The Ancient Miss Transmigrates into a CEO’s Wife

At first, Shen Yin didn't understand what it meant. Was Granny Su like her? Someone who had traveled through time from ancient times? Like her, coming from the Dasheng Dynasty?

"Granny?"

"Seeing the Dasheng wedding dress again brings up indescribable feelings." Su Jin looked at Shen Yin, meeting a fellow countryman from another time and space.

"Granny, how long have you been here?" Shen Yin asked.

Su Jin said in an exceptionally calm tone, "45 years."

Even for someone as composed as Shen Yin, hearing "45 years" was truly shocking.

"You must have just arrived recently, right? Two years?" Su Jin asked.

"Not quite two years."

Shen Yin calculated that from March of last year to early September now, it had only been a year and a half.

In that short year and a half, so much had changed. She had gone from being the daughter of a Duke's Mansion to now being the wife of a CEO. She had adopted a baby and even had another on the way.

"How did you come here?"

"I fell into the water and drowned my way here." As Shen Yin said this, she felt embarrassed. Who pretends to jump into a river only to actually drown?

"Hahaha, not bad compared to my time. Indeed, the methods of coming here are always strange."

Su Jin laughed.

"Do you know how I came here?" Su Jin asked.

Shen Yin shook her head. She was very curious about how Granny Su had arrived here, after all, Su Jin had come so many years before her.

"I drank poisoned wine given to me by the emperor. That year, I was 25, yet I had never left that grand yet not-so-grand palace."

As Su Jin recounted that story from half a lifetime ago, her tone remained flat, without hatred or love. It was as if she were telling someone else's story.

"Granny Su, you couldn't be Empress Rongyuan, could you?"

"Oh, you little girl, you actually know about Empress Rongyuan." Su Jin became interested. She, a powerless, forgotten empress, was actually known by later generations.

"Yes, legend has it that Empress Rongyuan passed away due to severe illness, having exhausted herself managing the six palaces."

Shen Yin recounted the story her adoptive father had once told her.

"Hahaha, I had no idea my death was portrayed so nobly by you all."

"Was it not like that?"

"Of course not. I was just a discarded empress. From the age of 18 when I entered the palace as empress, I never left again. Can you imagine? I spent five years in the Cold Palace, just a forgotten empress, even dying by drinking poison given by the emperor."

"What?"

Shen Yin was indeed shocked by this information. The rumors were wrong.

"The world just believed the news that I died from exhaustion managing the six palaces. He really went to great lengths, for the woman he loved."

"Perhaps even the heavens felt it was unfair to me, so they gave me another chance, letting me come to this world. So, I think you must have also encountered injustice. Little girl, tell me how you drowned."

"Can I really talk about that?" Shen Yin asked.

"Why not? It's just the two of us here. By the way, where's your baby? I don't see him."

"My mother is watching him downstairs."

"That's perfect. At my age, I'd like to hear some interesting stories."

"I didn't want to be forced by my family to marry a prince, so I jumped into the water."

"Such a strong-willed girl," Su Jin smiled.

"Not really. I pretended to drown, but I can't swim at all. The person arranged to rescue me didn't come in time, so I ended up here."

In front of Su Jin, Shen Yin indeed seemed like a child.

"Indeed, from ancient times to now, there have always been bad people. Actually, it's not good to say that. People are multifaceted, but some people's hearts are just dark."

Su Jin sighed.

Shen Yin strongly agreed with these words.

"So, Granny Su, when you first came here, how did you adapt to life here?"

"When I first arrived, I thought this place was poor and rundown. That era was particularly difficult. I even felt that coming here was to suffer, living in a small broken house in the countryside. I thought it wasn't as good as my Cold Palace back then. Fortunately, development was quite fast, and I got to witness the progress of this era."

"Granny, why did we come here? Why is our dynasty never mentioned in this era?"

Shen Yin had guessed most of it herself, but still wanted to ask Su Jin, after all, Su Jin was her elder both in the Dasheng Dynasty and here.

"Why we came, I don't know either. But when I came here, like you, I met the person I loved. After many hardships, we finally ended up together. So I believe that lovers are destined to be together."

"Love is mutual. Granny, I'm really happy to have met you here."

"You have an extraordinary demeanor. Which family were you from in the Dasheng Dynasty?"

