Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

If Yinyin had made her decision so easily simply because of the Prince of Yangliao's appearance, her father would certainly have had to expend a great deal of effort to dissuade her. But since his children were ambitious, he had no choice but to carefully consider their opinions.

Of course, if it were Chu Yun, his father would still continue to persuade him, even if his son had such ambition, he wouldn't have the brains for it.

After thinking for a long time, Chu's father finally asked after dinner, "Yinyin, are you really not going to reconsider?"

Yinyin replied to him, "Dad, where could there be a better opportunity than this?"

"If you still can't figure it out, why don't you just become the son-in-law of the Prince of Yangliao?"

"Anyway, he is nominally a prince of Yangliao, but he needs our Chu family's help in every aspect of his life, from food and clothing to housing and transportation."

"As long as he doesn't go to the capital, how different is he from the kind of live-in son-in-law you're looking for, Father?"

"How can you say that?" Father Chu said irritably, shooing his children out. "Children are all troublemakers, that's so true."

Chu Yun looked completely wronged: "Dad, you can talk about Yin Yin, I didn't do anything, why are you dragging me into this!"

"Just for asking that question, you deserve to be scolded," Chu's father said, closing the door behind him and leaving himself alone in his room. He sighed deeply.

In the following days, Chu's father did not mention the matter, and Yinyin did not ask about it either. She continued to be busy checking the grain planted in the village or checking the account books.

When Yin Yin finally had some free time to relax, she was surprised to discover that the bodyguard who had come out of the house to protect her was actually the male lead, Xu Yaonian.

Yin Yin pretended not to recognize him, but Xu Yaonian bowed to her as soon as he saw her, saying, "Thank you for saving my life, young lady."

"Help?" Yin Yin feigned sudden realization. "It's you! You've recovered from your injury?"

“Yes, I’ve recovered,” Xu Yaonian glanced at her, blushing slightly with embarrassment. “Miss, thank you so much for saving me and for paying my medical fees. I will definitely keep a good watch on duty and pay you back as soon as I get my wages.”

“That’s not necessary,” Yin Yin said. “When I asked someone to save you, I didn’t expect you to pay me back. If you’re so inclined, you can send the money to Dr. Qian’s clinic as well.”

"Dr. Qian often goes out for free clinics, so it would be good to receive more subsidies."

Xu Yaonian was somewhat disappointed, but quickly agreed. Seeing that Yinyin didn't seem inclined to speak, he stepped aside and diligently fulfilled his duties as a guard.

Yin Yin felt that she had already made things clear to her father, and he probably wouldn't deliberately send Xu Yaonian to her side again. So it could only be that when he was arranging people, Xu Yaonian just happened to be assigned to her.

Even after so much time has passed, Yin Yin still has to marvel at the incredible power of plot inertia. Even now, the plot continues to unfold, temporarily bringing Xu Yaonian and her together.

Unfortunately, not only did she not personally help Xu Yaonian when he was rescued, but she also didn't treat him differently or visit him multiple times just because he was handsome and had a good physique. Furthermore, she didn't take the opportunity to agree to let Xu Yaonian become her son-in-law when her father mentioned him.

Therefore, the scenario of eloping on the wedding night is destined to be impossible.

Yinyin led Qingyun ahead, admiring the scenery before them, while Xu Yaonian lagged behind, occasionally glancing up before quickly looking down again.

When they got home, Qingyun said, "Miss, should we not have Guard Xu with us next time? I've noticed he keeps looking at you."

"Is that so?" Yinyin agreed. "Then you can have someone tell the person in charge to not make any arrangements."

After Qingyun relayed the message, Yinyin indeed didn't see Xu Yaonian much anymore. Even when she occasionally ran into him, it was because Xu Yaonian was on duty.

Although Xu Yaonian seemed eager to talk to Yin Yin again, Yin Yin was busy and no one could disturb her, so they couldn't talk. After a while, Xu Yaonian gave up. Once he had enough of his monthly allowance, he did as Yin Yin had told him and sent the money to Doctor Qian.

Xu Yaonian was a new face, but he fit the aesthetic standards of the Li people. Yin Yin was not interested in him, but that didn't mean the other girls in the village ignored him.

But after hearing Yin Yin's words, Chu's father spread the word early on, saying that he would ask Doctor Qian to think of a way to help Xu Yaonian regain his memory. Otherwise, if a family loses its son or husband, wouldn't life be difficult?

The villagers all listened to the Chu family and understood Chu's father's meaning. Even if they thought Xu Yaonian was a good man, no one dared to propose marriage to him.

After much deliberation, Chu's father sent Chu Yun to his wife's home to fetch his daughter-in-law who had been staying there for a while, and then carefully investigated the matter of the Prince of Yangliao.

Only after learning that the Prince of Yangliao had been rejected in his engagement and had been separately contacted by the Crown Prince and compensated with money did Chu's father reluctantly relent.

Rather than showing no anger, being forced by the Crown Prince to abandon the pursuit of this reason would be more acceptable to Chu's father.

Of course, most importantly, after the King of Yangliao came to Yangliao, although he did seem to have no temper, he was good to the people and had a good reputation among them.

Although the Yangliao Prince's Mansion was not wealthy, he never thought of having people plunder treasures from the people to fill his private treasury.

With Chu's father agreeing, the Yangliao Prince's Mansion quickly sent a letter to the capital.

One letter was presented to the emperor, while the other was delivered to the Eastern Palace.

Soon, the emperor's reply arrived, granting permission, and even the betrothal gifts prepared according to the law were ready.

The Prince of Yangliao's mansion sent an official matchmaker to their door in a grand procession. Only then did Chu's father say to Yin Yin, "Knowing that we need the Crown Prince's help to accomplish this matter, the Prince is a thoughtful person."

"This is both a good thing and a bad thing. In the future, when you are with the prince, if he is clear-headed, you can't fool him like a fool."

"Don't worry, Father," Yin Yin said, looking at her father who was still worried about her. "I'm living right under your nose, how could I not be doing well?"

Only then did Father Chu show a slight smile as he went out to greet the guests.

The King of Yangliao had no elders here, and no princes or ministers would travel thousands of miles to stand up for him. So today, the person who came with the official matchmaker was Wenruo, his maternal uncle.

Chu's father was prepared for this, so he was not angry at the moment. He calmly agreed to the marriage with Wenruo and also put forward his most important requirements.

The wedding date cannot be rushed, and not a single step of the ceremony can be omitted.

This was a reasonable request, and Wenruo naturally agreed, even taking the initiative to suggest many things that would benefit the Chu family.

The Chu family had previously made exorbitant demands on Yin Yin, but that was only for outsiders. Now that Yin Yin was about to become their nephew's wife, the Chu family certainly couldn't treat her harshly.

With the engagement already arranged, the Prince of Yangliao could only take advantage of Yinyin's trip into the city to formally send an invitation to her.

Qingxiao glanced at the post: "Girl, horseback riding and hunting are your forte. If you outdo the prince, won't he be unhappy?"

Yinyin was amused by her question: "Why don't you go and see for yourself?"

Qingxiao was overjoyed to be able to go out and play, and immediately said that she would open her eyes wide and watch carefully.

Qingyun came in from outside the door: "Miss, there are rumors outside that Guard Xu has regained his memory and plans to resign and return to his hometown. He wants to thank you again. Would you like to meet him?"
