Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

After receiving the produce from the estate, Shen Ruyin presented it to the Second Prince's residence twice.

However, it was mentioned in advance that not many were planted, and that the Second Prince, the Princess Consort, and Concubine Shen were invited to try some.

Apart from these three, there are none elsewhere.

Although it aroused the dissatisfaction of some people, the princess and Concubine Shen were satisfied. The second prince got delicious food and didn't care about the jealousy and rivalry among the other people in the mansion.

If you're so capable, have your family send it to you yourself!

Upon hearing this, Shen Ruyin laughed so hard she leaned on Concubine Shen's shoulder, unable to get up: "I never expected that person would say such a mischievous thing."

Concubine Shen covered her mouth and lowered her voice: "Don't even mention you, I didn't expect this either."

“This is also a good thing,” Shen Ruyin whispered in her ear. “His Highness the Second Prince is a reasonable person and will not lose his sense of propriety because of his affection for someone. This is a good thing for you now, Sister.”

It's a good thing for now, but in the long run, being too calm might not be good.

Concubine Shen understood her words and couldn't help but gently pat her face: "You little rascal, you know so much now, you can even teach me."

“Isn’t it true that you can’t see things clearly when you’re in the thick of it?” Shen Ruyin was not happy to accept the word “smart.” “I just told you what I saw.”

Concubine Shen's eyes flickered: "Then you'll stay out of it all the time. I hope you'll talk to me and keep an eye on me from time to time."

"Now that Your Highness is visiting my courtyard more often because of Nannan, some people in my courtyard have begun to become restless."

“Okay,” Shen Ruyin agreed, “I will definitely do my best.”

The two sisters had reached an understanding, and Concubine Shen would never involve Shen Ruyin in the competition for the emperor's favor.

Occasionally, he would invite her into the mansion so that they could chat and have a place to relax.

As time went on, it wasn't that no one realized the trick, but since Shen Ruyin rarely went out and there was nothing wrong with her, others were too lazy to bother with it.

When Xiao Nannan was five years old, Concubine Shen became pregnant again.

Upon hearing this news, Shen Ruyin paused in her act of applying makeup.

"What's wrong?" Su Jinchen asked when she stopped. "Were you startled by what you heard?"

After all, she is pregnant again after five years. According to the plot, she should actually be the eldest daughter of the older sister in the original drama.

"I was quite surprised. I need to prepare a gift in advance to congratulate my elder sister," Shen Ruyin thought for a moment, and then asked someone to put the statue of Guanyin who grants children into the box.

According to the timeline, the old emperor should have passed away when this pregnancy was around seven or eight months along, and the second prince should have ascended the throne. It's just unknown whether this will be another daughter, or if the eldest sister's son will be born prematurely.

Shen Ruyin calculated the time; she was almost thirty and had only just waited for her eldest sister to enter the palace.

If this is truly the next emperor, he is only now beginning to grow from a fertilized egg.

The finale is at least twenty years away. No way, I need to take good care of my health and live a good life.

If you accidentally lose a few years of your life, that's a lot of money!

It is said that winter is a difficult time. Even emperors, old and frail, often fall ill during the winter. After the New Year, their energy and spirit are completely depleted, making it clear to everyone that the weather is about to change.

To avoid any trouble, the old emperor finally made up his mind to let the second prince live in his palace and help with the administration.

Other princes were still dissatisfied, but at this point, no matter how unwilling the old emperor was, he had to prioritize the stability of the court. He directly confined all the sons who had made small moves to their residences, and imprisoned or even beheaded all the officials involved.

The political situation is now crystal clear, and Shen Ruyin's status in the Marquis of Anping's mansion is rising higher and higher. Even the second young mistress, who has always been at odds with her, can only smile when she sees her: "Third sister-in-law, your clothes look beautiful today, they suit you very well."

The fourth and fifth young mistresses, who had entered the family a couple of years earlier, also nodded: "Third sister-in-law's makeup is also beautiful and not at all tacky."

Shen Ruyin felt not happy at all about their overt displays of closeness and flattery, but rather rather uncomfortable.

She sat down next to the eldest young mistress without any regard for her emotional intelligence, saying, "I've always dressed like this before, so why do I look so good today?"

"Sister-in-law, look at me! I look completely different this morning!"

Over the past few years, she has maintained a good relationship with the eldest son's wife, so this time, only the eldest son's wife remained calm and composed.

Hearing him say that, the eldest young mistress really looked her over carefully for a few moments before smiling and saying, "I see that my third sister-in-law is no different from usual."

Shen Ruyin breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'm relieved. I thought I was just still half asleep and that the sun was rising in the west when I woke up."

As soon as she said this, the three sisters-in-law opposite her all showed a bit of embarrassment on their faces.

Shen Ruyin ignored them and took a pastry from the table: "Mother's plum blossom cake is still so delicious."

Madam Wang came out from inside, pretending not to know about their lawsuit, and instructed them: "It is the dead of winter now. When you go out to visit others, be mindful of your behavior and do not cause any trouble."

Shen Ruyin and the others stood up and agreed.

Madam Wang nodded and told everyone else to leave first, leaving only the eldest young mistress and Shen Ruyin behind.

"Yinyin, although these are turbulent times, Consort Shen is about to give birth. When you go back, please have people make preparations. If someone from over there comes to invite you, don't delay."

“Don’t worry, Mother,” Shen Ruyin said. “I’ve packed everything up, but I don’t know if I’ll still be needed now.”

“That’s the master. As subjects, we can only wait for the master’s orders,” Madam Wang said gently. “If they allow you to go, you should take good care of Concubine Shen. As long as she gives birth to this child safely, her good days are yet to come.”

Perhaps it's true that things in this world just can't withstand being talked about. Madam Wang only brought up this matter in the morning, and by the afternoon, someone from the Second Prince's residence had come to invite her.

"The princess said that she shouldn't have bothered Madam Su so early, but things were busy in the manor, and she had to go to the palace often. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to take good care of Concubine Shen, so she wanted to ask Madam Su to come to the manor earlier."

Shen Ruyin quickly agreed: "It is my honor to share the Princess's burdens. May I ask when the Princess will come to the residence?"

The visitor said, "The princess is busy, so she said that if the lady is willing, she can go to Concubine Shen's place first thing tomorrow morning."

This was quite urgent. Shen Ruyin politely saw the person out, then turned back and went to the study to find Su Jinchen.

When she entered, Su Jinchen was still engrossed in reading a book, seemingly completely unaffected by her movements.

But upon closer inspection, Shen Ruyin noticed that he was holding the book upside down, clearly indicating that it was just a cover-up.

She snatched the book directly from Su Jinchen's hand: "Third brother, I'm going to the Second Prince's residence first thing tomorrow morning."

"Oh," Su Jinchen replied listlessly, "I'll take you there tomorrow."

Shen Ruyin laughed, threw the book on the table, and cupped his face in her hands: "I haven't even left the house yet, and you're already missing me?"
