Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

When Yin Yin first entered the palace, Young Master Qi was still able to study properly at home.

But after only a few days, Young Master Qi could no longer keep up and became increasingly perfunctory in his studies and martial arts practice.

When his friends sent letters to his residence, inviting him to go out and play, Young Master Qi could no longer resist and used this excuse to frequently go out.

As for his earlier vow to use this time to study hard and widen the gap between himself and Yin Yin, he had long since forgotten about it.

At this moment, Yin Yin sat in the classroom and successfully completed the teacher's test. Only then did Young Master Qi belatedly begin to feel nervous.

"Yinyin, you went to the palace to study?"

"No," Yin Yin saw her uncle breathe a sigh of relief, and then slowly added, "But His Majesty sometimes tests me with a few questions, and occasionally tells me some allusions, so I've learned a little more, haven't I?"

Young Master Qi opened the book and began to read with the most seriousness he had shown in the past month or two.

The Master saw this scene from above and gently shook his head.

Consort Shu was pregnant and had no time to take care of herself, so she naturally couldn't bring Yin Yin to the palace. Therefore, Yin Yin spent most of the summer with her uncle.

At first, Young Master Qi found it difficult to endure, but as the weather gradually warmed up, he gave up the idea of ​​going out and studying became a habit.

Although the efficiency wasn't always very high, Grandpa Qi and his wife were already very satisfied.

Yin Yin was also very satisfied; she had learned some basic techniques for the weapons she had come into contact with and used.

Whether Master Wu's teaching was good or not is another matter, but in any case, Yin Yin was nominally able to use all of them.

However, what she likes most in her daily life is still the small wooden sword that her father used when he was a child.

When Grandpa Qi first saw this small wooden sword, he was stunned for a moment before instructing Yin Yin to use it properly.

As summer passed, the leaves on the trees in the yard gradually turned yellow, and when the wind blew, they swirled and fell from the branches.

One morning, Yinyin went outside and saw a blanket of frost, realizing with a start that the weather had truly turned cold.

Madam Qi specially instructed the nanny to change Yin Yin into a dress for receiving guests, and also appointed Ru Hua to accompany her, before leading Yin Yin into the carriage.

"Grandmother, whose house are we visiting?"

Madam Qi replied, "We are visiting Yinyin's maternal grandparents' home."

"Grandfather has returned to Beijing?" This was the first time Yin Yin had heard of this.

Her maternal grandfather's family, the Cheng family, were officials who were away from home for many years. It was said that they only sent her uncle back to the capital once, when her mother passed away. Their daily interactions with the family were mainly limited to exchanging gifts during festivals.

Although it was Yin Yin's maternal grandparents' family, the Cheng family rarely gave her anything extra.

Grandpa Qi and his wife never discussed the Cheng family's merits or demerits in front of Yin Yin, but Yin Yin could sense that the Cheng family didn't actually care much about her.

So when it was suddenly announced that they were going to the Cheng family's house, Yin Yin didn't have much expectation.

Just as Yin Yin had expected, when she arrived at the Cheng family, no one knew each other. Even though Yin Yin was the eldest granddaughter, the old man and his wife were only superficially friendly and not very sincere.

As for Yin Yin's deceased mother, Madam Cheng only cried a couple of times before forgetting about her.

Yinyin glanced at the Cheng family's situation and immediately understood the reason.

The Cheng family has many descendants; the previous generation had five sons and six daughters, and this generation has even more grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Currently, there is one granddaughter and one granddaughter living with Madam Cheng.

Yin Yin's mother was the third among her sisters, neither particularly outstanding nor insignificant.

Even fingers are of different lengths, and people's hearts naturally have their biases, so what Yin Yin felt was more politeness than intimacy.

After lunch, Madam Qi was about to take Yin Yin back home, so the Cheng family symbolically let Yin Yin stay for a few more days.

When Madam Qi saw Yin Yin pretending to be shy and hiding behind her, she knew he didn't want to stay, so she naturally refused on his behalf.

As they boarded the carriage for the return journey, Old Madam Qi stroked Yin Yin's hair: "Next time you come, will you come by yourself, or with your grandmother?"

"Yinyin will go with her grandmother," Yinyin made the decision without even thinking.

With a smile on her lips, Madam Qi said, "You child, you're never this clingy on ordinary days. Why are you so shy at your maternal grandparents' house?"

Yinyin didn't say anything bad about the Cheng family, but just held her grandmother's arm and said, "Yinyin just wants to be with Grandma."

Madam Qi gently tapped the tip of her nose: "You're being coquettish again."

The grandmother and granddaughter left the Cheng family home relatively early and were not in a hurry to return to the mansion immediately, so Old Madam Qi planned to take Yin Yin for a stroll outside.

Unexpectedly, the carriage had only gone a short distance into the street when Madam Qi heard her youngest son's familiar voice.

"You won't admit you're stupid. Last time I bumped into you, you were being harassed by someone who thought you were a sucker. How come this time, you bumped into someone just by standing there?"

"Stop the carriage," Old Madam Qi called for it to stop by the roadside, then asked, "What's going on?"

The maidservant who served Madam Qi went to inquire for a few minutes and then returned to say, "It's the young master of the Liu family who was extorted. The young master knew the whole story and exposed the person. Right now, he's... talking to the young master Liu."

"How can language be considered an art?" Yin Yin pondered absently. "Judging from my uncle's sarcastic tone just now, it might be more accurate to call it mockery."

Upon hearing this, Madam Qi sighed and instructed, "Go and call him over."

The maidservant went as instructed, and soon the commotion outside ceased.

"Mother, Yinyin, are you going back so soon?"

Madam Qi didn't answer his pointless question, but instead asked, "Shouldn't you be studying at home? Why are you outside?"

Young Master Qi cleared his throat awkwardly, leaned closer to the carriage, and whispered, "Isn't this an invitation from Brother Lin and the others to a banquet?"

"But don't worry, Mother, I was just planning to go back to the manor anyway."

"Oh, right, I saw some trinkets for sale outside. Yinyin, do you want to come out and take a look? Whatever you like, your uncle will buy it for you."

Yinyin looked at Old Madam Qi expectantly.

"Go ahead," said Madam Qi with some helplessness, but she did not stop you. "Grandmother will wait for you."

Yinyin nuzzled her grandmother affectionately before lifting the curtain, walking onto the carriage shaft, and reaching out to her uncle for a hug.

Seeing Yinyin come out, and knowing that his mother didn't intend to hold it against him, Young Master Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as I turned around while holding Yinyin, I was met with a familiar face.

Young Master Qi couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Why are you still here!"

Young Master Liu said, "What, am I not allowed to come and pay my respects to my aunt?"

As he spoke, Young Master Liu turned his attention to Yin Yin: "This is Brother Qi's daughter?"
