The pampered heiress holds the script and leads her cannon fodder family to a counterattack.

Qin Yezhong and Yang Xiurong had actually been planning this for a while.

Since Liu Ying is honest and upright, and she is able to maintain her chastity for the sake of Confucianism, it is evident that she is a woman of good character.

Moreover, Ru Feng tends to be stubborn and fixated on things he's set his mind to, and if we try to stop him from marrying Liu Ying, he might do something extreme.

Wan Ying also mentioned that she was fertile, which further solidified the couple's determination to marry Liu Ying into their household.

"Ru Feng, get up quickly. I agree to this. I will choose a day to go to the Central Animal Husbandry Bureau to propose marriage and bring Liu Ying back to us with all the proper betrothal gifts."

Qin Rufeng was stunned for a moment after hearing this. It took him a while to realize what his father had said.

I thought that marrying Liu Ying as my principal wife would be a long and drawn-out process, but I never expected my father to be so open-minded. Of course, my younger sister's feelings definitely played a part in this.

Qin Rufeng hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, Father and Mother! Thank you, Father and Mother!"

Seeing her son like this, Yang Xiurong felt a pang of heartache. "Silly child, get up. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters."

Looking at her fifth brother, Qin Wanying's face broke into a smile.

[Great! My fifth brother's marriage is settled, and that puts a weight on my mind.]

Qin Rufeng was deeply moved to see Qin Wanying's support for him, and he grew to love his younger sister even more.

If it weren't for his younger sister's reminder, he wouldn't have been able to save Liu Ying today. Perhaps, just as his younger sister said, he will truly never recover.

He should thank his younger sister properly and treat her even better in the future.

Qin Rufeng stood up and bowed to Qin Wanying: "Little sister, thank you for reminding me today. If it weren't for you, I would never have seen Liu Ying again."

He wasn't just being polite when he said these things to Qin Wanying. He was genuinely grateful to her.

Qin Wanying quickly returned the greeting: "Fifth Brother, we are siblings, there's no need for formalities. I am a member of the Marquis's Mansion, so it's only right that I remind them when something happens."

The whole family was happy for Qin Rufeng.

Everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Qin Wanying, however, was not sleepy.

Today's events served as a wake-up call for her.

In this fictional world, murder is commonplace.

As a woman, she was physically weak and, despite having bodyguards, her own strength couldn't be too weak. Otherwise, she wouldn't even be able to escape.

She now possesses a hidden weapon ring given to her by her sixth brother, but it might not be of much use against a true expert.

It would be best to learn some martial arts for self-defense.

She went out of the room and called Mu Yan out.

Mu Yan was suddenly called by the Second Miss, so he hurriedly appeared and bowed to Qin Wanying.

"What are your orders, Second Miss?" Mu Yan asked respectfully. He felt a secret joy at the fact that the Second Miss was speaking to him.

"Mu Yan, I'd like to learn a couple of self-defense techniques from you," Qin Wanying said with a smile.

Mu Yan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. Why did the Second Miss suddenly decide to learn self-defense techniques?

However, he didn't ask any further questions. He was just a shadow guard; what right did he have to ask so many questions? He should just do whatever his master said.

"Yes."

The two went to the outer courtyard.

The night was perfect, with a huge full moon hanging in the deep blue night sky, and the quiet courtyard occasionally echoed with the rustling of leaves.

"Judging from your posture and figure, Miss Er, you have no martial arts background. I will now teach you some simple and practical skills so that you can use them to fight back and escape if you encounter bad guys."

What I need is something simple and practical.

Qin Wanying knew she had no foundation and would definitely lose to those who had been practicing martial arts since childhood in a head-on confrontation. She could only resort to tricks and skillful techniques to escape.

Fortunately, Qin Wanying was not stupid; she learned it in just one hour.

"These moves need to be practiced diligently to form physical memory, otherwise you'll easily become rusty if you encounter a bad guy unexpectedly."

"I understand, Master Mu Yan." Qin Wanying smiled and clasped her hands in a respectful greeting.

Seeing Qin Wanying's expression, Mu Yan was at a loss for words and hurriedly bowed, saying, "Second Miss, you flatter me. What am I? How could I be worthy to be your teacher?"

