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

The guards sent were tasked with finding out the truth.

A few days later, the guard Chen Ming told Yao Feiran what he had found out: "Madam, I asked the pharmacy manager, and he said that you personally prepare all your medicines and dare not be negligent in the slightest, let alone poison them."

If the Duchess was indeed poisoned, this matter will certainly implicate the pharmacy.

"Isn't there anything suspicious about it?"

Chen Ming: "I heard from the shopkeeper that there was a theft at the pharmacy the day before yesterday. The yamen officials came to check several times. Apart from the missing silver, there was nothing else unusual. However, the shopkeeper had already wrapped up the medicine for his wife and put it in the drawer."

"Have you caught them yet?"

"They didn't catch them."

"Has the shopkeeper told anyone else about me getting the medicine?"

"No, he said it was something his wife had instructed him to do, something he hadn't even told his wife."

Yao Feiran rubbed her temples. This matter was indeed difficult to handle. There was no surveillance in ancient times, so they could only wait for that person to reappear.

I'll go see that shopkeeper properly later. Whether he's real or not, I'll know for sure at a glance.

Aside from these minor incidents, the original owner of this body actually had a very good life. Her husband, Qin Fangtian, was the illegitimate son of a minor official's family and was constantly targeted by his stepmother. Later, his face was disfigured, preventing him from participating in the imperial examinations.

The original owner was the daughter of the prefect of Qingzhou. Because of love, she tried to elope with someone but failed. Although her family stopped her, her reputation was already ruined, and her former fiancé broke off the engagement. Yao's mother had no choice but to marry the original owner to Qin Fangtian and gave him a dowry. Yao's father also used his connections to send Qin Fangtian to the army.

When Qin Fangtian arrived at the military camp, he was incredibly lucky, repeatedly achieving military merits. He was a born military talent, saving the emperor who was personally leading the expedition. In the end, he was granted a noble title and now holds military power.

The original owner only gave birth to one daughter, which is why she was anxious and hoped that her second child would be a boy. However, not only did her wish not come true, but she also gave birth to another daughter and lost the possibility of having children again due to a difficult childbirth.

Based on the original owner's memories, Yao Feiran initially judged that even if she didn't have a son, Qin Fangtian would not divorce her, much less take a concubine.

Qin Fangtian was a good person. Even though he didn't like the original owner of the body, he still gave her the respect she deserved. Because he was framed by his stepmother in the past, he disliked concubines and did not want to be born as an illegitimate child. He devoted himself to the battlefield.

The original owner was worried that others would say he was jealous.

There's absolutely no need for that. As long as people flatter her in public, why should she care about the unpleasant things people say behind her back?

Xi'er stepped forward to give her a massage, and Yao Feiran closed her eyes to enjoy it, with sliced ​​fruits and snacks beside her.

This is like living the life of a god right from the start; the original owner of this body was just asking for trouble.

Xi'er's voice was cautious: "Madam, this servant noticed that the Second Miss seems to be ill today."

"Then call the doctor over, I'll go take a look."

Xi'er's eyes flashed with surprise. In the past, the madam disliked this second young lady the most. The servants in the house also treated her differently depending on her status. The charcoal they sent was of such poor quality that it was unusable. Even her monthly salary was embezzled. But Xi'er thought that the second young lady was still the madam's woman after all, and maybe she would regret it later.

As she passed by, she heard the second young lady coughing incessantly. It seemed that there was no charcoal fire burning in the courtyard yet. She felt a pang of sympathy and thought that if she was scolded by the madam, she could just keep quiet.

Yao Feiran went to Qin Xuan's courtyard. The courtyard was simple and small, with only one old woman and two maids taking care of her. Moreover, no one knew where they were, and there was no one guarding them.

She walked straight in, and a crisp cough echoed in the dimly lit room.

Qin Xuan heard footsteps, turned her head and saw a ripple in her indifferent pupils. Yao Feiran touched her forehead, and it seemed that she had a high fever. She touched the quilt, and it seemed to be a summer quilt, thin and light as if it had no weight.

