Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Die a Natural Death
Chapter 475 The Duchess 17
"Your son just passed the preliminary imperial examination and already wants to marry a daughter of the Duke's family? Do you think my daughter will accept any kind of trash?"
Qin Fangtian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his wife said what he wanted to say.
Luo Wenxi clenched his fist: "Then... could you lend me three hundred taels of silver?"
"I don't know you at all. Do you think the Duke's mansion's money comes from thin air and you can just casually give him three hundred taels?"
Luo Wenxi choked up, his eyes swirling with embarrassment and suppressed emotions, and finally couldn't help but speak.
"You're nothing but a lowly woman who can elope with anyone at will. Now you're the wife of the Duke's mansion, and you still look down on me. Aren't you afraid I'll bring out the letters from back then, and your reputation will be ruined?"
"I became the Duchess of the Duke's mansion because of my good fortune," Yao Feiran said with a half-smile. "I'll see how you ruin my reputation."
It seems that when the Yao family took these things back then, some still slipped through the net. However, her handwriting is completely different from the original owner's, and she won't give him that chance.
Qin Fangtian's eyes were already filled with murderous intent. When Luo Wenxi saw those murderous eyes, his scalp tingled with fear, and he felt a pang of regret.
When his elopement failed, the Yao family hated him for seducing their young lady. They beat him up and took away all the money and books Yao Feiran had given him. He was picky and unambitious, finding fault with women whose families were poor and powerless. He ended up being deceived by a widow who left behind a son and ran away.
He failed the imperial examinations repeatedly and could only become a private tutor. He also became addicted to gambling and was harassed by debt collectors, so he had to close the private tutoring school.
When he was desperate, someone came to him and asked him to use this method to threaten Yao Feiran so that his son would marry into the Duke's family, thus making him the Duke's in-law.
In his memory, Yao Feiran was willful and capricious, but she was actually timid and cared about her reputation. Otherwise, her elopement would not have been exposed in advance.
So many years have passed, and Yao Feiran has changed so much. She is now composed in every gesture, speaks slowly and deliberately, and exudes the authority of a superior.
They are from completely different worlds.
Luo Wenxi wanted to appeal to emotions, but with Qin Fangtian watching him intently, he swallowed hard and ultimately dared not say anything.
"Men, throw him out!"
Luo Wenxi was thrown out by the guards. He walked aimlessly down the street. People were playing dice on the street. Greed and anxiety flashed in his eyes. Finally, he gradually lost control.
It was all Yao Feiran's fault that he was in this state. If he were given some money, he could make a comeback. Why wouldn't he want to? He staggered to the most bustling place, when suddenly someone smiled and said to him.
"Hey bro, wanna go for a game over there?"
Luo Wenxi was somewhat tempted: "I...I don't have any money."
"That's nothing, the first round is mine."
............
After a while, the guard Chen Liang returned to the mansion.
"General, Young Master Naluo has already entered the casino."
"understood."
Knowing that she wouldn't need to do anything about what happened next, Yao Feiran took a sip of tea and said, "Husband, we haven't seen each other for over ten years. He's just a stranger to me."
Having spent so much time with him, Yao Feiran had long noticed that he always had a tense expression.
"I know, I believe you."
If it weren't for this twist of fate, he would never have been able to marry Yao Feiran. If he cared about her past, he wouldn't have married her.
However, he used to marry her out of a sense of responsibility, but now, unknowingly, a hint of inexplicable affection has crept in.
Things I used to not care about, I now care about.
Yao Feiran: "Thank you for trusting me unconditionally."
Qin Fangtian's expression was somewhat unnatural. Yao Feiran couldn't tell if he blushed or not because his face was too dark to see clearly, so she gave up.
After some time, Qin Fangjun impeached Li Chenxuan for crimes such as embezzlement, bribery, and dereliction of duty, and submitted the evidence. The emperor was furious and subsequently had Li Chenxuan flogged sixty times.
Li Chenxuan had finally been reinstated, only to be dismissed again.
Yun'an Marquis's Mansion
Li Chenxuan lay on the bed, breathing weakly, like a dead fish.
At this moment, the manager came over with a box.
"My lord, someone outside says they have something important to give you."
"Who is it?"
"A man in his thirties dropped the box and left."
"Open it and take a look."
The steward opened the box, and a severed hand appeared before him, with Luo Wenxi's name written on it.
He owed a hundred taels of silver due to gambling, so he cut off his hand to pay it off.
The steward was so startled that he trembled, and the box fell to the ground with a thud.
Li Chenxuan's face darkened; this was Qin Fangtian warning him.
Qin Fangtian didn't care at all about a woman who failed to elope, and even stood up for her.
.........
Meanwhile, a letter arrived from the Yao family, informing them that Yao's mother's sixtieth birthday was approaching.
Having not returned for so many years, it was time for Qin Fangtian to go back. He gave up hope, as the emperor had once again assigned him to go south on an inspection tour.
Yao Feiran happened to be taking her daughter back home.
However, as she packed her luggage, she felt a vague sense of unease.
Is someone trying to sabotage her journey?
Since that's the case, then we should make more preparations. Since you dared to ambush her, then leave your lives behind.
Yao Feiran reinforced the carriage several times, put on her inner armor, and gave the guards and servants special inner garments. They wore ordinary clothes on the outside, so nothing seemed amiss. Guards were hiding inside the carriages carrying luggage and gifts.
Looking at all the carriages and boxes, Qin Xuan hesitated and said, "Mother, isn't this too high-profile? Won't it attract gossip?"
Qin Xuan was a cautious person. Yao Feiran said, "These are all the shop's business. Your father is upright and honest, so he has nothing to fear from those with ulterior motives. Your maternal grandmother used to treat your mother very well. Your mother hasn't been back for so many years, so it's okay to bring more things."
The Yao family treated the original owner quite well, and Qin Fangtian also helped the Yao family several times after he rose to power.
Yao Feiran left early in the morning and walked onto the official road. After some time, Yao Feiran lifted the curtain, and Xi'er understood immediately.
"Madam said she would like to rest here for a while."
After everyone put their things away, they sat down to drink water. If you looked closely, you could see that everyone had sharp eyes and was constantly looking around, with their right hands gripping the hilts of their knives.
Soon, the sound of rapid hoofbeats came from afar, indicating a dozen or so men who were blocked from both the front and the rear. Arrows were being shot from above, and the prepared guards raised their shields.
Yao Feiran instructed, "The two of you must stay in the carriage and not come out."
The two sisters said worriedly, "Mother, you can't stay in the carriage. It's too dangerous to get off."
"Mother will be alright."
Yao Feiran picked up the crossbow and got off the carriage.
With a calm and composed expression, she drew her bow and shot at the person at the front.
call out--
An arrow pierced his shoulder. The leader felt a sharp pain, his vision blurred, and he fell off his horse.
With this beginning, four or five people jumped out of each carriage, and before long, Yao Feiran shot and killed the people on the high place.
"Run!"
The attacker sensed something was wrong and turned to run, but it was too late.
