Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic Woman Uses Her Stunning Beauty to Complete Missions

Ms. Xu nodded in agreement.

Shen Han then asked, "Is Madam Wu doing well in the backyard?" Madam Wu was the original owner's biological mother.

Madam Xu's face stiffened, and she forced a smile. "Master, it's the same as always. You know Madam Wu's temperament; she can sit there for ages without saying a word."

Shen Han patted the wrinkles on his clothes. "Fine, I'll stay at Wu's house tonight."

As Madam Xu watched Shen Han's departing figure, she twisted her handkerchief tightly. That wretched woman, she didn't deserve the master.

Seeing her mother's expression, Shen Huanyu's resentment deepened. They were just two servants, how dare they climb over her and her mother? Shen Chumo, you wait, I will avenge this sooner or later.

The original owner's mother, Wu, was originally a maidservant to the mistress, Xu. When Xu was pregnant with Shen Huanyu, she was forcibly taken by Shen Han while he was drunk.

Madam Wu knew Madam Xu's temperament well; she was petty and narrow-minded. She always kept a close watch on Shen Han, preventing any other woman from getting close to him.

Moreover, she was a member of the Xu family; if the Xu family found out, she would surely die.

Shen Han didn't reveal this matter, so Wu Shi pretended it had never happened and kept it a secret.

But Wu became pregnant, and as her belly grew larger and larger, she was almost dragged out and drowned in a pig cage.

She finally revealed the truth: Xu was so angry that she wanted to beat Wu to death.

But this matter caused a great uproar and alarmed the old lady. The Shen family was short of people, and in order to have an heir, the old lady took it upon herself to protect Wu and made her a concubine.

Although Xu was filled with resentment, she could only swallow her anger for the time being.

After Wu gave birth to the original owner, Xu immediately found an excuse to adopt the original owner into her own household.

On the surface, Xu treated the original owner no differently than her own daughter, and won a good reputation both inside and outside Chang'an.

In reality, the original owner was just a servant of her older sister Shen Huanyu, who was the same age. Xu wanted to make Wu understand that even though Wu had climbed into the master's bed and given birth to a child, she was still her servant, including her child.

As time went by, the original owner gradually grew into adulthood, and her beauty became more and more outstanding, leaving people in awe.

In contrast, Shen Huanyu was originally a rare beauty, but she would pale in comparison whenever she stood next to the original owner of this body.

Shen Huanyu felt jealous of this and even secretly attempted to destroy the original owner's beautiful face.

Fortunately, Shen Han knew that the original owner's beautiful face had an important use, so he stopped Shen Huanyu's actions, thus preserving the original owner's appearance. After that, the original owner was imprisoned in the backyard and lived a quiet life.

To spare her daughter from further torment, Madam Wu remained obedient and stayed within the courtyard, never venturing out unless absolutely necessary. She also never allowed Shen Han to stay overnight when he visited her courtyard.

This attitude pleased Madam Xu, which is why Madam Wu has lived to this day.

However, now that Shen Han has remembered Wu Shi because of Shen Chumo's matter, he wants to stay overnight in her room, which has stirred up a strong anger in Xu Shi's heart.

Hmph, let her be smug for a few days. Once Shen Chumo is no longer useful, her biological mother should naturally die too.

...

The next day, Shen Chumo lay lazily on a recliner, with some delicate pastries and fresh fruit on the small table next to her.

Shen Chumo closed her eyes and let the breeze caress her face. The breeze was like a gentle elf, softly teasing her hair and bringing a touch of coolness.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on her. These shadows, like golden threads, seemed to drape her in a golden veil, making her snow-white skin glow as if a goddess had descended to earth.

Faced with such a beautiful scene, the palace servants of Liuyun Palace unconsciously slowed down their movements, afraid of disturbing this picturesque moment.

At this moment, Hongye took out a letter and walked up to Shen Chumo, saying softly with a hint of worry, "Your Highness, a letter has arrived from the Shen residence."

Shen Chumo slightly opened her eyes, her eyes, as clear as autumn water, sparkling with a hint of laziness and contentment.

The Shen family has already lost their composure so quickly? Shen Chumo sat up and smiled slightly, saying, "Let me take a look."

Shen Chumo opened the letter, quickly glanced at it, and chuckled. In the letter, Shen Han wrote in a tone that seemed important but was actually a command:

My daughter, Chumo, has been in the palace for many days, and I have been very worried about her. However, the rise and fall of our family also depends on you. Now that His Majesty Xie Yanhuai is the ruler of the world, and you are a concubine, you should do your best to please His Majesty. Your beauty is a powerful gift from Heaven, and you should make good use of it to seduce His Majesty and make him favor you more.

Only in this way can the Shen family maintain its foothold in the imperial court, and its family glory be continued. There must be no slackening; otherwise, you will be held responsible for the family's peril. Also, your mother, Madam Wu, will be well cared for by your father; you can rest assured.

The words reveal Shen Han's selfishness and opportunism, completely disregarding Shen Chumo's situation and feelings in the palace, treating her only as a tool to advance his family's interests.

He actually wanted Shen Chumo to seduce Xie Yanhuai. This Shen Han really doesn't care about his daughter's life. The letter also mentioned Madam Wu, and he even wanted to use Madam Wu to blackmail her.

Shen Chumo closed the letter, a hint of coldness in her smile, and handed it to Hongye. "Keep this safe and sound." She would use this letter to make Shen Han taste what it felt like to be scorned by the world.

For the next few days, Shen Chumo did nothing, leisurely lying in the palace eating desserts and reading picture books. Green Sleeve and Red Leaf were initially a little anxious, but now they have calmed down.

It's strange that the palace didn't mistreat the ladies-in-waiting. Even though they were palace maids of unfavored concubines, everyone always treated them with great respect whenever they went out.

The only downside is that the Empress is far too fond of Xiao Huaizi. These days, he not only lets her comb her hair but also massages and rubs her back, taking over all their chores. What a cunning little Huaizi!

In the middle of the night, when it was dark and windy,

Inside the Qianyang Hall, the solemn atmosphere was oppressive. Tall beams and pillars supported the heavy roof, and sunlight streamed through the carved window lattices, but could not dispel the oppressive feeling that permeated the air.

Xie Yanhuai lay alone in the empty bedroom, surrounded by silence, with only his heavy breathing echoing in the air.

Today was another day when his residual poison flared up, and the familiar pain came like a tidal wave, assaulting his nerves in waves.

It felt as if someone was roasting every inch of his skin with an iron rod. Xie Yanhuai hunched over, as if being pressed down by an invisible mountain. He clenched his teeth, and sweat poured out like a burst dam, soaking his clothes and clinging tightly to his body.

His face was as pale as paper, and his eyes revealed pain and exhaustion. His hands were tightly gripping a handkerchief, and his fingers were white from the force.

This handkerchief was taken from Shen Chumo by Xie Yanhuai. It was filled with Shen Chumo's fragrance, and only when Xie Yanhuai smelled this scent did he feel a little better.

In the past, every time this happened, Xie Yanhuai wished someone would kill him, so he could be freed from this endless torment.

But... Xie Yanhuai laughed painfully, yet they wouldn't even let him die! Simply because he was that person's last remaining bloodline in the world.

He was never loved by that person for a single day while he was alive, yet after his death, he was forced to bear the responsibility for him—it's incredibly ironic, incredibly tragic...