Qin Xuan thought she was dreaming. She seemed to dream that her mother was touching her forehead and tucking her in.

This was a wish she had kept buried deep in her heart, and it finally came true in her dream.

"Go and wake these maids up and tell them to quickly boil a pot of water, or I won't let them off the hook."

"Yes."

After a while, the maid Xiaoyu brought over the boiled water in a flustered manner. Yao Feiran used warm water to wipe Qin Xuan's forehead, palms, hands and feet, and then applied a cold compress to her forehead. After working for half an hour, the doctor arrived.

"Madam, the second young lady has caught a cold. She needs to sweat to relieve the exterior symptoms, clear heat and dispel wind. Let's see if the fever can be reduced after taking a few more doses of medicine."

"Alright, quickly arrange for someone to prepare the medicine."

Yao Feiran kept staring at the other person's body temperature until it felt no longer hot, then she breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Qin Xuan had already opened her eyes. The little girl was still very attached to her mother, but the neglect over the years had made her somewhat timid and distant.

Yao Feiran said, "You should rest well. I will come again tomorrow. The charcoal has been delivered, and no one will dare to be picky from now on. Just use it."

"My mother has always taken care of me, but my illness has been a burden to her."

Qin Xuan looked at Yao Feiran with a guilty conscience, her expression somewhat flattered.

"Over the years, your mother has neglected you. You did nothing wrong. It was your mother's health problems that led to this situation. I'm sorry, and I hope you can let me make it up to you."

Qin Xuan burst into tears, her usual calm demeanor crumbling instantly, and she threw herself into Yao Feiran's arms.

"I have never blamed my mother."

Yao Feiran patted her head. There's still a chance to make amends now, but once the child grows up and her heart is dead, there will be no turning back.

After Qin Xuan recovered, she moved her to a different courtyard and replaced the servants around her. The previous servants were reassigned to hard and tiring jobs. Although the original owner of this body neglected her daughter, she did not instruct these servants to rebel.

Selling them all at once would easily cause unrest among the servants in the mansion, so we can only gradually find fault with them and send them away.

Because of the neglect over the years, Yao Feiran sent a portion of the original owner's jewelry to Qin Xuan's warehouse. The past could not be made up for, so money could be used to make up for it.

Qin Zhen's personality was a bit too domineering. Perhaps because the original owner of this body had always spoiled her, she treated her younger sister with disrespect, snatching her jewelry and food.

Yao Feiran punished her several times, and Qin Zhen probably realized that she was not being treated the best. She became increasingly resentful and irritable. When she was punished to copy books again, she ran away from the mansion.

Yao Feiran received the message immediately: "Send someone to follow her from a distance. If there is no danger, don't worry about her."

Qin Zhen returned obediently after being hungry for a day.

"Mom, don't you like me anymore? You're so cold to me."

Yao Feiran patted Qin Zhen's head.

"Of course your mother loves you."

"If you like me, why are you helping Qin Xuan punish me?!"

"Your sister is my daughter, no different from you. No one can touch your things, but you can just take your sister's things as you please? Of course I have to punish you."

"My mother used to always defend me."

"My mother was wrong before, and as her mother, I should have treated her fairly."

"Hmph, they just don't like me anymore."

"You've always been my mother's daughter, how could I not like you? You must remember that your sister and you are equal in my heart, and you must accept this outcome."

"Waaaah! I hate you! I want to see Daddy!"

Seeing Yao Feiran's serious expression, Qin Zhen finally couldn't hold back her tears and ran back to the courtyard.

Yao Feiran had already noticed Qin Xuan listening from the side. Qin Xuan had been coming over to pay her respects frequently lately. Yao Feiran said gently, "Come on, I'll have Xi'er get you some of your favorite snacks."

"Mother, I've learned a new song."

"You want to play for me?"

"Is that alright?"

Yao Feiran smiled and said, "Of course."
