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

Xu Yanqing, dressed in a white robe, walked into the hall.

Qi Ning sized up Xu Yanqing.

He was in bed the first two times they met, and this was the first time Qi Ning had seen him stand up.

Unexpectedly, although he was sickly and thin, he was actually very tall and had a very upright posture.

After Xu Yanqing entered the hall, he bowed to the old lady sitting at the head of the table.

"Grandmother, your grandson has come to pay his respects."

"Oh, my dear grandson, what brings you here today?"

The old lady quickly had the nanny beside her help her up, and she went up to pull Xu Yanqing: "Don't bother with the formalities, come, sit down next to your grandmother."

Although the Xu family has many descendants, no one is immune to favoritism. It can be said that among all the Xu family members, the old lady's most beloved grandson is Xu Yanqing.

The old lady originally had three sons, and her favorite was her second son.

Later, the second master died young, and Xu Yanqing was his only son. Naturally, the old lady loved him because of him.

In addition, Xu Yanqing had been in poor health since childhood, so the old lady favored him even more.

"Yes."

Xu Yanqing responded.

He glanced discreetly at Qi Ning, who was standing behind Li Yunshu, and then sat down with the old lady.

"It's not a holiday today, why did you decide to come out?"

The old lady held Xu Yanqing's hand and asked.

“Grandson has not seen his grandmother for a long time, so I have come to pay my respects,” he replied.

The old lady was very touched and said with great affection, "Oh, it's enough that you have such filial piety. Grandma also hopes to see you often, but everything should be based on your health. You should rest and recuperate. If you miss Grandma, Grandma can come to see you."

As she spoke, the old lady inquired about Xu Yanqing's health, and the second wife and others also greeted him.

Xu Yanqing patiently responded to each question.

After talking for a while, Xu Yanqing suddenly said to the old lady, "Grandmother, actually, besides paying my respects to you, there is another matter I have to discuss with you today."

"Oh, what is it?" the old lady asked curiously.

Xu Yanqing looked at Li Yunshu.

"I want to ask my sister-in-law for someone."

Li Yunshu was holding her child when she heard this and was stunned. She had no idea that Xu Yanqing's visit today was related to her.

"Asking for someone? Who does Second Brother want to ask for?" she asked.

The others also looked surprised. Xu Yanqing's words made it seem as if he had taken a fancy to one of Li Yunshu's maids.

But he rarely goes out, so how could he possibly be interested in the people around Li Yunshu?

The old lady pulled Xu Yanqing along: "Yes, who do you want to marry?"

This is quite a strange thing. Because of his poor health, Xu Yanqing is unwilling to marry or take a concubine, and he doesn't even have a maidservant. It seems that he has no interest in matters of men and women.

The old lady and the second wife worried about him a lot, but he was unwilling, and they couldn't force him.

Now that Xu Yanqing is saying this, has he suddenly had a breakthrough?

Xu Yanqing replied, "I want to ask my sister-in-law for Ning'er, who is by your side."

Everyone was shocked by these words.

Xu Yanqing actually asked Li Yunshu for a maid.

Ning'er and Jing'er were Li Yunshu's maids who accompanied her in her dowry. They often worked by her side, and the masters in the mansion were also familiar with them.

Li Yunshu and Jing'er reacted much more strongly to these words than the others.

Jing'er stared wide-eyed in surprise at Qi Ning standing beside her.

Qi Ning buried her head in her arms, pretending to be an ostrich, and acted as if she knew nothing at all.

Although Li Yunshu's expression wasn't that obvious, the smile on her face was slightly stiff.

How could it be Ning'er?

Ning'er was always under her watchful eye, so she had no chance to get close to Xu Yanqing.

Moreover, Xu Yanqing rarely leaves the courtyard, making the possibility even smaller.

Li Yunshu's first thought was, could Xu Yanqing have mistaken her for someone else?

She asked with a smile, "Second brother has actually taken a liking to Ning'er? There must be some mistake, right?"

The second madam was also puzzled. She said, "Yanqing, you rarely leave the courtyard. How did you come to take a liking to Ning'er?"

“Yes, Yanqing, what happened? Tell your grandmother first,” the old lady said.

The others didn't speak, but they looked at him, waiting for his response.

Li Yanqing looked slightly embarrassed.

“Grandmother, you may not believe it, but I had a strange dream a few days ago.”

"What dream?" the old lady pressed.

“I dreamt of a celestial being who said that my incurable illness was not entirely hopeless. If I could marry Ning’er from the manor, there might be a chance of a cure.”

This explanation was Qi Ning's idea. Xu Yanqing was initially unwilling, but couldn't think of a better explanation, so he reluctantly agreed.

It took him immense courage to say those words.

"What? Is this true?"

When the old lady heard that there was still hope for a cure for Xu Yanqing's illness, she became anxious.

After all, many doctors had previously predicted that Xu Yanqing didn't have much time left.

Xu Yanqing lowered his eyes: "At first, I thought this dream was too strange and didn't really believe it, but I asked Aji and found out that there really is a maid named Ning'er in the mansion, so I became half-believing and half-doubting."

"After deliberating for a few days, I thought it was better to believe it was true than not, so I..."

At this point, he looked at Li Yunshu and said, "So, sister-in-law, I shouldn't have mistaken you for someone else. There's only one maid named Ning'er in the manor, right?"

Before Li Yunshu could speak, the old lady's maidservant chimed in, "That's right, this old servant is certain that there is only one maidservant named Ning'er in the mansion."

Upon hearing these words, the old lady's eyes instantly filled with tears: "This...this must be a manifestation of the Bodhisattva, otherwise how could such a strange and coincidental thing happen?"

The second wife was also excited after hearing this: "Yun Shu, did you hear that?"

Although it was indeed a strange thing, she was unwilling to miss any chance that might cure Xu Yanqing's incurable disease.

Anyway, it's not difficult. All they need is a maid. They had previously intended for Xu Yanqing to get married to bring good luck, and now, this is practically the same thing.

Li Yunshu gripped the handkerchief in her hand tightly, thinking to herself, "This is utter nonsense."

But looking at the old lady and the second wife's expressions, it was clear they believed it.

After all, these were words spoken by Xu Yanqing himself, and they were related to his treatment.

"Sister-in-law, what do you think?" Xu Yanqing asked again.

Li Yunshu chuckled twice before handing the child to the wet nurse.

She seemed a little embarrassed: "This... Grandmother, Second Aunt, Second Brother, it's not a big deal to ask for a maid, but unfortunately, Ning'er has already been betrothed to Afu, who serves the eldest young master, and they will be getting married next month."

The rest of the household naturally heard about this.

The old lady and the second wife also knew that it was just a maid and a servant getting married, so they didn't pay much attention to it and hadn't thought of it for a moment.
