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

Zheng Zhusheng: "...Mother, we are family after all. If you just throw a little bit out of your fingers, we can live a good life and take care of you in your old age."

"What retirement planning? I don't expect it from my own children, but I'm counting on you. Who knows, you might even get there before me."

Given Yao Feiran's physical condition, she will definitely outlive Zheng Zhu.

Zheng Zhusheng was speechless, his expression growing increasingly grim, but he dared not lose his temper and stood there unwilling to leave.

"If the Zheng family hadn't taken you in, would you have the life you have now? Yet now you're unwilling to help the Zheng family."

It was the Zheng family; the original owner of this body left early.

"It's no use for you to say these high-sounding words to me. This isn't Laojing Village, and no one is here to criticize me on your behalf. I don't believe I've wronged anyone in the Zheng family. Get out of here. Even if I lose my money, I won't give it to you."

"Do you have to be so ruthless? Always leave a way out. Maybe one day you'll fall on hard times and have to come back to the village and rely on us."

Yao Feiran fell silent. What was this guy fantasizing about? He was even imagining her days of hardship.

"Uncle Zhao, see the guest out!"

Saying more would just be a waste of your time.

At this moment, Zhao Afu stood in front of Zheng Zhusheng, his expression indifferent.

"Please leave."

Zheng Zhusheng looked at the dishes on the table, his face flushed: "I've come all this way, can I have a simple meal here?"

Yao Feiran: "..."

Yao Feiran gave her some food to send her away, otherwise there would have been more trouble.

After this experience, she wanted to move, but Zheng Xiaotao's marriage was still undecided.

When asked, Zhao Xiaotao said that everything was decided by her mother.

At this time, Zheng Qingrui sent another letter.

Surprisingly, he had arranged a date for Zhao Xiaotao.

Lu Zhiyan

He was a classmate of Zheng Qingrui. Both his parents died, and he was later supported by the imperial family to study. He was of good character, and there is a portrait of him that shows him to be a gentle and refined scholar.

However, it's really hard to tell whether this portrait is good or bad.

A few days later, Lu Zhiyan paid a visit.

"Auntie, Brother Zheng said that I need to come and be seen by you. He will only agree to let my sister marry me if you approve of her."

Yao Feiran's smile froze. What did this brat think of her? Coming all this way here isn't a beauty pageant.

To her surprise, the other party didn't mind at all. She looked it up and found that the Lu family clan was powerful, with the main branch holding official positions in the capital and a daughter who had entered the palace as a concubine. Even though he was an orphan, he seemed to be in a much better position than his family in the Lu family. He was also a scholar and had participated in the provincial examination with Zheng Qingrui this time.

"Nephew Lu, you think highly of my son. Are you truly seeking to marry my daughter?"

"Yes, Brother Zheng is exceptionally talented and of outstanding character. He has also spoken about his sister's personality. However, my family is poor and humble, and I am fortunate to have received assistance from Brother Zheng. If Aunt does not mind, I would like to ask for your hand in marriage."

When Yao Feiran saw that he spoke of his poverty with composure, without any shame or disgrace, she knew that this person was indeed of decent character.

Then Yao Feiran asked a few questions about scholarship. In the ensuing exchange, Lu Zhiyan was greatly astonished. Zheng Qingrui's mother was said to be of peasant origin, yet her education was surprisingly high.

Yao Feiran noticed that his luck was shrouded in a layer of gray mist, indicating a potential major downturn. However, since he had made contact with Zheng Qingrui, this disappointment was insignificant compared to his later rise.

Most importantly, Zheng Qingrui's luck cannot be taken away by Fang Su Niang's system.

Otherwise, Lu Zhiyan would have a life of misery.

She had a good impression of the child and even asked Zheng Xiaotao to meet him. After all, her family wasn't exactly wealthy or powerful, so it wouldn't hurt for the man and woman to meet.

Zheng Xiaotao came out and took a look, then shyly ran back into the house.

Yao Feiran: "..."

"I'll go talk to my daughter first."

Yao Feiran entered the room and told Zheng Xiaotao about Lu Zhiyan's situation. After thinking for a while, Zheng Xiaotao immediately said, "It's all up to Mother to decide."

"Couldn't you have said something different? Why are you being so obedient?"

Zheng Xiaotao took Yao Feiran's arm: "My mother is so good to me, I believe she wouldn't hurt me."

Yao Feiran knew that the matter had been settled.

Soon the matchmaker arrived, the betrothal gifts were presented, the horoscopes were matched, and the marriage took place six months later.

After learning the news, Fang Suniang quickly came looking for her.

"Auntie, the Lu family is not a good match. You're only hurting Xiaotao by doing this."

"How did it end up harming him?"

He had no father or mother.

"That's great, you don't have to serve your mother-in-law."

Fang Suniang paused for a moment: "After all, he is an orphan. Even if he is a member of the Lu family, his family background is probably not very good."

"Money is no problem, my family has enough."

Her expression was full of reproach, as if she blamed Yao Feiran for pushing her daughter into a fire pit. However, Yao Feiran didn't care about these things at all. As long as her character and talent were acceptable, Zheng Qingrui would naturally take care of the rest.

"Auntie, do you hate me?"

"Isn't that obvious? You forced me to accept you, and now you're asking a question you already know the answer to."

"But I'm not bad either. I'll treat Young Master Zheng well, and I'll even save him."

Yao Feiran asked, "What do you mean, 'save him'?"

Fang Suniang's face flushed with panic: "I... I mean I'm willing to give my life for him."

"There's no need to be so humble."

Yao Feiran was speechless for a moment. She guessed that the memories given to Fang Su Niang by the system meant that the villains lost to the male and female protagonists in the end, but Zheng Qingrui's luck could not possibly be lost. How could he have fallen to the point where he needed her to save him?

"I only ask that Young Master Zheng be willing to marry me."

"If someone you don't like pursues you and says they love you to death, you should just think they're a clingy pest."

Fang Suniang's face was deathly still: "But if I can't get his love, I will die."

"But your death was not caused by him now."

Fang Suniang's face turned pale; she couldn't refute what the other person said.

"But thank you for reminding me anyway. I have my own plans regarding Xiao Tao," Yao Feiran said in a low voice. "What you know might not be true. Do you really believe in the existence of your kidnapping?"

Fang Suniang suddenly took a few steps back and fled in panic. The crackling sound of electricity in her ears made her head ache terribly, and she couldn't think straight.

Who exactly is Yao Feiran? She seems to know everything.

Fang Suniang's mind was in complete chaos.

Not long after, news came that Zheng Qingrui had passed the imperial examination, and Lu Zhiyan had also passed it.

Fang the blacksmith also ran over: "That's wonderful! Nephew Zheng has passed the imperial examination. I wonder when he will be able to marry my Su Niang."

"There's no rush. In two years, he'll be taking the imperial examination, and he'll be going abroad to study."

Zhang Xiu's face was somewhat unpleasant; her daughter was already eighteen years old, which was no longer young.

"My dear in-laws, it's not too late to marry him first and then go on his studies. Su Niang can take care of him then."

"After marriage, there will be many complicated matters, and I fear that my mind will be unsettled, which will affect my studies."

Zhang Xiu felt a tightness in her chest and said impatiently, "Are you trying to stall? Do you want to delay my daughter's life?"
