Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

Another person also stood up and said, "Yes, I also saw that man's face. It must be the Second Prince. Oh, why is the Second Prince with Zhang Yuanniang? Doesn't he know that Zhang Yuanniang is getting engaged to the young master of the Chen family? And he's still doing that in the inn. It's really..."

"I've seen Zhang Yuanniang come to this inn's room many times before, but I didn't notice the Second Prince ever going in. Did you notice?"

"It seems so. You don't come to this box every time to do that kind of thing, do you?"

"It really is the Second Prince, oh my god! This is too exciting!"

The people who were discussing the matter heatedly did not realize that the two people who said they recognized the second prince at the beginning had quietly slipped away, and soon, the news that the second prince and Zhang Yuanniang were having an affair in the inn spread like wildfire throughout the capital. This was a huge melon and scandal for the people in the capital who did not have much entertainment activities on weekdays. Although it involved the royal family, people did not dare to discuss the royal family's faults in the street, but they said very bad things in private, especially to Zhang Yuanniang and the Zhang family. It could only be said that they were condemned to the ground.

The Chen family, who had already learned from the people who were following them that there was something wrong with Zhang Yuanniang, were now even more grateful that they did not arrange the marriage so quickly. If they had, Chen Jingchi would not be able to get angry with the second prince in the future. Even if he divorced Zhang Yuanniang, he would definitely be regarded as a laughing stock in the capital.

Mrs. Chen secretly hated the Zhang family and the princess who had tried their best to arrange this marriage. The Zhang family did not educate their daughter strictly, and raised such a shameless Zhang Yuanniang who had been hanging out with men in the inn before marriage. The Zhang family dared to marry such a daughter to her Chen Mansion, clearly wanting to use her Chen Mansion as a scapegoat! Don’t talk about the Zhang family’s daughter. The Zhang family may not know about it. Many people in the inn said that they had seen Zhang Yuanniang come to the inn several times! So many times, if the Zhang family were not stupid, they should have known about this situation! As a result, they dared to introduce such a slut to their son. It was simply too much!

As for the princess consort, that woman had assured her at the beginning that the daughter of the Zhang family was a very good girl, and had even guaranteed the marriage, saying that the Zhang family and Zhang Yuanniang were very good, and that it would be good for everyone if the two sides joined forces. Now that this scandal had happened, not only did she not express any apology to their Chen family, she also hid in the prince's mansion and disappeared, acting like a coward. It was obvious that she didn't care about their Chen family at all, and thought that as long as the Chen family hadn't married into the Zhang family, then such a scandal had nothing to do with her, and she didn't need to give any explanation to their Chen family, right?

She didn't care whether the princess really wanted to deal with her son just because he chatted with the girl from the Yu family. Anyway, she had already remembered this grudge, and when she had the chance in the future, she would definitely make the princess regret her act of despising their Chen family.

Upon learning this news, Chen Jingchi breathed a sigh of relief, thankful he hadn't gotten involved with Zhang Yuanniang. At the same time, he became extremely wary and cautious of both the Princess and Li Heng. He didn't know if this marriage was a deliberate plot against him after they learned of Zhang Yuanniang's involvement with the Second Prince. However, he would avoid anyone from the Prince's Mansion whenever possible, and be extremely vigilant if he couldn't.

Naturally, this matter also reached the Yu Mansion. Yu Zinyin was sitting next to Madam Yu embroidering, and she and Madam Yu listened to the nanny who was outside asking for information explain the matter between the Second Prince and Zhang Yuanniang.

After hearing this, Madam Yu's face was filled with disgust. "If it weren't for the fact that Heaven couldn't bear it anymore and set that inn room on fire, Zhang Yuanniang and the young master of the Chen family would have really gotten together. That would be like eating a fly for the Chen family. It's disgusting to swallow it, and it's disgusting to spit it out."

Yu Ziyin looked up at the nanny and asked, "I heard that the princess strongly recommended this marriage. Has anyone outside said that the princess went to apologize to the Chen family?"

The maid paused and shook her head. "I haven't heard of this. The princess hasn't responded to this."

Madam Yu frowned. "It was the princess who arranged this marriage. Even if it didn't work out, she should have at least expressed her gratitude to the Chen family. How could she just ignore it?"

That's because the princess claims to be a member of the royal family. In her eyes, the Chen family is just a subject. Even if she did something wrong, she would never bow her head.

Yu Ziyin had expected this to happen, so there weren't many surprises. Although the princess didn't do much wrong in this matter, after all, she was indeed unaware of the affair between the Second Prince and Zhang Yuanniang, but she also guaranteed the marriage. Now that something had happened, she hadn't given any explanation to the Chen family, which would definitely offend the Chen family. But even someone as proud as the princess wouldn't care if she knew this would offend the Chen family, because for the Prince's Mansion, which now had the support of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, even if they were offended, it wouldn't have much impact on the Prince's Mansion. Why should she bow to the Chen family for such a small matter?

But what about the future? When the Prince's Mansion's concubine in the harem is found to have poisoned the Queen Mother, and the Prince's Mansion is on the decline, the Chen family will definitely not miss the opportunity for revenge.

When Yu Ziyin thought of this scene, she curled her lips.

In order to prevent the Chen family from stabbing the Prince's Mansion in the back when it fell into decline, Yu Zinyin had her people spread the news to the Chen family, saying that it was Li Heng who had strongly recommended Zhang Yuanniang in front of the Prince's wife.

This made the Chen family, who had already suspected that the prince might have arranged this marriage to Chen Jingchi out of jealousy, even more furious. It was very easy to find out the truth of this news. They could just bribe the servants in the prince's mansion and find out what happened.

When Li Heng was talking to the princess, he did not avoid the servants. After all, Li Heng had no intention of revealing the situation of the Zhang family's daughter. He was just secretly plotting against Chen Jingchi, so he did not avoid the servants. As a result, the Chen family soon found out that Zhang Yuanniang was indeed recommended by Li Heng, and that he really harmed others just because his son said a few words to Miss Yu. How vicious!

Don't even mention that Li Heng might not know, and simply wanted to recommend someone for his son to marry so that nothing would happen between him and the Yu family girl. If that were the case, why would Li Heng recommend Zhang Yuanniang, who was involved with the Second Prince? The same Zhang Yuanniang who shamelessly engaged in private transactions with a man in the inn? The Chen family, who had been involved in the backyard of the officialdom for many years, weren't so foolish as to think this was a simple coincidence.

Even Chen Jingchi felt that this was the prince's revenge. And after his thoughts were verified, he was truly relieved. In fact, he had previously wondered if he and his family were overthinking it, and that Li Heng and the princess were really unaware of the situation of the Zhang family's daughter. But now, he was able to confirm that even if the princess was unaware, Li Heng was aware, and the other party was deliberately retaliating against him, so he should not blame him for retaliating in the future.
