Quick Wear: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character's Counterattack

Chapter 155: Transmigrated into an Unlucky Marquis (6)

This is the talented and handsome man in the original novel.

Ning Ning searched through her original body's memories and discovered that Wei Ruolan was indeed a talent. Not only was he good-looking, but he was also calm, intelligent, and first-rate in riding and shooting. He was worthy of the title of a talented and beautiful man.

In the original novel, Shi Xiangyun always felt aggrieved and even confided her grievances to Xue Baochai, as if her uncle and aunt had treated her unfairly.

But if she was really treated badly, why would she teach her embroidery, introduce her to those noble ladies, and put so much effort into her marriage?

They could have easily arranged for her to marry a man from a family that looked respectable but was actually filthy. She would have suffered countless hardships if she married him.

How could she take the trouble to carefully select and choose this ideal husband for her?

The original body was fine, but Madam Liu was very regretful at the time. She also had a biological daughter, and if possible, she really wanted to marry Wei Ruolan to her daughter.

But she had to follow the order of seniority and was afraid that people would say she was mistreating an orphan, so she could only give this good marriage to Shi Xiangyun.

Now the two families have made up their minds, and they are just waiting for the betrothal gifts. Once things go smoothly, the marriage will be done.

Ning Ning also hoped that Shi Xiangyun would get married soon so that Grandmother Jia could no longer take her in to live with her. The two families would have even less contact, and except for giving gifts during festivals, they would hardly need to meet.

It was a good idea, but unfortunately, after the New Year, although the Wei family came to make the reservation, Grandmother Jia still sent someone to pick her up, inviting Shi Xiangyun to stay for a few days, and she happily followed them.

Ning Ning was studying at home with Shi Nuo. The day of the exam was getting closer and closer. Even if she failed the exam, it would still be a rare experience. But at this moment, the housekeeper came in to report, and Grandmother Jia came over again.

Ning Ning frowned. For an elder like her to come to her house again and again, it meant that she must have encountered some difficulties.

Sure enough, Grandmother Jia tactfully suggested that Ning Ning help Jia Yuanchun.

"Your Highness is a noble lady in the palace. She is the only one who can help me. How can I help her?"

"You don't have to hide it from me. I know that our Shi family has some connections in the palace. We just need to ask them to help and remind the emperor to come visit the queen more often."

Ning Ning understood that although Jia Yuanchun became a concubine, she was not valued. In the emperor's heart, her more important identity was as a female official of Fengzao Palace.

But why does the Jia family need a senior female official? They need Jia Yuanchun to be their favorite concubine and they need her to give birth to a royal heir with Jia family blood.

But it seems that Jia Yuanchun does not have much favor.

Ning Ning sneered, "How can we help with the affairs of the palace? Besides, the so-called connections are all old people in the palace. They all want to ask for favors and leave the palace for a prosperous life. How can we have a say?"

The emperor is already feeling depressed because he is constrained by the emperor emeritus. If anyone interferes in his sleeping with women, I'm afraid he will write you down in his notebook and skin you alive in the future.

Being rejected bluntly, Jia's mother was so embarrassed that she almost cried, "I don't know how I have offended you brothers. You two didn't even tell me such a big thing as resigning. Don't you think about yourselves, and don't you think about your children?"

"It is for their sake that I want to retire at the peak of my career."

"Nonsense! Without you to look after them, how can they deal with the storms and waves in the court? You have already resigned, so there is no need to say more. But in the future, Nuo'er and the others will still need the Empress to take care of them."

Ning Ning: ...Look at this cake, it’s so big and round!

How can a concubine without favor take care of my son?

He watched Lady Jia acting, and sure enough, when Lady Jia saw that he was unwilling to use his connections in the palace to help Jia Yuanchun, she made another request - money!

Now, for the sake of Lin Daiyu, Lin Ruhai not only resigned from his official position and stayed away from complicated affairs, but also invited famous doctors to regulate his body, striving to live longer and protect Lin Daiyu.

Therefore, the Jia family did not get the Lin family's wealth, and the Shi family did not contribute either. They built the garden, and also had to help Jia Yuanchun win favor and bribe the respectable eunuchs in the palace, and they were already stretched to the limit.

As soon as Lady Jia mentioned money, Ning Ning became easier to deal with. He immediately started coughing, then his face turned red, and he covered his neck in pain, as if he was about to die, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Snow seemed to have received a signal and rushed out immediately, shouting "Dad, what's wrong with you?" and ordered the imperial physician to be called in to help the master in.

Then he apologized to Lady Jia, saying that his father's illness had been getting better and worse, otherwise he would not have resigned. He said, "I'm sorry, great aunt, you have to attend to Ning Ning's illness, so I have to leave."

Everything happened as skillfully as if it had been rehearsed countless times. By the time Lady Jia reacted, she was the only one left in the hall.

Grandmother Jia: ...Did you do this on purpose? !

She had no choice but to go back and later send some supplements to show her care and concern for Ning Ning.

She couldn't come up with the money, so she could only force Mrs. Wang.

What else could Mrs. Wang do? She could only coax Wang Xifeng to give her dowry to fill the hole, while at the same time she continued to exploit Aunt Xue.

But Aunt Xue couldn't use money to fill a bottomless pit. There was no sign of her daughter's marriage at all!

So she only took out some items that the shop couldn't sell temporarily to make ends meet, and refused to pay for anything else.

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to mention the marriage to Lady Jia when no one was around. Unexpectedly, Lady Jia spat on her head.

"Ever since they moved in, I knew what they were planning. I'm telling you, stop dreaming! You only have one son, Baoyu, how can you bear to abuse him like this?! If Baoyu marries your niece and enters the officialdom in the future, what can the Xue family do to help him? And that Xue Pan dares to kill people at any time. If he gets into trouble in the future, won't Baoyu be implicated!"

Mrs. Wang shuddered, thinking of the disadvantages that she had ignored before, and suddenly became anxious, "But Baoyu is old enough, and it's not good to delay his marriage. Besides, the Xue family did help us a lot in repairing the garden..."

Grandmother Jia lowered her eyes. "Why should we be so clear about what relatives say? If we don't consider our relationship as relatives, what does it have to do with us if Xue Pan kills someone? Why should we plead for him?"

It was as if a basin of cold water was poured over her head, and Mrs. Wang was instantly unable to make a sound.

What does Lady Jia mean by this?

Could it be that he wanted to use the fact that Xue Pan's household registration had been cancelled and that he was apparently dead as a threat?

Although she knew that her mother-in-law was not as kind as she seemed, she never expected that Lady Jia would plan this way!

Maybe she agreed to let the Xue family move in and had no intention of letting them leave!

"But...but, Baoyu's marriage..."

"I have already made plans for him. Miss Lin is a good choice. They grew up together and have similar personalities. They are a perfect match. I know you don't like Miss Lin, but you should also think about the benefits of this marriage."
