Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

“Sure, why not?” Zhan Zheng had no choice but to agree. “The Second Madam’s family is about to arrive, and the Old Master has invited me to go and meet them. Are you going?”

"So that's why he came to see you," Yin Yin said after thinking for a moment. "If Mom isn't going, I won't go either. It's fine to just stay home and wait for you to come back and tell me."

Zhan Zheng glanced at his mother: "Mother is considering it."

“What’s there to consider?” Yin Yin said. “They came here to support our daughter. Anyone who steps forward to stand up for her will get scolded. Since we left that mansion early, let’s all stay out of it and let the third branch of the family take the scolding themselves.”

Seeing that Yu Miaoqi was still considering, Yinyin added, "For example, if I am bullied by my husband's family in the future, and you, Mother and Elder Brother, come to help me get revenge, would you greet them with smiles?"

“Who would dare to bully you?” Yu Miaoqi immediately said with dissatisfaction, “If your future husband can’t even protect you, what use is he?”

Zhan Zheng shared the same sentiment: "We'll talk about the future later. Whether it's having someone marry into your family or you getting married, your mother and I will definitely screen them carefully for you."

After Yin Yin smiled and agreed, Zhan Zheng's expression softened, and he then advised Yu Miaoqi: "Mother, Yin Yin is right. The old master came to invite us to the mansion himself because he values ​​your family background. Although the second madam's family is also a prominent family, it is only comparable to the Zhan family. In front of you, they still have to give you face."

"He's clearly biased towards the third branch of the family, so naturally he wants you to go along to prevent the second branch's relatives from making a preemptive move. If you don't want to be laughed at by the second branch's relatives, do you really want to benefit the third branch?"

They all understood, so how could Yu Miaoqi not understand? It's just that she always had to consider things carefully, weigh the pros and cons, before making a decision. After all, although Zhan Zheng had already entered officialdom, he was still unmarried. In the eyes of others, her decisions were basically equated with the attitude of the first wife.

Now that her son and daughter have come to persuade her, she naturally won't ignore their thoughts and immediately said, "It's up to you. Zheng'er will go there by himself that day and just show his face."

Yinyin chimed in, "When the time comes, eldest brother can just say that Mother was so busy during the New Year that she caught a cold and didn't want to pass on her illness to the guests. I guarantee the old man won't say a word."

"You can't go because you're at home taking care of your mother, right?"

Zhan Zheng gave her an annoyed look: "You lie so easily. Neither your mother nor I taught you to do that."

Yin Yin hid behind Yu Miaoqi guiltily: "I just think quickly and know how to deal with it. How did it become a lie? Mother, look at my older brother!"

Yu Miaoqi coughed lightly, picked up her teacup, neither letting Yin Yin directly confront Zhan Zheng nor speaking up for Zhan Zheng on Yin Yin's behalf, clearly intending to play both sides.

Anyway, these two siblings have been making a lot of noise since they were little, but compared to other children, their relationship only gets better the more they fight, so she just lets them be.

Although Zhan Zheng wanted to discipline his sister at this moment, when he arrived at the Zhan residence and was asked by Old Master Zhan why Yu Miaoqi and Yin Yin hadn't come, he subconsciously gave this reason.

The third branch of the family was somewhat disappointed, while the old lady slightly curled the corners of her lips.

Zhan Zheng took in everyone's behavior and sat down in the main room.

Because it was the Second Madam's family coming, Zhan Shu'er, who had been controlled by the Third Madam and suffered a lot, was also brought back.

Even Zhan Zheng, her cousin whom she didn't know very well, could tell that Zhan Shu'er had lost a lot of weight, let alone the Second Master and Second Madam who treated her like a precious jewel.

However, according to Zhan Zheng, although the third branch of the family had tormented Zhan Shu'er, it did not break her pride. Instead, it made her grow and mature a lot, and made Zhan Zheng more pleasing to the eye.

At this moment, Zhan Shu'er has quite the demeanor of the eldest daughter of a noble family.

“Cousin Zheng,” Zhan Shu’er greeted him in front of everyone, “I was ignorant before and almost harmed Sister Yin Yin. When I have the chance in the future, I would like to apologize to Sister Yin Yin in person. Please allow me to do so, cousin.”

Zhan Zheng raised an eyebrow: "It's good that you have this intention, but it's useless for you to tell me this. You should tell Yin Yin yourself later."

"Thank you, cousin."

Watching Zhan Shuer gracefully retreat and seeing the increasingly tense state of the third branch of the family, Zhan Zheng felt a sense of boredom.

But so be it. Even if Zhan Shu'er was just putting on an act, she knew to take action to apologize. On the other hand, Zhan Hui'er from the third branch of the family was still pretending to be deaf and dumb.

After all, the old master made the final decision at home, leaving Zhan Shu'er to take full responsibility for the matter. Since Zhan Hui'er had no problems, what fault could she possibly have to admit?

After returning home, Zhan Zheng specifically mentioned this matter to Yin Yin, telling her to be careful.

Yin Yin was not as cautious as him: "Although Zhan Shu'er and the Second Madam are not smart, her maternal grandparents are not stupid. Now that they are teaching her, Zhan Shu'er will not do anything unnecessary."

“Even my attitude doesn’t matter. As long as Zhan Shu’er apologizes, she knows she’s wrong and can correct it.”

"Forget it, let's not talk about her," Yin Yin asked curiously again, "Big brother, why don't you tell me what happened after the Second Madam's family arrived? It must be very interesting."

Yinyin was in high spirits, but Zhanzheng felt his head buzzing just thinking about it, and his ears were still ringing with the sound of crying. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "The Second Madam's mother... is quite similar to her, but she can cry even more."

"Although she was a lady from a prominent family, she was very shameless. She grabbed Zhan Shuer and cried and cursed her. She didn't spare the old master and the third branch of the family, but also her daughter and son-in-law. She cursed them all equally."

"Wow, that's amazing!" Yin Yin's eyes lit up. She hesitated for a moment when she looked at Yu Miaoqi, then quickly looked away.

Forget it, Mom can't do this, and she doesn't have the chance.

"And then what?" Yu Miaoqi didn't notice Yin Yin's gaze and just wanted Zhan Zheng to continue.

Zhan Zheng suddenly remembered what Yin Yin had said before, that he should treat what happened in the other mansion as a story, and thought it was a bit inappropriate.

Fruits, tea, and snacks were all laid out on the table, with no shortage of any kind of treats. All that was missing was a gavel; otherwise, he would be no different from the storyteller outside.

Otherwise, how about using the rosewood paperweight in the study as a temporary substitute?
