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

Chapter 36 The Cannon Fodder Maid's Counterattack to Become the Mistress 1

The Xu residence, Luoxia Courtyard.

In the main hall, a young couple sat in the main seat.

Two maids and two servants knelt before the young couple.

The young woman looked at the four people below and said softly, "Jing'er, Ning'er, you two are my personal maids who have grown up with me since you were little. Now you are both over eighteen years old and have reached the age to get married."

As she spoke, she glanced at the man beside her.

"It just so happens that your young master's servants, Afu and Axi, are not yet married."

"Therefore, the eldest young master and I have specially called the four of you here today to arrange marriages for you. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the maids and servants below reacted with varying expressions.

But the next moment, the two servants and one of the maids replied in unison, "It is entirely up to the young mistress to decide."

However, the other maid looked troubled. Her eyes flickered, and her lips were slightly pursed, as if she wanted to say something but did not speak.

The woman at the head of the table naturally noticed her unusual behavior.

"Ning'er, do you have any objections?"

The maid called Ning'er quickly shook her head and said, "Young Madam, I don't want to get married yet. Please let me continue to serve you."

Upon hearing this, the eldest young mistress's expression changed slightly, and her eyes clearly revealed a hint of dissatisfaction.

But her voice remained gentle and smiling: "What girl doesn't get married? Besides, even if you get married, you can still come back to serve me."

"But……"

Ning'er was interrupted by another maid beside her before she could finish speaking.

"Ning'er! The eldest young mistress is doing you a favor by arranging your marriage, yet you are ungrateful and dare to contradict her."

……

Qi Ning had just arrived in this new mission world when she was faced with this arranged marriage scene.

The system had already transmitted the plot of the new world to her in advance.

This world is a story about power struggles within a family.

The female lead is Li Yunshu, the young lady of the Li family, and the male lead is Xu Yanzong, the eldest son of the Xu family. They are the couple sitting at the head of the table right now.

The main plot revolves around Li Yunshu, an illegitimate daughter, who was mistreated and bullied by her stepmother and stepsister from a young age.

When they reached marriageable age, her elder sister married into one of the wealthiest families in Yangzhou, while Li Yunshu married into the somewhat declining Xu family and became the second wife of Xu Yanzong, the eldest son of the Xu family.

After marrying into the Xu family, she faced many challenges.

For example, Xu Yanzong still cherishes the memory of his first wife who died in childbirth; the Xu family looks down on her status as an illegitimate child; there is the scheming and infighting among her sisters-in-law; and she has not been able to conceive after a year of marriage, leading to suspicions that she is infertile...

However, two years after marrying into the Xu family, Xu Yunshu won her husband's favor, gained control of the household, defeated her treacherous sister-in-law, and gave birth to the Xu family's great-grandson.

Not only that, she also revived the Xu family's business and brought the once-declining Xu family back to prosperity. Her reputation for virtue and kindness spread far and wide, forming a stark contrast with her elder sister who married the wrong person.

Throughout this process, Li Yunshu was accompanied by two maids: Jing'er, who was honest, gentle, and generous, and Ning'er, who was sharp-tongued, proud, and arrogant.

At first, when Li Yunshu needed Ning'er, she felt that Ning'er was strong-willed, bold, and could protect her, doing many things that Ning'er herself was not comfortable doing personally, and was more capable than Jing'er.

But once her position was secure, she began to feel that Ning'er's personality was too sharp and she was not obedient, while Jing'er was more loyal and obedient.

Towards the end of the story, Jing'er often whispers in Li Yunshu's ear that Ning'er has done something inappropriate, offended someone with her words, and damaged Li Yunshu's kind and gentle image.

Although Li Yunshu was increasingly dissatisfied with Ning'er, she still remembered their past relationship and would only offer a few words of advice.

It wasn't until Jing'er said that she saw Ning'er serving tea to the young master, and the two were chatting and laughing, that she suspected Ning'er had ulterior motives and wanted to seduce the young master.

This incident truly made Li Yunshu harbor resentment towards Ning'er.

Her two maids were getting old and it was time for them to get married, so she quickly came up with the idea of ​​arranging their marriages.

Coincidentally, the male protagonist Xu Yanzong also has two servants by his side: one is the mature, steady, and reliable Afu, and the other is the glib, clever, and cunning Axi.

Li Yunshu wanted to marry Jing'er to Afu and Ning'er to Axi.

The other three had no objections, but Ning'er disagreed.

She looked down on Ah Xi and preferred to stay by Li Yunshu's side as a stewardess for the rest of her life.

But this only confirmed Li Yunshu's suspicion that Ning'er wanted to stay and become Xu Yanzong's concubine.

Then she first suggested several other candidates, but when Ning'er still disagreed, she said she would give her a contract of indenture so that she could leave the Xu family.

A maid in a wealthy family is considered half a young lady. Leaving the Xu family to become an ordinary citizen is definitely not as good as staying in the Xu family as a servant. Of course, Ning'er was unwilling to leave the Xu family.

Since the other candidates were not as good as Ah-Xi, she had no choice but to reluctantly agree to marry him.

The story ends here with double happiness, a perfect conclusion.

But beyond the story, many other things happened that were not mentioned.

On the wedding day, Ning'er was ready to accept her fate, but Ah Xi came back drunk and said that he actually wanted to marry Jing'er.

Ning'er's temper couldn't stand it, and she got into a fight with Axi on their wedding night.

