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

"When did you start speaking so rudely? Your mother didn't mean it; she only gave you a few slaps, and you're doing just fine now, aren't you?"

"It was twenty strokes of the cane, almost killing me. Why don't you give it a try, Lord Marquis? It's easy for you to say that when you're not the one suffering. I hate Song Qingci even more. She killed someone and then framed me, indirectly causing my near death. How can I not despise her?"

"My life is insignificant to you people, but my parents will be heartbroken, Yunwan will lose her birth mother, and the Marquis, who has lived a life of luxury, is still resentful that he couldn't give his beloved the status of a legal wife, and wants others to comfort him. He's really just being a busybody."

Lu Xingzhang choked up, looking at the concubine's disgusted face, and inexplicably felt less angry.

It seems she wasn't targeting him; she just genuinely disliked everyone.

After a while, he changed the subject.

"You've been seeing your mother a lot lately. I heard that your Yao family's perfume has become a sensation in the capital, and they've made a good living from it."

"Yes, my family has become wealthy, and my mother, feeling sorry for me, specially came to give me money."

"Does the Marquis's mansion not have enough to support you? If you want to buy something, just ask Madam Lin."

"Everyone's food, clothing, and daily necessities are finite. If it weren't for Madam's careful budgeting, do you think a marquis could support such a large group of people? If you let Concubine Song manage the household, the marquis's mansion would be starving."

Lu Xingzhang paused, remembering that Song Qingci had not received any formal training and was indeed not up to the responsibility of managing the household affairs.

"Zhou Qingyan married an orphan girl, and I heard that he was even praised by His Majesty. He used to be your fiancé. Do you regret climbing the social ladder and using such means to enter the Marquis's mansion?"

"I was also framed. I originally thought being a legal wife was good, but now I think if I had a husband like you, being a legal wife wouldn't be so good. You can't even protect your own son."

"The Yao family!!!"

Lu Xingzhang was furious, his face flushed red. He pointed at her but couldn't utter a few words for a long time. Yao Feiran watched his departing figure and rubbed her temples.

They finally left. It was almost lunchtime, and she was planning to eat roast duck today, which was her happiest time. She didn't want to have someone in her way with her.

Yao Feiran spoke too confidently. After that, Lu Xingzhang would often come over to freeload meals, except when he was away on official business. Yao Feiran would make sarcastic remarks but she wouldn't leave. Instead, she would go to the kitchen and ask for more of what she wanted to eat. Normally, these things would require money to pay for, but when Lu Xingzhang came over, the kitchen dared not neglect him.

"I'm going to Yueyin tomorrow, and I estimate I won't be back for several months."

"Really? That's great!"

Yueyang is flooded every year. This time, Lu Xingzhang has been sent by the emperor to Yueyin to manage the floods, and he is expected to stay for several months.

Lu Xingzhang said with a dark face, "Yao, do you not want to see me?"

"I am happy for you, which means that the emperor values ​​you highly and has entrusted you with such an important task. You must not let His Majesty down."

Lu Xingzhang stared at her for a long time. Her eyes were indifferent, but he felt that she was saying one thing and meaning another. He couldn't swallow his anger for a long time.

After Lu Xingzhang left.

The backyard fell silent. Just then, Xi'er told herself, "Auntie, Aunt Zhao is here."

Aunt Zhao had little presence in the Marquis's mansion. She was almost thirty years old and had no children. The original owner of this body rarely interacted with her.

Aunt Zhao walked over, her face filled with envy and jealousy.

"Sister, I have good news for you. The Marquis petitioned His Majesty yesterday to appoint a heir apparent. It's the Second Young Master. Congratulations!"

"His Majesty has not yet agreed, so everything is still uncertain."

Although the report was submitted, the emperor has not yet approved it; he has only accepted the memorial.

"Since it's been brought up, it's only a matter of time. You should spend more time with the second young master, after all, you are his birth mother. You can't let the madam win you over. I think the second young master is closer to the madam, so don't be careless."

