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

"If he hadn't said it, I wouldn't have bothered with this. You should know a thing or two about his attitude towards you lately."

Wang Muyuan's expression changed several times before she finally regained her composure: "Don't worry, I have no other intentions towards General Qin, Madam. Please allow me to stay a few more days. I will definitely give you an answer after the Spring Festival."

"I see."

With half a month to go before the Spring Festival, Yao Feiran guessed that she wanted to do something, otherwise she wouldn't have contacted Qin Zhen, but her methods were a bit too crude.

Since Qin Zhen cried in Yao Feiran's arms, the relationship between the mother and daughter has improved a lot. At least when Yao Feiran gives them things, she no longer says anything. However, the relationship between the two sisters is still relatively cold.

Half a month later, Yao Feiran followed Qin Fangtian into the palace.

He held military power and was deeply trusted by the emperor, which in turn earned her the respect of his wife.

However, Yao Feiran keenly sensed a cold gaze, carrying a hint of murderous intent, and she suddenly met the person's eyes.

It was a man in his twenties. When he saw Yao Feiran making eye contact with him, he was clearly stunned. Yao Feiran asked Qin Fangtian, "Who is this man?"

Qin Fangtian's usually calm expression twitched slightly: "Madam, this is Marquis Yun'an, Li Chenxuan. His first wife recently died, and he is a civil official; his figure is not as good as mine."

Yao Feiran: "...What are you thinking? I feel like this person is looking at me with some hostility. I don't remember offending him."

Qin Fangtian knew that this lady wouldn't lie, so Li Chenxuan was genuinely hostile towards her.

I will look into this matter.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot something. I was almost poisoned to death when I was getting medicine before. The shopkeeper's pharmacy was burglarized at night, but the authorities didn't find the culprit."

Qin Fangtian's expression turned colder: "Why didn't anyone tell me?"

An embarrassed look crossed Yao Feiran's face: "I don't want them to leak this out. After all, we can't find the murderer, and who knows what people will think if it gets out."

Yao Feiran gave a warning to the servants who knew about the matter, telling them not to let it leak out. Since the murderer couldn't be found, she didn't want it to become a topic of conversation.

The best policy is to have someone in charge now, and no one has dared to tell Qin Fangtian yet.

Yao Feiran: "I'll let it go this time, I'll be more careful next time."

The pharmacy owner knew that Yao Feiran had almost been poisoned to death, and later sent her a large sum of money. Yao Feiran talked with him for a while and realized from his eyes and heartbeat that he was not lying. She also went to see the pharmacy clerks and found that the two clerks had no idea what the owner's medicine was. The owner always delivered it to Xi'er by himself.

Either they inadvertently revealed it to someone with ulterior motives, or it's just superstition and supernatural phenomena.

After all, it's not surprising that there are other people who know the plot, given that we've already seen the time traveler.

Upon arriving at the banquet hall, the emperor had not yet arrived. Each household sat at a separate table, and she sat next to Lady Shen, the wife of the Duke of Wei.

"I heard that General Qin brought a woman with him, quite dashing and spirited. Is General Qin thinking of taking her as a concubine?"

The noble ladies of the capital envied Yao Fei's clean backyard and the absence of her mother-in-law's nagging. They would always find fault with her and say things. The pressure on the original owner came from these rumors. But everyone lives their own life behind closed doors, so why care about what others think?

"This is the daughter of my husband's deputy general. Why take her as a concubine? Isn't this repaying kindness with enmity?"

"Even though General Qin didn't say anything, you can't be ungrateful. Being jealous is not a good reputation. If this goes on for too long, General Qin will resent you."

"My husband has never mentioned taking a concubine, and I am living comfortably. Why make myself miserable? If you want concubines, then take a few more for your husband. That way, the young master will have younger brothers to help him."

Shen's face darkened; she never imagined that Yao Feiran, who usually appeared timid, would dare to stab her like this.

"With her sharp tongue, she'll be abandoned by General Qin sooner or later."

Yao Feiran's face was full of fierceness: "Mind your own business. My husband has been fighting on the front lines for many years. I manage the rear so that he has no worries. Are you trying to sow discord between my husband and me? If so, my husband should ask Lord Li why he always wants me to go against his wishes and take a concubine. Is he trying to cause unrest in my household?"

In the capital, a woman's status was largely tied to that of her husband. Qin Fangtian was far superior to Li Rui, who held only a title but no real power. However, the original owner of this body felt inferior because she couldn't bear a son, making her feel insecure and unable to stand on her own two feet. No wonder others dared to speak to her like that.

Shen's face turned pale, seemingly frightened by Yao Feiran.

Qin Fangtian and Yao Feiran sat side by side on the other side. Hearing Yao Feiran's amplified voice, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"The Duchess of Wei said that I cannot bear a son, and if I do not allow my husband to take a concubine, he will eventually divorce me."

The voice was quite loud, and many people heard it. Even the conversations quieted down a bit. Madam Shen was shocked that Yao Feiran dared to say anything. Her heart skipped a beat, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to hide in.

Yao Feiran really isn't afraid of losing face!

"I...I didn't."

Qin Fangtian gave her a disgusted look: "It is I, Qin, who do not wish to take a concubine. Besides, my wife has given me two daughters, which is enough. Please, Madam of the Duke of Wei, do not sow discord."

The people around had different expressions. Just then, Duke Li Rui of Wei arrived. He quickly smiled apologetically and said, "It was my wife who was impolite. Madam Shen, please apologize to the Duke's wife."

Looking into Li Rui's cold eyes, Shen felt a pang of panic: "I'm sorry."

"It's alright. I'm not one to pick fights. It's just that every time we meet, the Duchess of Wei brings up this matter. After it happened so many times, I just wanted to clarify things."

Hearing Yao Feiran say this, everyone present understood that Shen was jealous. The Duke of Wei had many women in his harem, including many illegitimate children. The Duke of Wei only supported his large family with his salary. He looked glamorous on the outside, but only he knew how he was actually living.

This is because they can't stand seeing Yao Feiran living too well.

At this moment, the eunuch announced, "His Majesty has arrived!"

Everyone sat upright, and Yao Feiran also bowed in the same manner as the crowd.

"Long live Your Majesty! Long live the Empress!"

"Rise, everyone. This is a family dinner, so there's no need to be so formal."

Qin Fangtian was a favorite of the emperor. Throughout the banquet, the emperor asked questions and Qin Fangtian answered. Occasionally, he would ask about Yao Feiran, who responded calmly. After a long time, the banquet finally came to a successful end.

Qin Fangtian led Yao Feiran away, saying, "Don't take what outsiders say to heart."

"I didn't take it to heart, but she brought it up whenever she saw me. I might as well confront her today to avoid her nagging me in the future."

"Um."
