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

Zhou Chengyuan ranked second in martial arts this time, but his academic performance was a bit weak, so he went to the border with Qiao Yingcheng.

When Wen Chenyi arrived, his face was still a bit dark: "That Qiao Yingcheng is no good guy. He actually took his nephew to the border. Now that there is war on the border, what should we do if something happens?"

"Chengyuan just passed the martial arts exam and became the second-highest scorer. Instead of waiting for someone to send him, he should take the initiative. Besides, didn't you say before that military merit is the key to promotion?"

Wen Chenyi sighed. Although he had his own child, he also liked this nephew very much. His nephew was obedient and sensible, and quite close to him: "Little sister, aren't you worried at all?"

"This is the path he chose himself. I already prepared him mentally. Besides, brother, stay away from the Fourth Prince. The Wen family is a royalist; do you want to drag the entire Wen family down with you?"

"I didn't take sides." Wen Chenyi still looked a little confused. "You know I'm at the Dali Temple. His Majesty sent the Fourth Prince here for training. We usually only have a relationship as ruler and subject."

"Do you know that the news has spread that the Fourth Prince helped you out of the restaurant last night?"

"What? But it's not a big deal."

Wen Chenyi frowned. Last night, the Fourth Prince invited everyone to a banquet. Wen Chenyi got drunk and passed out. In the end, his servants took him back to the mansion. He had no recollection of anything that had happened before.

Yao Feiran knew this was just the beginning. Later, he would be schemed to take Chunfei's maternal daughter as a concubine, and his wife would even have a premature birth. In the end, he would have no choice but to become part of the Fourth Prince's lineage.

"Be careful in the future. The Fourth Prince is cunning and treacherous, and His Majesty's choice is definitely not him."

Wen Chenyi also began to dislike the Fourth Prince and decided to be more careful to keep his distance from him.

A few days later, reminded by the Reversal of Fate Pearl, Yao Feiran disguised herself as a maid and followed Wen Chenyi to attend the full moon celebration of the fourth prince, Xiang Wang's eldest son.

Wen Chenyi looked at Yao Feiran's disguised face with curiosity: "When did you learn this?"

I learned it when I was bored.

Wen Chenyi kept glancing at her, wondering why this younger sister had come with him.

After a while, Prince Xiang came out, and the maids served wine to each of them. Yao Feiran whispered, "Don't drink."

"Ah... Oh, okay."

Wen Chenyi obediently put down his wine cup. Unexpectedly, the Prince of Xiang stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Lord Wen, thank you for your guidance these days, which has enabled me to gain my father's favor."

Wen Chenyi's expression froze. What qualifications did he have to teach the prince? He was just a sixth-rank Dali Temple Assistant, and it was only arranged by Dali Temple Minister Zhou that he explained the case to Prince Xiang. Because Prince Xiang had different opinions, His Majesty approved of them and praised Prince Xiang in the hall.

All eyes turned to Wen Chenyi. Although Wen Chenyi did not hold a high official position, his father was the Minister of Revenue and was deeply trusted by the emperor.

"Your Highness is too kind. I am not capable of teaching Your Highness. It is Your Highness's own exceptional abilities that make you so."

"Haha, Lord Wen is too modest. I'll toast you."

Now Wen Chenyi had no choice but to drink it, so he held his breath and drank it down.

After a while, Wen Chenyi began to feel dizzy, and his face turned red. Prince Xiang said, "Lord Wen seems to have a low alcohol tolerance. Why don't you go to the inner palace to rest for a while?"

With such clumsy methods, it's no wonder the emperor looked down on this son. Moreover, even if such methods were used, the original owner's father was no fool. Therefore, after the third prince ascended the throne, he did not purge the Wen family. At most, he simply used the excuse of "a new emperor, a new court" to stop employing them.

The maids of the Prince of Xiang's mansion helped Wen Chenyi over. Seeing that Wen Chenyi was unsteady on his feet, no one else suspected anything. After entering the backyard, Yao Feiran pricked Wen Chenyi with a needle.

Wen Chenyi cried out in pain and quickly regained consciousness. He hurriedly pushed away the maid who was supporting him and said angrily, "Get out of my way, I'm fine now."

Wen Chenyi looked at the courtyard not far from him, his teeth itching with anger. He turned around and left the palace with Yao Feiran.

"What kind of medicine was that? Why did I suddenly lose my senses?"

"How should I know? I told you not to eat it."

"The Prince of Xiang has practically shoved his wine cup in my face, how can I not give him face?"

"If you are taken into the courtyard, you will see a beautiful girl changing clothes. She is the illegitimate daughter of the Duke of Wen. You will then be forced to marry her as a concubine."

"Pah! Using such despicable methods."

Since these events occurred, Wen Chenyi simply feigned illness and stayed home to recuperate. Wen's father also learned of this and directly impeached the Prince of Xiang in the palace. Although he was unsuccessful, the Prince of Xiang and the Wen family had severed ties.

Several years passed quickly, and Zhou Chengyuan shone brightly on the border, repeatedly achieving military exploits and rising in rank.

With such a younger brother, Zhou Ruorong soon found herself in a family that wanted to marry him. The most prestigious family among them was the second grandson of the Xiao family, whose head was a second-rank imperial censor.

But this time, the matchmaker was Lady Tongyang.

Because the head of the Xiao family was the brother of the wife of the Marquis of Tongyang, he sought to marry Zhou Ruorong for the sake of his nephew's second son, Xiao Shangfeng.

Yao Feiran had long known what kind of person Xiao Shangfeng was. Not only was he short-lived, but he was also a lecherous womanizer who constantly sought new partners. He had countless women hidden in his house, but the Xiao family had suppressed them.

"My grand-nephew is handsome and capable, a perfect match. I am here on his behalf to ask for your daughter's hand in marriage."

Lady Tongyang's expression was haughty; her personal involvement in the matchmaking already showed the other party sufficient respect.

"I'm sorry, I don't want my daughter to get married so early; I want to keep her for a few more years."

"Madam Zhou, you are a widow, and your daughter has no father. The Xiao family is already the most prestigious family you can be. Don't wait until it's too late to regret it."

"Madam, please return." Yao Feiran said in a low voice, "A piece of trash, who knows if he has any venereal diseases."

Lady Tongyang was both shocked and furious. Looking at Yao Feiran's ambiguous smile, she felt a chill run down her spine. It took her a while to regain her composure.

"Since Madam Zhou is so ungrateful, I will not disturb her any further."

Lady Tongyang was still somewhat shaken by Yao Feiran's earlier fright, but then she was filled with rage. She had actually been frightened by a widow; it was an utter disgrace.

Soon, the news that Yao Feiran was so arrogant that she looked down on even the eldest grandson of the Xiao family spread quickly.

Wen's mother also came over and comforted him, saying, "I think that Xiao Shangfeng is nothing special. He's so old and still only a scholar. He also has an outstanding older brother. No matter how good the Xiao family is, it won't end up in his hands."

Yao Fei handed over what she had found to Wen's mother.

Looking at these things, Wen's mother's face turned from black to white: "What kind of trash is Xiao Shangfeng? He plays with all sorts of rotten fish and shrimp. If my granddaughter marries into him, who knows what kind of hell he'll be in."
