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

Xu Yanqing rarely went out and didn't actually know any women outside. The only one he had ever met was Miss He, who was almost married to him to bring him good luck.

When Xu Yanqing's eldest sister, Xu Ruoxin, got married, it was the time when the Xu family was at its lowest point, and the second master had also passed away. Therefore, Xu Ruoxin married the eldest son of the He family.

A few years later, the Xu family prospered again. At that time, He Bingyu accompanied her elder sister-in-law Xu Ruoxin to the Xu family to attend the old lady's birthday banquet, and fell in love with Xu Yanqing at first sight.

If the Xu family were at its lowest point, the He family would certainly not have wanted their daughter to marry into the family to bring good fortune. However, the Xu family gradually prospered again at that time, and He Bingyu insisted on marrying Xu Yanqing, so the He family reluctantly agreed.

Unfortunately, everyone else agreed, but Xu Yanqing himself refused.

In fact, Xu Yanqing had only met He Bingyu once before, and he had only heard about her from his family. Therefore, he had almost forgotten what Miss He looked like.

After staring at He Bingyu for a while, Xu Yanqing finally remembered who she was.

Seeing Xu Yanqing looking at her, He Bingyu said, "Brother Yanqing, don't you remember me? I'm Bingyu... I'm..."

"Miss He."

Xu Yanqing nodded slightly to her.

When He Bingyu saw that he still remembered her, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

But her smile had barely appeared before it gradually disappeared.

After Xu Yanqing finished speaking to her, he turned to Qi Ning and told her, "That's my brother-in-law's sister, Miss He."

Qi Ning responded with an ambiguous tone.

The next moment, he introduced her to He Bingyu, saying, "Miss He, this is my wife."

A few words and expressions clearly showed a difference in intimacy.

He Bingyu naturally guessed Qi Ning's identity.

When Xu Yanqing and Qi Ning got married, the He family did not allow her to attend and locked her up.

Today, He Bingyu came out with her mother. Her mother was at the clothing store next door and told her to come here to pick out jewelry herself.

She never expected to meet Xu Yanqing and his wife here.

He Bingyu had heard that this second young mistress of the Xu family was just a maidservant who accompanied Xu Yanqing's eldest sister-in-law during her dowry.

He Bingyu was initially disdainful, thinking that a maid could not possibly be worthy of Xu Yanqing.

Upon meeting her today, I noticed that the second young mistress had fair skin and delicate features, especially her bright and captivating eyes. She was dressed in luxurious clothes, and her demeanor was in no way inferior to that of a lady from a prominent family. She showed no signs of the petty arrogance often associated with maids.

It is said that since the Second Young Mistress entered the household, Xu Yanqing's health has miraculously improved. People outside are saying that the marriage to bring good luck has really worked, and that the Second Young Mistress is a blessed person.

In addition, the story of the Xu family's charity event some time ago, and how the second young mistress cleverly resolved the conflict over porridge distribution, has spread throughout the city, and everyone praises the Xu family's second young mistress for her intelligence.

Even if someone comes from a poor background, it's understandable why Xu Yanqing would take a liking to her.

Despite her understanding, He Bingyu still felt a bittersweet feeling in her heart.

She even wondered if she had married Xu Yanqing back then, would she have been able to bring him good luck and make him recover?

Upon hearing Xu Yanqing's introduction, she paused for a moment before nodding to Qi Ning, her eyes clearly filled with complex emotions.

Qi Ning smiled slightly, which was taken as a response.

He Bingyu seemed to want to say something more to Xu Yanqing, and she said, "Brother Yanqing, I have something to say to you. Can we talk in private for a moment?"

Qi Ning watched them as if she were an observer, wanting to see how Xu Yanqing would respond.

Unfortunately, compared to He Bingyu's hesitant expression, Xu Yanqing's expression was very indifferent.

“Miss He, I still need to accompany my wife to choose jewelry. If you have anything to say, you can say it here.”

He Bingyu became anxious upon hearing this and said, "It's about my eldest sister-in-law..."

"Is that so?" Xu Yanqing said. "I wonder what it is that you need, elder sister? I'll send someone to ask her myself later."

He easily saw through the excuse that He Bingyu came up with on the spot.

He Bingyu's eyes were red; she couldn't say the things she wanted to say in front of his wife.

She knew that it was impossible for her and Xu Yanqing to be together. It was already difficult enough for her family to agree to her marrying him to bring good luck. Now that he already had a wife, she couldn't very well go and become a concubine.

He Bingyu's family had already arranged a marriage for her; she was simply trying to express her feelings to Xu Yanqing today.

But Xu Yanqing's cold attitude clearly indicated his rejection.

The maid beside He Bingyu whispered a reminder: "Miss, Madam is still waiting for us next door. We'd better go down quickly, or it won't be good if Madam finds out."

He Bingyu opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but Xu Yanqing had already lowered his eyes and continued to select jewelry for his wife.

The maid beside her pulled her again, and He Bingyu glanced at Xu Yanqing once more before following the maid downstairs.

After watching this drama of a woman being interested in a man but not interested in him, Qi Ning thought to herself, "Love at first sight is such a mysterious thing. You can't believe you're willing to die for him after just one glance."

I don't know what it feels like.

Xu Yanqing looked up at Qi Ning and saw that she was still staring blankly at the spot where He Bingyu had just stood. He asked, "What are you thinking about? Aren't you going to pick out jewelry?"

