Quick Transmigration: Refusing to Be a Victim's Child

Granny Wang and the others were being forcibly dragged away. The old lady, frantic with worry, disregarded her sprained ankle and lunged forward to help them, screaming at the top of her lungs:

"How dare you!"

"Anyone who wants to take them away today, have the guts to step over this old body of mine first!"

The roar was so loud that it almost broke the voice, attracting the attention of not only those who were preparing to go up the mountain to worship Buddha, but also many street vendors and laborers who all turned to look at them.

The old lady coughed violently, realizing that everyone had seen her outburst, and her face turned pale and then flushed instantly.

At this moment, she couldn't care less about arguing with that unfilial son. Taking a breath, she glared at him angrily and hurriedly said:

“I have always taken care of the servants in Shouan Hall myself, so there’s no need for you to pretend to be a good person here.”

If you truly wanted me to live a few more years, you shouldn't have stopped your brother from returning to the Marquis's mansion.

Having said that, the old lady had no mind to send someone to look for her grandson, fearing that the unfilial son would betray her confidants while she wasn't paying attention, and then she would truly be all alone.

At that moment, the old lady reached out and grabbed her second son, rushing towards the carriage she had come in.

Wang Mama and the others, protected by their master, were still shaken.

They saw that the Marquis was just standing aside with his entourage, watching coldly, and they breathed a slight sigh of relief, but they also vaguely felt that something was not quite right.

It wasn't until the carriage ahead couldn't fit all the maids and servants, and the coachman ushered them into the young lady's carriage, that they suddenly remembered that the young lady and her entourage were still at the temple and hadn't returned yet.

As the wheels slowly began to turn, a young maidservant inside the carriage spoke nervously:

"Granny, should we tell..."

"Shh!"

Granny Wang quickly covered the other woman's mouth, staring at her sharply, and warned in a low voice:

"If you don't want to be sold, keep your mouth shut and remember what you should and shouldn't say."

As soon as they finished speaking, the curtain on one side was gently lifted by the wind, revealing a carriage heading in the opposite direction from them.

Now, Wang Mama's heart, which had just settled down, jumped up again.

She hurriedly pulled back the curtain and climbed out of the carriage, only to be shocked to find that the carriage beneath her was speeding away from the capital.

Granny Wang glared at the coachman and demanded:

"What are you doing? Didn't you hear the old lady tell us to go back to the Marquis's residence? How dare you take us away without my permission? Aren't you afraid that the old lady will punish you if she finds out?"

"You murderous wretch, stop right now!!!" Granny Wang was so angry that she wanted to snatch the reins away.

But as she watched the carriage speed up and faster, with the scenery on both sides rushing by like flowing water, Wang Mama and the others were immediately terrified and dared not rashly try to snatch the reins from the coachman's hands.

Seeing that everyone had calmed down, the coachman coldly said:

"The Marquis has decreed that, in consideration of your many years of service to the old lady, you are hereby granted permission to be freed from your slave status and go to Qingzhou to enjoy your old age."

……

"What did you say! Qingzhou? You're trying to kill them!"

As soon as the old lady returned to the gate of the Marquis's residence, she was shocked to find that the carriage that had been following behind her had disappeared without a trace.

After making some inquiries, they learned that Granny Wang and the others had actually been sent to Qingzhou.

Having suffered repeated physical and mental trauma, the old lady could no longer control herself. She coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted instantly.

"mother!"

Shao Zhili was shocked. He hadn't even safely stepped into the Marquis's residence yet, how could his mother faint at this critical juncture?

Shao Zhili staggered to the old lady's side, and was about to wake her up when he was whipped hard on the back of his hand before he could even touch her.

"Snapped--"

"what!"

Shao Zhili winced and withdrew his hand. Looking up, he saw that his "good older brother" had already ridden up to him at some point.

At that moment, when Shao Linshen saw him looking over, he waved the hand holding the riding whip behind him, and immediately guards stepped forward to tie Shao Zhili's hands and feet, stuff a handkerchief in his mouth, and carry him on their shoulders.

"Um-"

Shao Zhili struggled desperately, glaring angrily at his opponent, but only received a few slaps on the face from Shao Linshen with his riding whip, followed by a cold laugh:

"Hey, second brother, why don't you ever learn your lesson? I've already let you off the hook, and you're still determined to sneak into the Marquis's mansion."

What, you think you have no other skills to survive in this life besides relying on your parents and women?

Could it be that you obtained your academic credentials through cheating? Otherwise, how could you be so useless?!

Shao Linshen spoke with deep sorrow and frustration, looking utterly disappointed in Shao Zhili. He then raised his hand and slapped Shao Zhili across the face again, sighing as he said:

"Fine, since you're so useless, I, as your older brother... can't just stand by and watch you continue down this path of absurdity."

Haven't you been longing to go to the Seventh Princess's residence to apologize to Prince Ruihe? Well, I have a way for you to stay by His Highness's side more often.

"Remember this well: once you arrive at the princess's residence, serve Her Highness diligently and don't be fickle or keep thinking about other men's wives."

After saying this, Shao Linshen signaled to the guards to take the person away.

As they parted, Shao Zhili looked suspicious. They had a history of hatred over the theft of his wife, so how could the other party be so kind to him, given how much he disliked him?

But looking at the direction the carriage was traveling, it didn't seem fake...

At this moment, inside the main hall of the Marquis's residence.

Shao Linshen instantly dropped his previous demeanor and respectfully bowed to a waiting eunuch, saying:

"I apologize for keeping you waiting, Your Majesty. Please tell His Majesty that His Majesty can rest assured that Princess Ruihe's 'illness' will be cured without any medicine within three months, and the princess will also be willing to choose a new consort."

The eavesdropper was overjoyed to hear this.

Recently, His Majesty and the Empress have been having a lot of headaches because of Princess Ruihe.

Although this princess had lost a consort before, given how favored she is, she has no trouble finding another consort.

But no one knows why this Seventh Prince is so obsessed with Shao Zhili. Even though the Empress sent two palace maids to watch over the Princess's residence, they couldn't stop the prince from searching for him.

The more the Seventh Prince acted this way, the more His Majesty and the Empress felt disgusted with the former "third-place scholar".

If it weren't for the sake of the newly appointed Marquis of Jingyuan, Shao Zhili would probably have died countless times over.

Now that Marquis Jingyuan had personally made the promise, the eunuch was unwilling to delve into the reasons behind it. He simply accepted the purse offered by the other party and then got up to return to the palace to report.

Shao Linshen watched the other person's departing figure, the smile on his face vanishing instantly. He turned to his attendant and instructed him:

"Tell the knife maker to be quick and efficient. We're brothers, after all. Don't let my foolish brother lose his life because of a boil before he even enters the princess's residence."

After all, those two were husband and wife in their previous life, so they should be allowed to try getting along again. Maybe they can even spark a romance?

There's a saying that love knows no age or gender.

Sometimes, external things aren't that important. After all, didn't that prince in his previous life also live a life without children? It's not that different.
