Quick Transmigration: Help, The Male Leads Are All Broken!

"I dreamed that Grandpa's bedroom seemed to be on fire."

"And also dreamed that…"

Halfway through her words, she suddenly stopped. Rong Jin's smile deepened. "Dreamed of what else? Continue."

Those eyes stared at her, making her heart palpitate. Only Su Tang could withstand it head-on.

However, it was one thing for her to withstand it, but Shen Tao definitely couldn't. So, she shifted her gaze away from his, her eyes flickered, and panic spread from the depths of her eyes. Finally, she gripped the quilt tightly.

"Little Ninth Uncle, I didn't dream, those things are all real, right?"

She spoke cautiously, her eyes filled with hope, as if waiting for him to say it was just a dream.

But Rong Jin shattered all her hopes. He silently curled his lips, smiling very gently, "You didn't dream."

These gentle words, to Shen Tao, were like a fierce flood, directly shattering all the strength she had faked, causing her to teeter.

Su Tang played the role of a sixteen-year-old girl flawlessly, even deceiving Rong Jin. He opened his arms, embraced her, gently stroked her back, and coaxed her silently.

The little girl's back was tense and did not relax.

Rong Jin was not in a hurry. After coaxing her for a while, he began to talk to her about other things, such as the major events that had recently occurred in the capital. Su Tang listened in a daze until she heard him say that Prime Minister Jia had been deposed, and she suddenly looked up.

But although she raised her head, she remained silent.

Rong Jin still smiled and even stayed to have a little something to eat with her before leaving.

As soon as he left, Su Tang got out of bed.

As soon as she got out of bed, the maid immediately took a piece of clothing and draped it over her shoulders, while worriedly saying, "Miss, your body hasn't recovered yet. The doctor said it's best to lie in bed and avoid the wind."

Su Tang stared at the distance to the door. After a long while, she said, "I want to see Grandpa. Go and ask the steward when Grandpa will wake up."

The maid looked embarrassed. Old Marquis Shen was seriously ill, and no one was allowed to visit unless the Old Marquis personally requested it. Su Tang's words undoubtedly gave the maid a big problem, but she was just a maid, and she also didn't know if she was seeing things, but just now, the Miss's eyes were actually filled with coldness.

The maid originally just had the idea of giving it a try, but as soon as she mentioned it to the steward, the steward was silent. After a long while, he actually agreed.

The steward told Su Tang to go over after dinner, and during this time, Rong Jin didn't even show up.

In winter, it gets dark especially early.

After Su Tang had dinner, it was already dark. She put on her cloak and stepped on the heavy snow, walking step by step towards the Old Marquis's bedroom.

Because the bedroom had caught fire last time, the Old Marquis was now sleeping in the side room, which was much smaller than the previous bedroom. At least, there was no distinction between the outer room and the inner room.

Compared to last time, Old Marquis Shen was now even having difficulty getting up. He was breathing heavily, obviously exhaling more than inhaling.

"Tao Tao," he said, "Grandpa asks you for a favor."

To Rong Jin, what Old Marquis Shen asked for was an heir for the Shen family, but to Shen Tao, he thought about the peace and well-being of the Shen family's descendants. Even though he was clear that those descendants were not outstanding at all, and some were even very foolish, as a father, how could he watch them die?

Moreover, the Eldest Imperial Grandson wanted his granddaughter, which was also her honor.

If she entered the palace one day, it would undoubtedly be the icing on the cake for the Shen family.

Why refuse such a win-win situation? As for Shen Tao, although Old Marquis Shen liked this granddaughter quite a bit, this bit of liking was not enough to support her continuing to be willful.

As a daughter of the Shen family, she had to be prepared to sacrifice for the Shen family.

Su Tang didn't stay with Old Marquis Shen for too long, only for about half an hour. When she came out, the snow in the sky hadn't stopped. However, she saw Rong Jin at the corner.

He was just standing under the long corridor, without any guards accompanying him. However, she was very clear that those hidden guards were hidden in the darkness. If anyone wanted to harm him, they would suddenly appear like ghosts and kill them.

She took a deep look at him. This time, she didn't retreat, but walked towards him step by step.

Rong Jin didn't ask anything, just took her little hand, "It's so cold, you came out without even bringing a hand warmer."

Su Tang didn't shrink back, just stared at him blankly, "Little Ninth Uncle, in the future, can I still call you Little Ninth Uncle?"

Rong Jin smiled. He never cared about a mere title.

"Of course, you can."

Then, Su Tang flashed a smile, very beautiful, even more beautiful than the snow scene in the sky.

Seeing that the end of the year was approaching, although the atmosphere in the Marquis's mansion was a bit low, there must be a New Year's atmosphere for the New Year, such as red lanterns, which could not be missing.

According to her past memories, Su Tang wrote a letter to her parents on the frontier and also asked someone to bring some clothes and jewelry from the capital. She remembered that when she was very young, Shen Tao's mother was still in the capital. She was a rare beauty. She was no longer a child. Seeing her mother being unhappy every day, but still forcing a smile to accompany her, she let her go to the frontier to find her father.

At that time, she was only five years old.

Of course, Second Madam Shen did not agree until her seventh birthday that year. She chatted with her mother all night, and the next day, Second Madam Shen said goodbye to her with a pair of red eyes.

Also, because of her sensible behavior, Second Madam Shen felt very guilty towards this daughter, so she was reluctant to have another child.

Rarely thinking about the past, Su Tang drew a portrait of Second Madam Shen based on her memory. As for her cheap father, she was really sorry, she had never seen him before.

After finishing the painting, she also wrote a title at the bottom, saying it was a gift to the most beautiful mother in the world.

Unlike the dog-crawling writing she deliberately wrote last time at Rong Jin's place, these words were smooth and coherent, completed in one go. It would probably take several years of effort to practice.

She didn't think much about it, but Rong Jin, who intercepted her portrait, thought too much.

Although there were only a few strokes of words, how could Rong Jin not overthink it?

All these years, she had thrown all her schoolwork to him, teasing cats and walking dogs every day, and it seemed that she had never done a serious thing. If she were a man, she would probably become a famous playboy in the capital.

The shape of the practiced characters, if it is to be beautiful, cannot be formed in a day or two. Looking at her handwriting, it is impossible without hard work. And this painting is almost comparable to those masters.

So, why did she throw those schoolwork to him in the first place?

She clearly wrote so beautifully, but in front of him, she never had a shape, and this painting, these things, cannot be practiced in one day.

So, after she threw the schoolwork to him, she actually redid a copy herself.

Rong Jin suddenly felt that he had found the truth. Although the little girl was arrogant and looked unlearned, these were just her protective shells. In the capital surrounded by wolves, the Shen couple could not take care of everything. Sometimes hiding herself was more beneficial to her.

Thinking about it, he suddenly laughed.

His little Tao'er is really a treasure.
