Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Chapter 138 World 310

Qingwu often handled external affairs for Yu Miaoqi and also had to take care of her youngest son, so she was a little slower to learn about things inside the mansion.

But there were always people who knew about it who came early on: "Congratulations! Yinyin has now been taken in as the lady's goddaughter. Her future is sure to be bright. If your family becomes successful in the future, don't forget about your old friends!"

"Become Madam's goddaughter?" Qingwu had just returned from her busy work when she heard this news. She was pleasantly surprised but also a little worried. "Does sister-in-law know what happened?"

The lady who came to offer her congratulations, seeing that she indeed knew nothing, was naturally willing to talk to her in detail: "You've come to the right person. Let me tell you..."

Qingwu summarized the news: when the lady took the young master out for a fortune telling, the Taoist priest saw that Yinyin had a good destiny. The lady already liked Yinyin, so she simply went along with it and took Yinyin as her goddaughter.

"It is all thanks to the Madam's kindness that she has such good fortune," Qingwu said with a smile, but her heart was full of worry.

How fortunate must one's life be for the lady to consider taking Yin Yin as her goddaughter? Qingwu wasn't afraid of her daughter having a good life, but rather afraid that this good life would come at the cost of something in the future.

Compared to her husband, Qingwu believed that as the lady's former dowry attendant, she understood her better than anyone else. Although the lady was kind and benevolent, she was also shrewd and calculating, and her mind could not be changed by a fortune telling or a little bit of affection.

Just like before, no matter how much the lady liked Yin Yin, she would only treat her the best among all the maids, but the color of Yin Yin's clothes would not change, even if they had beautiful embroidery.

Filled with worry, Qingwu tossed and turned until midnight before finally managing to doze off for a short while. The next morning, she went to the manor.

Yu Miaoqi knew why Qingwu had rushed over. She hadn't originally wanted Qingwu to see Yinyin again, but Yinyin still had a deep attachment to the Pan family. Forcibly stopping them might not be something Yinyin could say because of her young age, but it was hard to guarantee that it wouldn't leave a grudge. Yu Miaoqi wouldn't let her daughter, whom she had finally regained, become estranged from her.

After all, Yin Yin is still young, and she can wait patiently.

Because Yu Miaoqi was said to be still getting ready, Qingwu waited a while before seeing her. But it was different from before, because today she was not waiting outside the door, but was directly invited into the house, and someone even brought her tea.

Qingwu felt uneasy and worried after receiving such a generous treatment. Upon seeing Yu Miaoqi, she bowed respectfully.

After seeing that she had finished bowing, Yu Miaoqi smiled and asked Hongfu to help her up: "I have taken Yinyin as my goddaughter, and you are Yinyin's biological mother, so you don't need to perform such a grand ceremony in the future."

“How can this be?” Qingwu’s heart tightened, and she feigned fear. “The master is the master. As a servant, how can I disorderly the hierarchy?”

Yu Miaoqi was satisfied, but also somewhat disappointed. If Qingwu became arrogant and conceited, she could rightfully take Yinyin under her wing. But if Qingwu was truly that kind of person, she wouldn't dare entrust her with external affairs.

Yu Miaoqi sighed: "It's a good thing that you're so polite, but Yinyin will grow up and start to care about her image. Don't you think so?"

Qingwu knew that at this point she should take the initiative to leave the area and work elsewhere, but she hesitated. That was her daughter, obedient, sweet, and affectionate, her precious little darling; how could she just abandon her?

Yu Miaoqi didn't receive a reply, and while she was dissatisfied, she was also somewhat happy for Yin Yin. At least in this life, Yin Yin still had a good mother.

With mixed feelings in her heart, she didn't linger with Qingwu: "Yinyin went to bed late last night and woke up late this morning. You haven't seen her for a while, so you must miss her. Go see her first."

Qingwu then showed joy, bowed, and quietly withdrew.

But she didn't see that after Yu Miaoqi picked up the teacup, she looked up at the door with a look of complete confidence.

After they came out, someone naturally led Qingwu to the house where Yinyin was currently living.

As soon as she entered, Qingwu recognized that everything from the tables and desks to the curtains and furnishings was of the finest quality.

"Mother," Yin Yin was overjoyed to see Qing Wu as soon as she woke up. She hugged her mother's neck and whispered sweetly in her ear, "Mother, I've missed you so much these past few days. Do you miss me, Mother?"

"Yes, Mother misses you too," Qingwu said. The quilt beneath her was made of the finest brocade, and Yinyin's clothes were also made of soft, smooth plain satin. Qingwu hugged her daughter tightly and asked, "Is Madam good to you?"

Seeing Yinyin nod, Qingwu asked again, "What happened when you went to Zhao Family Village? Why did Madam suddenly take you in as her goddaughter?"

Yinyin took out the amulet hanging around her neck: "Madam took me to get amulets and then called me out. But after a while, when Madam came out, she suddenly hugged me and cried. When she came back, she said she wanted to take me in as her goddaughter."

“I was scared last night and couldn’t sleep. Madam found out and said I was the reincarnation of her own daughter, and told me not to be afraid.” Looking at the complicated expression on Qingwu’s face, Yinyin nestled in Qingwu’s arms. “Mother, I am your daughter. How did I suddenly become the reincarnation of Madam’s daughter?”

Hearing Yin Yin's words, Qing Wu felt relieved. Now that the reason for Madam's kindness towards Yin Yin was clear, she no longer needed to worry too much about Yin Yin's future. She had never doubted whether Yin Yin was still her daughter. After all, she had carried her for ten months, given birth, and raised her from infancy—she had personally handled everything. Who else could Yin Yin be but her daughter? Even if there were such a thing as reincarnation, in this life, Yin Yin was simply her daughter.

Qingwu calmed herself down and instructed Yinyin, "Now that you have become Madam's goddaughter, you must be filial to Madam in the future."

"Madam is a noblewoman from the Yu family. She is proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, needlework, and housekeeping. As long as Madam teaches you, you must study diligently. The future is uncertain, but what you learn will never be taken away by others."

“Mother,” Yinyin said, holding her hand, feeling a pang of sadness.

Qingwu grasped her hand in return: "You are still young and may not understand what your mother means, but I know you are smart and can remember it well, right?"

"Don't worry, Mother, Yin Yin will remember," Yin Yin lowered her eyelids. Now that she was Yu Miao Qi's daughter, Qing Wu could no longer stay here. This was why Yin Yin revealed the reincarnation story.

It wasn't that Yin Yin was heartless, wanting to abandon her former family for a higher status, but rather that she dared not gamble on the consequences left behind by Qing Wu.

Judging from what happened last night, Yu Miaoqi will not get rid of the Pan couple. But if Qingwu keeps hanging around her and has a close relationship with Yinyin, who knows what the outcome will be?
