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

After drinking the medicine and eating some porridge, Qi Ning finally had the strength to examine the two maids in front of her.

The original owner had two maids who accompanied her in her dowry. One was named Zixin, and the other was named Zizhu.

Zi Xin was given to her by her biological mother when she was alive, and she was extremely loyal to her.

Zizhu was actually placed by Lu Yunxiu, the original owner's stepmother, and was not very loyal to her.

When the original owner first married into the Duan family, she didn't know Duan Yihuai's true colors. She was just a naive and innocent girl who told him everything.

Duan Yihuai knew these inside stories, which is why he later bribed Zizhu.

Zi Xin, who was not easily bribed, was sold off far away by Duan Yihuai under some pretext. No one knows where she was sold to, but it certainly wasn't a good place.

After all, in the original story, although the original owner's family did not care about her, they did not only listen to Duan Yihuai's side of the story regarding her situation.

To increase credibility, Duan Yihuai naturally bribed Zizhu, who was by the original owner's side, to cooperate with his story.

After being placed under house arrest, the original owner tried to ask her family for help. With Zixin gone, she only had Zizhu left to rely on, but she didn't know that Zizhu had a problem. Instead of sending her letter for help, she sent it to Duan Yihuai.

For example, yesterday.

Yesterday, after the original owner entered Lin Suwan's courtyard, she found that there were few servants and sensed that something was wrong. So she had two maids stand guard outside while she went in alone to catch them in the act of adultery.

However, since they were making such a fuss, Zixin and Zizhu were outside and heard some of the noise.

The next day, when Lu Yunxiu came to visit, it was Zizhu who was there to support Duan Yihuai's story.

This purple bamboo must not be kept.

Qi Ning put down her chopsticks and looked at the two of them, asking, "Did you know that I miscarried yesterday in the East Courtyard?"

Upon hearing this, Zizhu's eyes darted around for a moment before she quickly replied, "Miss, yesterday Zixin and I were guarding outside when we heard a commotion inside. We rushed in and found you lying unconscious on the ground."

"Didn't you hear what they were arguing about inside?"

"I didn't hear clearly. The second young master said that the young lady's miscarriage was an accident."

Zi Xin hesitated. She had vaguely heard her young mistress's insults yesterday, but she hadn't heard them clearly and was unsure whether she should speak up.

Qi Ning glanced at Zi Xin, then asked Zi Zhu, "You believed him when he said it was an accident?"

"This……"

Zizhu stammered, "What the Second Young Master said is probably not wrong."

Qi Ning chuckled and asked again, "So when your mother came to ask you today, you told her it was an accident?"

For some reason, Zizhu felt that Qi Ning was much stricter than usual, and his questions were somewhat aggressive. Could it be because of the miscarriage?

Remembering Duan Yihuai's instructions, she forced herself to nod and said, "Miss, you just had a miscarriage, so you should take good care of yourself first."

Upon hearing Qi Ning's words, Zi Xin sensed something was amiss. She grabbed Qi Ning's hand and asked, "Miss, do you mean there's another reason for your miscarriage?"

In the original story, the original owner did not hide the truth from her two maids who accompanied her in her dowry.

Qi Ning naturally didn't hide anything and spoke directly.

“That’s right. I discovered the second young master and the eldest young mistress having an affair inside yesterday. It was the second young master who pushed me down, which caused my miscarriage.”

"what?"

Zi Xin never expected that her unspoken guess would actually be true.

How could the second young master and the eldest young mistress...?

“Miss, so that’s true. I told Zizhu yesterday that I seemed to hear the words you were saying, but Zizhu told me that I must have misheard.”

Qi Ning looked at Zi Zhu with a half-smile and said, "Zi Zhu, you actually know the truth, don't you? Why are you still helping the Second Young Master and not telling Mother the truth?"

Zizhu's heart skipped a beat.

"This... young lady, how could I dare to speak of such a thing?"

"You wouldn't dare to talk about something like this, but you dare to tell Mother that my miscarriage was an accident. You weren't bribed by Duan Yihuai, were you?"

Seeing Qi Ning's cold gaze, Zi Zhu knelt down with a thud: "Miss, I'm innocent!"

Zixin, standing to the side, recalled Zizhu's reactions yesterday, and another matter.

She said angrily, "Zizhu, no wonder you had a sum of money of dubious origin in your hands. When I found out, you were trying to hide it. It seems that was what the second young master bribed you with. You actually betrayed the young lady for a little bit of money!"

"Zixin, stop spouting nonsense!" Zizhu tried to argue.

"Then tell me, what's the deal with that sum of money?"

Qi Ning gave Zi Xin a satisfied look.

She sneered, "Zizhu, you have disappointed me greatly. You know perfectly well that I discovered Duan Yihuai and Lin Suwan's affair and that I miscarried because of Duan Yihuai, yet you still covered for them in front of Mother."

"Miss, this servant..."

Just as Zizhu was wondering how to defend herself, Duan Yihuai happened to return from Lin Suwan's courtyard.

He heard Qi Ning say these words as soon as he came in.

Duan Yihuai immediately lifted the curtain and walked in: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Qi Ning looked up at him and said, "Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you know perfectly well."

Duan Yihuai stepped forward and grabbed Qi Ning's arm: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Qi Ning shook off his hand: "You bribed the maidservant beside me, I'm going to sell her off!"

"girl!"

Upon hearing that she was to be sold off, Zizhu panicked.

She exclaimed in alarm, "Miss, what I said to Madam was all at the second young master's behest. I dared not disobey!"

"So, you're admitting it?"

"I……"

Duan Yihuai stood aside, frowning, and said, "Qi Ning, stop being unreasonable."

"How am I being unreasonable? I just want to sell my maid, why are you protecting her like this?"

Duan Yihuai was momentarily speechless.

He was just thinking that keeping Zizhu, that maid, might be useful later.

But now that Qi Ning has just miscarried, Duan Yihuai doesn't want her to cause any bigger trouble.

After a moment's hesitation, he could only say, "Your maid is none of your business."

"Miss, I'm innocent..."

Zizhu was still trying to beg Qi Ning for mercy.

Seeing that Qi Ning remained unmoved, she hurriedly turned to Duan Yihuai for help.

She grabbed the hem of Duan Yihuai's robe: "Second Young Master, please save this servant."

Duan Yihuai kicked her away.

Fearing that Zizhu might say something she shouldn't, he summoned his men and ordered them to gag Zizhu and sell her to a more distant place.

If Qi Ning hadn't taken the initiative to expose and betray Zi Zhu, Zi Xin would be the one being betrayed now.

After Duan Yihuai finished explaining, he turned to look at Qi Ning.

At a time like this, he still had the nerve to feign concern and ask, "Now you only have one personal maid by your side. Would you like me to arrange another one to serve you?"
