Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Such a beautiful face, why does it have to have a talking mouth?

Looking at the face that suited her quite well, Li Yinyin sighed inwardly. If it were someone else, how much better it would be!

"Mu Xianyun? I don't think I have anything to say to you."

Li Yinyin hid behind the maid: "Make way, I want to go home."

Mu Xianyun was taken aback and took a few steps back: "Yinyin, my mother likes you, that's why she wanted to propose marriage to your family. My mother was very angry when she heard what your family said to the matchmaker."

Li Yinyin rolled her eyes from behind. What does your mother's anger have to do with me? What, you're getting anxious now that the ungrateful child who was always rushing to give you money and gifts is gone?

“Young Master Mu, please be careful with your words,” the maidservant said, protecting Li Yinyin. “My young lady is not yet of marriageable age.”

Li Yinyin glanced at the flowers in the basket and urged, "Let's go back quickly, these flowers are going to go bad."

Li Yinyin reached out and asked the maid to pick her up, then walked straight past Mu Xianyun.

Seeing this scene, Mu Xianyun, who had been given the cold shoulder by Li Yinyin, couldn't help but purse his lips.

“Brother Yun,” Xi Jiangyue ran out from behind a big tree, “I just saw you talking to Yin Yin. Did she say something unpleasant again?”

"That's just how she is, spoiled and willful, so don't take it to heart."

Mu Xianyun's expression softened, and he looked at Xi Jiangyue gently: "Little Moon is right, her personality is nowhere near as good as yours."

Li Yinyin glanced back and couldn't help but sigh.

I hadn't gone far at all, and those two had already huddled together. Yet, apart from me, no one else noticed. Is that reasonable?

Could it be that, like in novels, the protagonist possesses a special kind of luck, and everything he does is covered up by the world's consciousness?

But that doesn't make sense. We didn't see the older sister receiving such treatment in the last world. Or is it because she's too close to the older sister that many things have been overlooked?

Li Yinyin was thinking about this the whole way home and didn't even realize she had arrived.

Yu Qiaoyun, who had already seen the flower basket, asked, "What's wrong? Did you not have fun while you were out?"

“Sister-in-law,” Li Yinyin complained to her, “you have no idea how unlucky I am. I was just about to come back when Mu Xianyun blocked my way.”

"He even said some nonsense in front of me. When my brother comes back, I'll tell him all about it!"

Yu Qiaoyun had originally planned to ask about the matter in detail, but upon hearing this, she changed her mind: "Okay, we'll tell your brother when he gets back."

Li Yinyin naturally turned the conversation to her brother: "Sister-in-law, shouldn't our eldest brother and the others have arrived by now?"

Yu Qiaoyun silently counted the days in her mind: "We've only gone about halfway, it's still a long way from when we're back."

“It’s going to take so long,” Li Yinyin puffed out her cheeks. “Why don’t you teach me to play the piano, sister-in-law? When my brother comes back, I’ll definitely surprise him!”

“Okay,” Yu Qiaoyun smiled, “but learning the piano is hard work. Once you start, you have to practice consistently to see results. If you give up halfway, all your previous efforts will be for nothing.”

Li Yinyin had studied the zither in her previous life, but she wasn't particularly skilled at it. Naturally, she wouldn't be deterred by Yu Qiaoyun's advice: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, if I'm determined to learn, I'll definitely learn it well!"

“I believe you,” Yu Qiaoyun praised, “Yinyin, your handwriting is better than mine.”

If she couldn't learn it even after two lifetimes, wouldn't she have lived in vain?

Li Yinyin was a little shy, but she accepted the praise with a blush on her face.

My sister-in-law and brother-in-law always manage to find something to praise me about, no matter where I am. It’s not easy, so of course I can’t refuse. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of their sincerity?

Yu Qiaoyun checked the weather and decided to finish making the flower crown for Li Yinyin first, and start learning the zither tomorrow.

With her previous foundation, Li Yinyin not only learned quickly but could also apply what she learned to other situations, which made Yu Qiaoyun exclaim that she was a genius and also allowed her to fully enjoy being a teacher.

Actually, when Li Yinyin was watching the show, she was curious about how she could learn all the arts, such as music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and even compose poems, when they all lived in the village.

Now that she was here, Li Yinyin realized that she owed it all to her almost omnipotent sister-in-law.

As for her sister-in-law's past identity, although her older brother and the others kept it a secret, Li Yinyin still discovered the clues after spending so much time together.

The sister-in-law, Yu Qiaoyun, is very likely the same girl the female protagonist heard about, the former top courtesan in the capital, Miss Yunluo.

Thinking of Yunluo, the girl in the story who was praised for her skills and gentleness, surpassing all the noble ladies in the capital, and comparing her to her sister-in-law who was gentle, shrewish, and a bit sharp-tongued, Li Yinyin buried this secret even deeper in her heart.

My brother is truly a blessed man!

Yu Qiaoyun, who was playing the zither, stopped: "Yinyin, why are you daydreaming again?"

“Sister-in-law, I’m thinking how lucky my brother is to have married such a fairy as you,” Li Yinyin sighed. “I wonder if I’ll have the same luck as my brother and get a fairy to be your brother-in-law.”

"You," Yu Qiaoyun said, somewhat amused and exasperated, "when your older brother comes back, tell him to find it for you properly, okay?"

"If they're not good-looking or capable enough, we won't hire them."

Li Yinyin replied earnestly, "My sister-in-law treats me the best!"

“Your older brother treats you well too,” Yu Qiaoyun said, fiddling with the strings of her zither a little awkwardly. “Your older brother is the best man in the world. In the future, Yinyin, you will only be able to find someone slightly inferior to him.”

Li Yinyin covered her cheek: "Sister-in-law, I didn't eat any candy, so why does my tooth hurt?"

Yu Qiaoyun frantically plucked the strings a few more times: "Then you're forbidden from eating candy for the next few days!"

"Okay, okay," Li Yinyin sighed, "It seems I can only eat sweets when my brother comes back."

Before Li Yinyin's long-awaited brother returned, the Mu family caused a scene.

Since Mu Xianyun and Li Yinyin's marriage did not go through, his family still had to share the cost of his schooling.

His uncles had supported his family for so long, and he felt he had done his utmost. Now that he was paying his tuition and buying good paper and pens, he couldn't even afford the betrothal gifts and dowries for his own children. Anyone would be dissatisfied.

The Mu family was making a fuss about dividing the family property, but the village chief's daughter, Li Niuniu, ran into Li Yinyin's yard and almost laughed herself silly.

"Mu Xianyun, relying on his good looks and being a scholar, has repeatedly tarnished the reputation of the girls in our village, saying that we all like him."

"Pah! That's not liking him, that's liking his face!"

"Hmph, it was so satisfying to see his face ripped off and trampled on by his own family today."

"It's a pity that he was so angry that he fainted. The Mu family still didn't split the property. It's a pity for his cousins. They're all so old. They finally found suitable marriages, but now it's all going to fall through."

Li Yinyin felt no sympathy for their family whatsoever; when this family plotted against her, none of them were innocent.

But Mu Xianyun fainted so easily? Really?
