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

"That old woman from the Tongyang Marquis's mansion is deliberately trying to drag my granddaughter into a pit of fire. I won't let her get away with this."

If the original owner of this body had married into the Tongyang Marquis's mansion, Wen's mother wouldn't have said that. But since it was her half-sister who married in, the relationship between the two families was quite different.

"Mother, please don't be angry. I will carefully consider Rong'er's marriage."

Just when everyone thought the matter was settled, Wen Lintang actually showed up at their door. Yao Feiran looked at him with a calm expression and said, "Sister, you didn't come here to talk about Xiao Shangfeng, did you?"

Wen Lintang seemed to sense that Yao Feiran's eyes had seen through everything, and she rarely showed an embarrassed expression.

"Why are you unwilling to let your daughter marry into the Xiao family?"

Yao Feiran was still thinking of giving her some face, but when she heard her say this, she knew that she had come to persuade the lady of Tongyang Marquis.

She flipped the table.

"Get lost. My choice of personnel was poor, and I will bear the consequences. You have no right to interfere in Rong'er's affairs. Don't you know what kind of person Xiao Shangrong is? What, you want to deal with me?"

In this life, the original owner deserved to suffer the consequences of her own actions, but after Yao Feiran came over, she did nothing to Wen Lintang. The two kept to themselves and did not interfere with each other. In the previous life, Wen Zhilan used Zhou Qi to demote the Wen family again and again, and now they owe each other nothing.

Wen Lintang revealed a resentful look. How could she not hate her? She was helpless and neglected in the Wen family. Although they were both daughters of the Wen family, she was ignored by her father and was inferior to her younger sister in every way.

Now, this younger sister not only lives a carefree life, but her son has also repeatedly made military achievements. She has not received the punishment she deserves. When she was with Zhou Qi, she always tolerated him. But in this life, Zhou Qi is dead.

Yao Feiran saw her gaze and slapped her across the face: "I'm asking you, do you want to live in peace with me, or do you want to be my mortal enemy!"

If the other party dares to be hostile towards her, then she should seriously consider how to deal with her.

Even if the Wen family owes her something, so what? Usually, Wen's mother only neglects her and doesn't lack food or clothing. She's just not as well off as the original owner of this body. The only mistake is forcing her to marry. In ancient times, marriages were arranged by parents and matchmakers, so she had no room to refuse. Most importantly, the two of them are now on different sides, so Yao Feiran will naturally protect the Wen family.

Blood trickled from the corner of Wen Lintang's mouth, and her face was swollen. Her eyes widened as she met Yao Feiran's icy gaze, and her hands trembled involuntarily.

She actually started to be afraid of her younger sister.

At this moment, Lu Mingli appeared out of nowhere and rushed out, shouting, "She is my wife! How dare you hit her? I'll kill you!"

After another flurry of blows, Lu Mingli was beaten to a pulp.

Just as Yao Feiran was about to continue playing, a series of urgent sounds came from outside.

"Imperial edict has arrived!"

Yao Feiran straightened her slightly disheveled collar, bowed to the person who came, and then the eunuch read out the imperial edict in a high-pitched voice.

"By imperial decree... the Emperor decrees... blah blah blah..."

Roughly speaking, Zhou Chengyuan repeatedly distinguished himself in battle, eventually capturing the commander-in-chief alive and conquering several enemy cities. He was then granted the title of Marquis of Ever-Victorious Victory, bestowed with a mansion, and awarded one hundred taels of gold...

"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty."

Unexpectedly, her son was really capable, but she was also very capable; she had trained a group of elites for her son.

The eunuch who read the imperial edict paid no attention to Lu Mingli lying on the ground, but simply congratulated Yao Feiran with a smile before leaving.

With this interruption, Lu Mingli lost his mind to cause trouble for Yao Feiran. Wen Lintang helped Lu Mingli up and looked at Yao Feiran with complicated eyes. She never expected that she would be so lucky in her life. Her son had actually made unparalleled military achievements and was even granted the title of marquis.

A few days later, Xiao Shangfeng was having an affair with a married woman in the middle of the night when the house caught fire. He ran out naked and was caught red-handed. After that, news of him keeping several mistresses and having several children with them quickly spread.

The Xiao family was impeached by many people because of their improper family conduct, and Xiao's father was severely scolded by the emperor.

Wen's mother directly cursed in the street that the Lady of Tongyang was treacherous and cunning, and wanted to drag her granddaughter into a pit of fire.

For a long time, Lady Tongyang dared not go out.

Now that Zhou Chengyuan has been ennobled, and Zhou Ruorong is his older sister, their family background and status are vastly different from before. Many people are now mocking the Xiao family for overestimating their own abilities.

Soon after, Zhou Chengyuan returned, attracting much attention along the way. After reporting to the emperor in the palace, he returned to his newly bestowed residence and happened to see his mother and sister resting in the pavilion.

"Mother, sister."

"You're back. How long are you planning to stay?"

"I estimate it will take more than half a month."

"You've worked so hard. I've been so worried about you that I haven't been able to eat or drink."

Zhou Chengyuan's lips twitched, but his mother didn't seem worried at all, lying on the chaise lounge eating.

"Mother, thank you for giving me this team. You must have trained them for many years."

"The help you receive is all thanks to the good karma your mother created; they are the ones who are willing to help you."

"I know."

Training private soldiers is a capital offense, let alone such highly skilled and loyal subordinates who are like death squads.

His mother also frequently donated supplies and medical items to the army through caravans. Having done so much for him behind the scenes, Zhou Chengyuan naturally stopped worrying about it.

During the time Zhou Chengyuan stayed at home, Yao Feiran took good care of his health. After all, only when her son was successful could she leisurely live the life of an old matriarch.

However, Zhou Chengyuan couldn't sit still for long.

"Mother, Prince Li has been ambushed and disappeared. I must go find him."

Prince Li was the fifth prince, the son of Consort Li. He was brave and skilled in battle. In the original story, he spent several years on the border and made many military achievements. He was originally the most likely person to become the crown prince, but he died on the border.

"You are very worried about King Li."

Zhou Chengyuan lowered his head and remained silent for a moment before saying, "Prince Li has treated his son very well, and his son has fought alongside him for many years."

"You want King Li to succeed to the throne?"

"Why not? He cares about the people and takes the initiative to lead troops to the battlefield. Every time, he is at the forefront. After capturing a city, he does not allow his soldiers to oppress the people. I think he is a benevolent ruler who is both brave and resourceful."

Yao Feiran had the Destiny-Reversing Beads calculate that King Li's ascension to the throne would actually extend the dynasty's lifespan, and a golden age was on the horizon.

Unfortunately, he died on the battlefield in both his previous lives.

Yao Feiran smacked him on the back of the head: "You brat, I told you to stay away from the prince, and now you're taking sides without saying a word, huh?"

Zhou Chengyuan lowered his head, his expression one of remorse, but he remained unrepentant.

Yao Feiran did some calculations and said, "I know where he is. Tell me the route Prince Li took."

Zhou Chengyuan was skeptical, but he still told her the route King Li took back.

"He is in Yuequan Village."

"Mother, how did you know?"

"Let me do some quick calculations."

"..."