"The Shen family."

"The Duke's Mansion?"

"Yes."

"I was also the daughter of a Duke's Mansion. From a young age, I was told I would marry the emperor. I thought that after entering the palace, I would enjoy endless glory and wealth. But later, I realized I was wrong."

As Su Jin said this, her tone carried a sense of acceptance.

"Maybe this is the legacy of daughters from the Duke's Mansion."

Shen Yin could only explain it this way.

"Live well in this era. The baby in your belly will surely be healthy and safe."

After saying this, Su Jin left Ziyue Manor.

Shen Yin stood at the doorway, watching Su Jin leave. It turns out that some encounters are destined for a reason.

When Xu Xiuhe returned, he felt that Shen Yin was particularly happy today.

"What's going on? You're in such a good mood today."

"I'm not telling you."

"Alright, if you won't tell me, I won't ask. I've found a kindergarten for Zheng Zheng."

Hearing this, Shen Yin was stunned. Xu Xiuhe's efficiency was indeed impressive.

"Where is it? Is it far?"

"Not far, just a half-hour drive."

"What, Zheng Zheng can go to kindergarten now?" The little one exclaimed, jumping up excitedly.

"Yes, we'll take you to kindergarten tomorrow."

"Yay, yay!" The little one clapped his hands.

Going to kindergarten meant he could play with brothers and sisters. Mom had said that going to kindergarten meant he could play with Aunt Qi Ji's two babies.

"Can we go now?" The little one was too excited to sleep.

"No, it's dark now. Zheng Zheng needs to sleep. We can go tomorrow morning."

The little one became disappointed, but only for two seconds before becoming happy again.

The next morning, Xu Yunzheng woke up especially early, earlier than both Shen Yin and Xu Xiuhe.

"Dad, Mom, Zheng Zheng wants to go to kindergarten."

The little one stood by Shen Yin and Xu Xiuhe's bedside, hands on his hips, shouting loudly.

Shen Yin was still groggy.

"What kindergarten? Who's going to kindergarten?"

"Mom, I want to go to kindergarten."

Shen Yin finally woke up. How was this baby so different from her? She used to be so lazy about going to school. How could anyone want to go to school?

"Stop shouting, your sister isn't awake yet."

Hearing this, Xu Yunzheng immediately covered his mouth. His eyes were wide open.

"Mom, Zheng Zheng didn't mean to. You and sister keep sleeping." Zheng Zheng removed his hand and said softly.

Zheng Zheng obediently ran to the door, waiting for Xu Xiuhe to get up.

Shen Yin and Xu Xiuhe couldn't sleep anymore, so they got up and changed clothes.

It was Xu Yunzheng's first day of school, and Shen Yin insisted on going with Xu Xiuhe to send their baby to school.

Xu Xiuhe drove, with Shen Yin and the little one sitting in the back seat. Xu Yunzheng wore his small backpack, full of anticipation for school.

On the first day of school, other children were crying at the gate, not wanting to go to kindergarten. Only Zheng Zheng was smiling foolishly at the entrance.

"Dad, Mom, you can go back together now. Zheng Zheng is going to kindergarten. Don't worry about me. Bye-bye."

Shen Yin looked at Zheng Zheng, who had an expression of "I'm grown up, I can do this."

The old mother instantly felt proud.

"We're just leaving like this?" Shen Yin asked.

"Should we stay here with him?" Xu Xiuhe asked.

The two stood outside the window looking in. Many parents were standing outside the window. This kindergarten was a noble kindergarten, and those who could come here were people with status and decent economic conditions in Rong City.

But now, these parents were all standing at the entrance, just like ordinary people.

"Why aren't you crying?" A little boy looked at Xu Yunzheng sitting on a small chair, motionless, watching the other children.

"Why should I cry? And why are you all crying?"

Xu Yunzheng asked.

The little boy next to him cried and said, "Waa waa, I didn't want to cry at first. I came here happily, but they're all crying, so I feel like I should cry too."

"They're crying because they're too young and miss their parents, but I'm a big boy, so I don't cry. You're one too, so you shouldn't cry either," Xu Yunzheng said.

The little boy beside him suddenly stopped crying and kept staring at Xu Yunzheng.

"Then I won't cry anymore. I'm a big boy too. Are we friends now?"

