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

For some reason, half a month later, Lu Xingzhang started to visit Yao Feiran frequently. Judging from his expression, he was in a bad mood and spent most of his time talking to Lu Yunwan.

With his arrival, the food in the kitchen improved considerably. As long as he didn't stay overnight, Yao Feiran didn't care. But if he showed any signs of staying overnight, Yao Feiran would make sarcastic remarks to drive him away. As a result, Lu Xingzhang came even more frequently.

Xi'er also noticed the signs and secretly asked Yao Feiran, "Aunt Yao, do you not like the Marquis?"

Xi'er was Yao Feiran's dowry maid. She was a servant born into the Yao family and was quite loyal. Yao Feiran spoke without restraint.

"I prefer younger men; he's too old."

"Shh—Auntie, keep your voice down."

Xi'er shrank back in fright and looked around, afraid of being overheard. Just then, she saw a tall figure standing at the door.

"Greetings...Greetings, Lord Marquis."

Xi'er knelt down with a thud, the sound of her knees hitting the ground making Yao Feiran's teeth ache. She turned her head and said without batting an eye, "Greetings, Lord Marquis. Why have you come so early today?"

"Yao! If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known you had such rebellious thoughts."

Seeing Lu Xingzhang's contorted face, Yao Feiran thought that he was just furious and that she should stop provoking him. After all, his identity wasn't good enough; he couldn't just kill the people of the Marquis's mansion and wander the world.

Originally, it was thought that Lu Xingzhang would leave in anger, but unexpectedly, after holding back his anger for a long time, he calmed down and even sat down to drink a cup of tea.

"Madam Yao, have you discovered something that has changed your attitude towards the lady?"

"Hasn't the Marquis already found out? Although he's unwilling to admit it, he'll have to face reality sooner or later."

Lu Xingzhang wasn't incompetent at work, but he was clueless when it came to women. Anyone who tried to sow discord between him and Lin Ruowan had a 90% success rate because Lu Xingzhang had a natural prejudice against Lin Ruowan and would never bother to verify anything.

Lu Xingzhang's voice was hoarse: "I thought she was a pure-hearted person, but I never expected her to be so vicious."

"Then why did she kill Xiaotao?"

"I don't know, she won't say."

"Then why are you even checking?" Yao Feiran rolled her eyes. "What a devoted lover."

In Lu Xingzhang's heart, it didn't matter whether Xiao Tao lived or died. What hurt him was that Song Qingci's flawless image was ruined. She not only beat and killed servants at will, but also blamed the deaths of innocent people.

Yao Feiran didn't say anything either. She was also very curious as to why the other party wanted to kill Xiao Tao. Xiao Tao was usually careless and often scolded by the original owner of the body, but she was a kind-hearted person at heart.

Dead people can't talk, so Xiaotao must have discovered something.

Yao Feiran narrowed her eyes slightly, but did not say anything about Song Qingci. After all, she had already experienced the power of a man's love-struck mind. As long as he hadn't completely given up, if you dared to say bad things about his true love, he would write it down in his little notebook.

As Lu Xingzhang spoke, he drank his wine. Xi'er seemed very eager to keep him here, refilling his cup after each drink. He drank an unknown number of cups, until his face was flushed and his eyes were glazed.

"Wasn't I good enough to her? She blamed me for getting you pregnant, for favoring other concubines, for making her a concubine... How could I possibly marry her as my principal wife back then?"

Yao Feiran raised the corners of her mouth slightly, barely suppressing her laughter. This idiot really dared to say anything to her. He probably saw that she was not fighting or grabbing anything, and even started to have a heart-to-heart talk with her.

"Why don't you take Aunt Song out for a walk alone and change the environment? If Aunt Song can't see her sisters in the mansion, she'll feel better. If the two of them have a good talk, maybe everything will be fine."

Lu Xingzhang, who was already completely drunk and lying on the table panting heavily, suddenly looked up when he heard Yao Feiran's words.

"You're right. I'll be able to take a break soon and take Qingci out to Linyuan for a visit. I'll bring Anning along too. Qingci will definitely be happy. Madam Yao, you've solved a problem for me. What do you need?"

"I need money, the more the better."

Lu Xingzhang looked disgusted and said to the maid beside him, "Have the madam give her some silver."

"Yes, my lord."

After saying that, Lu Xingzhang shook his head and left.

Yao Feiran thought to herself, "This is truly a happy family of three. The only discord is that the other party is just a concubine."

A few days later, Yao's mother came over. She first went to pay her respects to Lin Ruowan before going to Yao Feiran's courtyard.

When Yao's mother saw Yao Feiran, tears welled up in her eyes.

"My daughter, you've suffered so much."

Yao Feiran smiled and said, "Mother, I'm fine. Don't be sad. Come visit me more often. Madam has already agreed."

"Oh, Lady Hou is a kind-hearted woman."

Madam Yao looked bitter. There's no good or bad about being a concubine. Her daughter, whom she had doted on since childhood, should have been in charge of the household. She had already chosen a husband for her, but this happened. She wondered who was trying to harm her daughter.

"Daughter, I've brought you a box of silver. You'll need to take care of things wherever you go in the Marquis's mansion. If you need anything, just tell me. Don't trouble the Marquis's wife too much, lest you upset her."

Yao Feiran took the silver and turned to take out a handwritten book from the box.

"Mother, there used to be a maid in my family who had a skill in making perfume. Perfume is similar to balm, but it's more convenient and has more varieties of scents. I remember you have a perfume shop, so you could try selling these things. This is a bottle of rose perfume that I made."

Although the Yao family lived in the capital, they were not well-established and were poor. Yao's mother often sent money over, which was a considerable burden for the Yao family. Moreover, it seemed that the original owner's younger brother was about to get married, which was not a long-term solution.

When Yao's mother heard Yao Feiran's words, she was still a little confused until Yao Feiran took out the porcelain bottle, opened the lid, and the fragrance inside filled the air, which instantly cleared her mind.

"This fragrance?"

Yao Feiran dripped a drop of perfume onto her mother's hand and spread it. The fragrance was no longer so strong, but it spread instantly, as if she were surrounded by roses, a feeling that was more intense than other perfume products.

"Mother can allow some ladies to try it out first, and reward them accordingly."

Mrs. Yao looked shocked. She quickly realized the potential of this perfume, and that it was much more convenient to apply than balm.

"Daughter, you're lucky to have gotten someone to share this recipe. It really is good to be kind to others."

Yao's mother carefully put the things away. Yao Feiran usually blocked the comments when she was making perfume-related things, and she also blocked the comments when she talked to her mother about perfume. The false illusion created by the Reversal of Fate Bead had deceived the comments.

Now that the perfume issue has been resolved, the comments section has been opened.

Yao Feiran asked, "Has your brother agreed to the marriage yet?"

"Not yet." After a moment's hesitation, Yao's mother said, "It's just that Lingyan and Zhou Qingyan are engaged."

Zhou Qingyan was originally the original owner's fiancé. He was only twenty years old when he became the top scholar in the imperial examination and entered the Hanlin Academy. He had a bright future ahead of him. However, due to the incident that happened to the original owner, their marriage ended without a trace. Yao Lingyan was the original owner's cousin. She lost both her parents and was raised in the Yao family since she was a child.
