The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Mrs. Zhu’s face was extremely grim.

A pile of porcelain shards lay at her feet, all smashed in her fit of rage.

”Is the master going to raise that lowly woman as an equal wife?”

Mrs. Zhu gritted her teeth: ”I knew it, I knew it would come to this.”

She slammed the table fiercely: ”Send a message to the Eldest Young Master, tell him about this matter.”

The maid serving Mrs. Zhu quickly took a Communication Talisman and went out to notify Zhu Anshun, the Zhu Family’s heir.

When she returned, she appeared noticeably more relaxed: ”Madam, the Eldest Young Master said he knows, and he’ll be back soon. The Eldest Young Master also said that if Madam is feeling upset, she should return to her family’s home for some time, and he will pick Madam up when he returns.”

”Hmm.”

Mrs. Zhu nodded: ”Quickly pack my things, I’m returning to my family’s home.”

Immediately, an old woman ran out to deliver the message to the Feng Family.

Several maids hurriedly packed some of Mrs. Zhu’s commonly used items into a Storage Bag for her, then went outside to find the steward in charge of preparing the vehicle.

Feng Family

Old Mrs. Feng had been feeling uneasy these past few days.

Mainly because Mr. Feng was still so flirtatious despite his age, having recently brought home a new concubine. Furthermore, one of his favored concubines had given birth to a son, almost angering Old Mrs. Feng to death.

Despite his age and even having great-grandchildren, he still went and had a little brat, truly having no shame.

While she was still simmering with anger, Nanny Bai, who had accompanied Mrs. Zhu in marriage to the Zhu Family, returned to inform her that Family Head Zhu was going to raise Mrs. Feng as an equal wife.

This almost caused Old Mrs. Feng to explode.

”Fine, fine, they’re clearly trying to bully us mother and daughter.”

Old Mrs. Feng slapped the table and cursed angrily: ”That Zhu has no conscience. When he became Family Head, our Feng Family put in so much effort, and now he’s going to raise a lowly woman as an equal wife. Is he looking down on our Feng Family, or is he deliberately trying to humiliate us?”

Old Mrs. Feng sent someone to call Mr. Feng over.

Mr. Feng took a long time to arrive.

Despite her fury, Old Mrs. Feng had to endure and speak to Mr. Feng.

”Husband, our daughter has been bullied, we can’t just sit idly by...”

When she explained the matter of Family Head Zhu wanting to raise Aunt Feng as an equal wife, not only did Mr. Feng not get angry, but he smiled cheerfully: ”It’s a good thing, you go pack some things to send to the Zhu Family, say it’s to congratulate Mrs. Feng. Also, take the Eldest Son’s Wife to visit the Zhu Family, remember to bring some gifts for Anning...”

Old Mrs. Feng looked at Mr. Feng with a face of shock: ”Are you crazy? Or is your brain damaged? He wants to raise Mrs. Feng as an equal wife, how will our daughter manage? This is attacking our Feng Family’s reputation.”

Mr. Feng waved his hand: ”You can’t say it like that. Our son-in-law raising an equal wife is a result of many considerations. This matter benefits both the Zhu Family and ours. You women have small minds and don’t understand the intricacies inside. You need not worry about this, tell our daughter to stay calm, and later be good to Mrs. Feng and Anning.”

Old Mrs. Feng’s vision went black; she gritted her teeth to avoid passing out.

”You old fool, you muddled thing, you...”

Old Mrs. Feng pointed at Mr. Feng and cursed loudly.

Mr. Feng’s face immediately fell: ”Incomprehensible nonsense, there’s no point in explaining it to you, forget it, I’ll take the Eldest to go and see.”

The reason Mr. Feng could tolerate Family Head Zhu raising Mrs. Feng as an equal wife was because he was aware that during Anning’s Nascent Soul Tribulation, Family Head Feng was present. He also knew Anning had become a Nascent Soul Ancestor.

In the face of such powerful strength, Family Head Feng would absolutely not think of opposing Anning. He was also trying various ways to build relations with the Zhu Family, hoping to get closer to Anning.

Not just an equal wife, even if Anning wanted Family Head Zhu to divorce Mrs. Zhu, Family Head Feng would definitely have nothing to say.

What else could he do but endure?

That’s a Nascent Soul Ancestor, a finger could wipe him out; would he sacrifice the entire Feng Family for a sister he didn’t have much feeling for? That’s impossible.

Mr. Feng left angrily, and Old Mrs. Feng said: ”Nanny Bai, hurry, go and fetch my Rong’er back.”

Meanwhile, at the Zhu Family, Mrs. Zhu was leading a group of servants towards the gate.

As she reached the courtyard gate, she saw a large group approaching.

Among them were those she knew like Family Head Liu and Family Head Wu, and some Loose Cultivators, but many were unfamiliar to her.

”Sister-in-law, where are you headed?”

Family Head Liu greeted Mrs. Zhu with a smile.

Mrs. Zhu smiled and returned the salute: ”I miss my parents dearly, and now I’m taking the chance to visit home.”

”Safe travels, sister-in-law.”

Family Head Wu also smiled and greeted.

Mrs. Zhu carried a smile, but only after these people entered did she hastily board the carriage.

Family Head Zhu was still reminiscing with Aunt Feng when a maid hurriedly ran in: ”Master, Family Head Liu, Family Head Wu, and many others have come seeking you. The steward arranged them in the outer study...”

Family Head Zhu quickly stood up: ”Let the steward entertain them for now, I will go immediately.”

Aunt Feng rose to escort Family Head Zhu out.

After watching him leave, Aunt Feng turned back and said to Anning: ”See, your father is truly a cold-hearted person.”

Anning helped Aunt Feng sit down: ”Mother, I’m very aware.”

Aunt Feng looked at Anning, humor finally lighting her eyes: ”My child has promise, and managed to win the title of equal wife for me.”

She lightly asked Anning: ”Has your cultivation improved again? Which layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage are you on now?”

Anning waved her hand, sitting beside Aunt Feng, and softly whispered something.

Aunt Feng was startled for a long time: ”Really, truly? You’ve already passed the Nascent Soul, the Nascent Soul Tribulation?”

Anning took out the Spirit Rain she collected and handed it to Aunt Feng: ”Aunt, use it for bathing; this is the Spirit Rain that fell from the sky after the Nascent Soul Tribulation, beneficial to Aunt.”

Aunt Feng accepted the Spirit Rain, laughing to herself.

She laughed for a long time.

Her heart was an explosion of joy, shock, and a feeling of lightness, as if expelling a deep breath.

”Ningning.”

After laughing, Aunt Feng hugged Anning: ”We’ve made it through, truly made it through, from now on, neither you nor I will have to fear anyone. In front of others, you can openly call me mother, without having to hide... In this Zhu Family, there’s no one who can bully us again.”

Aunt Feng cried and laughed; after her tears dried, she took Anning’s hand, wanting to reminisce, but at that moment, several maids entered with a pile of things.

”Madam, Second Miss, these are gifts from the Family Heads and a few Loose Cultivators, Master said for Madam and Second Miss to accept them.”

Aunt Feng had already wiped her tears, and there was a hint of a smile on her face: ”Place them on the table, I’ll organize them shortly.”

The maids placed over ten Storage Bags and some odds and ends on the table.

Aunt Feng gestured for Anning to collect the items.

With a wave of her hand, Anning gathered all the items.

Aunt Feng then sent the maids away, talking quietly with Anning.

Anning knew Aunt Feng had some secret matters to discuss, and she waved her hand to set up a Barrier to prevent outsiders from hearing their conversation.
