Quick Transmigration: Refusing to Be a Victim's Child

Madam Tang didn't care what the old man thought of her.

Ever since this man repeatedly confined her to the main courtyard and promoted the concubine and illegitimate daughter to manage the household, she has long lost all face and dignity.

Seeing that Mr. Tang was beginning to compromise, Mrs. Tang finally pulled the scissors out of her chest. Fortunately, she had used the right amount of force, so the wound wasn't very deep.

While tightly pressing a handkerchief against the wound to stop the bleeding, Madam Tang whispered to her husband:

"Since you're marrying off your daughter anyway, why don't you marry your illegitimate daughter to Liu Jia, and as for that Xiao Sijie, just let Yi'er marry him there?"

In this way, the established order will not be disrupted, and outsiders will laugh at our Tang family for failing to distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate children, allowing an illegitimate daughter to rise above the legitimate daughter.

"Hmph! Do you think I don't want to? But it was the General's wife who acted as matchmaker. They specifically asked Xuezhi to marry into their family. What can I do?"

The atmosphere inside the room was no longer tense, and Tang's father took the opportunity to "forget" the unpleasantness from before, instead saying indignantly:

"You call it a life-saving grace? I was just trying to help Yi'er marry into a good family, it was just a small favor, but that woman just wouldn't agree."

Seeing that the old man seemed to be relenting, Madam Tang's eyes darted around, and she seized the opportunity to sow discord, saying:

"The general's wife and we have never had any relationship, but she would never have given us a hard time in the past. Now that she is looking at us so badly, someone must have said something to her."

Upon hearing this, Tang's father subconsciously looked southwest, which was the direction of Tang Xuezhi's courtyard.

Seeing that he had taken the bait, Madam Tang advised:

"Since they're getting married on the same day anyway, why can't we switch the wedding arrangements? Once they're both in the bridal chamber, it's a done deal. We can just say there was a mistake and the bride was sent to the wrong sedan chair."

"Besides, Xiao Jian... Xue Zhi has caught the eye of the General's wife. Even if she marries into the Liu family, she will still have the General's Mansion to take care of her, so her life won't be too bad."

But it's different for Ke Yi'er. Only my husband and I are protecting her. You have to consider her feelings more, right?

"Furthermore, Xuezhi is a scheming girl, unlike Yi'er who is pure and kind. No matter how high that girl climbs, I'm afraid the master won't benefit from it."

Upon hearing this, Tang's father did not speak, but merely snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeve.

But his silence was already a tacit agreement, and Madam Tang breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did she feel the pain in her chest. Looking at the handkerchief in her hand that was soaked with blood, she quickly called a maid to come in and apply medicine to her.

……

Madam Tang thought that she had gone to great lengths to arrange a marriage for her daughter, and that her daughter would be happy to know this. However, the other party still made a fuss, insisting that she wanted to marry that poor scholar.

Enraged, Madam Tang slapped the other woman across the face, her heart turning cold as she said:

"Your father has already made up his mind. You either marry into the Liu family or the Xiao family. There is no other way to choose."

Seeing her daughter's suicidal state, she simply ordered a maid to fetch a pair of scissors and threw them on the ground, hardening her heart:

"This is all I can do for you. If you really don't listen and insist on dying, the things are right here. Just end it yourself. There's no need to tell us."

As she spoke, she had her maid help her out of the room and ordered the door to be locked again.

the other side.

Half an hour ago.

As soon as the general's wife and her entourage came out of the Tang residence, they noticed a luxuriously decorated carriage parked next to their own.

On the carriage shaft, a man wearing a straw hat, with a fierce face and a knife scar, was sitting sideways.

The general's wife unconsciously glanced at the other person's face a few more times, her brows furrowing slightly. She felt as if she had seen this person somewhere before.

The scarred man noticed someone staring at him, so he immediately lowered his head and raised his hand to press down his straw hat to cover half of his face.

