Quick Transmigration: The main focus is on speed.

"Yuan-ge'er, this is the son of my mother's younger sister, named Qin Shou. How about we let Qin Shou and Yuan-ge'er grow up together from now on?"

"Yes, Mother." Qi Yuan nodded obediently.

Seeing this, Mother Qi was extremely pleased and patted Qin Shou, saying, "Go on, go play with your cousin." Then she turned to Qi Yuan and said, "Take your cousin to get acquainted with the surroundings, and come back early when it's time to eat."

"Yes, Aunt."

"Okay, mother."

Stepping out of the house, Qi Yuan looked at the culprit who would later kill his entire family, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.

In his previous life, Qin Shou lost both his mother and father at a young age. Before his death, his father gave Qin Shou a letter, instructing him to seek refuge with the Qi family before passing away without leaving Qin Shou a single penny.

Fortunately, the two families were not far apart. Qin Shou walked for a day and a night, looking like a little beggar, and appeared at the gate of the Qi residence. After getting ready, he finally appeared in front of Qi Yuan looking clean and tidy.

From then on, Qin Shou lived in the Qi family mansion and received all the same treatment as the original owner of the body, practically becoming the second young master of the Qi family.

Not long after, the original owner and Qin Shou went to stay at the country estate with Qi's parents. The original owner accidentally saved a beautiful little girl. In order to distract the human traffickers, the original owner fell and was injured. When Qi's father found him, he was already unconscious.

The original owner burned for three days and two nights, and when he woke up, he forgot everything.

At that time, the original owner was seven years old, and Qin Shou was six years old.

Thirteen years later, Qin Shou, who had just failed the imperial examination, met Liu Ruyan, the second princess of the current emperor. The two hit it off immediately, and the originally aloof second princess became kind and approachable when she saw Qin Shou.

When the Emperor learned that the Second Princess was visiting the Qi residence every day, he assumed that she had taken a liking to the original owner of the body, the top scholar. After a moment's thought, without even asking the Second Princess, he immediately wrote an imperial edict to bestow the marriage upon her.

When the imperial decree of marriage arrived at the Qi residence, all three of them were there. The original owner of this body looked at Liu Ruyan, who came out of Qin Shou's room, and felt a warm sensation on the top of her head. As for Liu Ruyan, she even performed a scene of tearing the imperial decree apart with her bare hands, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

Liu Ruyan was placed in confinement. The Emperor kept the original owner behind for a talk, the main point of which was to make the original owner obey the imperial decree and marry Liu Ruyan, this withered flower. As for Qin Shou, a hint of murderous intent flashed in the Emperor's eyes.

In the Emperor's eyes, Qin Shou, a poor scholar with no parents or relatives, who lived under someone else's roof and did not know how to make progress, was not worthy of marrying his beloved second princess.

What's the use of becoming the top scholar in the imperial examination? With just one word from the emperor, the original owner couldn't refuse even if she didn't want to marry him.

When Liu Ruyan learned that the Emperor intended to harm Qin Shou and insisted that she marry Qin Shou's unscrupulous cousin, she first hid Qin Shou, and then pretended to comply with the imperial decree and married the original owner of the body.

On their wedding day, the two did not consummate their marriage.

Knowing full well that Liu Ruyan and Qin Shou had been intimate, the original owner would never have harmed Liu Ruyan in the slightest.

Coincidentally, Liu Ruyan was also unwilling to consummate the marriage with the original owner, so she returned to the princess's mansion that night and had a passionate encounter with Qin Shou, who was hiding in the princess's mansion.

When Qi's parents couldn't bear to see their son suffer such injustice, they wanted to arrange for the original owner to take a concubine. When Liu Ruyan found out, she ran back to the palace and complained to the Qi family.

The emperor was biased towards his own people, regardless of right or wrong. Even knowing what kind of person Liu Ruyan was, he still issued an edict reprimanding Qi's father and the original owner of the body. This made the entire Liu Kingdom aware that the Qi family was a sucker and a cuckold, and that anyone could take advantage of them.

Mother Qi felt that it was because of adopting Qin Shou, this ungrateful wretch, that the Qi family had ended up like this. Feeling ashamed before the ancestors of the Qi family, Mother Qi hanged herself in the Qi family ancestral hall. Not long after, Father Qi was reprimanded by the emperor again because of the second princess, and fell ill and never recovered.

