Quick Transmigration: Refusing to Be a Victim's Child

Seeing his panicked and disorganized state, Shao Linshen knew that he must have verified the information and was still clinging to a sliver of hope.

He sighed, grabbed his uncle who was still trying to pull him onto the carriage, and said solemnly:

"Now that things have come to this, does Uncle still refuse to believe it?"

"No, it's not that your uncle doesn't believe you, it's just... it's just that your uncle really can't believe you."

Chen Da looked bitter, sweat dripping down his forehead. When he raised his hand to wipe it, he realized that even his hand was trembling.

He gripped Shao Linshen's wrist tightly, seemingly confirming something, or perhaps talking to himself:

"Lin Shen, are you sure you're not mistaken? Maybe, maybe things aren't as bad as they seem..."

"uncle!"

Shao Linshen directly interrupted his self-deceiving behavior, his brows furrowed:

"Now is not the time for you to be cowardly. Your maternal grandparents are probably waiting for you at home. Uncle, you should go back first."

Chen Da was taken aback by what he was told, but he regained some of his composure. Looking at his nephew, who was even younger than his son, he rubbed his hands together with some shame and repeatedly said yes.

Finally, he remembered seeing Shao Linshen coming from the yamen, and asked him if he needed any help.

"It's just changing Quanfu and the others' household registration to good ones; it's not a big deal."

Shao Linshen didn't hide anything and pointed to the two attendants still following behind, who immediately showed their tearful expressions of gratitude.

Chen Da gave his nephew a complicated look and said, "You are kind-hearted."

“They have been with me since childhood and have been loyal for more than ten years. As their master and servant, this is what they deserve.”

Shao Linshen didn't want to waste time here, but then remembered that the Chen family had many shops in the capital, and asked them how to deal with them.

“This is not the place to talk. Let’s go home and discuss this in detail.”

Chen Da glanced at the still bustling streets and considered taking his nephew back to the Chen residence.

But as soon as he made his move, Shao Linshen shook his head and refused, saying that the current situation was uncertain, and if someone saw him and connected it to the Chen family's business transfer, it would be troublesome if someone with ulterior motives became suspicious.

Chen Da slapped his forehead, saying he had been out of his mind and hadn't thought of that, then answered the previous question, saying:

"Your maternal grandfather instructed that the estates and shops in the capital should be put on hold for now, and dealt with after things have settled down."

The uncle and nephew avoided the crowd and talked quietly around a corner.

Recalling his nephew's expression earlier, Chen Da had a sudden thought and couldn't help but ask if there was anything he could help with.

No wonder they've built such a large business; their ability to read people is truly remarkable.

Shao Lin was deeply impressed and, without any hesitation, simply nodded.

"Nephew, there is something I need your help with, Uncle."

After saying that, Shao Lin leaned closer and whispered in Chen Da's ear about wanting the Chen family to help bribe the jailers.

"A local official is more powerful than a county magistrate. Sometimes those petty people are more troublesome. It's not a big deal for a man to suffer a little when he's in the deepest part of the city, but I'm afraid my concubine will suffer along with him."

“Uncle doesn’t need to bribe everyone. Just pick a few important people to avoid leaks,” Shao Linshen emphasized in a low voice.

"This, this... how could it have come to this?!" Chen Da exclaimed in astonishment.

During their discussions last night, they assumed that the Shao family would at most be stripped of their titles and demoted to commoners.

Judging from my nephew's tone, it sounds like the entire Hou family is going to be imprisoned and brought to justice!

Chen Da leaned against the wall, his legs feeling weak, and dared not think any further. He could only manage a weak smile at his nephew, promising that he would definitely take care of it for him.

"Thank you, Uncle." Shao Linshen bowed and clasped his hands in thanks.

True friendship is revealed in times of adversity. The Chen family's willingness to take the risk and agree to this was an act of utmost kindness and righteousness.

Chen Da lifted the man up, patted Shao Linshen on the shoulder, and told him to take good care of his aunt before walking wearily toward his own carriage.

After watching the people walk away, Shao Linshen led his two attendants to the pharmacy to buy some pills for emergency use. As for the rest of the food and clothing, he still had quite a lot stored in his space, which was barely enough. There was no need to attract attention everywhere now.

"Um, Brother Shen, why don't you prepare more? It's always better to be prepared."

The voice of Pangu Banner rang in my mind, its tone revealing an indescribable guilty conscience.

Shao Linshen paused in his step, then continued walking forward, narrowing his eyes and thinking to himself with annoyance:

"Tell me, is there something you're hiding from me again?"

"How can it be."

Pangu Banner's voice suddenly rose in pitch, then weakened as he said:

"I just found out myself, okay? I really didn't mean to hide it from you. Um, Brother Shen, I have some bad news and some even worse news. Which do you want to hear first?"

"I want to hear good news." Shao Linshen didn't want to choose either option.

"Uh, then I'll just tell you everything."

Pangu Banner spoke at lightning speed:

"We can't use the resources from our previous world. If you want to have a good life on your journey in exile, you'll have to collect resources again."

And that time-traveling woman just acquired another treasure—the fake one you used to impersonate the jade pendant.

"That thing has now developed sentience and even a supernatural ability: to take anything from others through transactions, including but not limited to luck, lifespan, and health."

"For example, if its host gives something of its own to someone else, and the other party accepts it without returning anything of higher value than the item itself."

The host would then demand ten times the amount in compensation, and could arbitrarily choose something from the victim.

Upon hearing this, Shao Linshen was utterly speechless.

"So, no matter what I do, I'm still forced to be a treasure-delivering boy in the end, right?"

He had checked the burial objects beforehand and found that they had no other function. But once they were in the other party's hands, they became treasures.

If it weren't for the Heavenly Dao's meddling, Shao Linshen would have twisted his head off and used it as a football.

“Brother Shen, didn’t I say before that the Heavenly Dao of this world is just a ‘fun person’?”

He probably saw that you were too strong, and the transmigrated woman didn't have much to rely on, so he thought of balancing things out between you two.

The voice of Pangu Banner was full of helplessness.

Shao Linshen was at a loss for words. "Isn't this just pure madness? What benefit could He possibly gain from doing this?"

Oh, so that woman is allowed to bully people, but people aren't allowed to fight back? We might as well just kill them right now.

What kind of bullshit Heavenly Way is this? Do you even have a brain?

Okay, okay, you insist on playing it this way, then he won't be polite.

Shao Linshen cursed inwardly, but had to put on a smiling face. After buying the medicinal herbs, he also stopped by the grain shop and ordered a lot of grain, ostensibly to send to the orphanage as a charity.

Then, he took the opportunity to smuggle a few bags of grain into his spatial storage, and instructed his attendants to prepare a table of dishes at a restaurant and send it to the Marquis's residence, saying that he wanted to treat himself.

After busying himself for half a day, Shao Linshen instructed Quanlu to take the remaining grain to the orphanage, and then got into the Marquis's carriage to return home.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the Marquis's mansion, he saw Granny Gui, who was by Aunt Chen's side, standing by waiting for him. She said that his mother had just fainted for no reason and was now unconscious.
