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

"The next world."

Yao Feiran opened her eyes, and the Fate-Reversing Pearl spoke: "In the last world, you predicted the future for many people, wasting a lot of energy. Some people have ordinary lives, and even if their fate is changed, they will not receive much energy back. Moreover, there are too many people whose fates have been changed. Once the fate lines of those people intersect, they may change each other's life trajectories."

"You're right."

She opened her eyes and found herself in a carriage, her whole body aching and swaying.

She was in the carriage.

Yao Feiran quickly absorbed the memories. The original owner was a peasant girl. Her family wasn't so poor that they couldn't afford to eat. They had a few acres of land, and compared to the tenant farmers, they were able to support themselves. However, for some reason, Yao's parents disliked their daughter. According to the memories, it must have been something her biological mother did. Yao's father's current wife was not her biological mother.

Later, the Yao family discussed it and decided to sell the original owner of the body. No matter how much the original owner begged and cried, it was no use. In the end, for a few taels of silver, the original owner was forced onto the slave trader's carriage. Because he struggled so much, he was beaten by the slave trader and left on the carriage. In the end, the original owner died. Yao Feiran came over, and the carriage stopped not long after.

A woman's voice rang out: "Find a group of children around eight years old. I'll take them to the Wei family to choose from. They need to buy a new batch of children now."

The slave trader Li An whispered, "Oh dear, is it about Madam Wei's miscarriage? I heard they sold off a lot of servants."

"You're even asking about the Wei family's affairs? Be careful."

"I know, Aunt Xiang. I just got a few girls here. See if there are any you like."

As he spoke, Li An walked to the carriage, lifted the curtain, opened the locked door, and shouted loudly, "Get down here right now! If you keep dawdling, don't blame me for being impolite."

A commotion erupted inside the carriage, and soon people got off. Yao Feiran followed the crowd out. Her eyes swept across the area; it was a courtyard filled with children dressed in tattered clothes, likely bought from elsewhere. Everyone's eyes were numb as they slowly moved away from the side.

Yao Feiran stood at the end, her expression indifferent, revealing no emotion. Aunt Xiang's gaze fell on her, and she smiled, "She's quite composed."

Aunt Xiang selected all the women who were of suitable age, including Yao Feiran, and they all went to the Wei family's house together.

After the steward and old women of the Wei family conducted a preliminary selection, they began to check whether these people had a clean background and whether they had any physical problems such as lameness, hunchback, or cross-eyedness. After the steward selected a group of maids for rough work, only the rest were qualified to be examined by the mistress.

After a busy day, Yao Feiran and the others wiped themselves down, changed into clean clothes, and followed a group of people to the inner courtyard. As they walked over, an old woman sat at the head of the table, flanked by female relatives.

Manager Liu Zhi respectfully said, "Madam, ladies, young ladies, these are the people the matchmaker brought today."

"Yes, all of you, look up and let me see."

As soon as Yao Feiran looked up, she saw many eyes on her face. It seemed that the original owner of this body must have been quite good-looking. Fortunately, she was only eight years old, so no one should have any other intentions.

Madam Wei smiled and said, "You are quite pretty. What's your name?"

"Yao Feiran".

"What kind of things can you do?"

"embroidery."

Embroidery is a similar craft in any world. Although the techniques and methods may differ, as long as the finished product is aesthetically pleasing, that's enough.

The old lady was somewhat surprised. Not many children knew how to embroider. Could she be referring to simple embroidery? Liu Zhi frowned. He knew that Yao Feiran came from an ordinary background. How could she possibly learn embroidery?

"It's still early, bring your needle and thread and embroider a little trinket for us to see."

"Yes."

When Yao Feiran walked to the corner of the room, her gaze quickly swept over the people present and landed on a six-year-old girl. She was fair-skinned and chubby, with only a simple velvet flower on her head. She looked around and held a half-eaten snack in her hand.

