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

When Xu Yanzong arrived at Shouan Hall, Xu Yanqing, Qi Ning, and others were talking with the old lady.

He rushed in: "Grandmother, something terrible has happened! Father has been taken away by the yamen runners!"

"What?" The old lady stood up shakily in shock. "How could my eldest son be taken away by the yamen runners?"

“They said…that my father is suspected of murdering my second uncle…” Xu Yanzong stammered.

"This..." Upon hearing that it was related to Xu Maoting, the old lady was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a moment.

Xu Yanqing and Qi Ning exchanged a glance.

Qi Ning went to the old lady's side and, together with the nanny, helped her sit down.

Xu Yanqing stood up and said, "Grandmother, don't panic. I was the one who sent someone to report to the authorities when my uncle was taken away."

"What? You were the one who reported it to the authorities?" Xu Yanzong looked at Xu Yanqing and asked incredulously, "Why did you report your own uncle to the authorities?"

"Don't you already know?"

Xu Yanqing said in a calm tone, "Xu Maoyuan murdered my father. It was his former personal servant Wu Desheng who came forward to identify him. Wu Desheng still has letters from back then as evidence. The bandits who killed my father were actually hired by Xu Maoyuan to impersonate others. We have both witnesses and physical evidence."

"This...how is this possible..." Xu Yanzong shook his head slightly, unwilling to believe the fact at all.

Upon hearing Xu Yanqing's words, the old lady turned deathly pale and fainted.

"grandmother!"

"old lady!"

The old lady fell ill.

This illness made the already aged person seem to age several years overnight.

She neither ate nor drank nor spoke for three consecutive days, ignoring all attempts by others to persuade her.

It wasn't until three days later.

"Grandmother, please eat something," Qi Ning urged again. "You need to take good care of yourself. Your granddaughter-in-law's baby will need to see her great-grandmother."

"Oh, right, there's some good news you don't know yet. Today, Doctor Zhao came to take my daughter-in-law's pulse and said she's carrying twins."

The old lady turned her head to look at Qi Ning's protruding belly and asked in a weak voice, "Really?"

"It's true, they are indeed twins."

The old lady looked at it for a long time before nodding: "Then have some."

After slowly drinking a bowl of porridge, the old lady looked at her children and grandchildren who were watching over her in the room, but she couldn't see the second wife.

"Where is the second son's wife?"

“Mother is also ill,” Xu Yanqing replied. “But Grandmother, don’t worry, Mother’s health is still relatively strong. She is just overwhelmed with grief and anger, so she needs to rest in bed. Right now, your health is the most important thing.”

"What about Xu Maoyuan? Has he confessed?" the old lady asked again.

"not yet."

Xu Maoyuan remained stubborn. Despite being confronted with witnesses and evidence, and subjected to torture, three days passed, and he still refused to confess.

“I want to see him,” the old lady said.

Xu Yanqing considered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I will speak to the officials in the government office and bring him back tomorrow."

The old lady responded and then gave several more instructions.

The next day.

The Xu family ancestral hall was filled with members of the Xu family, as well as many of the Xu family elders.

Xu Maoyuan, shackled, was led here by the yamen runners and was quite confused by the scene before him.

But he didn't have time to think. As soon as he saw the old woman, he knelt down and cried, "Mother, I've been wronged! I didn't harm my second brother! Mother, please save me..."

Even now, in front of everyone, he still refuses to confess.

"Liu Maoyuan, don't call me mother, I am not your mother."

The old lady sat at the head of the table, her face still showing signs of illness, but her words were firm and resolute.

"Mother... what do you mean? Who is Liu... Liu Maoyuan...?"

“Liu Maoyuan is you. You don’t have the surname Xu. You should have the surname Liu.”

“Back then, my husband Xu Xiangrong and your father Liu Jiandong were close friends. When the Liu family got into trouble and were wiped out, you, who were only one year old, were secretly sent to the Xu family. Because of his relationship with your father, my husband adopted you as his own son and treated you as his own.”

"But we never imagined that our act of kindness would raise such a scourge, causing the tragic death of our own son..."

The old lady's voice choked as she spoke, and her eyes reddened.

But Liu Maoyuan retorted loudly, "No! That's impossible! I don't believe it!"

The old lady wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked the nanny to bring something to Liu Maoyuan.

"This is your father's will entrusting his son to you. Take a look."

Liu Maoyuan took the letter with trembling hands and opened the yellowed envelope. It indeed stated that the Liu family had gotten into trouble and that they had to entrust their one-year-old son, Liu Maoyuan, to the Xu family. The token was a jade pendant.

Liu Maoyuan did wear a jade pendant since childhood, unlike his other brothers. He once thought it was one of the few things his parents did to show him favoritism, but he never expected it to be proof that he was not of the Xu family bloodline.

He was trembling all over, his lips were opening and closing, but it was as if his throat was blocked, and he couldn't make a sound.

Is that really the case?

He's not actually a descendant of the Xu family... No wonder, no wonder...

