Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Shen Ruyin sat down next to her, took her older sister's hand in return, and looked quite worried.

"Look at you, what kind of expression is that? I am now the Second Prince's concubine," the young lady said calmly, as if she were talking about something else entirely.

“Big sister will definitely not stop here in the future,” Shen Ruyin said with certainty.

Upon hearing this, the young woman smiled slightly and said, "Of course."

She inexplicably recalled the abbot's prophecy at the Sanqing Temple, and her eyes were filled with undisguised ambition.

Looking at this young woman, Shen Ruyin felt that she possessed a unique charm, and was momentarily amazed.

The older girl glanced at her and couldn't help but gently squeeze her hand. "Why are you acting strangely again?"

"I didn't do anything strange. It's just that you're so beautiful, I'm captivated," Shen Ruyin tilted her head shyly and asked, "Has the date for you to enter the manor been set, eldest sister?"

The young woman nodded. "It'll only be a month or two."

"So fast!" Shen Ruyin exclaimed softly, "Why the rush?"

“I’m just a concubine. I can just choose a day that’s acceptable to enter the manor. I can’t be picky,” the eldest daughter said, before adding, “Don’t worry, it’s not a bad thing to enter the manor earlier.”

"If I can seize the opportunity and become pregnant, then the position of concubine will naturally be mine."

Shen Ruyin carefully thought about the few fragmented plots she still remembered, and only vaguely remembered that when the eldest daughter first entered the mansion, she was not very favored. On the contrary, another concubine who entered the mansion later was more outstanding.

However, this concubine was too outstanding, but unfortunately, she was in poor health and died after a miscarriage. It was only later in the story, when the princess fell from power, that this incident was brought up again, and everyone realized that the death of this concubine was actually orchestrated by the kind and benevolent princess.

Aside from these general matters, Shen Ruyin couldn't remember when Concubine Gao entered the mansion, when she became pregnant, when she died, or what evidence was dug up against the Princess. Now, she could only go through what she wanted to say in her mind several times before turning it into a few words of advice.

"Elder sister, you've just entered the manor, so you must first understand the situation here before discussing anything else. Don't be hasty. They say that winning first place isn't a real skill; standing firmly in a high position is true ability. His Highness the Second Prince is the legitimate son and has a reputation for virtue. He's favored by the Emperor, so your good fortune is yet to come."

After listening to Shen Ruyin's advice, the eldest girl looked her over carefully, and her smile became even gentler than before.

"Now it seems that it was the right decision to have you learn from Granny Rong. Now that you have a plan in mind, I don't need to worry about anything in the future."

Shen Ruyin blushed slightly and said reproachfully, "We were just talking about you, big sister, why are you bringing me up again?"

“I know you mean well, and I will be careful so you won’t worry,” the young lady paused, then continued, “As for Granny Rong, I don’t plan to take her out with me.”

Seeing Shen Ruyin slightly stunned, the eldest young lady patiently explained, "Granny Rong came from the side of the Dowager Consort. If I were a concubine, it wouldn't be a problem to bring her into the mansion. But I am just a concubine, and I don't have the quota of a nanny by my side. If I suddenly bring her along, it would be a bit conspicuous."

"Although the household might give me face because of the Dowager Consort, once this precedent is set, my reputation in front of His Highness will probably suffer."

Shen Ruyin nodded. That was true. In the backyard, everyone was competing with each other. Anyone who was different from others would inevitably become a thorn in everyone's side.

“So, I thought that when the time comes, Rong Mama will come with you when you get married,” the eldest daughter said earnestly. “I have observed that your relationship with Mama has gradually improved over the past few months. If you take care of her in her old age, she will definitely be willing.”

"Furthermore, the Su family is related to the Dowager Consort and has some influence over her. They would never neglect the nannies who come from the Dowager Consort's side. As the wife of a concubine's son, having such a powerful figure by your side that others dare not easily touch, others would have to think twice about whether it is worth it if they wanted to scheme against you."

"Besides, the old nanny has served in the palace for many years. With her by your side to take care of you, I don't need to worry about your innocent and carefree nature."

Shen Ruyin pursed her lips, recalling how her eldest sister had used her second sister's affair to get her to study with Rong Mama, while subtly discouraging her second sister from joining in. She began to have some guesses.

"Big sister...did you already have this planned out?"

The eldest daughter nodded readily. "You and the second brother are both my sisters, but I'm much closer to you. Now that there are such benefits, who else would I think of first if not you?"

“However, I am not without other intentions as well,” the young woman paused, and asked Shen Ruyin with a hint of probing, “You should think carefully about what other thoughts I may have.”

what?

Shen Ruyin's pupils widened slightly. Just a moment ago, they were showing their sisterly affection. How come in the blink of an eye, she has to wonder what other intentions her older sister might have besides her own good?
