Time travel, quick transmigration

As Chen Huang listened, he became increasingly shocked and horrified. He had never imagined that the situation had reached such a critical juncture. The more he understood the meaning behind Shi Yan's words, the more shocked and curious he became about Shi Yan's true identity. Although he had some guesses, he dared not investigate rashly. After calming down, Chen Huang cupped his hands in greeting.

"My lord, you are so thoughtful and kind. As a man, I am ashamed that I do not have your magnanimity and benevolence."

"Rest assured, Master, I will certainly carry out the task you have entrusted to me."

"Since it is about benefiting and helping the people, your subordinates will not shirk their responsibility and are willing to contribute their meager strength as well."

A hint of appreciation appeared in Shi Yan's eyes, and she secretly sighed that she had not misjudged him.

"Manager Chen is indeed a good man of loyalty and righteousness. However, while doing what is right, Manager Chen should also take care of himself and his family. He should not sacrifice himself for the sake of righteousness, and he still has responsibilities."

Chen Huang looked at Shi Yan with emotion upon hearing this.

"Your subordinate will remember your teachings."

Shi Yan shook her head and chuckled.

“It’s not about giving advice. I’m just worried that Manager Chen might forget himself when he gives everything he has, so I’m reminding you. You need to know that you’re not alone. You have family behind you, and in this ever-changing world, you are their only support.”

Chen Huang nodded.

"That's what the master said."

Seeing that the conversation had reached this point, Shi Yan turned to A Man and introduced her to Chen Huang.

"This is Miss Aman. Like Xiaodie, she is someone I trust very much."

Then he said to Aman.

"Ah Man, this is Manager Chen. He has been running Bao Cui Ge all along. Manager Chen is someone I rely on and a partner I trust."

Shi Yan's words undoubtedly touched the two people present, deepening their respect and admiration for her.

"Miss Aman."

"Greetings, Manager Chen."

The two exchanged a formal greeting, which served as a way of saying hello.

Seeing the two of them so serious and composed, Shi Yan revealed a faint smile through the curtain.

"Manager Chen, I have another matter to discuss with you today."

Chen Huang's expression turned serious.

"Master, please speak."

Shi Yan thought of one of the most important matters of this trip and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Please send someone quick to fetch Haiyue for me. I have important matters to discuss with him."

"I don't have much time and can't stay out for long, so I have to hurry."

Upon hearing this, Chen Huang immediately stood up.

"If that's the case, I'll have Douzi fetch Haiyue to see you."

"Please wait a moment, my lord. I know what is important and what is urgent, and I will not delay you."

Shi Yan nodded.

"Okay, then go ahead."

Chen Huang respectfully replied "Yes" and then strode out of the private room.

When they found Douzi greeting guests in the outer room, Chen Huang briefly explained the situation and gave him some special instructions before letting him go to invite Haiyue.

Douzi had long since mastered nimble legwork, and after leaving Baocui Pavilion, she strode towards Haiyue Residence.

In no time, Douzi arrived at Haiyue's residence. Seeing that the door was open, he walked in with ease. Just as he reached the front yard, he encountered an unfamiliar maid who had just finished cleaning the front hall.

The maid had never seen Douzi before. When she saw a strange man suddenly enter the house, she cried out and dropped the basin of water she was holding.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass on a prestigious residence in broad daylight!"

Douzi bowed and explained apologetically.

“I didn’t trespass. I know the owner of this house, Young Master Haiyue. Our manager sent me to see Young Master Haiyue because I have urgent business. I’ve been here a few times before, but perhaps you’re new here and haven’t seen me before. I’m not a thief, so you don’t need to be afraid.”

The maid looked at the beans with a mixture of belief and doubt.

Just as the two were facing off, Haiyue and Arang, who had just heard the scream, put down the weightlifting weight they were practicing and came looking for them.

"What's all this shouting about..."

Before Haiyue arrived, his voice preceded his arrival. Douzi and the maid both turned to look, and their eyes lit up when they saw it was Haiyue.

"Young Master Haiyue".

"master."

With a look of joy in his eyes, Douzi ran to Haiyue.

The maidservant, overjoyed at the appearance of her beloved, called out shyly.

Haiyue was also surprised to see Douzi. When Douzi told him her purpose, even the usually composed Haiyue could no longer remain calm.

"It's her. She's been waiting for me. After all these years, she's finally come to see me..."

Overwhelmed with joy and excitement, Haiyue couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Let's go, don't keep her waiting."

As she spoke, she grabbed Douzi's wrist and pulled her outside.

Looking at Haiyue, who had changed and was no longer the same as before, Arang couldn't understand why he was so agitated. By the time he realized what was happening and wanted to ask him, Haiyue had already walked away.

The maid was clearly confused as well. After the man disappeared like the wind, she stared blankly at the gate.

Haiyue went out the door and rented a horse next door. He first urged Douzi to mount the horse, then stepped on the stirrups, sat down, and galloped off towards Baocui Pavilion.

It was Douzi's first time riding a horse, and Haiyue was riding so fast that he was terrified and almost died of fright the whole way. Finally, they arrived at their destination.

Haiyue dismounted nimbly and went straight into Baocui Pavilion, but it seemed that Douzi was still on the horse. Helpless, he had to carefully and reluctantly get off the horse and onto the ground.

Chen Huang had been waiting at the door, and he went to greet Hai Yue as soon as he entered.

The two exchanged a glance and then nodded in greeting.

"The master is waiting for you. Please come with me to the private room in the back hall."

After saying that, Chen Huang turned and left.

Upon hearing this, Haiyue immediately followed.

Upon reaching the private room, Haiyue, whose mind was racing, suddenly hesitated. The woman he had been longing for was right in front of him, and he began to feel timid and at a loss.

Chen Huang entered the house first, and when he saw the person standing at the door suddenly stop, he looked at him suspiciously.

Seeing the doubt in Chen Huang's eyes, Hai Yue's eyes flashed and he stepped across the threshold.

"Haiyue, it's been a long time. Hope you're doing well."

Shi Yan saw the visitor put down his teacup and greet him warmly, as if he were a long-lost friend.

Haiyue gazed intently at the woman before him, his eyes seeming to pierce through the pale moonlight veil, meticulously sculpting the face of the long-lost lover.

"master……"

Suppressing his inner emotions, he called out softly.

What he really wanted to say was, "It's been a long time. I hope you're doing well, happy, and that everything is alright. Have you thought of me even once in a while?"

But he simply couldn't bring himself to say these things.

Shi Yan was happy to see an old friend. She gestured for Aman to close the door, then took down the curtain and placed it aside.

Ah Man closed the door and then stood back down next to her.

"There are no outsiders here, so please don't be shy. Let's all sit and talk."

Haiyue and Chen Huang didn't dwell on it and sat down on the large chair next to them.

"Ah Man, you sit down too."

Shi Yan looked at A Man.

Haiyue and Chen Huang both turned their attention to Aman. Aman, not being used to it, also walked over and sat down on a round stool.

"Haiyue, I have called you here because I have something important to tell you."

"Let me introduce myself first. My true identity is Consort Yang Yuhuan, a noble consort in the palace. You two may have heard about the deeds of Consort Yang Yuhuan."
