It's just getting a flower, what's so difficult about that?

But Pan Yinyin didn't know that she was already exquisitely beautiful, and with a few lotus flowers in her hands, she was even more lovable.

When she entered the room in this manner, even Zhan Zheng, who had a mediocre impression of her and was quite scheming, couldn't help but admire her for a while longer, not to mention Yu Miaoqi, who already liked her quite a bit.

"Look at this, it's lotus flowers, lotus leaves, and lotus pods. I bet it wasn't your idea, Hongfu."

“As expected, you can’t hide it from Madam,” Hongfu said, opening the food box and taking out three bowls of ginger milk curd. Two of the bowls were naturally for the two masters, but the last bowl was placed in front of Yinyin at Yu Miaoqi’s instruction.

Afterwards, Hongfu went to get some things to put in the vase, while Yinyin thanked Yu Miaoqi and then ate little by little with a small spoon.

Seeing how much she enjoyed her food, Zhan Zheng unknowingly finished his own. At that moment, he suddenly understood why Yu Miaoqi wanted to take Pan Yinyin to have her fortune told.

The mother had long wanted a well-behaved, beautiful, and intelligent daughter, and Pan Yinyin perfectly fit all these criteria. She had watched her grow up and even had some close ties with her father.

If she could stay this way, Zhan Zheng felt that no matter what the final outcome, he wouldn't mind having such a younger sister.

Although he and his mother were forced to flee to their ancestral home, they were not lacking in material possessions, thanks to their previous savings and the income from their farms and shops. Having another "sister" would at most mean acquiring more clothes for all four seasons, hairpins, and jewelry, which could then be added to her dowry later.

But she could make her mother happy, and fill the void left by her mother's absence when she went away to study, or even later when she became an official. Thinking of this, Zhan Zheng felt that the money was well spent.

Looking at his mother's smiling face, he quickly came up with an idea.

The next day, Yin Yin was still dreaming when Qiu Rui gently woke her up: "Yin Yin, it's time to get up, or you'll miss going out with Madam."

Go out?

Go outside!

Yin Yin woke up immediately. She had been in this world for almost five years. If you don't count the time when she was still an infant, this was the first time she had properly gone out and seen the local customs and culture.

"Thank you for calling me, Sister Qiu Rui," Yin Yin said sweetly. With Qiu Rui's help, she quickly washed up and changed into clothes suitable for going out.

Because of Yu Miaoqi's previous instructions, Yin Yin's clothes are now all embroidered. Today's dress has lotus flowers embroidered on the skirt and dragonflies on the bodice. Paired with the headband, she looks even more precious than the proper young ladies of the local gentry.

When they left, Yin Yin was sitting in the oxcart with Yu Miaoqi and her son. At first, she was able to wait obediently to the side, paying attention to the needs of Yu Miaoqi and her son, but after Yu Miaoqi called Hong Fu in, she was no longer needed. So she used the carriage curtain that was being blown by the wind to look at the scenery outside.

It's summer now, the sun is strong, and many people are working in the fields under the blazing sun.

Judging from their appearance and the clothes they wore, Pan Yinyin could roughly tell that these people were doing quite well, after all, they had long arms and legs, were strong, and their clothes didn't have many patches.

Seeing that she was looking outside, Yu Miaoqi observed for a moment before saying, "I remember this area belongs to the Xun family?"

Hearing this from outside, Granny Zhao quickly replied, "If Madam is not mistaken, this is the Xun family's property. Once we pass this area, it will belong to the Yu family."

Yinyin blinked. It turned out that these people were not ordinary farmers at all, but tenant farmers under a powerful family.

Indeed, the imperial court in this world is almost entirely controlled by powerful families, and their influence among the common people is naturally even more unimaginable. Otherwise, how could the Zhan family in the capital be so full of flaws that Zhan Zheng could easily find fault with them? It's because they are in such a high position and are favored and protected, so they never take ordinary people seriously and act recklessly.

Most other aristocratic families were even more powerful than them.

This is why, even though Pan Yinyin has been in this world for several years, she has stayed in the Zhan family and hasn't tried to leave.

Without the ability to protect oneself, in the eyes of some powerful figures in this world, one might not even be considered human, let alone die a natural death and complete one's mission objectives.

Thinking of this, Pan Yinyin began to admire Zhan Zheng even more.

Although he was quite promiscuous with women, a scoundrel, always scheming against people, and using dishonest and even vicious methods.

But after he came to power, regardless of his motives, he ultimately ensured that the country's laws effectively protected the interests of ordinary people and greatly restrained the children of the powerful from wantonly trampling on human life.

That alone was enough to change Pan Yinyin's opinion of him.

Of course, you absolutely cannot have any romantic entanglements with him! Otherwise, you'll be complaining about how lucky you are and want to experience hellish difficulties.

After passing the Xun family's fields and entering the Yu family's territory, it was not far from the village where Granny Zhao's family lived.

Upon entering the village, many villagers, seeing the arrival of distinguished guests from afar, dared not disturb them and mostly went straight home. Those who happened to be there simply stepped aside to make way for Yu Miaoqi and her entourage.

Pan Yinyin saw this and felt somewhat troubled.

When they arrived at the destination, Pan Yinyin learned that Yu Miaoqi had come to ask a Taoist priest to read Zhan Zheng's face.

She did know something about this, since Zhan Zheng's destiny as a prime minister was first revealed by this Taoist priest.

Although the Taoist priest did not appear directly in the entire story, his divination of Zhan Zheng was present throughout the entire series.

Even though Pan Yinyin knew this was just a plot device, she still had to give it a thumbs up and say it was incredibly accurate in real life. After all, she was living a real life now.

In fact, she had already used her aura-gazing technique to examine Zhan Zheng after Pan Yinyin entered the manor. Zhan Zheng's aura was fairly solid, clearly shaped like a golden turtle. However, compared to the people she had seen in her previous life when she was Li Yinyin, it was somewhat inferior.

This is understandable, though. After all, those people in their previous lives had already achieved great success and were at the peak of their fortune. Zhan Zheng is still young, and the fact that he has already manifested is a testament to his status as a chosen one. As his abilities improve and his official position rises, his fortune will likely only grow stronger.

Since it was a face reading session, there was no reason for a group of people to rush in, so Zhan Zheng entered alone.

After the face reading was finished, Zhan Zheng did not come out immediately. Instead, he put down a purse and pushed it in front of the Taoist priest: "Everything in the world has its own destiny. I believe that the child who will be entering the house later should have a mother-daughter relationship with my mother. Taoist priest, you should take a good look at her later."
