Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

[Mini spoiler: The male lead, Quan Xiangyuan, is not Yin Yin's romantic partner, and Yin Yin will not become a concubine. Remember this before reading!]

"The young master just had an accident, and the other branches of the family joined forces to pressure him. The madam is still heartbroken, but she has to force herself to stand up. It's so hard for the madam!"

Pan Yinyin was so small, not even a year old, that she couldn't speak clearly and could only listen to her mother sigh.

Pan's father added, "There's no point in thinking too much. Although the master is gone, the madam is still here. In the future, we should still be careful in our actions and take good care of the madam."

Madam Pan agreed, saying, "That's right, we'll just wait for Madam's instructions."

For nearly a year since her birth, as a child who couldn't leave the house, Pan Yinyin could only try to glean information about the world from her parents' conversations. But overall, she had a general understanding of it.

In this drama based on a popular male-oriented novel, Pan Yinyin doesn't become a noble lady or a princess, nor is she even an ordinary commoner. Her father in this life is a servant born into the male lead's family. She has served the male lead's father since childhood and is highly trusted. She married the male lead's mother's maid, making her a winner in life in the eyes of the servants in the mansion.

The problem is that Pan Yinyin remembers very clearly that after his father's death, the male protagonist, along with his mother, would be exiled from the capital to their hometown by his grandparents due to the machinations of the other families. When they left the capital, they took several servants with them. On the way, they were ambushed, and the other servants scattered and fled. Only one servant surnamed Pan risked his life to protect the male protagonist and his mother.

In the end, only one little girl remained in the Pan family. She grew up with the male protagonist's mother, raised like a concubine, and was the future mistress the mother had tacitly approved of. However, when the male protagonist grew up, full of ambition, and left his hometown to return to the capital, he was attacked again. This girl died to save him. Her death directly contributed to the male protagonist's growth, and she thus became his unforgettable love and cherished memory.

Later in the story, the male protagonist had many women, but he used them all to gain benefits. When he died, he was mourned as if it were a national day, and his lavish burial items were countless. However, by his pillow was a single old and out-of-fashion handkerchief, which was made for him by the Pan family's daughter years ago.

This girl's name is Pan Yinyin.

Although while watching the drama, she briefly thought the male lead wasn't entirely a scumbag because of his enduring affection over so many years, when she learned that she was Pan Yinyin, all she wanted to do was curse.

How difficult it must be to survive to the very end!

On the surface, it might seem that not following the male lead to the capital would have meant survival, a better fate than dying in the third episode of the previous storyline. But the male lead dies much later; the grand finale is after his death and funeral. And by the time he dies, four emperors have already passed away, with the fifth emperor also dying in the same year.

It is arguably the longest-living tortoise in history; no one dares to say they can outlive it.

Moreover, more important than how to live a long life is whether my parents can survive right now.

Although Pan Yinyin receives countless special care and treatment in the drama, all thanks to the protection of her parents, if she could choose, she would still prefer to have both parents alive.

But she is not even a year old yet, and can't even speak properly. Even if she has great abilities, she will find it difficult to use them.

Seeing the increasingly dense death aura above her parents, Li Yinyin felt extremely distressed.

"Yinyin?" Pan's mother was surprised to find her daughter lying in her swaddling clothes, watching them cry incessantly. She quickly wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, but the more she wiped, the more tears she shed. She could only quickly pick up her daughter and comfort her, "Good girl, your father and mother didn't mean to ignore you. We just have something important to say. Good child, don't cry. How about I sing you a song?"

Mr. Pan was also extremely anxious. This was his first child since he got married, and he doted on him. He was worried that his child would damage his eyes at such a young age by crying like this.

"Why don't we take him to see the royal physician? It's not good for him to keep crying like this."

After trying to coax her for a while and seeing that it was no use, Pan's mother quickly nodded. The couple then went to find the family doctor, avoiding people.

After examining the girl, the physician told the two, "The little girl's eyes are just a bit red from crying for so long, but there's nothing wrong with her health."

Mr. Pan was a little worried: "Why is this child crying so much? He's just shedding tears silently. It's heartbreaking to watch."

The physician thought for a moment: "Has this child been frightened?"

Mr. and Mrs. Pan quickly shook their heads: "This child suddenly started crying when she saw her father and me."

The physician opened his mouth, but lowered his voice: "It doesn't look like an illness to me, but rather... children have sharp eyes, so you should be more careful lately, lest they bump into something."

Since a funeral was being held in the mansion, the group kept quiet about these things.

The physician coughed lightly: "If this crying continues, it's really not a good thing. I'll get you a packet of calming soup that can be used on children. I think the child should be better once he falls asleep. After you get home, boil three bowls of water down to one bowl, but each time you give the child the medicine, only use half a spoonful of the medicine. Do not give more."

When Mr. and Mrs. Pan returned with the medicine, Pan Yinyin was soon served half a spoonful of bitter medicine. She tried to dodge, but her father pinched her nose and forced it down her throat.

Before long, Li Yinyin succumbed to sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep, and her tears indeed stopped flowing.

While Mr. and Mrs. Pan were happy, they were also somewhat worried. If children really do have sharp eyes, seeing them crying silently gave them a sense of foreboding.

In the end, however, Mr. and Mrs. Pan suppressed their fears.

When Pan Yinyin woke up again, only an old nanny was left in the house to take care of her. Her parents, judging from the time, must have gone to the main house to serve their master.

Time passed by, and as Pan Yinyin eagerly awaited, her parents returned, along with an unexpected little tagalong.

"Young master, what brings you here?" Pan's father hadn't even settled in his seat before he quickly stood up and bowed to his young master. "If you have any orders, just send someone to summon me. How could I trouble you to come to such a place?"

Young Master? The male lead has arrived? Pan Yinyin turned her head, but her view was blocked by the swaddling clothes, so she couldn't see anything clearly and could only rely on her hearing.

"Uncle Pan, there's no need to rush. It's just that some things are not easy to discuss in the main hall, and the courtyard may not be safe either."

Zhan Zheng matured at a young age due to the death of his father.

“My mother received definite news that my grandparents had been persuaded by the other branches of the family to send my mother and me back to our hometown. Ostensibly, it was to observe mourning for my father, but in reality, they were trying to make sure we never came to the capital again.”

"How could that be?" Father Pan was still somewhat incredulous. "When Master was alive, he was the most..."

Seeing that he had stopped on his own, Zhan Zheng forced a smile and said, "Yes, when my father was alive, he was my grandparents' most beloved son. But now he's gone, isn't he?"

Although Zhan Zheng is also the eldest grandson, the grandson and the other sons are all equally dear to him, and neither can be abandoned. So, the old master and old lady have to start trying to smooth things over.

In the end, it was only their eldest son's family who chose to stay, be sent away, be abandoned, and leave the capital.

Zhan Zheng clenched his fists, and his lips turned slightly white from being pressed so tightly together.

Father Pan cupped his hands and said, "If Madam and Young Master have any needs, please just give the order, and I will certainly not refuse."

Zhan Zheng's expression softened, but his tone remained sarcastic: "My mother's idea is that since we're leaving the capital and going back to our hometown, we need to find a way to dispose of or entrust some things that are difficult to take with us to trustworthy people. Otherwise, if we leave them in the mansion, who knows what will be left when we come back?"

The remaining villains, Pan Yinyin thought to herself, this mansion is brimming with them.
