Quick Transmigration: Refusing to Be a Victim's Child

She watched as her lover was beaten to death on the spot, turning into a pile of rotten flesh in the blink of an eye.

Fanglan was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. Her excuse of having a stomachache had actually come true.

However, a maid noticed a large patch of bright red stain on the hem of her dress, which also stained the bluestone slab beside her legs with a layer of blood.

Now that things have come to this, no one dares to speak well of this "Aunt Lan" anymore.

Especially the maids serving the other party, now they wish they could sever all ties with the woman, and they all kneel on the ground and kowtow repeatedly.

Shao Linshen watched quietly. Seeing Quanlu lead the brokerage's matriarch in, he pointed to the servants kneeling on the ground and said:

"Regardless of the price, these disloyal lackeys of yours, you've given me a drug to make me mute, sell them to some remote mountain village, the poorer and more remote the better."

"As for this woman."

Shao Linshen used the tip of his shoe to lift Fanglan's chin and grinned, saying:

"Since she can't live without men, why not send her to a dark alley and let her serve men at her own discretion from now on?"

Upon hearing this, Fanglan's beautiful face turned deathly pale, and her tears and snot became a mess, making her look utterly disgusting.

The matchmaker had seen it all; seeing that this woman was quite attractive, she was secretly pleased. But then, her eyes darted around, and she feigned difficulty on her face:

"Sir, please forgive me, it's not that I don't want to buy, but... this gentleman's health probably needs some rest before he can be sold. Seeing the old doctor and buying medicine is quite expensive. If you want..."

"One penny."

Shao Linshen was too lazy to argue with her, and only said coldly:

"Once she's out of this door, you can do whatever you want with her, but as long as she's still alive, you can't let her be redeemed. She'll have to stay in this alley for the rest of her life."

The matchmaker was overjoyed to get a free item, but it was a pity that the woman's good looks couldn't be used to make big money in a brothel.

The dark alley was no more comfortable than the brothel; it was frequented by poor, low-class men who couldn't earn much money.

The matchmaker shook her head regretfully, but her hands moved quickly. She swiftly signed the documents, took the indentures of the women, and watched as the servants stripped off their outer garments and jewelry. She waited happily by the side until it was all over before leading the women away.

Inside Taoran Courtyard, everyone was trembling with fear, terrified that their master would turn on them and betray them as well.

Shao Linshen had no time to care what they were thinking.

The reason Fanglan was sold off just now was because, in her "memory," this woman not only cuckolded the original owner, but also stole the indenture and a lot of valuables during the house raid, and lived happily with her lover.

Finally, seeing that Shao Linshen had been exiled, he even went out of his way to mock him, as if he was afraid that Shao Linshen wouldn't die. He secretly slipped silver to the escorting guards, asking them to "take good care" of him on the way.

If the Chen family hadn't spent a fortune, the original owner might have died on the way to the border.

But for a man, this is also quite shameful.

Not to mention that his wife divorced him and returned home, while he and his two daughters were exiled all the way.

In contrast, the transmigrated woman, three months pregnant, remained devoted to her elder brother, making the original owner seem even more pathetic.

Thinking of this, Shao Linshen simply stood up and, before Chu Miaoyi could react, told her to take her two daughters back to her parents' home for a while.

"Today, because of the money, I have offended my mother quite a bit. Knowing her nature, I'm afraid she won't let it go easily."

You should go back to your parents' home and hide there for a while. Come back when your husband has calmed down, so you won't be implicated by me.

Chu Miaoyi rarely saw her husband talk to her so much, and even think about her. She stared at him in surprise.

Shao Linshen touched his face awkwardly. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's nothing. I just felt that you were very different from usual today, and I didn't realize it for a moment."

She was always straightforward and didn't know how to flatter or be charming. She was plain-looking and had a dull personality, so this man had never liked her.

If the man's figure and appearance hadn't remained unchanged, Chu Miaoyi would have thought he was a different person.

Since this man wanted her to go back to her parents' home, Chu Miaoyi had no masochistic tendencies. Before her mother-in-law summoned her to "attend to her illness," she immediately took her child and prepared to leave the Marquis's mansion by carriage.

Seeing that she was leaving in a hurry, Shao Linshen specially asked Quanfu to prepare a carload of gifts and personally escorted his wife and children to his wife's home.

Perhaps because it was rare to see this son-in-law visit, especially since he brought so many valuable gifts, the Chu family was quite surprised. Some even subconsciously looked up at the sky.

Could it be that the sun rose in the west today?

After all, if it weren't for Xu's suppression, fearing that the original owner would surpass her two sons and deliberately choose this family, the original owner would never have married Chu Miaoyi.

After all, even if the original owner was a son of a concubine in a marquis's mansion, he was still a legitimate nobleman. In contrast, only Chu's father was an official in the court, and he was only a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Works.

As for the original owner's brother-in-law, he took the exam for more than ten years, but in the end, he was still only a Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial-level imperial examination).

Therefore, although the original couple did not hate each other, they were "respectful to each other but cold to each other".

Before parting, Shao Linshen specially pulled his wife aside to talk.

Seeing that the servants around him were far away, he took out a palm-sized brocade box from his sleeve and handed it to them.

"What is this?"

Chu Miaoyi took the box with a puzzled look, but then noticed that it was still secured with a brass lock. She looked up at her husband.

"During this time, you can stay at your parents' home in peace. I will have the servants pack up all the clothes and belongings that you and the children use and send them to you."

Shao Linshen explained one by one: "Keep this brocade box here for now. I will have Quanfu bring you the key in a few days. When you open it, you will know how to handle the contents."

"Why are you being so mysterious?"

Chu Miaoyi looked at her husband, feeling inexplicably uneasy. A thought struck her, and she tentatively asked:

"I'm only staying at my parents' house for a few days, and I'm just bringing a few changes of clothes. Why are you making such a fuss? Anyone who doesn't know better would think we're moving!"

"Don't overthink it. I just want you to be more comfortable here."

Shao Linshen would naturally not admit it now. He simply patted the back of her hand, told her to take good care of the two children, and then bid farewell to Chu's father and left.

*

After settling his wife and children, Shao Linshen rushed back to the Marquis's residence without stopping.

After all, his aunt went to the temple to burn incense this morning and probably doesn't know what happened at home. Xu Shi has a deep grudge against him and might take revenge on his aunt.

as predicted,

As soon as Shao Linshen entered the mansion, he heard from the servants who had stayed at home that the young master's wife was suddenly pregnant. The young master's wife ordered Aunt Chen to go to the Buddhist hall to copy scriptures to pray for the baby in the young master's wife's womb. She was not allowed to return to the courtyard to rest that night.

"She certainly knows how to cause trouble."

Shao Lin snorted coldly, turning his head to look at Quan Lu and said:

"Didn't my father lead men to arrest my second brother? Didn't he break his legs?"

Old Deng had been shouting and threatening to kill, wishing he could drag his second son back and beat him up, but now his anger had completely dissipated.

You should know that in the "memory", the original owner was wrongly accused of stealing property, and he was seriously beaten with twenty lashes. His buttocks were almost bruised and battered. When he was imprisoned, he had to be carried away.

If it weren't for some good fortune, the original owner of this body would probably have died in prison long ago.

Quanlu bowed, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"After the Marquis caught the Second Young Master, he wanted to beat him, but before he could even land a few blows, the Heir Apparent's wife fainted from fright. After seeing the doctor, they learned that she was already three months pregnant."

Shao Linshen stopped in his tracks. "And then? That was the end of it?"