"Yes, we are."

Xu Yunzheng sat like a little adult, hands on his knees, nodding. Even the teacher noticed this unusual little fellow.

But Zhengzheng didn't notice the teacher's gaze.

He propped his chin on his hands, watching the other children in the room crying, feeling quite bored.

"Don't cry anymore. It's not like your parents have abandoned you. Why are you crying?"

Xu Yunzheng said.

"Waa waa waa, boo hoo hoo, waa waa waa, Mommy and Daddy don't want me anymore." After Xu Yunzheng spoke, the other children cried even more heartbrokenly.

"Stop crying. Crybabies are naughty children," Xu Yunzheng shouted.

Finally, the classroom quieted down, and the other children looked over at him.

"Who are you? Why aren't you crying?" someone else asked.

"My name is Xu Yunzheng. Mommy says boys can't shed little pearls, so boys aren't allowed to cry. Girls can cry."

There were quite a few little girls in the classroom, and hearing this, they started crying again.

They were girls, so they were allowed to cry. They weren't big boys after all.

The teachers were getting headaches too. They'd comfort one child only to have to comfort another, never getting a break. It was good that the boys weren't crying anymore, but now the girls were crying even harder, their voices seeming to lift the roof off.

"Sweetie, you're so good. Can you think of a way to stop the girls from crying too? Girls shouldn't cry either," a teacher came up to Xu Yunzheng and said.

"You shouldn't cry either. Don't be afraid, we won't bully you. Daddy says girls are to be protected. If you keep crying, the daddies outside will think we're bullying you. Then we'll get scolded."

Xu Yunzheng had been seeing people watching them from outside, but he hadn't seen his own parents. He knew they had gone home, so he wasn't sad at all.

Shen Yin and Xu Xiuhe were watching their little one from the window behind him.

"Did you teach him that?" Shen Yin asked.

"I didn't teach him anything. I just said boys should be gentlemen and not bully girls."

Shen Yin felt proud again. Why was her son so excellent, obedient, and sensible?

The classroom indeed quieted down significantly. The teachers breathed a sigh of relief. Every year, they dreaded the babies' first day of kindergarten the most. No amount of comforting seemed to have much effect, and they just had to tough it out for half a day until the little ones got used to it and things got a bit better.

"That's the child of Heyuan Group's CEO, right?"

"Yes, he looks like him. I heard he's called Xu Yunzheng, it must be him."

"This child really takes after his father, he has leadership skills."

"Indeed. If my child kept crying, their voice would probably go hoarse. Sigh, there's nothing we can do. Isn't the first day of school always like this?"

They weren't short of money, but not all problems could be solved with money, especially when it came to children's issues. They felt helpless. There was no way around it. The children had been pampered since they were little, so suddenly going to kindergarten was certainly not easy for them. But they had to go to kindergarten.

"Children, hello. We are your teachers. From now on, you are big kids. We can play games together, watch TV together, and learn together. Okay?"

"Okay."

Finally, introductions began in the classroom. There were four teachers and twelve students.

Outside, the parents started to feel relieved that the crying had finally stopped.

"Let's go home," Shen Yin suggested.

Looking at Xu Yunzheng now, she really felt that her baby was great, strong, and independent. What did she have to worry about?

"Okay, I'll drop you off at home, then I'll go to the company. I'll pick up Zhengzheng and bring him home in the afternoon."

"Don't take me home, take me to Qi Ji's place. I want to see her and the two babies."

Xu Xiuhe did as she asked.

Qi Ji was at home, playing with her two babies.

Since giving birth, Ye Rong had been taking even more meticulous care of her. The state of being loved was different, for example, Qi Ji was glowing with happiness.

When Shen Yin was in the car, she had already told Qi Ji that she was coming over to see her.

At first, Qi Ji didn't agree. She was worried about Shen Yin's pregnancy and wanted to bring the two children to Ziyue Manor to see Shen Yin. But Shen Yin said she was already on her way.

When Shu Yi found out, she also wanted to join in, saying she wanted to go see what the two babies looked like now, since it had been a long time since she'd seen them.

Xue Le'an and Xue Leyu were lying in their cribs, with Qi Ji rocking them nearby. The two babies were playing by themselves, not disturbing each other.

Shen Yin leaned over to look at the babies, and was once again amazed.