At Qi's father's mourning hall, Liu Ruyan swaggered in with Qin Shou. The two looked down at the original owner kneeling on the ground and said smugly, "So you called Qin Shou a jinx back then, bringing misfortune to both his father and mother. Now you are one too. Just wait, I will make sure Qin Shou gets his due for all the mistreatment you've done over the years."

After saying that, the two left the mourning hall without paying any attention to the original owner's reaction.

The original owner couldn't understand what Liu Ruyan meant. When had she ever called Qin Shou a jinx? And hadn't the Qi family treated Qin Shou well all these years? They treated him like the second young master of the Qi family, supporting his studies and providing for his food and drink. What more did they want from him? Did they expect them to treat Qin Shou like royalty?

During the three-year mourning period, the original owner of the body remained secluded in his residence. It wasn't that he didn't want to go out, but rather that Liu Ruyan had people take control of the Qi residence. The original owner was unable to enter or leave, and could only survive by eating spoiled food every day.

Even so, the original owner never wanted to commit suicide. She always held a belief that as long as she persevered, the clouds would eventually part and the moon would shine through.

The clouds have not parted, and the moon is not visible.

On the last day of mourning, the original owner was given poison and his death was faked as a sudden stroke, making him the object of everyone's scorn.

"Cousin, where are we going?" Qin Shou followed Qi Yuan, turning east and west. At first, he remembered the way home, but as Qi Yuan walked faster and faster and the turns became more and more numerous, Qin Shou began to panic.

"I'll sell you." Those cold, calm words sent a chill down Qin Shou's spine.

"Cousin, I'm not here to take Aunt away from you, really, please don't sell me, I'll be good, please." Qin Shou was already incoherent, large beads of sweat slid down his forehead, his face was pale, and his lips were trembling.

"I was just kidding. I'm just showing you around so you won't get lost and have to bother my servants."

"Really? Cousin, you really won't abandon me?" Qin Shou tried to grab Qi Yuan's sleeve, but Qi Yuan dodged him. Qin Shou quickly jogged a few steps to catch up with Qi Yuan, afraid that he would be left behind by Qi Yuan if he wasn't careful.

Half an hour later, Qin Shou finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the plaque of the Qi family mansion in the distance, but he did not stop walking.

"Escort Young Master Qin back to his room." Qi Yuan's physical condition was far superior to Qin Shou's; he was neither red-faced nor out of breath, a stark contrast to Qin Shou, who lay beside him like a stranded fish.

Perhaps because he had returned to the Qi residence, Qin Shou felt that Qi Yuan no longer had the chance to get rid of him. Without even saying goodbye, Qin Shou followed the servant into the Qi residence.

"This... is the room my aunt prepared for me?" Qin Shou's eyes lit up when he first saw the courtyard. He had glanced at Qi Yuan's courtyard when he passed by it earlier, and his own courtyard was almost identical to Qi Yuan's. It seemed that his aunt truly cared for him.

But when Qin Shou entered the house and saw the furnishings and layout that resembled a straw hut, he felt that the Qi family members were all hypocrites. They talked a good game, but in reality, they wouldn't even give him a bed.

"Yes, young master." The servant nodded in agreement, lowering his head slightly from an angle where Qin Shou couldn't see, concealing the barely suppressed glint of hatred in his eyes and the smile on his lips.

"Okay, I understand. You can go now." Qin Shou had no words to express his suffering. Now that he was living under someone else's roof, he didn't dare to tell his aunt, since he didn't know if it was his aunt who had arranged it this way.

Qin Shou sat on the ground, lost in thought, and suddenly realized that coming to stay with his aunt was not a good decision.

The servants in the courtyard were all specially arranged by Qi Yuan, just like in his previous life. However, in his previous life, these servants truly served Qin Shou wholeheartedly, yet they met such a tragic end. Seeing the immense resentment within the Qi family, Qi Yuan decided to give them a chance, thinking they would serve Qin Shou well and make him experience what it meant to be dependent on others and to suffer in silence.

“Madam, it’s especially hot today. How about I take you to the estate for a few days during my day off?” After dinner, Father Qi kept fanning himself with a fan. It was indeed very hot that day.

"It's perfect that Yuan-ge'er and Shou-ge'er can go to the estate to play..." The couple didn't ask the two children's opinions, but Qi Yuan noticed Qin Shou's eyes full of curiosity and anticipation.

