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

Zhou Fengxi, feeling humiliated by Yao Feiran's provocation, finally said coldly, "If I don't like you, I don't like you. I will never acknowledge you as my mother again."

Such threats had no effect on Yao Feiran. Luo Xian quickly said, "Children are prone to impulsive words. Madam, please don't take it to heart. Besides, Xi'er is, after all, Madam's own daughter. Why be so heartless?"

"Can you shut up and stop babbling on about things I don't want to hear?"

Luo Xian was taken aback, barely suppressing her anger: "I just felt sorry for Xi'er. Madam, you're blatantly showing favoritism in this mansion. Aren't you afraid of what others will say?"

Yao Feiran said leisurely, "In the past, no one would gossip when I favored Xi'er, but now everyone is questioning me."

Zhou Fengxi had been in poor health since childhood, supposedly due to a deficiency in her mother's constitution. The original owner of this body took meticulous care of her, spending a considerable amount of money, and consequently neglected her eldest daughter. Although the eldest daughter was said to be cared for by her mother, she was actually left unsupervised. After Zhou Fengxi recovered, she insisted on having her own courtyard and gradually became less close to her mother. However, the original owner of this body continued to pay attention to her as always, mainly because she was worried that Zhou Fengxi's health would relapse.

Before Luo Xian could say anything more, Yao Feiran interrupted her, "Alright, that's enough. I don't want to hear these annoying words, and I don't want to see you."

She turned to the servants and said, "If these two come here again, kick them out immediately."

Looking at Yao Feiran's indifferent face, Luo Xian bit her lower lip in embarrassment. Zhou Fengxi was also crying and making a scene, wanting to leave. Luo Xian had already thought about how to persuade her, but the other party was unwilling to talk to her at all. Looking at Zhou Fengxi with tears streaming down her face, she finally left with her.

Watching the two leave, Yao Feiran rubbed her temples. She really didn't like talking to these people; their greed was obvious, yet they still tried to come up with some high-sounding reasons.

Afterwards, Zhou Qi seemed to want to ease the tension between the couple. Yao Feiran had very high standards for men, and she found it disgusting to even touch someone like him who was both upright and chaste. Zhou Qi tried to consummate the marriage several times, but Yao Feiran kicked him out each time.

After several setbacks, Zhou Qi's face grew increasingly dark. One night, he suddenly said, "I know you don't like my cousin. I sent her back to her hometown so she won't bother you anymore. But Xi'er is all alone now, and her mother is old. You are her mother, so you should at least care for her more."

Yao Feiran's mind raced, and after carefully considering the plot, she realized that Luo Xian was already pregnant with her second child at this point.

Looking at Zhou Qi's shameless appearance, she almost laughed out of anger. In the original story, Luo Xian returned a year after leaving, but the original owner was too ill to care about such things.

"I hope what you're saying is true." Yao Feiran said expressionlessly, "I hope I don't have to say this about Xi'er again. I won't get involved with her anymore."

Zhou Qi frowned, his eyes filled with disgust. After taking a few deep breaths, he said softly, "My mother's birthday is in a few days. I know you no longer care about the affairs of the household. My mother has been unwell recently. It is your responsibility as a daughter-in-law to go to Guiyin Temple to pray for her."

"Guiyin Temple? Why go there? The temple my mother-in-law frequents isn't Guiyin Temple, is it?"

"A highly virtuous monk has come to Guiyin Temple. When he arrives, please send him more incense money so that he can chant sutras for your mother."

Yao Feiran didn't believe in these things and asked the Fate-Reversing Pearl. The Fate-Reversing Pearl said, "If you go down this road, it will be extremely unlucky."

She guessed that Zhou Qi couldn't kill her at home, so he wanted to lure her outside to kill her.

Yao Feiran raised her eyes slightly: "I don't have any money, but I'll go if you give me some incense money."

Zhou Qi looked at her in disbelief: "What happened to you? You're so petty about money!"

"No means no. If you don't believe me, that's fine too."

"I'll give you the money; someone will deliver it tomorrow." Zhou Qi's face turned red with anger, and after saying that, he turned and left.

Yao Feiran watched his departing figure with a cold gaze. Guiyin Temple was a long way away and outside the city. If she were robbed and killed along the way, with Magistrate Zhou Qi to clean up the mess, she would die in vain.

She wondered how her older brother's investigation was going.

During the day, Yao Feiran went to Yu Xin's place again to explain her plans to go to Guiyin Temple.

Yu Xin said in surprise, "A highly accomplished monk has indeed come to Guiyin Temple. I heard that he has been traveling and will stay here for a short time. This matter has not been publicized yet. I suppose your husband told you about it."

"Yes, it's my mother-in-law's birthday soon, but I heard there's a group of ruthless thieves on the road they travel on. Do you know where I can find trustworthy bodyguards?"

Yu Xin's expression turned serious: "Since it's such a dangerous matter, there's no need to go there."

"It's alright, it's just hearsay. I was just thinking about whether I have any trustworthy guards, so spending a little money is fine." Yao Feiran looked troubled. "Besides, we can't make a big fuss about it. After all, my husband is the county magistrate, and it wouldn't be good for him if word got out."

Yu Xin thought for a moment, then took her hand: "Don't worry, I'll take care of this."

A few days later, Zhou Qi indeed watched her go to Guiyin Temple. Yao Feiran went out of the city as if nothing had happened. After passing through a section of road, Yao Feiran's carriage slowed down considerably.

A series of hurried footsteps came from the woods. An arrow pierced through Yao Feiran's sedan chair. When the people approached, they found that the open curtain was empty. The sedan chair bearers had long since fled to who-knows-where.

"Oh no, there's no one inside."

The perpetrator was taken aback and before he could react, he was surrounded from behind, with each person wielding a knife and slashing at the other with reckless abandon.

The leader of the group had a gloomy face and strongly suspected that Zhou Qi had deliberately set a trap to kill him. He had clearly said that killing a woman was simple, so why had he laid an ambush so early and why were there so many people?

The thief's eyes flashed with malice, and he thought to himself that if he escaped, he would definitely not let Zhou Qi go.

The two sides quickly got into a fight. Yao Feiran looked down and thought to herself that the people Yu Xin had found were really capable. No wonder the Reversal of Fate Beads could tell that the danger was over in an instant. Although the thief fought recklessly, their side was no less formidable.

Yao Feiran calmly drew her bow and arrow. With a whooshing sound, an arrow shot directly at the strongest bandit, piercing his neck. The man's eyes widened, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

Yao Feiran took one man with a single arrow, and before long, the bandits were demoralized and all of them died within minutes.

Yu Dali stared at the woman standing on the mountainside, her aim unerring, his eyes practically blinded by her brilliance.

Yu Dali's older brother, Yu Xin, runs a security escort agency in Yanzhou. He happened to be passing by when he met his sister and got this job. He thought the woman was overthinking things, since he had never heard of any bandits in the vicinity. But quite a few of them came, about several dozen, and they were fully equipped. If it weren't for the fact that Yao Feiran had paid a large sum of money and he had made ample preparations, he would have almost been defeated.
