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

Where is your uncle?

"My uncle went to the battlefield and returned safely."

Yao Qingshao breathed a sigh of relief: "Where's your father?"

"My father abandoned us and left a long time ago."

"I knew he was a heartless man. He never does any housework at home; my sister supports him. All he has is a handsome face. My sister is just as good-looking. Even a scholar wanted to marry her, and yet he treats her like this. He deserves to die!"

It took Yao Qingshao a while to recover. Her eyes were red and swollen. "How did you get in?"

"I knocked out all the guards."

Yao Qingshao said helplessly, "How could a little kid like you knock out so many people? Don't lie to your aunt."

"I'm not lying to you, Auntie, I'll take you away."

Yao Qingshao was completely confused until a floating sword appeared in Yao Feiran's hand. She stared wide-eyed, thinking she was hallucinating.

Before she could react, everything blurred, and Yao Feiran placed her in a safe place.

"Auntie, please stay here for now. I'll come to pick you up in a few days."

"What are you going to do?"

"The world is in chaos now, and the people are suffering. Most civilians are dying of hunger on the battlefield, while the powerful and wealthy live in luxury and even need you to arrange marriages for them." Yao Feiran smiled and said, "They are not suited to be in power."

Yao Feiran disappeared into the air.

Chaos reigned at the Duke's mansion. Yao Qingshao's disappearance was a major incident, concerning the marriage alliance. Yao Yunlian also learned that Xiao Changheng had gone to see Yao Qingshao alone.

"Changheng, didn't you take Qingshao with you?"

"Mother, how could I do such a foolish thing? Didn't those servants see the thief?"

Yao Yunlian said anxiously, "These useless things don't even know who knocked them out. They've already been sent to prison for interrogation."

Xiao Zheng was also furious and ordered the news to be kept secret. At this moment, Eunuch Deng arrived: "Lord Duke, His Majesty requests your presence."

"Eunuch Deng, could you tell me what it is?"

Xiao Zheng stuffed a silver ingot into his hand.

This time, Eunuch Deng refused to accept it. He shook his head and said, "I don't know. This servant still needs to inform the others. I'll take my leave now."

Then, Eunuch Deng hurriedly left. Yao Yunlian asked in a panic, "Why did Eunuch Deng come? Has His Majesty found out about Qing Shao's disappearance?"

"No, it seems His Majesty has something else to attend to, and Eunuch Deng has already gone to inform the others."

"That's good."

Xiao Zheng hesitated, realizing that he had just seen Eunuch Deng's eyes darting around, his forehead covered in sweat, and his hands trembling. Something big might have happened in the palace.

Xuanzheng Hall

Yao Feiran sat on the dragon throne, with several corpses lying below him, including the emperor, the crown prince, the third prince, and some guards.

Yao Feiran told the emperor that since he couldn't govern the country well anyway, she should become the emperor. The emperor was furious and ordered his men to kill her. Then the crown prince and the third prince came over and pointed at her, saying that she was some kind of monster.

She went all the way and killed them all.

Once everyone had arrived, Yao Feiran said, "From now on, I will be the acting emperor of the Yu Kingdom. As for the emperor, I haven't chosen one yet. Anyone who has any objections can step forward."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a minister pointed at Yao Feiran's nose and began to berate her.

"You treacherous man, surrender now, or the Imperial Guards will come and tear you apart."

With a wave of her hand, Yao Feiran burned the minister to ashes.

Everyone was utterly shocked; some even collapsed to the ground, muttering, "A monster..."

With that one move, no one dared to step forward again.

Soon the city's guards arrived, and thousands of them blocked the palace. Yao Feiran waved her hand, and countless black mists fell below, burning the generals who rushed to the front to ashes.

Yao Feiran ate a few spirit stones to restore her spiritual power, and in less than half a day, all the surviving high-ranking officials had already bowed down and submitted to her.

Xiao Zheng returned to the mansion, his face ashen.

Yao Yunlian asked nervously, "What happened? Everyone's saying there's a monster in the palace."

"A little girl can kill people with a wave of her hand, she is impervious to swords and blades, and she can even fly on a flying sword. The emperor and all the adult princes are already dead."

Yao Yunlian's face was filled with horror: "What! There are such people in this world?"

Xiao Zheng was in no mood to say anything. He had already made an appointment with his colleagues, changed his clothes, and left the mansion.

He had a premonition that the kingdom was about to undergo a major upheaval.

Perhaps, the same is true for the Kingdom of Muyuan.

Yao Feiran is now meeting with officials in the capital one by one. With each new emperor comes a new court. She can spot anyone who has disloyal intentions towards her at a glance. She has eliminated a few disobedient ones and found replacements, and the capital has barely stabilized.

She issued several directives, including reducing taxes and levies, abolishing exorbitant taxes and levies, and prohibiting the annexation of land.

As for officials complaining about being poor, she would interrogate them thoroughly and target whichever official had embezzled the most. After confiscating the homes of two corrupt officials, the national treasury was immediately replenished.

I'll save the rest for later.

These officials were rotten to the core in the hearts of the people, but no one dared to say it. Now that Yao Feiran had confiscated their property and exiled them, the people were overjoyed. Having heard of Yao Feiran's miracles, they even called her a fairy.

You say Yao Feiran is a wicked and treacherous villain, a demon who bewitches the masses?

What's it to me?

Over the years, these ordinary people have lived worse than pigs and dogs. They enjoy watching the life and death struggles between the powerful and wealthy. As long as someone can make their lives better, they would accept it even if the emperor is a dog.

Yao Feiran brought Yao Qingshao over.

She had also heard about what happened at the palace, and she finally understood what Yao Feiran meant when she left.

"Auntie, have you ever been to school?"

"I've read it."

She had been neglected while living at her aunt's house for the past few years, but fortunately there was a clan school nearby, so although she was talked about, she still gritted her teeth and went there.

"If you were to manage the world, could you?"

Yao Qingshao thought for a moment: "I have never been exposed to these things before, but I can learn them."

Yao Feiran smiled slightly: "Alright, it's time to settle accounts with the Duke of Wei's mansion as well."

"Xiao Ran, don't go against your aunt and uncle. They raised me for several years. If I were in Crescent Moon Village, I might have died like my sister."

"Although they have been kind to me, they are also heartless and ungrateful. I will repay them double the cost of raising you over the years, and from now on, we will sever all ties."

As for those titles and official positions, they will be taken away sooner or later.

Yao Yunlian adopted Yao Qingshao out of kindness; as long as she was given food and a proper marriage when she grew up, she would accept this distant relative.

The final result was that she was sent to be married off as a political alliance.

Since adoption is done with a purpose, it is not a favor, but an unequal transaction.

Not to mention that Yao Qingshao was almost forced to become a concubine.

She wouldn't have kept these ministers of a fallen kingdom anyway, but it wasn't convenient to remove them all at once, as she hadn't yet built up her own faction.
