Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Chapter 451 World 811

In fact, after receiving the letter, Yin Yin only opened it and glanced at it before putting it down.

Forgive her, she's seen plenty of people with love-struck minds, but this is the first time she's seen one like Fu Yuanzhou.

For the next two weeks, Yin Yin received a letter every two days.

Originally, Chu's father required that the letter be reported to him every time, but later, because the letters were being sent too frequently, he simply had someone report to him every few days.

When Yinyin returned, the shop from out of town delivered the account books, and it was harvest time in the village. The Chu family was very busy. She had to go back inside and write a few words by candlelight to reply to letters, but she still replied to every letter so as not to disappoint Fu Yuanzhou.

Fu Yuanzhou was unaware of her situation the previous times and was filled with longing. He kept asking her when she would have time to travel together again, or when they would go to the city. The Prince's mansion had undergone many renovations, and he wanted her to go and check on the progress.

Once he learned that she was busy with important matters and even stayed up all night to reply to his letters, he stopped urging her and told her that she didn't need to reply to him every time, but could just reply once every few days.

It wasn't a long letter; writing just a few sentences wasn't difficult for Yinyin. She wrote things like "I miss you too, and I want to write to you." In the end, she never missed a single letter.

Fu Yuanzhou was deeply moved. Once he learned that Yinyin was almost done with her work, he immediately sent her a visiting card and came over.

Seeing his efforts during this time, Chu's father was too lazy to play the villain. After meeting him once, he let him go with Yinyin.

Yinyin took him to the riverbank, where there were few people and it was quiet with beautiful scenery, making it the perfect place for a leisurely stroll and conversation.

“I had said I would go to the city in two days, and you just happened to come.”

“I missed you,” Fu Yuanzhou said, holding Yin Yin’s hand tightly. “So I came to see you first after I knew you were done with your work. You can come see me again in a few days when you come to the city.”

"That way, we can see each other more often."

His smug look made Yin Yin unconsciously smile: "That's right, we can see each other more often. After I finish taking care of things at home, I should go to the shop in the city to check the accounts."

Fu Yuanzhou was overjoyed. After all, Yinyin would be checking the accounts in no time, and if it was a little late, they would have to stay in the city, which would give them one more day to meet.

After expressing their longing for each other, Fu Yuanzhou told Yin Yin about the aftermath of Sun Dahu's incident.

“Our people sent Sun Dahu to the Ming Dynasty, and they did indeed send people out to retrieve the evidence.”

"However, I heard that the people who were later sent to take the evidence to the capital of the Ming Dynasty seemed to have disappeared halfway there."

Fu Yuanzhou's face showed a hint of relief: "Luckily, we listened to Yinyin's advice and didn't get involved in what happened afterward. Otherwise, who would know why this person disappeared on the road?"

Either this person wasn't loyal to General Li, so he ran away with the evidence.

Either this person was loyal to General Li, but the person who wanted General Li dead was more powerful and capable, and knowing that someone was carrying evidence to rescue General Li, he took the initiative and intercepted and killed the person halfway.

But regardless of which one it is, it has nothing to do with them.

They didn't directly get involved in the matter of evidence, and those who sent Sun Dahu back didn't reveal that they were Yang Liao Wang's men. As long as Sun Dahu wasn't foolish enough to bring it up himself, they could maintain their ignorance.

“No wonder the Ming Dynasty wants to negotiate peace after so many years of fighting,” Yin Yin said meaningfully. “It’s only been a short time since the truce, and someone has already started to attack the generals on the border.”

Fu Yuanzhou nodded: "Yinyin, do you think General Li can survive?"

“It’s hard to say,” Yin Yin said, looking into the distance. “Whether General Li survives or not depends on whether the emperor wants him dead.”

"Since he is innocent, and there are so many controversies surrounding him, and someone can produce evidence, as long as the emperor wants him to live, he can survive no matter what."

"The worst-case scenario is that even the emperor doesn't trust him and doesn't intend to let him live."

Fu Yuanzhou shook his head: "The internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty are too complicated. If this were our Li Kingdom, a general as capable as General Li would not have ended up in this situation."

"It's a pity. If only General Li were here with us. I've heard about his military prowess on the border back in the day."

Seeing his sighs of regret, Yin Yin comforted him, "This matter is still uncertain, why are you being so pessimistic?"

“I just don’t really trust that old emperor of the Ming Dynasty,” Fu Yuanzhou said in a low voice. “When I was in the capital, I heard the emperor and his ministers discussing politics. They said that the Ming emperor was old and very suspicious. In addition, the wars on several fronts in the past had drained their national treasury. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to form a marriage alliance with us.”

Ming was more centrally located than Li among the nations, and it bordered more countries.

When the Ming emperor was young, he was a capable, ambitious and resourceful ruler. Naturally, he was not content to be just a ruler who maintained the status quo and wanted to expand the territory.

Years of warfare brought new cities, but also a depleted national treasury and powerful generals from all directions who overshadowed the emperor.

The Ming emperor was getting old, and it was time to leave a court and neighbors that he could control for his successor.

Thinking of this, Yin Yin also felt a little regretful, wondering why these generals couldn't have been born under her command.

She composed herself and said, "So, General Li is really in danger."

"However, we cannot interfere in the affairs of other countries; we can only inquire and find out the result."

“Yes, I’ll tell you when there’s new progress,” Fu Yuanzhou suddenly realized that they had talked for a long time about General Li of the Ming Dynasty, wasting a lot of their time together, and he regretted it for a moment.

Yinyin guessed most of what he was thinking and pointed to a shadow in the river, saying, "Yuanzhou, look, there's a fish."

“Let’s go see if we can catch one or two. I’ve recently figured out a new way to grill fish. When we get back, I’ll have someone make it for you to try.”

Fu Yuanzhou was easily distracted by her and had someone fetch a net to catch fish.

After bringing the fish back home, the family ate until they were stuffed, and it was time to say goodbye.

Fu Yuanzhou didn't want to leave, but since Chu's father hadn't given the order, he didn't dare stay and could only return to the city, looking back every few steps.

After he left, Chu's father also mentioned General Li.

He had a large business and shops in the Ming Dynasty, so he had more information than Fu Yuanzhou.

"The concubine from the Li family in the palace is gone. General Li is probably in trouble this time. I wonder if we can get our hands on any of their estates and shops."

"Father, are you planning to go to Ming Kingdom in person?" Yin Yin thought for a moment. "After all, we are not people of their country. Father, it would be better if you didn't get involved in those big estates and good shops."

"Don't worry, how could I not know that?" Father Chu's expression darkened slightly. "The one I've set my sights on is from your maternal grandfather's family."
