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

"But for the sake of her husband's reputation, she had no choice but to do so."

Yao's father was born into a farming family, and the hardships he endured to get to where he is today are indescribable. When the village opened a private school, Yao's father would secretly listen to the lessons while doing farm work. After the teacher caught him, he tested him and finally decided to sponsor his studies for free.

Her parents-in-law initially disagreed, as she was the breadwinner of the family and had to support her younger brothers. It was only after the teacher persuaded them and gave them a few taels of silver that they relented.

Several years later, Yao's father passed the imperial examinations and became a scholar. After his teacher passed away, Yao's mother married Yao's father with a generous dowry and continued to support his studies.

After becoming an official in the capital, Yao Lingyan's parents died, and she came to the capital to seek refuge with them. Only then did Yao's father discover that his parents had been boasting that he was able to pass the imperial examination with flying colors entirely because his younger brother worked as a peddler to support him. In the end, his younger brother suffered health problems and died young, and Yao Lingyan became Yao's father's responsibility.

Over the decades, some lies, repeated often enough, become the truth, especially when they are spoken by Yao's parents themselves.

Yao's father reluctantly accepted this favor and let Yao Lingyan live in the mansion. Yao's mother did her best to treat Yao Lingyan in order to prevent her husband from being stigmatized as ungrateful. However, her precious daughter's reputation was ruined and she was married off as a concubine. Naturally, Yao's mother was heartbroken and unwilling to face Yao Lingyan.

This incident of falling into the water made Yao's mother realize that Yao Lingyan was not a simple person. She even suspected that Yao Lingyan might have been involved in ruining Yao Feiran's reputation, so she no longer wanted to have any relationship with her.

Mr. Yao said self-deprecatingly, "I have been dull-witted since childhood, so my parents do not like me. But I never expected that after my brother injured his leg, they would fabricate a story of kindness for him, as if they were afraid that I would not take care of my brother. They simply used the story of kindness to coerce me, and were sure that I would not dare to mistreat my brother for the sake of my reputation. Their daughter is now happy and fulfilled, while my daughter is someone's concubine. It is really unfair of heaven."

"My lord, you need not be sad. I have seen my daughter several times, and she looks much better. Moreover, she is a filial daughter and is still thinking of her family. She gave me such an important prescription."

"Ah, Fei Ran needs to be taken care of in the Marquis's mansion, so Madam will have to put in extra effort."

"She is also my daughter, so naturally I won't neglect her."

......

Yao Feiran inexplicably received a letter from Yao Lingyan, saying that she and Zhou Qingyan had already married and that she felt guilty towards her, hoping that her sister would not mind.

Yao Feiran: ......

Fine, let's get married then. Why bother sending her a cryptic letter? Yao Feiran was speechless. She glanced at the comments section and saw another round of compliments for Yao Lingyan.

At this point, the comments section shifted to a different direction.

[It's said that the Yao family recently launched a perfume with very high profits. If Yao Feiran could obtain the formula and give it to Lu Xingzhang, Lu Xingzhang would definitely favor her more.]

Would the Marquis's mansion even consider this perfume formula?

[Of course, I heard that Her Majesty the Empress enjoys collecting these different kinds of perfumes, and she even specially sent Su Lanzhi to the palace.]

The Marquis's mansion certainly valued this prescription, after all, it supported such a large family. However, Yao Feiran knew that the comments didn't want her to give the prescription to Lu Xingzhang, but rather that the master behind it wanted to see the prescription.

Yao Feiran was too lazy to act, so she blocked the comments and entered the illusion, then closed her eyes and went to sleep.

The next day, Lu Xingzhang took Song Qingci and the eldest young lady out for a happy spring outing, while Zhixia stayed at the mansion because of diarrhea.

In the middle of the night, Zhi Xia, who was not required to keep watch, went to bed early. She was Song Qingci's confidante and lived in a separate room. At this moment, a dark figure jumped in through the window.

Zhi Xia looked terrified and was about to scream.