"mother!"

Just then, a clear, youthful voice came from afar.

The general's wife looked up when she heard the sound and saw her son walking up to her with a bandage on his head.

She said unhappily, "What are you doing out here instead of resting at home?"

As she spoke, she subconsciously looked behind her son and saw that apart from the two attendants who were usually by his side, there was no one else there. She felt a little relieved.

Recently, because of the Tang family girl's matter, his mother-in-law has a lot of opinions about him. If she finds out that Mingye is not lying in bed but came out to pick him up, he will probably be scolded again.

Qi Mingye, who had already reached his mother, chuckled and quickly took her arm, saying as they walked towards the carriage:

"I heard from the servants that things have been quite chaotic outside lately. I was worried that some fool might offend you, so I came out specifically to protect you."

"Hmph, you're so glib, all you know is how to please your mother."

The general's wife glared at her son, but secretly she was quite pleased.

Little did they know that Qi Mingye came out today because he heard that his mother had come to the Tang family and was afraid that Tang Xuezhi would use tricks to deceive his mother again, so he came to keep watch.

Secondly, it was because they heard from their attendants that they had seen the people they had drawn on paper in the city.

Those portraits were based on the images Qi Mingye "saw" in the lake that day, depicting the faces of some villains he encountered while transporting grain for his father and brothers in the Northern Territory in his "previous life."

And in those images...

He accidentally married the eldest daughter of the Tang family.

He had only meant well to save someone, but the other party ended up blaming him instead. You can imagine how terrible Qi Mingye must have felt at that moment.

Unfortunately, this Tang family girl was not only willful and capricious, but also simple-minded and prone to causing trouble.

On the second day after entering the family, the other party got into an argument with the two aunts during the tea ceremony. After being scolded, he did not repent and even got into a fight with several of his cousins.

In just ten days, it felt like ten years had passed for Qi Mingye. Unable to bear it any longer, he simply chose to hide outside.

He happened to be assigned a task to transport grain with his second uncle and others, and planned to seek refuge with his father and brothers who were guarding the border in the north.

Unexpectedly, halfway through their journey, they were suddenly caught in a torrential downpour, which also caused mud dragons to move through the mountains, forcing the grain transport team to be stuck halfway.

Unfortunately, they encountered a band of mountain bandits who were robbing their grain. During the fight, Qi Mingye was shot in the chest by a stray arrow and was in critical condition. In the end, he did not survive and passed away.

Even after sending troops to search several nearby mountains and forests, those bandits vanished without a trace, just like his mother had done back then, appearing and disappearing like ghosts.

It's quite a coincidence that this kind of thing happened to the mother and son.

But some things happen too coincidentally, which makes them seem deliberate.

Upon hearing the man's report that he had encountered one of the people in the portrait somewhere, Qi Mingye immediately led his entourage out of the mansion to investigate.

Fortunately, after waiting for half an hour near that street, they actually ran into one of the people in the portrait.

Qi Mingye followed the person and saw him wander around several shops for a while before turning and twisting his way into a secluded alley. Then, the person jumped over a wall and entered the house, never to come out again.

Qi Mingye waited for a while, and seeing that there was no other movement, he sent a follower to inquire about the owner of the house, while he himself went to the Tang family to escort his mother back to the General's Mansion.

Now that the "thugs" from his previous life have appeared, he is worried about leaving his mother alone outside.

……

In the empty alley, only the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves could be heard.

A cat's head peeked out from above the wall, looking around furtively like a thief, before finally meowing after a while:

"Brother Shen, you can come out now, they've all left."

Upon hearing this, Shao Linshen climbed out from inside the wall again, his appearance constantly changing.

One moment he's the lean, scholarly figure he once was, and the next he's a burly, middle-aged man with bulging eyes, whites on his forehead, and a face full of fat.

He glanced in the direction of the alley entrance, then reverted to his scholarly demeanor, walking slowly home with his hands behind his back.
