Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

"Ziyin, why are you saying all this? Don't you want to help Cheng Ting? He is your future brother-in-law. My life will be tied to him. Can you bear to see me live a hard life with him?" Liu Ziyu became excited.

"It's just an engagement. As long as you haven't married yet, you are still the legitimate daughter of the Liu family. Besides, this marriage was not granted by His Majesty, so it can be withdrawn... Why are you so flustered? Did I really guess it right? You ran away without your father's consent?" Yu Zinyin said.

When the topic of breaking off the engagement was brought up, Liu Ziyu looked at Yu Ziyin with hatred, "How could you allow me and Cheng Ting to break off the engagement? Are you just trying to make me suffer?"

Yu Ziyin frowned and looked at her in confusion. "Any intelligent person would know by now that they should cut ties with Cheng Ting, but you want me to go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and plead for him. It's you who really wants to make things difficult for him. You haven't even considered what would happen to me if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince got angry!"

Liu Ziyu bit her lip and shook her head. "You'll be fine. The prince dotes on you. Even if you said something wrong and made him unhappy, as long as you admit your mistake, His Highness will definitely forgive you..."

"That's enough! I'm favored because of my good fortune. I'm favored by His Highness! Why should I take risks for Cheng Ting, who has nothing to do with me? You want me to do it for you? That's impossible!"

"Didn't you say back then that you didn't want me to compete for your favor? Then what right do you have to get any of the benefits I've gained through your favor? You think I'm doing well, so you try every possible way to suppress me. Now that you're in trouble, you flatter me and say it's just sisterly love. You're truly extremely selfish! You only think about yourself and never consider the fate of your own sister! How can someone like you be worthy of being a sister!"

Yu Ziyin slammed the table and stood up, "Xi Que, Rong Mama, send her away immediately!"

Rong Mama, who had been unable to bear listening outside for a long time, immediately rushed in and followed Xi Que to pull Liu Ziyu's arm, "Miss, I'm sorry!"

Liu Ziyu, who was stunned by Yu Zinyin's words, came back to his senses and looked angrily at Rong Mama and Xi Que who were holding him.

"What are you doing! Aunt Rong, Xi Que, are you crazy? Let me go! I am the eldest daughter of the Liu family! How dare you do this to me! Liu Ziyin!!"

"take away!"

Yu Ziyin watched Liu Ziyu being dragged out of the room, walked to the desk, and picked up a pen to write a letter to complain to Liu's father and mother.

When Xi Que and Rong Mama sent Liu Ziyu out of the side door, they "coincidentally" met Shang Liang, a close confidant of the prince.

Shang Liang told Xi Que and Rong Mama that he "just happened" to have something to do at the Liu Mansion and didn't mind helping them send Liu Ziyu back to the Liu Mansion.

Liu Ziyu was naturally unwilling to do so. At most, he would be thrown out. This was a side door and not many people came, so it would not be too embarrassing. But if he was taken back to the Liu Mansion by Shang Liang, who was the prince's confidant, it would be really embarrassing!

But she couldn't say she didn't want to do this. In the end, she was "sent" back to the Liu Mansion by Shang Liang. Before Liu's father was surprised why his eldest daughter, who had been locked up in the yard by him, came out from outside, he pieced together the whole process of his eldest daughter's suicide from the letter of his youngest daughter and a few warnings from Shang Liang.

Liu Ziyu was sure that if Shang Liang was not still there, her father would have slapped her.

After Shang Liang left, Liu Ziyu was dragged to the ancestral hall by her angry father and punished by family rules. In order to reduce her punishment, Liu Ziyu immediately said that it was Liu Xian who helped her avoid the doorman, and then the maid beside her submitted an invitation in the name of the Liu Mansion and sent her to the backyard of the Prince's Mansion.

The arrival of the prince's confidant showed that the matter had alarmed the prince, which had already made Liu's father very anxious. Now that he knew that his youngest son was involved in this, the anger in Liu's heart was almost immediately ignited.

Mrs. Liu, who came later, was also very angry after hearing everything. She usually believed in doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, so she ordered all the maids around Liu Ziyu to be beaten to death. Liu Xian was punished by his father according to the family rules and was not allowed to go to the Imperial College. He was not able to get out of bed for half a month.

The Liu family's strict family rules are no joke.

Father Liu was very disappointed with Liu Ziyu. He didn't understand why his sensible eldest daughter was so determined to be with Cheng Ting. But compared with other parents of this era, Father Liu was quite open-minded. He still had plans for Liu Ziyu, and he had been keeping an eye on Cheng Ting's actions.

Hoping that Cheng Ting could turn his life around instead of being a mediocre civil servant in the Imperial College, Liu's father had been looking for opportunities to help Cheng Ting turn his life around, but he had never told Liu Ziyu about this.

Liu Ziyu thought that her father was partial to Liu Ziyin and didn't love her at all! After this incident, she felt hatred and resentment towards both her father and mother.

When she married Cheng Ting in the future, she would never set foot in the Liu family again except for the day she returned home! Cheng Ting was the Prime Minister, so she would not foolishly take out the contents of the book she had read to help Liu Xian and the Liu family!

She will make the Liu family regret not treating their eldest daughter well!

……

When Yu Ziyin had Liu Ziyu taken away, a black shadow disappeared on the beam of Lanyue Pavilion. The shadow was so fast that no guards could catch it. Only the secret guards in the dark discovered his whereabouts and did not take action until they confirmed that it was one of their own.

After a while, the dark shadow landed in front of Shang Liang, "Mr. Shang."

Shang Liang noticed it was him, listened attentively, raised an eyebrow, and breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, this Concubine Liu is not stupid. Okay, you can go down now."

"Yes."

After the secret guards left, Shang Liang walked towards the hot spring pool at the back and said through the barrier, "Your Highness, Concubine Liu did not agree to Miss Liu's request. She even had her personal maid and the nanny throw Miss Liu out the back door."

In the hot spring pool, the sound of water continued. The man leaning against the wall of the pool took off the cotton cloth covering his eyes. After hearing the answer, the frost in his frosty pupils gradually disappeared, and a low laugh appeared on his lips.

Shang Liang could feel his master's joy even from a distance, and his body, which was lowered with his head down, couldn't help but relax.

The master was finally happy.

Shao Lian felt that soaking in this hot spring was more comfortable than any other time. "This hot spring can invigorate blood circulation and dissolve blood stasis, and can relieve Concubine Liu's sore hands. Shang Liang, go and ask her to come and take a bath."

"Yes."

Yu Zinyin was a little surprised when she heard Shang Liang's words, but she quickly reacted. This was the backyard of the Prince's Mansion. How could Shao Lian not know what she had done? It seemed that she had done something that satisfied him.

After figuring it out, she was quite glad that she had not said anything wrong just now.

Following Shang Liang all the way to the hot spring pool, Shang Liang stood outside the room and said, "My lady, I am unable to enter. Please go straight ahead and you will arrive."

"Ah."

The sound of the door opening and closing, along with the sound of water from the hot spring inside, made Yu Zinyin a little nervous.

She approached the screen. Although the screen was not transparent, she could still vaguely see what was going on inside. There was no one inside at the moment. Yu Ziyin called out uncertainly, "Your Highness?"