Qin Wanying looked at Mu Yan's serious expression and found him quite interesting.

"By the way, I also want to learn that kind of light-footed skill that allows you to fly up and down. Can you teach me that tomorrow?"

Such light-footed skills only exist in the world of novels.

As a time traveler, she simply couldn't resist learning.

"Yes, I will teach you tomorrow." It would be good for the second young lady to learn some light-body skills so that she could escape if she encountered danger.

"However, learning lightness skills takes time; it cannot be learned overnight."

"No problem, go ahead and learn," Qin Wanying smiled, her voice sweet and soft.

Mu Yan blushed slightly when he saw Qin Wanying's smile, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at her at all.

The second young lady is so cute! She's beautiful, has a sweet voice, and possesses special abilities.

Could it be that I've fallen for the second young lady?

Thinking of this, Mu Yan was startled.

The Second Miss's status and position were far beyond what a servant like him could even dream of.

I can't believe I even had such thoughts; I deserve to die.

"By the way, I've also arranged for someone to teach my maids some martial arts. The people around me can't be too bad at fighting," Qin Wanying said.

"Yes. I will make the arrangements tomorrow," Mu Yan said, bowing his head.

Qin Wanying went back to her room.

I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

She can see other people's fates and change their fates.

For example, after preventing Liu Ying from being defiled, we can see that Fifth Brother's fate has changed.

However, she couldn't see too far ahead about the fate of her own family.

Perhaps it was because these things were closely related to her own fate, yet she couldn't see her own destiny.

Why? Why, despite being granted the power of prophecy, am I unable to see my own destiny clearly?

Could this be a restriction placed on her?

As she pondered, Qin Wanying felt a headache coming on and drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Qin Wanying got up early and quickly dressed up.

Today, I need to check the results of the imperial examinations first, and then visit my maternal grandparents.

Qin Wanying recalled the script. She herself was a cannon fodder female supporting character, so how could there be a detailed description of the cannon fodder female supporting character's maternal grandparents?

All I know is that her maternal grandfather was a second-rank official, a very powerful man.

After breakfast, Qin Yezhong and Qin Xingyuan went to the morning court session, while Yang Xiurong, Qin Rufeng, Qin Xiaoyan, and Qin Wanying went out to check on the results.

The whole family remained calm and composed. They had unwavering faith in Qin Wanying's prophetic abilities and knew that Qin Rufeng's success in becoming the top scholar was a foregone conclusion.

The family felt no anxiety, only joy, as if they had won the lottery and were going to claim their prize.

When they arrived at the place where the imperial examination results were announced, it was already packed with people.

Because there were too many people, he ordered his servant to go and check.

After a while, the servant returned to report.

The servant returned with an excited look on his face and said, "Congratulations to the Fifth Young Master for becoming the top scholar!"

Although they already knew this would be the outcome, the family couldn't help but be happy.

"That's wonderful! That's wonderful! I never thought that my Qin family, a family of military generals, would actually produce a top scholar!" Yang Xiurong was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

Qin Rufeng was also very happy, but he was a rather composed person, so when he was happy he would only smile slightly, and you couldn't tell that he was very excited.

On the contrary, Qin Xiaoyan was very excited. Qin Rufeng had become the top scholar in the imperial examination. He acted as if he himself had become the top scholar. He walked with a swagger and held his chin high.

Yang Xiurong scolded, "Your fifth brother became the top scholar, not you! Why are you so happy?"

Qin Xiaoyan laughed and said, "Fifth Brother and I are twin brothers. What difference does it make if Fifth Brother becomes the top scholar or I become the top scholar? I'm going to cling to Fifth Brother's coattails from now on!"

Qin Wanying was also very happy for her fifth brother.

[That's wonderful! My fifth brother has finally achieved his goals after years of hard study, and he'll be marrying the woman he wanted to marry. I'm so happy for him!]

Qin Wanying's thoughts were also Qin Rufeng's own. He was overjoyed at the thought that he had not only become the top scholar in the imperial examination but also could propose to Liu Ying.

Qin Wanying asked the servant, "Did you see who the second-place scholar is?"
