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

The Second Prince stared at Yan Yueyi's departing figure, his eyes filled with malice.

"You ungrateful wretch!"

Yan Yueyi told Yao Feiran about this: "The Second Prince was too outrageous today. He actually asked me to ask His Majesty to cancel the engagement and marry him."

"He must know something; marrying you would bring him immense benefits."

How did he know?

"It must have been the Emperor who leaked it. He probably wanted to see how the other princes would react, and also to give the Fourth Prince some training. Have you seen the Fourth Prince these past few days?"

The emperor was not one to be easily swayed. He was constantly controlled by Yao Feiran, and naturally he was unwilling to accept this. Otherwise, he would not have harmed his own body to resist Song Yuheng back then.

Yan Yueyi smiled faintly and said, "Yes, I have. After the engagement was made, the Fourth Prince would often send me gifts."

"Maybe he's just a repressed pervert."

What is "secretly passionate"?

"It's nothing. Relationships require effort. Just get along well with him. Don't go on long trips in the future. Even if you do go out, take several people with you and travel in groups. Don't go to places with few people. Men will do anything for power, so you have to be very careful."

Yan Yue replied solemnly, "Yes, I will heed Mother's teachings."

Afterwards, the other princes began to target the fourth prince. However, with the help of Liu Songyan, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and the fact that the fourth prince was not stupid, he would not fall for their traps, making them look like clowns. The emperor became more and more satisfied with the fourth prince.

Yan Yueyi no longer acts alone or goes to secluded places to avoid encountering strange things.

When Yao Feiran uses the identity of Liu Songyan, she will return to the Liu family mansion. Now, Mei Shuang and her daughter have been brought to the capital. Mei Shuang has the title of Lady of the Imperial Decree, and Daya, also known as Liu Shu, is now seventeen years old.

Mei Shuang never dreamed that she, originally a village woman, would become the wife of a powerful minister. Many people in the capital were trying to curry favor with her because of her husband, and the threshold of her door was almost worn down with suitors.

Upon seeing Yao Feiran, Mei Shuang quickly said, "Husband, quite a few matchmakers have come these past few days. Could you help me check on these families?"

Because she was afraid of being overheard, Yao Feiran always had Mei Shuang call her husband directly. Yao Feiran looked at Liu Shu. Liu Shu had been well-bred over the years and was no different from a noble lady in the capital. She learned a lot every day. Yao Feiran focused on cultivating her reading skills, as reading could improve her cognition. Because Liu Shu had experienced some things when she was young, she was quite mature and had always had good self-control.

"Since you only have one daughter, Liu Shu, haven't you considered finding someone to marry into your family?"

"To...marry into the family?"

"Yes, with me protecting you, you're not afraid of others causing trouble, and Liu Shu won't have to marry into another family."

Unlike Yao Feiran's daughter, Liu Shu doesn't have the Love Poison curse. Once she gets married, she won't be able to control what happens to her.

Mei Shuang hadn't thought of this method. She only had one daughter, and she was reluctant to let her daughter get married. But after Yao Feiran's suggestion, she suddenly understood.

"But what good man would be willing to marry into another family?"

Men who marry into the family have virtually no hope for a career in government. Now that Yao Feiran is in power, she doesn't have this problem, but she won't promote any sons-in-law. If she's going to train anyone, it'll be Liu Shu's child. Anyway, she can live as long as she wants.

"Don't underestimate yourself. Even if it's a marriage into the family, many people would still want to join."

"Okay, I'll trouble you to take a look then."

"Of course, I watched her grow up too."

As a result, before Liu Songyan could even announce that he was looking for a son-in-law, the Second Prince came knocking on his door.

"Lord Liu."

"I wonder what brings Your Highness here?"

The second prince's face stiffened slightly. To be honest, he had always felt that Liu Songyan had too much power and didn't know why his father would promote such a person. Moreover, Liu Songyan had a very stubborn temper, and every time he tried to befriend him, he was avoided. But then he started to side with his fourth brother, who was a man of few words and basically kept to himself. Why did everyone want to get close to him?

Last time, he overheard his father saying that whoever married Yan Yueyi would be considered for the position of crown prince, which shocked him.

He was starting to regret his decision, wondering what ability Yan Yueyi had to influence the position of crown prince. He wished he had married her sooner, even if she was older; he could have made plans after he ascended the throne.

Since Yan Yueyi is ungrateful, he can only try other paths, namely Liu Songyan, who now holds immense power in the court.

"I have come today to request to marry Lord Liu's daughter as my principal wife."

Yao Feiran's face twitched. This second prince was jumping around in the court, and now he was openly marrying the only daughter of a powerful minister. His IQ was truly astounding.

"I only have this one daughter, and I will only find a husband to live with me in the future."

The second prince's face stiffened, a lump forming in his throat: "How many good sons-in-law are willing to be live-in sons-in-law? If I become a princess, I'll enjoy all the riches and honors. And if Lord Liu is willing to help me later—"

"Your Highness, please be careful with your words. My daughter will not marry."

"Lord Liu, you'd better watch yourself, or it will be too late to regret it later."

Finally, the Second Prince stormed off, and Yao Feiran sneered, "Fool!"

Not long after, the palace held a banquet for the Flower Festival, and Liu Shu and the two daughters of the Yan family were invited, as was Yao Feiran.

The harem had been disbanded, leaving only four princes. Many women were interested in marrying these princes. However, the palace banquets were strictly hierarchical, with seating arranged according to rank and status, making it impossible to wander around. Yao Feiran felt somewhat relieved.

After enjoying the flowers at night, everyone left in order. Yao Feiran stared intently at Liu Shu, who was not far away. The aura above her head had changed. At this moment, a eunuch next to her shouted for some reason and crashed into Liu Shu. Below was a pond, and Liu Shu lost her balance and fell in.

Mei Shuang cried out, "Ah—my daughter has fallen!"

Before anyone could react, Yao Feiran rushed over and nimbly jumped in, lifted Liu Shu up, and then put her coat on her. Turning her head, she saw the Second Prince standing opposite her.

"What is Your Highness waiting for, standing there like that?"

All eyes were on the Second Prince. It was nighttime, and visibility was a bit blurry. If Yao Feiran hadn't said that, no one else would have been able to see him.

Combined with the coincidence of Liu Shu falling into the river, who wouldn't guess it?

The second prince's face turned ashen, and he could only say stiffly, "I just happened to be passing by here."

"That's quite a coincidence."

Yao Feiran released Da Bing, and Liu Shu whispered, "Thank you, Father—Aunt Yao, a eunuch pushed me just now."

She knew the other person was playing the role of her father.

"I'm glad you're alright."

Yao Feiran glanced over; the eunuch had already disappeared in the chaos.

That night, the second prince's arm suddenly went numb, and by the time the imperial physician arrived, his hand was already ruined.

The emperor summoned Yao Feiran: "You did it to the Second Prince."

"He's been causing too much trouble. We want him to behave himself so he doesn't go astray."
