Quick Transmigration: Help, The Male Leads Are All Broken!

Spitting it out meant she wouldn't have to eat it, but it wasn't because he felt sorry for her. It was because if Su Tang dared to spit out the medicine, no one would care about her.

With such a serious illness, if no one cared for her, she could die any day. The male lead could then claim to the outside world that she refused to take her medicine and he was helpless. On the contrary, she would be seen as willful and reckless, ultimately dying with a bad reputation.

The thought of that scene made Su Tang want to shed a handful of bitter tears.

"Ninth Uncle, I was wrong. Can you give me a candied fruit?"

The little thing looked at him pitifully, but Rong Jin remained unmoved.

Shen Tao, true to her name, had a pair of watery peach blossom eyes that rippled like waves. Lying in bed, she looked sickly, yet inexplicably made people feel sorry for her. Especially now, with her long eyelashes trembling gently and her voice soft and gentle, it was a pity that she was facing a devil that even ghosts hated.

"Beg me?"

Su Tang wasn't some kind of gentleman; she didn't need any gentlemanly airs. She just wanted to save her life, so she nodded shamelessly, "Yes, I'm begging Ninth Uncle."

She was obedient and well-behaved, quite different from the willful young lady in everyone's impression.

Unfortunately, Rong Jin had long seen through her facade. The little thing was only at a disadvantage now and had no choice but to compromise. If she ever gained power, who knew how arrogant she would become.

"Begging won't get you anything. Hurry up and drink. I have things to do and don't have time to waste with you."

Su Tang blinked, looking at him like a pitiful little thing. "Ninth Uncle, I can meow like a cat. Just give me a candied fruit, please. Or even half a one would be fine."

Both of them knew very well that Rong Jin hadn't forgotten his past foolish memories after being detoxified. And Su Tang, after learning that this lord had recovered and had so many extraordinary confidants around him, completely chickened out. She didn't dare provoke him anymore and even kept a low profile. Unfortunately, Rong Jin wasn't going to let her off so easily.

The Shen family was a Marquis household, and there were nine "Lords" alone, so one could imagine how much infighting there would be.

Shen Tao's father ranked second and was a general stationed on the frontier for a long time. In order to prevent generals from rebelling and seizing power, the imperial court would never allow all their family members to go there. Therefore, Shen Tao was actually a hostage held by the court. If he made any unusual move, she would be eliminated immediately.

The Fifth Lord was in the same situation as Shen Tao's father, but the Fifth Madam didn't go to the frontier. Instead, she stayed in the Shen family with her son. So, strictly speaking, only Shen Tao was alone without any external support.

Her other siblings bullied her because her family only had one girl, and they ridiculed her openly and secretly. There were even people who wanted to stuff concubines to her father, which was absolutely intolerable.

In the past, with the Old Marquis Shen in charge, there were only some minor squabbles. Su Tang wasn't the type to swallow her anger. Whoever dared to provoke her, she would make sure they were dead, never showing mercy. In addition, her parents weren't really deceased but were on the frontier and still held the rank of general, so everyone wouldn't make things too difficult for her on the surface.

However, the Old Marquis Shen's health was deteriorating day by day, and no one knew when he would pass away. When that time came, not to mention anything else, the position of Marquis would definitely go to the Eldest Lord, and it wouldn't be Shen Tao's cheap father, the Second Lord Shen's turn. When that time came, if the Eldest Madam wanted to divide the family, then whether they were born of the first wife or born of concubines, they would eventually have to move out.

Su Tang waited for a long time without getting a response from Rong Jin, and looked at him with anticipation, "If Ninth Uncle doesn't like it, I can also bark like a dog, hop like a rabbit, chirp like a bird…"

She was really going all out, but Rong Jin found it utterly boring.

He didn't want to see her being submissive; he wanted to see her annoyed, angry, and humiliated.

So, with a flick of his sleeve, Rong Jin said coldly, "I'm not interested in those animals. I don't want to hear it." After saying that, he glanced coldly at the bowl of medicine in her hand, "I'll give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. If you don't want to drink it, I'll have someone come in and force it down your throat."

Su Tang: …

Damn it, that's too much!

The medicine was very bitter, and there was such a big bowl of it. Su Tang really held her nose and drank it, and because she drank it too fast, she ended up choking, coughing non-stop, unable to hold the medicine bowl steady, and looking extremely embarrassed.

Her appearance made Rong Jin feel much better. He even personally tucked the quilt around her, saying gently, "Now that Tao Tao has finished her medicine, she should rest well."

Su Tang was so bitter from the medicine that she wanted to cry. Seeing that he was about to leave, she immediately grabbed his sleeve.

"Ninth, Ninth Uncle, I was wrong…"

Rong Jin interrupted, smiling harmlessly, "No, you're not wrong. Our Tao Tao is just a little naughty. It's okay, Ninth Uncle will teach you well."

Su Tang cried. If he taught her, she would be skinned alive even if she didn't die.

"I don't want candied fruit anymore, Ninth Uncle, I'm thirsty."

Rong Jin smiled, "Then be thirsty. It won't kill you."

Su Tang: …

Rong Jin left with the empty bowl, leaving Su Tang alone biting the quilt. And what was even more outrageous was that he actually told the servants outside the door not to give her water for an hour, saying that the doctor said that drinking water would dilute the effect of the medicine and that she had to wait an hour for the medicine to take full effect before she could drink water.

Only he could make up such nonsense, but the maids and old women believed it, and then they kept chattering outside about how good Ninth Lord was.

He, he, he was good my ass!

Su Tang was so angry that she wanted to punch the bed!

For a month, Su Tang was confined for a whole month, unable to go out, and had to drink that bitter medicine every day. During that period, she felt like she had come to hell, it was too painful. And Rong Jin, that dog, was simply inhuman. In the end, while she was drinking the medicine, he was eating candied fruit, and then he complained that it was too sweet.

Su Tang really wanted to curse at him, "Fuck you!"

A month later, she thought she could finally be released and go out for a good meal, but this guy actually brought a pile of homework over.

She looked at him in despair, but Rong Jin said very gently, "You've been resting for a month, and your studies have fallen behind. This is your recent homework. Remember to complete it." After saying that, he added, "I will check it."

"Ninth Uncle, I was wrong. If you want to kill me or cut me up, just do it quickly. Please spare me." She really raised the white flag and surrendered. At this time, being stubborn would only make her suffer.

However, Rong Jin wasn't going to let her off so easily. Instead, he affectionately stroked her head and smiled, "Tao Tao, no one can help you with your homework now. You have to be good. I don't think you want to see Ninth Uncle angry, do you?"

He was only two years older than her, and they were of the same generation, but because of this fake identity, he actually treated himself as an elder and spoke in a tone of reprimanding a junior.

However, Su Tang didn't dare to say anything, for fear that her homework would be doubled.

She leaned lifelessly on the chair. At noon, the fine sunlight fell on her cheeks through the window. After resting for a whole month, the sickliness on her face gradually disappeared, and now she was fair and rosy, very cute.

And Rong Jin, he just wanted to destroy this cuteness.

"Oh, right, don't forget your needlework, otherwise, when you get married in the future, you'll be disgracing the Shen family."

Rong Jin: Beg me.

Su Tang: Oh, you're so horny~
