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

He suspected that Yao Feiran was lying through her teeth.

Lu Xingzhang hesitated for a moment and said, "Before I went there this time, I saw a few pages of letters in your room, which contained detailed methods for flood control. They were very suitable for the current situation in Yueyin. I tried the routes in the letters and dug canals and dredged the waterways in advance. This time, the flood was quelled."

This was written by Yao Feiran on purpose. Yueyin floods every year, and she knew some time ago that Lu Xingzhang would be in charge of controlling the floods. She was afraid that he would make a mistake and his claim to the position of heir apparent would be rejected. But if she said it directly, he probably wouldn't listen. It was better to write things in front of him often, and he would be unable to resist his curiosity and would read them.

"Since Your Excellency acknowledges my usefulness, how about rewarding me with some money?"

"Aren't you already flush with cash?"

"Who would complain about having too much money?"

"...Utterly vulgar."

Lu Xingzhang stormed off again, and in the afternoon someone informed him.

"Madam, the lady requests your presence."

After tidying up, Yao Feiran walked over and happened to run into Aunt Zhao. When she saw Yao Feiran, Aunt Zhao's expression immediately turned sour. Yao Lingyan had asked her to sow discord between Yao Feiran and the madam. She liked to eat, and the monthly salary from the Marquis's mansion was not enough, so she agreed on a whim.

She never expected that Yao Feiran would go and complain to her directly.

How dare she!

Yao Feiran said nonchalantly, "Aunt Zhao, do you know why Madam summoned us here?"

Aunt Zhao's voice was both sour and hoarse.

"When the Marquis went to manage the floods, he took a concubine. I heard that she was specially trained and had a very alluring appearance and figure."

Yao Feiran's lips moved, she silently rolled her eyes, and ultimately said nothing.

I could only silently say 6

Upon arriving at Lin Ruowan's courtyard, a young woman came into view. Compared to the other old and dignified concubines, this woman was indeed beautiful. She wore a moon-white ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), and her figure was smaller than the other women, but her slender waist could still be seen.

Yao Feiran saw the aura above her head, which was actually stronger than that of the others.

She glanced at the comments section, and sure enough, it started scrolling.

Chen Yu was the ultimate winner in the Marquis's mansion. It is said that her son eventually inherited the mansion, and she became the matriarch of the Marquis's mansion, enjoying endless wealth and honor throughout her life.

[Sigh, if Yao Feiran underestimates her opponent, she'll probably suffer a great loss.]

[It would be best to get rid of her before she gets up, otherwise it will be too late to regret it after she gives birth to twins.]

The ultimate winner? Lu Zhao is the heir apparent, so the ultimate winner can't possibly be this new concubine, unless Lu Zhao fails to inherit the Marquis's mansion or suffers a plot-driven death.

Yao Feiran glanced at the other person expressionlessly.

Lu Xingzhang sat at the head of the table with Lin Ruowan, whose face was unreadable.

"This is a new maid named Chen Yu. There are many people in the Marquis's mansion. We should all get along well and not overstep our bounds. Please serve the Marquis carefully."

"Yes."

Everyone lowered their heads and looked down respectfully, and Yao Feiran was among them. Then Chen Yu served tea to Lin Ruowan.

Lu Xingzhang left first, and the others dispersed after listening to Lin Ruowan's admonition.

Yao Feiran noticed that Chen Yu had always kept a low profile, and even when someone made sarcastic remarks, she could calmly and politely retaliate.

But because of her luck, she can win even if she lies down.

Yao Feiran secretly wanted to keep an eye on Lin Ruowan and Lu Zhao.

To prevent the two characters from being killed off by the plot.

Some protagonists don't need to do anything; fate will pave the way for them.

With nothing to do, Yao Feiran had her mother bring her a lot of medical books to read. Meanwhile, Xi'er muttered to herself, "This Aunt Chen has been claiming to be sick since she first came in. It's been so long, what's she trying to achieve?"

"You're meddling in other people's business."

Xi'er smiled ingratiatingly: "I was just curious."

"Don't worry, she'll be favored soon."

"Really?"

Half a month later, Chen Yu released lanterns by the lake and recited a line of poetry, which was overheard by Lu Xingzhang, who went to her courtyard that very night.

The next day, Lu Xingzhang came over.

"That Chen was actually faking illness, and she's quite educated, having taught herself. Unfortunately, she was indifferent to me and even said she didn't originally want to enter the Marquis's mansion."

Lu Xingzhang's eyes were complicated, with displeasure mixed with admiration. Yao Feiran thought to herself that the more a man cannot get something, the more he wants to conquer it.

"If the Marquis treats her well, she will gradually accept it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingzhang was so angry that he jumped up and down.

"Does a marquis like me need to appease a woman?"

"Why is Your Excellency so agitated again? You are, after all, an official of the imperial court. Can't you control your emotions a little? Is it only possible to yell at women?"

"......."

Looking at Yao Feiran's deadpan face, Lu Xingzhang felt like he had punched cotton. If he were to punish her for something like this, it would seem like he was being petty.

And sometimes you have to admit that the other party is quite capable. The account of that flood was written in detail and in an organized manner, and he quickly calmed down.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Lu Xingzhang began to talk about matters of the court, such as what the eldest prince had done, who the emperor had scolded, and who had tricked him.

Yao Feiran seemed quite interested and was willing to chime in for a few words, just like listening to some gossip.

"That Zhou Qingyan, I always felt that she wasn't looking at me very well, but she couldn't say anything wrong on the surface."

"My lord, you must trust your own judgment. He is now favored by the emperor, so do not underestimate him."

In the original owner's memories, Zhou Qingyan spoke and acted with great propriety, and had a handsome and refined appearance. In the Hanlin Academy, which was full of talented people, she was able to leave an impression on the emperor, so she was definitely not a simple person.

"You seem to think highly of him, giving him such a high evaluation?"

Yao Feiran noticed Lu Xingzhang's displeasure but did not refute him: "I know that Lord Zhou's knowledge comes from outsiders and he doesn't know the real details. Although the Marquis has a good reputation outside, your handling of matters inside the house doesn't seem very skillful, so I can't comment on you."

"......."

Couldn't she say something nice?

Just then, a cry rang out.

"Father, I miss my aunt. Please take me to see her."

Yao Feiran recognized the speaker as Lu Anning, the eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion and the daughter of Song Qingci.
