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

These past few days, Yao Feiran has been trying to teach Zhou Chengyuan to read, but he doesn't seem to be cut out for it. He probably knows he's too slow-witted, so he's still learning despite his difficulties.

Reading and recognizing characters should be possible, but taking the imperial examinations is probably just a pipe dream.

Yao Feiran didn't necessarily want to raise a successful child; she just wanted one who could support herself.

After Wen Chenyi left, Zhou Qi was terrified for a long time. After a while, he thought everything was fine, but he dared not do anything again. If Yao Feiran died, the Wen family would definitely suspect him.

Yao Feiran noticed that Zhou Qi had started pestering her again, putting on a deeply affectionate face. Yao Feiran was also impressed by his easygoing nature, as he actually wanted the two of them to get along peacefully under these circumstances.

"I've already sent Xi'er back. I was out of my mind back then. My cousin drugged my tea, which led to Xi'er's pregnancy. I'm so sorry. But it's all settled now. We're husband and wife after all, and we're going to spend our lives together. Why dwell on this?"

"Is that so?"

Zhou Qi probably didn't know that Yao Feiran already knew that Luo Xian was pregnant with her second child. He even tried to shift the blame onto Luo Xian. Such is human nature.

However, Yao Feiran was too impatient to argue with a dead person, so she casually said a few words and sent him away.

The next day, Zhou Fengxi came over, crying and shouting, "It's all because of you, you vicious woman, that my mother was driven away, and now I'm going to be driven away too!"

"The person who drove you away was your father. He was useless; he couldn't protect you and even provoked you." Yao Feiran said calmly, "You hate me for being useless, but it's all the karma created by your father. I have no grudge against your mother."

Moreover, Yao Feiran has said many times that she could take Luo Xian as a concubine, but Zhou Qi has made all sorts of excuses. Could it be that he is still dreaming of making Luo Xian his official wife?

Judging from Zhou Fengxi's unwilling look, she probably doesn't believe it at all. But what does it have to do with her? If it were the original owner, she would still pity this daughter she had loved and protected for many years. But if it were Yao Feiran, her own child was suffering outside, and this imposter who was enjoying happiness in place of her child should return to her original fate.

Afterwards, Yao Feiran observed mourning while carefully raising her two children. Some members of the Zhou family who were not good at taking advantage of her tried to bully her, but she beat them up severely. After seeing her fight, Zhou Chengyuan suddenly wanted to learn martial arts.

Yao Feiran thought he was just curious. Zhou Chengyuan had been eating well and had grown stronger these days, so it wouldn't hurt to teach him martial arts. Unexpectedly, he actually persisted and started training every morning before dawn.

This world hasn't even reached the level of a low-level martial arts world, but Yao Feiran knows many moves, techniques for exerting force, and ways to train without getting hurt.

After a year of training, Zhou Chengyuan's strength and reaction ability were significantly higher than those of his peers.

In that year, Zhou Qi encountered fleeing bandits on the road and was killed. After all, he was an official of the imperial court, and the bandits were quickly captured and beheaded. However, Zhou Qi never returned.

The village of Wuxing was filled with sorrow. After all, Zhou Qi was the only one to become an official and had even married the daughter of the Minister's family. It seemed that the Zhou family was about to rise to prominence, but then Zhou Qi passed away.

Wen Chenyi also came over; this time he was there to take Yao Feiran away.

Although Uncle Zhou was afraid of Wen Chenyi, he was still quite unhappy and said, "Zhou Qi's wife is now a member of the Zhou family. How can she bring her child back to the capital?"

Wen Chenyi sneered, "You think you can support my nephew from your poor backwater? Dream on. Besides, my nephew is still alive and can make a living on his own, so you don't need to worry about him."

After saying that, Wen Chenyi left with Yao Feiran, who naturally took all of her dowry with her.

Zhou Chengyuan is still young. If he stays here, he might not even be able to keep his dowry. In this village, widows are the easiest to be bullied, especially those who have a lot of money.

Yao Feiran brought her son and daughter to the capital and bought a house near the Wen family residence.

Upon arriving at the Wen residence, Madam Wen came out and took Yao Feiran's hand: "You child, I told you you shouldn't have married him, but you insisted that he would become a high-ranking official, and even went on a hunger strike to force your mother to comply. Now you regret it, don't you?"

"My daughter was obsessed for a time and dragged the family down with her."

"What do you mean by being a burden? I'm happy as long as you're doing well. I've cleaned up your old courtyard for you, so you can move in there."

"No, I bought a house nearby."

Why move out?

"I heard that my elder brother is getting married, so it wouldn't be appropriate for me to move in after that."

After the new sister-in-law arrives, she will be in charge of the household. It's better for her, a widowed sister-in-law, not to move in, lest she be disliked.

"So what? She can still be the head of my Wen family. You are my daughter, and no one is allowed to look down on you."

Yao Feiran thought to herself that these people really didn't follow the worldly ways, but she quite liked them.

"It's not good for the Wen family's reputation anyway. My daughter lives nearby and can visit her mother more often. Also, Rong'er is all grown up now. Please remember to take her out to see the world when you go to banquets in the future."

"Okay." Mother Wen readily agreed. At this moment, she also saw Zhou Chengyuan. The child was still eating pastries one after another, his face was stuffed full.

"This child is the one who was switched before, right? He looks so adorable. He should eat more."

Yao Feiran: "..."

Afterwards, Yao Feiran settled down in the capital. The current emperor had five princes. The sixth prince ascended the throne initially, but later, after the original owner's half-sister was reborn, she saved the third prince, who then ascended the throne. Regardless of who ascended the throne, no one was particularly fond of the Wen family, but at least the third prince would not target the Wen family.

Now that Zhou Chengyuan is familiar with Yao Feiran, he speaks much more freely. Since there are few men in the Wen family, Wen Chenyi would occasionally take him out to play. One day when they returned, Yao Feiran saw that he had bruises on his face.

"What happened? How did you get those injuries on your face?"

Yao Feiran glanced at Wen Chenyi, who looked smug: "I just took my nephew to Qiao Yingcheng's place. His younger brother is about the same age as my nephew, but he was no match for my nephew at all."

Qiao Yingcheng is the eldest son of Marquis Wu'an and has a good relationship with Wen Chenyi. Marquis Wu'an was granted his title through military merit, and his family members are mostly military officers.

Yao Feiran glanced at Wen Chenyi indifferently, and Wen Chenyi instantly felt a little guilty, but still forced himself to say, "Qiao Yingcheng thinks highly of this kid. He said that if this kid receives proper training, he can participate in the martial arts examination when he gets older. His family has a special training facility."

Yao Feiran made Zhou Chengyuan learn martial arts simply to give him the ability to protect himself, and there would be many border wars in the future, since the original owner's husband died on the battlefield in her previous life.
