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

As soon as the person entered, they quickly turned their back and closed the door tightly. They also carefully looked out through the crack in the door to make sure no one was following them before walking to the bedside.

He covered his mouth, his eyes showing disgust and revulsion, but he still took off his hood.

"Yanran! It's me, brother!"

Xu Yanran almost cried out in surprise when she saw Xu Zhoucheng. Xu Zhoucheng quickly gave her a wink, and Xu Yanran saw that Song Xi also looked surprised, so she swallowed her words.

She gestured to Xu Zhoucheng, asking him how he ended up here.

"Who are you? Yanran, didn't you say there was no one at home? How come you suddenly have a brother?" Song Xi asked furiously, her anger rising for no reason.

Xu Zhoucheng glanced at Song Xi, ignored him, and said to Xu Yanran, "Yanran, after you returned to the capital, you cut off contact with me. I sensed something was wrong, so I came to the Marquis's residence by myself. I happened to be there when the Marquis's residence was recruiting new servants, and that's how I managed to sneak in."

"It's fortunate that I found you. I've heard that the current mistress of the Marquis's mansion is quite terrifying, you..."

Xu Zhoucheng didn't need to look closely; he only needed to glance at her to know that Xu Yanran had suffered terribly.

But he wasn't too distressed. He simply said, "I disguised myself as a servant of the Marquis's mansion and inquired everywhere before I found this courtyard. Yanran, what do you suggest we do now?"

"Xu Yanran! What on earth is going on?!"

Song Xi was fed up with being ignored, and now that Xu Yanran wasn't paying attention to him, he was very unhappy.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yanran frowned but still ignored Song Xi. After thinking for a long time, she pulled Xu Zhoucheng to the other side of the bed.

She told Xu Zhoucheng about Lin Zhao's recent madness, and Xu Zhoucheng, having witnessed Song Xi's destitution, suggested that they might as well run away.

They were descendants of Xu Min, a disobedient official of the previous dynasty. They barely escaped with their lives, changed their surnames, and were exiled to the frontier.

Later, Xu Yanran accidentally met Song Xi, who had almost died in the war. She found the Marquis's mansion token on his body. After discussing it with Xu Zhoucheng, they decided to pretend to be a mute peasant girl and rely on Song Xi.

From then on, Xu Yanran openly took care of and accompanied Song Xi, while Xu Zhoucheng secretly followed them, supporting Xu Yanran all the way to the capital and into the Marquis's mansion. In turn, Xu Yanran subtly and continuously provided Xu Zhoucheng with some of the benefits that Song Xi had given her.

The two siblings had a clever plan: to curry favor with Song Xi while looking for an opportunity to rise up and become the master again.

But now the Marquis's mansion is under Lin Zhao's control, Song Xi is paralyzed and needs to be taken care of even to defecate and urinate, and Xu Yanran is also being tormented beyond recognition. Their plans are about to fall through.

Xu Zhoucheng sought out Xu Yanran to ask her if her plan was feasible. If not, he wanted to leave as soon as possible and find someone else to attach himself to.

Xu Yanran whispered, "He's no good anymore, brother, take me away quickly!"

Xu Zhoucheng felt a little regretful, but he believed that as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn, so he nodded and said, "Alright, let's hurry up and go!"

"No! You can't take Yanran away!"

Song Xi didn't hear Xu Yanran speak, but she did hear Xu Zhoucheng say that he was leaving.

He had long regarded Xu Yanran as his possession, and in his anxiety, he stubbornly raised his head and shouted, "You can't leave! Otherwise, I'll call for help!"

Xu Zhoucheng was startled and immediately hardened his heart to find something to knock Song Xi unconscious, but Xu Yanran shook her head, not daring to make a big fuss.

Xu Zhoucheng had no choice but to take two steps forward and adopt a roundabout strategy.

"My lord, to tell you the truth, we are descendants of disgraced officials, barely able to protect ourselves. How can we possibly linger in your manor?"

"If you let us go, we can find someone to rescue you after we get out of here. If all else fails... if all else fails, we can burn incense for you during festivals. Wouldn't that be better than us all rotting away in the Marquis's mansion?"

Xu Zhoucheng's words seemed to be a plea to Song Xi, but in reality, they were nothing more than a threat to Song Xi.

Since they were already descendants of disgraced officials and their identities had been exposed, their deaths were only a matter of time. If they were going to die, they would all die together.

But if we let them go, maybe things will turn out differently...

Song Xi also understood this point. Thinking of Lin Zhao's actions towards him and the Marquis's Mansion, Song Xi suddenly frowned and his heart pounded with anger.

"You said you sneaked in, so you must have a way to get out again!"

He trembled and grabbed Xu Yanran's clothes, causing Xu Yanran to scream in fright.

Song Xi said, "Yanran, I can forgive you for hiding your identity from me, but I need your help now!"

Xu Yanran struggled to pull at the hem of her clothes, and Xu Zhoucheng came up to help.

"My lord, my brother and I are barely able to protect ourselves, how can we help you! Let go quickly! That wicked woman will really find out soon!"

Song Xi refused to loosen his grip, gritting his teeth as he asked Xu Yanran, "Have you forgotten how Lin Zhao tortured you? Are you really going to just leave like this? You don't even want revenge?!"

"Well……"

Xu Yanran was stunned upon hearing this. The wound on her back was still throbbing and itching. She shuddered when she recalled the scene of standing in the rules at Lin Zhao's courtyard a few days ago. Thinking of the humiliation she suffered today, she felt even more aggrieved and resentful.

Song Xi quickly pressed on, "Don't you want to clear your family's name? Do you want to spend your life as a descendant of a criminal, wandering from place to place? Don't you want to turn your life around and become a law-abiding citizen and a wife again?!"

"Pah! Who doesn't want a good life!"

Before Xu Yanran could reply, Xu Zhoucheng spat and cursed loudly.

In his youth, he was a noble young master of a noble family, enjoying immense wealth and honor. However, due to the decline of his family, he was forced to be exiled to the frontier, wasting several years. It was only with great difficulty that he and Xu Yanran plotted to climb the social ladder.

How could he not want to live those good days again!

Xu Yanran was also persuaded. She had suffered greatly from the torment she had endured these past few days. When Lin Zhao tattooed her, she hated Lin Zhao even more and wished she could devour her alive.

Why should she be made difficult by others? Why should Lin Zhao be able to sit comfortably in the position of the head wife?

In what way is she inferior to Lin Zhao?

Song Xi is right. If given the chance, she will definitely take revenge!

She wanted Lin Zhao dead, and she wanted the Lin family to suffer the same fate as the Xu family – their property confiscated, their families exiled, and they never to live in peace!

"I can help you! But I also need your help!"

At that moment, Song Xi shouted it out at just the right time.

He looked at Xu Yanran and Xu Zhoucheng with eagerness and ruthlessness in his eyes.

“I have a private army! The general leading it is located on the outskirts of the capital! There are also the achievements I have made on the frontier over the years. If you can help me contact them, I can turn my life around in one fell swoop!”

"With the Emperor's help, Lin Zhao can no longer treat us like this! I will definitely tear her to pieces! I will make sure she suffers a terrible death!"

"And you, I will use the entire power of the Marquis's mansion to overturn your case. At that time, it will no longer be your Xu family that has been accused of treason and disobedience, but the Lin family..."

At this point, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Song Xi's eyes.

Xu Yanran and Xu Zhoucheng exchanged a glance, and were persuaded by Song Xi.
