Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

In a restaurant not far from the Jade Bridge, someone asked, "Who is that beside the Tenth Princess?"

Someone walked up to him and said, "She looks like a girl from the Zhan family, the one who was adopted by the eldest son. I must say, she's really pretty."

"You wouldn't happen to have taken a liking to her, would you? Putting aside the fact that the Zhan family and we are not in the same social class, just the matter between you and Zhan Shu'er back then is enough for the eldest branch of the Zhan family to avoid you. Even if this person is not their biological daughter, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky!"

The only person connected to Zhan Shu'er is Young Master Huang, whose identity is self-evident.

With his poems in hand, Young Master Huang was riding high and didn't think his friend's question was a problem. He simply replied, "It's all up to human effort."

Upon hearing this, the courtesan inside the room walked to the window and looked out as well, her tone somewhat sour: "She is indeed a girl from a noble family. Even if she is adopted, her manners and demeanor are first-rate. We can only look up to her in awe."

Upon hearing this, Young Master Huang turned around and said, "Miss Liuzhi, please don't say that. You are a talented singer and dancer, and you are gentle and beautiful. You are the dream lover of many people."

Hearing the praise, Liu Zhi lowered her head shyly, her eyes seemingly hooked. She glared at him, then glared again, before turning back to talk to the others with a flushed face.

Seeing this, the young master chuckled in a low voice, "With Brother Huang here, all the girls in the brothels of this capital city can no longer have room in their hearts for anyone else."

Young Master Huang shook his head, then looked at the jade bridge not far away, and recited: "I searched for him a thousand times in the crowd, but suddenly when I turned around, I found him where the lights were dim."

Upon hearing this, the young master's eyes lit up: "Could this be the ending of Brother Huang's poem 'Green Jade Table'? How wonderful!"

"The lantern festival is not over yet, so please don't spread the word, Brother Zhao," Young Master Huang said, shaking his folding fan with a touch of nonchalance. "But seeing this beautiful woman, I feel that no one is more fitting for this poem."

Looking at Yuqiao, Young Master Zhao silently repeated it to himself and had to admit, "Brother Huang is right. However, the Zhan family has such a fine daughter, but I had never heard of her before. It is evident that these aristocratic families raise their daughters very well."

Young Master Huang nodded, then asked casually, "How did this girl come to be adopted by the Zhan family?"

“That’s quite a long time,” Young Master Zhao laughed. “I heard she was raised by Madam Zhan from the age of three or four, but…”

Young Master Zhao lowered his voice: "I heard that when the eldest branch of the Zhan family left the capital, they were ambushed. This young lady's parents helped their master avoid a disaster, and Madam Zhan took this girl in as her daughter. Their youngest son was also freed from slavery and arranged to study and learn to read, which can be considered a change of social status."

"Oh?" Young Master Huang became wary. "I only know that the eldest branch of the Zhan family returned to the capital. They must have left the capital many years ago!"

“It must have been fifteen years,” said Young Master Zhao. “At that time, Lord Zhan was only five or six years old, and I don’t even know if that young lady was born yet. I was also young then. If it weren’t for the fact that the eldest branch of the Zhan family returned to the capital and I overheard my parents talking, I wouldn’t have known.”

"I see," Young Master Huang breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "What do you think, how about we go over and get to know each other?"

Young Master Zhao looked troubled: "The Zhan family is a prestigious family. We can let it go in private, but that young lady is, after all, a daughter of the eldest son's family. If I dare to go up and rudely approach her, my father will break my legs! I'm not going!"

Zhan Zheng and the others were unaware of what had happened in the restaurant. At this moment, Yin Yin and the Tenth Princess had already crossed the jade bridge and arrived beside them.

"Big brother," Yin Yin had just walked happily with the Tenth Princess for a while, her face flushed slightly, making her look even more adorable and healthy, "Where are we going next?"

Zhan Zheng glanced at the Sixth Prince and the Tenth Princess beside him before saying, "Judging by the time, it's time to go back to Mother's place."

He paused for a moment before asking, "What are the plans for the Sixth Young Master and the Tenth Miss next?"

Upon hearing that they were going to find Yu Miaoqi, even if the Sixth Prince wanted to continue following, he could only say, "My Tenth Sister and I need to go somewhere else for a while."

Under the Sixth Prince's slightly pleading gaze, the Tenth Princess couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly before saying to Yin Yin, "There are still fireworks later. Watching them from outside is definitely not as good as watching them from inside the restaurant. Yin Yin, why don't we go back later and stroll around together for a while until we finish watching the fireworks before we part ways?"

"Sister Yinyin?" The Sixth Prince couldn't help but repeat it from the side.

The tenth princess immediately gave him a smug look: "Sister Yinyin is younger than me, is it wrong for me to call her sister?"

“Naturally,” was Zhan Zheng’s reply.

Yinyin glanced at her cheerful elder brother and the Sixth Prince with a complicated expression before speaking: "I promised my mother that I would watch the fireworks with her when we came out earlier, but I can only disappoint my tenth sister."

The Tenth Princess had only asked the question because of the Sixth Prince, so after hearing Yin Yin's reason, she naturally wouldn't insist.

"Then we'll meet again later. I remember my mother said she also has a farm nearby, and there's a hot spring on the farm. I'll take you to see some other things then."

After Yin Yin and the other girl left, the Sixth Prince asked, "Did Tenth Sister and Sister Yin Yin make an appointment to meet again in a few days?"

The Tenth Princess raised an eyebrow: "Now you know to call her Sister Yin Yin. Why didn't you call her that when she was in front of you?"

The Sixth Prince did not argue with her as before, but waited patiently for the Tenth Princess's reply.

The Tenth Princess felt it was all rather pointless, so she relayed Yin Yin's invitation, adding at the end, "If Lord Zhan isn't here, Yin Yin only invites female guests, so don't even think about it."

The sixth prince's eyes darted around, and he had an idea in mind, but he didn't say it aloud at the moment.

After Yin Yin and her brother left, they re-entered the lantern market and soon arrived at the private room where Yu Miaoqi was.

Yu Miaoqi was drinking tea when she saw the brother and sister come in together and asked, "Are you hungry?"

While they were outside, neither of them had noticed, but now that Yu Miaoqi had asked, they both realized their stomachs were empty and immediately nodded.

Yu Miaoqi then ordered some of the best signature dishes to be served before asking them how their trip was going.

The two chatted for a while, ate some food, watched the fireworks, and then the family quickly went downstairs to leave before the crowds became too large.

They left so quickly that when the young master Huang, who was hoping to make an appearance, arrived right after them, he was completely disappointed.

Because there were many people out today, even though Yinyin and her group left early, they still encountered some traffic congestion on the road. Fortunately, they had quite a few bodyguards with them, so they weren't pushed around and were able to find a secluded alley to bypass the crowds, quickly returning home.

Yu Miaoqi and Yinyin were a little sleepy, so they went back and quickly washed up before resting. Zhan Zheng, however, upon returning to his courtyard, immediately noticed the servant standing with his head bowed at the entrance of his study.

He glanced at the room where Wang Yingman had turned off the lights, and went straight into the study.
