Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

Madam Yu pulled the hem of her skirt out of Yu Zixi's hands and glanced coldly at her and Aunt Wei. If the Right Prime Minister had given her full authority to deal with the matter, she would not have spared the lives of the mother and daughter. One would have died of diarrhea, and the other would have died of "illness". But because the Right Prime Minister was here and had no intention of giving her the right to deal with the matter, she turned her head and looked at the person above her, "Master, what should we do?"

Seeing this, Concubine Wei crawled to the right prime minister's side in a few steps, grabbed his sleeve, and even though she was pushed away, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Master, Zixi and I really know we were wrong. Please forgive us for the sake of being deceived!"

"You mean, if he really is a second-rank direct descendant of the Dong family, then you are right?" Madam Yu raised her eyebrows and asked.

Aunt Wei choked and was about to answer, "Yes, if Dong Zhe is really the son of the second-rank Dong family, then they are indeed not wrong."

Yu Zixi bit her lip. Although her father said that as the right prime minister, he did not need any help, which was true, it was her dream to marry a son of a second-rank family and become a noble lady. Her father loved her so much, why couldn't he understand her behavior?

Madam Yu saw the foolish way these two couldn't hide their thoughts and looked at the Right Prime Minister. "Master, did you see that too? They simply refuse to repent. Master, you are the Right Prime Minister, and yet these two are plotting a marriage with the Fourth Prince's direct cousins. They've almost pushed the Right Prime Minister's Mansion into the hands of His Majesty. They simply don't care about the safety of everyone in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. They only care about their own interests!"

"No, no..." Aunt Wei denied in panic.

Yu Zixi looked at the Right Prime Minister at a loss, "Father...you only said that we can't fight with the prince. I really didn't mean it..."

When she said this, she was actually feeling uneasy.

She knew that if she really did get into trouble with the Fourth Prince's cousin, the son of the second-rank Dong family, she would be dragging the entire Right Prime Minister's Mansion to stand on the Fourth Prince's side. But she also felt that she was just a concubine's daughter, and the impact would definitely not be that great. Outsiders would just make a few comments. As long as her father explained to the public that he was not on the Fourth Prince's side, wouldn't that be enough? Her father was the Emperor's most trusted right-hand man and would not deal with him casually.

Moreover, if she married into the family, she could become a royal consort without her natal family's support. In this way, she would have both honor and power. Why should she consider the crisis that the Right Prime Minister's Mansion would face because she married into the second-rank Dong family? She subconsciously ignored the feelings of her father, the Right Prime Minister, who loved her dearly.

She even thought that she was her father's daughter and her father loved her so much. He might be angry at first when he knew it, but as time went by, he would gradually forgive her.

To put it bluntly, she did this all because of her father's love for her, which made her feel confident.

The anger was no longer on the right prime minister's face. He looked at Yu Zixi and then at Aunt Wei, and the look in his eyes was frighteningly strange.

When he educated his children, he did not just let the teacher teach him. No matter how busy he was, he would always make time to talk to his children.

Because they are the daughters of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, they need to know some things about the court to guard against the schemes of villains. Therefore, the Right Prime Minister told his children about the dangers of the fighting among the princes. One careless mistake could lead to the destruction of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. He told them not to get close to the princes, nor to people who are close to the princes. But his fourth daughter, Yu Zixi, has become like this. He really doesn't understand where he went wrong in teaching them?

But now the mistake had been made, and undoing it would be incredibly difficult. He also didn't have the face to marry off a daughter like this and let her harm other families' children, so after a while, he said in a deep voice, "There was a burglary in the mansion, and Concubine Wei and the Fourth Young Miss were frightened. Concubine Wei fell ill and died, and the Fourth Young Miss fell into the water and was sent to a farm in the countryside to recuperate. Until she recovers, the Fourth Young Miss cannot enter the capital. As for Concubine Wei and the maids and nannies around the Fourth Young Miss, you, Madam, will handle their affairs."

Then he waved his hand and said, "Take it away."

Neither Yu Zixi nor Aunt Wei had expected that they would end up like this. Aunt Wei was closest to the Right Prime Minister and felt the cold and resolute aura from him firsthand. Her face was deathly pale and she couldn't even utter a word to beg for mercy.

However, Yu Zixi, who had been doted on by her father, could not accept this. After being shocked, she was in disbelief and cried out, "Father, I really know I was wrong. Can you please forgive me? I would rather stay at home with the green lamp by my side than go to the countryside! I can tell others now that I have cut off my worldly life and entered the Buddhist path. In the future, I will stay quietly in the yard and not go out! Please! Please, don't do this to me!"

Yu Zixi practically lowered herself to the ground, but no matter how much she begged for mercy, the Right Prime Minister didn't respond. He even glanced at the old maids who hesitated and didn't come up to take Yu Zixi away, "Are you deaf?"

Those people dared to step forward. Before, they were afraid that the Right Prime Minister would be soft-hearted towards the Fourth Young Lady who begged for mercy, so they did not go forward. However, seeing the Right Prime Minister's cold and ruthless look, they were also frightened. Knowing that the master was serious, they did not dare to hesitate any longer. They quickly reached out and grabbed Yu Zixi to drag her away. The other two old maids took a few steps forward and held down the heartbroken Concubine Wei. She did not resist as strongly as her daughter Yu Zixi, but her face was full of regret and despair.

Yu Zixi kept struggling, "Father, Dad! I was really wrong! I don't want to go to the countryside! I'd rather die than let you send your daughter to live that kind of hard life in the countryside!"

Madam Yu secretly rolled her eyes and wanted to say to her, "If that's the case, then go die."

The Right Prime Minister didn't even look at her. "If you have the courage, go ahead. I won't stop you."

Yu Zixi could disregard the reputation of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, the lives of everyone in the household, even her own father's life. Why couldn't he disregard her life? Furthermore, he had brought her into this world, letting her enjoy the life of a Right Prime Minister's young lady for over a decade, and this was how she repaid him! Such a heartless person.

When Yu Zixi heard her father's heartless words, she forgot to cry.

"Stuff her mouth and drag her out!" Mrs. Yu glanced at the two people being taken away with disgust.

When the study was empty, Madam Yu looked at the Right Prime Minister who was silent with his eyes closed. She wanted to say something comforting, but the Right Prime Minister spoke first, "After we deal with the people outside, there's still Dong Zhe..."

"Don't worry, master. Leave this matter to me. I will handle it." Madam Yu was a very good wife. She knew that this matter not only involved dealing with the maids and servants around Yu Zixi and Aunt Wei, but also that Dong Zhe.

"Yeah. You go out first."

The father-daughter relationship of more than ten years was finally hurt.

Madam Yu could only bow and leave. When she reached the corridor outside, she pointedly pointed at the maids and servants who were forced to kneel on the ground outside the study. She said to Nanny Wang beside her, "The maids and servants who followed the Fourth Young Lady and Concubine Wei, as well as the others who followed them out, send them all to the mansion in the countryside. But on the way, you will find a group of robbers to deal with them."
