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

After resting for a while, Chu Lanyu accepted her second mission, a mission from an ancient noblewoman.

This noble lady, for some reason, became depressed to the point of becoming somatic. She committed suicide by drowning herself. Her soul wandered for a while, witnessing the lives of her mother and son. Overwhelmed with remorse, she was noticed by the Time and Space Administration, which took on her case.

Upon opening her eyes, she found herself in the body of Lu Zhiyao, a noblewoman from ancient times. She tried to lift her arms but found them somewhat weak, so she simply maintained her reclining posture and absorbed the plot in her mind.

This dynasty is the Li Dynasty. The Lu family is a prestigious family that has been passed down for generations. Their ancestral home is Yunfeng. Two branches of the family serve as officials in the capital. Lu Zhiyao's father is currently the Minister of the Court. Although her mother, Lady Fan, does not come from a prominent family, when the current emperor was a prince, she was sent by the late emperor to guard the frontier. She was plotted against by villains. At that time, the empress, who was still a princess at the time, was pregnant and surrounded by dangers. Lady Fan and her husband happened to be stationed there. Seeing the urgency of the situation, they went to the palace to take care of the princess and entrusted their youngest daughter to a servant, who was Lu Zhiyao. Unfortunately, they entrusted her to the wrong person. Little Zhiyao was prone to crying, so the servant used adult calming incense on her, which caused her to be somewhat slow in her thinking.

Unfortunately, the slow-witted Xiao Zhiyao had an extremely sensitive heart. Faced with her quick-witted older siblings and clever peers, she gradually became depressed after returning to the capital. She was constantly taking medicine, and by the time of her marriage, her physical manifestations had already appeared, but she hid it well, making herself even slower. This vicious cycle, coupled with the hormonal control during pregnancy and childbirth, made her condition worse and worse.

Today is the day the original owner was preparing to drown herself in the lake. She has lost control of her behavior and if she does anything indecent in public, it will bring shame to her family.

After Lu Zhiyao's death, both families believed that she had made a mistake, and the matter was forgotten. Her husband's second wife ruined her son. Her mother, Fan, was immersed in grief over the loss of her daughter and became increasingly confused and mean. Although she was still living a life of luxury, all her other children had become estranged from her. When she died, only a few servants were by her side.

Lu Zhiyao slowly propped herself up with her hands, got off the soft couch, slipped on her shoes, and walked to the door while holding onto her belongings. This body hadn't eaten properly for a long time, and she was panting after just a few steps. She decided to end her life and tried to send all the servants away. She didn't like having servants standing in the room all the time, and the servants had gotten used to it and left as she pleased.

There was a small pond in the courtyard where she lived, with running water at both the inlet and outlet. The original owner of this body drowned in that not-too-deep pond, which shows how much determination she had made.

Lu Zhiyao moved her feet and sat down under the covered walkway, enjoying the fresh air. To be honest, the scenery of this courtyard was really nice, revealing ingenuity everywhere. Entering the courtyard through the main gate, there was a screen wall with a hollowed-out design of flowers and birds. Passing around the screen wall, directly opposite the main hall was a small, exquisite bridge with koi carp swimming in the stream below. To the left of the bridge was a small garden composed of various unique flowers and trees. To the right of the bridge, near the courtyard wall, was the small pond. Passing through the main hall, there was the main bedroom of the courtyard. There were side halls and wing rooms on the east and west sides, and a rear building and so on at the back.

Suddenly, the sound of a child crying came from the small garden. Lu Zhiyao waited for a while, but the crying didn't stop; in fact, it became even more shrill. Veins bulged on her forehead. She reached out and grabbed a pillar beside her, mustered all her strength, and shouted in the direction of the crying, "Bring the child out here!"

After shouting, everything went black before her eyes, and she started hearing ringing in her ears. She quickly tried to stay still to recover, as her body was too weak.

Upon hearing the sound, the two wet nurses' expressions changed. They quickly put away their nonchalant attitude, stepped forward, picked up the young master, and comforted him. Then, they carefully carried the young master, whose crying had gradually subsided, and walked around the grapevines that were blocking their view.

Seeing that only the Fifth Madam was sitting on the veranda, he breathed a sigh of relief. This Madam was aloof and didn't care about anything. If it weren't for the capable head steward sent by her family, the courtyard would have been in chaos long ago. Now that the head steward, Madam Tao, was not here, she naturally didn't take it seriously.

After recovering, Lu Zhiyao, relying on the original owner's memories, knew that these were her son's two wet nurses, and gently said, "Put Ning'er down."

"Fifth Madam, young master Zining is quite naughty these days. You are not well, so please don't upset him. Let me carry him instead."

"You, put the child here with me. You, go and find Steward Tao." Lu Zhiyao's mind had changed. She looked at the two women with sharp eyes. She was the master who could decide their fate with just a word. The two wet nurses were startled and reluctantly followed her instructions.

A moment later, Madam Tao returned hurriedly from outside. She first straightened her clothes at the bottom of the steps, then slowly walked up the steps and bowed according to etiquette: "Madam, are you still not asleep?"

The original owner dismissed her by saying she wanted to sleep for a while.

"Help me inside, get me some porridge, and bring Ning'er in." Lu Zhiyao reached out her hand.

Tao gestured to her maid Chunmei to take the young master inside, while she stepped forward to support her mistress. Xiahe cleverly headed towards the small kitchen.

The two wet nurses exchanged a glance and followed them inside.

Lu Zhiyao sat in her usual small, warm room. The place was dark and cramped, and the original owner had ordered the curtains on the windows to be drawn.

"It's a bit stuffy if I open the window."

"Yes, it's a bit muggy today, I'm afraid it will rain tonight," Tao replied. Qiuju and Dongxue, who were behind her, stepped forward and pulled open the curtain and the window, making the room bright.

"Those two who neglected their master, get out." Lu Zhiyao then pointed to the wet nurses standing by the door.

Tao's expression changed. She turned to look at the two people who were shrinking back and said indifferently, "Go stand outside."

Lu Zhiyao shook her head inwardly. How could the original owner be such a mistress? If Tao had any disloyal intentions, she wouldn't be able to command her servants.

No rush. In ancient times, class distinctions were difficult to overcome. She is the master, and as long as she stands firm, she can easily handle a few servants. The most important thing right now is to take care of her health, otherwise she won't have the strength to throw a tantrum.

"Ning'er, why were you crying just now?" Lu Zhiyao asked gently to the boy who was being obediently held by the maid. This was one of her tasks in this world.

Two-year-old Zhou Zining stared blankly at her somewhat unfamiliar mother, remaining silent.

"Check if he has any injuries?"

Tao instinctively made the decision: "The two wet nurses probably wouldn't dare to lay a hand on the young master."

"Butler Tao, are you giving me pointers?" The woman who spoke said this with her head slightly lowered and her voice soft and gentle.

Tao immediately knelt down: "This servant dares not."

She wasn't afraid of the Fifth Madam in front of her; she was soft-hearted and easily swayed, and a few words of pleading would suffice. However, she was afraid of the Fifth Madam's family. The Lu family had only sent her over after the Fifth Madam got married and had children. If the Fifth Madam went back and acted coquettishly, her entire extended family in the Lu family would be doomed.
