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

"Lord of the City," Ling Zi'an, who entered first, bowed to the person in the main seat, "we are, after all, members of the Ling family genealogy, so please be careful with your words, Lord of the City."

"There are many members of the Ling family. My father is a young master from the Wen family and the head of the household. Your father, a prostitute from the Red Chamber, is an insult to my father if you compare him to him."

Shu Zhiyi didn't know what grudge existed between the siblings, but to humiliate her own brother in front of an outsider like her showed that the city lord wasn't shrewd enough.

Ling Zian's expression remained unchanged, and his voice remained calm: "My father also had a marriage contract."

"A mother who loves beauty will not last long if she uses her looks to please men."

Ling Zian was somewhat annoyed. This Ling Anran had been attacking them with her family background since childhood, and she hadn't improved at all over the years. If it weren't for the Wen family's intervention, he and Ziyu wouldn't have been forced to come to Qing Shi City with Ling Anran.

Ziyu will not suffer from a broken spiritual sea, leaving her unable to walk properly.

"What business does the city lord have with us brothers?"

"Oh, in order to prevent you from becoming a disgrace to the Ling family by not being able to get married, I have decided to marry you off. This Miss Shu is an orphan whose parents have died, whose family fortune has been exhausted, and who is still unmarried. Most importantly, she has been blessed by the gods and is about to settle down in Qing Shi City. She is more than a match for you, who has a child to support."

Shu Zhiyi: "..."

That city lord is really annoying!

Emphasizing her orphan background, implying that she shouldn't even think about refusing, using divine blessings to elevate her status while simultaneously belittling her two younger brothers, so that even if she marries them, the three of them will still feel awkward together.

Ling Ziyu's eyes turned red with anger. She gripped the handles and tried to stand up: "You can't control my brother. I'll die right now and never hold my brother back."

Ling Zian took two steps back, pressed his younger brother's shoulder, and looked around between Ling Anran and Shu Zhiyi.

"Ms. Shu, do you agree?"

Ling Ziyu looked over expectantly.

Shu Zhiyi: "As an orphan girl without a registered residence, I seem to have no power to refuse."

Every path has its end, and she doesn't have the leverage to fight back now. Lowering her head isn't a big deal.

Ling Ziyu's eyes dimmed.

Ling Zian's knuckles turned white as he pressed his hand on his younger brother's shoulder, but his words were calm and composed: "I can agree, but you also have to promise me that you won't stop me from taking care of Ziyu."

Ling Ziyu struggled for a moment, but her brother pressed her down. Tears streamed down her face, and her body slumped down.

"Can."

Ling Anran watched with amusement as Ling Ziyu was heartbroken and Ling Zian's expression grew increasingly calm.

Shu Zhiyi had already spoken to her: "City Lord, let's talk about their dowries."

Ling Anran's pleasant expression faded slightly: "Oh, Miss Shu, don't worry, everything you need will be provided."

"What kind of dowry will you bring? I'm penniless right now and I'm eager to know what kind of dowry the two young masters will bring." Shu Zhiyi pressed on.

Ling Anran glanced at Shu Zhiyi dismissively. Sure enough, she came from a small town and had never seen the world. She was so openly asking for a dowry. However, she was happy as long as those two little beasts had a hard time.

"I'll have the steward draft the dowry list right away."

"Lord of the city, the Ling family is a large family, their dowry must be substantial, right? You won't withhold the dowry from the two young masters just because I don't have a family to back me up, will you?" Shu Zhiyi tried her best to appear mercenary and greedy.

"Miss Shu is joking. How could that be? How could our Ling family be short of dowries for two young masters? The dowries will be given to you directly at that time."

"That's good."

Ling Anran was somewhat displeased, and glanced at Ling Zian out of the corner of her eye: "Miss Shu, the biological fathers of my two younger brothers are somewhat... well, as a woman myself, I can understand you. I'll have someone strip them naked and examine them right now."

Ling Zian's expression, which had remained unchanged, finally cracked slightly.

"Lord of the city, I know I am of lowly status, but isn't it a bit much for you to humiliate me like this?" Shu Zhiyi questioned with a stern face.

"What?"

"Just now, was my marriage with the two young masters finalized?"

"yes?"

"So, you're going to order someone to strip my fiancé naked in public? There's a temple right next door; I'll go ask the gods whether they'll bless me or bring me misfortune!"

"How dare you! You think you can just ask about the gods like that?"

"Why is the city lord so agitated? The young master of the Ling family has not yet formed a pact with me. My actions have nothing to do with the Ling family. Even if the gods are angry, they will only punish me," Shu Zhiyi said calmly.

"The gods protect all living beings; how dare you harbor such disrespectful thoughts?"

"No, it's just that after being blessed by the gods, the city lord seems to have brought me bad luck instead, and I don't want this blessing anymore."

"I," Ling Anran stammered, somewhat speechless.

The atmosphere became somewhat tense. The steward, who had been waiting at the door, spoke up: "Lord, why don't you have the two young masters go and form a bond with Miss Shu now?"

Ling Ziyu turned around and glared angrily at the butler.

"Okay," Ling Anran agreed.

"No." Shu Zhiyi refused, "I will not enter into a contract until the dowries of the two young masters are finalized."

Ling Anran hated her mercenary nature, but she was also pleased by her greed. This kind of person would keep the dowry of the two little beasts firmly in her hands, and she would be happy as long as they were not doing well.

Ling Zian was quite talented, and his elders in the family cared about him. Otherwise, she would have gone to such lengths to kill him long ago.

After leaving the city lord's mansion, Shu Zhiyi did not test her talent. Instead, she went to a bookstore, bought some books, found a small shop, had lunch, and then strolled back to her courtyard.

At the corner of the alley, Kong Sen and his three brothers stood guard.

"Miss Shu, these are my brothers, ranging in age from 15 to 21. Take a look and see which one you like."

Shu Zhiyi: "..."

"Sorry, I already have two fiancés, so you guys shouldn't waste your time here."

"Huh? This, in just one morning?" Kong Sen exclaimed incredulously.

"Some unexpected things happened, and I had to agree," Shu Zhiyi said vaguely.

The Kong brothers' thoughts went astray. Who was it? Why was it so ruthless? Was she really going to sacrifice her chastity like that? You have to understand, not all women would marry a man who has lost his virginity before marriage, even if that man lost his virginity to her.

At that time, other women will not want him. If he is talented, at least he can team up with others to hunt and will not be easily taken advantage of. If he is not talented, it will be troublesome. His reputation will be ruined and his family will not tolerate him. His fate will be very tragic.

Shu Zhiyi didn't notice their expressions and left in a hurry. She still had many things to sort out. Let's not talk about the two she was forced to marry. She didn't want to have anything to do with others for the time being.