A pair of hands gripped her neck.

The other person's mask fell off, revealing Yao Feiran's face.

Zhi Xia's initial look of fear was followed by surprise and disdain, but she eventually calmed down.

"Aunt Yao, aren't you afraid of being punished for barging in at night?"

Yao Feiran dislocated her jaw and pressed on her hand and foot joints. Zhixia felt a piercing pain and could not move her hands and feet.

Zhi Xia's face showed fear again. She didn't expect the other party to actually try to hurt her, because her jaw had been dislocated and saliva was dripping down her chin.

She tried to call out, but found that she couldn't make a loud sound. Moreover, everyone else in the courtyard had gone out with Aunt Song, and only a few maids were not staying there.

Yao Feiran pricked Zhixia a few times with a needle, and Zhixia was overwhelmed by even more intense pain, with saline solution welling up in her eyes.

The other person's eyes were full of pleading.

Yao Feiran fixed her chin back in place and said coldly, "I'll ask you a question, and you answer it. If you dare to scream, then you can die."

Zhi Xia nodded.

Before Yao Feiran could even use other methods to interrogate the prisoner, Zhixia had already broken down mentally, proving that she had worried too much before.

Why did Aunt Song kill Xiao Tao?

Zhi Xia paused, and Yao Feiran pried her fingers off with a loud snap in the night. Zhi Xia was covered in sweat, and Yao Feiran quickly stuffed a rag into her mouth.

Zhi Xia gagged in pain, and after a while, she removed the rag.

"I said, spare my life! Aunt Song wanted to kill Xiao Tao because she overheard that Madam's son was not dead, but was thrown into a family by Aunt Song to be mistreated."

Yao Feiran: ......

Reversal of Fate Beads: ......

It wasn't a stillborn baby, so how come it's still alive and being left outside to be mistreated?

This amount of information was so enormous that Yao Feiran was completely stunned.

She could tell at a glance that Zhixia wasn't lying.

"Does Consort Song really have such abilities? She actually managed to switch the Madam's son with a stillborn child right here in the mansion?"

"During that time, the Madam and the Marquis were having a cold war. The Old Madam went to the palace, and all the midwives were summoned by the Master to Concubine Song's place. The Madam went to find a midwife again, who was a relative of Concubine Song, so she resorted to underhanded tactics."

Yao Feiran understood. In this patriarchal dynasty, the cold war between Lin Ruowan and Lu Xingzhang undoubtedly led to a decline in Lin Ruowan's status in the Marquis's mansion, resulting in a lack of control. It was not surprising that some people took advantage of the situation.

Lu Xingzhang took all the midwives away, probably not only because he was worried about Song Qingci, but also because he wanted to punish Lin Ruowan. He thought that since Lin Ruowan could call other midwives, there wouldn't be any major problems. He didn't know what impact the wasted time would have on Lin Ruowan; he just wanted to consolidate his authority.

I wonder how he felt when he found out his legitimate son had become a stillborn child. After that, the couple treated each other with cold indifference.

Where is that child?

"In Muyue Village, Aunt Song would go and visit every now and then."

Song Qingci probably felt that simply killing the other party's son wasn't enough; she had to see him suffer a lifetime of misery to feel satisfied.

What grudge or hatred could there be?

Even so, Lu Xingzhang still thought the other party was kind and gentle.

My eyes were practically filled with shit.

Yao Feiran left safely.

Reversal of Fate Beads: "Aren't we going to kill her?"

"Now is not a good time."

Zhi Xia is Song Qingci's confidante. If she dies unexpectedly, Song Qingci will have Lu Xingzhang investigate thoroughly. Murder could be a serious matter or a minor one, and it could cause a lot of trouble.

Zhi Xia will not easily tell Song Qingci about what happened today, because if Song Qingci finds out, she will definitely not spare her life.

She touched her face, originally thinking that Xiao Tao's main target was her, but it turned out that it was about Lin Ruowan. She felt like she had made trouble for herself.
