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

The city lord's mansion acted very quickly, delivering the dowry list the very next afternoon. The steward not only brought the dowry list but also the two Ling brothers.

"The city lord's idea is to let Miss Shu get to know the two young masters."

Shu Zhiyi sat at the stone table in the courtyard, carefully looking through two dowry lists without saying a word, leaving the steward standing there.

"Miss Shu, did you understand what I said?"

"Butler, are you questioning me or ordering me around? I know you don't respect me, but I am, after all, the one who is going to marry your young master. Please play the role of a subordinate on the surface."

"I am the city lord's steward, and the two young masters..."

"The head of your Ling family doesn't acknowledge these two young masters? They're not listed in the family register?"

"Of course not."

"Then what right do you, a mere subordinate of the Ling family, have to look down on the young master who is listed in the family genealogy? Is this the rule of your Ling family?"

The butler was caught off guard and didn't know how to respond. After a while, he finally spoke: "They're going to marry you soon."

"Oh, so you're from the Shu family. May I ask, what gives you the right to look down on the Shu family?"

"you,"

"I know I'm just an orphan with nothing, but I've been blessed by the gods. Why don't I go to the temple of the gods?"

"Miss Shu," the butler interrupted her, "would you please get acquainted with the two young masters?"

"Fine, then why are you still here, getting in my way?"

"City Lord,"

"What did the city lord want you to see? Me and my fiancé? Get out!" Shu Zhiyi didn't move, still holding the dowry list, but she looked directly at him, and her aura instantly rose.

The butler was startled and subconsciously turned and left as instructed. It wasn't until he was outside the courtyard that he realized how he could have been so intimidated by an orphan girl with weak spiritual power.

But he was already out, and he couldn't go back. He could only stare intently at the closed door.

The subordinate who was pushed out with him hesitated for a moment before cautiously asking, "Butler, are we supposed to wait here?"

People were already peeking at them from the alleyway.

The butler, finally finding an outlet for his anger, kicked the subordinate who had asked the question to the ground: "Wait for what? To guard the door for them? Do they even deserve to?"

The person who was kicked turned pale instantly, but without uttering a sound, he quickly got up and stood respectfully with his head bowed.

The butler snorted and turned to leave, with the person who had been kicked quickly following him.

Inside the courtyard, Shu Zhiyi saw one of her subordinates carrying Ling Ziyu. Reacting quickly, as the butler was stunned and turned to leave, she pushed and shoved the other person out and closed the courtyard gate.

There were five people in total: two young masters, two subordinates who carried people, and a butler.

Shu Zhiyi raised an eyebrow.

Ling Zian spoke up: "Li Wei is someone we brothers trust."

"Oh, then tell me about your situation." Shu Zhiyi turned her gaze to him: "Sit down."

Ling Zian sat on the stool opposite Shu Zhiyi: "Our biological father was very handsome, so handsome that our mother disregarded his status and the family's objections, brought him home, and even formed a marriage contract with him at the Marriage Bureau, giving birth to us. He was also regarded as a thorn in the side by the First Husband."

To enter into a marriage contract at the marriage office, both parties must be willing. Many women are not necessarily bound by a contract with the men in their lives. They have intimate relationships, but without a contract, the man cannot get pregnant. Such a relationship causes almost no harm to the woman. If she changes her mind, she can completely end the relationship.

Ling Zian continued, "I am a Martial Spirit Master with a superior talent, and I am already a fourth-level Martial Spirit Master. Ziyu is a Support Spirit Master with a superior talent, and she was a third-level Support Spirit Master before she was injured."

Shu Zhiyi was somewhat surprised. These two brothers were quite strong. Her mother was over fifty years old and only a fourth-level Martial Spirit Master, yet she had already built a family fortune.

"With our talent and strength, we could still attract the attention of the elders in the Ling family. So when Ling Anran came to Qing Shi City as the city lord, she tried her best to bring us here."

Five months ago, during one of his refining processes, Ziyu's cauldron exploded, triggering a chain reaction that destroyed his spiritual sea.

Not long ago, I received news that Miss Zhan, with whom I was engaged, married another young master from the Ling family, and our engagement was called off.

"The cauldron exploding will damage the spiritual sea?" Shu Zhiyi didn't believe this. Although she had only recently awakened her spiritual power and hadn't refined anything yet, her biological father was a support spirit master. Cauldron explosions had happened before, and she had never heard of any support spirit master being injured in a cauldron explosion.

"Normally, that wouldn't happen, but the materials that time were replaced; there was a Thunder Roar Beast's magic orb among them."

"They've really gone all out." Shu Zhiyi glanced at Ling Ziyu. Beasts produce spirit pearls in their bodies, which can be used to absorb and restore their own spiritual power. However, not all beasts have spirit pearls in their bodies. Some beasts have demon pearls in their bodies, which cannot be absorbed and can only be used to refine some things.

Thunder Roar Beast is very powerful; its roar can directly injure the spiritual sea, making it very difficult to hunt.

"Ling Anran has the backing of the Wen family; she's rich and powerful!" Ling Ziyu said sarcastically.

"So, what do you want to do?" Shu Zhiyi asked Ling Zian.

"I want to find the Zixian Grass." It's a sacred medicine for repairing the spiritual sea. "Of course, the process of finding the Zixian Grass won't interfere with the hunt, don't worry."

"Brother, you're really planning to marry her?" Ling Ziyu thought her clever brother had another plan, which was why she obediently came along today: "As long as I die, I won't implicate you anymore, and it will attract the attention of the main family. Ling Anran won't dare to touch you then."

"Tzuyu!"

Shu Zhiyi coldly said, "You're really something, threatening your enemy with your own life."

"What do you know? Do you know how hard my brother has worked?" Ling Ziyu shouted, her eyes red.

Shu Zhiyi spoke directly to the composed Ling Zi'an: "Do you want to be the city lord of Qing Shi City? Do you want real power within the Ling family?"

"After a man marries out, his family will not give him any rights." Ling Zian agreed to the marriage directly because in Qing Shi City, he needed to protect his and his brother's lives. He couldn't stay under Ling Anran's nose forever. Marrying someone who suddenly appeared was a risky move, but their situation was already very dangerous at the time. The power he had secretly cultivated was almost discovered.

"What if the child you have takes your surname?" This is a customary rule among several large families. If a man's child takes his surname, it means that he is still a member of the family and can compete for power.

However, the rule of the gods is that one cannot conceive without a vow of marriage, and few women who have married are willing to let their children take another man's surname. Therefore, for many years, very few men have been able to do this.

"Are you willing?"

"Okay, but you can't stop me from finding other men." Shu Zhiyi said firmly. Although women can have multiple husbands, if the first husband is too powerful, she can only marry the two who are basically responsible for the task. As for the others, you can keep them by your side, but you can't form a contract with them.
