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

Mu Linzheng also rushed over. He was in pretty good spirits, but when he heard that his precious daughter had met a scumbag, he was furious. He pointed at Yao Feiran and said, "How could you judge people like that? How could you allow Xiaoyue to marry someone like that?"

"I even summoned the Imperial Concubine Song to take a look. There was nothing I could do; people's hearts are fickle, and no one can predict the future."

Moreover, this time it's both the male and female leads, which means that even if Mu Ningyue is tortured, she will still end up with Zhang Wangxing.

This is really frustrating.

Song Jingning's face darkened. She had indeed thought Zhang Wangxing looked quite good; apart from his poor family background, he was a very outstanding person.

I never expected that his supposedly simple parents would be such dishonest people, and that a cousin would suddenly appear. Zhang Wangxing was also cowardly and incompetent, always wavering.

Song Jingning now finally understands how foolish she was when she was young. She had a chance to escape the fire, but she insisted on staying by his side as if she were bewitched.

Is this also hereditary?

Yao Feiran didn't know what to say, so she could only leave this matter to Song Jingning to handle.

Song Jingning ran over and saw Mu Ningyue's worried face, and couldn't help but slap her.

Having been pampered by her parents for so many years, this was the first time Mu Ningyue had been hit, and she didn't react for a long time.

"Mother, why did you hit me?"

Song Jingning touched her cheek with a hint of regret.

"It's because your mother spoiled you too much, making you too naive. A prince consort jumped on your head, and you're still feeling sorry for yourself. Don't forget, you are the eldest princess, representing the dignity of the royal family. He dared to treat you like this because you were too cowardly."

Song Jingning's voice trembled with determination: "I'll give you one night to think it over. Tomorrow your father will issue an edict for you to separate from your husband. If you're unwilling, then pretend you don't have a mother like me."

She would never allow such a fool as herself to appear again. No, Mu Ningyue was even more foolish than her, a woman of noble birth who was manipulated by a country bumpkin.

A sense of panic welled up in Mu Ningyue's heart, and her eyes reddened. Her mother had never spoken such harsh words to her before.

The scales in her heart tipped in an instant.

Between her mother and Zhang Wangxing, she would naturally choose her mother.

"Mother, you can't abandon me. I know what to do."

Song Jingning's expression softened considerably. She patted Mu Ningyue's hand and said, "Princess, you have no trouble getting married. At worst, you can keep a few male concubines. Why get entangled with this kind of person?"

The mother and daughter talked for a long time. Song Jingning also told Mu Ningyue about the foolish things she did when she was young, hoping that she would not repeat the same mistakes and would cut her losses in time.

After Song Jingning left, Mu Ningyue sold off the treacherous maid and imprisoned the guards who protected Zhang Wangxing's cousin on the grounds of dereliction of duty, and sentenced them to death.

After taking stock of her dowry, she moved directly to the princess's residence.

When Zhang Wangxing returned home, he saw the Zhuangyuan Mansion empty. His mother was still crying and wailing, saying that her unfilial daughter-in-law had taken the hairpin from her head and her hair was in a mess.

My cousin said cautiously, "For some reason, my sister-in-law took all the things from the house as soon as she arrived, and even pushed my mother to the ground."

Mother Zhang chimed in, "Yes, our Zhang family can't afford a daughter-in-law like that. She's jealous and doesn't respect me. You must divorce her."

"Mother, she's a princess, not an ordinary person! Are you trying to kill me?"

"So what? Even if she's a princess, she's still your wife. Isn't it her duty to be filial to her parents-in-law and respectful to her husband?"

Zhang Wangxing stumbled and ran to the princess's residence, only to find that he couldn't even get through the gate.

The guard outside the door said coldly, "Lord Zhang, Her Highness the Princess will never see you again. Give up."

The cold wind chilled him to the bone. This garment, a gift from Mu Ningyue, was made of the finest brocade, with a royal-grade long silk brocade lining—lightweight and warm, yet even it couldn't ward off the bone-chilling cold.

Yao Feiran was also surprised by Song Jingning's decisiveness and Mu Ningyue's quick realization.

Did the "mama's boy" ultimately triumph over the "love-obsessed"?

The next day, Zhang Wangxing received an imperial edict dissolving his marriage. It read "completely severed," not even a divorce, and the previous marital relationship was cancelled.

The emperor confiscated all of Zhang Wangxing's titles, mansions, gold, silver, and jewels. Because of his disrespect towards the princess, the emperor exiled him to a harsh, cold place thousands of kilometers away, where he would probably never return to the capital.

Mother Zhang was stunned. In their hometown, wives were often treated like dirt, especially since her son was a top scholar. How could things be different in the capital, where they could even dissolve their marriage?

Zhang Wangxing lowered his head; his premonition had indeed come true.

He was overwhelmed by endless regret. He only wanted to appease his mother and never thought of separating from her.

But she had already given herself no chance.

Zhang Wangxing slunk away from the capital, and Yao Feiran thought to herself that this was the normal way to write a tragic novel.

It looks much more comfortable now.

More than a decade later, the Emperor Emeritus passed away, and Song Jingning returned to the capital. The Song family had long since fallen into decline, and her parents had repeatedly expressed their regret to her, hoping that she could forgive them. Song Jingning had no intention of seeing them again and had even told Mu Linzheng that she did not want the Song family to prosper.

At the time, Mu Linzheng still felt somewhat guilty because of the Crown Prince's matter. Song's father was not a good person either. Under Mu Linzheng's constant suppression, the Song family had long been dismissed from their posts and were living in a house in the suburbs.

Song Yuewan spent her entire life in a temple, and upon hearing that Song Jingning was doing better and better, she passed away amidst the insults.

Just then, Mu Qingyan returned to the capital. He was now extremely old, and no one would associate him with the emperor. Looking back, he regretted not cherishing Song Jingning and instead trusting a vicious woman.

It wasn't until Song Jingning left that he began to realize that he had become unlike himself for her sake, and was even willing to give up the position of Crown Prince.

In the end, he was abandoned by his mother.

A good hand was played terribly.

Yao Feiran hadn't expected Mu Qingyan and Song Jingning to arrive at the same time; this was truly a chaotic situation.

However, she still met with both of them at the same time.

Song Jingning didn't recognize Mu Qingyan at first, until the other's lips moved and his eyes were filled with complex pain, then she remembered Mu Qingyan from back then.

She collapsed to the ground instantly.

How dare Yao Feiran confuse the royal bloodline?

After understanding the whole story, she was terrified and wondered if Yao Feiran would kill her to cover it up.

"Alright, I suppose you've recognized each other by now. So much time has passed, all the grudges should have been forgotten. As for whether you're afraid of being exposed, look at him, how does he resemble Mu Qingyan at all?"

I have to say, she's definitely the female lead; I can still recognize her even in this awful state.

Song Jingning then took a closer look at Mu Qingyan. He looked too old, the kind of haggard and aged look. He was skin and bones, and it was hard to tell that he was the same person who used to be so spirited.

"He didn't want to be the crown prince back then because of you, so I had no choice but to grant his wish. He has worked so hard for so many years, so this can be considered as atonement."

Mu Qingyan: "........."
