Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Shen Ye touched his sister's hair without saying anything.

After considering it, Jin Yang also felt that his daughter was right: "Ye'er, what you should do now is to grow up properly."

"But..." Shen Ye only managed to utter one word before lowering his head under his mother's gentle gaze. "Mother, don't worry, I will grow up well."

Not only her mother, but even Shen Ruyin could see through her brother's hypocrisy.

The brother and sister left their mother's house hand in hand. Shen Ruyin pulled her brother to the study and even asked someone to bring a chair so that she could sit facing her brother.

Her formal attitude piqued Shen Ye's curiosity, but he stayed with her.

Shen Ruyin said, "Brother, don't think that you can agree on the surface and then do something unnecessary on your own behind my back."

Shen Ye was taken aback, his face slightly flushed: "If even you couldn't be kept in the dark, Mother will surely be even more worried about me."

“So,” Shen Ruyin said, “Brother, you can’t even fool me and Mother, how can you fool the shrewd people in the palace?”

“Brother, we are family. I lost my father and I don’t want to lose my brother too.”

As Shen Ruyin spoke, her eyes welled up with tears. Shen Ye couldn't help but coax her, "Brother will remember, I will never do anything dangerous."

Shen Ruyin nodded in deep agreement, and then whispered, "Brother, it's fine for you to interact with them on a daily basis, but don't agree to anything they ask of you."

“Look, the Ninth Prince we met in the palace before wasn’t just arrogant and domineering; he understood His Majesty’s thoughts very well.”

Shen Ye recalled that the Ninth Prince had originally listened to the eunuch and intended to sit idly by and watch the people in the Empress's palace and Consort Shen's side cause trouble, but after the Emperor spoke up, he quickly changed his mind and told the truth.

"Don't worry, Yinyin, I won't do anything unnecessary."

Shen Ruyin was very worried.

If her brother were truly a dissolute playboy with every vice imaginable, she wouldn't be so worried.

Because such a person is both rotten and clever enough, others are even less inclined to deal with him.

Unfortunately, her brother is an ordinary person with normal thoughts and values, making it difficult for him to be too ruthless or to go against his conscience.

However, nothing has happened yet, so Shen Ruyin can only say that she trusts him.

The first event in the selection of study companions was the Cuju (ancient Chinese football) match. Miss Zheng came to pick up Shen Ruyin, and Shen Ye, worried about her, escorted her the whole way, and eventually stayed behind himself.

Shen Ruyin originally only intended to take a casual look, but unexpectedly found that the two sides seemed to be really fighting, and the tactics were quite ruthless.

"Sister Zheng, is this how they usually play Cuju (ancient Chinese football)?"

"To me, they look like they're about to start a fight."

Miss Zheng also sensed something was amiss. She glanced at the people in the room and quickly realized what was going on. She whispered, "Isn't there a vacancy for the Crown Prince's personal attendant? Look at the group in red; the youngest one is the original attendant."

Shen Ruyin looked in the direction she was pointing, and could still hear Miss Zheng's voice in her ear.

"It seems that his family planned for him to take up a post outside the capital, but he did something wrong at this critical juncture, which caused trouble for the Ninth Prince. As a result, his original plan to stay in the capital turned into being abandoned by the Crown Prince."

"But recently it's been said that there's something wrong with what he did, and that he might have gotten hold of something."

"You probably didn't see it that day, but the eldest son of the Marquis of Li was in the group of people in blue."

Shen Ruyin suddenly realized.

When the seat you want is occupied by someone else, the only way to make it available is to remove the person who is currently occupying it.

The Crown Prince has more than one study companion, but perhaps only this one will be leaving the capital.

Shen Ruyin thought for a moment and asked, "Sister Zheng, why is the family of that person in red taking up a post outside the capital?"

Miss Zheng replied, "I don't know. But it's not the time for official evaluations right now. When my mother heard the news that they were leaving the capital to take up new posts, she was quite surprised. Moreover, the positions they are going to take up seem to be less prestigious than when they were in the capital."

Shen Ruyin did not ask any further questions.

Although she didn't know what the boy in red had done, Sister Zheng seemed unclear about it, so it was obviously not something serious.

But the Ninth Prince's outburst led the Crown Prince to abandon him, which suggests that something must have happened in his family that was too serious to handle, forcing them to leave the capital to avoid disaster.

Otherwise, without any reason, and without the emperor's authorization, who would be in such a hurry to leave the capital?

Perhaps because he had no other choice, the young man in red acted without restraint.

The eldest son of the Marquis of Li also fought with real passion, and the battlefield descended into chaos.

The young masters and ladies from various families who were watching were unsure whether they should send their servants to intervene, since they were still adhering to the basic rules of Cuju (ancient Chinese football).

Some troublemakers were still shouting and cheering on the sidelines, as if afraid of not stirring up trouble.

The farce ended when the eldest son of the Marquis of Li crashed into the boy in red, and both of them fell to the ground and cried out in pain.

The boy in red hugged his leg and shouted that the eldest son of the Marquis of Li had used dirty tricks and broken his leg.

The eldest son of the Marquis of Li was lying on the ground, unable to even get up.

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and fetch a doctor!" Shen Ye shouted down, eager to check on the situation.

Shen Ruyin quickly grabbed her brother's hand, pretending to be scared.

Shen Ye hesitated for a moment, then chose to comfort his sister first.

Others went down to check the situation and called out to the eldest son of the Marquis of Li twice, but received no response. They quickly stepped back and sent someone to find someone from the Marquis of Li's residence.

The doctors arrived quickly, but none of them dared to move the eldest son of the Marquis of Li from his seat.

The area below was in complete chaos, but none of the people watching from above could leave.

People from the city's military command came; everyone present was a witness.

When someone approached Shen Ruyin and the other two, they all said they were too far away to see clearly. Someone else bluntly stated that the eldest son of the Marquis of Li was trying to break someone's leg, and they were unlucky enough to fall down as a result.

The Marquis of Li's family did not believe it and raised their voices loudly and rudely in front of the deputy commander of the military command.

Shen Ruyin secretly peeked out with her eyes.

Several imperial physicians had already arrived at the football field, all of them looking troubled.

Based on her experience, Shen Ruyin knew that the eldest son of the Marquis of Li would either not live for more than a few days or would be left with a disability.

"Brother," Shen Ruyin said, her voice trembling, "when can we leave? I miss Mother."

Shen Ye said with concern, "I'll go ask."

Shen Ruyin grabbed him: "Brother, don't go. I... I can wait a little longer."

Shen Ruyin had only acted halfway through when she saw another person riding up on horseback: "Who is that? Why did the people from the Marquis of Li's mansion fall silent as soon as he arrived?"
