The Otherworldly Journey of a Quick Transmigrator

Because there were only four of them on the boat, and the boatman rowed quickly, they arrived in Shangyu in the afternoon.

Zhu Yingqi was already waiting at the dock, with Huang Liangyu by his side. The two seemed to have a very good relationship.

Upon seeing the two of them, Zhu Yingqi waved happily, and after the boat docked, he helped Zhu Yingtai off the boat.

Su Yuanyuan jumped up carrying the silver heart and silver screen, and first bowed to Huang Liangyu.

"Greetings, Eighth Sister-in-law."

The next second, he got a tap on the head. "Don't act like a young master now that you're back. You can't even bow properly?"

Huang Liangyu covered her mouth and laughed, then patted Zhu Yingqi on the shoulder.

"Don't listen to him. You actually look quite good in this outfit. If I didn't know you, I might have been captivated by you too."

Zhu Yingqi snorted and glared at Su Yuanyuan, leaving her speechless.

Can't you be alright? Why are you glaring at her? This whole family is obsessed with love; she's the only one who gets hurt.

Zhu Yingtai took Huang Liangyu's arm and said, "Sister-in-law, it's been a long time. You and Brother Ba have a very good relationship."

Huang Liangyu blushed slightly, patted Zhu Yingtai, and secretly glanced at Zhu Yingqi. Their eyes met, and Huang Liangyu blushed even more.

Su Yuanyuan grimaced and looked away, suffocating in the stench of romance!

[Host, you really could have a relationship, then you wouldn't have to be jealous of others.]

Why are you everywhere? Disappear!

【……snort!】

"Let's go, Mom and Dad are waiting."

Zhu Yingqi glared at her again, then told the servant to carry the luggage, and the group slowly walked back.

When they returned home, Madam Zhu and Master Zhu were indeed waiting in the hall.

Madam Zhu was initially full of worry, but after they came in, she looked at Zhu Yingtai and Su Yuanyuan with a face full of anger.

She slammed her hand on the table. "You two actually know to come back. You've got some nerve, daring to sneak out and even go to the academy to study. Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

Su Yuanyuan looked completely indifferent; it was clear from Madam Zhu's expression that she wasn't truly angry.

“We’re disguised as men, I’m confident no one will notice.”

To everyone's surprise, Madam Zhu pointed at Zhu Yingtai and asked, "What about Yingtai? Do you dare say that the prefect's son came to propose marriage without discovering her true identity?"

Zhu Yingtai lowered her head so low it was almost buried in her chest, and Su Yuanyuan was speechless.

Madam Zhu walked over and tapped their heads repeatedly with her hands, while Master Zhu chuckled and drank his tea, ignoring Su Yuanyuan's pleading gaze.

After Madam Zhu finished scolding them, she waved for them to leave quickly. As they reached the door, Madam Zhu added another sentence.

"Yingtai, go back and prepare for your marriage. As for you, stay in the courtyard."

Su Yuanyuan shrugged, and received another glare from Madam Zhu.

On the way back, Su Yuanyuan grabbed Zhu Yingtai, still worried, and asked, "Are you really willing to marry him?"

Zhu Yingtai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll get married sooner or later. Marrying Ma Wencai is the best outcome, and I have no objection to it."

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Su Yuanyuan didn't try to persuade her any further. It was definitely the right thing to do not stop them from spending time together at the academy; this outcome couldn't be better.

After that, Zhu Yingtai began preparing for her wedding, and Su Yuanyuan rarely saw her. She spent every day embroidering her wedding dress in her room, and would only come out for a short while when her eyes couldn't take it anymore.

Madam Zhu forbade Su Yuanyuan from going out, but knowing she couldn't keep her out, she contacted all the shop owners in Shangyu, promising a reward to anyone who reported her outside.

Su Yuanyuan was speechless for several days when she found out about this. Madam Zhu really has no fear of losing face now.

Even though she couldn't go out, she didn't stay idle. She had Zhu Yingqi bring her lots of snacks every day, which made him unable to resist looking at her belly.

Huang Liangyu punished him severely for this. Even if Su Yuanyuan ate a lot, he, as a man, couldn't stare at her belly all day long, not even her own brother and sister.

Su Yuanyuan was lying in the courtyard enjoying the cool air when a carrier pigeon flew over her head—a daily occurrence.

She was initially curious, so she grabbed it and glanced at the letter, but then she ignored it.

I thought it was something important, but it turned out to be love letters between Zhu Yingtai and Ma Wencai. Tsk tsk tsk, they're so cheesy!

"Miss, aren't you bored lying around all day?"

Yinping brought in a bowl of mung bean soup. Seeing that her young mistress had fallen asleep again, she reluctantly moved out a low table and placed the mung bean soup on it.

"You don't understand. It's rare to have days when you can be lazy. You don't know when they'll be over, so of course you should enjoy them while you can."

She picked up the mung bean soup and took a sip. "Yinping, bring some more sugar. It's not sweet enough."

"No, Madam instructed that Miss should eat less sugar."

Su Yuanyuan shook her head helplessly, "Whose maid are you anyway? I can't even get anything out of you now?"

"Of course I am Miss's maid, but I can't disobey Madam's orders. Besides, Madam is right. Miss doesn't move around all day, and eating so much sugar will make her fat."

Yinping spoke with great conviction, so Su Yuanyuan could only shut her mouth and drink her soup. It wasn't that she necessarily wanted to eat sweets; she was just bored and wanted to act a little silly.

Soon, Zhu Yingtai's wedding day arrived, and Su Yuanyuan was sent to Zhu Yingtai's place by Madam Zhu early in the morning.

She will stay by Zhu Yingtai's side all day until the groom comes to take her away.

Su Yuanyuan sat in the outer room yawning, while Zhu Yingtai was putting on makeup inside.

Servants and maids were coming and going, setting out pastries and hanging lanterns, busier than when Zhu Yingqi got married.

After Zhu Yingtai had finally finished her makeup, the matchmaker went out to do something else, leaving her to sit with Zhu Yingtai.

"Ninth Sister, are you hungry?"

Zhu Yingtai nodded slightly, then shook her head. "Mother said I can't eat now. I have to wait until the veil is lifted before I can eat, otherwise my makeup will be ruined."

Su Yuanyuan clicked her tongue twice, "That's terrible. Can I see your makeup?"

"How can you tell? The veil is already on."

Su Yuanyuan stood up and looked outside. The matchmaker hadn't returned, and everyone else was too busy to notice.

She knelt down in front of Zhu Yingtai and looked up from under the veil. She saw a classic ghost movie makeup look, and her lips twitched involuntarily.

"What's wrong? Is it pretty?"

Zhu Yingtai noticed her strange expression and began to worry that the painting wasn't good.

"It's not a matter of whether it looks good or not, it's just... I don't know how to explain it to you."

Su Yuanyuan took out a small mirror and handed it to Zhu Yingtai so she could see for herself. Zhu Yingtai put it under her veil, glanced at it, and let out a short scream.

"So ugly?"

"That's what you said."

"You need to help me think of a solution quickly. This painting is so ugly. No wonder the matchmaker wouldn't let me see it."

Zhu Yingtai tugged at Su Yuanyuan's sleeve, looking as if she wished she could lift the veil herself.

Su Yuanyuan patted her hand, "Don't rush, there's still time. I'll have Yin Xin fetch some water so you can wash off your makeup and I'll do your makeup again."

As she spoke, she went out and randomly pointed to a maid, instructing her to find Yin Xin and bring her a basin of water.
