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

Finally, the Crown Princess reprimanded Lady An, deducted her monthly allowance, confined her to her quarters, and made Lady An kowtow to Lan Wan'er to beg for forgiveness.

Lan Wan'er made no attempt to hide her impatience as she stormed back to the courtyard, taking Jinshu and Qinghe into the warm pavilion.

"master?"

Upon entering the warm pavilion, Lan Wan'er's expression softened, and she took off her cloak.

"It's alright, let them in later." Lan Wan'er waved her hand; she wasn't going to get angry over such a small matter.

She is now trying to cultivate a persona for herself that is hot-tempered and straightforward, but never confused on important matters.

"What should we do with Yunxiu? Should we leave her in the yard?"

A moment later, Granny Qiu from outside reported, "Your Highness, the Inner Court Division has arrived."

Lan Wan'er nodded to Jin Shu, who opened the door and went out, saying, "Come in."

A head maidservant entered: "Greetings, Lady Consort. His Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that you be assigned a head maidservant and a palace maid. I have selected a few sensible ones to bring along. Would you like to choose?"

"Granny, you must have excellent taste to work in the Inner Court. Our master just looks at whoever catches his eye," Jinshu replied with a smile.

"You flatter me, young lady. I'm just old and worn out," the head maid replied with a smile.

"However, we are only sending one aunt out, so we have enough slots for palace maids."

"Eunuch Liang instructed that if Consort Liang felt there were not enough people, it wouldn't hurt to keep one more senior maid."

Lan Wan'er spoke up: "Thank you for your kindness, Eunuch Liang and this nanny. This is such a small courtyard, how can there be so much work? It's enough. Jinshu, go and choose a head aunt to stay."

According to palace rules, concubines cannot be surrounded by inexperienced maids; they need two experienced nannies or aunts. Alternatively, one nanny like Qiu would suffice.

She didn't expect the people around her to be particularly considerate; she just wanted them to manage the household chores and not betray her.

Jinshu agreed, and as she walked out with the head maid of the Inner Court, she slipped a purse into her hand: "It's so cold, you must be tired from making that trip, head maid. Have some hot tea when you get back."

The head maidservant verbally declined, saying, "What are you saying, young lady? It's just my duty."

He quickly twirled the purse in his hand, his smile widening.

"This servant entered the palace with my mistress and is not familiar with the people in the palace. Please explain in detail, Granny." Jinshu stuffed the purse into her sleeve.

"Of course." The head maid readily accepted the purse.

During the introductions, the person standing third was highlighted. Due to a family tragedy, she had few relatives outside the palace. She had been in the palace for eight years and had served a deceased concubine.

Jinshu, understanding the implied meaning of the song, took the opportunity to keep Aunt Chang.

An hour later, Aunt Chang, having retrieved her personal belongings, entered the warm pavilion to pay her respects to Lan Wan'er.

Lan Wan'er sat on the soft couch reading a book. After watching her perform the grand ceremony, she said kindly, "Get up. Auntie has just arrived. Settle her in properly and she can come back to work tomorrow. Granny Qiu, please help Auntie Chang get settled in."

"Thank you for your kindness, Lady Xie." Aunt Chang kowtowed again and followed Granny Qiu out.

Qinghe spoke up: "Master, shall we have Anlu inquire about this Aunt Chang?"

"Okay, go ahead, no rush, take your time to inquire," Lan Wan'er said calmly. There shouldn't be any major problems; Liang Yongfu personally gave the order, so the Inner Court wouldn't dare to cause any trouble.

The days passed by at a leisurely pace. Before the New Year, Lan Wan'er summoned her two sisters-in-law to the palace once again.

"How is my mother? Is she making a fuss? Did she eat the tonics I sent back a while ago?" Lan Wan'er asked Tian Shi as her first question. Although she didn't like Tian Shi, she was, after all, the original owner's mother.

As a concubine of the Crown Prince, she had to ask questions frequently to keep her two sisters-in-law alert and prevent them from harming Tian.

"Don't worry, Lady Hou is fine. She was ill for a few days after the Marquis left, but she has recovered. She has also taken the tonics that Lady Hou bestowed upon her and said they were very good," the Lady of the Heir replied frankly.

"That's good. Keep an eye on the Tian family and make sure they don't have any more unrealistic ideas."

"Don't worry, Liangyuan, we will definitely not let them cause any more trouble."

Actually, the best way to deal with a teammate like the Tian family, who dares to think of anything but can't do anything right, is to make him disappear. However, given Lan Wan'er's status, it's not appropriate for her to say such a thing.

The two young mistresses of the Lan family came here this time mainly to deliver income to Lan Wan'er. The estates and shops in her dowry are all profitable. It is inconvenient for her to manage them in the palace, and she cannot completely hand them over to servants. It is mainly up to her family to take care of them.

Although Madam Tian was not good at business, she was backed by the Marquis's mansion, so no one dared to cheat her. Her profits were only average, and the two young mistresses added some more.

"Lady, since you're in the palace, it's inconvenient to have those kinds of foods sent in. We've replaced them with gold, silver, jewelry, and fabrics for you," the Crown Prince's wife explained as she handed over the account book.

The original owner had only been in the palace for half a year, and this was her first time spending the New Year in the palace, so she didn't have much of a concept of the potential profits from her dowry.

"Your sisters-in-law are so thoughtful," Lan Wan'er nodded in thanks.

Jinshu stepped forward and took the account book.

"Is there any news about Father and my brothers?" Lan Wan'er asked.

"Yes, after Father arrived, he caught a slight cold. Your brothers are young and strong, and they are all fine."

"That's good. Father is getting old, and he's worried about not having anyone to take care of him. My mother in the capital is also very concerned. When the war eases and the weather gets warmer, Mother can go and keep Father company."

The Crown Prince's wife's eyes flickered slightly: "I'm afraid the Lady of the Marquis is not used to the climate of the Northern Frontier. My second brother's wife and I are young, so it won't hurt for us to go and take a look."

"There is also a Marshal's Mansion in the Northern Frontier. I heard my grandmother say when I was young that the Marshal's Mansion is even bigger than the Marquis's Mansion in the capital. It also has servants and maids. It shouldn't be difficult to adapt. I suppose you two sisters-in-law are worried about your brothers. It would be good to go and take care of them. However, the children are too young to take with them. Are you sure you're okay with that?" Lan Wan'er said, getting to the point.

The Tian family must go; only by leaving can they prevent the Tian family from using her identity to do anything.

The two sisters-in-law can go if they want, but the child cannot be taken away. Given His Highness's temperament, he would be worried if the Lan family left her and his second uncle's family in the capital.

At the very least, they can't all leave right away.

Lan's second uncle was the Marquis's full brother, but he was born with a bone structure problem and could not practice martial arts. He had limited talent and could not pursue the path of a civil official. Fortunately, he was kind and gentle and lived a peaceful life in the Marquis's mansion.

The second young mistress gritted her teeth: "At worst, my sister-in-law and I will take turns going, and my second uncle can also take care of the children."

"That's true. When I was at home, all I did was eat and play. I wonder if any of my uncle's brothers like to practice martial arts?"

"Yes, my eldest cousin is a good prospect. He was personally taught by my father. However, he has only been married for three months, so it is not appropriate for him to leave immediately. My second uncle said that he will send him to the northern frontier next spring."

"That's good. With a man to take care of you, your journey will be safer."
