Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge
Chapter 38 The Cannon Fodder Maid's Counterattack to Become the Mistress 3
Xu Yanqing is still alive in the mission world because Zhou Xun'an's soul fragments reside in his body.
Qi Ning was fairly satisfied with this candidate. She combined her thoughts with those of the other missions and quickly came up with a plan.
The system warned, "Host, Xu Yanqing's body is too weak. If things continue as they are, he probably won't live for more than a few months. You'd better act soon."
Qi Ning nodded: "I know what I'm doing."
A few months is enough time; she won't be at ease until she sees Jing'er and Axi get married smoothly next month.
The next day, Li Yunshu arranged for several experienced old women to quickly prepare for Jing'er and Axi's wedding.
A month later, their wedding took place as scheduled.
Li Yunshu gave Jing'er a considerable dowry, and the other ladies in the mansion also sent gifts to add to her dowry, showing the dignity of a head maid.
On her wedding day, Jing'er waited for her husband in an empty little house outside the Xu family home.
Qi Ning busied himself with errands, personally escorting Jing'er to the bridal sedan chair.
On their wedding night, Ah Xi was given a lot of wine by the other servants of the Xu family. He entered the bridal chamber drunk and lifted Jing'er's veil.
Jing'er frowned subconsciously when she smelled the strong aroma of alcohol.
Little did Ah-Xi know that this seemingly insignificant little expression was caught on camera.
His smiling face instantly changed: "Why are you frowning? What's with that long face?"
"What could I possibly mean? Go wash up." Jing'er turned to the side, looking somewhat disgusted.
Ah Xi instantly recalled the day of the arranged marriage, and also remembered what Qi Ning had said: Jing'er likes A Fu, and she originally wanted to marry A Fu, she doesn't want to marry him.
Ah Xi usually puts on a respectable act in front of outsiders, but now, his hidden temper is uncontrollably exposed.
He grabbed Jing'er's arm and said, "What's wrong? Are you heartbroken because you didn't marry Afu, or do you not want to marry me? Are you here mourning?"
"What did you say..."
"Let me tell you, now that we're married, you're my woman. Don't let me find out you're thinking about other men!"
Ah Xi was always all smiles and sweet talk in front of Jing'er; Jing'er had never seen him like this before.
She was initially startled, but after realizing what was happening, she retorted sharply.
Ah-Xi got drunk and was bothered by Jing-Er's feelings for Ah-Fu, so he couldn't control his temper at all.
The bridal chamber erupted in chaos, filled with insults and heart-wrenching cries...
"Host, Jing'er and A-Xi are fighting," the system told Qi Ning.
Qi Ning responded, which was within her expectations.
The next day, Jing'er went to Li Yunshu to cry and complain.
After listening to her words, Li Yunshu comforted her, saying that it was probably because Axi was jealous of Afu, and told Jing'er to let go of Afu and live a good life with Axi.
Jing'er believed Li Yunshu's explanation and thought it really was her fault, so she planned to reconcile with Axi.
It's a pity they're definitely not going to have a good life.
Jing'er will soon discover Ah Xi's true colors: frequenting brothels, gambling, drinking, and beating people. His bad temper is just the least significant of his many flaws.
This matter is temporarily over. Qi Ning doesn't need to do anything more, but neither of them will have an easy time.
Let them fight like dogs for a while, then Qi Ning will turn around and deal with them.
Right now, Qi Ning's most important task is to get closer to Xu Yanqing.
She must succeed in getting Xu Yanqing to agree to marry her before she and Afu can get married.
That night, around midnight, a dark figure sneaked into the Green Bamboo Courtyard where Xu Yanqing lived.
The shadowy figure crept furtively toward Xu Yanqing's bedroom.
"Host, is this how you approached Xu Yanqing?"
The system was somewhat speechless.
It complained, "You look like a sneaky little thief now."
Qi Ning chuckled: "Have you ever seen such a skilled petty thief?"
