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

Their timing was somewhat unfortunate.

The effect of Gao Yan learning who she was from Qi Ning is different from learning who she was from Gao Yun and Jiang Youcheng.

Given the current situation, Gao Yan might misunderstand and think that today's events were orchestrated by her, Gao Yun, and Jiang Youcheng, thus misunderstanding that Qi Ning is from the Jiang family's side.

If that's the case, then today's events have backfired.

Qi Ning's concerns were not unfounded; in fact, her guess was quite accurate.

Gao Yan and the other two left together. On the way, Gao Yun asked Jiang Youcheng, "Why did your Jiang family suddenly adopt a goddaughter? I heard that the girl was a former actress?"

Jiang Youcheng was somewhat displeased when the topic came up: "Since the Fourth Prince has heard that she was an actress, he must have also heard that my elder sister took pity on her and insisted on keeping her here."

"Even if she looked pitiful, we should have just saved her. Giving her freedom and some money would have been enough. Why did you have to take her in as your goddaughter? And your father even agreed to it?"

This is what truly puzzled Gao Yun.

Based on Gao Yun's understanding of Jiang Jingzhou, he wouldn't do something so self-degrading for no reason, like taking an actress as his goddaughter. It wouldn't do him any good unless there was another reason.

"Who knows what my eldest sister and my parents were thinking? My eldest sister said she felt a connection with her, and as for my parents, they probably only agreed because of my eldest sister."

Jiang Youcheng then teased Gao Yun, saying, "If Your Highness really wants to know the reason, you can just ask my elder sister. She will definitely tell you."

"No need for that, I was just asking casually."

That woman wasn't important enough for Gao Yun to specifically ask Jiang Weilan about her.

Moreover, Jiang Weilan is known in the capital for her generosity and kindness. Every year, she and Madam Jiang would do good deeds such as distributing porridge. She probably kept the woman with her out of kindness.

Gao Yun casually remarked, "That woman is quite beautiful."

Jiang Youcheng casually chimed in, "That's right, she is indeed quite good-looking."

They said these things unintentionally, but when Gao Yan heard them, they took on a different meaning.

Gao Yan already felt that it was strange for the woman to suddenly appear at the horse farm.

She said she was just passing by and waiting for her maid there, which Gao Yan could believe.

However, the appearance of Gao Yun and Jiang Youcheng later aroused Gao Yan's suspicions.

Gao Yan thought that Gao Yun and Jiang Youcheng's appearance just now was too coincidental, as if they came specifically to introduce the woman's identity to him.

And now, the two of them are talking to him about how pitiful the woman's background is and how outstanding her appearance is, which is really strange...

Could it be that the Jiang family took in that woman as their adopted daughter with the intention of using her to serve Gao Yun's faction and achieve certain goals by exploiting her beauty?

And he is their target?

Thinking of this, Gao Yan couldn't help but become wary of Qi Ning and Gao Yun.

Jiang Youcheng and Gao Yun were unaware that Gao Yan had become suspicious of them because of this matter.

Qi Ning's actions today had the opposite effect because of the two of them.

On his way back from the horse farm, Jiang Youcheng happened to run into Jiang Weiqing.

He recalled what had happened at the horse farm that day and called out to Jiang Weiqing.

Jiang Weiqing asked with some confusion, "Second Brother, is there something you need from me?"

"There is indeed something going on."

Jiang Youcheng said, "The Fourth Prince and I met Qi Ning at the horse farm today..."

"What? The Fourth Prince met Qi Ning at the horse farm?" Jiang Weiqing asked, unable to hide her excitement.

Could it be that Qi Ning has already begun to get close to the Fourth Prince?

Hehe, look at her pretending to be uninterested in the Fourth Prince, but she's actually got ulterior motives.

Jiang Youcheng frowned and glanced at Jiang Weiqing: "Yeah, what's wrong? I haven't even finished speaking, why are you reacting so strongly?"

Jiang Weiqing quickly smiled and said, "I just find it strange that Qi Ning went to the horse farm and even ran into the Fourth Prince."

"You find it strange, but I find it strange too."

Jiang Youcheng said impatiently, "Why didn't you and my elder sister keep an eye on her? How could you let her wander around the palace by herself? What if something happens and it affects our Jiang family?"

Judging from Jiang Youcheng's tone, something must have happened between Qi Ning and the Fourth Prince at the horse farm today.

Could it be that she seduced the Fourth Prince and was rejected by him, or that someone else discovered it?

Jiang Weiqing replied first: "Today, Mother took my elder sister and me to pay our respects to the ladies. It wasn't convenient to bring Qi Ning along on such an occasion. Who knew that after a while, she ran off on her own."