Yao Feiran glanced at it and memorized it, then immediately began embroidering. After she finished, Old Madam Wei had also finished looking at the people. These people were young and not particularly outstanding, so they were randomly assigned to courtyards. Only then did she remember Yao Feiran and said leisurely, "What did this girl embroider? Let me see."

Liu Zhi bowed and handed over Yao Feiran's embroidery. Old Madam Wei looked at the tight stitches with obvious surprise. She sat up straighter and a plum blossom appeared before her eyes.

Madam Wei smiled and said, "The embroidery is quite good, and the design is ingenious."

The First Madam asked curiously, "What did you embroider that made Mother smile?"

When Madam Wei unfolded the embroidery, Second Madam Su Yumei felt it looked familiar. Her daughter, Wei Wanying, exclaimed, "Grandmother, this looks just like the velvet flower in my hair!"

Everyone suddenly realized.

Madam Wei said, "Since you have embroidered this velvet flower, then go to the Third Miss's room. From now on, she will be called Fei Ran."

"Yes, madam."

After achieving her goal, Yao Feiran breathed a sigh of relief. Serving a little girl was much better than serving others, as the other girl's luck was on her side.

Before entering the inner courtyard, one must learn the rules. Only after the governess approves can one go to the Third Miss's courtyard. Yao Feiran became the first to pass and was quickly assigned to Wei Wanying's courtyard.

Su Yumei met with her alone and gave her a few more admonitions, mainly about not being outwardly compliant but inwardly disobedient, and about serving her master well.

Yao Feiran naturally pretended to be apprehensive. After arriving at Wei Wanying's courtyard, she was assigned to a double room by the old lady of Wei, which was equivalent to the treatment of a second-class maid. However, Yao Feiran was still young.

After finding a place to settle down, Yao Feiran began to think about the general situation.

The eldest son of the Wei family is the prefect of Cangzhou. Both the eldest and second sons are the old lady's sons. Wei Wanying is the third daughter of the second son.

Yao Feiran overheard the conversation between the matchmaker and the others. It seemed that the First Madam had miscarried, which implicated many servants, resulting in the punishment of a number of servants and leaving many vacancies in the mansion.

However, I only heard that the servants were kicked out, but I didn't hear that the concubine was punished. Either it was covered up, or the concubine was exempted from punishment.

Therefore, it's best not to go over there with the eldest son's family, otherwise they might get implicated.

She wanted freedom, but for now, she had to stay in the Wei family mansion. Otherwise, even if she managed to escape, she would just be a woman without any status.

As for the Yao family, Yao Feiran recalled that everyone was very secretive about the original owner's birth mother, so she guessed that she was still alive.

None of this has anything to do with me, except that the Yao family owes me a life.

As Yao Feiran was pondering a problem, Cuiyu, who was in the same room, spoke up: "I heard that your needlework has pleased the old lady. My shoes are broken, could you fix them for me?"

Yao Feiran sensed a hint of arrogance in her tone and said calmly, "I won't."

"You won't?" Cuiyu's eyes showed some displeasure: "Is it that you won't, or that you're unwilling? You don't think you're something special just because you got a few words from the old lady, do you? We servants are just teased by our masters when they're in a good mood, and they don't even care about us."

Yao Feiran looked speechless. She had just arrived and was immediately given a hard time. She was acting like a lunatic. She turned over and went to sleep.

Cuiyu was instantly furious.

The next day, Yao Feiran woke up on time. As dawn broke, she thought to herself that serving others was not suitable for her, but she needed an opportunity to leave.

I had just finished tidying up my clothes when I heard a noise outside the door.

"Feiran".

Yao Feiran opened the door, and standing in front of her was Liu'er, Wei Wanying's head maid, who looked to be about sixteen years old.

"Sister Liu."

"These next few days, you'll come with me and go to the kitchen to bring the Third Miss's breakfast."

"Yes."
