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

"My lord, the Third Young Master pushed Zhao'er into the water and deserves to be punished. He's so young and already thinking about murder. Otherwise, he'll become the future Second Young Master of the Song family, destined for punishment at the Dali Temple when he grows up."

The second son of the Song family was a typical playboy in the capital, who spent his days bullying men and women and was idle. In the end, he was sent to prison for forcing a respectable woman into marriage.

When Lu Xingzhang saw Yao Feiran, his anger had not yet subsided. He was about to kick her when he saw her venomous eyes and remembered how he had tortured Cuiyu. His anger quickly dissipated.

He was certain that if he dared to make a move, the other party would retaliate immediately. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to say that Yao Feiran was more capable than him.

She insisted on protecting Lin Ruowan so much; she couldn't let her live.

He was all bark and no bite: "What do you mean, 'pushed him into the water'? Isn't that a charge you deliberately set up? Can't you tolerate Qingci's child at all?"

Yao Feiran looked down and noticed the murderous intent in Lu Xingzhang's eyes. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a mocking smile.

She turned around, picked up the clothes from the stool in the inner room, and suddenly threw them at Lu Xingzhang.

"You are a marquis, don't you know the situation in this mansion? If you don't believe me, Madam, go ask the old lady. Zhao'er has just fallen asleep, and his wet clothes haven't been cleaned yet, there are still duckweed on them."

The situation was serious just now. We had to wipe the body and brew medicine. After the clothes were taken off, no one took care of them. Then Lin Ruowan came and the clothes were just left aside.

"Yao! Shi!"

The cold, soaking wet clothes hit Lu Xingzhang's face with considerable force; he could even feel a burning pain on his face, and his expression instantly darkened.

Just then, a little boy ran over and hugged Lu Xinzhang's leg.

"Dad, please don't punish Third Brother, okay? He definitely didn't do it on purpose."

Yao Feiran recognized the child as Chen Yu's son.

Lu Yihan

Chen Yu, who was running after him, quickly hugged Lu Yihan, her face full of apology.

"My lord, the child is too naughty and insists on seeing the third and fourth young masters."

Lu Xingzhang's expression softened considerably. He patted Lu Yihan's head and said irritably, "Running so fast, even your mother can't catch up."

He then looked up at Chen Yu and said, "It's alright, Yi Han is just showing respect and care for his elder brother."

What kind of brother is he? When Lu Zhao fell into the water, he didn't care about Lu Zhao at all. Instead, he came over to plead for Lu Zeying.

Chen Yu walked over, looked at the Third Young Master Ru Mo, and revealed a gentle smile.

"My lord, my lady, I see that the third young master has already realized his mistake and has been punished, so let it go. The weather is freezing cold, and kneeling in the ancestral hall might not be good for his knees."

In general, when someone from the Marquis's household makes a mistake, they are forced to kneel in the ancestral hall and write a letter of self-criticism. However, Chen Yu's words make it seem as if Lin Ruowan is deliberately trying to harm Lu Zeying's health.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Lu Xingzhang's gaze towards Lin Ruowan grew even colder.

"You vile woman, do you want Ze Ying to be crippled like Zhi Yuan?"

Upon hearing him say the word "disabled," Lin Ruowan almost lost her balance, and Yao Feiran quickly supported her.

A hush fell over the surroundings. Yao Feiran wasn't angry; getting angry was useless with this kind of person.

Only a genuine counterattack is the best course of action.

Lin Ruowan took a long time to stand up. Her pupils were indifferent, and she looked at Lu Xingzhang expressionlessly: "Since the Marquis does not allow me to take care of the child, then you may take him away."

Yao Feiran noticed that Lin Ruowan's fingers were trembling, probably because she was very angry.

The farce ended abruptly, and since the old lady is now in poor health and doesn't care much about the affairs of the manor, Lin Ruowan didn't seek anyone to uphold justice.

Lu Zhao fell asleep peacefully, and Yao Feiran began to disinfect Lin Ruowan's ears. She checked and found that the eardrum was not seriously damaged. The blood from earlier should have been from a fingernail scratch. Fortunately, she was still slightly injured, and her ears would be uncomfortable for a while. Lin Ruowan remained blankly indifferent throughout.

Yunxiang wept silently to the side: "Madam has worked hard all these years, even if she hasn't achieved anything great. The Marquis is too cruel to Madam. Why can everyone trample on Madam?"

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Ruowan suddenly spoke up: "Yunxiang, you can go down now. I have something to say to Aunt Yao."

When only the two of them were left in the room.

Yao Feiran smiled and asked, "Have you thought it through?"

Do you have anyone you can trust?

"Of course I have the people. I'm an expert judge of character, absolutely foolproof. But I need the Lin family's assistance. Can you persuade the Lin family?"

"I can."

"it is good."

Yao Feiran smiled brightly, but her eyes held a cold glint.

She had long known that Lu Zhao would eventually become a thorn in her side. Over the years, Lu Xingzhang had paid little attention to his son Lu Zhao, focusing all his attention and love on Song Qingci's son, Lu Zeying.

Unfortunately, Lu Zeying will not become the heir apparent.

The subsequent plot will likely see Chen Yu's son become the heir apparent and inherit the title.

How could Yao Feiran allow such an outcome?

A month later, Lu Xingzhang's body was brought back, accompanied by the emperor's chief eunuch.

The old lady fainted immediately.

Lin Ruowan was startled, not expecting Yao Feiran to act so directly. She steadied herself, looking utterly devastated.

"Steward Liu, what happened? Wasn't my husband supposed to go to the border? How come he's come back like this?"

"Alas, Madam, please accept my condolences. Lord Lu went to the border to inspect the defenses and supervise military affairs. On his way back, he was assassinated and his troops got separated. By the time they found Lord Lu, he was already like this."

Lin Ruowan burst into tears: "My husband is gone, what are we going to do? Has the murderer been found?"

"The murderer must be from Yeguo." Steward Liu gritted his teeth. "Don't worry, the Marquis sacrificed himself for the country, His Majesty will never forget you."

Although Lin Ruowan had doubts in her heart, she still looked like she was about to faint.

Not long after.

The imperial edict was issued, appointing Lu Zhao as the new Marquis of Xinyang, allowing the Marquisate to retain its title for three generations, and also rewarding him with a considerable amount of gold and silver.

Lin Ruowan suppressed her joy and accepted the imperial decree with a weak expression.

She secretly summoned Yao Feiran.

"The Marquis has passed away, so why are we still receiving rewards?"

Yao Feiran smiled mysteriously: "Before he died, he had a border map of Ye Kingdom hidden in his chest."

Lin Ruowan was both surprised and delighted.

"Then the Marquis truly sacrificed himself for the country. No wonder His Majesty bestowed such a generous reward upon the Marquis's residence. Is the defense map over there genuine?"

"Of course it's true. It's not easy to get your hands on something like this."

The Yao family had been merchants for many years and had the best information network. They even went to great lengths to find the easiest person to bribe, promising huge profits, and finally got their hands on him.

Lin Ruowan's face showed no joy of victory; her eyes were filled with complex emotions, and tears streamed down her face.

"From now on, I can finally rest easy. These past years, I've been suffering every moment. He hates me for killing the person he loves most, and how could I not hate him too? I hate him! But I'm even more afraid of him, afraid that I can't escape his underhanded tactics, afraid that he will target Lu Zhao in order to make Lu Zeying take the position."