She went to Li Yunshu for help, but Li Yunshu just tried to smooth things over and blamed both sides equally.

After their marriage, Jing'er and Afu lived a peaceful and happy life, but Ning'er and Axi became enemies.

Ah-Xi also revealed his true colors. He not only frequented brothels and gambled, but also had a penchant for alcoholism and violence.

Ning'er is, after all, a woman. No matter how shrewd she is with her words, she definitely can't beat Ah Xi, a grown man, when it comes to a real fight.

She went to Li Yunshu again to cry and beg her to make the decision to divorce, but Li Yunshu was no longer willing to see her.

When they finally met, Li Yunshu didn't care about the divorce. She only advised her to be more gentle, to follow her husband wherever he went, and to have a child.

Ning'er thus harbored resentment towards Li Yunshu.

After being tortured for years, she could no longer bear that life worse than death and tried to poison Ah-Xi to kill him, but Ah-Xi discovered her plan and she was killed instead...

Therefore, Ning'er only sought revenge after her death.

Her wishes were exceptionally simple, consisting of only two.

One was to take revenge on Li Yunshu, Jing'er, and Axi;

Secondly, she could marry a powerful and influential man and slap them in the face.

……

At this moment, Jing'er is criticizing Qi Ning.

Jing'er was half a year older than the original owner of this body, and she had often lectured and scolded her in the name of her older sister.

"If you want to serve the young mistress for the rest of your life, then get married and come back to serve her. If you don't get married, do you want to stay and become the young master's concubine?"

Li Yunshu looked at Qi Ning's charming face and became wary.

"Jing'er, stop spouting nonsense!"

Qi Ning retorted, then quickly explained to Li Yunshu, "Young Madam, I absolutely did not mean that, you must believe me!"

In fact, in the original story, the original owner was loyal to Li Yunshu. The time when Jing'er saw her laughing and joking with Xu Yanzong, it was only because he asked about the young master that she smiled and answered a few words. As a result, she was suspected by Jing'er and suspected by Li Yunshu, which was really a bit unfair.

The original owner did look down on Ah Xi and was proud, but she had no intention of competing with Li Yunshu for a man.

In other words, even if she seduced any other male master in the mansion, she could not possibly seduce Xu Yanzong.

"Since you don't mean it that way, why don't you agree to the eldest young mistress's arranged marriage?" Jing'er questioned again.

"So, you're saying that you'll marry whoever the young mistress wants you to marry?" Qi Ning retorted.

"Of course!" Jing'er answered without hesitation. "The eldest young mistress is arranging marriages for us, so she will definitely choose the most suitable candidates for us. How could she possibly harm us?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Ning slowly revealed a guilty expression on his face.

She changed the subject: "What Sister Jing'er said makes sense too."

Just as Jing'er was confused, Qi Ning said again, "Young Madam, it's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that I want to marry Afu, and I'm afraid you will betroth me to Axi."

Upon hearing this, everyone present except Xu Yanzong changed their expressions.

Afu looked slightly surprised, Axi rolled her eyes, and Jing'er became a little anxious, as she also wanted to marry Afu.

Beforehand, Li Yunshu had hinted that she was already planning to betroth her to Afu, which pleased Jing'er and made her so eager to go.

At this moment, when Qi Ning said that she also wanted to marry Afu, Jing'er panicked a little and quickly looked at Li Yunshu.

Li Yunshu was a little surprised when she heard Qi Ning's words.

According to her original plan, she did intend to betroth Jing'er to Afu and Ning'er to Axi, but she hadn't had a chance to say it out loud yet.

In her opinion, Jing'er and Afu were both honest and upright people, while Ning'er and Axi were both quirky and worldly-wise, so this arrangement was just right.

But she never considered that two honest and upright people can get by even without feelings for each other, but two people with equally sharp personalities might be irreconcilable and end up hurting each other.

In the original story, Ning'er refused, but Li Yunshu took it as an excuse for her to want to become Xu Yanzong's concubine.

"You're in love with Afu?" Li Yunshu asked.

Qi Ning feigned shyness and said, "This servant thinks that Afu is a steady and reliable man, so I guess that means I like him."

She paused for a moment, then said, "Young Madam, you wouldn't be showing favoritism again and giving all the good things to Sister Jing'er, would you?"

Li Yunshu's face stiffened: "When have I ever shown favoritism? Haven't I always treated them equally? Besides, Afu and Axi are both very good. Since you want to marry Afu, then..."

"Young Madam!" Jing'er couldn't help but interrupt her.

Seeing Jing'er's appearance, Li Yunshu immediately guessed that Jing'er also wanted to marry Afu.

She felt conflicted for a moment.

Qi Ning glanced at Jing'er: "Sister Jing'er, what do you mean by this? You don't want to marry Afu too, do you? Didn't you just say that the eldest young mistress could marry you to anyone?"

Jing'er's face flushed red, and she stammered, "I...I mean, shouldn't we ask Afu's opinion on this matter too?"

She looked at Afu with hopeful eyes.

Li Yunshu responded, "Jing'er is right. Afu, what do you think?"

As she spoke, she gave Xu Yanzong, who was standing beside her, a wink, since Afu was his servant.

Xu Yanzong then put down his teacup and said slowly, "Afu, just say what you're thinking."

Ah Fu was indeed an extremely honest and kind person, and he felt a little embarrassed at that moment.

Qi Ning looked at him, her voice plaintive, "Brother Afu, don't you want to marry me?"
