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

Previously, when Du Rong was first imprisoned for drugging Zeng Wanqing, Qi Ning had Dong Xue bribe the old woman guarding Du Rong.

First, we need to get that old woman to give Du Rong some special "care".

Secondly, it allowed the old woman to promptly relay news from outside to Du Rong.

Du Rong knew about Qi Ning's upcoming marriage to Prince Qing and her becoming Prince Qing's consort some time ago.

Although Qi Ning wasn't really going to marry Prince Qing, Du Rong was still furious when she heard the news.

Recently, Du Rong has likely learned about the news that Qi Jingyu is not the son of a concubine from the second wife, but the orphan of the former crown prince, and that he successfully seized the throne, as well as the news that Qi Jinglin broke his leg and became lame.

After confirming with the system and receiving a positive response, Qi Ning decided to personally visit the first wife and her son.

"Winter Moon and Winter Snow, come with me to the main house. I want to visit the eldest young master and the first wife."

"Girl, why are you going to see them?" Dongxue stopped massaging Qi Ning's legs and asked, puzzled.

"Yes, young lady, why do you want to visit them?" Dongyue didn't understand Qi Ning's meaning either, and even forgot to wave the fan in her hand.

They hadn't forgotten that the First Madam and her son had plotted to make Qi Ning fall off a cliff, nearly killing her. Later, they implicated Qi Ning in the matter of drugging Zeng Wanqing, trying to frame her.

In their view, the First Madam and Qi Jinglin, mother and son, were extremely wicked and deserved their current fate; there was absolutely no need to visit them.

"What are you thinking?" Qi Ning chuckled. "I just want to see how miserable they are these days."

Upon hearing this, both of the maids, Dongyue and Dongxue, were amused.

Soon the three of them, master and servant, went to the courtyard of the main house together.

Qi Ning went to see Qi Jinglin first.

When she arrived at Qi Jinglin's courtyard, before she even entered the bedroom, she heard a shout coming from inside.

"Get out!"

"You're all here to laugh at me, aren't you?"

"Go quickly and fetch a doctor for me. I refuse to believe my leg can't be healed."

A servant replied cautiously, "Young master, it's not that I don't want to call a doctor for you, it's just that Doctor Zhang and the imperial physician both said that your leg..."

He dared not say the rest aloud, but the meaning was self-evident.

"Get out, get out of here!"

A moment later, two servants ran out of the room, and then another teacup flew out and smashed on the ground.

"Be careful girl!"

Qi Ning took a step back, and the shard did not touch her.

The two servants were somewhat surprised to see Qi Ning arrive: "Second Miss, what brings you here?"

"I've come to see the young master. You all stay outside and keep watch."

"Yes," the two servants replied in unison.

Qi Ning led Dongyue and Dongxue into Qi Jinglin's bedroom.

When Qi Ning entered, she immediately saw Qi Jinglin lying helplessly on the bed, panting heavily.

"Why are you so angry, elder brother? Be careful not to hurt yourself."

Qi Jinglin turned around when he heard the voice and found that it was Qi Ning who had come over.

"Second sister? What brings you here?"

"I've come to visit my elder brother. I heard you injured your leg."

Qi Ning glanced at Qi Jinglin's legs.

She had no idea what was going on until she saw it; it was far more serious than she had imagined.

Both legs are injured.

This is probably not as simple as being unable to walk normally; it's that they can't get out of bed at all.

He didn't just become lame; he became a cripple with both legs crippled.

However, Qi Jinglin had almost murdered the last son of the late crown prince. This crime did not cost him his life; he was only stripped of his legs, which was already considered lenient.

Qi Jinglin noticed that Qi Ning was looking at his legs, so he reached out and covered his injured legs with the blanket.

Not long after Qi Jinglin carried Qi Ning to the bridal sedan chair that day, turmoil broke out in the capital, and it was said that someone was plotting a rebellion.

At first, Qi Jinglin didn't know who the traitor was. He only thought that Prince Qing was his brother-in-law and that he should take the opportunity to make a contribution and gain his brother-in-law's favor.

