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

Chapter 195 The Vicious Young Lady of a Noble Family (31 pages)

Xiuzhu said warily, "The Second Miss's sudden kindness towards you is suspicious. This servant thinks there might be something wrong with the medicine!"

Qi Jingyu glanced at the bowl of medicine: "What could be wrong? Would she poison me?"

Qi Jingyu felt that Qi Ning would not go so far as to harm him.

Perhaps Qi Ning still harbors resentment towards him because of her mother's situation, but things are different now, especially after returning from the brink of death at the bottom of the cliff.

Qi Jingyu couldn't explain why, but he inexplicably trusted Qi Ning.

Xiuzhu, however, did not think that way. In his heart, nothing was more important than Qi Jingyu's safety.

"Young master, it's always better to be safe than sorry. Let me test this bowl of medicine with a silver needle, just to put my mind at ease."

Before Qi Jingyu could even agree, Xiuzhu had already taken a wooden box from the bookshelf next to him and then took out a silver needle from the box.

Just as Xiuzhu was holding a silver needle, intending to test the medicine for poison, a shadow suddenly appeared at the door of the study, blocking some of the light.

Qi Jingyu and Xiuzhu looked up and saw that Qi Ning had returned without them noticing.

At that moment, she stood at the door of the study, looking at them with a mysterious, ambiguous smile.

"Oh, so Second Brother doesn't trust me and is afraid I'll poison you."

This was the first time Qi Ning had called him "Second Brother," but in such a sarcastic tone.

"no……"

Qi Jingyu quickly denied it, his expression unconsciously showing some panic.

"What do you mean it isn't true? You still won't admit it. I saw it with my own eyes."

Qi Ning pointed to Xiu Zhu, who had been caught red-handed. He was still holding a silver needle, which was suspended above the medicine. The evidence was conclusive.

Xiuzhu was startled, and quickly put away the silver needles after realizing what had happened.

Qi Ning, however, persisted, looking heartbroken with a slightly sad expression on her face.

"If I hadn't come back suddenly, I wouldn't have known that my second brother was so wary of me."

"Since you don't trust me, why didn't you choose the maid when I gave you the choice, and why did you agree to let me brew medicine for you?"

"They act as if they believe me, but secretly they doubt me."

"Ha, you've completely wasted my good intentions. I'll have someone bring the rest of the herbs over later, so you can brew them yourself! If you don't even trust the herbs I bought, then go out and buy them yourself!"

After saying that, Qi Ning flicked her sleeves and turned to leave angrily.

Upon seeing this, Qi Jingyu strode forward and grabbed Qi Ning's wrist: "Second sister."

Why are you pulling me?

Qi Ning turned around and tried to shake off Qi Jingyu's hand that was holding her, but she couldn't.

"go out!"

These words were spoken to Xiuzhu.

Qi Jingyu turned his head to look at Xiuzhu, his eyes revealing a hint of coldness.

"Yes……"

Xiuzhu shuddered. He realized that the second young master wanted to speak with the second young lady alone. He quickly left the study and pulled Dongyue, who was guarding outside, away.

"What are you doing? I want to go back."

Qi Ning pretended not to understand and continued to struggle.

Qi Jingyu grabbed her wrist and led her into the study, then closed the door behind him.

"Let me go!" Qi Ning said again.

Qi Jingyu then released her.

In front of Qi Ning, he picked up the bowl of medicine, tilted his head back, and drank it down.

The herbal medicine smelled bitter from afar, not to mention how bitter it tasted, but Qi Jingyu didn't even frown.

After he finished drinking, he showed the empty bowl to Qi Ning.

"I'm done."

Qi Ning looked at him and blinked: "Didn't you suspect I poisoned you? Why did you drink it like this?"

“I have no doubts about you,” Qi Jingyu said. “If you really wanted to poison me, you would have done it long ago, not now.”

Qi Ning raised her chin arrogantly: "Hmph, you know that much."

Seeing that Qi Ning seemed to have calmed down, Qi Jingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then, Second Sister, don't bring the medicinal herbs over. I'll trouble you to decoct the medicine for me from now on."

"Alright then, considering you took care of me at the bottom of the cliff, I'll naturally look after you." Qi Ning reluctantly agreed.

She seemed so easy to coax. She had been sulking just a moment ago, but now the storm had passed and a smile had appeared on her face.

"This is my first time visiting your courtyard. Although it's in a secluded location, it's quite elegant. The study looks nice too; how come there are so many books?"

Qi Ning seemed very interested in Qi Jingyu's study, looking up at the books on his bookshelves.

"If there's any book you'd like to read, you can take it."

Qi Jingyu said from behind her.

Qi Ning only glanced at it before turning her gaze back to the desk.

"Did you write this?" she asked.

Qi Jingyu nodded slightly: "That's right."

"I can do it too, let me try."

After Qi Ning finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves, picked up a calligraphy brush, dipped it in ink, and pretended to write.

However, she used too much ink, and before she could even put pen to paper, a drop of ink dripped onto the paper, ruining Qi Jingyu's perfect calligraphy work.

"oops."

She paused, looked up at Qi Jingyu, and said innocently, "What should I do? I didn't mean to."

Qi Jingyu realized what "accident" meant; Qi Ning was still angry and was deliberately "getting revenge" on him here.

She was still a young girl who had just come of age, and she was still a bit childish.

Qi Jingyu was both amused and exasperated, and could only say, "It's alright, it's just a piece of calligraphy, it's fine if it's ruined."

Qi Ning smiled slyly and put down his brush.

"I'm not writing anymore, it's pointless."

She clapped her hands, wandered around Qi Jingyu's study, touching and looking at things, causing a bit of damage, but finally felt happy.

"It's getting late, I'll head back now and come back tomorrow to bring my second brother his medicine."

At this moment, she pretended to be well-behaved and stood in front of Qi Jingyu, speaking.

"it is good."

Qi Jingyu naturally couldn't be angry with her, so he agreed.

Xiuzhu and Dongyue waited outside the study for a long time. They were worried that Qi Ning and Qi Jingyu would quarrel inside, but there was almost no movement inside.

After what seemed like an eternity, the study door finally opened.

Qi Ning, who was originally angry, was now all smiles as Qi Jingyu saw her out.

"No need to see me off, Fuyutsuki, let's go."

After saying that, Qi Ning walked out with light steps.

"Miss, wait for me."

Dongyue jogged after him.

Qi Jingyu watched Qi Ning's departing figure for a long while before turning his gaze away.

Xiuzhu was completely bewildered: "Young Master, the Second Miss, she..."

Qi Jingyu glanced at him, ignored him, and turned back to his study.

Xiuzhu hurriedly followed him into the study, and was startled when he entered.
