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

After giving Zhou Ruorong some instructions, he noticed the redness and swelling on her head, washed it with salt water, gave her her favorite snacks, and then let her fall asleep when she was sleepy.

As expected, Zhou Qi came over again, and said aggressively, "You disrespected my mother, is this your family upbringing?"

Yao Feiran rushed over and slapped Zhou Qi twice before he could even react.

"If your mother hadn't bothered me, I wouldn't have said anything. I could forgive her for taking Rong'er away and locking her in the Buddhist hall all day, but today it was clearly Xi'er who snatched Rong'er's things. Why should Rong'er be punished?"

Zhou Qi could no longer bear it. He had been humiliated and slapped by Yao Feiran several times. He had become an official and always maintained a sanctimonious appearance. Now, his eyes were bloodshot, and he clenched his fists and punched Yao Feiran.

Yao Feiran pinned him to the ground and slapped him ten times in a row, turning his once handsome face into a swollen pig's head.

Zhou Qi's servants tried to step forward to pull him away, but were blocked by Yao Feiran's men.

"Wen...Fei...Ran, I'm going to kill you!!"

Yao Feiran whispered, "What a coincidence, I also wanted to kill you."

Zhou Qi eventually slunk away. He was a grown man who had been beaten so badly that he was powerless to fight back. He looked fine on the surface, but his mind was on the verge of collapse.

The Fate-Defying Bead: "......."

After being choked, Zhou's mother cried and screamed, saying that her daughter-in-law was unfilial and wanted to kill her. Zhou Qi walked over and said impatiently, "Stop yelling. No one will believe this."

The marks from Yao Feiran's pinching had long since disappeared, and everyone around was their own servant. It wouldn't be honorable for such a thing to be made public; if the Wen family found out, they would definitely come to inquire.

Zhou's mother was so angry that her chest ached. Ever since Zhou Qi started doing well in her studies, no one dared to treat her like this anymore. Seeing that Zhou Qi was angry, she had no choice but to stop howling. When she looked up, she saw that Zhou Qi's face was swollen and red, with five faint finger marks visible on it.

"Son, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Qi didn't want to speak, but his mother immediately guessed what was going on. She was so angry she felt like her chest was about to explode: "That damned woman, she even dared to slap her husband! This kind of woman is simply too vicious. She must be divorced!"

"If we divorce her, how will we explain it to the Wen family?" Zhou Qi's face was gloomy. "What did she eat to become so strong?"

Zhou's mother said bitterly, "I don't know either. After A-Zhu brought that cup of poisoned wine and she found out, her personality changed a lot. She also became very strong, and four or five men were no match for her."

"We can't poison her anymore; she's already on her guard." Zhou Qi frowned. Yao Feiran had opened a small kitchen in the courtyard, and her own people were responsible for purchasing all her food, clothing, and other necessities. No one else could get involved.

"Then have a few people force-feed him the poisoned wine."

"The indentures of her servants are all in her hands. I heard that some of them are even skilled in martial arts. Besides, she herself is not easy to deal with. The people she summons might not even be able to get close to her. Moreover, if she suddenly dies, the Wen family will inevitably become suspicious. If the people who come over discover any clues, we will all be finished."

The previous slow-acting poison was also intended to be a weak dose. He thought that by carefully examining her pulse, he could only sense that she was weak. He thought that if he coaxed her a little more, the Wen family would worry about her and might transfer him back.

Mrs. Zhou said dejectedly, "What can we do then? We can't let her keep bullying us, can we?"

"My biggest worry right now is whether she has discovered Xi'er's true identity."

"How could that be? Xi'er looks like you. People from that time have already been dealt with. Your uncle is still in our hometown, so he couldn't possibly reveal anything. It must be that woman who couldn't stand Xi'er being close to Luo Xian. She's narrow-minded and doesn't even want her own daughter."

Zhou Qi thought it over carefully but couldn't find anything wrong with it, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I hope so."

Luo Xian and he were childhood sweethearts. He had always wanted to marry her, but his father said that pursuing an official career was not so simple, especially since he was born in the countryside. So his father took credit for saving his life and used this favor to secure the marriage.

After Wen Feiran married into the family, she became willful and domineering, selling off all the beautiful maids around Zhou Qi. She looked down on Zhou Qi every day, saying that if it weren't for Zhou Qi supporting her, they wouldn't even be able to afford a two-courtyard house in the capital. Zhou Qi disliked her, and by extension, he disliked her children as well.

It just so happened that Luo Xian and Zhou Fengxi gave birth at the same time. Zhou Fengxi was weak from birth, and the doctor said that she would need to take medicine every day. If they were to raise her, they would not have the financial means to support her. So Zhou Qi had no choice but to switch the two children. Anyway, he never thought that Wen Feiran's child would inherit the Zhou family.

"Mother, don't provoke her yet. Let me think of something."

Zhou's mother said with a bitter face, "I know, it's like a patriarch has come."

Some time later, Yao Feiran delivered the package to Mo Xingzhi's page through Yu Xin. Inside were some local specialties, with the letter placed inside. It was tied tightly with brocade and sealed with a seal so that if it had been opened, Wen Chenyi would be able to discover it quickly.

Several months passed slowly. Yao Feiran was now quite comfortable in the mansion. However, without Yao Feiran's support, the servants' treatment had decreased significantly, and banquets had become more stingy. Yao Feiran would buy things for Zhou Ruorong every now and then and take her to Yu Xin's house to play with other children her age. As a result, Zhou Ruorong's personality had become much more lively.

Luo Xian finally couldn't stand it anymore and took Zhou Fengxi to Yao Feiran: "Madam, Xi'er is still young and is also your daughter. I don't know what she did to offend you. After all, she is still young and needs her mother's guidance. If it is because she is close to me that Madam has a rift with her, it is actually a misunderstanding. I have only taken her out a few times. She is still thinking about Madam."

Zhou Fengxi looked aggrieved, but then he remembered his birth mother's instructions that she would give him the best resources and prepare a dowry. If he couldn't get his mother's forgiveness, he would be worse off than Zhou Ruorong in every way.

Now Zhou Ruorong has new clothes almost every few days. Yao Feiran spares no effort in cultivating her, hiring famous teachers. This older sister's reputation is getting better and better, while Luo Xian's family is too poor to afford it.

Yao Feiran gave the two of them a mocking look, thinking how shameless they were.

"No need, I don't like her. You've led this child astray. Don't come looking for me again. If you don't like her, just give her to your mother-in-law."

Luo Xian's face twitched. She hadn't expected the other party to be so rude. Back then, in order to win over her child, she had sown discord among them, thinking that Wen Feiran would never mistreat her daughter. But now she didn't even want her daughter anymore. If her cousin hadn't said that Wen Feiran hadn't discovered the truth about the child back then, she would have really thought that the other party already knew.

But if she knew, she would definitely make a huge scene and expose the matter. This calmness doesn't seem genuine.