After hearing Jiang Weiqing's explanation, Jiang Youcheng's expression softened.

Immediately afterward, Jiang Weiqing asked impatiently, "Second Brother, what exactly happened to Qi Ning at the horse farm today? Did she offend the Fourth Prince?"

"That's not it."

Jiang Youcheng said, "She appeared near the horse farm today with her maid and was almost trampled by the Fifth Prince's horse. The Fourth Prince and I were looking for the Fifth Prince at that time and happened to witness this incident..."

Jiang Youcheng kept talking, but Jiang Weiqing's expression had already changed.

"Fifth Prince? Isn't it the Fourth Prince?"

She interrupted Jiang Youcheng again.

“It was the Fifth Prince. The Fourth Prince and I went over after him and happened to run into her,” Jiang Youcheng said. “Although it wasn’t a big deal and the Fifth Prince didn’t blame her, it was still inappropriate for her to be at the horse farm.”

"Go back and tell your elder sister about this matter, and ask her to keep a close eye on Qi Ning and prevent her from moving around freely, so as not to cause any trouble."

After giving his instructions, Jiang Youcheng left first.

Jiang Weiqing remained standing there, recalling what Jiang Youcheng had just said.

Shouldn't Qi Ning be seducing the Fourth Prince? How did she end up involving the Fifth Prince?

Was Qi Ning mistaken for the Fourth Prince instead of the Fifth Prince, or did she deliberately go after the Fifth Prince?

"Miss?"

Jiang Weiqing's maid noticed that she was lost in thought and called her name.

"Miss, are we going to find the eldest young lady?"

Jiang Weiqing snapped out of her daze: "Yes, of course I'll go."

Jiang Weiqing originally intended to use Qi Ning to sow discord between Gao Yun and Jiang Weilan, but who knew that Qi Ning's actions would be so baffling.

Fine, whether Qi Ning went after the Fourth Prince or the Fifth Prince, it doesn't stop her from using her.

Soon, Jiang Weiqing went to find Jiang Weilan with her maid.

"Sister."

"Wei Qing, what brings you here?"

Jiang Weilan had just returned from her mother's place and sat down, intending to ask her maid Qi Ning about the situation, when Jiang Weiqing came over.

Jiang Weiqing sat down on a chair and said, "Eldest sister, I just ran into second brother. He asked me to tell you something."

"what's up?"

"My second brother said that he and the fourth prince met Qi Ning at the horse farm today. He asked me to tell my eldest sister to keep an eye on Qi Ning so that she doesn't offend important people and implicate our Jiang family."

Jiang Weiqing only mentioned Gao Yun in her words, completely omitting Gao Yan.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Weilan frowned: "Did Ning'er go to the horse farm today?"

"Yes, my second brother told me that the Fourth Prince is also here."

Jiang Weiqing pretended to be concerned for Jiang Weilan and said, "Elder sister, I know you are good to Qi, but Qi grew up wandering outside and has a bad heart. When she was in the Jiang family, she was bossy to you. I couldn't stand it for a long time."

"Who knew that after arriving at the palace, she wandered around aimlessly and even went to the horse farm. No one knows what she was doing there, but she even ran into the Fourth Prince."

At this point, Jiang Weiqing lowered her voice: "Elder sister, you have to be careful. This Qi sister may have wicked intentions. Be careful that she doesn't set her sights on the Fourth Prince."

Jiang Weilan's expression changed upon hearing this.

"Wei Qing, you can't just say things like that. Ning'er shouldn't be that kind of person."

Jiang Weiqing observed Jiang Weilan's expression. Although she said she didn't believe Qi Ning was that kind of person, her face had clearly changed.

Jiang Weiqing smiled and said, "Of course, I'm just reminding you, elder sister. You can know a person's face but not their heart. It's better for you to be cautious."

"If elder sister thinks I've been too talkative, then just pretend I didn't say these things today."

Jiang Weiqing stopped there, having said all that, and then took her leave.

After watching Jiang Weiqing leave, Jiang Weilan immediately asked Biyu, "Is what she said true? Did Ning'er really go to the horse farm today?"

Biyu nodded: "Miss, I was just about to tell you about this."

“Bizhu has already told me about this matter, but what Bizhu said is somewhat different from what the Third Miss said.”

"What difference?"

Biyu said, "According to Bizhu, she and Miss Qi were walking around the horse farm today, but they did not go inside the horse farm, and Miss Qi did not cause any major trouble."

"However, when Miss Qi passed by the horse farm, she was almost trampled by the Fifth Prince on horseback. The Second Young Master and the Fourth Prince passed by later."

