Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

Li Heng didn't notice the dissatisfaction in Chen Jingchi's eyes, but said with some complacency: "It's good that you know."

Li Heng relied on the pride of being a royal family member, and the doting of the prince's mansion on his only son, to develop the habit of labeling things and people with his own label in his mind. If he found out that someone coveted his things or people, he would threaten and intimidate the other party like an angry lion, and this trick always worked. After all, who would dare to compete with the royal family?

But Li Heng didn't understand one thing: people who are too arrogant often end up in trouble. Sometimes, hatred can also encourage certain bad things to grow.

……

After returning from the flower-viewing banquet, Madam Yu called over the aunts of Yu Fangfang and Yu Zixi. After listening to the confessions of the two maids who had looked after Yu Fangfang and Yu Zixi, Madam Yu gave them a few beatings respectively. Yu Fangfang and Yu Zixi sat beside them and watched, afraid that the suppressed sobs would leak out of their mouths. Madam Yu just glanced at them lightly and continued to sit quietly beside them drinking tea.

After the beating was over, she looked at Yu Fangfang and Yu Zixi with a gloomy look, "Do you know why Auntie was beaten? It's because you two girls were taught badly by them. You brought shame to our Right Prime Minister's Mansion. You are the daughters of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and it's not good to get hurt, but as their mother, I can't sit idly by. So I can only beat these two to make you remember this lesson. If you do it again in the future, I will beat you again until you two are sensible."

Concubine Wei and Concubine Yun, who were on the wooden plank, knew they were in for a disaster today after hearing the two maids' confessions. They hated their mistress's cruelty, thinking she simply couldn't stand seeing their children prosper, which was why she was so furious when she discovered her children were trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful. Did she think this would make them back down? No, they would retaliate in even more extreme ways, and would definitely help their daughters find a good marriage and hold their heads high!

However, the two younger children, Yu Fangfang and Yu Zixi, were frightened by Madam Yu's tricks. Although their stepmother had always been cold to them, they had everything that concubines' daughters should have, so in their eyes, their stepmother was just a cold and wooden person who only cared about her own children. Moreover, their aunt had also taught them how to act nice and clever in front of their stepmother so that she would let down her guard and take them out to see the world. They had done it and succeeded, which led to their stepmother not paying too much attention to their actions before. Unexpectedly, they were discovered and punished just because they looked at the outside world a few more times than others at someone else's banquet. It was really terrible.

After Yu Ziyin learned from Cuiguo, her maid, that Madam Yu had dealt with the restless Yu Fangfang, Yu Zixi and the two concubines, she just asked 404 to help keep an eye on them. 404 could not interfere in the affairs of the small world, but could help Yu Ziyin to keep an eye on the situation. Madam Yu was also a cautious person. After Yu Fangfang and Yu Zixi had this situation for the first time, she would also let the maids keep a close eye on the two of them. This could be considered a double insurance.

After fully understanding the situation with Yu Fangfang and Yu Zixi, Yu Ziyin turned her attention to Chen Jingchi and Li Heng. After leaving the banquet at Chen's residence that day, Yu Ziyin asked 404 to keep an eye on Li Heng because she was afraid that he would become jealous and take action against Chen Jingchi.

As a result, she guessed right. The petty-minded Li Heng actually planned to take action against Chen Jingchi.

After the banquet ended that day, Li Heng returned to the Prince's Mansion and told the Princess that Chen Jingchi and Yu Zinyin were getting close.

After hearing this, the princess was indeed very dissatisfied with Chen Jingchi's behavior of daring to compete with her son for a woman, but she was also equally dissatisfied with Yu Zinyin.

In her opinion, marrying a virtuous wife was a good idea. Even though the Right Prime Minister's Mansion was powerful, the princess wasn't particularly tempted. After all, their Prince's Mansion had the Emperor's backing, so why would they need to marry someone so high up? Furthermore, the eldest daughter of the Yu family, in her eyes, was a source of trouble. She had once met her at a banquet, and at that moment, she felt that this young lady would not be content. At such a young age, she frequently attracted attention, which she felt was too ostentatious.

Moreover, in her opinion, her son liked Yu Zinyin so much. If he married her, he would become a henpecked man who would listen to his daughter-in-law in everything. Not only would she lose her only son, but it would also be difficult for her to establish the image of a mother-in-law in front of her. Therefore, when her son said he wanted to marry her, she used delaying tactics and suggested waiting until the eldest daughter of the Yu family came of age. But her son was obviously trapped in the relationship and was still thinking about Yu Zinyin, which gave the princess a headache.

Li Heng didn't notice what the princess was thinking. He just expressed his dissatisfaction with Chen Jingchi in front of her. "He clearly knows my feelings for Miss Yu, but he still gets so close to her. He doesn't take me seriously at all. Mother, if Miss Yu really marries someone else, my son will never marry in this life!"

When the princess heard Li Heng's shocking words, she was so frightened that she almost threw the teacup in her hand. "My son, what nonsense are you talking about? What man doesn't marry?"

"Then go and help me arrange the marriage with Miss Yu!" Li Heng said.

Whenever he thought of the scene that day when Miss Yu didn't see him at all and only talked to Chen Jingchi, he felt uncomfortable. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he should settle this matter quickly. He couldn't wait until Miss Yu came of age. That would be too late.

But the princess was not happy about it. She didn't want her son to marry Miss Yu at all.

She rolled her eyes and said, "Silly child, why are you so anxious? If you are really afraid that Miss Yu will marry the young master of the Chen family, then I, your mother, will go and ask the Chen family for a marriage, and I can just solve it through Chen Jingchi. After all, isn't the Chen family looking for a partner for Chen Jingchi recently? As the princess of a royal family, the person you introduce to them will definitely be looked up to by them."

Li Heng thought about it and finally smiled happily, "That's fine. If Chen Jingchi gets married, then Miss Yu won't marry him. So who does Mother want to introduce to me?"

"This will take some time. I need to think about it carefully." said the princess.

She was just anxiously thinking about how to stop her son from asking her to get engaged in the Yu family, so she came up with this idea, but she hadn't really thought about who to find. After all, the Chen family is not an ordinary family, and the marriage partner must not be too low-class, and cannot have any obvious bad deeds. She had to think about it carefully.

Li Heng stepped forward and recommended someone to the princess, "Mother, I have someone who is particularly suitable."

The person Li Heng was talking about was the eldest daughter of the Zhang family. Coincidentally, this person was the wife that Chen Jingchi had a lover in the original world.
