Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

“Okay,” Li Yinyin replied softly, and quickly got into the carriage. “Brother, let’s wait a bit before we go.”

Li Chengming, unaware of the situation, still ordered his men to park the carriage in a secluded spot so as not to block people's business.

They had just parked their carriage when they heard a commotion at the street corner. People quickly moved aside, leaving Xi Jiangyue and her companions, who were locked in a stalemate, standing out conspicuously.

The galloping horse was blocked and had to rein in its horse to stop. Only then did Li Yinyin get a clear look at the male lead, Yin Hong.

She was good-looking, but too strong. Wearing such conservative clothes didn't suit her taste at all.

The male protagonist, Yin Hong, raised an eyebrow slightly when he saw Xi Jiangyue in front of him: "Robbery in the street, bullying others by relying on one's power? Which family's spoiled brat dares to be so arrogant in Yunzhou!"

After saying that, he ignored the unfortunate second-generation rich kid's rebuttal and lashed him with a horsewhip.

"Hiss," Li Yinyin couldn't help but back away when she saw this. Although that unlucky second-generation didn't look like a good person, did someone who didn't distinguish right from wrong deserve to be the male lead?

No wonder this so-called rescue scene mainly appears in the female lead's memories. If it were actually filmed, it would be condemned by everyone.

"Yinyin, don't be afraid," Li Chengming was right behind them and naturally saw the scene. He lowered his face and protected his sister away from the car window. "We're far away."

Li Yinyin stopped looking in that direction and asked in a low voice, "Big brother, are the people outside so unreasonable? They didn't even ask what happened before they started hitting people. That whip really drew blood."

After a moment of silence, Li Chengming decided to tell the truth: "Yinyin, this is just the most ordinary one."

"In this day and age, ordinary people can only accept their fate even if they are misunderstood by their superiors."

"The man wielding the whip is the prefect's nephew, a young magistrate from Yunzhou. His father is a powerful general in the Jiang Kingdom. Even if he had only hit someone due to a misunderstanding, or even if that person were dead, he could have simply sent a servant to apologize and that would have been the end of it."

Li Yinyin pursed her lips: "Big brother... so that's why you and sister-in-law don't want me to go out, right?"

Li Chengming nodded: "Shangshui Village is our paradise. Your brother and sister-in-law hope that you can always be a happy little girl."

“But brother, that’s impossible,” Li Yinyin interrupted his impending advice. “Just like you said, in this day and age, you can’t reason with words. Even if Shangshui Village is a paradise, is it really impossible for it to be dragged into the secular world one day?”

"I don't believe it, and I won't run away from it."

When Li Yinyin went to the window again, the unlucky second-generation rich kid had already left with his men, and Xi Jiangyue was shyly thanking Yin Hong while hugging the tiger skin.

She hid in the shadows, looking in Yin Hong's direction, her eyes flickering, and spoke as softly as possible, so softly that only she and her brother could hear her.

"Big brother, if we also had the biggest fist, wouldn't others be able to reason with us obediently, and I could go wherever I wanted without any worries?"

Xi Jiangyue had already left, but Li Yinyin and her brother lingered in the same spot for a long time without calling them away.

Li Chengming looked at his younger sister in front of him and nodded with difficulty after a long while: "Yinyin is right."

“Of course, I’m so smart,” Li Yinyin raised her chin. “Besides, you’re always traveling for business, so you must have encountered difficulties with others. If we’re smart enough, then you can travel freely all over the world, and your sister-in-law won’t have to count down the days to see where you are and when you should come back.”

“I remember when you went to Donghai two years ago, you didn’t come back for two months and there was no news from you. My sister-in-law would take me out to play during the day with smiles, but she couldn’t sleep all night long.”

"If I hadn't noticed that my sister-in-law's hair was thinning, and asked the servants, they wouldn't have known either."

Her tone wasn't heavy; it even carried a child's characteristic cheerful and coquettish tone. But every word she spoke resonated deeply with Li Chengming.

“Such things have happened before,” Li Chengming’s throat was a little dry. “I didn’t even know.”

“My sister-in-law keeps it from even me, how could I tell you, brother?” Li Yinyin looked around before carefully leaning close to his ear. “Although there are some things my sister-in-law doesn’t want me to tell you, I can tell you quietly. But don’t tell my sister-in-law about me, or I won’t tell you anything anymore!”

"Alright, I'll do as you say," Li Chengming then instructed Xiao Liu and the others to drive out of the city. Once outside the city, they could hear the sound of carriages moving around, and if the siblings spoke softly, no one would know.

As the carriage traveled, Li Yinyin talked the whole way, recounting every little thing she had kept in her heart over the years. Perhaps some of these things were even forgotten by Yu Qiaoyun herself, but she still remembered them.

If Li Chengming had only known these things, he might have felt moved and liked Yu Qiaoyun even more. But when he suddenly learned so much, accumulated over so many years, an overwhelming sense of guilt welled up inside him.

When Li Chengming got off the carriage and saw Yu Qiaoyun waiting in front of the house as always, he nimbly jumped off the carriage and gave Yu Qiaoyun a tight hug.

Seeing her sister-in-law's somewhat bewildered expression, Li Yinyin laughed even harder. She didn't ask for a hug, but instead jumped down from the stool and walked to the two of them.

"Oh dear, brother, you've only been away for a few days, and you already miss your sister-in-law so much. Sister-in-law, do you like it?"

Upon hearing this tone, Yu Qiaoyun knew that it must involve her, so she turned to Li Chengming and asked, "What did Yinyin say to you?"

Li Yinyin quickly said, "Sister-in-law, please don't wrong me. I just heard that couples need to be close enough to last. This way of hugging you was my brother's own idea!"

Listening to his sister's offhand remark, Li Chengming smiled and said, "Yinyin is right, I do want to hug you. Just now, when I saw you waiting in front of the house, I suddenly felt that all these years, I've troubled you to wait for me, it's been too hard for you."

Because Li Yinyin had a history of wanting to see the couple getting along well, Yu Qiaoyun believed her this time and walked inside with Li Chengming, blushing.

“I knew you would come back, so it wasn’t hard at all.”

Li Yinyin watched her brother and sister-in-law leave together, showing no sign of resentment at being left behind.

I wonder if my performance today will be of any use.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't happen. Just consider it planting a seed in your heart first. There will be plenty of opportunities to go out with you in the future, and you'll succeed one day.

Li Yinyin looked up at the sky.

The autumn sky is clear and cloudless; it's a perfect time of year!
