Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Die a Natural Death

Yao Feiran smiled enigmatically: "Isn't my sister's child also not her own? The child I'm raising has no mother, so how could my sister not be?"

The stepmother's expression changed: "What do you mean?"

"I only want children without a biological mother. If my sister is willing to make this request, I would naturally be willing for her to come over."

The stepmother was so angry that she could hardly breathe. She never expected that the legitimate daughter, who used to prioritize the family in everything, would turn out like this.

"You're nothing but a hen that can't lay eggs. Without your family's support, do you think you could still gain a foothold in the royal family?"

"Mother, please be careful with your words. Xie Wan and Xie Yi are both my children."

Yao Feiran remained calm. It wasn't like she hadn't had children before, and she already had Xie Wan by her side. She didn't need any more children to solidify her favor. Besides, although Xie Che was a bit love-struck, he still respected his legal wife. As long as she didn't make any mistakes, she could rest easy.

"As long as I am alive, she will always be my legal wife."

A sound suddenly rang out behind them, like a thunderbolt, startling everyone in the room.

Yao Feiran hadn't expected Xie Che to be eavesdropping, and her hand trembled slightly, almost dropping her teacup.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"If Lady Ningguo has nothing else to say, please leave. I have something to discuss with the Crown Princess."

The stepmother's face turned pale and then black, and in the end she could only slink away.

Xie Che said calmly, "I remember you used to care a lot about the Ningguo Duke's Mansion."

The original owner cared a lot about her maternal family and often sought help from Xie Che for her brothers' career advancement. This was something Xie Che deeply resented, and they had several unpleasant encounters in the past.

Yao Feiran knew that Xie Che was the kind of person who could only be given things voluntarily; forcing him would only backfire.

"If they are capable, Your Highness will naturally give them a chance; if they are not capable, words will be useless. As for my sister, I dare not make a decision on my own."

Xie Che said meaningfully, "You've changed a lot over the years."

"People change," Yao Feiran said calmly. "Your Highness, the kitchen has prepared a meal. Would you like to stay and eat with us?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Shecher readily agreed.

Zhao Yunshu finally became pregnant, but all the positions in the Crown Prince's residence were already filled, and all the women were more senior than her and had given birth earlier. The Crown Prince's residence didn't care about a child at all, and no one cared about her pregnancy. Even so, Zhao Yunshu kept it a secret for two months before it was revealed.

After that came the general election, and many more people entered the Crown Prince's residence.

Yao Feiran treated all her offspring equally, regardless of gender. She gave them a small test every month and a big test every six months, with questions set according to their age. The knowledge tested was even broader than that of the college entrance examination, and included the Six Arts of a Gentleman. After each test, she would gather everyone together to announce the rankings, set up rewards, and even bring Xie Che over to oversee the process.

Since they are all of noble birth, they must bear these pressures; otherwise, how can they become outstanding?

Many women were afraid that their children would fall behind and lose face in front of His Highness, so they kept a close eye on their children's studies and there was not much infighting among them.

Later, Xie Che was sent by the emperor to provide disaster relief. Yao Feiran knew that Xie Che would contract the plague this time. At that time, there were not many people in the mansion. Zhao Yunshu took the initiative to take care of him. Under Zhao Yunshu's careful care, the two's relationship progressed rapidly. After Xie Che returned, he directly promoted her to the rank of Lady. The following year, Xie Che ascended the throne, and Zhao Yunshu became a concubine.

However, Zhao Yunshu is pregnant this time, so she probably can't go even if she wanted to.

More than half a month later, Chun Tao said anxiously, "Your Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince has... has contracted the plague and is staying at a villa outside the city."

Before Yao Feiran could say anything, the women in the backyard rushed over, looking as if their fathers had died: "Your Highness, what should we do? His Highness has contracted the plague!"

For them, the crown prince was their only support. If the crown prince were gone, all their fine clothes, delicacies, wealth and glory would vanish in the blink of an eye.

"What's the panic?" Yao Feiran snorted coldly, and the surroundings instantly fell silent: "His Highness is the Crown Prince, blessed by Heaven, and will surely be safe. The imperial physicians already have a treatment for this epidemic, so who is willing to go and take care of him?"

Everyone's eyes showed worry, and after talking for a long time, no one dared to step forward.

Yao Feiran was secretly laughing to herself. It seemed that even if Xie Che was the future emperor, he would have few people who truly cared for him.

"Your Majesty, I shall go."

Yue Ling suddenly stepped forward, her face beaming with smiles.

Over the years, Yueling has remained loyal to her. She has two sons and a daughter and is no longer the timid woman she once was.

"Aren't you afraid?"

"What's there to be afraid of? Since Your Majesty has said that His Highness is unharmed, I naturally trust Your Majesty." Yue Lingqi said with a light smile, "I entrust my child to Your Majesty."

It would be best if Yue Ling were willing to go. Although Yao Fei Ran also wanted to go and make a show of it, the affairs of the manor couldn't be separated from her, so taking the initiative to go would seem a bit deliberate.

Zhao Yunshu was still resting at home during her pregnancy, and she felt a pang of pain in her heart after learning about this.

When she first entered the manor, she knew that the princess was kind on the outside but ruthless on the inside, and that the other women were no pushovers either. She entered the Chen Prince's manor knowing that the Chen Prince would be the future emperor. In her previous life, she was too foolish and trusted others too much, which led to a miscarriage and physical harm, and she died in obscurity.

She has returned this time to become a noble lady in the palace, preferably to the highest position.

After the Crown Prince passed away, she knew that the Princess Consort would go mad and would not tolerate the birth of a new child, so she deliberately avoided her. But everything changed. The Princess Consort suddenly became understanding and always brought a string of women with her when she entered the palace. Since they were given to her by Consort Shu, no one laughed at Xie Che for his fondness for women. They just thought that Consort Shu was anxious for offspring and that the Princess Consort was virtuous and kind.

In just a few years, Shecher's number of children exploded, making many people envious.

She also tried to sow discord among the women who entered the mansion, but ended up with a lose-lose situation, and the princess gained several sons for nothing.

Zhao Yunshu is of low rank and dares not confront the princess. She could only withdraw the contraceptive soup to get pregnant as soon as possible, but because her body was injured, she was delayed for several years before she became pregnant, just in time for Xie Che to contract the plague.

She remembered that when Xie Che contracted the plague, the princess sent Ji Shuangying. After Ji Shuangying returned, she was constantly favored and, after giving birth to a child, was directly promoted to the position of the crown prince's concubine.

If only she hadn't been pregnant and had seized this opportunity.

A ruthless glint flashed in her eyes. She should never have revealed the news of her pregnancy. Even if she lost a child, she could gain Xie Che's protection. It was a worthwhile deal.

Unfortunately, it's too late now.
