Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

The reason why Yu Zinyin was not angry was because she knew the personalities of Madam Yu and the Right Prime Minister. Madam Yu did not care about the other women in the Right Prime Minister's backyard at all. Coming from a prominent family, she cared more about her own things, her children, and whether her status was threatened. She would not care about the rest. As for the Right Prime Minister, he was a workaholic and a straight man in modern terms. You would not get anything by playing the victim to such a person. Being straightforward would sometimes win his heart.

It’s a pity that what Aunt Yun and Aunt Wei asked for could not be said directly, so they could only mention it to the Right Prime Minister in a tactful way, which resulted in the Right Prime Minister not wanting to use his rest time to have too much interaction with them, so what did she need to worry about?

Yu Fangfang didn't know this. She was filled with resentment towards Yu Ziyin's indifference and indifference towards her provocation, but she had no choice but to grit her teeth and leave. She thought that when her father came in the evening, she would let her aunt and father complain about how unhappy they had been recently. Perhaps, she would be allowed to attend the banquet as an exception. Then Yu Ziyin would have no choice but to stare blankly!

After Yu Fangfang and her men left, Cuiguo couldn't help but say to Yu Ziyin, "Miss, look at how smug she is. If you didn't know, you'd think the Right Prime Minister really likes Concubine Yun!"

Yu Ziyin chuckled, "You won't be so proud for long."

At night, the Right Prime Minister walked wearily to the Bishui Courtyard. Before he even entered the courtyard, Aunt Yun ran out holding the Right Prime Minister's illegitimate son, Yu Qi. She glanced at the Right Prime Minister with a mixture of happiness and shyness, and nudged Yu Qi, who she had placed on the ground, "Xiao Qi, say hello to your father!"

Yu Qi, deeply influenced by Aunt Yun's teachings, put his flattering behavior into practice thoroughly. He stretched out his hands and grabbed the right prime minister's robe, "Father! Xiao Qi misses you so much. You haven't come to see Xiao Qi for a long time!"

The Right Prime Minister reached out and touched his head, "Isn't this coming to see you?"

"Master, your favorite dishes are ready inside. It's cold outside, shall we go in?" Aunt Yun took the Right Prime Minister's hand and led him inside.

"Ah."

At the dinner table, Yu Qi behaved very well, eating whatever was given to him. He even turned around and told You Xiang that this one was more delicious, so that his father could eat first. Seeing this, You Xiang felt that his tired body and mind were relieved a little.

Aunt Yun stood up and said to the Right Prime Minister with a smile, "Master, I have specially prepared a pot of good wine for you. Would you like to drink some?"

"No, I'll go take a bath after dinner and rest early," said the Right Prime Minister. He had to get up early tomorrow to discuss some official business with His Majesty, so he couldn't drink.

Aunt Yun frowned secretly. She didn't want to rest so soon. She still had a lot to say to the Right Prime Minister! She bit her lip and said, "Then why don't you drink? Let me play some relaxing music for you."

"No need, Yunniang, just eat. If you don't want to eat, ask the servants to prepare hot water for me. I'll take a bath after I finish eating." The right prime minister said without interest.

Concubine Yun's smile froze on her face. She glanced at the Right Prime Minister and had to speak frankly, "Actually, I have something to say to you, Master."

This time, the Right Prime Minister finally looked at her seriously, "What's the matter?"

Madam Yun considered her words carefully and told Yu Fangfang that she wanted her to attend the banquet to meet some wealthy young ladies and gentlemen. She then said, "I know the mistress has been very busy lately. I heard that she hasn't been attending the banquet because of the second young lady's wedding. But this is after all a matter concerning my child's lifelong event, so it can't be delayed. I can't just focus on the second young lady's marriage and ignore my other children."

The Right Prime Minister frowned, "I asked my wife to do this."

"Huh?" Aunt Yun was dumbfounded.

The Right Prime Minister said, "How old is Fangfang? She'll only be 13 this Chinese New Year. There's no need to rush into marriage. Even if she's past her 15th birthday, I can still find a good match for her."

"But Fangfang has been locked up in the yard recently and she is really depressed. She is not a talkative person usually. She improved once when she went out with the lady before, but now she has returned to her old state. Master, please feel sorry for Fangfang, right? Let her go to the banquet. Just let her bring a few old maids with her, and the lady doesn't have to go in person..." Aunt Yun pulled the sleeve of the Right Prime Minister.

"Nonsense!" The Right Prime Minister's tone turned cold as he watched Concubine Yun's unreasonable behavior. "Which girl in the capital isn't taken out by her mistress when she goes out to see someone else? Are you just hoping that Fangfang will be laughed at as a girl who's eager to get married? If she's bored, let her and her friends go on a boat trip to enjoy the flowers, and the expenses will be paid by Madam. As for the rest, don't say anything more, I don't want to hear it."

After saying this, he stood up and prepared to leave. Yu Qi, who had been sitting quietly beside him, grabbed the right prime minister's sleeve and cried, "Father! Are you like my stepmother, and don't want my sister to marry a rich man? If she doesn't get married soon, what will I do when I'm broke? You're such a bad guy!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Aunt Yun quickly covered Yu Qi's mouth. She looked at the gloomy Right Prime Minister in panic, "Master, the child is just talking nonsense in anger. Don't take it to heart..."

If she didn't want the Right Prime Minister to leave just now, now she just wanted him to leave here quickly and not get entangled with her, but the Right Prime Minister sat down instead and looked at Aunt Yun with sharp eyes.

"Let him go and let him finish."

The Right Prime Minister, who was the head of all officials and second only to the emperor, exerted such pressure that Yun Yi Niang could not match it. She let go of her hand without hesitation. Yu Qi, who had no manners, was still crying and hitting Yun Yi Niang who had just covered his mouth.

"Xiao Qi, talk to your father and tell him why Sister Fangfang doesn't get married soon. Otherwise, you will have no money to spend." The Right Prime Minister tried to soften his tone and said to Yu Qi.

Yu Qi cried, "That's what my aunt said! If Yu Fangfang doesn't get married soon, she won't be able to marry into a good family when she's older, and she won't be able to get a high betrothal gift. Then I won't have money to marry a wife and buy a house, and my stepmother will drive her out and make her a beggar in the future. Father, Xiao Qi is so scared, can you please let Yu Fangfang get married quickly? I don't like her living in the mansion!"

In the past, in order to consolidate her position in front of the children and vent her dissatisfaction with the mistress, Aunt Yun said a lot of bad things about Madam Yu in front of Yu Qi, who was only seven years old. At the same time, she constantly instilled in Yu Qi the idea that Yu Fangfang was his sister, and that Yu Fangfang and Yu Fangfang's husband's family should support him in the future. She told him that if Yu Fangfang did not marry into a good family quickly, it was because she was blocked by the mistress, and then he would have no money, no house, and no wife in the future, and would lose to others in every way, and would be a pauper all his life, and be laughed at by others.

Yu Qi remembered all these in his heart and stammered out loud in front of the Right Prime Minister. Concubine Yun, who loved her son the most, now wanted to cover his mouth and tell him to be quiet. She didn't even dare to look up to meet the Right Prime Minister's gaze. She was extremely afraid of what would happen next.

The Right Prime Minister had a gloomy face. He picked up the crying Yu Qi and glanced coldly at Aunt Yun. "From today on, you are confined to the Bishui Courtyard. Don't even think about coming out without my permission. As for Xiao Qi and Fang Fang, I will send them to Madam to raise them."