Unexpectedly, on his way to help, he was attacked and his leg was broken. The person who injured him was a subordinate of Prince Qing, who attacked him because he thought he was a traitor.

He was rescued and taken back to the Marquis of Changping's residence, but later he heard from his subordinates that the traitor was Qi Jingyu, whose true identity was the orphan of the former crown prince.

His second uncle, Qi Congming, was an accomplice of Qi Jingyu.

When Prince Qing's men injured him, they were unaware that the traitor was connected to the Qi family. Had they known, they probably would have taken his life.

Qi Jinglin didn't know this at first. If he had, he would never have thought of seeking refuge with Prince Qing.

Qi Jinglin thought to himself that if Qi Congming and Qi Jingyu had told him everything earlier, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

Upon seeing Qi Ning, Qi Jinglin naturally felt resentful, but he forcibly suppressed that resentment because he still needed Qi Ning's help.

"Second sister, I beg you, please ask my second brother to send a few more imperial physicians to treat my leg ailment."

Qi Ning picked a clean chair and sat down, saying unhurriedly, "Didn't the imperial physician already come?"

"So what if he came? One isn't enough. Couldn't he have sent a few more imperial physicians?"

Qi Jinglin's temper, which he had just suppressed, suddenly erupted again.

Since injuring his leg, he has been unable to control his emotions.

He shouted loudly, "Even if the imperial physicians are incompetent, what about Doctor Su who treated Qi Jingyu's leg ailment before, and that hermit doctor from the mountains? Bring them both here!"

In Qi Ning's eyes, his rant was nothing more than impotent rage.

"Elder brother, don't get agitated. The imperial physician said that your leg ailment is too severe, unlike your second brother's condition. Even if a god came, it would be difficult to save you. Bringing Doctor Su and that hermit doctor over here would be useless."

"Elder brother, instead of clinging to these fantasies, you should focus on recovering from your injuries. Also, let me remind you, your second brother is no longer the half-brother you once looked down upon, but the current Emperor. You'd better show some respect and be careful not to say anything that might cause trouble."

Qi Jinglin was about to go berserk, but when Qi Ning reminded him of Qi Jingyu's true identity, he immediately fell silent.

Seeing Qi Jinglin's pathetic state, Qi Ning was completely relieved.

"Now that I've come to see my elder brother, I'll be leaving now. I also plan to visit my aunt while I'm at it."

After saying that, Qi Ning smiled at him and left with his men.

Qi Jinglin felt a chill creep into his heart when he saw the smile on Qi Ning's face before she left.

He belatedly realized that this might be revenge.

It was Qi Jingyu and Qi Ning's revenge against him...

After leaving Qi Jinglin's place, Qi Ning went straight to Guan Durong's courtyard.

Two old women were guarding outside. When they saw Qi Ning coming, they immediately curtsied to her.

Qi Ning gave Dong Yue a wink, and Dong Yue gave the two old women two strings of cash, letting them leave temporarily.

"You guys stay outside and keep watch. I'll go in and talk to her alone."

"Yes." Dongyue and Dongxue stood guard outside the door, while Qi Ning entered the Buddhist hall alone.

Du Rong was kneeling in front of the Buddha.

Hearing footsteps, she turned around and saw that it was Qi Ning.

"What are you doing here?" Du Rong asked.

Qi Ning said with regret, "I just went to see my elder brother's legs. Seeing that his legs are crippled and he may not be able to get out of bed for the rest of his life, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. So, I came to see my aunt."

Upon hearing that Qi Jinglin was disabled in both legs, the First Madam's already pale face turned even paler.

Of course she heard about it.

The recent events at the Marquis of Changping's residence have caused Du Rong's emotions to fluctuate greatly.

First, she learned that Qi Ning was about to become the Princess Consort of Qing, which made her both jealous and angry.

When Qi Jinglin came to see her, Du Rong told him to submit to Qi Ning and to get close to Prince Qing.

