Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

After Shen Ruyin led the people away, Madam Wang summoned her attendants and gave them instructions one by one.

Although the eldest young mistress is now in charge of the household, the Marquis's wife still has absolute control over the mansion. So, in just two hours, all the reasons were put on her desk.

Her maid, Zhao Liu's wife, couldn't help but say, "It's still a pity. If the Third Young Mistress could have been more patient, she could have gotten hold of the Second Young Mistress's weakness and openly exposed the Second Branch's true colors."

“There’s nothing to regret,” Madam Wang said with great satisfaction after looking at the items. “If all the wives of my illegitimate sons were like Yin Yin, I would be able to save myself so much trouble.”

"In the end, it is the abbot of Sanqing Temple who is truly efficacious. We should take all the others to the abbot for a check-up in the future."

If you gather evidence, even just one or two pieces, and present it to Marquis Anping, with his keen sense of the court, how could he not discover the truth?

No matter how much Marquis Anping liked his illegitimate son, he was still inevitably moved by the saying "harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things".

Shen Ruyin suffered an injustice, and although she made a scene, she only showed it to Madam Wang, which was considered giving the second branch of the family enough face.

The eldest daughter-in-law knew about this, but she didn't say a word, which clearly showed that she wanted everything to be well for the family.

Therefore, the only one who is wrong in this matter is the second young mistress who is trying to sow discord between the two.

At this point, no matter how eloquent the second young mistress is, in the eyes of Marquis Anping, who has already accepted the facts, she is wrong.

Lady Wang imagined how unhappy Marquis Anping would be, and looking at the evidence found on the table, she felt that he looked even more handsome.

"Tell Wang Liu to wait outside. As soon as the Marquis enters the mansion, go and invite him over, saying that I have something to discuss with him."

The eldest young mistress knew about Madam Wang's actions, and naturally, the second young mistress knew about them as well.

Right now, she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

A maid brought her a cup of tea, and after taking a sip, she spat it directly onto the maid's face.

"Are you kidding me? This tea is neither hot nor cold, is this how you try to fob me off?"

The maidservant quickly knelt down: "Madam, please forgive me."

"Forgive me, forgive me," the second young mistress kicked the maid, "Get out and kneel down. You can get up when I'm in a better mood."

The maid was terrified, but she had no choice but to obey and go out, kneeling at the doorway.

"What's going on?" a gentle female voice rang out. "Why are you kneeling here? Get up quickly, you poor thing, your clothes are all wet. Go back and change."

Upon hearing the voice, the second young mistress hurried towards the door. Her previous arrogant demeanor vanished instantly: "Auntie."

The second young master's mother, Aunt Zhou, came in from outside and looked at her gently: "It's such a small matter, why are you so angry?"

“But, Aunt, this time the Madam has taken action, I will definitely be found out. The Madam has always disliked our second branch of the family, and she will definitely use this opportunity to cause trouble.”

Seeing her frightened look, Aunt Zhou's eyes flashed with disdain, and she said, "If you had known this would happen, why did you do anything unnecessary?"

"Since it has already happened, why didn't you tell me sooner? Now we're in this passive situation, isn't it all your own fault?"

Once she calmed down, Aunt Zhou continued, "Alright, alright, tell me everything quickly so I can help you if I know what happened."

The second young mistress dared not hide anything and told her everything.

"Just for this?" Aunt Zhou felt utterly exasperated. "What use is this evidence if you don't admit it? Just a few words from servants, or even baseless accusations?"

"I was just worried that Madam might do something underhanded inside," the second young mistress muttered.

"Don't worry about that," Aunt Zhou said. "Madam won't get herself into trouble unless she's absolutely certain of victory. Your little matter isn't enough for her."

Aunt Zhou got up and walked out: "Remember, insist that you are the victim of the theft, and that everyone else was framed. It's not a big deal, you'll forget about it in a couple of months."

"This third young mistress is unconventional and has a reckless streak. Neither she nor the third young master seem to be vying for power. People who are without desires are the most difficult to deal with. In the future, you should avoid provoking her."

Shen Ruyin had no idea what was happening to others. After returning to the courtyard, she looked at Bailu and said, "I've already told Mother that you'll be doing cleaning from now on."

“Yes,” Bailu replied reluctantly, “Thank you, young mistress, for saving my family.”

"Go ahead," Shen Ruyin said as she went out, feeling lazy.

After Bailu left, Shen Ruyin looked at Qingluo and the other two: "When you have time, keep an eye on the people in the courtyard. After today, things should calm down for a while, but who knows how long that will last?"

The two quickly agreed, and Qingzhi glanced at her secretly, unable to resist asking, "Young Madam, why did you keep Bailu here?"

"What if, I mean what if, something like this happens again in the yard, wouldn't everyone think they're the next egret?"

“Because we lack the ability,” Shen Ruyin sighed. “Just as I said to Madam, if we drive this one out, who knows what kind of person will come next?”

"So it's better to keep her for now, lest someone with ulterior motives send in someone who is only pretending to be loyal."

As for the future...

Shen Ruyin paused for a moment: "But I still need your help to manage the shops outside well, so that I can have money to train a few honest and capable people. Only then can I freely send away the useless people."

Rong Momo nodded in agreement: "It's good that the young mistress has such a clear plan."

After returning to his residence, Marquis Anping was summoned to Lady Wang's quarters. Upon seeing the evidence, he outwardly asked if it might be a misunderstanding, but inwardly he had already condemned the second young mistress and was very unhappy.

Madam Wang saw through his thoughts, but simply said that Shen Ruyin was a good girl and she shouldn't be wronged. She had just acquired a new set of jewelry, which was suitable for young people, and she planned to send it to her.

Marquis Anping also sent Su Jinchen a jade pendant that she could use.

Shen Ruyin looked at the jade pendant, which had excellent clarity but was clearly a men's piece, and snorted, "Third brother, you've really taken advantage of me this time."

Su Jinchen quickly came over to thank her: "Thank you so much, Yinyin. Tell me, how would you like me to make it up to you?"

Shen Ruyin looked him up and down and then told the servants in the room to leave.

Shen Ruyin sat on the couch and cleared her throat: "You, you take off your nightgown and put on this gauze robe for me to see."

Su Jinchen reached out and touched the smoky gray wide-sleeved shirt, somewhat surprised: "So thin?"

“You said you wanted to make it up to me,” Shen Ruyin covered the lower half of her face with a round fan, revealing only her bright, star-like eyes. “Look, wear those pants. In this hot weather, wearing such long pants, are you trying to get heat rash?”
