Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

Cheng Ting did not show much sadness or happiness in front of Liu's father. He was now better and better at hiding his emotions, and Liu's father did not notice anything. After Cheng Ting agreed to stop writing letters, he took out the token they exchanged when they got engaged and returned it to the other party. Cheng Ting also exchanged the token in his hand with him.

Finally, the two of them set a date to go to the Liu family to cancel the engagement, and the matter ended quietly.

After Liu's father left, Cheng Ting couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at the token in his hand. How glorious it was that he was engaged to the eldest daughter of the Liu family, but how quietly he was broken off today. It was said that it was Cheng Ting who broke off the engagement on his own initiative, but in fact, Cheng Ting was the one who was broken off.

Cheng Ting knew in his heart that he had no right to blame anyone. This was the result of his youthful vigor. He could only smile bitterly, shake his head and go back to the study to deal with chores.

After returning home, Liu's father told Liu's mother that Cheng Ting had agreed to come to the Liu Mansion to cancel the engagement. Liu's mother was overjoyed after hearing this, thinking that she had finally kicked Cheng Ting, who was holding her daughter back! Otherwise, who knew what trouble this kid would cause in the future!

Liu Xian had just returned from outside and was about to greet his mother when he saw her face filled with joy. He couldn't help but wonder, as his father had already left, otherwise Liu Xian wouldn't have dared to sit next to his mother casually. "Mom, what happened? What makes you so happy?"

Mother Liu couldn't stop laughing. "Your eldest sister's marriage is off. How can a mother not be happy?"

"Really?!" Liu Xian actually looked down on Cheng Ting. After learning about the conversation between Liu's father and Cheng Ting, he stood up happily. But he soon remembered his eldest sister's obsession with Cheng Ting and asked hesitantly, "Have you told your eldest sister about this?"

"Need I say more? Children's marriages are decided by their parents, what can your elder sister say? Besides, Cheng Ting is in this state now, your elder sister will suffer if she marries him! Zi Yu must be crazy to be satisfied with him!" Mother Liu glanced at her son.

Liu Xian didn't say much about this. After all, marriage is indeed a matter of parents' management. Even if the eldest sister cried and made a fuss, it would probably only last for a while. When she married into her new husband's family and enjoyed a happy life, she would understand the good intentions of her parents.

After talking about her eldest daughter, Liu's mother couldn't help but think of her youngest daughter. In fact, Liu's mother also wanted to go and see her youngest daughter, Liu Zinyin, but the prince had just recovered from his illness not long ago, and the two were in love, so Liu's mother didn't want to disturb them. Now that the time was almost up, she proposed to go and see her youngest daughter.

Liu Xian also asked to go with them, and Liu's mother did not refuse. Although men were not allowed to enter the backyard of the Prince's Mansion, because Shao Lian doted on his youngest daughter and would not stay long, but only in Concubine Liu's yard, she reluctantly agreed.

This time, Liu's mother met her youngest daughter not only because she missed her, but also for her youngest son's marriage. Her youngest daughter is now the prince's favorite concubine. If the prince could find a good marriage for her youngest son, that would be perfect!

As for why she didn't ask the Crown Prince to find a marriage for her eldest daughter? After all, there is a difference between men and women, and the eldest and youngest daughters are of similar age. Liu's mother was also afraid that her eldest daughter would be taken in by Shao Lian as a concubine. Although the Crown Prince was not stupid or lustful, and might not look down on his eldest daughter, there were cases in history where the Crown Prince or the Emperor took in sisters from the same family. Liu's mother was also afraid that people would think that she or the Liu family were planning to bring her eldest daughter close to the Crown Prince, which would damage the Liu family's reputation.

Soon, the date for the home visit was set.

……

Yu Ziyin didn't think it was a bad thing that Liu's mother and Liu Xian came to her house, because in the original world, Liu's mother and Liu Xian were both really sad about their little daughter (sister) who didn't compete for favor and ended her life hastily. The two seemed to have more feelings than Liu's father. After all, Liu's father didn't shed a single tear, and even secretly despised the original owner's weakness and incompetence.

When Liu's mother and Liu Xian were brought into Lanyue Pavilion by Rong Mama, they were shocked by its prosperity.

Liu Xian was fine. As a man, he didn't pay much attention to these things. He was just happy for his sister because he knew that her life was better here than at home.

Mother Liu, who considered herself accustomed to fine things, could not help but confirm her youngest daughter's place in the prince's heart. Looking at the exquisite screen, she recognized it as a gift from the current empress dowager at the prince's birthday banquet. The empress dowager's things were truly fine! Now that the prince had given it to his youngest daughter, didn't that just show how much he doted on Ziyin?

Although this was a gift from the Queen Mother to the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince could not openly give the gift from the Queen Mother to Yu Ziyin, as that would be a slap in the face of the Queen Mother. This also indirectly shows the royal family's recognition of their youngest daughter.

However, Mother Liu thought about how her youngest daughter had risked her own life to care for the Crown Prince, and she felt that this was what she deserved. Although she herself did not know the truth, from what Father Liu had learned about the Crown Prince's condition, she knew how seriously ill he was, and that it was a contagious disease that required her youngest daughter to cut her flesh and bleed in order to alleviate his illness. Her youngest daughter was risking her life for wealth and status.

The more Liu's mother thought about it, the more her nose felt sore. Although she was a bit old-fashioned and felt that daughters were not as good as sons, she also loved her two daughters. When she saw Yu Zinyin, who had lost a lot of weight, she hugged Yu Zinyin and cried with real emotion.

When Liu Xian saw this scene, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he secretly turned his head to wipe them away.

Yu Zinyin pretended to cry and showed Liu Mu and Liu Xian the wound she had bandaged for the sake of acting. In fact, she just smeared some blood-like stuff on it and wrapped it with cloth. It looked scary even then, so naturally no one would have the courage to look at the arm with cut flesh and bleeding.

Even Xi Que and Rong Mama were unaware of the situation and wanted to help Yu Zinyin change the medicine, but were rejected by Yu Zinyin. Yu Zinyin said that she had Doctor Li, who was treating Shao Lian, to help change the medicine, and she didn't want to make Rong Mama and Xi Que sad, so Rong Mama and Xi Que had nothing to say.

Liu's mother asked about Yu Ziyin's experience of taking care of the patient. Yu Ziyin picked out some of the stories that he and Shao Lian had made up and told them to Liu's mother. Both Liu's mother and Liu Xian were frightened.

In order to gain fame for Yu Zinyin after she had just recovered from a serious illness, Shao Lian fabricated a story about Yu Zinyin that made her life extremely miserable. If Yu Zinyin hadn't found it outrageous, Shao Lian would have told others that Yu Zinyin almost died from excessive blood loss.

After listening to Yu Ziyin's story, Mother Liu patted her hand, wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, and sighed, "Yin'er, you've finally found happiness after all the hardships you've endured. It's all good. Now, our family is doing well thanks to you. Everyone who sees your father and me says we've raised a wonderful daughter. Even His Majesty praised your father for his parenting skills in the court."

Yu Zinyin learned from Shao Lian that the emperor knew the inside story. She knew that the emperor rewarded Liu Jia not because of her meritorious service in taking care of the sick, but because he knew that she saved the prince from a group of assassins. Although not only she was present at the time, but Shang Liang, Wei Zhe and others could also save the prince, it did not prevent her from having made a contribution.

So she really didn't feel any guilt at all about receiving this award.