Who knew that Qi Ning would not marry him in the end, and Prince Qing would fall from grace.

But Du Rong was not happy, because the person who brought down Prince Qing was none other than Qi Jingyu.

The son of the second wife, born out of wedlock, actually became the new emperor!

In other words, Qi Ning will not suffer because of Prince Qing's downfall.

And Qi Congming has now achieved the merit of following the emperor.

Without a doubt, Qi Congming would be promoted to Duke based on his merit in supporting the emperor.

The title she had always wanted to reclaim from Qi Congming was now gone forever.

Now, all that remains in Du Rong's heart is fear, a deep, profound fear.

She had already guessed that Qi Jinglin's broken leg was their doing, a blatant act of revenge.

Qi Jinglin became disabled, ruining his entire future and depriving Du Rong of all her support and hope.

Whether their revenge has ended or has just begun is unknown.

The moment she saw Qi Ning approaching, her fear rose from the depths of her heart.

"Jinglin's leg was your revenge, wasn't it?" Du Rong asked.

"So what if it is?" Qi Ning admitted without hesitation.

"Now that his legs are both useless, what are you doing here? Isn't that enough?"

Qi Ning glanced at the empty Buddhist hall and said, "I came here today mainly to confirm something with my aunt."

"what's up?"

"You killed my mother, didn't you?"

Although it was a question, Qi Ning spoke with great certainty.

Du Rong's pupils constricted: "I don't understand what you're talking about. Didn't your mother die in childbirth? What does that have to do with me?"

"How can it not concern you?"

Qi Ning laughed: "If you hadn't been stirring things up in my mother's ear every day, first using the concubine's son to provoke her, and when that didn't work, then telling her how dangerous the frontier was and that my father might not come back, how could she have been so afraid, how could she have been so agitated, and how could she have died in childbirth?"

"Tell me, how can this have nothing to do with you?"

Du Rong was shocked that Qi Ning actually knew. How could she know so much?

"H-how did you know?"

“I was already seven years old when my mother passed away, so it's not surprising that I knew, is it? Besides, if you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place.”

"Now that you know, why are you asking me? Do you want to kill me to avenge your mother?"

"How could that be? Why would I kill you? Aunt, don't talk nonsense."

Du Rong shouted, "I want to see the old lady! I want to see the old lady! You want to kill me!"

"Do you think you can just see the old lady whenever you want? Even your son and daughter are struggling to take care of themselves, so you can't see them either. If you behave yourself, you can live a little longer."

Du Rong trembled all over, looking at Qi Ning in terror.

Qi Ning looked down at Du Rong's fearful expression.

The most terrifying time for a person is when they feel death approaching step by step before they die.

Qi Ning didn't stay long. She came today only to let Du Rong experience the fear of death before she died.

But Du Rong wasn't sure if Qi Ning would really kill her, or when she would do it.

Living in such uncertainty and wavering, let her experience the same torment her mother went through back then.

This was also the last time Qi Ning saw the mother and son.

Before leaving, Qi Ning specifically instructed the guards to keep a close watch on him.

Of course, Qi Ning was certain that Du Rong wouldn't dare to commit suicide; if she did, it would save her a lot of trouble.

A few days after Qi Ning returned to the Marquis of Changping's residence, Qi Jingyu's enthronement ceremony was prepared in full swing by the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Observatory.

The coronation ceremony was successfully held, and Qi Jingyu officially became the new emperor.

Qi Congming was naturally also granted the title of Duke Zhenguo.

The Marquis of Changping's mansion was transformed into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

With the new emperor's ascension to the throne and the court in dire need of rebuilding, Qi Jingyu was busier than ever before.

Qi Ning didn't know how long Qi Jingyu would be busy, but she guessed that he would definitely be busy for the foreseeable future.

She felt a pang of sadness, thinking that things were indeed different once he became emperor; even seeing him was difficult.

However, Qi Ning had only been asleep for a short while when she vaguely heard footsteps outside the bed curtains.
