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

Lu Xingzhang hugged Lu Anning tightly, his heart aching. "Alright, Father will take you to see your mother."

Yao Feiran remained silent. Lu Anning sobbed in Lu Xingzhang's arms, her eyes fixed on Yao Feiran with hostility, and she even rolled her eyes.

Yao Feiran stared at her coldly, a murderous intent flashing in her eyes, her killing aura penetrating directly into her mind.

Lu Anning burst into tears.

"Father, Aunt Yao is so scary—"

Yao Feiran looked at Lu Xingzhang innocently: "I just look a bit fierce, I didn't mean to scare her."

Lu Xingzhang glared at her and left with her. In the afternoon, Xi'er said, "Auntie, the eldest young lady seems to have been frightened today. She has a low-grade fever. The doctor came to see her, and the eldest young lady said that you were the one who frightened her, but no one believes her."

Yao Feiran: ...This child probably won't come to see her again.

In this dynasty, concubines were generally not allowed to leave the mansion at will. Yao Feiran was so bored at home that she was practically growing calluses. She decided to find a way to leave after Lu Yunwan grew up and got married.

Yao Feiran leisurely watched the fish jumping around in the pond from the pavilion.

At this moment, Lin Ruowan walked over and saw Yao Feiran.

Yao Feiran greeted her, "Hello, Madam."

"The women of the Marquis's household will go to the temple to pray for blessings tomorrow; you must go too."

"it is good."

Since Yao Feiran had nothing better to do, when her gaze fell on Lu Zhao, her eyes narrowed slightly. She could see that his luck had plummeted, and his impending doom would likely be resolved tomorrow.

Yao Feiran suppressed her doubts and asked, "Will the young master go?"

"I'll go with them."

Lin Ruowan looked at Lu Zhao with a loving expression.

Yao Feiran didn't say anything more, and left after a while.

The list of people going the next day has been finalized. The old lady went along as well. Except for Lu Zhao, none of the other children went. Because there are many people in the temple, children are more likely to catch a disease, so it is best not to go if possible. As the heir apparent, Lu Zhao had to go along for the important prayer ceremony of the clan.

Also arriving was Chen Yu, who was now the most favored in the Marquis's mansion. Lu Xingzhang was now paying attention to Chen Yu's ambiguous behavior and was giving him various rewards from time to time, much like Song Qingci had done back then.

It was only because Lu Xingzhang often came over to discuss matters with Yao Feiran that she seemed to be the second most favored. However, Yao Feiran had both a son and a daughter, and her son was the heir apparent, so no one dared to openly target her.

Yao Feiran and Chen Yu were in the same carriage, and the two looked at each other in silence.

After a while, Lu Zhao suddenly opened the carriage curtain and said with a smile, "Auntie, I told Mother I wanted to ride in the same carriage as you, and she agreed."

"Nonsense."

Yao Feiran glared at him irritably, and Lu Zhao moved over and sat down next to her.

"Auntie, you made a lot of dried meat for Sister Yunwan the other day, and I want to eat some too."

Yao Feiran looked helpless, took out some dried meat from the package and handed it to Lu Zhao, who happily started eating it.

Chen Yu's eyes flickered as she looked at Yao Feiran with curiosity. She was surprised that the relationship between the mother and son was not as cold as outsiders said. What surprised her even more was that the madam was so magnanimous and let the young master act recklessly.

Lu Zhao still greeted Chen Yu politely, and then started chatting with Yao Feiran.

Lu Zhao liked Yao Feiran's birth mother very much. She could talk about anything, whether it was school or life. She knew a lot and her emotions were much more stable than her father's. When her father checked her homework, he would get furious at the slightest mistake.

With Lu Zhao harassing her along the way, Yao Feiran felt like each day was an eternity. No wonder people say that even dogs dislike seven- or eight-year-old children.

After leaving Lingye Temple, seeing Lu Xingzhang's absent-minded appearance, Yao Feiran remembered that Song Qingci seemed to live here.

Sure enough, a heavily pregnant woman appeared before them, looking like she was about to give birth; otherwise, the old lady wouldn't have let her come out to see people.

Lu Xingzhang still cared about his reputation when he was out in public, so he didn't rush over. He just watched from a distance, his eyes filled with a look that seemed to say, "It's like we're about to part ways."

Really.

He has a new concubine who is highly favored in the mansion, but in public, he can still pretend to be deeply in love with his old flame.

The other concubines looked at Chen Yu with schadenfreude, while Chen Yu lowered her head, revealing a sad expression.

Yao Feiran knew that she was faking it too.

Yao Feiran watched the commotion from the sidelines. After a while, everyone fasted and changed their clothes, and began to pray for blessings.

Towards the end, Song Qingci suddenly cried out, "Ah, my lord, I'm about to give birth!"

The surrounding area was in complete chaos, and the most disoriented of all was Lu Xingzhang, who roared like a headless fly, "Where are the midwives! Where are the midwives we prepared?!"

Soon, several women were pushed and shoved out: "Reporting to the Marquis, we are here."

"Take good care of Aunt Song! If anything happens to her, you'll all be in for a world of hurt!"

"I'm not seeing things, am I? Song Qingci looks like she's about to die."

Yao Feiran vaguely saw that the other party's fortune was shrouded in a dark aura.

Reversal of Fate Beads: "That's right, she will likely die during childbirth."

Upon hearing this, Yao Feiran smiled slightly: "That's good. Finally, one troublemaker is dead, and I don't have to lift a finger."

At this moment, Yao Feiran noticed Lin Ruowan watching Aunt Song's departing figure with a cold glint in her eyes.

It turns out that Lin Ruowan made the move. Hopefully, she didn't leave any evidence against her.

So who exactly caused Lu Zhao's fatal mistake?

.....

Because of Aunt Song's childbirth, Lu Xingzhang did not come over at all. The old lady's face was dark: "Everyone, please have your meal first. Xingzhang probably won't be back for a while."

Everyone settled down at their small seats to eat vegetarian food. Lu Zhao was in front of Lin Ruowan, and Yao Feiran kept a close eye on him. After a while, a bowl of medicinal food was brought over. Children often have minor illnesses, and Lin Ruowan would give him a special medicinal meal to strengthen his spleen after meals.

Yao Feiran went over directly and stopped the medicinal food from being delivered.

"Madam, you can't eat this; it's poisoned."

Lin Ruowan was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and said, "Yao, sit down! Don't be impolite."

The old lady was upstairs and noticed this area as well.

"Yao, what do you want to do?"

"It is indeed poisonous, Your Highness cannot eat it. I have some medical knowledge, and if it is false, I am willing to accept punishment."

Lu Zhao also stood up and said respectfully, "Grandmother, I trust Aunt. Could you please send a doctor to take a look?"

The person who delivered the medicinal meal was Lu Zhao's head maid, named Zhiyun. She was stunned when she heard that it was poisonous, and her mind went blank. She had made the medicinal meal herself, and if it was poisonous, she would also be implicated.

The old lady's face was cold and hard, and after a moment of awkward silence, she finally spoke.

"Please summon a doctor. I want to see if Madam Yao truly possesses this ability."

Soon the doctor arrived. He smelled the medicine, fiddled around for a bit, caught a mouse, and fed it to the mouse. The mouse started running around erratically shortly after drinking it, and eventually died.

Everyone was startled. The doctor said, "Madam, there is arsenic in this. Even a little bit can cause severe pain. If the young master drinks it, his life will be in danger."

The old lady said coldly, "Investigate! Who prepared this medicinal diet?"
