Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character

"Liangyuan, what do you mean by that?"

"His Highness the Crown Prince is different from His Majesty. He is ruthless and resolute. He has long been dissatisfied with the redundant officials and the corrupt officials in the court. The Lan family, as military officers, has military power, but the head of the family has been staying in the capital for a long time and can be considered useless." Lan Wan'er said slowly, but there were still many doubts in this.

She roughly went through the memories of the original owner and the two pursuers, but she still didn't quite understand why the Lan family had been raided and beheaded. They had no real power, only an empty title. Why did His Highness the Crown Prince have to kill them after ascending the throne?

Which wealthy and powerful family doesn't have those crimes that are out in the open? Why insist on eliminating the Lan family?

The Crown Prince's wife asked in a serious, low voice, "Lady, have you received any hints from His Highness?"

Lan Wan'er's expression was inscrutable, but she did not answer the question.

Lady Tian, ​​a beat slow to react, said, "Then let's just hand over the military power. Anyway, the Marquis isn't going to the northern frontier anymore, and our family's title has been passed down through generations. Why suffer like that?"

"Without weapons in hand, you're just meat on the chopping block, to be cut down whenever the superiors want." Lan Wan'er was speechless. You only have the right to choose if you have leverage.

"We're related by marriage. You've already entered the Eastern Palace. With your talent and beauty, wouldn't it be easy to make His Highness the Crown Prince pay more attention to you? When you have another child, His Highness will show favor to the Lan family out of consideration for his beautiful wife and young child," Madam Tian said matter-of-factly.

Lan Wan'er was too lazy to argue with her anymore. Arguing with a woman who had lived half her life on this theory and was living a very comfortable life was a waste of time, and she had limited time to see her family.

"Eldest sister-in-law, my mother is foolish. Go back and tell Father and Brother that if they don't want to be lambs to the slaughter and don't want to live a life of begging for someone's knife to fall, they should find a way to return to the Northern Frontier to guard it. The Lan family has guarded the Northern Frontier for generations. Does Father want to change the ancestral will?" Lan Wan'er stated her decision directly.

To put it bluntly, having soldiers in hand gives one peace of mind. If the Crown Prince still wants to eliminate the Lan family in the future, at least they will have the ability to raise an army and rebel. If they win, they can change the dynasty; if they lose, it can be considered that they are not strong enough. It is better than dying a cowardly and unjust death under the executioner's blade.

The Crown Prince's wife suppressed her shock and slowly said, "Lady, as you know, the Marquis has not been to the Northern Frontier for several years. If he suddenly requests an imperial decree, it may backfire."

"The barbarians on the outskirts of the northern frontier live a hard life during the season when water and grass are scarce. They have not launched a large-scale attack on the northern frontier for several years, but their wolfish ambitions will not change. If there is a large-scale war among the barbarians, let Father and Brother request permission to go and fight."

In the memories of the original owner and the two conquerors, there was a war in the northern frontier this winter. Originally, the Marquis of Valor was going to go, but the Tian family made a big fuss, inviting all sorts of monks and Taoists, and calculated that the Lan family should not go on the expedition, otherwise they would not return. So the matter was dropped.

Finally, it was the Crown Princess's family who went to the northern frontier. With that, the Lan family handed over the border army they had built up over generations.

Lan Wan'er could tell with her toes what kind of monks and Taoists the Tian family had invited.

"Wan'er, we can't let your father go. What will happen to Mother if he leaves?" Madam Tian objected vehemently.

"Your head is already on someone's mind, and you're still thinking about these trivial things? Can't you stay in the capital without your father? If your father goes to the frontier, you won't be the Lady of the Marquis anymore?"

"I disagree with the idea that military generals who are stationed on the frontier year-round all have concubines."

"Then you should come along. It's better than your whole family dying a pathetic death in the capital," Lan Wan'er said irritably.

"How could that be? Your uncle is already working in the Imperial Household Department. He said he can guarantee you will give birth to the Crown Prince's eldest son. At that time, your status will be extremely high, and the Lan family will be in a very advantageous position."

"What did you say?" Lan Wan'er exclaimed in shock. "The Crown Princess's eldest son is already four years old. How could I have given birth to an eldest son?"

The Crown Prince's wife's expression changed.

"Uh, uh, your uncle told me not to tell you. He said you're young and soft-hearted, and he'll take good care of you and make sure you give birth to a son," Madam Tian said evasively.

Lan Wan'er closed her eyes tightly. Neither the original owner nor the two conquerors had this matter in their memories, which proved that they were really kept in the dark by the Tian family. However, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess must have known, otherwise they would not have fabricated charges to kill the Lan family, while the Tian family had been executed long ago.

In the original owner's memories, Madam Tian cried and wailed for her daughter, and the original owner even knelt outside the Crown Prince's study to plead for her maternal uncle's family.

Does her father know the truth? When will he find out? It shouldn't be now, otherwise, given his personality, he would have stopped the Tian family's ignorant and crazy behavior. When the incident came to light, what did he do at his wife's pleading?

Lan Wan'er opened her eyes again, her expression anxious: "Eldest sister-in-law, tell Father to stop the Tian family's foolish deeds immediately, to control the Tian family, at all costs."

"I see."

"The Lan family must do everything they can to return to the northern frontier to guard it. If Father won't go, my two older brothers will. As for my mother," Lan Wan'er gritted her teeth, "as long as she lives a life of luxury and is not bullied, she can no longer be involved in family affairs. Until the Tian family has a smart person to take charge, they will always remain commoners."

Madam Tian's face flushed with anger: "Lan Wan'er, are you crazy? That's your maternal uncle, your uncle's family, and you treat him like this?"

"Mother, I don't want my parents and brother to die without knowing why." Lan Wan'er, on the contrary, became calm.

At this point, there's still time.

Of course, the Lan family was not the Crown Prince's confidant. If she wanted the Lan family to stay in the Northern Frontier with peace of mind, she would have to pay a price, which is the price that every concubine who might have the power of a maternal relative would have to pay.

"Eldest sister-in-law, I'm entrusting the family to you. My mother just needs to be free from suffering."

"I see."

"Next time, I'll find another opportunity to invite you and your second sister-in-law in," Lan Wan'er said calmly and indifferently.

Her mission was to protect the Lan family members and suppress all unstable factors. She was not the original owner of the body and was not affected by her mother's emotional blackmail.

Suddenly, Madam Tian stood up and even raised her hand: "Lan Wan'er, just because you're married doesn't mean you can disrespect your elders. I think you've gone mad."

"Mother, how much silver do you give Uncle every year?" Lan Wan'er looked up at her hand and said coldly, "Even a concubine of the royal family is not someone that an outsider can beat or scold at will."

Even now, Madam Tian still doesn't think her family was wrong. She's so stupid it's laughable. If they really had the ability to get rid of all the Crown Prince's children without anyone noticing, she might have some respect for them. Unfortunately, over the years, the Crown Prince's children have all lived well. On the contrary, after he ascended the throne, children in the harem started dying.

But that has nothing to do with the Tian family or the Lan family anymore, since neither the Tian family survived until the crown prince ascended the throne, and neither the Lan family survived for more than a year.
