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

Duan Yihuai disagreed with Qi Ning going to Ciyun Nunnery and wouldn't allow her to leave the courtyard, so she found the old woman guarding the nunnery and asked to see Lin Suwan.

However, the old woman guarding the house did not pass the message directly to Lin Suwan, but instead told Duan Yihuai first.

Upon hearing this, Duan Yihuai only instructed the old woman: "They must not meet, and there is no need to tell the eldest young mistress."

Qi Ning's request to see Lin Suwan could not possibly be anything good, and Duan Yihuai certainly would not agree.

Since that was the case, Qi Ning had no choice but to cause trouble in the courtyard to attract Lin Suwan's attention.

She smashed all those vases and teacups.

Lin Suwan naturally heard the noise.

When Duan Yihuai went over, Lin Suwan asked him, "What has Ning'er been doing in the yard lately? I heard she broke a lot of vases and teacups. I didn't dare to go over to see, for fear of upsetting her."

Duan Yihuai rubbed his temples: "Ignore her, she's just going crazy."

Lin Suwan was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Is there anything else you can't tell me?"

In the years they had relied on each other for survival, Duan Yihuai had indeed kept almost nothing from Lin Suwan except for initially concealing his feelings for her.

Duan Yihuai quickly denied it: "What are you thinking? Of course not."

There's nothing really that can't be said, it's just that it involves that child.

Duan Yihuai didn't want Lin Suwan to overthink things, so he told her anyway.

“She wanted to go to Ciyun Nunnery to pray for the child. I was afraid she would play tricks, so I didn’t agree. Then she started causing trouble.”

"I see."

Lin Suwan nodded slightly.

"Why don't we just let her go? Otherwise, there will be no peace in this mansion. What do you think?"

"But……"

Duan Yihuai had reservations.

If Zizhu's maid were still alive, she could keep an eye on Qi Ning secretly.

But now Zizhu has been exposed and sold off, and Zixin is no longer of his use.

As for the other servants he arranged, Qi Ning would definitely be wary and wouldn't trust them.

Duan Yihuai was not comfortable letting her leave the manor; for some reason, he felt inexplicably uneasy.

"But what?"

Lin Suwan added, "It's normal for her to want to go to Ciyun Nunnery. We should indeed pray for that child. I've been reciting scriptures for him in the Buddhist hall for several days."

Since Lin Suwan had said so, Duan Yihuai naturally relented.

However, he still said, "Then I'll go with her myself. I need to keep an eye on her, otherwise I won't feel at ease."

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

If she finds an opportunity to reveal his affair with Lin Suwan, it will be quite troublesome to resolve.

Upon hearing this, Lin Suwan gripped the handkerchief in her hand tightly.

She didn't show any unusual expression on her face, only smiling faintly and saying, "That's fine too."

Duan Yihuai noticed her subtle change and took her hand.

"Once things calm down, I'll figure out how to deal with her. I won't let her stay in the manor any longer."

The next day.

Duan Yihuai then ordered a carriage to be arranged so that he could personally accompany Qi Ning to Ciyun Nunnery.

In addition, Duan Yihuai forbade Qi Ning from taking Zixin with her, lest the mistress and servant team up and do something.

Qi Ning achieved his goal; as long as he could go to Ciyun Nunnery, he had no objections to anything else.

Upon arriving at Ciyun Nunnery, Duan Yihuai followed Qi Ning the entire time, keeping a close eye on her, and indeed did not notice anything unusual.

It seems she really just went to pray for the child and lit an everlasting lamp for him.

Seeing Qi Ning praying devoutly with her eyes closed, Duan Yihuai wondered if he was being too suspicious. Qi Ning was genuinely praying for the unborn child, but he was being paranoid.

After completing the prayer, Qi Ning did not linger at Ciyun Nunnery. She quietly followed Duan Yihuai into the carriage and went home.

Duan Yihuai breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But as soon as the carriage returned to the capital and drove onto the main street, Qi Ning suddenly said, "Stop the carriage."

Duan Yihuai's gaze swept over: "What's wrong?"

Qi Ning said without changing her expression, "I want to go to the Ni Chang Pavilion to buy a few simple clothes."

Duan Yihuai frowned: "The clothes for both masters and servants in the house are all made by your sister-in-law. If you want new clothes, just ask your sister-in-law to invite a tailor to the mansion."

"I don't want Lin Suwan to make arrangements for me!" Qi Ning said with a look of disgust.

During this period, Duan Yihuai had been quite tolerant of Qi Ning because of his guilt.

But she kept pushing her luck and even called Lin Suwan by her first name, which displeased Duan Yihuai.

“Speak with more respect. Your sister-in-law is an elder; how can you address her by her first name?”

"Really? A respectable elder would do something like that? Do you want me to tell everyone about your affair in the street?"

Duan Yihuai took a deep breath: "Okay, let's not talk about this."

"You can buy clothes if you want, but don't try anything funny."

"Isn't it you who's watching me? If I wanted to say something, I would have said it in front of so many people at Ciyun Temple just now. I would have been ashamed of myself."

Duan Yihuai thought about it and realized that what Qi Ning said wasn't entirely unreasonable.

"OK then."

He agreed, and led Qi Ning off the carriage to the Ni Chang Pavilion.

As soon as they entered, the shopkeeper greeted them and, after a few pleasantries, led them upstairs to the second floor.

The shopkeeper took out several sets of ready-made clothes to show Qi Ning.

"Madam, this is the latest garment made by our Ni Chang Pavilion. The pattern is simple and elegant. It was made to your size. Please take a look."

Qi Ning reached out and touched the embroidery pattern: "Can I try it on?"

"Of course, of course," the shopkeeper nodded hurriedly. "This way, madam."

Qi Ning got up and followed the shopkeeper, but Duan Yihuai followed as well.

"Why are you following me? You're watching me try on clothes?" Qi Ning asked, turning her head.

It was indeed inappropriate for Duan Yihuai, a man, to follow a woman into trying on clothes, even if she was his wife in name only.

At this moment, he regretted not having Zixin come along, nor bringing the two maids.

He thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll wait for you outside. Hurry up."

Qi Ning ignored him, walked straight in, and closed the door behind her.

Duan Yihuai stood at the door without moving.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper was a little puzzled and said, "Young Master Duan, would you like to go over there and have a cup of tea while you wait?"

"No need, I'll wait here."

Duan Yihuai refused outright.

"Hehe... Young Master Duan and his wife have such a good relationship."

Business people naturally wouldn't let the atmosphere become awkward, so the shopkeeper kept talking to Duan Yihuai.

Duan Yihuai responded with a few disjointed words.

After Qi Ning went inside, she looked around the fitting room, which was filled with all kinds of clothes.

She took off her dress and put on a men's robe.

Qi Ning dressed simply today, wearing only a white jade hairpin. She then removed the hairpin and restyled her hair in a man's bun.

With a slight alteration, she transformed from a young lady into a handsome young man in the blink of an eye.

Having done all this, Qi Ning listened to the sounds outside. Duan Yihuai was still talking to the shopkeeper.

Without delay, Qi Ning immediately went to the window, opened it, looked down, and then jumped down.
