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

Yao Feiran knew that the person behind this was Gu Chiyuan. She thought of a possibility: could it be that the other party had the memories of the original plot?

No, it could also be memories from a past life. The female lead is reborn, and the male lead probably regains his memories of his past life later on, knowing that Wei Wanying has this hairpin, but not knowing where it came from.

They were really persistent, but luckily Liu'er wasn't implicated. She sent letters several times and is currently staying in the border town with her husband.

Wei Wanying was summoned to the palace by the emperor. When she came out, Yao Feiran asked her, "What did the emperor ask you?"

"He asked me if I had a hairpin that could project the contents of a cultivation technique into water. Of course, I didn't have one. I said I could send someone to inventory my dowry and look for the hairpin, and His Majesty then let me return."

"Um."

In the end, the matter was settled, and no one found the so-called mental cultivation method in the Pei family. Several forces had sent people to act as spies in the Pei family a few years ago, and even the emperor sent his confidants in, but no one had ever heard of a hairpin that could project subtitles from underwater.

Over here, Gu Chiyuan stared at Wen Yunwan with red-rimmed eyes, and cried out in anguish, "You're back too, aren't you? That's why you chose Pei Zhaoqing, why? You must like me, and I like you too!"

"Why? In my past life, I didn't get to wait for you, but instead I got a cup of poisoned wine. You have so many beautiful wives and concubines, and you neglected me for them, yet you say you like me. What a joke! In this life, I just want to live. I don't want to be with you."

"I'm sorry." Gu Chiyuan covered his face with his hands, tears streaming down his face. "I just wanted to protect you. Back then, my stepmother wanted to harm me, and I didn't want her to know that you were my weakness. I was just one step away from taking you away."

Seeing his manic state, Wen Yunwan couldn't believe it. In her previous life, she had married him with great joy, but every day had been filled with pain.

She spent her whole life trying to stay away from him, but she still got entangled with him and even gained a reputation for being promiscuous.

Gu Chiyuan was hurt by Wen Yunwan's cold face and stormed out the door.

The subordinate, You Chen, approached: "Your Highness, His Majesty has summoned you; he has likely already sensed it."

"It's alright."

Gu Chiyuan moved without any wind.

You Chen's eyes widened: "Young Master...you...you've broken through again."

"Um."

His face became ferocious, and Yun Wan's reputation was ruined. It was all the Pei family's fault, as were those people from his previous life. They should have been dealt with long ago.

.....

The news of Gu Chiyuan breaking through to the ninth rank quickly swept through the capital, and the Empress also re-received Wen Yunwan. No one dared to say anything more.

Not long after, Wei Wanying rushed over: "Feiran, something happened to my brother."

"Is he ruined?" Yao Feiran asked calmly. "I told him not to leave the manor, but he wouldn't listen."

Wei Wanying: "Do you know why he left the manor at night?"

"Wen Yunwan had just come out of the palace. Pei Zhaoqing wanted to see her. He felt that Wen Yunwan had been resisting Gu Chiyuan, so he wanted to elope with her. Gu Chiyuan came and crippled him."

If they weren't in the capital, Gu Chiyuan would have killed the other person on the spot.

Wei Wanying also sighed and simply sat down: "Now my mother-in-law has fainted from crying, and my eldest brother has become the laughing stock in the city. Everyone is laughing at him for overestimating himself and actually trying to steal the wife of a ninth-rank martial artist."

"After all, she's the female lead. The humiliation the Pei family inflicted on her will eventually have to be repaid."

What does this sentence mean?

"It's nothing."

Gu Chiyuan is already so arrogant before even reaching the Grandmaster level, and the Emperor indulges him. It's probably because the royal family is facing a shortage of Grandmasters and urgently needs new ones.

Not long after, the Pei family received an imperial decree ordering Yao Feiran to marry Prince Yong.

Pei's father was somewhat puzzled: "Eunuch Bai, is there a mistake in this imperial edict?"

"No, His Majesty has already shown extraordinary leniency by allowing Miss Yao to cultivate to a high level without reporting it to the court."

The Prince of Yong was an old man in his sixties. He was the younger brother of the late emperor and a Grandmaster. It was said that he had gone astray in his cultivation, which led to his strange and violent personality, and he killed many people.

Yao Feiran accepted the imperial edict: "Alright."

Bai Zheng gave her a strange look, probably thinking that marrying a grandmaster was a good thing, what a fool she was.

After Bai Zheng left.

Pei's father looked anxious: "That Prince Yong is not easy to deal with, how could you agree to that?"

"He's a grandmaster after all; his family must have plenty of resources."

"But he might not give it to you."

"If we don't give it to a Grandmaster whose health has been depleted, we might as well use physical means."

"......"

Yao Feiran did the math and found that this trip actually brought quite a few benefits. Yong Wang was a veteran grandmaster with a lot of rare and precious materials in his house. Moreover, his internal organs were already failing, so using them wouldn't be of much use, and he had stored them all away.

After Yao Feiran left, Song Jian came out and said, "Brother Pei, don't worry, she has already broken through to the ninth rank."

"So fast!?"

"Yes, although I have never fought her, her true energy is solid and she did not break through by force. That King Yong is old and has accumulated old injuries. With the balance of power shifting, that King Yong may not be her match."

Although in reality, a ninth-rank cultivator has virtually no chance of winning against a grandmaster, Song Jian inexplicably felt that Yao Feiran was that powerful.

Mr. Pei didn't quite understand and thought it was true, so his expression improved considerably: "In that case, the resources the Pei family is giving her are indeed insufficient."

"Perhaps if Miss Yao went to the Prince's mansion, it would be like a rat falling into a rice jar."

Pei's father showed a strange expression, "There's such a way to describe it?"

Although she was to marry the Prince of Yong, the Prince of Yong did not send any betrothal gifts, and Yao Feiran did not prepare any dowry. Wei Wanying, on the other hand, took out her own dowry, a box of silver notes and gold: "Feiran, don't you know martial arts? Take this silver and run as far away as you can. That old geezer is almost in his grave. Is he worthy of you?"

Yao Feiran smiled slightly: "No need, there are Grandmasters guarding the area, I'm fine."

The emperor went to great lengths.

She can run away, but the Pei family can't, and neither can Wei Wanying.

After much explanation, Wei Wanying finally felt relieved. That evening, a sedan chair stopped at the Pei residence, and Yao Feiran went straight inside.

Upon entering the Prince Yong's mansion, one finds numerous servants, but all of them appear indifferent.

Steward Liu Zhang stepped forward: "Madam, your courtyard is here."

Yao Feiran looked at the pitch-black courtyard, the doorplate swaying precariously, covered in cobwebs, and frowned: "Change to a clean one."

Liu Zhang scoffed, "Sorry, this is the only vacant courtyard in the Prince's mansion. Take it or leave it! You're just a decoration, yet you're putting on airs like a master."

"Change to a cleaner one, don't you understand?"

Yao Feiran kicked him, sending Liu Zhang sprawling and disoriented. He struggled to his feet, his eyes flashing with malice: "What are you all standing there for? Teach her a lesson!"

These guards were nothing but a rabble, and they soon collapsed to the ground. She grabbed Liu Zhang's neck tightly and said, "I'm asking you, is there any clean house left?"

"You...you dare to lay a hand on me."

"What do I have to be afraid of in fighting you?" Yao Feiran increased the pressure, and just as the other person was about to die, a sense of unease came from behind her.
