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

"Are the maids in this household under a fixed contract or a flexible contract?"

"Those who serve you personally are bound by a life-or-death contract." The implication is that the rest are not.

A short while later, the steward returned and said that the maid had disappeared before lunchtime.

Lock up all the servants.

The butler hesitated for a moment: "Master, perhaps we should keep a few of the personal attendants. After all, someone still needs to take care of our food and clothing."

"Please select carefully."

Wu Yuan lowered her eyes, thinking to herself, "Once you've mastered martial arts and gained a certain status in the martial arts world, you just want to live a life where you can be bossed around by servants. But you don't know how to manage so many servants. Take the matter of the young master being poisoned, for example, from the perspective of a truly established family."

Leaving aside the food that entered the mouth from outside, the servants at home—who prepared the young master's food, and who handled it—were all locked up and interrogated on the very day the poisoning was confirmed.

Let alone just last winter, even a year later, the number of people who handled the master's food is still considerable.

"How is Yun Fengming doing?" Wu Yuan asked Wenren Ming after seeing that the Yun family members had all left.

"He's unconscious; his condition isn't good."

"Has someone poisoned him again?"

"Yes, but this time it wasn't the Frost Poison, but a common poison that triggered the Frost Poison's counterattack."

"Doesn't the young master of the Yun family have even this much sense of caution?"

"This time, someone inserted a silver needle into the back of his neck, and he was probably powerless to resist."

"Strange, given that they could have done so much around him, killing him outright would have been easy, but they didn't. Were they just torturing him? Letting him suffer terribly before he died?"

"Yunfeng is the martial arts alliance leader's junior brother, but Alliance Leader Guo has more than one junior brother. Only he is far away from his sect, settled in Yangcheng, and has such a large family business." Wenren Ming seemed to be only stating the surface situation, but the meaning he was expressing was already very clear.

"It's not that he has a very good relationship with Leader Guo."

"Yes, they have a very good relationship and don't have any conflicts with their sect. It's said that they keep in very close contact."

Wu Yuan glanced at him. Wenren Ming took off his coat and shoes, lay down beside her, and said calmly, "You still have to give me some face as the leader of the martial arts alliance, but I am just a doctor, and there are always things I cannot do."

Neither of them said it aloud, but they both agreed that Yunfeng was probably doing private work for their sect and for Alliance Leader Guo.

Wu Yuanchun guessed that Wenren Ming knew more about the secrets of the martial arts world, and he was basically certain of that.

That's how the martial arts world is. It's always a matter of one side prevailing over the other, and another taking the stage. You killed my family, so I'll seek revenge, and then your descendants will seek revenge on me, until one side is wiped out completely.

Guo, the leader, isn't particularly magnanimous, but he's quite righteous, much better than the previous leader.

Ok?

Wenren Ming suddenly opened his eyes. The previous one? The previous leader of the martial arts alliance did many heinous things. He was directly challenged and killed, but his family seemed to have died quite tragically.

From the second day onwards, Wenren Ming took Wu Yuan with him wherever he went.

Wu Yuan cooperated; he administered acupuncture and tested medicine on Yun Fengming, while she cultivated her internal energy nearby. The only downside was that Yun Fengming's room was too hot.

Yun Fengming's breath grew weaker and weaker, and the atmosphere in the Yun family became increasingly somber. Wenren Ming had already begun using life-extending acupuncture techniques.

"This servant is here on the orders of the madam to deliver ginseng," a maid's voice came from outside.

That sound?

Wu Yuan stood up abruptly and walked to Wenren Ming's side. He was just finishing the last injection and putting it into the basin of wine to disinfect it. She tugged at his sleeve.

"Hmm?" Wenren Ming asked, his eyes questioning.

The maid who delivered the ginseng had already entered, and Wu Yuan took a step closer to him.

Wenren Ming reflexively pulled her behind him and became wary. His two subordinates in the corner tacitly stopped the maid who was delivering the ginseng.

The maidservant, carrying a tray, bowed her head and trembled slightly, her voice quivering just right: "This servant...this servant is here on the orders of the madam to deliver ginseng."

"Let's put them aside," Wenren Ming said calmly, picking up a few silver needles.

"The lady said she would like the renowned physician to personally inspect the goods."

"Oh, let me see." Wenren Ming took a step forward and pushed Wu Yuan back with one hand.

Perhaps out of fear of Wenren Ming and his two subordinates' martial arts skills, the maid didn't make any unnecessary movements. After examining the ginseng, she neatly placed it aside and withdrew.

Before leaving, he quickly glanced around the room.

Wenren Ming calmly watched the maid's retreating figure, then gave one of his subordinates a wink, and the subordinate silently followed.

Inside the room, Wenren Ming leaned close to Wu Yuan's ear and whispered, "Is it her?"

"Yes, the second person who appeared, the voice is definitely right," Wu Yuan affirmed, and the appearance was also correct.

"You've suffered these past few days, but it'll be over soon," Wenren Ming said gently, stroking her hand.

Wu Yuan did not withdraw her hand. She glanced at the withered Yun Fengming on the bed and clearly felt the passing of life.

The results came out quickly. Yunfeng's wife was pinned to the ground, laughing wildly: "Hahaha, it's me! Who told you, Yunfeng, that old bastard, to succumb to the temptation of beauty?"

"I've treated you well," Yunfeng said, his face turning pale with anger.

"Not bad? You old geezer, I'm a young woman, and I'm forced to be with a lousy old man like you. Every morning when I wake up, I feel nauseous for a while." A look of disgust appeared on the woman's beautiful face.

Wenren Ming asked impatiently, "What's your relationship with the previous leader of the martial arts alliance?"

"He is my father. Originally, I could choose any of the rising stars in the martial arts world, but now I can only serve an old man in anonymity."

"So you came here to harm my son?"

The woman gave him a disdainful look: "What are you pretending to be a good person for? Don't you know why I would harm your son? All the bad things were done by my father, yet you let him die honorably. You used every means to get rid of his family members. What kind of reputable family are you? You're nothing but a bunch of charlatans, especially you, you old scoundrel, you're the one with the most tricks."

Wu Yuan looked at Yun Feng, whose face was gloomy. She couldn't believe it; he looked so respectable.

"Hmph, he massacred my hometown village. Those villagers, who were powerless to even kill a chicken, were killed simply because they witnessed him killing their fellow disciples." Yunfeng's eyes were bloodshot; the firelight of that night was forever imprinted on his soul.

To cover up his crimes, the former leader of the martial arts alliance killed all the villagers and his own subordinates, and then set fire to the entire village. Their village was a very remote mountain village, and by the time the government received the news and went to investigate, it was too late, and the case could only be left unsolved.
