Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

After Zhan Zheng's wedding, the main house had a new master, making it seem a bit stronger, but life seemed no different from before.

Yu Miaoqi didn't like to set rules for Wang Yingman. Apart from paying her respects, she could come and speak as she pleased. So, apart from seeing Wang Yingman during the morning and evening greetings, Yinyin rarely saw her at other times.

As time went on, although Yu Miaoqi didn't say it, she couldn't help but show some dissatisfaction on her face.

Before Zhan Zheng got married, Yu Miaoqi had already planned that once her daughter-in-law entered the family, she would delegate some of the household chores to her, and once she was sure that Zhan Zheng could handle the work, she would hand over the management of the household to her.

Seeing her like this now, she no longer mentions it. She doesn't even ask Wang Yingman to take care of Zhan Zheng's own house; she still takes care of it herself.

Seeing that Yu Miaoqi was not only in low spirits but also had lost her appetite, Yin Yin had some guesses in her mind, but since Yu Miaoqi didn't say anything, she could only take advantage of her free time to go and find Wang Yingman herself.

"Sister is here."

When Yinyin went in, Wang Yingman was leisurely putting a stack of papers into a box. Seeing that she had finished, the maid beside her immediately stepped forward, took the box away, and left without stopping.

Yinyin's eyelids trembled slightly. She first bowed to her before saying, "The weather is fine today, so I came to ask if you would like to go for a walk outside."

Before Wang Yingman could speak, the nanny beside her advised, "Young Madam, you haven't been out for quite some time."

Wang Yingman was a little unhappy, and her tone of refusal was somewhat stiff: "I have always been afraid of the cold and rarely go out in winter. I'm sorry to trouble you to come looking for me."

Yinyin shook her head: "I was unaware of the situation. Sister-in-law, you should prioritize your health."

"Sister-in-law, what do you do to pass the time when you're in the house every day?" Yin Yin asked curiously. "I just can't sit still in the house all day long."

Seeing that she was just curious, Wang Yingman said, "It's nothing. Just read some poems and write some calligraphy in the room, and the day will pass by."

“Reading and writing,” Yin Yin said with admiration. “If you ask me to play inside, I can stay a little longer. But if you ask me to read and write, I’m afraid I’ll only be thinking about what color the sky is outside after a few pages.”

"However, just like you, sister-in-law, you can spend many days in the study without feeling bored or annoyed when you are studying and practicing calligraphy."

Upon hearing this, the old woman smiled slightly: "Young Madam, the young master, like you, also enjoys reading."

Wang Yingman pursed her lips: "Granny Wang, since Sister Yinyin has come all this way, could you go and see if there are any new kinds of snacks in the kitchen and bring them over?"

Yinyin fiddled with the bracelet on her wrist, then suddenly remembered something. Her gaze fell on Wang Yingman's hand, where she saw a pair of clear pink crystal bracelets.

Such material is not only rare, but also very expensive. It is a rare and excellent item, but it was not given by Yu Miaoqi.

But since they're in their own room, they can wear whatever they want.

After Granny Wang left, Wang Yingman visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and her face showed signs of fatigue.

Seeing this, Yinyin said a few words to her, then got up to say goodbye: "Sister-in-law, please rest well. I will come to visit you another day."

After Wang Yingman agreed, Yinyin got up and went out. Once she was out of the courtyard, the smile on Yinyin's face slowly faded, and it wasn't until she entered the main courtyard that it returned.

Yu Miaoqi knew that she had gone to Wang Yingman's place. Seeing that she had returned so early, she frowned slightly, but simply took Yinyin's hand and said, "Why are your hands so cold? Did you forget to bring a hand warmer and catch a cold?"

"It's only a few steps. I'll be warm by the time I get to Mother's. I'd only need a hand warmer if I were really going out to enjoy the scenery!"

“I thought you had gone out to enjoy the scenery,” Yu Miaoqi said deliberately. “I was just about to ask why you were here so soon.”

“My sister-in-law is sensitive to the cold and is a bit tired, so we talked inside for a while before I came out,” Yin Yin said suddenly after thinking for a moment. “Mother also wants to enjoy the scenery? Why don’t we go stay at my eldest brother’s house for a few days and see the familiar scenery?”

Yinyin continued, "It's inconvenient to live in the capital with so many people. Back in Yingzhou, the two of us could celebrate the New Year together anywhere."

Yu Miaoqi was touched by her words and recalled her life in Yingzhou. She couldn't help but say, "Next spring, I'll allocate you a manor so you'll have a place to go every day, okay?"

Yinyin nodded generously: "It's good that my mother loves me. Once I've settled things on the estate, I'll definitely invite her to stay. When things aren't too busy at the manor, we can stay outside for a month or two. My mother has worked so hard all these years, she deserves to enjoy herself."

“Alright, I’ll be waiting,” Yu Miaoqi said, her interest piqued. She remembered that there was a plum tree in bloom in the small garden behind Dongchang Courtyard, so she asked someone to bring her a cloak and led Yinyin to pick a few branches to put in a vase.

"You do yours today, and I'll do mine. We'll give each other feedback once we're both done. If you win, Yinyin, I'll give you a few extra shops."

"Mother is investing so much? Then I definitely have to work hard," Yin Yin said. She didn't know if she had this idea all along or if it had suddenly come to her mind, but she was naturally happy to go along with her.

The mother and daughter put on cloaks and strolled around the small garden before busily selecting the flowers they wanted. When they returned to the house, Hongfu led Dongxin to two bowls of strong ginger soup to ward off the cold.

The two pinched their noses and gulped it down in one go, then burst into laughter at the same time.

Because they were making quite a racket, and Zhan Zheng's courtyard was nearby, he naturally heard a lot of their laughter.

Knowing what had happened, Wang Mama hesitated for a moment before saying, "Young Madam, you should have gone out with Miss Yinyin just now."

"Whether I go out or not, it's all other people's business, it has nothing to do with me," Wang Yingman said expressionlessly. "Granny Wang, I'm sleepy."

Those serving Wang Yingman were all her trusted confidants, and no one spoke of it to outsiders. Yin Yin and Yu Miaoqi naturally didn't know either, as they were busy arranging flowers.

Actually, both of their finished products had their merits, but unsurprisingly, Yin Yin won in the end.

Yu Miaoqi already had a plan in mind, but since the New Year was approaching, she couldn't make any big moves. So she said, "It's cold now, so let's not rush. We'll make sure you're busy next spring."

As the two were talking, Zhan Zheng, who had just finished his shift, came in from outside: "Who does Mother want to get busy? Yin Yin?"

Yu Miaoqi glanced at him: "Why haven't you even changed your clothes? You haven't even gone to see your wife yet?"

Zhan Zheng said without changing his expression, "But I just want to see Mother first. Is Mother not happy to see me?"
