Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder
Chapter 174 The Frustrated Crown Prince’s Wife (15)
After several attempts by her maids to find the Right Prime Minister failed, Concubine Yun sent her daughter, Yu Fangfang, to her father to complain. The Right Prime Minister was kind to children, and she thought he might take pity on Yu Fangfang and agree to let her attend the banquets alone, so that Madam Yu wouldn't waste her youth. After all, if she couldn't marry into a good family when she was older, she would definitely not receive a high betrothal gift from the man. Without a high betrothal gift, what would her son do? Wouldn't her son be left with no money to spend?
Who knows, Madam Yu, that black-hearted woman, would deliberately marry her daughter to an unfavored illegitimate son of some family, and use her daughter as a bridge to ensure the unity of the interests of the two families. In that case, the betrothal gift might not be small, but it would not be so easy for her to bring her son to ask for money in the future. After all, her daughter is just a bridge of interests between the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and her daughter's husband's family. It doesn't matter whether she is there or not. People will still value the direct descendants of the Yu family. If a illegitimate mother like me comes to ask for money, no one will pay attention!
Madam Yu hadn't intentionally chosen not to bring Yu Fangfang and Yu Zixi to the banquet. She saw it as a sign that the two children were only twelve years old, giving them plenty of time to choose. There was no need to rush. And even if she was anxious, she could still worry about her own daughter's marriage. So her own daughter's marriage had to come first. She naturally had to settle the marriage of her beloved daughter first before she could concern herself with the affairs of her two concubines.
As for Concubine Yun's repeated attempts to complain to the Right Prime Minister, she naturally saw it and kept it in mind. After she solved the top priority of her daughter's marriage, she would deal with this bitch who wanted to show off to her. Then she would let Concubine Yun know how capable the Horse King was.
Yu Fangfang, who did not dare to disobey her aunt, took some cakes to the study to find the Right Prime Minister, but was not allowed in every time because the Right Prime Minister was extremely busy. Even if Madam Yu wanted to find him, he had no time to see her. The last time he discussed his daughter's marriage with Madam Yu, it was he who squeezed out time. After that, he started running around for the emperor and had no time to stay in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. It was even difficult for Madam Yu to see him, let alone Yu Fangfang and her daughter?
Therefore, every time after returning home, Yu Fangfang would be scolded by Aunt Yun for being useless. After a few times, Yu Fangfang became more eager to find the Right Prime Minister. This time, she directly blocked the Right Prime Minister who was getting off the carriage at the door, and then told him that she wanted to attend the banquet.
The Right Prime Minister couldn't help but stop and frowned at Yu Fangfang. "Your mother can't go to the banquet recently, how are you going to go? If a young lady from another family invites you to play the piano and discuss poetry at their mansion, that's fine, but if it's a large banquet, you can't go alone. It's against the rules."
Of course, Yu Fangfang didn't want to go to the ladies' party that the Right Prime Minister mentioned. It was actually just a small competition party for a group of young ladies who knew each other to kill time when they were bored. There would be no young masters there at all. What was the point of her going there?
Yu Fangfang could only insist, "Then, then, Father, can you let Mother take me there? I really don't want to be cooped up in the mansion anymore. I also want to be like my elder sister and see the world more with Mother."
Hearing this, the Right Prime Minister did not doubt anything and even touched Yu Fangfang's head lovingly, but he still did not back down in his words, "When your mother is done with her work, father will let her take you and your fourth sister out to see the world together. Be obedient. Okay, go back, father is busy in the study."
Yu Fangfang looked at You Xiang's back, biting her lip unwillingly. After thinking for a moment, she took a few steps forward, grabbed You Xiang's sleeve, and began to play the victim. "Father, my aunt has been in so much pain since she was beaten that she can't sleep every night. Can you go see her? Although you're not a doctor, my aunt will definitely be happy if you go."
The Right Prime Minister thought about the piles of memorials on his desk, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, Father, I'll do my best."
Only then did Yu Fangfang burst into laughter.
After Yu Fangfang returned, she told Concubine Yun about this happy event. Concubine Yun was initially unhappy to hear that Yu Fangfang still couldn't go out and meet rich and powerful young masters. But when she heard Yu Fangfang say that she had brought the Right Prime Minister over and that he would come to see her that evening, her depression suddenly disappeared. With full of anticipation and excitement, she praised Yu Fangfang several times, "She is worthy of being my daughter! She is so resourceful!"
Yu Fangfang's face flushed with praise, "No way."
But when she returned to her yard, Yu Fangfang was still smiling, but the smile faded when she saw Yu Zinyin sitting on the swing in the back garden.
Regardless of whether it was due to Concubine Yun's instigation or not, Yu Fangfang couldn't like her legitimate sister. This was not only due to the natural opposition between legitimate and illegitimate children, but also because she was extremely jealous of her legitimate sister. She inherited the best genes from Madam Yu and the Right Prime Minister. Before she even reached the age of marriage, she was already hailed as the most beautiful woman in the capital. And what about herself? Although Concubine Yun was also good-looking, she couldn't compare to Madam Yu, who came from an aristocratic family. Not only was her appearance inferior, but her cultivation was also not as good as that of her legitimate sister's mother. This deepened Yu Fangfang's jealousy of her legitimate sister.
Moreover, Yu Zinyin was trained by Madam Yu since she was a child to be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, a level that Yu Fangfang, who was also studying, could never catch up with. Whenever she heard the teacher praising her elder sister's excellence, Yu Fangfang felt disgust and jealousy towards her elder sister, and wished that she would disappear from this world.
Just like now, Yu Fangfang stood there for a long time, unwilling to go forward, otherwise she would have to bow to the other person. She hoped that Yu Ziyin would leave on her own initiative, but the other party seemed to be trying to oppose her and refused to leave. Now, she had no choice but to go over. After all, there were maids and servants passing by from time to time. If they saw her meeting her elder sister but not greeting her, but turned around and walked away, or stood there for a long time waiting for her elder sister to leave before leaving, they would gossip about it in private. If the news got to her parents, she would probably be punished by copying the female rules again.
After thinking about it, Yu Fangfang could only walk forward and said to Yu Ziyin with a smile: "Second sister."
Yu Ziyin had already known that Yu Fangfang was there, but Cuiguo saw her and reminded her. Seeing that she finally came over, she nodded, "Third sister."
Yu Fangfang was furious at her cold attitude. She rolled her eyes and couldn't help but put on a smug smile. "Second sister, I can't chat with you right now. I have to quickly ask the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes that father likes and send them to Bishuiyuan. I'll be leaving now."
Bishuiyuan is the courtyard where Aunt Yun lives. What this means is that Yu Fangfang is provoking Yu Zinyin that the Right Prime Minister, whom even Madam Yu rarely sees, will go to her aunt's place tonight!
Yu Ziyin understood the meaning behind the words, but just nodded, "I understand, go ahead."
Yu Fangfang's smile froze on her face. She glanced at Yu Ziyin in confusion, as if she couldn't understand why Yu Ziyin wasn't angry that her father had gone to Aunt Yun's instead of Madam Yu's. She felt that if it were her, she would definitely be extremely angry, but Yu Ziyin didn't show any reaction at all, and her mood was very calm.
