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

When Azhu learned that she was to be sold to a brothel, she immediately shouted, "Madam, you have no right to sell me! I belong to the old lady!"

Yao Feiran picked up the indenture and said, "My mother-in-law has already given me the indenture; I can do whatever I want with it."

Azhu's face turned ashen. This lady used to be willful and stupid, and the young master didn't like her either. Ever since the old lady transferred her to the lady's courtyard, she has become arrogant. This time, the old lady wanted the lady to die of illness sooner, and it was she who suggested filling her with sexual poison.

She never expected to end up like this. She was doing things for the old lady, and the old lady was the culprit. She was about to say something, but then she remembered her family and fell silent.

Yao Feiran watched coldly. If Azhu was forced into this situation, Yao Feiran would at most just let her work as a maid in another place. However, Azhu was originally someone from Zhou's mother's side. She was sent here to monitor the original owner. During this time, she relied on being the old lady's person and was very disrespectful to the original owner. She even often stole the original owner's jewelry. The original owner's death was inextricably linked to her.

As Ah Zhu was dragged away, no one in the courtyard dared to utter a sound.

Since falling ill, the lady has become ruthless.

Yao Feiran originally wanted Zhou Ruorong to stay in the inner room to avoid offending her eyes, but unexpectedly, Zhou Ruorong's eyes were full of determination: "Mother, she hurt you, and I want to watch her be taken away."

Yao Feiran raised an eyebrow. This eldest daughter was no ordinary person; the original owner had neglected her too much before.

"Rong'er, what do you usually do?"

"I didn't do anything. My grandmother said I was lazy and would send me to the Buddhist hall to recite scriptures."

Yao Feiran frowned. What was this child doing, locked up in the Buddhist hall chanting scriptures? No wonder she usually kept her head down and didn't speak.

Where is your sister?

"My little sister was taken out to play by Aunt Luo Xian."

Luo Xian? Isn't that Zhou Qi's distant cousin? The reason the original owner was angry was because she saw Zhou Qi and her snuggling together.

As it turns out, the original owner's youngest daughter had a good relationship with this Luo Xian?

"From now on, you will live with your mother and will not need to go to your grandmother's anymore. I will speak to your grandmother myself tomorrow."

Zhou Ruorong's eyes lit up, and she clung tightly to Yao Feiran's arm, refusing to let go.

The original owner came from a good family, but she didn't know how to use it. She only wanted to make Zhou Qi fall in love with her, and she was easily moved by a little coaxing. In fact, the Wen family was the original owner's biggest backer. Zhou Qi didn't dare to offend her openly, so he could only use these underhanded methods. Even after the original owner died, she was still used and had the Wen family give her a push.

Most importantly, Zhou Qi is an ingrate. If it weren't for the original owner's half-sister, Zhou Qi would probably have taken advantage of the opportunity to help the emperor rise to power and would have targeted the Wen family first.

Yao Feiran bought a few maids and a few servants who knew martial arts, and sent the other traitors back to Zhou's mother's place. She wasn't afraid that the other party would say she was unfilial. At worst, she would be divorced and sent back, as long as they could bear the Wen family's anger.

As expected, Zhou's mother remained silent. Yao Feiran cleaned up the next room and put Zhou Ruorong's things in. As for her youngest daughter, Zhou Fengxi, she didn't seem very close to her mother. They would ask her later if she would like to move in.

Afterwards, Yao Feiran took stock of the original owner's dowry. The original owner believed that Zhou Qi would rise to prominence, and for the sake of the Zhou family, a considerable amount of the dowry had been spent. However, since Yao Feiran had come, naturally not a single penny would be spent on Zhou Qi.

That evening, Zhou Qi stormed over and confronted Yao Feiran, demanding, "What have you done? Mother is so upset she's fallen ill!"

"Mother fell ill from anger because her subordinates were corrupt and plotted to harm their master. If it weren't for you, I would have sent them to the authorities long ago. There might be other accusations against this person behind the scenes. Husband, don't forget to investigate thoroughly."

Zhou Qi's eyes flickered. He stared intently at Yao Feiran's cold eyes, his heart sinking slightly. His expression instantly changed: "Feiran, I acted impulsively just now. Don't be angry. I will investigate thoroughly."

He suddenly remembered something and explained, "Cousin Luo is a relative of my mother's side. She is just an orphan with no parents. If she is kicked out of the manor, she will have nowhere to go. That day, my cousin and I had no relationship."

Yao Feiran said with a half-smile, "I'm not angry. If you want to take her as a concubine, I don't mind."

Zhou Qi thought Yao Feiran was still talking in anger, and frowned: "Don't be unreasonable. My cousin doesn't want to be a concubine either."

If she didn't want to be a concubine, then she wanted to be the principal wife. In the original story, after Yao Feiran died, Luo Xian directly became the principal wife. When she was driven out of the capital, it was revealed that she had a son who was over ten years old.

"I'm serious. If you're interested in Miss Naluo, I'll naturally make arrangements for you." Yao Feiran wasn't interested in his hypocritical expression either. "I'm still recovering from a serious illness and can't serve you. You can sleep in another courtyard."

Zhou Qi also realized that Yao Feiran had never uttered the word "husband" from beginning to end.

His face was gloomy as he thought about what had happened that morning. He wondered how she knew the medicine was poisonous and how she had changed everyone around her.

He gave Yao Feiran a deep look: "Rong'er is staying with you?"

"Yes, after I got pregnant, my mother-in-law took Rong'er away from me. Several years have passed in the blink of an eye. When I was Rong'er's age, I had already started to hire a female tutor to read and write, learn how to manage the household, and learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting. But my mother-in-law seems to have forgotten about this. She actually makes her recite Buddhist scriptures every day. Could it be that she wants to send my daughter to become a nun?"

Zhou Qi was speechless. Seeing her unhappy expression, he could only vaguely say, "My mother comes from the countryside and doesn't know how to raise her granddaughter. She did something that caused misunderstanding."

"Alright, Rong'er will live here with me from now on."

The original owner's eldest daughter was taken away against her will, while the younger daughter, who was a few years older, took the initiative to ask for her own courtyard. Although the original owner was reluctant, she agreed. However, Yao Feiran felt that something was wrong, as the courtyard was quite close to Luo Xian's courtyard.

Zhou Qi watched as Zhou Ruorong sat at her desk, with several gold hairpins in her hair. Zhou Ruorong didn't usually wear jewelry, so Zhou Qi quickly realized that Yao Feiran must have given them to her.

"If Madam wants to make amends to Rong'er, she shouldn't forget Xi'er either."

Yao Feiran became increasingly puzzled. Both children were born from the original owner's womb, so why did everyone in the manor favor the youngest daughter?

"My husband and mother-in-law seem to prefer Xi'er. I heard today that Miss Luo even took Xi'er out for a trip."

Zhou Qi's expression froze for a moment: "Xi'er is lively and cheerful, and enjoys spending time with people."

"Is that so?" Yao Feiran scrutinized Zhou Qi for a moment, then looked away. "I'm tired. You can leave now."

After driving Zhou Qi away, Yao Feiran's expression didn't improve; she felt there was something bigger going on.
