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

The matter was dropped, and Yao Feiran also learned who the new male lead was: Xiao Jinyan, the newly appointed top scholar and Xiao Zhaoyan's older brother.

Yao Feiran was speechless. Sure enough, it was another way to make way for the protagonist. She could almost predict the rest of the plot: Yao Ruoshen would give birth to a son and then die, followed by a series of events, and Xiao Jinyan would become the emperor.

Everything has returned to square one.

Everything they did became a wedding dress for others.

Xiao Jinyan hasn't done anything yet, and Yao Feiran hasn't taken her anger out on him. As is customary, she stayed in Hanlin Academy, but she overturned the original arrangements for the Xiao family and prepared to marginalize them.

In the study, Xiaoxia told Yao Feiran, "Your Majesty, Young Master Xiao has been trying to see you, but he has been blocked from entering the palace. We don't know what to do."

"Let him in."

When Xiao Zhaoyan saw Yao Feiran, his eyes were filled with resentment.

"Your Majesty, ever since I met Your Highness, she has been avoiding me. I admire her and am willing to be with her even without any official status. I only ask that Your Majesty grant my wish."

"I've already calculated it. If you stay with her, she'll definitely die in childbirth. So, do you still want to cling to her?"

"This...this is too absurd. It's fine if His Majesty doesn't think much of his students, but why use such words to fob me off?"

"Absurd? Haven't you heard how I murdered Liu Cangyuan back then? Whether you believe it or not is irrelevant, but do you dare gamble with the life or death of the Crown Princess?"

Yao Feiran's gaze was like a knife, causing Xiao Zhaoyan to take a few steps back: "Students don't have to have children."

"Contraceptive pills are harmful to the body. As a princess of noble birth, you will either have to take the pills from now on, or ruin your health—a permanent solution. Are you willing? I happen to have a bowl of infertility soup here. After drinking it, you will never have children again. Would you like some? Bring it here!"

Xiao Zhaoyan silently took a few steps back, his face full of resistance. Finally, seeing the medicine coming over, he scrambled away.

Yao Feiran sat in the chair, and Yao Ruoshen came out, covering her mouth and laughing: "I thought my sister would give some other reason. He definitely wouldn't believe it if you just said it was a fortune telling."

"It's better to believe it than not. If he knew what I was like back then, he would be more cautious. After all, even a one in three chance could put your life in danger."

"Sigh, looks like I'll be alone forever again."

Yao Feiran didn't seem too sad when she looked at her. It was probably because she had recently read the regulations written by Yao Feiran that gave her a new goal for the future.

"Is that infertility drug real?"

"It's fake, but it's possible to conceive if you want to, but it will damage your body and cause infertility. Otherwise, there are no other problems."

"Give me a few sets, maybe I'll need them someday. Even if Xiao Zhaoyan doesn't eat them, someone else will. I feel like people's thoughts change. My thoughts now are a bit different from when I was younger."

Yao Feiran: "......."

Yao Ruoshen was probably frightened by Yao Feiran's fortune-telling. Even though Yao Feiran said that having a child with someone else would not result in a difficult birth, she did not dare to try it. After Yao Feiran made that calculation, she checked and found that the mortality rate for women during childbirth was not low and there were various dangers. As someone in a high position, there was really no need for her to take the risk.

And there will be no need for any heirs in the future.

The safest beneficiaries are those elected by the people.

With a shared goal, the two began to undergo tremendous changes in Yan Kingdom.

A year later, Yao's father passed away, and Jiang Suqiu happened to be pregnant. Yao Feiran went to visit her and said that Jiang Suqiu would have a loving relationship with Yao Huaijin in the future, and that their child would be successful.

This was a bolt from the blue for Yao Xiuan, especially since Yao Huaijin had not yet appointed an heir, which made him panic and even consider drugging Jiang Suqiu.

Now, the Yao family is managed by Yao's mother and Jiang Suqiu. Jiang Suqiu knows she is pregnant and is even more cautious. She will not allow Yao Xiuan any opportunity to take advantage of her and will soon be discovered to have been drugged.

She told Yao's mother about it. Yao's mother closed her eyes, her expression unwavering: "It's our fault for not teaching him well. Granny Chen, have someone arrest him, give him twenty strokes of the cane, make him kneel in the ancestral hall, and confine him to the courtyard, forbidding him from leaving."

"Yes, madam."

Mother Yao murmured, "He wasn't like this when he was little. Although he was naughty, he could distinguish right from wrong. When my husband criticized me, he would stand up for me. Now, we are clearly trying to teach him with all our hearts, so how did he become like this?"

"Mother, don't be sad."

"I'm not sad. You two should live your lives well. It's Huaijin's blessing to have you. After I'm gone, you two should support each other and you'll definitely overcome all difficulties."

"My husband treats me very well, and that is my blessing."

A blush crept across Jiang Suqiu's face. Back in her parents' home, her parents favored her older sister. To prevent her sister's second marriage to her younger sister's fiancé from causing controversy, they poured countless dirty waters on her, causing her to waste her life until now. Now, her mother-in-law doesn't interfere much, and her husband respects her. Even because of her health, he doesn't pressure her to have children. Everything is left to nature, and she is much more at ease.

Yao Huaijin also knew what had happened during the day. Still shaken, he touched Jiang Suqiu's belly and said, "Luckily you were cautious. I have already given up on Huaijin's child. From now on, I will ask that any child you give birth to, whether it is a boy or a girl, be made the heir apparent."

After Yao's father passed away, Yao Huaijin was granted the title of Duke, and the title remained unchanged for three generations. Now there is a law that both men and women have the right to inherit, and women with the right to inherit are not allowed to marry outside the family.

Jiang Suqiu's face was flushed with excitement: "I thought my husband would make the eldest son the heir apparent, since he is both the legitimate son and the eldest son."

"When he chose his birth mother, he had already given up on the Yao family."

Under the protection of the Yao family, Jiang Suqiu gave birth to a son smoothly. As soon as the child was born, Yao Feiran did not even need the Yao family to ask for the establishment of an heir; he directly issued an imperial edict to make the child the heir.

Meng Lingyan was completely panicked. She had tried to win over Yao Xiuan so that one day she could be brought out with dignity and become the legitimate wife of the Yao family. How come she didn't even have Yao Xiuan's right to inherit the family property?

Moreover, Meng Lingyan has already endured a year of hardship since Yao Xiuan was subjected to economic sanctions by the Yao family, and now she is being told that all hope is lost.

She staggered, trying to get to the Yao family's house.

At this moment, Meng Lingyan found herself surrounded, with a eunuch holding a bright yellow imperial edict in front of her.

Who are you?

"The Meng family has committed treason. The mastermind has been beheaded, and their family members have been exiled to the desolate north. You, as a daughter of the Meng family, have lived a life of ignominy for so many years. It is time for you to go where you belong."

Meng Lingyan was pale, but she forced herself to stand up and said, "I am a married daughter. The Meng family's rebellion has nothing to do with me. I am the wife of the Duke of Feng."
