Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Neither Yin Yin nor Chu Yun could voice any objection to his words.

“Father,” Yin Yin said, “since it’s about the old house of my maternal grandparents, why don’t I or my brother go there?”

Chu Yun nodded in agreement: "Yes, if either Yin Yin or I go, even if others find out our identities, they won't say anything."

Father Chu shook his head: "You are all too young, I'll handle it."

"When I get back after I've finished this, I'll be able to have a proper chat with your mother on the anniversary of her death."

Chu's father was a native of the Li state, while Chu's mother was a relative of an official from the Ming state who had been exiled to the border. In the end, Chu's mother had almost no one left in her family, which is why she agreed to go with Chu's father.

After getting married, Chu's mother was able to live a happy life again. Unfortunately, she had suffered too much hardship before, and her health was not good. No matter how carefully she was cared for, she could not live for more than a few years.

Yinyin was young at the time, but she remembered her mother's longing for her childhood home.

That's right, not my homeland, but my former home.

At that time, the Chu family's business had not grown to such a large scale, and the old house of Chu's mother's family had been transferred to the Li family.

Although Chu's mother can no longer see it, Chu's father still wants to buy the house back, even if there's only a sliver of a chance, just to hold onto that hope.

Having made this decision, Father Chu didn't hesitate and quickly packed his things and left.

He won't be back for at least several months now that he's gone.

Fu Yuanzhou's long-awaited wedding date had to be postponed again, but opportunities never wait for anyone, and because of his mother-in-law's last wish, he had no choice but to wait.

However, after Chu's father left, Fu Yuanzhou still felt some benefits. At least he could visit Yinyin more often now, and if he stayed a little later, he could stay overnight.

When Yinyin goes to the city, she can stay for a few more days.

If it weren't for the wedding being delayed, Fu Yuanzhou would have thought this was a life of paradise.

Perhaps even God couldn't bear to see him living too happily, because Uncle Wen suddenly brought him some news.

"Uncle, what did you say?" Fu Yuanzhou took two steps forward anxiously, "The court intends for me to marry that princess from the Ming Dynasty?"

"How is that possible? What are my brothers in the court doing? They can't even seize such a good opportunity and instead try to push it onto me."

"No, no, Yinyin can't know about this. I'll write a letter right away."

Uncle Wen didn't stop him: "Your Highness, it's good that you've made your stance clear in advance. Now, we're not afraid that the Emperor really has this idea; we're just afraid that he deliberately instructed his subordinates to drag you out."

Fu Yuanzhou replied, "What do you mean 'not afraid' but 'only afraid'? I'm afraid of everything!"

“Those people in the capital have always treated me like I’m invisible. The fact that they suddenly promoted me must be part of a conspiracy.”

"Besides, I've already said I want to marry Yin Yin. I don't care who the others are, they're not marrying me because they like me."

Uncle Wen sighed. Actually, when he first heard the news, he was quite tempted. But their Yangliao temple was too small to withstand the storms of the capital. Besides, his prince was determined to be with Miss Chu, and the two young people were so sweet together, which he thought was perfect.

Fu Yuanzhou took a few steps and realized that his uncle hadn't followed, so he turned around and called to him. He could write letters by himself, but he needed his uncle's help to polish the formal memorials.

Uncle Wen gathered his chaotic thoughts and hurried to his side.

Uncle Wen picked up his pen and looked at the paper spread out in front of him, feeling that these past few years had been the most worrisome years of his life. Even though he was neither married nor had children, he now deeply felt the difficulty of raising children when facing his nephew, the Prince.

Fu Yuanzhou, unaware of his thoughts, diligently ground the ink for him and instructed the people in the Fu residence to keep their mouths shut and not to talk about it outside, especially not to let Yinyin know.

He had a good plan, intending to handle things himself before making any decisions, but Yin Yin knew about it even earlier than he did.

The reason Yin Yin didn't reveal it was because she knew more about the inside story than he did.

Fu Yuanzhou and the others were right about this. People in the capital had brought him up because several princes of marriageable age were vying for him, and the Crown Prince was willing to reserve a concubine position for him.

The dispute was getting too heated, so the emperor randomly selected Fu Yuanzhou, who was not in the capital, to temporarily silence them.

However, the emperor never truly considered him; otherwise, he would have summoned him back to the capital long ago instead of leaving him in such a remote place as Yangliao.

Of course, Yin Yin didn't reveal it either, in order to see how Fu Yuanzhou planned to handle the situation.

It was expected that Fu Yuanzhou wouldn't tell her after learning about this, but it was somewhat unexpected that he wrote those two letters to the Emperor and the Crown Prince, and that other princes seized the opportunity to spread them around, letting everyone know that he didn't like the Ming princess and only liked his fiancée.

But upon closer reflection, it seems like something he's capable of doing.

For this reason, Yinyin specially made him a set of clothes by hand.

Upon receiving the clothes, Fu Yuanzhou was overjoyed, almost in disbelief. But after his initial excitement, he took Yin Yin's hand and said, "Making clothes is tiring and troublesome. We have embroiderers at home, so there's no need for you to do it yourself, Yin Yin."

"Just do it once, don't do it again."

Yinyin told him to change into it so she could see it: "I made this for you as a reward."

"A reward?" Fu Yuanzhou suddenly realized something. "Yinyin, you already know!"

Yinyin nodded with a smile, then chided, "Why didn't you tell me?"

“I was thinking of handling this before telling you,” Fu Yuanzhou said, his earlobes burning slightly. “Anyway, I only recognize you as my wife.”

Yinyin looked at him with affectionate eyes, asking him to promise her, "Next time something like this happens, no matter what it is, you have to tell me first. I don't want to hear things from other people who have passed on the word countless times."

Fu Yuanzhou quickly agreed: "Okay, I promise I won't hide anything from you from now on."

“I’ve got it,” Yin Yin said, then gently nudged him. “Go change your clothes quickly, let me see if they fit.”

“It will definitely fit perfectly,” Fu Yuanzhou said as he went out, returning shortly after to show her the fit.

Yinyin has a good sense of aesthetics, her color matching is also appropriate, and her craftsmanship is even better. The clothes she makes not only fit well, but also match Fu Yuanzhou very well, making him look even more handsome.

Fu Yuanzhou already treasured this outfit, and seeing the undisguised admiration in Yin Yin's eyes, he cherished it even more.

After Yinyin left, he carefully took it off and instructed the servants to put it in a small box separately.

"I'll take it out and give it to me the day after my wedding to the princess."
