Quick Transmigration: Refusing to Be a Victim's Child

Time flies, and after several days of discussion, the court has issued its verdict on the corruption case.

Apart from the masterminds who were executed and their families wiped out, all the other accomplices were exiled to the frontier.

Upon hearing this news, Marquis Le'an... Shao's father couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief:

"Thank God, I'm just glad I survived."

After being imprisoned for several days and subjected to whippings by the jailers from time to time, the Shao family members had long lost the arrogance they had when they first entered the prison. Now that they were able to save their lives, they were all overjoyed and wept tears of happiness, wishing they could shout to the sky.

Unfortunately, happy times are always short-lived.

The Shao family felt they had escaped death, only to discover that being exiled to the frontier was not much better than being beheaded immediately.

"Snapped!"

"Behave yourselves. Anyone who dares to play tricks will be in for a beating with my whip."

A long whip lashed the prisoner's back, making him bounce up as if he wanted to tear the flesh off the wound.

The previously noisy prisoners immediately quieted down, and one by one they obediently had wooden shackles and leg irons put on them by the guards and were dragged out of the cell.

Outside the prison was an open space.

Among those exiled this time, besides the Shao family, there were also the Xu, Hong, Liu, Zeng, and Wei families.

The Xu and Hong families, like the Shao family, were of noble birth, while the remaining three families were of civil official birth. Because their official positions were not prominent, the sons of noble families like the Shao family looked down on them. Therefore, once they were released from prison, the two groups immediately became clearly distinct.

Shaolin Shen had sharp eyes and immediately spotted Aunt Chen and her two children among a group of women whose feet were bound.

Before the guards could finish organizing the group, he quickly squeezed through and led the three men to the side of the Shao family men.

Seeing Shao Linshen's actions, Xu and the others, forgetting to confide in their own families, also followed behind Aunt Chen.

The other prisoners followed suit and all reunited with their families.

This time, there were more than 300 prisoners being exiled, while there were only 20 guards. If the prisoners hadn't been in shackles, they really wouldn't have been able to stop them.

Therefore, the guards wouldn't make things difficult for everyone over such a small matter. However, for the sake of easier supervision, the prisoners were all tied together with ropes and escorted out of the city gate like strings of candied hawthorns.

*

Ten miles outside the capital, near the pavilion.

From a great distance, Shaolin Shen saw many people carrying bundles standing still and looking around.

As the exiles slowly approached, people consciously stepped aside to clear the path in the middle.

"That's great! It must be my parents. Waaah, it's over 3,000 miles to the frontier. I don't know if I'll ever see them again."

"What's going on? Why haven't I seen any of my family members come?"

"It's Brother Chen and the others. I never expected that I, Wei Yongde, would fall into such a state, yet you gentlemen are still willing to come and see me off."

……

In the exile group, the prisoners were all very excited as they looked at the figures who had been waiting for a long time outside the pavilion.

The Shao family members, however, remained completely silent.

Because both the Shao and Xu families had their property confiscated and were exiled, their families scattered like leaves in the wind. They didn't see many relatives or friends. Occasionally, they would see familiar faces, but they were only servants or managers from the female relatives' maternal families.

Except——

"Father and Mother, your daughter is unfilial and has caused you worry."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wang Minyue stepped forward gracefully, her eyes brimming with tears, but inwardly she was extremely pleased with herself.

Seeing the Wang family carrying large bags of luggage and belongings made her feel even more embarrassed in front of her sisters-in-law.

Despite the envious and jealous looks, Wang Minyue deliberately led her husband and two adopted sons to the side to talk to the Wang family.

Unfortunately, her moment of glory was short-lived, as she soon saw two light gray carriages with canopies slowly approaching from the back of the procession.

The carriage stopped nearby. Under the curious gazes of the Shao family, Chu Miaoyi lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage with Granny Gui.

"Chu Shi, you shameless woman who abandoned your husband and daughter, how dare you come here!"

Since Xu's family had also been exiled, there was naturally no one to visit her. Looking at the carriage, which was vaguely stuffed full of items, Xu vaguely guessed what was going on. She was filled with hatred and immediately rebuked them.

Finally, she tried to act like the legitimate mother and forbade the illegitimate son from having any further contact with Madam Chu, but before she could even speak, she was kicked by Shao's father.

“Foolish woman, do you think we’re still in the Marquis’s mansion? If you dare to ruin everyone’s good time, I’ll divorce you and send you back to the Xu family.”

Shao's father didn't care about the conflicts between Xu and her illegitimate sons. He only knew that no matter which daughter-in-law's family came to visit, as long as it made their journey easier, he didn't care about face or dignity; nothing was more important than living.

Xu covered her face, no longer daring to make a scene, but her eyes were still fixed on Shao Linshen and the others, filled with malice.

But then they saw Chen's eldest uncle lean out of the carriage in the other carriage traveling with them, nimbly jump down, and walk anxiously toward Chen's aunt.

When family members meet, they naturally have endless things to say, and the brother and sister were also crying uncontrollably.

Shao Linshen led the two children a little further away. When they saw the woman coming towards them, the two children were so excited that they wanted to rush over to her, and kept calling out "Mother".

Chu Miaoyi felt a pang of heartache upon hearing the call, and she ran over, lifting her skirt. As soon as she reached the two children, she knelt down and hugged them tightly.

Upon seeing this, Shao Linshen sighed. He had already learned from Pangu Banner that Chu Miaoyi was staying at the Chen family, so he was not surprised that she would come now.

He opened his mouth and called out "Madam," but could not say anything else.

Seeing his dazed and confused appearance, Chu Miaoyi burst out laughing, and her previously suppressed mood eased a bit.

She simply lowered her head and kissed her two daughters' little faces, then turned to look at the three people waiting by the carriage, and whispered:

"Quanfu, Quanlu, and Granny Gui are grateful for my husband's previous kindness and wish to go to the frontier with me so they can take care of our family on the way."

She couldn't drive a carriage. Although she was determined to follow the exiles and take care of the father and his two daughters, she originally planned to have her uncle Chen hire a reliable coachman who was willing to travel long distances. However, when Quanfu and the others heard about this, they took the initiative to come and join her, which saved her a lot of trouble.

Shao Lin listened quietly to the other party's account, deeply moved by the actions of Quan Fu and the other two.

After the group talked for a while, the escorts, who had been enjoying fine wine and food in the pavilion, looked up, estimated the time, got up, put the silver they had just collected into their pockets, and were about to strike the gong in their hands when they heard a clear bell sound coming from afar.

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged Taoist priest, disheveled with tangled hair and wearing a tattered robe, slowly riding a donkey out of the forest.

While everyone was still in a daze, the disheveled Taoist priest walked straight towards the Wang family, muttering incomprehensible words...
