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

Cao Dong, who was standing guard outside the door, could vaguely hear the arguing inside the house, and he was filled with apprehension.

This Miss Qi is truly remarkable; she dares to argue with His Majesty and isn't afraid of his anger.

After an unknown amount of time, the tightly closed door was finally opened.

Gao Yan was pushed forward by Qi Ning, who said with a stern face, "Hurry up and leave, don't bother seeing me out!"

Immediately afterwards, she slammed the door shut from the inside.

Cao Dong looked at Gao Yan, whose face was also very pale. There was a slightly red mark on his left cheek, which looked like he had been hit. In addition, there was a cut on the corner of his mouth.

Why was His Majesty not only kicked out after going in, but also injured?

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Cao Dong asked cautiously.

Gao Yan glanced at the closed door with a gloomy expression. He turned around, raised his hand to touch the injury on his face, and then smiled again.

For the past three years, Cao Dong had been serving as a bodyguard to the emperor, watching Gao Yan suffer from his inability to find Qi Ning. He was usually grumpy and rarely smiled.

But now that they had finally found this Miss Qi, Gao Yan kept changing his expression, sometimes cold and sometimes smiling, which puzzled Cao Dong greatly.

Gao Yan noticed Cao Dong's gaze and glanced at him: "What are you looking at?"

"No, it's nothing."

Cao Dong quickly looked away.

Gao Yan glanced in the direction of the neighbor's house and asked, "Is the neighbor's yard ready?"

"Your Majesty, it's all ready."

Gao Yan responded, but instead of leaving as Qi Ning had instructed, he stayed in another courtyard of her residence.

After kicking Gao Yan out, the first thing Qi Ning did was to check her secret stash of money.

She had only been gone a short while when Gao Yan and his men occupied the house. She was terrified that Gao Yan's men would also find her secret stash of money.

If her secret stash of money is gone, how will she live in the future?

Qi Ning hurriedly took a wooden box out of a hidden compartment in the cabinet.

She checked and found that her secret stash of money hadn't been taken, and after counting the items inside, nothing was missing, which put her mind at ease.

However, before Qi Ning could enjoy her little treasure for long, the system suddenly told her: "Host, Gao Yan didn't leave. He had someone clean up the yard next door and moved in. It seems he's planning to stay here."

"what?"

It's worth it!

Qi Ning immediately put down her wooden box and went outside. When she opened the door, she saw that Gao Yan's men were indeed still guarding the courtyard, and there was some movement in the neighboring courtyard as well.

She stormed off to the neighboring courtyard, and the guards didn't dare stop her, perhaps because they had been instructed beforehand.

Qi Ning barged in.

"Gao Zhen!"

Gao Yan was sitting at the table, already reviewing memorials with a pen in hand.

Anyone who didn't know better would think this was his own place, and he acted as if it were his own.

Upon hearing Qi Ning's voice, Gao Yan put down his brush and looked up at her.

"What's wrong."

He acted as if nothing had happened.

"You have the nerve to ask me what's wrong? Didn't I tell you to take your people and leave my house right now?!"

Why should I leave?

“This is the house I bought, and I have the right to make you leave,” Qi Ning emphasized.

Gao Yan remained unmoved: "It's true that you bought this house, but before you left, you took a lot of things from my storeroom. Wasn't that bought with my money? I didn't ask you to pay me back. It's just that you're staying in the house you bought with my money. Isn't that reasonable?"

"Who said this was bought with your money?"

Qi Ning said, "When I left, I not only took money from your treasury, but also some of it was money that Jiang Weilan gave me. I used the Jiang family's money."

"Is that so? How can you prove that you used the Jiang family's money and not mine?" Gao Yan asked.

Qi Ning's money had long been mixed up, and she really couldn't tell the difference, nor could she prove it.

"Okay, even if I used money that I took from your warehouse, you gave me the warehouse key voluntarily and said that everything in the warehouse belonged to me. Since you gave it to me, it's mine. I didn't take it without asking, so how can you say it's your money?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Yan lowered his head and smiled.

He really liked Qi Ning's quick wit and sharp tongue; she always managed to shut him down.

Since he couldn't reason with Qi Ning, he had no choice but to put on airs.

Gao Yan tapped his fingers on the table and said calmly, "All land under heaven belongs to the emperor. I am the emperor. Even if this is your house, the land beneath it belongs to me. Why can't I live here?"

He changed his self-reference, constantly referring to himself as "朕" (Zhen, the imperial "I").

Qi Ning gritted her teeth.

She scoffed, "Fine, stay if you want."

After saying that, Qi Ning turned and left.

She returned to her courtyard, closed the door behind her, and sat down on the tatami mat.

Seeing this, the system said, "Host, would you like to buy another house?"

"it's useless."

Qi Ning immediately rejected the idea.

“He already said that all land under heaven belongs to the king, so if I buy other houses, aren’t they still his?”

“That’s true,” the system said. “Judging from Gao Yan’s behavior, it seems like he’s planning to stall for time with you.”

Qi Ning crossed his arms and said, "Let's see who can outlast whom. He's the emperor, and he'll have to go back to the capital sooner or later. How much time can he afford to waste with me?"

The system seemed puzzled by this.

"It's quite strange that Gao Yan didn't force you to go back to the capital."

On the other hand, Cao Dong and the system shared the same doubts.

"Your Majesty, why don't you just kidnap Miss Qi and take her back to the capital?"

Cao Dong was standing nearby, watching the entire argument between His Majesty and Miss Qi.

He was very puzzled. His Majesty was extremely decisive in handling other matters, so why did he prefer to struggle with Miss Qi like this instead of tying her up first? It was really not His Majesty's style.

Gao Yan glanced at Cao Dong after hearing his words, but did not reply.

Should we take Qi Ning back to the capital?

He certainly wanted that too.

He had certainly considered simply tying her up and taking her back, but he restrained himself.

Gao Yan recalled that when Qi Ning was unwilling to be with him at Luoxue Residence in Songshan Palace, he forced her to stay. At that time, he thought that as long as he could get her body first, he would naturally find a way to get her heart later.

But what happened next?

Later, Qi Ning pretended to be agreeable and did not show any rejection towards him, which made him lower his guard. Once she had avenged her great grudge, she immediately ran away.

Even if he forcibly brings Qi Ning back to the capital this time, as long as she is not doing it willingly, she will find a chance to leave sooner or later.

Should he keep her locked up forever? That would only make them a bitter couple, and he didn't want that.

Gao Yan knew very well that if Qi Ning ran away again, he might not be able to find her again.

This time it's three years, but next time it might be five or ten years, or even a lifetime.

Now that he has finally found her, he can't force her anymore.

He wanted to make Qi Ning willingly go back with him.