Xu Yanqing was physically weak, and apart from visiting the old lady during holidays, he usually stayed in his own courtyard and never went out.
The old lady and the second wife also felt sorry for him, and would take the initiative to come to his courtyard whenever they wanted to see him.
If Qi Ning didn't get so close to him, how would she have had the chance to meet Xu Yanqing?
By the time he goes out again, Qi Ning will have already married Afu, and Xu Yanqing's own body won't be able to hold on until then.
Qi Ning ignored the system and observed the surroundings. Seeing that no one was around and there were no servants on night watch, she climbed through the window and entered Xu Yanqing's bedroom.
She crept up to Xu Yanqing's bedside in the dark and lifted the bed curtains.
By the dim moonlight, Qi Ning could only make out the outline of his face, a very thin and angular face.
Qi Ning glanced at it, then sat down on the edge of the bed, carefully took Xu Yanqing's hand out from under the covers, and placed it on his wrist to take his pulse.
She wanted to see just how bad Xu Yanqing's health really was.
hiss……
Xu Yanqing's weakness is due to congenital deficiency, and he is too weak to be nourished. We cannot directly give him strong medicine to restore his health.
In the original storyline, the Xu family wanted Xu Yanqing to get married to bring good luck, but no well-bred young ladies were willing to marry into the family and live a life of widowhood.
The only person who was willing and suitable was Xu Yanqing's older sister's husband's younger sister.
The girl came to the Xu family with her sister-in-law and met Xu Yanqing in person. She fell in love with him at first sight.
Finally, a suitable girl agreed, but Xu Yanqing disagreed, saying that he didn't want to hold her back because of his health.
Sure enough, he fell seriously ill that winter.
Seeing that he was on the verge of death, the old lady and the second wife thought they might as well try anything and asked the doctor to prescribe a strong medicine. After Xu Yanqing took it, he vomited blood and died that same day.
Qi Ning shook her head, withdrew her hand from taking his pulse, and grasped Xu Yanqing's wrist, wanting to put him back in the blanket.
Suddenly, Xu Yanqing abruptly pulled his hand back and sat up in bed.
"You...you...are you a human or a ghost?"
Xu Yanqing has a habit of staying up late to read, and basically goes to bed very late every day.
Tonight was no different. He had just fallen asleep not long ago. He hadn't been sleeping soundly to begin with, and due to his health condition, he had always been a light sleeper.
In his sleep, he only felt an itch on his wrist, as if something was crawling on it.
When he groggily opened his eyes, he saw a dark figure beside the bed.
For a moment, Xu Yanqing thought that the Black and White Impermanence had come to take him away...
Qi Ning was stunned for a moment. Hearing Xu Yanqing's panicked voice, she quickly said, "Second Young Master, don't be afraid, I'm not a ghost."
She quickly lit an oil lamp in the room, and the room became bright.
When Qi Ning turned around, she saw that Xu Yanqing's handsome face was deathly pale, with beads of cold sweat on his forehead and his chest heaving violently.
"Host, you almost scared Xu Yanqing to death just now. If he dies, you'll lose your target," the system teased.
Qi Ning: "..."
Xu Yanqing stared straight at Qi Ning, sizing her up as well.
Standing before me was a pretty woman with round, bright eyes, but with a hint of allure at the corners of her eyes.
Judging from her clothes and appearance, she looked like a maid in the mansion, but Xu Yanqing had never seen her before.
Most of the servants in Qingzhu Courtyard are young men and old women; there are hardly any maids. Where did this person come from?
"Who are you?" Xu Yanqing asked.
Qi Ning took two steps closer to the bed, but stopped when she saw that Xu Yanqing seemed somewhat resistant.
She stood in front of the bed and replied, "Second Young Master, I am Ning'er, the personal maid of the Eldest Young Mistress."
The eldest young mistress's maid?
Xu Yanqing frowned slightly upon hearing this.
He was in poor health and rarely left the courtyard. He had barely seen his sister-in-law, so how could he possibly remember the maidservant beside her?
"Why are you here?" he asked again.
