Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

The next day, when paying her respects, Madam Wang indeed asked Shen Ruyin the same question again. Shen Ruyin still refused, and Madam Wang sighed and let her go.

When Shen Ruyin said this, the eldest young mistress was sitting beside her, and her expression towards her was even more gentle.

After leaving Madam Wang's place, the eldest young mistress asked her, "It's still early, would you like to come and sit at my place for a while, Third Sister-in-law?"

Seeing that the weather was fine, Shen Ruyin naturally agreed.

However, she didn't go every time after that.

Visiting once or twice every few days provides both personal space and prevents the feeling of distance.

With Madam Wang's apparent support and the eldest young mistress's leniency, Shen Ruyin lived a more comfortable life in the Su family than she did in her own family.

She has learned to turn a blind eye to many of the rules and regulations that Rong Momo taught her, except when dealing with outsiders, and no longer brings them up all the time.

If it weren't for the second young mistress occasionally jumping out to show off her abilities, Shen Ruyin would feel that such a life was simply blissful like that of a god.

Unfortunately, without cell phones and the internet, even the best days are always a little less fun.

After all, most storybooks these days are pretty much the same, just the fantasies of some filthy men, and not many are to one's liking.

When Qingzhi found out, she said to her, "Didn't you say that the Third Young Master is handsome and that just looking at him makes you want to eat several more bowls of rice?"

“That’s called being so beautiful it’s edible,” Shen Ruyin corrected her.

But Shen Ruyin was too embarrassed to say that no matter how delicious rice is, it is indispensable. After eating it for a long time, she would always want to change the taste.

Su Jinchen was handsome, and she was instantly captivated by him, but that's precisely why she couldn't look at him all the time.

With a mobile phone, you can also look at other male bodhisattvas to change your taste.

But in this era, for a married woman like her to want to see men dressed like that dancing was a grave sin.

Shen Ruyin sighed again: "If only my older sister were here."

Seeing that she was bored, Rong Momo also remembered the news she had just heard.

"Does the young lady still remember Concubine Gao?"

Shen Ruyin became interested: "Is it the one from the Second Prince's residence?"

Rong Momo nodded: "That's right."

"We received word that this concubine, Gao, is pregnant."

"Really?" Shen Ruyin sat up straight, her brows furrowing slightly, her mind racing with thoughts of how things had come to this.

Concubine Gao's child was unlikely to be born safely, and her favor and life were about to come to an end.

But after Concubine Gao died, the eldest sister was able to gradually show her merits and emerge from the second prince's harem.

However, compared to Concubine Gao's sharp and assertive nature, the eldest sister did not initially show any signs of being the most favored, and naturally did not incur the princess's suspicion.

When the eldest sister became pregnant, it was also the final crucial moment in the struggle for the throne.

At such a time, even the smallest mistake would be magnified. The princess was also reluctant to give up the soon-to-be-won empress's position, so of course she wouldn't sabotage the second prince.

Besides, with the royal physician present, the princess already knew it was a daughter, so she wouldn't have taken it to heart.

However, this daughter really knew how to pick her birth date, arriving at the auspicious time of her father's ascension to the throne. She was born at full term, and thus was remembered by the new emperor.

No one knew what Shen Ruyin was thinking. However, the servants around her, seeing her deep in thought and with her brows furrowed, assumed she was worried about the eldest young lady.

Fearing she might be overthinking things, Rong Mama quickly reassured her, "Young Madam, don't worry. Concubine Shen's good days are yet to come. In this palace, it's not that people aren't pregnant, it's that they're pregnant but can't give birth."

"This concubine Gao made a big fuss about her pregnancy as soon as it started, and with her personality, I'm afraid she won't be able to protect the child."

Shen Ruyin came to her senses and, upon hearing these words, knew that Rong Mama was trying to comfort her, but was also giving her a serious warning.

"Granny, please don't say such things again. If something really happens and outsiders find out, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you."

"Besides, I'm just worried about my sister."

Only after Rong Mama nodded did Shen Ruyin remember what she had just said.

"The old woman just said that the palace already knows?"

"Yes, the news came from the palace," which is why Rong Momo dared to make that assertion just now that Concubine Gao could not protect the child.

Being so arrogant is practically telling people to come and harm me.

If you don't have a solid foundation behind you, then you're just being incredibly foolish.

No wonder she's someone who's worked her way up in the palace; she's really clever. Shen Ruyin thought, "Isn't this exactly what happened to Concubine Gao?"

Shen Ruyin finally realized what she should do.

“Granny, I’m straightforward and not good at speaking. I don’t have many interests in the mansion, and no one takes me seriously, which is why I can live a peaceful life.”

"But I think that if a person is always content to live such a muddled life, he won't be able to withstand any setbacks in the future."

"So, could you please teach me more, and analyze these matters concerning both the outside world and the inner quarters with me?"

"Besides... I know I can't really help my older sister much. But I've learned a lot, so at least I know not to hold her back, I can understand her difficulties, and I want her to know that there's always someone who cares about her."

Since things have come to this point, and it's not about harming anyone, Rong Momo naturally wouldn't disagree, as she still needed Shen Ruyin to support her in her old age.

Between a truly foolish master and a master who appears foolish but is actually wise, the latter will certainly live longer.

"If the young mistress needs my help, I will not hold back. But when the time comes, please don't distance yourself from me out of fear."

“How could that be?” Shen Ruyin said, “It was I who asked you for guidance, so you can be considered my master.”

Granny Rong hurriedly said she dared not.

“What’s there to be afraid of?” Shen Ruyin pulled her to sit down beside her. “They say that those who are capable come first, and in these matters, I’m far behind. You’re willing to teach me, Granny, and I’m benefiting greatly!”

“If I weren’t already married and had to consider my third brother’s feelings, I would still want to recognize you as my godmother.”

Rong Momo was somewhat moved, but quickly stopped her: "Young Madam, you dare not say such a thing."

“I’m just speaking my mind,” Shen Ruyin leaned on Rong Mama’s shoulder. “My mother died young, and over the years, I’ve gotten used to it.”

“But I know you’re good to me, so I also…”

Shen Ruyin was silent for a moment, then clasped her hands together with Rong Momo's: "Anyway, it's a promise. I'll take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die. You can't leave my side no matter what."
