Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Yin Yin and Yu Shuming also have days off without classes. In accordance with his previous promise to Yin Yin, Yu Shuming applied to his parents before the day off to take his younger sister to the workshop under his name.

However, after finding out that the address was in a remote mountain area, neither Yu's father nor Lady Xun agreed.

After all, the mountains and forests are teeming with wild animals, and the parents wouldn't feel at ease with their two children, no matter how many guards they had.

This is the first time that Yu Shuming has gone back on his word in front of Yin Yin.

However, Yin Yin was not unhappy. Instead, she comforted Yu Shuming, saying, "Big brother can take me when he's a little older!"

Looking at his understanding sister, Yu Shuming thought for a moment and said, "Since I said it but didn't do it, I'll give Yinyin a gift as an apology."

"An apology?" Yin Yin said immediately. "Although I'm not angry with you, brother, I still need something. What nice things are you going to give me, brother?"

Yu Shuming said mysteriously, "You'll find out this afternoon."

"Big brother, you're teasing us again," Yin Yin thought, her heart pounding like a cat. She barely made it through noon before following Yu Shuming closely.

Yu Shuming told her to be patient, but he kept a smile on his face and was mindful of his pace as he walked. When he reached a higher threshold, he knew to wait.

Lady Xun didn't know what game the siblings were playing. She asked a couple of questions, then left it at that.

As the sun began to set, someone came to Yu Shuming's study to report: "Your Highness, the ferocious beast you ordered has arrived."

"A ferocious beast?" Yin Yin glanced at Yu Shuming. "Big brother, you didn't just send a tiger, did you?!"

“No,” Yu Shuming said, having someone bring the items in, and then to Yin Yin, “but if you want them, I can have someone go find them.”

"This...is that unnecessary?" Although she knew that some wild beasts could be tamed and become affectionate by raising them from a young age, Yin Yin did not intend to risk herself in her current state. She would wait until she was older and her martial arts and internal strength were more advanced before making a decision.

Just as Yinyin finished speaking, a stranger carrying a basket came in.

The man bowed and placed the basket on the ground.

Yu Shuming led Yinyin to the basket on his back. Seeing that it was covered with a cloth, he asked, "Do you want to lift it yourself, or should I do it?"

“I’ll do it,” Yin Yin said expectantly, reaching out to lift the cloth covering the top.

Upon seeing what was inside, Yin Yin suppressed her excitement and asked, "What is this? It looks like a little mouse, how can it be called a ferocious beast?"

“A metal-eating beast,” Yu Shuming also liked the little dumpling very much. “I heard it was born a few days ago, but it was weak and was abandoned near my workshop.”

"If you don't want to raise it, I'll keep it myself."

"It was supposed to be for me, why do you want it back? No, no," Yinyin quickly covered it back up with the cloth. "Big brother, if you really like it, I'll reluctantly agree to let you come and see it."

Yu Shuming chuckled and let Yin Yin have someone take it away, also arranging for someone skilled in raising iron-eating beasts for Yin Yin.

Back in her room, Yinyin lay down beside the basket, looking at the little ugly creature, and finally couldn't resist gently touching it.

In less than two months, the little iron-eating beast's fur grew thicker and thicker, and because it was well-groomed, it felt very nice to the touch.

Yinyin liked it so much that she wanted to hug it wherever she went.

However, if Yu Shuming were to see her, he would definitely try to take a hug from Yin Yin.

Lady Xun also liked this little creature very much, and sometimes she would play with it by feeding it milk in a basin.

However, it was from this little thing that the family finally realized that Yin Yin's strength seemed to be unusually great.

Holding this little thing for a long time, even adults would find it a bit heavy. Yin Yin is only four years old, but she can be carried all the way from the residence to the main house and then to Yu Shuming's study.

When the little iron beast grew a bit bigger and was able to run around with Yin Yin, news suddenly came that the messenger sent by the capital to Qin County had already entered the territory of Sichuan.

Upon receiving this news, Zhen County began to prepare for the cleanup, and Yu Shuming's weapons workshop was hidden even deeper.

The day before the envoy arrived in Qin County, Yu Shuming summoned Yin Yin to his study.

"Brother, did you find out what happened?"

Yu Shuming sat behind his desk: "Is it possible that I knew what was going on all along?"

"Oh dear, I forgot," Yin Yin said, sticking out her tongue sheepishly. "Then why did the capital send an envoy out?"

"In order to prevent the princes from rebelling, the princes of various families were summoned to the capital to stay for a long time."

"Isn't this just going to the capital as a hostage?" Yin Yin frowned. "Which traitor, afraid of death, came up with this again?"

“You guessed right,” Yu Shuming laughed. “It was the Prime Minister. His son embezzled half of the stipends meant for the various vassal kings, so the Prime Minister came up with this idea to clean up his son’s mess.”

Yinyin snorted: "This treacherous villain knows how to cherish his son, but unfortunately his son is hopeless. As soon as he kicks the bucket, his family will be devoured alive by those who have been waiting for him. I wonder if this counts as the evil being punished by the evil."

As she spoke, Yin Yin turned her attention to Yu Shuming: "Big brother, you're still laughing? The envoy will arrive tomorrow, aren't you going to think of a solution?"

“What’s there to be afraid of?” Yu Shuming said. “If he calls me away, I’ll just go with him. I can take this opportunity to go out and take care of some business.”

"It's just that I can't ask my parents to help look after some of the things under my name."

Seeing his gaze fall on her, Yin Yin turned her head to meet his eyes: "Big brother, do you mean you wanted me to come?"

Yu Shuming nodded: "You don't dare?"

Yinyin blinked and said slowly, "I don't have any fears, but I don't know if you're at ease with me, brother."

“What do I have to worry about with you?” Yu Shuming said. “Besides, the managers are all here, so there’s no need for you to do anything.”

Yin Yin understood. It was said that she was to be in charge of Yu Shuming's affairs, but in reality, it was just a title to give her some experience.

This time, Yin Yin agreed even more readily.

Yu Shuming was very satisfied with her attitude and gave her a well-organized booklet as well: "Take this back and take a look. These are the things you'll be in charge of later."

Yinyin obediently agreed, accepted the booklet, and took the little iron-eating beast back home.

The next day, the envoy from the capital arrived close to noon, and Yu's father had an incense table set out to welcome him.

However, the imperial decree was not quite what Yu Shuming had anticipated.

"What? Let Yinyin go to the capital?"

Yu's father also frowned: "Is this imperial decree wrong? Don't other families all summon their heirs to the capital?"

The eunuch delivering the decree put on a fawning smile and bowed, saying, "That's true for other families, but for Your Highness, it's all thanks to His Majesty's grace."
