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

Yao Feiran followed Liu'er around Wei Wanying all day. Now that Wei Wanying has started learning embroidery, Yao Feiran accompanies her to learn embroidery after breakfast.

It seems that Liu'er really taught Yao Feiran how to serve Wei Wanying closely. There is competition among maids, but Liu'er didn't have this concern. She told Yao Feiran everything about Wei Wanying's likes, habits, and taboos.

Although Yao Feiran was lazy, she was quick and efficient and had a good memory. Liu'er felt much more relaxed while she was busy, and she saw that Yao Feiran's eyes were getting more and more satisfied.

Cuiyu seized the opportunity to fawn over Wei Wanying. Although Liu'er noticed something, she didn't say anything, but simply assigned her other tasks and forbade her from getting close to the Third Miss.

Half a month later, Yao Feiran was assigned more and more tasks, mostly serving Wei Wanying personally. Cuiyu was clearly a little irritable and tried to approach the room several times, but was blocked by Liu'er.

In the afternoon, Wei Wanying got sleepy and fell asleep in her room. Yao Feiran was embroidering a purse that Wei Wanying needed in a side room. After a long time, crying came from next door: "My rabbit is broken! Who broke it! Waaaaah—"

During the day, when the master takes a nap, he won't be constantly guarding the door; at most, he'll be waiting to be summoned from a side room.

When Liu'er saw the rabbit, her expression changed. This was the third young lady's favorite wooden carving, which her uncle had carved himself. It had to be placed by her bedside before she went to sleep. Now, it was covered in holes, and it looked like someone had poked several holes in it with a knife.

If Second Madam finds out, the matter of the wood carving is a small matter, but the fact that someone brought a knife to Wei Wanying's side is a big deal, and these servants will inevitably be punished.

Liu'er quickly whispered, "Third Miss, let's have someone outside carve another one for you later."

"No, no, their carvings are too ugly!"

Liu'er looked embarrassed. The woodcarvers by the roadside were not very skilled, and the Third Miss had high standards and looked down on them. If she were to find a well-established woodcarver, they would specialize in carving large ornaments for wealthy families, and their commissions would be expensive. If she wanted them to carve a rabbit, she would probably have to inform the eldest mistress, and things would get out of hand.

Liu'er was frantically trying to soothe her when Su Yumei went out, leaving her at a loss for what to do.

Yao Feiran did some calculations and realized it was Cuiyu. Could this guy be trying to frame her? It's so unfair and harmful to both of them, and he's using such a crude method.

Sure enough, Cuiyu walked over and pointed at Yao Feiran, saying, "Sister Liu, I just saw her sneaking into the Third Miss's room. I don't know what she was doing, but she must have ruined the Third Miss's rabbit."

Yao Feiran and Liu'er both fell silent. Before Yao Feiran could say anything, Liu'er spoke first.

Why did she want to destroy the Third Sister's rabbit?

Cuiyu said confidently, "Children can't keep secrets. She often says that Sister Liu is too strict with her and gives her all sorts of chores and hard work."

Liu'er's heart sank. Fei Ran had never complained before. It was probably because Cui Yu was resentful that she wouldn't let her get close to the Third Miss. This matter could only be reported after the Second Madam returned to the mansion. Although the First Madam was in charge of the household, there was still a layer between them.

After Liu'er finally calmed Wei Wanying down, Yao Feiran said, "Sister Liu, I have evidence that Cuiyu made it. Please come with me."

Cuiyu was taken aback at first, then showed a disdainful look. The knife had already been placed on Yao Feiran's pillow, which made the evidence even more conclusive.

The group followed Yao Feiran into the house. Yao Feiran picked up a small knife from under her pillow, and Cuiyu exclaimed, "You still say it wasn't you? This knife and the hole in the wood carving look like a perfect match, and it was on your bedside table!"

Yao Feiran said, "There's a blacksmith shop at the end of South Street. Cuiyu bought it there. We'll find out if we confront each other."

Cuiyu's face paled: "How did you know?"

What else could Liu'er not understand? Besides, Yao Feiran came alone; where would she have gotten this knife?

Cuiyu is still too young, her methods are despicable and she lacks common sense. I guess she has been heavily relying on Yao Feiran recently, which is why Cuiyu is so anxious.

"Cuiyu, you brought a knife into the mansion without permission and damaged the Third Miss's wood carving. I will definitely report this to the Second Mistress."

Cuiyu said somewhat unwillingly, "Sister Liu, I've known you for so long. How can a little girl like her be allowed to take care of the Third Miss? I acted impulsively and did something foolish. Please, Sister Liu, don't tell the Second Mistress."

Liu'er's face turned cold. This was not a matter of impulse; it had already implicated everyone.

That evening, Yao Feiran stayed by Wei Wanying's side, Liu'er went to report on matters, and Cuiyu was placed under house arrest. Wei Wanying was depressed, and her eyes reddened again as she looked at the rabbit puppet that had been poked to pieces.

"Waaaaah."

Seeing the child start crying again, Yao Feiran said, "Don't cry, I'll just carve you a new one."

Wei Wanying pouted: "You're lying. Someone else tried to fool me like that before, but the result was horribly ugly."

"If you hire a woodcarver, he can definitely carve it well."

"My aunt will say I'm wasting money."

Yao Feiran pondered for a moment. The eldest son was a prefect, while the second son seemed to be only a scholar who had failed the imperial examinations multiple times. The family's expenses all had to be covered by the eldest daughter-in-law, and they had not yet separated the family property, so they were probably subject to many restrictions.

"I can carve it well, I just don't have the tools."

"I can have someone buy it."

"That won't do, I'll get scolded later. Even though it was Cuiyu who ruined your rabbit this time, both Sister Liu and I will be punished."

Wei Wanying's eyes widened a little as she asked curiously, "Feiran, your name is Feiran, right? I feel like you're different from other people."

"What's different?"

"Tell me the truth, other people always think I'm too young and don't dare to tell me anything."

"You're quite smart."

Wei Wanying said with some pride, "Of course, I know everything. Cuiyu probably broke my rabbit because she was worried that you would like me. Besides, Sister Liu will be leaving soon, and you will stay by my side from now on."

Why did you leave?

"Because her mother was kind to my mother, she was allowed to be freed from slavery and marry a good man. She is already engaged." Wei Wanying pouted, "I don't like Cuiyu. She doesn't like me at all. She just wants to gain face in front of the adults. I want to choose you as my personal maid."
