Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Reaches the Pinnacle of Life

A few days later, the two of them landed on their swords in Qiu Tong's courtyard.

At this time, all the maids and servants in the courtyard were sent to help prepare for Fengdie's wedding, and no one knew when the two of them returned.

They didn't mind, so they went back to their room to rest for a while and planned to show themselves to Murong Wangtian later that evening.

Jun Beichen followed Qiu Tong back to their bedroom. Qiu Tong momentarily forgot that this was not the Heavenly Sword Sect, so she asked, "Why are you following me? Why don't you go back to your room and rest?"

Jun Beichen looked at her speechlessly and reminded her, "This is our wedding room. If I don't go back here, where do you want me to go?"

Qiu Tong patted her forehead. She had gotten used to sleeping alone lately, and she was a little taken aback when he suddenly came in.

Before Qiu Tong could apologize to him, voices came from not far from the door.

Judging from the voices, it sounded like Qing'er and another maid who used to serve Qiu Tong closely.

Unaware that Qiu Tong and Jun Beichen had returned, they were discussing matters without restraint, focusing on the two of them.

Qiu Tong and Jun Beichen exchanged a glance, then sat down on the stool in tacit agreement, quietly listening to the sounds coming from the corner outside.

Qiu Tong initially thought Qing'er was a troublesome person, so she didn't take her to the academy.

Although Qing'er is not qualified to live in the academy, she can live near the academy.

If Qiu Tong needs to travel, she can come and serve her, accompany her, and be a maid who is always at her beck and call.

Many rich kids do this, so the residences near universities are mostly taken up by these second-generation rich kids.

The maids and servants there had it much easier than staying in the mansion.

Aside from when the young ladies and gentlemen leave the academy and are notified to accompany them, no one can supervise them at other times.

They can go wherever they want, so it's a great job.

Qing'er and another maid were supposed to go to the academy with Qiu Tong, but Qiu Tong ruined their plans with a single sentence, which made them both resentful.

When their master was away and they had some free time, they would all gather together to scold Qiu Tong.

At that time, Qiu Tong ignored the earnest pleading looks of her two personal maids and said to Murong Wangtian, "I went to the academy to cultivate and study, not to enjoy myself."

Taking them along would be pointless; they'd be better off staying in the manor to manage my small courtyard.

Murong Wangtian looked at Qiu Tong with satisfaction, naturally doing whatever she said.

Qing'er, who was in the courtyard, said, "I just heard Master say that Miss seems to be coming back in the next few days. We haven't seen her for several years."

Another maid, Hong'er, said disdainfully, "So what if she comes back? She's our mistress, she can come back whenever she wants. We servants will definitely welcome her."

Stop pretending. You clearly don't like Miss, so why are you acting like you really want to see her?

There are no outsiders here, no one is watching your performance.

The first sentence was filled with jealousy, but the rest was meant for Qing'er.

“I didn’t say I missed her. I just wondered what changes might have occurred when she came back after all these years.”

"What changes have occurred? It's still the same old thing."

Do you think she cheated during the competition between the young lady and her disciple?

We've never seen her cultivate before, how come she suddenly became so powerful that day? Did you know about this?

"I also find it strange. We're with Miss every day, and we've never seen her this good. Maybe she really did cheat that day."

"And have you noticed that ever since Miss got hurt last time, she's completely changed?"

"Yes, I noticed that too. In the past, wherever Miss went, she would always have someone accompany her, and she would even travel by sedan chair."

Why don't we come along to serve you this time when you go to the academy?

Miss used to enjoy having me with her, but ever since she woke up, she only wants you to serve her closely, which is quite unusual.

"Do you think Miss is possessed by something? She seems like a completely different person."

"You mean Miss has been possessed? No way, but Master still dotes on her. If it were someone else, Master would probably be able to sense it."

"She was lucky to be born into this family. If I could be born as well as her, I wouldn't go to any academy. It's a thankless and arduous task."

Why not just stay home and enjoy life?

Whether she was possessed or not, how would I know? I just said she seemed like a different person.

Go tell the master that the young lady has been possessed, and see how he punishes you.

Don't try to be clever with me. I won't fall for your tricks and gossip to the master.

If you're so loyal, why don't you speak for yourself instead of trying to guide people here?

"Qing'er, we grew up together. How could I not know what kind of person you are?"

“Hong’er, you’re being too sensitive. I didn’t ask you to talk about this. I just drew this conclusion from what you said.”

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Tell me what the young lady wanted to see you about earlier?"

Hong'er spoke evasively, feigning confusion as she asked, "What young lady? I don't know what you're talking about. I have things to do, so I'll be going now."

Qing'er watched Hong'er's departing figure thoughtfully, and soon left the place as well, returning to her room.

When Jun Beichen heard Hong'er say, "Murong Wuyue seems like a different person," his eyes were fixed on Qiu Tong.

Qiu Tong had already thought about this issue beforehand, which is why she didn't pretend at all.

I said back then that no matter how well she pretended, the maids who served her every day would definitely notice.

It would have been better if she had just been herself from the beginning, so she wouldn't have ended up with a hodgepodge of styles and not know how to continue acting.

Qiu Tong calmly accepted the scrutiny and waited for the other party to ask questions.

But Jun Beichen looked away and didn't ask anything.

Qiu Tong was a little surprised. She thought that even if the other party didn't keep asking questions, they would at least ask a question or two out of curiosity.

Jun Beichen certainly wanted to ask, but he felt that if the other party really had some secret, then even if he asked directly, she might not tell the truth.

It would be better to investigate privately yourself; that way, you might be able to find some clues.

He knew of Murong Wuyue's existence before and had even looked up some information about her. Indeed, her personality was very different from the current Murong Wuyue.

It seems that my wife is hiding many secrets.

Qing'er just said that Murong Wuyue was possessed, but judging from her thorough knowledge of the Murong family, how could the person who possessed her have all of Murong Wuyue's memories?

There's no use thinking about it so much. I'd better take advantage of these few days here and do a thorough investigation.

A silence fell over the room. No one spoke; they sat at their respective tables, each lost in their own thoughts.

Then two chirping sounds came from outside the door, followed by the sound of claws scratching at the door.

Hearing the familiar scratching sound, Qiu Tong knew that her two spirit beasts had arrived.

So he went to the door, opened it, and let the two spirit beasts in.

Just then, Qing'er heard a scratching sound coming from the young lady's room. When she opened the door to check, her eyes met Qiu Tong's.

When Qing'er saw Qiu Tong open the door from the inside, she remembered what she and Hong'er had said in front of the door earlier, and her face turned pale instantly.

Now that she had been seen, Qiu Tong gave the order without any expression.

"Go tell Father that I just got back, and I will go over to have dinner with him tonight."

Qing'er, her face pale, curtsied and said "Yes," then turned to inform the master of the news.

"and many more."

Startled by Qiu Tong's sudden call to stop, Qing'er turned even paler, trembling as she turned around, somewhat afraid to meet Qiu Tong's gaze.

"The son-in-law will also be going to pay his respects later, so please ask Father to prepare an extra meal."

"Yes."

This time, Qing'er answered quickly, and after answering, she turned around and ran away as if a monster was chasing her.
