Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character

Master Wu's surname is not Wu. In fact, he doesn't even know what his original surname is. As far back as he can remember, he was a beggar on the street. After being brought back to the Xiao Mansion by the Marshal, he became the Marshal's personal guard after several years of training.

The marshal asked him his name, and he said his name was Fifty-Seven.

The marshal smiled and said, "Now that you have become my personal guard, you must have a name. How about you take the surname Wu and be called Wu Ren?"

From then on, he had a name.

Later on the battlefield, he was seriously wounded while saving the marshal, and one of his legs became paralyzed. The kind mistress said that she would give him a house, land, and freedom so that he could marry and have children. He did not want to leave the Xiao family, nor did he want to start a family. The mistress kindly allowed him to stay at the training ground in the marshal's mansion.

"You are the Marshal's benefactor, and the Xiao family should all take good care of you. Since you don't want to leave, then stay on the training ground, instruct a few young masters in martial arts, and teach a few apprentices as well, and serve as their guards," the royal princess said kindly.

Wu Ren settled down in the front yard of the Xiao family and taught many maids and boys to protect the young masters and ladies. When the marshal passed away, he actually wanted to go with the marshal, but the marshal gave him a mission to listen to his wife and protect the Xiao family.

Wu Ren is a stubborn and inflexible person. If the marshal tells him to listen to his wife, he will only listen to her.

"Why?" he asked Xiao Wu calmly. "Back then, when the Marshal asked you to be the eldest young master's servant, you agreed."

Xiao Wu knew his master's temperament; if he didn't make things clear today, his master wouldn't care.

"Master, Madam has expelled the eldest young master from the Xiao family... Madam has fainted, and the eldest young master actually wants to go see Miss Zhou first. I know that as a servant, having the thought of leaving is betraying my master, but I am also a human being and I know right from wrong. I would rather be the most dangerous vanguard than serve the eldest young master and Miss Zhou."

Wu Ren didn't speak, and Xiao Wu didn't dare to look up. The training ground became quiet. The sound of the wind outside the wall, the birds in the sky, and the snorting of the horses in the stable gradually became clearer.

"Get up first, I'll ask Madam first," came Wu Ren's calm and composed voice.

"Yes, Master Xie."

In Xifeng Courtyard, Cui Yao, wearing a headband, leaned against the headboard. She wasn't the original owner of this body, so she didn't feel any sadness. Her previous coma outside the ancestral hall and her current sickly state were all for show.

In particular, when a servant reported that Xiao Qingzhi had gone out with a servant boy to buy some snacks, and then happily went to Zhou Yan's house.

Cui Yao covered her mouth with her sleeve and coughed violently a few times. Taking the opportunity, she secretly spit out a mouthful of blood from her spatial dimension. It didn't spit out in an exaggerated way, but rather a few strands spilled from the corner of her lips.

"Madam!" Jixiang, who stepped forward to pat her back, was the first to notice something was wrong: "Madam has vomited blood."

Granny Cui rushed to the bedside: "Princess, this old servant will go and fetch a doctor immediately."

They were so anxious that they didn't even care about how to address each other.

Cui Yao waved her hand, took a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, and handed the handkerchief to a servant: "Burn this handkerchief, bring me water to rinse my mouth, and don't make a sound."

"Mother, don't think about that now. Your health is the most important thing. Please invite more doctors to check your pulse," Xiao Huaizhi, her second son, said in a trembling voice, his eyes red with anxiety.

"Mother, please watch over Lan'er, Lan'er is scared." Her legitimate daughter was only ten years old, but she had been crying for a long time, and her eyes were swollen.

"It's alright, I know my own body. It's just that I'm overwhelmed with grief, and my blood isn't flowing properly. I can use the medicine I always use. Right now, our Xiao family is going through a very difficult time. Your eldest brother," Cui Yao paused strategically, then continued, "Xiao Qingzhi was just expelled from the family and is still wandering around outside, showing no sign of sadness. If the news of me vomiting blood spreads throughout the city at this time, how will he be able to face the world?"

"Mother!" Xiao Huaizhi gritted his teeth, "You still care about him at a time like this? He didn't even care when you fainted, why are you bothering with him?"

"Huaizhi, you are still young and don't understand. You will understand when you become a father. The reason I expelled him from the Xiao family is that I cannot let him ruin the Xiao family's reputation as the eldest son. I cannot let down your father, I cannot be ashamed of the ancestors of the Xiao family, and I cannot disregard your future. But after all, he is the child I carried for ten months. As his mother, I cannot bear to force him to his death. He is not suitable to be a young master of a noble family, so let him be a leisurely rich man to avoid causing a great disaster in the future."

She coughed up blood and blocked the news, all for the benefit of the Xiao family, to prevent anyone from accusing her of being heartless or using the excuse that Xiao family offspring cannot be left to wander outside to bring that fool back.

Half of the Xiao family's destruction was caused by Xiao Qingzhi and his restless true love. The other half had some very complicated reasons. She needed a lot of energy to save the Xiao family and didn't have the energy to deal with those two troublemakers, so she had to completely wipe them out of the Xiao family.

Outside the screen, Xiao Wuyuan advised, "Eldest sister-in-law, your health is of utmost importance. Even if we can't invite doctors from outside, we should at least ask the family physician to take a look."

"In a few days, once things have calmed down, I will take good care of myself. As for today's events, I ask all the elders and uncles to keep the news at home and not let it spread."

"Our Lady is so righteous. It is our Xiao family's good fortune to have such a wise and righteous Lady. How could we men not know her good intentions? Please rest assured and take care of yourself. We will take care of things outside. Huai Zhi is still young and needs your guidance to manage the Xiao family. Please take good care of yourself." One of the elders, who was of great importance, spoke first, addressing her as "Lady" repeatedly, clearly showing his great respect.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries through the screen, Cui Yao's voice gradually faded. The Xiao family members took their leave and, upon returning home, delivered the best medicinal herbs and tonics from their private treasury to the Marshal's Mansion. Although their financial resources were not as great as the main branch, and their best private collections could not compare to Princess Fu'an's treasury, their intentions were genuine.

After everyone left, Cui Yao gave instructions in front of her son and daughter.

"Go and get the land deeds for the silk shop in the south of the city and the fifty acres of land in the suburbs. Oh, and also get the land deed for the tea shop in Jiangnan."

"Granny Cui, instruct everyone in the manor that Xiao Qingzhi is no longer a member of the Xiao family and that he is not allowed to enter the house from now on. Xiao Huaizhi will be the eldest young master from now on."

"Jixiang, give my name card to the Second Master and have him go to the government office to separate Xiao Qingzhi from the Xiao family register."

After Ruyi found the three land deeds she had been asked to take, Cui Yao glanced at them but did not take them. Instead, she let Xiao Huaizhi take them: "Huaizhi, you handle this matter. Take the land deeds to Steward Li and have him go with you to transfer the land deeds to your elder brother, um, to his name."

Xiao Huaizhi felt as if the few sheets of paper in his hand weighed a ton. He said in a somber tone, "Mother, give them to your son. Don't worry about these things. Just take good care of yourself."

With the help of her maid, Cui Yao lay down flat, closed her eyes, and whispered, "Don't be soft-hearted!"

"it is good."
