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

Lu Xingzhang was very cold to the original owner of this body, probably only coming over to see Lu Yunwan. Her clenched fists fell down again, and she resumed her indifferent expression.

"My lord, you've arrived."

Lu Xingzhang glanced at Yao Feiran and saw that she had a blank expression, was dressed impeccably, and wore dark and gloomy clothes. He immediately lost interest.

"Where is Yun Wan?"

Xi'er brought Lu Yunwan out, and Lu Xingzhang's expression softened a bit. The father and daughter played together for a while, and Lu Xingzhang saw Yao Feiran reading a book, which piqued his curiosity.

"You like reading. What kind of books do you usually like to read?"

"I only read miscellaneous books."

Lu Xingzhang gave her a strange look. She was holding a copy of the Records of the Grand Historian, yet she claimed it was a miscellaneous book. She was blatantly lying.

"Can you understand it?"

"I know a little bit."

Upon hearing Yao Feiran's words, Lu Xingzhang suddenly began asking questions.

Yao Feiran: ......

No matter what he asked, Yao Feiran always said she didn't know. After a while, Lu Xingzhang left in a huff.

Xi'er said worriedly, "The Marquis finally came, how could you just let him leave?"

He thought I was too stupid.

Yao Feiran's expression remained unchanged. Just then, the food delivery arrived. The kitchen staff thought Lu Xingzhang would stay for dinner, so the dishes were prepared much better. Yao Feiran accidentally finished them all.

As night fell, a dark figure appeared before me, holding a dagger that gleamed coldly in the moonlight.

The dagger was thrust down hard at Yao Feiran's neck, about to sever her neck by cutting through her skin, when a slender hand gripped her wrist like an iron clamp.

The shadowy figure looked pained, and the dagger fell from his limp hand as a cold hand gripped his neck.

Why did you kill me?

Knowing he was powerless to change the situation, the shadowy figure unleashed his fury: "You killed Xiaotao, and I'll make you pay with your life!"

Yao Feiran stabbed him in the stomach, tore the bed curtains to tie him up, and lit the candles.

She came out and said to Xi'er, who was guarding the gate outside, "Someone wants to kill me. Please bring the lady here."

Xi'er was startled and immediately ran out.

After a while, Lin Ruowan and Lu Xingzhang arrived, followed by Song Qingci.

Assassinating someone in the Marquis's residence is no small matter.

At this moment, the comments section opened again.

[It must have been Lin Ruowan who did it. Knowing full well that Wang Hou wanted revenge, she still sent him to Yao Feiran's courtyard. What a vicious woman!]

Yes, but is Yao Feiran really that powerful? It's strange that a seemingly weak woman could subdue Wang Hou.

Yao Feiran had better not let this opportunity slip by.

......

The comments scrolled by quickly. Yao Feiran recalled that the original owner was able to give birth to a son and a daughter safely because of Lin Ruowan's protection. However, in recent years, because of Lu Xingzhang's neglect, Lin Ruowan had become indifferent and no longer cared much about the affairs of the courtyard.

Lu Xingzhang frowned as he looked at the queen, who seemed barely breathing, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

"This man attempted to assassinate me in the middle of the night, blaming me for killing Xiao Tao, and he wanted to avenge Xiao Tao."

Wang Hou was now only able to vent his anger. His eyes were filled with hatred as he looked at these people. It was all because of these arrogant people that Xiao Tao had died so tragically.

Lu Xingzhang angrily said, "A mere servant dares to assassinate his master! Madam, is this how you manage the household? What if Yun Wan gets implicated?!"

Yao Feiran's lips twitched. She guessed that in Lu Xingzhang's heart, the lives of these concubines were far less important than those of his children. He was mainly afraid that Lu Yunwan would be in danger.

Lu Xingzhang thought that if he were stabbed while he was sleeping, he would have died for nothing.

Lin Ruowan quickly replied, "It was my oversight."

At this moment, Song Qingci showed her face: "It seems that Wang Hou was sent to Aunt Yao's courtyard by the madam. I didn't expect this to happen so soon."

Lu Xingzhang stared at Lin Ruowan with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, his eyes filled with disgust.

Yao Feiran said, "It couldn't have been done by Madam. Without Madam, I wouldn't have been able to give birth to the eldest son and the second daughter. Nobody knows about the friendship between Wang Hou and Xiao Tao. Besides, I didn't kill Xiao Tao back then."

"Hmph, if you didn't kill him, then who else could it be?"

"My lord, if you could find a coroner to examine the body, you would know that the bruises on Xiao Tao's neck have thick knuckles and wide fingers, clearly the hand of a man. How could it be that I did it? There are also small, light purple-red spots on Xiao Tao's neck. These livid spots indicate that she has been dead for more than two hours. How could I have been caught red-handed with a murder weapon?"

Lu Xingzhang initially thought the other party was talking nonsense, but what Yao Feiran said actually made sense. His expression instantly turned serious. He didn't want to make a big deal out of this matter at the time, and since Yao Feiran had admitted it, he didn't think about investigating it thoroughly. If it wasn't Yao Feiran who killed him, then who was it?

Why didn't you say so back then?

"I was terrified at the time. Xia kept accusing me of abusing Xiao Tao. I was speechless. Xiao Tao was only punished by being made to kneel because she did something wrong. Isn't that normal? How did it become abuse for me?"

Lu Xingzhang gave Zhixia a sharp look, and Zhixia's hand trembled so much that she almost lost her balance.

Song Qingci quickly said softly, "Zhixia has been by my side for many years and has always been a kind girl, which is why she stood up for Xiaotao."

Yao Feiran smiled faintly: "Back then, she was so aggressive, she didn't seem like a kind person. No matter what, I am the master, yet she, a mere servant, dared to question me."

Song Qingci's face darkened.

"Alright, I'll investigate this matter further." Lu Xingzhang's tone was meaningful: "You do know how to be grateful; what Madam did for you wasn't in vain."

"I must not only be grateful, but also be able to distinguish right from wrong. I must have evidence in everything. If I believe others based on just a few words, I'm afraid I will lose heart."

These words carried a hidden meaning, and Lu Xingzhang's face showed slight anger: "What do you mean!"

"My lord, these are my words of self-reflection and self-encouragement. If you don't like hearing them, I won't say them again. By the way, it seems that Wang Hou has lost too much blood and is not breathing. I didn't mean to, so please don't give him another twenty strokes of the cane."

Lu Xingzhang: "..."

Was this concubine always so sharp-tongued?

Soon, everyone left with Lu Xingzhang, and Yao Feiran successfully offended Song Qingci. However, after Xiao Tao's death, Yao Feiran's first suspect was Song Qingci, and she would cause trouble for her sooner or later.

After this incident, the comments section suddenly quieted down considerably, probably because they realized that Yao Feiran had discovered something.
