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

Yao Feiran said expressionlessly, "I remember that you had eight acres of land. You were all clean-cut and healthy, and it wouldn't have mattered if you raised one of my children. But you insisted on selling me off, and with a death contract no less. At first, I was working at a brokerage firm, and my future was uncertain. Even now, I am a slave of the Wei family, and it has nothing to do with you."

If it were a natural disaster or man-made calamity, people wouldn't say anything about selling one's children. But if a family is well-off and has not suffered any disasters or hardships, yet still sells their daughter, people will gossip about them.

The people's gazes shifted from inquiry to disdain, and Yao Tieniu's face flushed red with embarrassment and anger.

Yao Feiran had no interest in arguing with them, so she turned and followed Wei Wanying. Yao Tieniu tried to rush over, but was blocked by two guards.

Yao Tieniu spat out, "He's an ungrateful wretch!"

Yan Tianhua's eyes widened in surprise and doubt: "Master, this should be someone from the Wei family."

The Wei family was a prominent and wealthy family in Cangzhou, and the prefect was also a member of the Wei family.

"She's got incredibly lucky to have gotten into the Wei family. Dressed like that, and wearing jewelry, does she deserve such good fortune?" Yao Tieniu was so angry he jumped up and down, and his face turned even uglier when he thought of her mother.

An auntie standing nearby said, "I heard that even the maids in the Wei family get five hundred coins a month, and they get bonuses during festivals. Your maid looks like she's a maidservant to the young lady, so she probably gets around eight hundred coins a month too."

"That high? That's more profitable than farming."

"No, and besides, there aren't many expenses. They eat and live at the Wei residence."

Yan Tianhua's eyes flickered as she thought of her son, who was an apprentice at a blacksmith's shop. If she had this sum of money, she would be much better off.

"There's no such thing as a father and daughter holding a grudge overnight. At her age, she craves parental love the most. We should find an opportunity to get closer to her. Her monthly allowance is probably eight taels of silver a year. If we have that money, Yao Fu might be able to marry a good wife in the future."

Yao Tieniu felt a surge of resentment in his chest, but the thought of the silver made him greedy again.

.....

Yao Feiran knew they wouldn't give up so easily, because she could earn money. As a maid in a wealthy family, her monthly allowance was not low. Yao Feiran was good at embroidery, and her monthly allowance was one or two taels of silver. She could basically save her allowance and didn't have many expenses.

After deducting taxes and various expenses, the Yao family only had a surplus of one or two taels of silver per year. Before the original owner was sold, Yao Tieniu had planned to send his son to the blacksmith, which would probably be another expense.

But that had nothing to do with her; what she cared about was how to learn martial arts.

She was originally going to ask directly, but a premonition told her she shouldn't, so she gave up for the time being.

After returning to the manor, Liu'er came back, but she seemed a little uneasy. That evening, Yao Feiran took over from her: "Sister Liu, you've been looking uneasy ever since you came. Is something wrong?"

Liu'er forced a smile and shook her head: "It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well."

Yao Feiran didn't ask any more questions. A few days later, Liu'er received a letter and immediately fainted.

Yao Feiran glanced at the letter, which read:

At 1:15 AM, the entire Liu family was massacred, a result of long-standing feuds.

Liu? Yao Feiran thought of her fiancé.

After a long while, Liu'er finally woke up. Just then, Su Yumei walked in, and Yao Feiran bowed and said, "Second Madam."

"You go out first, I have something to say to her."

"Yes."

Yao Feiran didn't go too far. Her hearing and eyesight were extraordinary, and she could barely hear what was being said inside.

Su Yumei brushed aside the hair that was covering Liu'er's eyes: "What's done is done, and those who are alive must continue to live."

Liu'er's face was pale: "Madam, who is the murderer?"

"I don't know, but the authorities have confirmed that he is a martial artist."

"How could he have offended someone like that?"

"I don't know either. You should rest well and stop thinking about it. Since something happened to him, you can stay in the manor. Your grace of being freed from slavery will not change. It's just that you are safer staying in the Wei family now. Don't investigate anything about him."

Liu'er covered her face and wept, "Thank you for your concern, Second Madam."

Yao Feiran heard the word "martial artist".

Judging from their cryptic expressions, learning martial arts in this world is probably not that easy.

Afterwards, Liu'er stayed to continue serving Wei Wanying, but she was never in high spirits. Yao Feiran was afraid that something might happen if she neglected her duties, so she basically took care of everything herself. Several months later, Liu'er finally recovered some energy.

She took Yao Feiran's hand: "Thank you for everything during this time."

"It's alright. When I first arrived, Sister Liu helped me a lot too."

"My fiancé—he's dead, supposedly because he offended a thug."

Yao Feiran didn't expect her to talk to her about this directly: "Sister Liu, please accept my condolences. The old friends are gone, but the living still have to face life."

"You're right, it's just that I can't let go of him right now. I haven't known him for long, but I've already considered him my future husband, so I can't accept it for the time being."

Liu'er took a deep breath. The person who had smiled at her that day was now dead the very next day.

"Sister Liu, I was born and raised in the countryside and I don't know what martial artists are. Are they scary?"

"Martial arts are ranked at the ninth rank. The current emperor has surpassed the ninth rank and become a grandmaster. He is invulnerable to swords and spears and can take the head of an army of ten thousand men."

Yao Feiran understood immediately. It was indeed a low-level martial art; even the strongest among them could only take the head of one person from among ten thousand soldiers.

"Sister Liu, why did the Liu family offend martial artists?"

Liu'er shook her head: "I don't know, he's always been an ordinary person."

"Well, there's nothing you can do about this. I'm just glad you're alright."

Liu'er looked worried, and Yao Feiran suddenly noticed that her forehead was dark, indicating that she was in danger of being killed soon.

"Sister Liu, we don't have much to do today, let's take a stroll in the back garden."

Today, Su Yumei took Wei Wanying to the temple to pray for blessings. Most of the female members of the Wei family went there, and it is said that they will stay at the temple overnight.

Liu'er was just about to go back to her room to rest, but Yao Feiran invited her to come over, and she did not refuse. Although she still felt pain in her heart, she was mostly healed. The two chatted and strolled around the courtyard, and did not return to their room until evening.

Since Cuiyu left, Yao Feiran is now living alone, but there are two beds. She held Liu'er's hand and said, "Sister Liu, why don't you chat with me a little longer? Anyway, Granny Xie has gone out."

Liu'er gave her a disapproving look, but did not refuse.

In the middle of the night, a commotion broke out in the mansion. Yao Feiran opened her eyes, and the knocking on the door was urgent and intense. Liu'er was also awakened.
