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

(The first chapter of this world is updated in chapter 358. Start reading from the previous chapter.) After learning of Meng Jiyang's death, Chen Hehua felt as if the sky had fallen.

Immediately afterwards, she worried that Qi Ning might remarry or run away with some other man.

After all, Qi Ning is still young and good-looking, so remarrying wouldn't be too difficult for her.

If Qi Ning remarries, then there will be no one to take care of her, and no one to care for her in her old age and see her off in her final days.

Chen Hehua was filled with regret. If she had known this would happen, she should have let Meng Jiyang and Qi Ning have a child before letting Meng Jiyang go to the capital to take the imperial examination.

It's too late to say anything now that things have come to this.

After much thought, Chen Hehua came up with this idea: she wanted her nephew Chen Dahu and Qi Ning to have a child together.

In this way, not only will the Meng family have a successor and she be able to hold her grandson, but she can also use the child to bind Qi Ning, making it impossible for her to remarry.

Chen Hehua was always thick-skinned, and she was only slightly embarrassed when faced with Qi Ning's questioning.

She pretended to wipe her eyes and said, "A-Ning, I did all this for the Meng family and for you. Even if Ji-Yang knew in the afterlife, he certainly wouldn't blame me."

Looking at Chen Hehua's hypocritical face, Qi Ning felt extremely ironic.

With her own son dead, Chen Hehua, this old woman, barely shed a few genuine tears before starting to scheme for her own future.

It's likely that Meng Jiyang's selfish nature was inherited from Chen Hehua.

“Mother, you keep saying that you are doing this to leave an heir for the Meng family, but Chen Dahu is your nephew from your maternal family. He is surnamed Chen, not Meng. Aren’t you deliberately destroying the Meng family’s bloodline?”

Chen Hehua knew, of course, that Chen Dahu was not a member of the Meng family.

However, she couldn't find a suitable and reliable person in a short period of time. Only her nephew from her maternal family was a family member she could trust and who could keep her secret.

Moreover, Chen Hehua knew that Chen Dahu had long harbored feelings for her as his daughter-in-law, and she could use this to her advantage to control him.

Chen Hehua said confidently, "A-Ning, Da Hu is my own nephew, not an outsider. The child you have is just like a child from the Chen family being adopted into the Meng family. It's the same thing."

"Besides, only Da Hu can guarantee that this matter will not be known to outsiders. Aning, just agree."

Qi Ning asked again, "But my husband is no longer here. If I suddenly find myself pregnant, what are you going to tell everyone?"

"You don't need to worry about that, I've already thought it through."

Chen Hehua clapped her hands: "Once you get pregnant, I'll take you to hide out for a while. We'll say we're going to the capital to find Jiyang. When the baby is born, we'll bring it back and say it's Jiyang's child."

"We'll wait until the child is a little older before we reveal that Jiyang is gone. No one else will know."

This is why Chen Hehua was reluctant to reveal Meng Jiyang's "death" to the public, nor did she hold a funeral for him.

She had thought things through quite thoroughly, even considering how to handle Qi Ning's pregnancy.

After Chen Hehua finished speaking, seeing that Qi Ning did not immediately agree, her expression gradually changed.

She put her hands on her hips and asked, "What's wrong? You don't want to? Or do you want to remarry?"

“I’ve heard that you had a lover in Qijia Village before you married into this family. But I remember that your lover had already married and fled with his family. Even your maternal family fled. We don’t know if they are alive or dead now. Do you think anyone will help you if you leave the Meng family?”

The lover Chen Hehua mentioned was the original owner's childhood sweetheart before she married Meng Jiyang.

Not long after the original owner married into the family, that man also got married.

In reality, the original owner had long since let go of that childhood sweetheart, not to mention that the person had now fled to who knows where.

Chen Hehua got more and more excited as she spoke. She pointed at Qi Ning and said, "Let me tell you, don't be ungrateful. If you have a child with my nephew, you'll have someone to rely on for the rest of your life. Think it over carefully!"

"Auntie."

Chen Dahu tugged at Chen Hehua, called her name, and gave her a meaningful look.

He was clearly impatient and wanted to force himself on her.

Chen Hehua thought that it would be best to persuade Qi Ning to cooperate willingly. If she didn't cooperate, she would have no choice but to hand the matter over to Chen Dahu.

Seeing Chen Dahu's anxious look, she turned her head and glared at him.

Chen Hehua glanced at the silent Qi Ning again, and she didn't want to waste any more words.

Just as Chen Hehua was about to leave the room, Qi Ning suddenly called out to her.

"mother."

Chen Hehua paused, turned around, and asked, "What's wrong? Have you figured it out?"

"Ah."

Qi Ning nodded.

“Mother, you’re right. I know you’re doing this for my own good. I didn’t agree right away because of my husband… I only recently learned that he has passed away, and I just can’t accept it right now.”

Hearing Qi Ning say this, Chen Hehua's expression softened slightly.

Thinking of her son, Chen Hehua also felt bad.

"Alright, Jiyang is gone. Do you think I'm not heartbroken as his mother? But he's already gone. There's no use thinking about it anymore. You should hurry up and get things done, lest the news of Jiyang's death get out."

"I know, it's just..."

"Just what?" Chen Hehua asked impatiently.

Qi Ning glanced at the restless Chen Dahu, then pulled Chen Hehua aside and whispered in her ear, "Mom, I've started my period, so it's not convenient these days."

"Really?" Chen Hehua asked, half believing and half doubting.

She couldn't remember the day Qi Ning came to her menstrual period, and for a moment, Chen Hehua couldn't tell whether Qi Ning was lying.

"Of course it's true, why would I lie to you?"

Qi Ning sniffed and pretended to be sad, saying, "Mother, please let my cousin come in a few days. I'll be feeling better then. In the next few days, I can properly pay my respects to my husband and ease my heartache."

Chen Hehua was afraid that Qi Ning would rush to remarry or run away with another man, which is why she hurriedly called Chen Dahu over, wanting to make it a done deal as soon as possible.

Now that Qi Ning had been persuaded and agreed to the matter, she was no longer in such a hurry.

"Okay, then let's do it in a few days."

"Aunt!"

Hearing Chen Hehua say this, Chen Dahu was displeased.

Chen Hehua pulled Chen Dahu outside: "Didn't you hear? She's on her period. It's not convenient for her tonight. Come back in a few days."

"This……"

Chen Dahu turned around reluctantly and glanced in the direction of Qi Ning's room.

Chen Hehua slapped him on the back: "Alright, alright, stop looking. She's already agreed. You can come over again in a few days after her period ends."

"Then you'd better keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't get away," Chen Dahu said worriedly.
