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

Qi Ning wasn't particularly surprised by this.

She knew all along that Duan Yiyuan wouldn't stay in the position of governor of Qingzhou forever; the term of office for a governor is usually three years, and he had already extended it by two years.

"Okay, let's go back then."

Duan Yiyuan reached out and pulled Qi Ning onto his lap, then kissed her on the forehead.

"Don't worry, now that you are my wife, even if you are recognized after returning to the capital, no one will dare to say anything."

Qi Ning frowned: "I'm not worried about anything else, but I feel that if the Qi family recognizes me when I go back, they might pester me."

As the saying goes, trouble is a troublesome little devil. If the Qi family finds out that she is not dead and has married Duan Yiyuan, who holds a high position, they will probably try to get close to her and benefit from her.

Duan Yiyuan thought so too, and nodded slightly: "Leave this matter to me."

Some time later, before they returned to the capital, Duan Yiyuan told Qi Ning before going to bed that night: "Some time ago, Qi Yuanshan made a mistake while handling his duties, which displeased His Majesty, and he was demoted to the position of magistrate of Xingping County."

"Really?" Qi Ning sat up abruptly from the bed.

“That’s right. Not only Qi Yuanshan went, but the entire Qi family went with him. If nothing unexpected happens, they will never return to the capital.”

"Xingping County." Qi Ning thought for a moment. "Xingping County is in the Northwest, right? A harsh and cold place. Did you do this?"

Duan Yiyuan did not deny it.

"Qi Yuanshan has been in the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites for too long. He has been incompetent and negligent. I only used a little trick, and he made a mistake. Fortunately, I found out about him. Otherwise, he might have caused a bigger disaster in the future."

"Then he should thank you."

Duan Yiyuan replied in a serious tone, "That's right."

The two looked at each other for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing together.

With their worries gone, they were ready to head back to Beijing.

On the day of their departure, the family boarded the carriage.

Qi Ning and her daughter Qingqing leaned out the window, looking at the streets of Qingzhou outside.

Qingqing said in her childish voice, "Mother, Qingqing is reluctant to leave Qingzhou."

Qi Ning replied, "My mother is also reluctant to leave Qingzhou."

Duan Yiyuan chuckled softly, "Why does that sound so familiar?"

Qi Ning turned around: "What sounds familiar?"

“I just remembered that a few years ago when we returned to the capital, you were saying the whole way that you didn’t want to leave Qingzhou, just like you are now.”

Qi Ning glared at him slightly, then put on a stern face and pretended to be annoyed: "Don't bring up what happened before."

"Okay, okay, I won't mention it."

Seeing that he had angered the man, Duan Yiyuan tried to coax him, saying, "If you can't bear to leave Qingzhou, we can come back to Qingzhou to retire when we get old."

"Father, Qingqing wants to come back too."

"Okay."

Duan Yiyuan took Qingqing from Qi Ning's arms and said, "When Qingqing grows up, we'll find a son-in-law to live with us so she can stay with her parents forever. That way, wherever her parents go, they can take her with them, and they can bring her back when they return to Qingzhou."

The young man is too young to understand what a live-in son-in-law means.

But she understood one thing: as long as she married into the family, she could stay with her parents forever.

She nodded her little head like a chick pecking at rice, and said with a precocious air, "I want to find a son-in-law to live with me. Qingqing wants to find a son-in-law to live with her."

Duan Yiyuan laughed out loud.

Qi Ning kicked him in annoyance: "Don't spoil the child."

Duan Yiyuan, however, grabbed Qi Ning's ankle with his other hand.

"Let go."

Duan Yiyuan held Qi Ning's ankle tightly, but looked down at the child in his arms and said, "Qingqing, are you sleepy? Go to sleep."

It's not a good thing to look at.

"But I'm not sleepy yet."

Qingqing is too excited to sleep right now.

Duan Yiyuan sighed helplessly and had no choice but to release Qi Ning.

At this moment, Duan Yiyuan thought that it was good not to have children; having children would make many things inconvenient.

The family chatted and laughed, and after about half a month, they finally returned to the capital.

After returning to the capital, His Majesty appointed Duan Yiyuan as Minister of Personnel and Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Hall, making him the youngest cabinet minister in the dynasty, holding the highest rank and wielding immense power.

As Duan Yiyuan's wife, Qi Ning was naturally granted the title of Lady of Imperial Decree.

Qi Ning showed no restraint and openly appeared at various banquets in the capital after returning to Beijing.

Many people reacted as if they had seen a ghost when they saw Qi Ning, thinking that this Minister's wife looked exactly like the deceased second young mistress of the Duan family.

But they only dared to whisper a few words in private; who would dare to say it to Qi Ning's face?