Could it be that he's hoping for a comfortable life on the estate? Don't be naive. With Qi Yuan around, he'll definitely not let Qin Shou grow up properly.

Qin Shou arrived at the estate with great anticipation. He opened the door with high hopes, only to find, unsurprisingly, an empty room with an interior that did not match its exterior at all.

Having slept on a straw bed for a month, Qin Shou had no choice but to go out and look for straw. This place was even worse than the Qi residence; there wasn't even a straw here.

Qin Shou cursed under his breath as he walked into the field. In the distance, he saw Qi Yuan's figure. Seeing that Qi Yuan was alone and had no servants with him, Qin Shou couldn't help but feel curious. He turned his eyes and followed him.

Qin Shou's plan was sound. If he could find some leverage over Qi Yuan, he could probably live a better life in the Qi family. But where would Qi Yuan find any leverage? Even if he did, he could turn the leverage against the other party. Finding leverage over Qi Yuan would be impossible in his next life.

Qi Yuan looked at the miniature version of Liu Ruyan being carried on someone's shoulder in front of him, and realized that a fish had taken the bait behind him. Seeing that the fish was getting closer and closer, Qi Yuan suddenly disappeared into the cornfield. The corn stalks were taller than Qi Yuan and could just block his figure.

In the short time it took Qin Shou to look down, he could no longer see Qi Yuan when he looked up again. Just then, Liu Ruyan, who was being carried on his shoulder, was jolted awake and saw Qin Shou behind her.

"Help! Help me!" Liu Ruyan cried out to Qin Shou, flailing her arms and legs.

"Behave yourself, or I'll kill you!" The man slapped Liu Ruyan on the buttocks. The pampered Liu Ruyan had never been hit like this before. A loud "Ouch!" rang out, followed by a string of curses.

Qin Shou was so frightened by the scene that he lost the ability to think and stood there dumbfounded.

"Help me! Quickly find someone to help me!" Liu Ruyan had been a princess since birth, and she was used to giving orders when she spoke to people. This reminded the man that there was someone behind him.

"Hey, there's another one. This trip was really profitable!" The man turned around and saw Qin Shou not far away. He carried Liu Ruyan and walked towards Qin Shou.

Seeing the man getting closer and closer, Qin Shou finally reacted, turned around and ran away.

But how could Qin Shou's short legs outrun the man's long legs? After running only a few steps, Qin Shou was lifted up by the big man. When he was lifted up, Qin Shou kept flailing his arms and legs, looking like a tortoise in mid-air.

Qin Shou and Liu Ruyan were carried on the man's shoulders, one on each side. Liu Ruyan looked at Qin Shou with a look of disgust.

"Idiot! I told you to go call for help, why didn't you go! Are you scared out of your wits?!... Damn it!" Despite her young age, Liu Ruyan's words were increasingly vulgar. At this moment, Qin Shou had no time to deal with Liu Ruyan. No matter how bad the Qi family was, they still had bloodlines and wouldn't kill him. If he were taken away by the beggars, his future life would be unimaginable.

Qin Shou finally realized the danger, and his little brain started working frantically.

Liu Ruyan cursed for a long time but Qin Shou didn't react at all, so she got even angrier, grabbed Qin Shou's arm and bit him hard.

"Ah!" Qin Shou screamed as he was bitten. He tried to push Liu Ruyan away with his other hand, but he couldn't reach her no matter what. He could only watch as Liu Ruyan bit his arm until it bled, until he lost consciousness.

"Serves you right for ignoring me!"

Upon hearing Liu Ruyan's words, Qin Shou's eyes were filled with hatred as he looked at her. Suddenly, drawing strength from somewhere, he shoved himself towards Liu Ruyan. The man lost his balance and fell. Because the weight was concentrated on Liu Ruyan's side, she was the one at the bottom, followed by the man, and finally Qin Shou.

The man hit his head and was dizzy. Qin Shou, who was completely unharmed, got up and was about to run away when Liu Ruyan's voice came from behind him.

"Take me with you!" It was still a command.

Qin Shou didn't even stop, he took off running, leaving Liu Ruyan, whose legs were pinned down by the man and unable to escape, cursing loudly.

In the evening, Qi Yuan was enjoying a bowl of iced food in his courtyard when a servant came to report that Qin Shou had returned in a disheveled state. He did not disturb anyone.
