Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge

With Qi Jingyu's promise, Qi Ning temporarily put the matter aside.

After Qi Jinglin was disciplined by the family, he and his wife and son became well-behaved.

Of course, they hadn't given up behind the scenes, but on the surface they were indeed behaving themselves.

Qi Jinglin stayed home every day to recuperate and read, pretending to be an ambitious and good grandson; the first wife spent her days drinking tea and chatting with the old lady, pretending to be a dutiful and filial daughter-in-law.

Qi Ning temporarily ignored the mother and son, who were both excellent actors.

That day, when she was playing in the garden with Qi Tang, Qi Jingyu passed by.

Qi Jingyu stood still, watching the two sisters from a distance.

He only walked over when Qi Ning turned around and noticed him.

Qi Ning instructed the maid to watch over Qi Tang, then walked over to Qi Jingyu and asked, "Did you need something from me?"

Qi Jingyu responded and took out a long, rectangular wooden box from his sleeve, handing it to Qi Ning.

"For you."

Qi Ning reached out and took it. In fact, she already guessed what was inside, but she still asked knowingly, "What is this?"

"Have you forgotten the hairpin I owe you?"

Qi Ning smiled and opened the wooden box. Inside were indeed two hairpins: one was a red gold hairpin inlaid with kingfisher feathers, and the other was a white jade begonia hairpin.

The workmanship was extremely exquisite, and it was clear at a glance that it was very valuable, much more valuable than the two gold hairpins she had used as money before.

Qi Ning picked it up and examined it carefully for a few moments, her eyes showing great satisfaction. However, she muttered to herself, "I didn't forget. I thought you had forgotten. You've been back for so long and haven't returned it. I thought you were trying to renege on your debt, so I was going to remind you."

Qi Jingyu explained, "I had Xiuzhu specially order this for me, so it took some time."

Qi Ning put the hairpin back into the box, her eyes smiling: "Alright, considering how exquisite this hairpin is, it's worth the wait."

After she finished speaking, she looked up and saw that Qi Jingyu looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. She asked him, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Qi Jingyu nodded slightly: "Now that my leg ailment has been cured, since I promised to reward the old doctor with a large sum of money, I plan to go there in person to show my sincerity."

Qi Ning nodded: "Indeed, the old doctor cured your leg ailment, you should really thank him."

Qi Jingyu looked at Qi Ning and asked, "Then, second sister, would you like to come with me?"

Qi Ning's eyes lit up: "Leave the manor?"

"Yes, do you want to go?"

“Okay, then I’ll go with you.” Qi Ning agreed.

Soon, Qi Jingyu brought up the matter with his elders.

They had previously mentioned that after falling off the cliff, they encountered a hermit doctor who saved them, and it was only right that they wanted to personally thank him.

Moreover, the old doctor's residence wasn't actually far away; a quick carriage ride would take him back and forth in a day, so there was nothing to worry about.

The next morning.

Qi Ning brought Dong Yue, and Qi Jingyu brought Xiu Zhu; the four of them set off.

After the terrifying incident, Xiuzhu was still shaken. He carefully inspected the carriage, and since he didn't trust the driver in the manor, he drove it himself.

Bored on the journey, Qi Ning and Qi Jingyu played chess in the carriage.

Qi Jingyu was an outrageous person; he was not only very talented in calligraphy, but also very good at chess.

Qi Ning deliberately took back her move in front of him. She blocked Qi Jingyu with one hand and reached for the chessboard with the other: "Wait, wait, wait, I made a mistake. I won't play there. Let me change it."

Qi Jingyu just watched her, then stretched out his slender fingers and moved the pieces around on the chessboard.

He said nothing, nor was he angry. He continued playing chess, waiting for Qi Ning to take back her move again.

Dongyue was serving him from the side. She looked at the scene and thought, well, it was a bit like one person was willing to hit and the other was willing to be hit.

When we arrived at the entrance of the old doctor's courtyard, his grandson was playing there again.

Qi Jingyu and Qi Ning got off the carriage.

The little boy recognized them immediately upon seeing them, and he jumped up and down, saying, "You're here again!"

After saying that, he dashed into the yard to inform the old doctor.

Qi Ning and Qi Jingyu entered the courtyard and saw the old doctor again.

"I have come today as promised to reward the doctor handsomely."

Qi Jingyu had Xiuzhu bring over a wooden tray covered with a red cloth.

The old doctor lifted the red cloth on top, glanced at it, and his eyes lit up instantly. He happily accepted it.

"Hey, you young people are quite trustworthy."

He put the tray away and then looked at Qi Jingyu's leg: "How are you feeling after taking the medicine I prescribed?"

Qi Jingyu said, "Besides rewarding the doctor handsomely, I have another reason for coming here: I would like the doctor to examine me again."

"What's wrong? Is something the problem?"

Having accepted the large sum of money, the old doctor was unusually easy to talk to today.

"It's not that it's wrong, but you said that my leg problem had been neglected for too long and couldn't be cured completely, at most I could walk normally again. But after taking the medicine you prescribed, I feel like I'm already cured. I don't know if it's just my imagination?"

Upon hearing this, the old doctor immediately said, "Really? Come here and let me take a look."

Qi Ning, who was playing with the children nearby, secretly glanced over here.

The old doctor examined Qi Jingyu's leg again and took his pulse, his expression growing increasingly strange.

"How is it, doctor?" Qi Jingyu asked.

The old doctor withdrew his hand from taking your pulse, hissed, and said, "That is indeed a bit strange. Are you sure you only took the medicine I prescribed?"

“Of course,” Qi Jingyu replied.

The medicine was ordered to be obtained by Qi Ning, and it was also prepared by her; there shouldn't be any problems.

Moreover, he didn't experience any discomfort after drinking it; in fact, the effect was unexpectedly better.

The old doctor sighed, "That's strange. Logically speaking, your leg ailment has indeed been delayed for too long, and it's already quite an achievement that you can walk normally again."

"But now your leg injury has been cured, so it won't affect you if you want to ride horses or practice martial arts in the future."

Qi Jingyu looked up with slight surprise: "Really?"

The old doctor raised his hand: "It can't be faked, I can guarantee that, I just don't know why this happened..."

Qi Ning suddenly interjected, "Didn't you say before that it varies from person to person? Perhaps it's because my brother has been recuperating well."

That being said, no matter how well one cultivates oneself, one cannot reach that level.

But there is no other possibility besides this explanation.

The old doctor stroked his beard: "Perhaps, just as this little girl said."

Qi Jingyu also agreed with this view in his heart.

He recovered better, which was neither a good thing nor a bad thing, so there was nothing to worry about and he stopped investigating.

They didn't stay with the old doctor for long; they soon got into their carriage and left.

After all, they needed to get back to the Marquis's residence before dark.
