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

The Taoist temple was quite desolate, with only one or two Taoist priests inside, a man and a woman. The male priest was over fifty years old and was the abbot, whose secular name was Liu Yunci and Taoist name was Qingxu. The female priest was named Ye Miaochen, over forty years old, and her Taoist name was Suxin.

Liu Yunci sighed, "I see you come from the capital, how come you've come to such a far place? The incense there is very strong, and the environment must be excellent."

"I think this place is quite nice. Yunhe Temple used to be a place of great religious activity and has a profound cultural heritage."

Liu Yunci's smile deepened.

This Taoist temple has few people, so all the rituals are simplified and there are no strict requirements. Ye Miaochen accepted Yao Feiran as his disciple, and her Taoist name was Piaomiao.

After settling in, Yao Feiran sent a letter to the Yao family.

A month later, Yunhe Temple received visitors.

"Madam, the First Madam has arrived."

It was the original owner's mother. Yao Feiran thought about the original owner's personality and her expression changed slightly. When Yao's mother came in and saw the dilapidated courtyard, she felt a great pain in her heart.

"Feiran, why did you come to this Taoist temple? It's so dilapidated and unsafe here."

"Mother, it's quiet here, close to our old home, and Master is very kind, so don't worry."

"The Mao family has gone too far; my daughter, you have suffered so much."

"It's not that hard, and I'm finally able to relax. It's just a shame that they withheld the dowry my mother prepared for me."

Yao's mother gritted her teeth: "These bandits framed my daughter, deliberately divorced her, and then conveniently refused to return her dowry."

"Mother, don't worry. I'm not suffering here. Before, my husband's family in the Mao family was harsh. I had to be subservient every day and worry about the livelihood of the household. Everyone in the household was indifferent to me because of that maid. Those days were harder and harder."

If Yao Feiran had said this before, her mother would have told her to relax. But now she felt that she hadn't been on guard against that maid earlier.

Moreover, since the maid couldn't win over her husband, the Mao family actually blamed her daughter and ruined her reputation—it's outrageous!

After chatting for a while, Yao Feiran asked, "Has my younger sister's marriage been affected?"

The original owner's younger sister, Yao Ruoshen, was the youngest daughter of her mother in her old age. She is now sixteen years old and of marriageable age. Moreover, Yao Ruoshen is beautiful, and everyone who has seen her says that she is the most beautiful woman they have ever seen.

Yao Feiran suspected that Yao Ruoshen had the destiny of the female lead, after all, she heard from her mother that Yao Ruoshen was calm and composed since childhood, loved reading, and was intelligent.

In the end, she burned herself out, thus making the male protagonist who he is.

Yao's mother looked uneasy: "It has no impact, I'm already looking at it."

Yao Feiran sensed something was wrong: "Mother, are you hiding something from me? Is my younger sister's marriage related to the Wang family?"

Yao's mother's hand trembled: "How did you know?"

"Don't we have a blood feud with the Wang family? Why are we forcing our little sister to marry into their family?"

"Sigh, when we arranged for you to marry into the Mao family, we thought it would be a marriage alliance between the two families. We never expected them to be so absurd. Now that chaos has broken out in various places, your father had no choice but to marry Huai Shen into the family. Perhaps one day, the conflict will be resolved peacefully."

Yao Feiran sneered inwardly. Men always thought that the honey trap would work, but in reality, it only prolonged the Yao family's fortune for decades, and it was also a waste to send away a talented person. Her younger sister was clearly no less capable than men, but she was to become the male protagonist's stepping stone.

The Wang family was willing to marry the younger sister in order to annex the Yao family. Since the Yao family had no daughters, they had to settle for second best.

However, the current situation seemed like a dead end, and there was nothing she could say.

Yao's mother gave some incense money and stuffed a large handful of silver notes into Yao Feiran's hand. She also went to visit her maternal grandfather and told him that Yao Feiran was here and to take good care of her.

Yao Feiran settled down in the Taoist temple. After finishing her daily homework, she would start reading. Although the temple was dilapidated, it had a large collection of books, including history, medicine, and even military strategy. Yao Feiran finished reading the temple's collection in a few months and gained a fairly good understanding of the current situation.

The current emperor is a puppet with no real power. Before long, various regions will raise their own armies and become independent.

Yunhe Temple was located on a mountainside. There were few worshippers and few people coming here. Yao Feiran liked the comfortable environment, so she asked people to renovate the temple inside and out. A few days later, she sensed that danger was coming.

It seems he flaunted his wealth and has been targeted.

Yao Feiran had set some traps outside, and Ye Miaochen asked curiously, "Disciple, what are you doing?"

"I have a feeling that someone is targeting the Taoist temple."

Ye Miaochen gasped, "No way, this is the middle of nowhere."

Liu Yunci walked over: "They must be bandits from the nearby mountains. My junior brother Piaomiao has been hiring people to build a Taoist temple recently, and they have been noticed by someone with ulterior motives."

Yao Feiran continued to set up the trap, and the two of them helped. They also invited villagers from the surrounding area. In this day and age, as long as you have a full meal, everyone will risk their lives. Hearing that there was money to be made, all the able-bodied men in the village came.

Yao Feiran arranged for several people to ambush at fixed locations, gave them a brief training session, and distributed weapons.

Liu Yunci had never seen his own Taoist temple so lively.

As night fell, a gong sounded, waking many people. Xiaoxia hid in the back, while Yao Feiran went out with a knife. Because everyone was prepared, all that could be heard was screams.

Yao Feiran also killed two people, and soon more than ten corpses were laid out in front of her.

Liu Yunci felt a chill run down his spine: "There were actually more than a dozen thieves."

"Master, I asked around. They saw that the Taoist temple was well-built and wanted to take it over directly, which is why so many people came. There are hardly any people left at their hideout."

Yao Feiran said, "Thank you everyone."

"It's alright, Master, you're very magnanimous."

After the incident was reported to the authorities, the bodies were disposed of, and then someone from the Taoist temple delivered a letter.

Xiaoxia said, "It seems to belong to Master Lin."

He was the original owner's maternal grandfather. The Lin family controlled the entire region, and no news could escape his notice.

He mentioned that his grandmother missed her granddaughter and hoped she would come back to visit.

Yao Feiran went to the Lin family, and a servant of the Lin family brought her in.

Here, at the Mao family's residence in the capital.

Madam Mao, her expression indifferent, said while fiddling with her prayer beads: "Son, it seems that woman didn't go to Yueguang Temple, but went to Yuzhou instead."

Mao Xujing gritted his teeth: "She got off too easily. She ran away so fast. If she were at Yueguang Temple, we would have had to find someone to deal with her sooner or later. If it weren't for her, Shan Yue wouldn't have jumped off the cliff to her death."

"You don't need to be so obvious. A woman who has been divorced has nowhere to stand."
