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

"...I don't know why the Empress Dowager is suppressing the Yan family."

Yao Feiran hadn't gone into details yet, as there were still some things she needed to verify with Song Yuheng.

Soon, the court underwent a major change. The Song family was raided and exiled for crimes such as forming cliques, embezzling huge sums of money from the treasury, associating with bandits, and perverting justice and harming the people. As for the niece, she was also sent back to her hometown, which happened to be near Wanxi Jun, so she was back to where she started.

Many people in the court were demoted, while many others were promoted. An extra imperial examination was held, and the court was reshuffled. Even so, the court did not descend into chaos. The emperor originally thought Yao Feiran was messing around, but he quickly and completely eliminated Song Yuheng's power.

Liu Songyan was directly promoted to the cabinet despite his special status, and as for the male lead, Yao Feiran knew he was capable, so she arranged for him to become her deputy.

Yan Muyao became the Duke of Anguo in a daze, and Yan Yueyi and Yan Yushu were even more shocked when they arrived in the capital.

"Brother, didn't you go to the capital to take the imperial examination and become a Jinshi? How did you become a Duke?"

"I don't know either. I just received the message about the external call, saying I don't need to go."

At this moment, Eunuch De came over: "Lord Duke, this is a letter from your mother."

Yan Muyao quickly picked up the letter and glanced at it. Yan Yueyi asked curiously, "What did Mother say?"

"She said everything was the best arrangement, and told me to listen to Lord Liu and let you manage the Duke's Mansion."

"Lord Liu? Is that the Lord Liu who was parachuted into the cabinet as Grand Secretary?"

"yes."

There are rules for the promotion, demotion, and rank of officials, but the emperor is the ultimate rule, and even if many people are dissatisfied, they dare not say anything.

Since Yan Muyao became a Duke, the imperial palace has bestowed upon him a great deal of gold, silver, jewelry, shops, and estates. Combined with the money Yao Feiran earned, the Duke's mansion is now considered quite wealthy.

Yan Muyao also entered the Hanlin Academy.

This time, the Yan family was no longer a fallen marquis's mansion, but a powerful and influential duke's mansion.

At this moment, the guard Fang Shi came over: "Master, there is a beggar outside who wants to come in. He says he is your elder brother."

"My older brother?"

The brother and sister looked at each other. To be honest, they had almost forgotten about Yan Wenmo over the years because he was too outrageous, and their mother had long been disappointed in him.

"Let him in."

Yan Wenmo rushed in and saw the group of people dressed in fine clothes. Their skin was fair and delicate, and they looked like they had been pampered for many years. Meanwhile, he had become a beggar and was fighting with others for spoiled food.

He roared in fury, "Why did you receive the title? I am the eldest son of the Yan family, and this title should be mine!"

Yan Muyao's face turned cold: "If you feel it's unfair, then go tell His Majesty. We separated long ago. After I came of age, I established my own household. My things have nothing to do with you."

"I'm not reconciled! Why?! I am the eldest son of the Yan family! Why should the emperor reward you all?!"

Yan Yueyi said calmly, "You've squandered everything that belongs to the eldest son of the Yan family. Everything in the Duke's mansion now was earned by your mother. You disobeyed your mother back then, so you deserve the consequences. Throw him out!"

Yan Wenmo's eyes were bloodshot. If he were the Duke, no one would dare to laugh at him anymore. And Ye Ying, that wretched woman, who dared to give him attitude despite relying on a man. He was unwilling to live like this while she was getting better and better.

Yan Muyao tossed over a silver ingot, watched as the guards dragged Yan Wenmo away, and sighed.

When he was a child, his mother always said that his eldest brother was the one who supported the entire Yan family, and that everything in the house belonged to his eldest brother. He always admired his eldest brother, until he grew up and realized how absurd his eldest brother was.

He was much better than his older brother, but he also had a bit of a dark side. Fortunately, his older brother was no good, so his mother turned her attention to him.

.....

Ye Ying also learned that the Yan family had suddenly become favored. The emperor not only elevated the Yan family to the rank of Duke, but also said that they had acquired a lot more wealth. She felt vaguely uncomfortable. In her previous life, the Yan family had not treated her well. She had spent money without receiving a single kind word from Yao Feiran, and after giving away her dowry, they had turned on her and discarded her.

However, she didn't dwell on it for long. Her children were healthy, her husband loved her, and she held a high position; she was already considered to be living a happy and fulfilling life.

Cining Palace

Although Song Yuheng was dressed neatly, she already looked dejected. She heard footsteps and suddenly opened her eyes. It was a woman.

"Who are you?"

"You've suppressed the Yan family for so many years, don't you even know who I am? I am Yao Feiran."

Song Yuheng is old, but he does have a mole at the corner of his eye.

"It's you." Song Yuheng said without changing her expression, "You shouldn't have married into the Yan family. I had no intention of involving you."

"Is that so? What did the Yan family do wrong? Was their mistake in saving you, Xiao Cui?"

Song Yuheng suddenly looked up, a hint of panic in her eyes. Now that she held a high position, what she feared most was the exposure of her past shameful side.

"As expected, fate is unpredictable. The former foot-washing maid and concubine's daughter has become this incomparably noble Empress Dowager."

Song Yuheng's face twisted in anger as she roared, "Shut up! My mother is the legal wife, I'm not a concubine!"

"Your mother, a vicious woman, used a love potion to control men, killed his wife and two sons, and erased all traces of their existence. And you, ungrateful and heartless, your mother-in-law bought you from a villain, yet you want to wipe out the entire Yan family."

"Buying me is just a way to get me to serve others!"

"What? Someone saved your life, and that's not enough? You have to be treated like royalty. If your mother-in-law hadn't saved you in the first place, and had let you go to that filthy place, you would have been forever branded as a lowly person and a pillar of shame."

When Song Yuheng was rescued, she did not sign a contract of servitude, nor did she ask for money when she was taken away by her family. Even if the Yan family made her serve others, this should not be a reason for revenge.

Song Yuheng remained silent, and Yao Feiran had a better understanding of the situation. It seemed that what she said was true; this mother and daughter were truly ruthless.

"Did you kill the late emperor, as well as the empress, the imperial concubine, the eldest prince, and the second prince?"

Song Yuheng's voice trembled slightly: "What are you talking about?"

"Before the late emperor died, he often suffered from chest pain, just like when the Yan family was poisoned. The Heart-Eating Gu is in your hands, isn't it? The others also died from poisoning."

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, Song Yuheng opened a box, and a green worm flew towards Yao Feiran, who crushed it to death.

The culprit who caused the death of the Yan family has finally met his due end.

Song Yuheng was shocked: "How could you dodge?"

"Of course I can dodge it."

Yao Feiran slapped him several times: "Emperor, you should have heard that, right? She killed your father."

Under Song Yuheng's incredulous gaze, the emperor emerged from behind the screen.

"Mother, Father has been so good to you, are you still going to poison him?"

The emperor could not accept it. His father had doted on him since he was a child, and he had practically been raised by his father. Moreover, his father had given his mother unparalleled honor, yet she died such a tragic death later.

"What's so good about it? It's just the effect of the love potion. Your father only ever treated me as a plaything." The Empress Dowager revealed a mocking expression: "So he deserved to die."

Yao Feiran thought to herself, "Brilliant!"
