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

Chapter 206 The Vicious Young Lady of a Noble Family (42 pages)

Zeng Wanqing was talking to the old lady when she suddenly covered her mouth and gagged.

She looked up, somewhat flustered, and said, "Mother, your daughter-in-law has lost her composure."

The old lady's expression changed slightly: "What's wrong with you?"

Zeng Wanqing shook her head: "My daughter-in-law doesn't know either. She probably caught a cold recently."

The old lady didn't think so. She raised her head and gave the nanny beside her a look.

The old woman understood immediately: "This servant will send someone to fetch a doctor to examine the Second Madam."

Before long, the doctor was summoned and took Zeng Wanqing's pulse.

"Congratulations, Madam! Congratulations, Second Madam! The Second Madam is pregnant!"

Upon hearing this, Zeng Wanqing's eyes widened in surprise, as if she couldn't believe it.

"Really?" the old lady asked.

"Reporting to the old lady, there's no mistake, the second madam is about two months pregnant."

The old lady's face lit up with joy: "Good, good, good, this is great news! Quickly send someone to deliver a message to Congming!"

Zeng Wanqing has been married into the Marquis's mansion for more than half a year, and the old lady almost thought she couldn't have children.

Although Qi Congming already had a son named Qi Jingyu, Qi Jingyu was ultimately just a son born to a concubine, and Qi Congming still needed a legitimate son.

Upon hearing that Zeng Wanqing was pregnant, the old lady was naturally delighted.

She said to Zeng Wanqing, "Put everything else aside for now. The most important thing right now is to take good care of your pregnancy."

Zeng Wanqing had already realized what was happening. She covered her still-flat stomach and smiled, saying, "Thank you, Mother."

The old lady arranged for someone to send Zeng Wanqing back, and also sent a lot of things to her courtyard. With such a grand display, it wasn't long before the news of Zeng Wanqing's pregnancy spread throughout the entire Marquis's mansion.

At that time, Qi Ning was teaching Qi Tang to embroider handkerchiefs in Qiyun Pavilion when Dong Xue suddenly lifted the curtain and rushed in.

"Miss!"

Qi Ning looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Miss, something has happened. It's about the Second Madam..." She stopped halfway through her sentence, glanced at Qi Tang, and seemed unsure whether she could say it in front of Qi Tang.

Qi Ning knew what news Dong Xue wanted to say; it was nothing more than that Zeng Wanqing was pregnant.

In the original storyline, Zeng Wanqing was discovered to be pregnant during this period, and Qi Ning was already mentally prepared.

As for Qi Tang, although she is still young, there is no need to hide it from her. Soon the whole Marquis's mansion will know the news, so hiding it from her will be useless.

Qi Ning put down the half-embroidered handkerchief in her hand and said calmly, "Speak."

Dongxue then continued, "I heard the news that the Second Madam is pregnant and is now two months along. The Old Madam is overjoyed and has sent a lot of tonics to the Second Madam's courtyard. She has also sent someone to deliver the news to the Marquis."

After listening, Qi Ning nodded slightly, and then looked at Qi Tang sitting next to her.

Compared to Qi Ning's calm and prepared demeanor, Qi Tang was indeed much more surprised.

She looked up at Qi Ning and said, "Sister, what my elder sister said before was indeed true. Mother will have younger brothers and sisters soon after marrying Father."

Qi Ning asked her, "Are you unhappy?"

Qi Tang never hid her emotions in front of Qi Ning. She pouted and said, "A little bit, just a little bit."

"Why? Are you afraid that once your mother has a younger brother or sister, she won't treat you as well as before?"

"No." Qi Tang shook her head. "I just... I just thought of my mother..."

Qi Ning reached out and touched her round little face: "Missing your mother? How about we go and light incense for her?"

“Okay!” Qi Tang immediately agreed.

The two sisters went to Xunlan Courtyard, where the second wife, Zhou Minyi, originally lived.

Her memorial tablet is enshrined in this courtyard.

Qi Ning and Qi Tang each lit an incense stick, bowed to Zhou Shi, and placed it in the incense burner in front of her memorial tablet.

Qi Ning sighed inwardly.

Aside from the part of the plot that she intervened in changing, Zeng Wanqing's part basically continued to develop along the original trajectory.

After Zeng Wanqing becomes pregnant, the First Madam will surely be unable to restrain herself again. Qi Ning will have to follow her mission and step in at the crucial moment to provide appropriate assistance to Zeng Wanqing. In that case, her mission will be completed, and she will be able to settle the debt that the original owner owed to Zeng Wanqing in her previous life.

Qi Ning and Qi Tang stood in front of Zhou Minyi's memorial tablet for a while, until a voice came from outside the door.

"Second Young Master, what brings you here?"

Qi Ning turned around and, sure enough, saw Qi Jingyu standing outside the door, looking at them.

"Second brother, what brings you here?"

Qi Jingyu stepped in: "I'll come and offer incense to Mother."

Of course, offering incense to Zhou was one aspect, but another was that Qi Jingyu was worried about Qi Ning.

Upon hearing the news that Zeng Wanqing was pregnant, Qi Jingyu's first reaction was to worry about Qi Ning's feelings.

He guessed that Qi Ning might be here, so he came over.

After Qi Jingyu finished speaking, he went to light incense and offer prayers.

Qi Ning pushed Qi Tang to the maid: "Let's take the Third Miss back to rest first."

"Yes."

The maid took Qi Tang away, leaving only Qi Ning and Qi Jingyu in the room.

Qi Ning turned around and saw that Qi Jingyu had finished offering incense. He was standing silently in front of Zhou's memorial tablet, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Qi Ning didn't say anything, but stood beside Qi Jingyu.

Qi Congming was not at home today. When he received the news that Zeng Wanqing was pregnant, he was stunned for a long time before returning to the Marquis's residence.

However, upon returning to his residence, he did not go to Zeng Wanqing's courtyard immediately, but instead went to Xunlan Courtyard.

When he arrived, there were servants guarding the Xunlan Courtyard.

Qi Congming told them to be quiet and walked over quietly. When he reached the door, he indeed saw Qi Ning's back.

Surprisingly, Qi Jingyu was also there.

The brother and sister stood quietly in front of Zhou's memorial tablet, saying nothing, and he could not see the expressions on their faces.

Qi Congming originally intended to come over to offer incense to Zhou Shi and talk to her, but in the end, he only stood outside the door for a while before turning around and leaving.

Before leaving, he instructed his servants: "Don't let the second young lady and the others know that I've been here."

"Yes," the maids and servants replied.

After Qi Congming left, Qi Ning looked back at the doorway, which was empty.

Qi Jingyu turned around and looked at Qi Ning, reaching out to pat her head.

"Do not be sad."

"Who's sad? I'm not sad," Qi Ning denied softly.

Looking at her stubborn eyes, Qi Jingyu suppressed the urge to pull her into his arms.

After being escorted back to her courtyard by the old lady, Zeng Wanqing took a long time to calm herself down.

It has been more than half a year since she married into the Marquis's mansion, but she has not gotten pregnant. The First Madam often makes sarcastic remarks to her, the servants gossip about it, and the Old Madam has also urged her to get pregnant several times in secret.
