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

"A sound? There's nothing there."

Aji replied, somewhat confused.

Xu Yanqing was never used to having someone keep watch over him at night, so Aji lived in the small side room next door.

"So, is our yard closed at night?"

“Of course, it’s turned off every night,” Aji replied.

If the door was closed, how did that woman get in last night?

Even if she can climb through a window, can she really climb over a wall?

Aji asked Xu Yanqing, "Young Master, why are you asking this?"

Xu Yanqing said calmly, "I had a dream last night that a thief broke into our yard."

"Impossible, young master, don't worry," Aji laughed. "The walls of our courtyard are high enough that ordinary thieves can't get in."

Xu Yanqing responded.

Aji is right. How could a weak woman appear and disappear without a trace, unless... unless she's not human...

Could it be that he himself is the one who actually suffers from sleepwalking?

Xu Yanqing began to doubt himself.

After a moment, he asked again, "Has there been any happy occasions in the household recently?"

"What happy event?" Aji didn't react for a moment.

Xu Yanqing said casually, "A few days ago, I seemed to hear some noisy noises."

"Oh." Aji understood. "A few days ago, the eldest son and his wife's maid and servant got married. They prepared a few tables of food and drink for the servants, which must have disturbed the young master."

At this point, he remembered something else: "Oh, there's another one next month. Since it's disturbing you, I'll talk to the steward and ask them to change the venue to a place further away from Qingzhu Courtyard."

As Aji spoke, he served food to Xu Yanqing.

"Will there be more next month?" Xu Yanqing asked, looking down at the food in his bowl.

"Exactly. It's quite a coincidence that the two servants by the young master's side and the two maids by the young mistress's side are a perfect match."

"What's your name?" Xu Yanqing asked again.

Aji replied, "You probably don't know them. The couple who got married a few days ago are called Axi and Jing'er, and the couple who will get married next month are called Afu and Ning'er."

Only when Xu Yanqing heard the name "Ning'er" did he realize that everything that happened last night was not a dream.

This person really exists.

However, Aji was a little puzzled: "Young Master, why are you interested in these things?"

"Just asking, but I remember that for this kind of thing, you should give a gift or add a dowry?"

Aji didn't think much of it and said, "Then you don't need to worry, the Second Madam has arranged everything."

Seeing that Xu Yanqing was interested, Aji couldn't help but say a few more words.

"There's an interesting story behind this. On the night of Ah Xi and Jing'er's wedding, the two of them started making a scene in their bridal chamber. I heard that Jing'er cried terribly, but I don't know what happened."

Xu Yanqing raised his head upon hearing this.

Seeing that Xu Yanqing was listening, Aji continued, "It is said that it was because Jing'er looked down on Axi and wanted to marry Afu, but Axi said that she was not a virtuous woman or something."

After a pause, Aji added, "However, you can't completely believe what Axi says. He always greets his master with a smile and is extremely attentive. But in private, he calls himself 'Master Xi' and acts arrogantly and domineeringly towards other servants. He's a real smiling tiger. Fortunately, I'm from the second young master's courtyard, so he can't control the servants."

"Besides that, Ah Xi also frequented brothels every now and then, was a regular at casinos, and loved to drink. When he was drunk, he would beat and kick his servants who were of lower status."

Aji shook his head as he finished speaking, a hint of regret on his face.

"In short, that girl Jing'er is going to suffer if she marries him."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yanqing unconsciously frowned.

"Where is Afu?"

“I don’t know Ah Fu very well, but I’ve heard he’s a pretty honest person,” Ah Ji said. “However, since they work for the young master, they come into contact with all sorts of fair-weather friends in the business world, so they’re probably no exception. Some of them are just too arrogant, and others are even better at pretending.”

After saying that, Aji smiled sheepishly: "This is just my guess. I've said too much. Please just take it as a joke to amuse yourself."

Xu Yanqing hummed in agreement and ended the conversation without saying anything more.

He looked down at the plain white porridge and side dishes in front of him, but didn't touch his chopsticks, still thinking about what Qi Ning had said last night.

That night, Qi Ning came to Qingzhu Courtyard again.

Unlike the quiet of last night, tonight, as soon as Qi Ning entered the courtyard, she heard a suppressed and painful sound coming from the direction of Xu Yanqing's bedroom.

The noise wasn't loud enough for others to hear, but Qi Ning had excellent hearing and heard it very clearly.

She immediately rushed towards Xu Yanqing's bedroom, where the lights were still on.

Qi Ning climbed through the window and saw Xu Yanqing leaning against the bed, one hand covering his lips with a handkerchief, which was stained red with blood.

"Second Young Master!"

Upon hearing the sound, Xu Yanqing struggled to look up in Qi Ning's direction.

He was feeling very dizzy and his vision was blurry, but he could still vaguely make out Qi Ning's figure.

Xu Yanqing put down the handkerchief covering his lips, and his thin lips, stained with blood, moved as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

Seeing that he was struggling to catch his breath and looked like he was about to die, Qi Ning looked grave and quickly went over to help him lie down.

As soon as he lay down, Xu Yanqing fainted temporarily.

Upon seeing this, Qi Ning immediately pressed several acupoints on Xu Yanqing's body, took out the silver needles he carried with him, ripped open the inner garment on his chest, and inserted several silver needles into his chest.

Then, another small pill was put into his mouth.

It took Xu Yanqing quite a while to wake up again.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw Qi Ning staring at him with concern.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him wake up, and then put away the silver needles stuck in his chest.

Xu Yanqing looked down at the silver needles, a puzzled expression on his face.

"Second Young Master, are you feeling better?"

Qi Ning put away the silver needles and asked.

Xu Yanqing reached out and straightened his slightly open inner garment, then propped himself up to sit up.

He looked at Qi Ning, his voice weak: "Why are you here again?"

"Didn't the Second Young Master say last night that he needed to consider that matter? I came tonight to see if he had made up his mind." Qi Ning replied matter-of-factly.

"How did you get in?"

Qi Ning paused for a moment, then said, "Climb the wall and climb the window."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yanqing's expression clearly showed his disapproval.

Climbing through the window is one thing, but how did she even climb over such a high wall? Wasn't she afraid of falling?

But Qi Ning misunderstood his meaning: "What's with that expression, Second Young Master? Don't you want me to come?"

She scoffed, "If I hadn't arrived in time tonight, the second young master might have almost died."

Xu Yanqing felt somewhat helpless.

Because of his illness, the old lady and the second wife were very reluctant to hear others say the word "death".

The woman in front of him spoke without restraint, as if she said whatever came to mind without any regard for the consequences.

But Xu Yanqing admitted that what she said was true.

He had fainted earlier and didn't see Qi Ning applying acupuncture and acupressure to him, but when he woke up, he saw her putting away the silver needles.

He recalled what Qi Ning had said last night: that she could cure his chronic illness.

Xu Yanqing never actually believed it.

Only now did he begin to have a slight doubt.

"You really know medicine?"
