The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Mrs. Zhu returned to the Feng Family, and upon entering saw Madam Feng, she hugged her and started to cry.

”Mother, my life is so bitter.”

Madam Feng was also distressed by Mrs. Zhu’s behavior.

”Both of us mother and daughter are the same, my dear child, you have suffered so much.”

The mother and daughter cried for a long time before they separated.

Mrs. Zhu washed her face and sat down. Madam Feng asked her, ”Did you find An Yue?”

Mentioning Zhu An Yue, Mrs. Zhu felt another wave of discomfort: ”I didn’t find her. I originally asked Anning to go to the mortal world to search, but she embarrassed me. I don’t know how she managed to stir up things, but the lord plans to elevate that vile Mrs. Feng as an equal wife.”

Madam Feng spoke hatefully: ”That little vile woman, I told you a long time ago that mother and daughter couldn’t be kept. That little woman seems honest and simple on the surface, but she is the most cunning one. I advised you to deal with her early, but you didn’t listen; now she has become a major threat.”

Mrs. Zhu’s face turned pale: ”It’s easy for you to say, Mother. That mother and daughter are protected by the lord, and there are those arranged by him around them. I can’t find the chance to act, and that little vile woman has grown up. She’s clever, and her cultivation progresses quickly. Her cultivation is even higher than mine. What can I do?”

Madam Feng thought for a while: ”Find a family to marry her off early. Without her, Mrs. Feng alone is easier to handle with you.”

Mrs. Zhu thought for a moment and nodded: ”That’s also true. I will find a family immediately, Mother. Do you have a suitable family in mind?”

Madam Feng thought for a while and laughed: ”Indeed, there is one.”

Madam Feng thought of a family not far from Sifang City, in Hongfeng City, with the surname Yu, a small noble family. The legitimate branch of the Yu family has a son named Yu He. This Yu He is good-looking, and his cultivation is high. At first glance, everything appears fine, and he seems to be a match for Anning. But internally, Yu He is unreliable, not only with a violent nature but also fond of men. If Anning marries someone like this, she may be ground down to death soon.

She shared this proposal with Mrs. Zhu, who became delighted: ”I’ll inquire and then discuss it with the lord...”

Mrs. Zhu hadn’t finished speaking when footsteps approached, followed by Mr. Feng and Family Head Feng entering the room one after the other.

Both had stern faces, with a hint of anger in their eyes.

”You’d better abandon your disgraceful ideas.”

Mr. Feng looked angrily at Madam Feng: ”You should stop causing trouble.”

Madam Feng stood up angrily, pointing at Mr. Feng’s nose and scolding: ”What do you mean? I’m scheming not for your concubines. Why are you so mad? Zhu Anning has nothing to do with you. She’s not your biological granddaughter. Why are you protecting her? Could it be because she’s good-looking...”

Infuriated by Madam Feng’s words, Mr. Feng slapped her.

Madam Feng hadn’t been hit for years; being slapped by Mr. Feng in front of her children, she lost all face. She was so ashamed and angry that she fainted.

Mrs. Zhu hurriedly went to help Madam Feng, her face anxious: ”Mother, Mother...”

Mr. Feng looked coldly at Mrs. Zhu: ”A married daughter shouldn’t keep running back to her natal home. Our home is in chaos; we don’t have time to host you. You should leave quickly.”

Mrs. Zhu looked at Mr. Feng in disbelief: ”Father, how... how can you be like this to me? Not only do you refuse to support me, but you also trample on my and Mother’s dignity. Do you intend not to let us live?”

Mr. Feng glanced at Family Head Feng: ”Go, send your sister back.”

Family Head Feng nodded and went to drag Mrs. Zhu outside.

Mrs. Zhu struggled desperately: ”I won’t leave. I won’t leave. I want to stay home. I won’t go back until that Zhu apologizes to me.”

”Ha.”

