Quick Transmigration: A Super-Effective Novel Within a Super-Effective Novel

"Tsk, I haven't even made a move yet," Lin Zhao sighed.

She wasn't a kind person, and she wouldn't respect the elderly and let Old Deng go. She only felt it was a pity that she couldn't personally beat Old Madam Song to death.

This old lady Song, like Madam Song, is no good either.

After Song Xi left the manor to join the army, although the old lady Song and Madam Song were in charge of the household, one was old and the other was in poor health, so the original owner still had to take care of all the big and small matters.

The original owner was trapped in this courtyard, living a life of widowhood at a young age, and had to manage the messy affairs of a large family, which was already difficult for her.

Even if Madam Song and Madam Song didn't criticize her, there were always many complicated matters to attend to, so their relationship wasn't exactly harmonious.

Later, the original owner transmigrated, and Song Xi returned. For Song Xi's sake, Old Madam Song and Madam Song also accepted Xu Yanran, a mute girl of unknown origin. The original owner had no feelings for Song Xi to begin with, so she simply wanted to end things and become a hands-off manager. But at this time, Old Madam Song and Madam Song started causing trouble for the original owner again.

They complained that she hadn't handled things well here or disciplined people properly, or that she didn't care about Song Xi and hadn't fulfilled her responsibilities as a principal wife, so they wouldn't let her have a comfortable life.

She was only doing this because she favored her son and was making trouble for him, which made the original owner of the body furious.

In the end, Song Xi wronged the Lin family, and the original owner was also implicated and imprisoned in the mansion, where she was mistreated by the servants. The two old ladies did not remember the original owner's hard work in being a widow for seven years and completely ignored her, leading to the original owner's tragic death from illness.

So when Madam Song died, Lin Zhao didn't feel sorry for her at all.

Old Deng, who couldn't distinguish right from wrong, is dead, and that's that.

"Carry her out of here, wrap her in burlap and bury her however you like. It's a waste of money and bad luck to keep her in the Marquis's mansion," Lin Zhao said.

The servants were still hesitant, but when Ying Sui, who had been taught the martial arts by Lin Zhao, stood in front of everyone, and after glancing at Song Xi, who was half-beaten to death, they dared not move and quickly dragged him away.

"Take Song Xi away and lock him in his room," Lin Zhao ordered again.

She thought for a moment and estimated that Liusu could succeed before sunset. She then said, "Just tell everyone that the Marquis brought back a woman of unknown origin, insisted on abandoning his wife and promoting her to a concubine, angered his grandmother to death, injured his mother, and was beaten by the old lady and is now avoiding seeing anyone."

"Now that I, the eldest daughter-in-law, am in charge of the household affairs in the Marquis's mansion, anyone who dares to cause trouble and spread rumors will be beaten to death, and their parents and children will all be sold off!"

She wasn't afraid at all that these servants would gossip. Not only did she have plenty of ways to shut them up, but Ying Sui and Liu Su could easily deal with them as well.

"As for that wretched woman..."

Lin Zhao didn't forget Xu Yanran, who was huddled in the corner.

She walked over, grabbed Xu Yanran's chin, and forced her to look up at her.

"Didn't you want to become the mistress of the household in the Marquis's mansion? Fine, I'll grant your wish!"

Lin Zhao shook Xu Yanran's head away, pointed at her, and said to everyone, "From today onwards, she is the successor to the eldest daughter-in-law brought back by the Marquis. The life I have lived for the past seven years will now be a thousand times stricter and a thousand times more difficult for her! Whoever dares to pity her or help her will suffer in her place!"

"During the day, I send her to my courtyard to learn etiquette, and at night I lock her up with your Marquis, making her serve her beloved Marquis properly!"

After saying that, Lin Zhao looked at Xu Yanran, whose eyes were filled with fear, and laughed.

"Didn't you claim to be a crude peasant girl who lost her family at a young age? Becoming the mistress of this grand marquis's mansion won't be easy. Let me teach you a lesson! Hahahaha!"

Lin Zhao didn't care whether Xu Yanran agreed or not, and dragged her all the way back to his own courtyard.

On the way, Ying Sui asked her how to deal with Madam Song, who had broken her leg, and Lin Zhao snorted coldly.

“Break her other leg too, and say that she favored the Marquis and angered her mother-in-law to death. She was then sent to the estate to reflect on her actions.”

"Throw her into the poorest and most remote village in the Marquis's estate. Don't give her any food, don't allow anyone to visit her, and have two of your men keep an eye on her. Let her fend for herself!"

She didn't have time to deal with Madam Song anymore; she still had Xu Yanran to properly train.

Ying Sui responded with a "Yes," and conveniently landed to make the arrangements.

Sure enough, within two days, news spread from the estate that Madam Song had died of illness.

"They said that no one was applying medicine or taking care of her wounds, and she had no water or food. Her body couldn't hold on any longer, and the wounds became infected and festered. Her legs were so badly mangled that she died from the pain," Ying Sui whispered to Lin Zhao.

“That’s good, she died a worthy death.” Lin Zhao nodded. “Just like that old woman, wrap her up and throw her into a mass grave.”

"The dogs ate their bodies; it's a way of accumulating some merit for them to be reincarnated as ghosts."

"Don't set up a memorial tablet for her, don't make offerings to her, and tell Song Xi that she rotted to death, so that he will suffer again," Lin Zhao ordered.

"Yes."

Ying Sui bowed again and went to handle the matter.

How are things going on your end?

Lin Zhao asked Liu Su, whom he hadn't seen for another day.

Liu Su immediately moved closer to Lin Zhao.

“Reporting to Miss, yesterday I followed your instructions and led men to intercept the Marquis’s belongings. To avoid any unforeseen complications, I sent men again today to scout along the Marquis’s return route. If they find anything, they will intercept it and bring it all to you.”

"Good job, very well done."

Lin Zhao was very satisfied with Liu Su's work and nodded in praise.

Liu Su said with a smile, "Thank you, Miss."

Lin Zhao knew what Song Xi had done during his seven years on the frontier. Although he had left the army, he had indeed accomplished something. He not only wiped out a neighboring country's army that was spying on military secrets, but also obtained evidence that several ministers in the court had colluded with the enemy to betray the country.

Including defense maps of some neighboring countries, etc., he planned to take those things to the palace to meet the emperor and receive a reward after returning to the capital.

In the original owner's life, Song Xi gained the emperor's favor and a more prominent position because of these things that proved his achievements. So no matter how much he messed around and favored his concubines over his wife, the emperor only turned a blind eye.

Even later, when Song Xi tried to exonerate Xu Yanran's family and pinned all the blame on the Lin family, slandering them, the Emperor still believed him so biasedly.

So as soon as Lin Zhao arrived, she immediately ordered Liu Su to lead people to intercept Song Xi's belongings. She wanted to get those things first so that Song Xi would never be able to turn the tables.

Unexpectedly, Liu Su investigated the matter very carefully, which impressed Lin Zhao.

As expected of the maid who followed the original owner in managing the household, she is both loyal and intelligent.

"Snapped--"

The master and servant were chatting amicably when suddenly a sharp sound rang out in the courtyard. Lin Zhao looked into the courtyard with great impatience.
