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

Soon, Duan Yiyuan opened the door and came out.

He looked at Aunt Luo outside the door: "What did you say?"

Aunt Luo said anxiously, "Young master, when I got up this morning, I was about to open the door when I found that the door bolt had been opened for a long time. The door was only ajar, as if someone had opened the door and gone out."

"Then, I saw that the door to the east wing was also open. I pushed the door open and went in, but I couldn't see A-Ning. Her bed was made clean and tidy, with only a letter and a jade pendant on it. It seemed that she had left!"

As she spoke, Aunt Luo handed the letter and jade pendant she was holding to Duan Yiyuan.

"Sir, look."

Duan Yiyuan took the letter and jade pendant, and unfolded the letter.

The letter was written in neat handwriting:

"Young Master Duan, thank you for taking me in these past few days. However, I have not yet regained my memory, and if I stay any longer, I may cause you more trouble. Therefore, I am leaving without saying goodbye. I hope you will not take offense."

I don't have anything valuable on me, except for this jade pendant, which should be worth some money. I'll leave it as payment for the young master's hospitality.

Until we meet again.

After reading the letter, Duan Yiyuan frowned.

He never expected that she would leave like this, without any warning or even a goodbye.

Could it be that she left suddenly because of what happened in the study yesterday?

It would have been fine if she had left, but she was foolish enough to leave this jade pendant behind, which was the only valuable thing she had.

It goes without saying how dangerous it would be for a young woman, who had not yet regained her memory and was penniless, to go out alone like this.

"Young master, what did the letter say?" Aunt Luo asked from the side.

Duan Yiyuan held the jade pendant in his hand, looking at the Ning character carved on it: "I must have misunderstood her yesterday and said a few words to her, which is why she suddenly left."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Luo also recalled the scene in the study yesterday.

"That girl, Aning, is really something. She just left like that. It's so dangerous for a young woman to be out there all alone."

Duan Yiyuan raised his eyes: "Aunt Luo, you and Uncle Luo should go and look for her, and bring her back."

Aunt Luo was a little worried about Qi Ning, but upon hearing Duan Yiyuan's instructions, she quickly agreed: "Okay, okay, let's go look for her right away."

After saying that, Aunt Luo and Uncle Luo went out together to look for someone.

While Uncle Luo and Aunt Luo were searching for her everywhere, Qi Ning was in the opera house, eating melon seeds, drinking tea, and listening to the opera. They would never have imagined that Qi Ning would be in such a place, so of course they couldn't find her.

Qi Ning still had silver notes he brought from the capital, so he wasn't truly penniless.

"Host, Duan Yiyuan knows you left and has Uncle Luo and Aunt Luo looking for you everywhere," the system reminded you.

Where is Duan Yiyuan?

"Duan Yiyuan stayed home waiting for news and didn't come out to look for them."

"Oh, then we'll have to trouble Uncle Luo and Aunt Luo. We'll wait for Duan Yiyuan to come out and look for us himself."

Qi Ning didn't intend to show herself immediately. If she were found so easily, especially by Uncle Luo and Aunt Luo, the effect would be greatly diminished, and her performance would be in vain.

The system, always eager for drama, remarked: "What if Duan Yiyuan doesn't come out to find him himself?"

"Then of course we won't go back."

Qi Ning wasn't worried at all.

If Duan Yiyuan doesn't come out to look for her, Qi Ning will find another way to reappear in front of him; in any case, she will never go back on her own initiative.

However, Qi Ning remained confident in his plan.

She already knew Duan Yiyuan's personality very well. She left without saying goodbye because of the misunderstanding in the study yesterday, leaving behind that jade pendant. Duan Yiyuan would definitely feel guilty.

“I bet Duan Yiyuan will come looking for me. Although he hasn’t come in person yet, I don’t believe he can rest easy at home.”

"Host, you were right."

Although Duan Yiyuan did not go to find Qi Ning in person, he still felt uneasy. He waited at home for news from Uncle Luo and Aunt Luo, and he could hardly concentrate on reading the book in his hand.

He waited for most of the day before Uncle Luo and Aunt Luo finally returned.

Upon hearing the noise at the door, Duan Yiyuan immediately put down the book in his hand and walked out of the study.

But there were only Uncle Luo and Aunt Luo in the courtyard; Qi Ning was nowhere to be seen.

"Where are they?" he asked.

"Young master, we haven't found her. We've searched the entire area, but we can't find any trace of Aning," Aunt Luo replied.

Duan Yiyuan's eyes darkened.

It seems she really wanted to leave, so she wasn't nearby, probably because she didn't want them to find her.

Qingzhou City is a large city, and finding someone here is not so easy.

It's alright now that it's daytime, but what will she do when it gets dark? Where will she go? If she encounters bad people, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Young master, shall we continue the search?" Uncle Luo asked.

Duan Yiyuan pondered for a moment and then instructed, "Aunt Luo, stay at home. Uncle Luo and I will go out to look for her. She shouldn't be nearby. We'll drive the carriage around the city and search for her."

Duan Yiyuan was certain that Qi Ning should still be in Qingzhou City. After all, she was penniless and had no identity or travel permit, so she wouldn't leave the city easily.

"Host, Duan Yiyuan has indeed come out to find you in person!" the system suddenly said.

Qi Ning remained completely calm: "Why are you making such a fuss? I understand."

Duan Yiyuan had Uncle Luo drive the carriage around the city's streets, big and small, searching one by one. His gaze lingered among the crowds, but he still couldn't spot that familiar figure.

Seeing that it was getting late and it was almost dark, but Qi Ning still hadn't been found, Duan Yiyuan's eyes showed even more worry.

If he hadn't questioned her in the study yesterday and made her feel wronged, she wouldn't have left alone. How could he be at ease if something happened to her?

Duan Yiyuan glanced at the sky and was about to instruct Uncle Luo to report to the authorities when, just as Uncle Luo was driving the carriage past the riverbank, his gaze inadvertently fell upon a figure sitting by the river.

She sat by the river, hugging her knees, her body curled up into a small ball, her back to the street.

"parking!"

Uncle Luo let out a sigh and stopped the carriage.

Duan Yiyuan got off the carriage, his face grave, and strode toward the riverbank, grabbing Qi Ning's arm.

"What are you doing here?"

Qi Ning seemed startled. Her body trembled, and she quickly stood up and turned around. When she saw Duan Yiyuan, her eyes widened in surprise.

"Young Master Duan, what brings you here?"

Duan Yiyuan gripped her arm tightly: "I asked you what you were doing by the river. Were you trying to commit suicide?"

Qi Ning muttered, "Who wants to commit suicide? I'm just sitting here for a while."

Duan Yiyuan was taken aback: "What are you doing sitting by the river? Do you know how dangerous it is?"

Qi Ning bit her lip, broke free from Duan Yiyuan's grip on her arm, and took a small step back.

“Young Master Duan, you are overthinking it. I really don’t want to jump into the river. I just haven’t decided where to go yet, so I’m sitting here and thinking about it.”

Duan Yiyuan was at a loss for words after hearing her words.

He paused for a moment, then asked, "Have you thought it through?"

"No, no."

"It's almost dark, and you still haven't decided whether you plan to sit here all night?"

"I……"

Qi Ning snorted: "So what? This doesn't seem to have anything to do with Young Master Duan, does it?"
