Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

The second time was at the Fourth Prince's banquet. At that time, everyone was paying attention to the Fourth Prince who was in a bad mood, and Yu Zixi even left the table once during the period. Therefore, no one around recognized Yu Zixi's identity. They just thought that she and Dong Zhe were newlyweds and were in love. As long as she didn't do anything too excessive, everyone naturally accepted it with tolerance.

At this time, Yu Zixi turned sideways, revealing her smiling face. She held the cloth in one hand and placed it on Dong Zhe for comparison. Dong Zhe boldly held her little hand holding the cloth and looked at Yu Zixi with a dark look.

Yu Zixi smiled shyly and turned her face to the side, and at this moment her face was facing Wang Ma's gaze.

When Nanny Wang saw that it was Yu Zixi, her expression changed. She quickly grabbed Madam Yu, who was selecting fabrics with her daughter, and said, "Madam..."

Madam Yu raised her eyes and asked, "Hmm?"

Nanny Wang pointed in Yu Zixi's direction vaguely. Seeing that she looked unhappy, Madam Yu subconsciously frowned and looked over. As a result, she naturally saw Dong Zhe and Yu Zixi getting along as sweetly as a newlywed couple. In an instant, her face turned pale, and then, a huge rage surged in her mind.

If she hadn't been concerned about the presence of so many other people, she would have sent someone to arrest her. However, because that would have let everyone know that she might be the Right Prime Minister's daughter, and thus affect the reputation of all the women in the Right Prime Minister's household and the mansion, she had no choice but to hold back. Otherwise, she would have definitely slapped that shameless girl in the face.

Yu Ziyin also happened to look up, pretending to have just seen this scene. With fear on her face, she grabbed Madam Yu's sleeve and said in panic, "Mother, what should I do? If this gets out, my daughter's reputation will be ruined... Will the Cheng'en Mansion still want me?"

Seeing that Yu Ziyin had also discovered it, Madam Yu could only try to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, mother will handle it. She will definitely not let this matter affect my son. Let's go back to the mansion first."

After Mrs. Yu calmed down, she began to look around. She remembered that day that Concubine Wei had told her that she would come out with Yu Zixi. Now that Yu Zixi was here, where was Concubine Wei?

Finally, her gaze fixed on Aunt Wei, who was standing by the door not far away, pretending to look at the handkerchief but actually keeping watch over her daughter. A deep disgust and sinister look flashed in her eyes.

Good, this bitch! How dare she do such a shameless thing, keeping watch for her daughter who was hooking up with a dubious man? What's the difference between her and a pimp? I thought she would behave after that beating! But it turned out to be even more infuriating than that always-jumping Concubine Yun!

Didn't they ever think about what would happen if they were recognized by someone who knew them after doing such a thing in public?

The reason why Madam Yu thought Dong Zhe was a man of questionable character was that she had never seen such a person as Dong Zhe in her social list. Madam Yu could not say that she was familiar with all the sons of officials, but within the scope of the marriage of several children, there was no one that Madam Yu did not know. Therefore, the men who were not on the list of people she knew were automatically classified as men of questionable character.

Before leaving, Madam Yu asked Nanny Wang to ask the owner of the clothing store who the man who was hanging out with Yu Zixi was, and then she hurriedly took her daughter away. She herself wanted to break off all ties with the man, so how could she be willing to let her daughter stay there for a long time?

After returning home, Madam Yu went to find the Right Prime Minister who was on vacation today. At this time, even if the Right Prime Minister was very busy, Madam Yu still forced her way in and told him about this matter. The Right Prime Minister listened with a frown on his face.

After a long pause, the Right Prime Minister pondered, "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

In the Right Prime Minister's mind, Yu Zixi had always been like Concubine Wei, a relatively honest and dutiful person. But what had he heard now? His honest and dutiful fourth daughter was out in public, holding hands with a man like newlyweds, choosing fabric for each other? And his honest and dutiful Concubine Wei was keeping watch for them?

What kind of nightmare is this?

This was even more of a bolt from the blue for him than the Right Prime Minister being impeached by his enemies in the court.

"This concerns the children's reputations, how could I be wrong?" Madam Yu's face was filled with anger, and her voice became sharper. "If you don't believe me, send your men over now. They will definitely be able to see it. But be careful not to be spotted by Concubine Wei who is on the lookout, or you might alert the enemy."

The right prime minister did so and sent people to investigate secretly.

It's not that he didn't believe Madam Yu, but he thought it was too absurd. He had to confirm it personally, but he couldn't go there himself to catch the adulterer, so he could only let his confidant go there.

During this period, Nanny Wang also came back and explained Dong Zhe's identity to the host family. She said that although he was related to the Dong family, he was just an unimportant branch and was just a son of the seventh rank.

This was because Dong Zhe always liked to buy the latest fashions in this clothing store. After many transactions, the store owner learned about it. In order to get the information and shut the store owner up, Nanny Wang secretly gave him a lot of money.

The shopkeeper was generous after receiving the money and gave Nanny Wang another message.

It is said that although Dong Zhe spent a lot of money every time he came here, he just bought ready-made clothes and left. He never bought some matching linings, belts, shoes and socks. A truly rich person would not deliberately pick out matching ready-made clothes, belts, shoes and socks. He would just buy the whole set. So it is obvious that Dong Zhe's family is financially tight, but in order to save face, he still spent a lot of money to buy gorgeous clothes to wear outside. To put it bluntly, he is a poor man who loves face.

So when the shopkeeper saw that such a man could marry that well-dressed young lady, he complained to Wang Ma that the girl had no taste. Wang Ma didn't know whether to scold him or agree that he was right.

After the Right Prime Minister and Madam Yu heard what Nanny Wang said, even the Right Prime Minister, who was still not sure, was furious.

Madam Yu smashed the teacup in her hand. Even her extremely restrained self-control couldn't help but give way at this moment. She cursed in a low voice, "Shame on you! This evil creature is a fool! Did she think that Dong Zhe was a legitimate heir of the Dong family, and that's why she rushed over to have a secret meeting with him? Master, if that's the case, then Concubine Wei and Yu Zixi are trying to drag our Right Prime Minister's Mansion to the side of the Fourth Prince!"

At this time, Madam Yu felt fortunate that Dong Zhe was not a direct descendant, but just a seventh-rank side branch. Even if the two had interacted before, and even to the extent that Madam Yu dared not imagine, it did not matter, because Dong Zhe had no major relationship with Concubine Dong and the direct descendants of the Dong family. If the emperor still had doubts about this and believed that the Right Prime Minister's Mansion had selfish motives, they could also directly cut ties with Yu Zixi. After all, what was there for such a shameless concubine who had a relationship with Dong Zhe to do?

Therefore, Dong Zhe's plan to use his family to suck the blood of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion failed from the beginning. The Right Prime Minister's Mansion was so disgusted by the other party's schemes that they were already sickened. How could they possibly support them? There was even a high possibility that they would be ostracized by the Right Prime Minister and Madam Yu in various places, and their lives would only become more difficult than before.

The veins on the Right Prime Minister's forehead were already throbbing, but he still raised his hand to stop Madam Yu from speaking, "Don't get angry yet. Let's talk about everything after the two of you return home."

After speaking to Madam Yu, he instructed the others, "When Concubine Wei and the Fourth Young Miss return, bring them to the study immediately."

"Yes!"
