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

Yao Feiran jumped directly to the bushes and, sure enough, saw a person hiding near a large rock. He also saw Yao Feiran, and his expression instantly turned sinister. Yao Feiran took out a crossbow from her spatial storage and aimed it at the person's neck.

whoosh-

The arrow pierced the man's neck. His eyes widened, and he covered the bleeding wound as he slowly collapsed.

Hearing the commotion, Yao Feng thought something had happened to Yao Feiran and rushed over. By then, Yao Feiran had already put the crossbow into her spatial storage.

Yao Feng visibly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yao Feiran standing there.

"Why did I just hear screams?"

He looked around and saw the person lying in the distance. His pupils shrank instantly, and he quickly protected Yao Feiran.

"Who's there?!"

"Father, that man looks like he's collapsed."

Yao Feng glanced at it a few times and said, "You go to the carriage first. I'll go check on it. If there's anything, I'll have your brother drive the carriage."

"it is good."

Yao Feiran obediently returned to the carriage. Yao Feng cautiously stepped forward and saw a burly man lying on the ground. He was masked and had a short arrow stuck in his neck, from which blood was flowing.

When he saw the big man's arm, he was shocked, and then his face showed a pained and hateful expression.

This is the same person who broke his leg and slashed his face.

On his way to take the prefectural examination, he was about to become a scholar. Once he passed the prefectural examination, he would become a scholar. However, he was ambushed and thought he was about to die. Fortunately, someone from his village passed by and the person who ambushed him ran away.

Although Yao Feng didn't know who killed him, he knew he couldn't stay here any longer; there must be someone else there.

A wave of panic washed over him, and he rushed to the carriage. Seeing that Yao Feiran and Yao Shuyan were safe and sound, he was relieved. However, the feeling of panic lingered, so he quickly pulled on the reins and left.

Yao Feiran glanced at the clouds above Yao Shuyan's head and then fell asleep peacefully.

As the carriage passed by, there was a rope on the ground.

Yao Feiran was now certain that someone was indeed targeting the Yao family. If she hadn't noticed, the carriage would most likely have been tripped up if that person had grabbed the rope.

"Father, have you offended anyone?"

As Yao Feng urged the horse on, he said, "No, your father and mother are both kind people. How could they possibly offend anyone?"

"Didn't you offend your uncle?"

"...Children shouldn't meddle in adult matters."

Although Yao Feiran said that, she didn't think these things had anything to do with her uncle. There was always a pair of eyes watching the Yao family in the shadows. Once the Yao family was about to get out of the quagmire, they would be sabotaged. It was like a soft knife that wouldn't cut them off in one stroke, but would watch them struggle helplessly.

However, these methods are very crude, unlike those of the powerful and wealthy here.

Yao Feiran guessed that it was probably someone from the capital. Sure enough, the other party probably felt that the fake heiress deserved to be punished.

When the county examination arrived, Yao Feiran instructed, "Brother, before the body search, check your belongings carefully. Don't think you're all set after checking once. Pay attention to whether there's anything extra among the things you're carrying."

"I know, you've said it many times."

Yao Feng said seriously, "Your sister is right. Someone who took the exam with you before had cheat sheets thrown at them and was caught. They were banned from taking the exam for life. Don't take this lightly."

Thinking back on all the bad luck he'd had over the years, Yao Feng was also afraid that his son had fallen victim to the same thing.

Seeing that the two of them said this, Yao Shuyan also became anxious and looked at her belongings again and again.

As he queued to enter, a man in his thirties followed behind him, saying enthusiastically, "Shuyan, you've finally arrived? Did you bring everything?"

"I've brought everything, Brother Wenyuan."

Both were students of the master. The man's name was Wen Yuan. He had failed the exam several times. The two did not usually communicate much, and Yao Shuyan only responded politely.

As the inspection drew near, Yao Shuyan inexplicably glanced at the items in the basket and noticed an extra calligraphy brush. Yao Shuyan was certain he didn't have that item.

He glanced at the examiner in front of him, cold sweat dripping down his back. He threw the extra calligraphy brush on the ground and kicked it far away.

"Yao Shuyan, a resident of Qingping Village, aged eleven, with a guarantor..."

Five people stepped forward. This was a case of mutual insurance claims; if one person cheated, the others would be held accountable.

After the exam.

As Yao Shuyan walked out of the examination hall, he happened to see Wen Yuan. He stepped forward and said coldly, "Why did you frame me!"

Wen Yuan remained calm: "I don't know what you're talking about."

"You were the only one behind me just now. I checked again before you came over and there was no problem. Everyone else was vouching for me. If I were caught cheating, they would all be implicated, so it couldn't be them. There must be something fishy about that extra brush."

Wen Yuan looked surprised, not expecting him to be so vigilant.

"Shuyan, calm down first. I'm leaving now."

Wen Yuan left under some pretext, and Yao Shuyan knew that without evidence, there was nothing she could do.

At this moment, Yao Feng also came over: "Shuyan, what's wrong? What did that person do just now?"

"Father, this person is deliberately framing me."

Yao Feiran quietly followed him, and seeing that Wen Yuan went to an inn, she changed her voice and knocked on the door.

"They deliver hot water."

Wen Yuan opened the door, looked down and saw a little girl looking at him, then jumped up and slapped him in the face.

Wen Yuan quickly lost consciousness. When he woke up, his mouth was gagged with a cloth. Yao Feiran calmly said, "Who told you to frame Yao Shuyan?"

Without waiting for Wen Yuan's reply, Yao Feiran inserted a needle directly, causing Wen Yuan excruciating pain.

After a while, Wen Yuan was covered in sweat. His eyes were now filled with fear, and he wanted to speak, but his mouth was already blocked.

Yao Feiran said nonchalantly, "I forgot to take it out. Don't yell, or you'll be in even more agony."

Wen Yuan nodded frantically, confessing everything she asked, as long as she stopped torturing him.

Why did you frame Shuyan?

"I haven't passed the imperial examination for over ten years, and I've wasted so much time. My teacher said that the one most likely to pass this time is Yan Shu. How can a mere child like him pass the imperial examination? The owner of the Sanlin Pawnshop promised to redeem Miss Chunliu in exchange for doing him a favor: to make Yao Shuyan lose his eligibility for the imperial examination forever."

Yao Feiran thought to herself, "Isn't that Chunliu girl a courtesan? She's obsessed with beauty, how can she concentrate on her studies? It's no wonder she failed the exam."
