Quick Transmigration: Refusing to Be a Victim's Child

The young apprentice was busy with his work when a silver ingot was suddenly slipped into his hand. A look of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he hurriedly hid the silver in his sleeve.

He glanced around to make sure no one was watching, then coughed lightly and led Shao Zhili to a secluded spot, lowering his voice to say:

"This matter should not be known to others, but I think you look kind, so it may be alright to talk about it."

The apprentice doctor uttered a polite remark, immediately revealing the truth:

"The old woman just now came to buy medicine for her daughter-in-law. She said that her daughter-in-law had been married into her husband's family for more than three years, but had not given birth to a son or daughter."

The old woman was anxious, which is why she asked the doctor to prescribe some fertility-enhancing medicine for her daughter-in-law. However, I suspect there's something fishy going on here…”

The young apprentice stopped speaking halfway through his sentence, his small eyes fixed on the money pouch tied to Shao Zhili's waist.

A look of disgust flashed in Shao Zhili's eyes, and he said coldly:

"But what? Explain yourself clearly, and you'll naturally reap the rewards."

After saying that, he threw another piece of silver over.

The young apprentice accepted the medicine with both hands, immediately recognizing its effectiveness and agreeing repeatedly.

"However, I also know a little about basic medical principles. The prescription that the old woman asked the doctor to write was clearly a medicine to prevent miscarriage for older women."

In my opinion, the reason she was getting medicine for her daughter-in-law was a pretense. The real reason was that she was pregnant at her age and was afraid of being gossiped about, so she pretended to hide it.

Otherwise, why would she have gotten a prescription for an abortion right after receiving the medication to prevent miscarriage? That's just pointless—completely unnecessary.

The young apprentice was swearing, which sounded particularly offensive to Shao Zhili, but when he heard the content of the other person's words, his face instantly turned ugly.

"So that's how it is..."

No wonder his mother had promised to take him back to the Marquis's mansion and find her son, but afterwards she stopped caring about him.

Perhaps after she fainted at the entrance of the Marquis's mansion last time, the doctor discovered she was pregnant, and she had other thoughts in her mind, forgetting about her second son who was all alone away from home.

Perhaps, during their last trip to Ci'en Temple, that old woman conspired with the eldest brother to deliberately trap them.

After all, wasn't that old hag just a person who only cared about profit?

When everyone learned that the eldest brother had disappeared and died, the old woman placed her hopes on him. Now that she felt useless, she switched to trying to please the eldest brother.

From beginning to end, the person loved herself the most:

The eldest son was straightforward and unlikable from a young age, while the younger sister was spoiled and willful, causing worry. Only he himself was gentle, filial, and obedient, which is why he had won her favor the most since childhood.

Shao Zhili clenched his teeth, suppressing the violent rage rising in his heart, and managed to keep from going crazy on the spot.

He hated Shaolin for being heartless and cruel, turning his own brother against him for the sake of a woman; he hated Princess Ruihe for being willful and capricious, treating human life as worthless; he also hated his younger sister for standing by indifferently... but he hated his parents even more.

If they hadn't always indulged him, how could he have been so reckless as to have an affair with his sister-in-law?

If they had stopped him and the Jiang family in time, he would still be a close advisor to the emperor, with a bright future ahead of him.

It's all their fault; they've ruined themselves!

Shao Zhili's eyes were bloodshot. He looked up at the gloomy and oppressive sky, took a deep breath, and then wiped the moisture from his eyes. He suddenly turned his head to look at the young apprentice who was about to leave to do his work.

"Oh! Young...Young Master, is there anything else you need?"

The young apprentice was terrified by his sinister gaze. He instinctively clutched the silver in his arms and slowly backed away, his legs trembling.

Shao Zhili ignored his little tricks, simply unfastened the money pouch at his waist, poured out all the gleaming silver inside, and stared at the medicine boy, saying:

"Go and gather some beggars and hooligans from the city. Once you've done it, all this silver is yours."

"Huh? As long as I call the person here, all this silver will be mine? You...you're not just making fun of me, are you?"

Upon hearing this, the young apprentice's eyes lit up instantly, his gaze almost glued to the pile of silver in Shao Zhili's hand, unable to look away.

"If you don't want to, then forget it!"

Shao Zhili's face darkened, and he made a move to put the silver away.

Seeing this, the young apprentice quickly reached out to stop him:

"No, no, no, I'm willing. I'll go and find the person for you right away. Please wait a moment."

With this money, he no longer needed to work at the pharmacy, and he no longer cared about his current job.

At that moment, the young apprentice rolled up his sleeves, ignored the shouts from the other people in the pharmacy, and ran out without looking back...

-

Time flies, and several days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Recently, Shao Mingzhu has been forced to kneel in the ancestral hall and copy "Women's Virtues" and "Women's Admonitions" by the old Marquis, and has not left the Marquis's mansion for a long time.

With the flower-viewing banquet to be held at the Marquis of Anyuan's residence the day after tomorrow, Shao Mingzhu was finally able to take her maid out for some fresh air and to see if there were any new and fashionable jewelry options.

Strangely, as she walked along, she felt like people were whispering behind her back, as if they were all laughing at her. Those gazes felt like needles pricking her.

Especially the ladies and young women who were also selecting jewelry at Zhenfang Pavilion, who had been fawning over her just a few days ago, now seemed to be avoiding her like the plague.

This infuriated Shao Mingzhu, who immediately smashed the jade bracelet in her hand on the ground.

She glared at the young ladies, her eyes wide with anger, and raised her voice:

"Why are you hiding? What, am I, a daughter of a noble family, not worthy to stand with you?"

Or perhaps you simply look down on the Jingyuan Marquis's residence?

The ladies and young women were so frightened by Shao Mingzhu's sudden action that their faces turned pale, and some of the more timid ones even subconsciously took a few steps back.

One of the ladies, dressed in a light pink ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), bit her lip slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly:

"Miss Shao, please don't make things difficult for us. We only heard about some things, and we wouldn't dare to say them carelessly."

Upon hearing this, Shao Mingzhu became even angrier, strode over to the young lady, and pressed her for answers:

"You heard it? Heard what? If you don't explain yourself clearly today, I won't let you off easily." She put her hands on her hips, looking arrogant and domineering.
