Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

The present Yu Qi will never be able to understand the thoughts of the past Yu Qi.

Maybe it was due to his age or maybe it was because he was stupid himself, so he actually regarded his sister's dowry as his own way out, and treated the future of his biological sister Yu Fangfang, who had the same father and mother as him, as a matter of no importance, turning himself into a selfish and self-centered bastard who could only be called a scum.

He always wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to Yu Fangfang, but every time he arrived at the gate of Bishuiyuan, he hesitated. He was timid, cowardly and inferior. He was afraid to face his sister's eyes and afraid to see his former self.

So now that Yu Fangfang had found him, Yu Qi was a little panicked at first, but after reacting, he grabbed Yu Fangfang's arm and interrupted her words earnestly, saying, "Sister Fangfang, those were bestowed upon Second Sister by the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress. They were naturally intended to be used as her dowry. They were impossible to give to Big Brother, me, or the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. Even if Second Sister wanted to, Father and Mother wouldn't let such a thing happen. If these things got out, others would only laugh at us, the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, for being undisciplined and embezzling even our daughter's dowry."

Yu Fangfang was stunned for a moment, but still said stubbornly: "But you are her brother, even if you are just her illegitimate brother, you are still her brother. She has so much dowry in her hands, she should take the initiative to stand up and ask to share it with you, not to mention that you are now under the name of the mistress, and you are a legitimate child like hers, so she should give you the dowry."

"No, Sister Fangfang, this is not what a gentleman does, and this is not the principle we should learn. Please don't interrupt me and just listen to me..." Seeing Yu Fangfang calm down, Yu Qi's face began to feel a little ashamed, and it became more and more red. If there was a crack in the ground, he would probably crawl into it on the spot.

It was also after he went to live with his mother and was personally taught by her that he realized how ridiculous the things he had learned from his aunt were. She believed that his sister was born to sacrifice for him and that her dowry would belong to him after she got married. She believed that he was a man and that all women, including his future wife and daughter, should listen to him and respect him unconditionally. All these principles were wrong.

But he couldn't directly tell her that it was wrong to kiss her, so he could only give her a hint as tactfully as possible.

Yu Qi said, "Sister Fangfang, I'm sorry. I've done so many wrong things in the past. Because I was so willful, I did things that were disrespectful to you and Auntie. I'm sorry. I actually thought everyone in the world should listen to me. Now I realize how foolish and willful I was. That's why I repeatedly trampled on the dignity of you and Auntie, disregarding the hierarchy and showing no filial piety..."

"I considered your marriage a stepping stone to my future career, shamelessly wanting your dowry, but I never considered the difference between me and those parasites out there who spend their entire lives doing nothing but sucking their parents' blood. And why should you devote your entire life to me? You're also a human being, sharing the same blood as me. We're siblings, and we should support and rely on each other to live a peaceful and smooth life, just like how my eldest brother and second sister get along..."

At the beginning, Yu Fangfang listened to Yu Qi's words quite seriously. Over the years, she had been taught by Aunt Yun to become a complete brother-supporting demon, so she would listen carefully to what her brother said.

In fact, she once had some complaints about using her marriage to pave the way for her brother, but because of Aunt Yun's suppression, she could not say anything even if she felt aggrieved. Later, she numbly accepted the brainwashing.

So now, after hearing Yu Qi's words, her first reaction was to frown, wondering who on earth had come to her little brother and said such nonsense. This was her own dowry, she could give it to whomever she wanted, why did others have the right to say anything in front of Yu Qi? She felt that someone was jealous and afraid that Yu Qi would get her dowry. It must be Madam Yu or Yu Li. They did this because they were afraid that Yu Qi would get her dowry and bring his illegitimate child to a prosperous future.

My aunt had already said that my younger brother could recite the Three Character Classic shortly after he was born, and my father had even praised him. Such intelligence naturally made the direct descendants wary. So, even after snatching my younger brother away, she still encouraged all these nonsense in front of the young brother! If she hadn't been clear-headed, I'm afraid she would have been tricked by Madam Yu or Yu Li just like my younger brother!

Yu Fangfang's reaction was even greater when she heard Yu Qi mention his elder brother Yu Li and Yu Zinyin, whom she hated.

What does it mean to support each other like the eldest brother and the second sister? My younger brother must have been bewitched by that brother and sister during this period of time. Otherwise, why would my younger brother, who used to dislike the two legitimate children just like me, now speak well of them in front of me?

These thoughts were further confirmed after Yu Fangfang took a look at the changes in Yu Qi's clothing and his increased weight. Madam Yu, Yu Li, and Yu Ziyin were truly cunning. They had used these benefits to coax a child, snatching away her aunt and her future support. Not only that, they also wanted to completely alienate their relationship with her younger brother! Shameless to the extreme!

Yu Qi spoke sincerely but he didn't know that Yu Fangfang was not listening to his apology at all. Later, Yu Qi even cried while speaking, but Yu Fangfang just looked at him with indifference, without any kindness as before, which made Yu Qi feel even more uncomfortable and regretful.

"Sister Fangfang, I don't ask you to forgive me, I just ask you to give me a chance to make it up to me. I will ask my father to take you out of Bishuiyuan, and we can build our own yard and live on our own, okay?" Yu Qi's eyes were red, and he grabbed Yu Fangfang's sleeve and pleaded in a low voice.

Watching this scene, Yu Fangfang's eyes were filled with anger. She wanted to tell Yu Qi, "You've been deceived by Madam Yu and the others. What they taught you is fundamentally wrong. We are siblings, and we are also Aunt Yun's biological children. As an older sister, I have to sacrifice for my brother. How can that be wrong?" They said that because they didn't want you to have a promising future so that you could support Aunt Yun. Do you understand that?

But just when she was about to say something, a voice interrupted Yu Fangfang's words and Yu Qi's crying.

"Little brother? Why are you crying?"

Yu Ziyin and Cuiguo, having received the news, came over with a long line of servants behind them. She held Yu Qi's tear-stained face in her white hands, wiping away the tears with a clean handkerchief in the other. Her eyes were filled with confusion and concern. "Huh? Why are you crying? Third sister, do you know what's going on?"

"Second sister..." Yu Qi's eyelashes fluttered as he called out to Yu Ziyin sweetly. Then, he cautiously glanced in Yu Fangfang's direction. Seeing her gloomy expression, Yu Qi didn't dare to speak out. He was afraid that if he did, Fangfang would feel embarrassed in front of him and feel bad, which would make her already bad mood even worse. So, Yu Qi just shook his head and said, "It's just the wind and sand that blinded my eyes. Sister Fangfang is checking my eyes for me. Second sister, I'm fine."

Yu Ziyin lowered her eyes and glanced at Yu Fangfang's position out of the corner of her eye. She didn't ask Yu Qi any more questions, but just smiled and said, "Really? Third sister, is that so?"

After saying that, she stood up, put her hands on Yu Qi's shoulders, and looked straight at Yu Fangfang in front of her. This posture was like a declaration of possession of Yu Qi, which made Yu Fangfang feel very uncomfortable and unhappy.
