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

Yao Feiran spared three people and reported the incident to the authorities.

The attack on the Duchess outside the city caused a great uproar. This matter concerned the security of the capital. Under the emperor's nose, the emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.

Yao Feiran continued on her journey and encountered no further danger along the way.

We arrived at the Yao family's residence.

There were already people standing outside, and Yao Feiran noticed that her mother was also there.

Now that Yao Feiran is the wife of the Duke's mansion, representing the Duke's family, the Yao family treats her with the courtesy due to a distinguished guest.

Yao Feiran got off the carriage and, seeing that everyone was about to bow, stepped forward and pulled her mother along.

"Mother, what are you doing?"

"You represent the Duke's Mansion; proper etiquette cannot be disregarded."

"Don't stand on ceremony, it'll only make you feel uncomfortable. Come on in."

Urged on by Yao Feiran, the group finally entered the mansion.

Yao Feiran delivered several boxes of gifts inside, and the people around her looked on with envy. Yao's mother smiled, unable to hide her joy.

During the day, there were many guests, so Yao Feiran stayed in the courtyard to rest. This was the courtyard before the original owner got married, and it had been preserved ever since.

It wasn't until evening that the family gathered together, and later that night, Yao Feiran spoke with her mother alone.

"How have you been these past few years? General Qin is away from home most of the time, and it must have been tough for you to support yourself all by yourself."

"It's not difficult at all. Once the man returns home, there's even more to do. He rarely comes back; he's so leisurely."

Yao's mother said irritably, "You child, your temperament is the same as it was back then. Fortunately, General Qin is a good person."

"He's not bad."

"You had a difficult childbirth when you gave birth to Xuan'er. Has your body not recovered yet?"

"What's there to recuperate? You can't have children anymore."

Madam Yao was taken aback and looked around, saying, "General Qin probably doesn't know about this."

"He already knew. Whether it's two daughters or not, Zhenzhen has already decided to find a husband."

Yao's mother looked at her as if she were a devil incarnate.

"Then you must treat General Qin well. He's so good to you. It's rare to find a man like him in this world. It's just a coincidence that you met him."

"My daughters are no bad either. I gave him two daughters. Childbirth is a life-or-death experience for women. I went through it twice for him, so of course he has to treat me well."

Yao's mother's eyes widened, not expecting Yao Feiran to think this way. Then she smiled with relief. Her husband doted on her, and without her mother-in-law's nagging, her daughter was born lucky, which is why she developed such a personality.

Yao Feiran stayed at the Yao family home for a few days. Her aunt, Yao Shuli, came to visit, bringing with her a girl who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old.

The original owner of this body had a so-so relationship with this aunt, so Yao Shuli came to find her specifically.

"Niece, I always thought you were extraordinary, but I never imagined you would become the Duchess of the State. You will enjoy endless wealth and honor for the rest of your life."

Yao Feiran's expression remained unchanged. Back when the original owner married Qin Fangtian, this aunt was somewhat gloating, mainly because she disliked Yao's mother. When Yao's mother married into the family, this aunt was not yet married. The two had some disagreements, and it was hard to say who was right and who was wrong, but they had a falling out. Yao Feiran was also not well-liked.

"Aunt, what brings you here?"

"I've come to tell you something. You've been married to General Qin for almost twenty years, but you don't have a son to rely on. I don't know where the title of Duke's Mansion will end up. If your two daughters get married, won't they be left without anyone to rely on?"

"My husband and I are not dead, so how can we not be considered as dependent on each other?"

"You will all grow old eventually."

"When we get old, they will have established themselves and won't need to rely on their maternal families anymore."

Yao Shuli looked disapproving: "Listen to your aunt. How could your aunt harm you?"

"Of course you'll hurt me. You were gloating when I got married, but I never intended to give you any face."

Xi'er was surprised that her mother still had such a sharp tongue, and lowered her head to hide her expression.

Yao Shuli's face turned ashen. Yao Feiran had suddenly torn off all pretense, and she was stunned for a long time.

"Aunt, just because I address you respectfully doesn't mean you can take advantage of me. You want to introduce your niece to the Duke's mansion? Dream on!"

"Your kindness is wasted; let's see if you can stay so smug!"

Yao Shuli stormed off, and a while later, her mother arrived.

"What did you say that made her so angry?"

"She wants to introduce a concubine to my husband. Ugly people always cause trouble."

Madam Yao was also very angry. Even if Yao Feiran really needed a concubine, it was not her place to arrange it. She was just jealous of the Duke's mansion's immense wealth.

"She's a petty person, don't let her affect your mood."

"Of course I know."

Yao Shuli stayed there, and Yao Feiran also saw the girl, who was a concubine's daughter in Yao Shuli's household. Her name was Chen Yiqu. She was indeed very beautiful, but she was a bit introverted and didn't talk much.

Judging from her appearance, she didn't seem like someone who would curry favor with the wealthy; she must have been forced to come by Yao Shuli.

In the morning, the family gathered together to drink tea and listen to opera. Yao Shuli was also there, with a sour face. Yao Feiran didn't care about her mood at all and ate and drank as usual.

Qin Zhen and Qin Xuan liked their maternal grandmother and always stayed with her. Yao's mother almost gave all her most treasured possessions to these two granddaughters.

Yao Feiran thought that Qin Fangtian would be back soon, and since the truth about the assassination attempt had not yet been found out, it was time for her to leave.

At this moment, Xi'er walked over excitedly.

"Madam, Master has come to fetch you."

Yao Feiran raised an eyebrow. He had come all the way to pick her up; this place was quite far from the capital.

At this, Mr. and Mrs. Yao quickly went to the door, tidying themselves up as they went.

Everyone bowed again at the door.

"No need for formalities, I've come to take your wife home."

Yao Feiran walked over and saw Qin Fangtian dressed in a black casual outfit, his hair looked a little messy, and he looked travel-worn.

Yao Feiran stepped forward: "Husband, you didn't rush here overnight, did you?"

Seeing her rosy complexion, Qin Fangtian breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, I heard that you were attacked on the way. After returning to the capital to report on your duties, you rushed here day and night."

"I was not hurt; I was prepared."

"I know, are you going home today?"

"Return."

Qin Fangtian nodded and got off the carriage. Yao's mother instructed the servants, "Quickly bring some food."

Yao Shuli patted Chen Yiqu on the shoulder: "Be smart, this is a good opportunity. Don't forget, your aunt is still sick."

Chen Yiqu looked embarrassed. She bit her lower lip and gripped the hem of her clothes tightly with her fingers.

Yao Feiran accompanied Qin Fangtian to dinner. Qin Fangtian, who was in the military camp all year round, ate very quickly but without being impolite. In the blink of an eye, his plate was empty.

Just then, a timid voice came from behind.

"Lord Duke, please rinse your mouth."

Yao Feiran looked up and saw Chen Yiqu standing to the side, her hand trembling slightly as she held up a cup.

She had just told Yao's mother that she didn't want anyone to serve her, but then Chen Yiqu came in. That Yao Shuli is really bold.

Qin Fangtian glanced at the other person directly. Chen Yiqu was already scared, and when she saw the scar on Qin Fangtian's face, she screamed in fright and dropped the cup in her hand.

"roll!"