"Although I am his birth mother, it is the lady who raised him. Isn't it normal for him to be close to her? Besides, the lady can give him a better status. Why should I stop him?"

Yao Feiran glanced at the other person with a puzzled look. Was this guy trying to sow discord?

Lin Ruowan has done her best for Lu Zhao, so why should she go and get in the way? She can also take care of one less child and enjoy some peace and quiet.

[Actually, Aunt Zhao is right. From then on, Lu Zhao only recognized Lin Ruowan as his mother and ignored Yao Feiran. In the end, Yao Feiran lived a lonely life.]

Lin Ruowan frequently sowed discord, causing Lu Zhao to hate his mother.

Yao Feiran should spend more time with this son; otherwise, she might have given birth to him for nothing.

Speaking of which, the comments section was silent for a long time after Song Qingci was sent to the temple, but it has popped up again to cause trouble this time.

Aunt Zhao gave her a disapproving look: "Your idea is too naive. Do you think you're just giving birth to a son for nothing? Who knows what she's been saying behind your back that's why the Second Young Master is keeping his distance from you. Who knows, once the Second Young Master becomes the heir, he might try to take advantage of you."

"Are you out of your mind? What good can come of a fight between me and Madam? Who sent you to sow discord? Get lost with such despicable tactics. I don't want to see you."

Aunt Zhao's expression kept changing. She hadn't expected the other party to tear off the mask so easily. Had Yao Feiran ever had such a bad temper before?

"Your kindness is wasted! Bah! Let's see what kind of end you get later."

Yao Feiran ran straight to Lin Ruowan's courtyard.

"Madam, there is something I would like to ask of you."

Lin Ruowan didn't mind the other person referring to themselves as "I," and said calmly, "What is it?"

"It was Aunt Zhao who came over to sow discord between me and Madam, saying that since the Second Young Master has become the Heir Apparent, you should get rid of me. I want Madam to help me find out who bribed her."

Aunt Zhao is old and had always been relatively unknown before. Her sudden appearance now must be because someone instigated her.

Yunxiang almost choked. Aunt Yao, quick to speak her mind, came over to complain.

"I understand. I will look into this matter."

"Thank you, Madam."

Yao Feiran noticed the eldest young master beside her. He was a bit paler and stood very straight, but the scars on his face hadn't disappeared. She had heard that Lin Ruowan had been looking for a doctor to remove the scars on her face, but to no avail.

Not long after Yao Feiran left, Lin Ruowan summoned her again.

"Do you have a grudge against Yao Lingyan?"

"She severed ties with us after she got married."

"She bribed Aunt Zhao. I had previously allowed Aunt Zhao to go home once, and then Yao Lingyan contacted her. She was blinded by greed and came over to say these things. Now she has admitted her mistake, and I have also deducted her monthly salary."

"Yes, thank you, Madam."

Yao Feiran was full of doubt. Yao Lingyan married Zhou Qingyan and was doing quite well herself, so why was she always staring at the original owner of this body?

Yao Feiran suspected that the other party was the owner of the bullet comments, and could only wait until she had time to contact her and test the waters.

The comments started scrolling again.

[Yao Lingyan did not bribe Zhao Yue; the two only exchanged a few words, and it was all Lin Ruowan's fabrication.]

[Sigh, Yao Feiran has been fooled by Lin Ruowan again; she didn't even bother to investigate.]

These explanations in the comments were too far-fetched, further confirming Yao Feiran's guess.

More than a month later, Lu Xingzhang returned, this time bringing news with him.

"I was in charge of flood control in Yueyin some time ago, and the results were quite good. His Majesty has agreed to the request to appoint a crown prince."

"Thank you very much, Lord Marquis."

Since Lu Zhao obtained the position of heir apparent, she, as his birth mother, also gained some status.

Why don't you seem happy?

"Of course I'm happy, I just don't smile much."

"......"