The old lady glanced at him and said, "Back then, you were included in the Xu family genealogy under the witness of all the clan elders. Today, I have invited the clan elders here again to witness the removal of you, Liu Maoyuan, and all your descendants from the Xu family genealogy."

"From now on, you are no longer members of the Xu family, and the Xu family's assets will be taken back. Leave the Xu family and start your own businesses. Whether you live or die is none of my business."

-

After being brought back to the yamen, Liu Maoyuan remained silent for a day and a night before finally confessing his guilt the next day.

Li Yunshu, having been confined to the small Buddhist hall for several months, had been tortured beyond recognition.

On this day, the door to the small Buddhist shrine was finally opened.

She looked up and found that it wasn't the two tormenting maids who had entered, but Xiu'er.

"Xiu'er, Xiu'er, you've come!"

Li Yunshu stood up from the prayer mat, supporting herself on her knees: "Xiu'er, did the young master send you to pick me up?"

Xiu'er sighed: "Madam, I did come to take you out, but we won't go back to Luoxia Courtyard."

"What do you mean?"

Li Yunshu was locked in the small Buddhist hall, never seeing the light of day, completely unaware of what was happening outside. She thought Xiu'er had come to take her out so she could continue being the eldest young mistress.

Xiu'er explained succinctly: "The Second Master was murdered by the First Master back then, and the First Master has already confessed. In addition, the First Master is not actually a descendant of the Xu family, but an adopted son of the Xu family. Yesterday, he and his descendants were removed from the Xu family genealogy."

"Therefore, the eldest master is no longer the eldest master, the eldest young master is no longer the eldest young master, and you are no longer the eldest young mistress. The entire eldest branch of the family must leave the Xu family and establish their own household."

"What...what..."

Li Yunshu's eyes were glazed over. She could hear everything Xiu'er said clearly, but she didn't quite understand what it meant.

how could be……

"What are you all dawdling about in there for? Get out of here now!" the old woman guarding the Buddhist hall urged.

She muttered to herself, "Birds of a feather flock together. The eldest son's family is all scheming and murderous. They're not actually from the Xu family!"

Another old woman said, "You didn't want to stay in the Xu family's little Buddhist hall before, but now you don't even have the right to stay!"

Xiu'er, afraid of being scolded by the old woman, quickly stepped forward to pull Li Yunshu: "Let's go quickly, there's no need to pack anything. The old lady said that we can't take a single needle or thread from the Xu family."

Li Yunshu was numbly pulled away by Xiu'er, leaving the small Buddhist hall she had always dreamed of leaving, but her mood was not as happy as she had expected.

That day, everyone in the main house was kicked out; they were no longer members of the Xu family, but members of the Liu family.

Li Yunshu did indeed retain her status as the eldest young mistress of the Xu family, but in the end, her husband lost the surname "Xu," and she became the so-called young mistress Liu.

However, Master Liu, Liu Maoyuan, was currently in death row and was about to be executed in the autumn.

The Xu family's properties and money that Liu Yanzong owned were forcibly confiscated, leaving Liu Yanzong penniless. He could no longer be considered a "Young Master Liu," and his wife could no longer be considered a "Madam."

The old lady did not try to cover up these things about the Xu family; instead, she let people spread the word, so that everyone in Yangzhou knew what had happened to the Xu family and that Liu Maoyuan's family was not a member of the Xu family.

Now that the Xu family has lost a branch, the original second branch has become the eldest branch, and Xu Yanqing is the true eldest grandson.

In particular, the Xu family's assets all returned to Xu Yanqing's hands, and he became the new head of the Xu family. Naturally, Qi Ning became the matriarch of the Xu family.

However, the two, who were the head of the household and the mistress of the house, were pulling and tugging at each other in the garden at this moment.

Qi Ning, heavily pregnant and panting, said angrily, "I'm tired, I'm not going any further, I want to go back and rest!"

"No." Xu Yanqing pulled Qi Ning back and gently persuaded her, "Listen to me, the doctor said you need to move around a bit so that the delivery will go more smoothly. I'll walk with you, okay?"

"But I can't walk anymore..."

"I'll help you walk slowly. You can lean on me to save your energy. We'll go back after one more lap."

"I really can't walk anymore!"

"Then we'll just walk half a lap."

Qi Ning remained silent. She had the system's pills, so she didn't need to worry about any production problems, and there would be no danger or pain. But she couldn't say it out loud.

As a result, she can only be dragged around the garden by Xu Yanqing, which has exhausted her.

She thought to herself, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Back then, she forced Xu Yanqing to walk around in order to help him recover, but now it's the other way around, and it's Xu Yanqing's turn to force her to walk around."

She just hoped time would pass quickly, much faster, so she could give birth soon.

Since the Liu family was driven out, the Xu family seemed to have returned to its former peace, but a faint sense of melancholy always lingered in the air. Only when Qi Ning was around could the old lady and Xu Yanqing's mother be a little happier.

At the beginning of the new year, Qi Ning finally gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

The arrival of these two children finally swept away all the gloom of the old year and brought joy to the Xu family.