Mr. Feng sneered: ”You can stay if you want. But if you stay any longer, I’m afraid you won’t be able to go back.”

Mrs. Zhu was stunned.

Family Head Feng spoke softly: ”If you don’t return, your husband might divorce you and directly elevate Mrs. Feng as the legitimate wife.”

Mrs. Zhu’s head buzzed upon hearing this, nearly fainting from shock.

She was unwilling to believe: ”No, this isn’t true.”

Family Head Feng still felt some affection for this sister. He patiently explained: ”The Zhu Family is eager for you to make trouble. As soon as you stir things up, they’ll definitely divorce you. You probably don’t know, but Anning has already overcome the Nascent Soul Tribulation. The Zhu Family now can’t wait to worship her, and to keep her in the Zhu Family to gain more benefits, they probably can’t wait to elevate Mrs. Feng as the legitimate wife.”

Mrs. Zhu’s body swayed twice.

She steadied herself by grabbing onto a table.

”Really?”

Family Head Feng nodded.

Mrs. Zhu bit her lip.

Her mouth was filled with bitterness, and her heart felt even worse.

”I’ll go back now.”

She dared not make trouble anymore.

Even if she were foolish, she understood what a Nascent Soul Ancestor meant for the entire Zhu Family.

Mrs. Zhu knew if she escalated matters, making a spectacle, the Zhu Family divorcing her wouldn’t be the end of it. If she truly provoked Anning, it wasn’t just her life on the line; the entire Feng Family might be swallowed by the Zhu Family.

Family Head Feng escorted Mrs. Zhu back. Mr. Feng had Madam Feng carried to her room, giving her spiritual medicine to swallow. When she awoke, Mr. Feng sternly said: ”I told you to prepare things to congratulate the Zhu Family, but you’ve treated my words like air.”

Madam Feng closed her eyes without speaking.

Seeing her like this, Mr. Feng inexplicably felt vexed: ”Never mind, do whatever you want.”

He swung the door open, leaving. Madam Feng at this moment opened her eyes, glaring fiercely at Mr. Feng’s back.

Meanwhile, Anning and Xiao Yuan went to the mountains. She secretly kept some Heavenly Thunder and gave it to Xiao Yuan to temper his body.

While Xiao Yuan was tempering his body, Anning stood guard.

After more than two days, Xiao Yuan finally finished using the Heavenly Thunder.

Having used it, his body’s strength greatly increased, becoming very robust, yet outwardly looking frail and weak, as if a gust of wind could knock him down, appearing very sickly.

Anning couldn’t help but laugh upon seeing this: ”Your appearance is fit for playing the fool while seizing the prey.”

Xiao Yuan laughed too: ”Afterwards, I’ll need more care from you, Lady.”

”No problem, no problem.”

Meanwhile, Aunt Feng used the Spirit Rain that Anning gave her to bathe, cleansing some toxins from her body over two or three days. Her cultivation also increased greatly, jumping from the Qi Refining Eighth Layer directly to the Qi Refining Stage.

When Mrs. Zhu returned, Family Head Zhu had already added Aunt Feng’s name to the family registry and led Aunt Feng to honor the ancestors, marking her truly as the equal wife of Family Head Zhu.

Mrs. Zhu felt uncomfortable, but she had to put on a cheerful face to congratulate Mrs. Feng.

A few days later, Mrs. Zhu met Mrs. Feng again and found Mrs. Feng’s cultivation had grown; she was shocked and, thereafter, almost unwilling to see Anning and Mrs. Feng. She hardly managed household affairs anymore, leaving everything to Mrs. Feng.

Mrs. Feng took over the household, and Anning and Xiao Yuan’s living standards immediately rose several levels.

The servants of the Zhu Family, seeing this, began to look up to Mrs. Feng.

But Mrs. Feng didn’t neglect Mrs. Zhu; however, Mrs. Zhu couldn’t get over this issue herself, and days later, fell into a serious illness.
