Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

"Why did you bring this up, Father?" Yin Yin asked, feigning surprise. "I remember that person was still at Doctor Qian's clinic?"

“It’s him,” Father Chu laughed. “Little Xu is almost fully recovered now, but he has amnesia and doesn’t remember where he lives. What do you think about me having him work as a guard in our house?”

"Him?" Yin Yin frowned. "He was still missing for life just a few days ago, and now he's a bodyguard?"

“How can a good person be the same as a person in trouble?” Chu’s father praised in front of Yin Yin. “He is handsome, reliable, capable, meticulous, strong, and knows some martial arts.”

"He's just worried about where to go after leaving the clinic, so having him work for our family would be the best of both worlds, wouldn't it?"

Chu Yun, who hadn't gone out with his father, sensed something was amiss: "Father, are you looking for bodyguards? It sounds more like you're choosing a son-in-law to me."

The father choked, glaring at his son: "What do you know!"

"I just think Xiao Xu is a good person. If you want to marry Yin Yin, you need to observe him for a while longer."

Yinyin immediately said, "It's one thing to be a bodyguard, but as for others, someone like him is the worst to look at. Father, don't even think about it."

Father Chu hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong?"

“It’s a huge problem,” Yin Yin said. “No matter how good his talent is, this amnesia alone is not enough.”

Seeing the disapproval on Chu's father's face, Yinyin continued, "At his age, how do you know he hasn't married and had children back in his hometown?"

"He may have forgotten now, but who knows when he might remember again in the future."

"Tell me, if he really marries a girl from here, but then suddenly remembers his wife and children back home, how will his future wife cope?"

Before Chu's father could express his opinion, Chu Yun said, "Yinyin is right. Such people are not as good as those from our neighborhood, at least we know their background."

Father Chu only had a vague idea in mind, but his daughter immediately suppressed it, saying, "How could I not take a closer look at something so important?"

Yinyin and her brother exchanged a glance, neither of them wanting to offend their father.

Father Chu cleared his throat: "Yinyin, how was your trip to the city? Did it go smoothly?"

“Not bad,” Yin Yin relayed the suggestion from the Prince of Yangliao, and before her father could get angry, she added, “Father, could you investigate the Prince of Yangliao for me again?”

“Yinyin,” Chu’s father frowned deeply, “this Prince Yangliao is really not a good match for me.”

Seeing that Yin Yin was indeed considering the King of Yangliao, Chu's father blurted out his own thoughts.

“The Prince of Yangliao looks like a little girl, so weak that even a little bit of weight on his shoulders would crush him. How can someone like that protect you in the future?”

"Besides, this Prince Yangliao has too soft a temper. Anyone can sway him. He even tolerated his fiancée slapping him in the face."

"If he had found a way to retaliate later, that would have been one thing, but he didn't even dare to do that. He has absolutely no manliness."

The more Chu's father spoke, the more disgusted he became: "He's a joke in the capital. Tell me, how can such a person be your husband?"

Unaffected by her father's words, Yin Yin continued, "Besides this, Father, have you found out anything else about the Prince of Yangliao?"

“No, he’s practically invisible in the capital. Even the palace maids avoid him,” Father Chu paused. “But aren’t all those who said he was no good enough?”

Yinyin nodded, and said somewhat shyly, "Father, I just like the appearance of the Prince of Yangliao."

The father's face was practically contorted with worry. When he looked at Yin Yin, his eyes were filled with the question, "Are your eyes alright?"

Chu Yun belatedly realized, "No wonder so many people in the city flirted with you, Yin Yin, and you acted like you didn't know. Before, Dad and I thought you were just too young to understand, but it turns out you just don't like them!"

"Brother, you call that flirting?" Yin Yin felt speechless when she thought about it.

It's not that all strong men are ugly; there are actually quite a few good-looking ones. Many have average faces but a lot of charisma. But as the saying goes, the worst thing is to be handsome and aware of it.

The person, who usually speaks quite normally, suddenly became greasy before Yin Yin could even feel any appreciation for him, as he tried too hard to exude charm.

Although Yin Yin used to have her own preferences, she could appreciate all kinds of styles as long as the face was pretty.

But this time, there was a reason why she was forced to be so amazed by the King of Yangliao.

"Bro, are you sure they're not just having an eye twitch, or trying to block my way and beat me up?"

Chu's father and Chu Yun were speechless and could only sigh, lamenting that their daughter/sister still hadn't figured things out!

Chu's father advised her, "That's only because those people in the past weren't good enough. Yinyin, don't let the Prince of Yangliao in front of you dazzle you. In a few days, when your brother picks up your sister-in-law, he'll take you out for a walk. Once you've seen more, you'll understand the benefits."

“After seeing so many, they’re all the same,” Yin Yin replied. “Most men in our Li Kingdom are like this. It’s hard to find a scholar like the one from the Ming Kingdom.”

“What can a scholar do?” Chu’s father scoffed. “Many unfaithful men are scholars, not to mention they are not even from our country.”

“Doesn’t this just make the Prince of Yangliao even more precious?” Yinyin gestured for the servants inside to leave, and then told Qingyun to stand guard at the door before saying, “Besides, no matter how many people you bring, Father, they are not the Prince of Yangliao.”

Chu's father put on a stern face: "Yinyin, this is a matter of your whole life, why are you bringing this up?"

Yin Yin tilted her head, the candlelight shining on her profile: "I just feel that the Prince of Yangliao's temperament may not be good for others, but it's just right for me."

“Father, elder brother,” Yin Yin lowered her voice, “don’t you think it would be better to have complete control of Yangliao than to be a local tyrant?”

If the Prince of Yangliao were overly clever, Yin Yin would have to think twice. But the Prince of Yangliao is someone she can control with a little effort, isn't that a perfect coincidence?

With Yinyin around, the Chu family's business has grown even larger than before. However, due to insufficient protection, they can only pay money to avoid being exploited by outsiders.

Even in their home base of Yangliao, they had to keep a low profile, lest a reckless local official arrive and cause a conflict, in which case the Chu family would definitely suffer.

When she was little, Yin Yin was unconvinced, but after analyzing the situation, she realized that neither the Li Kingdom nor the Ming Kingdom could easily shake their rule when they were at their peak.

When one cannot change the environment, one can only adapt. Yin Yin tried to train the guards and bodyguards, but she still couldn't go too far.

But if she becomes the Princess Consort of Yangliao, Yinyin can be her own protector.

Even if he doesn't become the sole ruler, governing Yangliao well will not arouse suspicion in the capital.

Why is it that the people of Li Kingdom don't respect the abilities of their vassal king, but only criticize his incompetence?