"Fifth Prince?"

"That's right, it was the Fifth Prince. However, the Fifth Prince did not blame Miss Qi. It's also possible that the Second Young Master and the Fourth Prince appeared in time to help Miss Qi out of the predicament."

Compared to that, Jiang Weilan naturally believed Bizhu's words more.

"If that's the case, why didn't Wei Qing mention the Fifth Prince at all just now?"

Biyu thought for a moment and guessed, "Could it be that the Second Young Master let something slip when he was talking to the Third Young Miss about this, or that the Third Young Miss missed something?"

Jiang Weilan nodded: "That is indeed possible."

It's quite normal for a few words to be misrepresented or for something to be omitted when relaying a message.

"Miss, please forgive my bluntness."

Biyu added, "Originally, I didn't find Bizhu's words strange, but after hearing what the Third Miss said just now, I think what she said makes sense."

"That Miss Qi doesn't seem very innocent. Why did she have to go to the horse farm of all places? Could it be that she really has ulterior motives?"

"It's always good to be wary of people. You shouldn't trust Miss Qi too much and it's better to be more cautious about her."

Jiang Weilan looked at Biyu: "According to you, who do you think Ning'er went to the horse farm today to see, the Fourth Prince or the Fifth Prince?"

"This one……"

Biyu pondered for a moment, then hesitated before saying, "This servant is not sure either, but Miss, whether Miss Qi did it intentionally or unintentionally, and whether she was targeting the Fourth Prince or the Fifth Prince, it's always good for you to be wary of her."

If Jiang Weilan had only heard Bizhu's description of what happened, she wouldn't have suspected anything; she would have simply assumed it was an accident.

But Jiang Weiqing happened to say those things and mentioned Gao Yun, so Jiang Weilan couldn't help but become a little suspicious of Qi Ning.

She recalled that Qi Ning had insisted on coming to the palace with her earlier. Could it be that he had developed feelings for Gao Yun?

Jiang Weilan sighed and said to Biyu, "What you said makes sense. In that case, have Bizhu keep a close eye on her."

When Jiang Weiqing went to Jiang Weilan to sow discord, the system informed Qi Ning of this.

“Host, it was Jiang Youcheng who told Jiang Weiqing about this, and Jiang Weiqing then embellished the story and told Jiang Weilan. Now Jiang Weilan suspects that you have feelings for Gao Yun.”

Qi Ning remained silent.

Jiang Youcheng and Jiang Weiqing are simply stumbling blocks on her path to completing her mission.

Later that evening, Jiang Weilan came to see Qi Ning.

She asked about what happened at the horse farm during the day, but didn't ask much, only whether Qi Ning was injured or frightened.

Then he told her not to go to those places again.

Although Jiang Weilan didn't say much and left without staying long, Qi Ning still sensed the change in her attitude; she was noticeably colder towards her.

Furthermore, from that day on, Bizhu kept a closer eye on her.

It wasn't just Bizhu; all the other maids besides Bizhu were also instructed to keep an eye on Qi Ning, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Whenever Qi Ning wanted to go out, even if it was just to walk around the courtyard, it wasn't just Bi Zhu who followed her, but three or four maids.

In this way, even if one maid is sent away, there are still three other maids watching over her.

Qi Ning even went directly to ask Jiang Weilan if sending so many people to follow her was to spy on her.

But Jiang Weilan said that she did this only for her safety and told her not to overthink it.

If Jiang Weilan were to be more direct and ask Qi Ning if she had feelings for Gao Yun, Qi Ning could deny it to her.

Jiang Weilan, however, didn't ask any questions, but simply sent more people to keep an eye on her.

Qi Ning couldn't very well take the initiative to tell Jiang Weilan that she wasn't interested in Gao Yun. That would be like "confessing without being asked," and Jiang Weilan wouldn't believe her anyway. Instead, she would become even more suspicious of her and restrict her activities even more.

Seeing this situation, the system said worriedly, "Host, it seems like you've hit a career Waterloo. With you being watched like this, it's impossible to continue this mission."

Qi Ning chuckled: "It's not that serious."

"Host, do you have a solution?" The system perked up again.

Qi Ning said, "There's nothing I can do."

system:"……"

The next second, the system screamed in frustration, "I don't believe it!"

The system suddenly remembered Qi Ning's feat of sneaking over the wall in the middle of the night to meet his target.

With Qi Ning's abilities, taking down a few maids would be no problem at all. The reason she didn't go out was probably because she didn't want to.

"Host, tell me, do you not want to go out?"