Qi Ning came back to her senses and smiled: "I was wondering if my husband regretted it. If you had known earlier that you could recover, you would have married a lady from a prominent family like Miss He, instead of someone like me?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yanqing frowned slightly: "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Qi Ning snorted: "Fine, I only mentioned Miss He once, and you're already yelling at me? Can't I even say anything?"

Xu Yanqing said helplessly, "That's not what I meant."

Qi Ning's expression suddenly fell, and she pretended to be aggrieved, saying, "I saw my husband meeting with the woman who almost married him, and I heard her calling you 'brother' over and over again. I couldn't even say a word. You're hurting me too much."

Xu Yanqing believed it for a moment and quickly explained, "There's really nothing between us. I almost didn't recognize her just now."

Seeing that Qi Ning still looked aggrieved, he compromised again and said, "What do you want to do to stop being angry?"

Qi Ning was just teasing him. When he heard him ask that question, he casually said, "Just now, I took a fancy to a jade pendant downstairs."

Xu Yanqing immediately nodded: "Then let's buy it."

He could probably guess what she was thinking. She probably thought that the money entrusted to her for safekeeping wasn't hers, but the things she bought for her were truly hers.

He nodded in agreement, and the aggrieved look on Qi Ning's face immediately disappeared without a trace. She smiled and thanked him, and then began to pick out jewelry with great interest again, looking like she was very easy to coax.

Xu Yanqing then belatedly realized that he seemed to have been deceived by her.

All that anger and jealousy was just an act.

Xu Yanqing knew that Qi Ning had initially approached him in order to marry him and become his second young mistress, thereby escaping her fate of marrying a servant.

She made it very clear from their first meeting that she wanted to marry him for status, power, and wealth, not because she loved him.

Qi Ning also offered something in return: to treat his illness and help him recover.

Their relationship was essentially a fair and mutually beneficial "transaction," and both of them kept their promises to each other.

Xu Yanqing understood all of this perfectly well, but at this moment, looking at Qi Ning's carefree and indifferent attitude, he felt a slight sense of dissatisfaction.

In her heart, he seemed less important than the pile of jewelry in front of her.

Xu Yanqing was in a good mood when he left home, but his mood completely changed when he returned.

Qi Ning glanced at him, pretending not to notice.

-

With the end of the year approaching and the Chinese New Year just around the corner, the Xu family is becoming increasingly busy, both inside and outside the home.

Before the Lunar New Year, the old lady received a letter from the eldest son of the Xu family, saying that he could not come home for the New Year due to business reasons and would be able to return after the New Year.

Incidentally, he also had many gifts brought back.

The old lady wasn't too surprised when she read the letter. This wasn't the first time the eldest master had done this. Although he couldn't come back in time for the New Year, a few months later wouldn't matter, as long as he was alright.

On the evening of the New Year's Eve banquet, after dinner, the old lady gave each of the younger members of the family a red envelope as a reward.

When it was Qi Ning's turn, she had Qi Ning sit next to her, took her hand and said, "Ning'er, you are a hero of our family. You have only been in the family for less than half a year, and you have not only handled the charity matter perfectly, but more importantly, you have helped Yan Qing recover. Grandmother will reward you handsomely."

As she spoke, she instructed the nanny to bring up a generous reward and hand it to Qi Ning.

Qi Ning quickly thanked her, "Thank you for your kindness, Grandmother."

The old lady smiled and said, "It would be even better if you and Yanqing could give the Xu family a great-grandchild next year."

Qi Ning nodded shyly, "Granddaughter-in-law understands."

It would be a lie to say that the others present didn't feel envious and jealous of the old lady's doting affection for Qi Ning.

Although Li Yunshu had a smile on her face, she couldn't smile at all. At this time last year, the old lady was still holding her hand and talking to her affectionately.

This year, Qi Ning married Xu Yanqing, and it's as if everything has changed.

Li Yunshu didn't know if it was an accident or something else.

Jing'er, standing behind Li Yunshu, looked at Qi Ning with resentment in her eyes.

How could someone be so lucky? Clearly, we were all lowly servants before, destined to be paired with servants for life, and to give birth to several children born with slave status, generation after generation serving as slaves.

Why is it that Qi Ning can suddenly marry the young master of the mansion and become a pampered young mistress?

Jing'er touched her lower abdomen. Ever since Axi was caught embezzling money and the two of them were punished, Axi had vented all his anger on her. Later, because she was pregnant, Axi stopped hitting her.

Fortunately, although the two had caused trouble, the young master and his wife, considering the years they had served them, did not sell them off and kept them by their side to serve them.

Even now, Jing'er has to serve Li Yunshu while she is pregnant, and she doesn't dare to complain at all, for fear of displeasing her mistress.

Seeing Qi Ning looking so smug, Jing'er's eyes grew even more gloomy.

Later that evening, Xu Yanqing and Qi Ning returned to the courtyard.

The two lay side by side on the bed.

Xu Yanqing looked at Qi Ning beside him and recalled the conversation between Qi Ning and the old lady.

He asked her, "Just now, Grandmother asked you and me to give the Xu family a great-grandchild next year. Did you agree?"

Qi Ning nodded: "Grandmother has already said so, how could I not agree? Wouldn't that spoil Grandmother's mood?"

"So what do you plan to do?" he asked again in a low voice.

Qi Ning looked up at Xu Yanqing and stared at him for a moment.

Although they have been married for so long and share a bed every night, Qi Ning still habitually holds him close while sleeping. However, due to Xu Yanqing's poor health, they have not yet consummated their marriage.

Without consummating the marriage, of course one cannot conceive and give birth to great-grandchildren.
