Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

When Shao Lian heard Madam Ping talking about Yu Ziyin, his sharp expression softened a bit and he said, "How is your study with Madam Liu going lately?"

"Although the Concubine found it a little difficult to get started when she first took over, these things are always tedious and complicated. After learning and teaching a few times, the Concubine will understand. Now she can check the accounts and handle some financial and gift lists." As Nanny Ping said this, a look of satisfaction appeared on her face.

Just as Shao Lian thought, Yu Zinyin had a good learning ability, and she was also studious. It was not an exaggeration to say that she studied hard late into the night. If she were a man, Shao Lian felt that with her comprehension and studious nature, she should have passed the imperial examination and become the top scorer or third place winner like Cheng Ting.

"Okay." Shao Lian nodded with a smile and let Nanny Ping and the housekeeper leave. With the help of the housekeeper and Nanny Ping, Yu Zinyin would not make any big mistakes in things like birthday parties.

After the two left, Shao Lian finally set his eyes on Shang Liang, "How is it? That costume?"

On the first day Shao Lian and Yu Zinyin returned to the capital, he immediately asked Shang Liang to take the costume to a trusted imperial physician for inspection. Sure enough, the problem was found in it. Although the imperial physician could not see the problem as immediately as Yan Yue, he still smelled some wrong medicinal smell.

This confirmed that the problem was indeed with the costume. However, Shao Lian was still worried, so he asked the imperial physician to secretly go to Lanyue Pavilion to check one by one. In the end, they found that only the costume had a problem, which made Shao Lian feel relieved, but he was also very unhappy.

He asked Xi Que and Rong Mama, the maids around Yu Ziyin, and confirmed that because Yu Ziyin seldom left Lanyue Pavilion, and Shao Lian had previously said that no one was allowed to come to Lanyue Pavilion to disturb Yu Ziyin, other women had no chance to squeeze in.

The only possibility is that someone in Lanyue Pavilion was bribed and sold out his master for personal gain, and the person he harmed was someone Shao Lian cared about. How could Shao Lian let them go?

After receiving the order, Shang Liang began to investigate the situation in Lanyue Pavilion. There were countless secret guards in the entire Prince's Mansion. Even if the sound of footsteps passed over the heads of servants and maids, they might not notice it. Soon, they found out that the people who tampered with the costumes were two maids who cleaned the Lanyue Pavilion, Lanyue and Lanli, a pair of sisters.

The two sisters harmed Yu Zinyin just to get more money. In addition, the person who asked them to drug her told them that Yu Zinyin would never notice it. They tried it once and found that Yu Zinyin really didn't notice it. While secretly laughing at Yu Zinyin's stupidity, they were also tempted by greed for more money. After that, they applied medicine to Yu Zinyin's costumes several times.

Every time Yu Zinyin woke up in the middle of the night, they might have been laughing at her for being unprepared.

Shao Lian, who came to Lanyue Pavilion at night, told Yu Ziyin what the two had done, and then said, "These two people are from your Lanyue Pavilion, so you can deal with them yourself."

It’s not that Shao Lian doesn’t want to do it himself, but he hopes that Yu Zinyin can stand on her own instead of relying on him for everything.

Yu Zinyin really didn't pay attention to these maids who cleaned the house on weekdays, but she was good to Rong Mama and Xi Que, so she naturally treated the servants well. If she received any rewards from Shao Lian, she would give the servants more rewards than those in other courtyards. She just hoped that they could do their job well and not cause her any trouble.

Unexpectedly, she still raised two ungrateful people. Yu Zinyin did not deal with the two cleaning maids immediately. She knew that Shao Lian was handling this matter now. If she dealt with these two people now, wouldn't it alert the enemy?

So she raised her eyes to look at Shao Lian, "What about the others? How will Your Highness deal with them?"

She didn't think that two maids could get such a powerful poison. There must be someone behind the scenes directing these two people. But at the same time, she also had a worry in her heart, that is, Shao Lian did not tell her who the person behind the scenes was and how to deal with it?

This made Yu Zinyin feel uneasy. Could it be that Shao Lian would let those people go?

This is not impossible. After all, he is the crown prince. It is normal for him to be concerned about the forces from all sides and not to act for the time being.

But she was afraid that Shao Lian would think she was being arrogant because of his favor, so she added, "Actually, this didn't cause any substantial harm to me. For the sake of His Highness's backyard, I quietly dealt with those two people. It's okay to let this matter go."

Shao Lian looked at her sideways, raised an eyebrow, "Qingqing, are you really so kind? Don't you want me to catch the people behind them and beat them up to vent your anger?"

Yu Ziyin really wanted to nod and say yes, but she tugged at the handkerchief in her hand and said, "I am thinking about the peace of His Highness's backyard."

Shao Lian almost laughed at her virtuous appearance.

He smiled, reaching out and pinching the tip of her nose. "Qingqing, your grievances are written all over your face. Do you really care about my backyard? You don't even want to tell me the truth? Is that why you don't trust me?"

Yu Ziyin raised her eyes to glance at him, then lowered her head to look at the handkerchief in her hand, "Trust."

It's obvious that he's lying.

Shao Lian didn't even want to expose her. He could see that Yu Zinyin didn't trust him at all.

Sometimes he actually wondered why Yu Zinyin didn't trust him to make decisions for her?

If Yu Zinyin knew what he was wondering about, she would be speechless.

Whether in the original book or in the original owner's memory, Shao Lian is a cold-hearted man. Although he would not drag out and kill the women in the backyard or hold them as pawns in his interest alliance, he is not a good husband candidate.

Moreover, Yu Ziyin had to rely on Shao Lian to survive this world and complete the system's tasks, otherwise she would really die. With these two reasons, didn't Yu Ziyin feel terrified in front of Shao Lian? She felt that Shao Lian was heartless, and didn't Shao Lian also feel that Yu Ziyin was difficult to approach?

But Shao Lian had plenty of patience and time to waste with Yu Ziyin.

At that moment, Shao Lian pulled her into his arms. Seeing this, Rong Mama and the others immediately went out and closed the door. Shao Lian lifted her little face and looked at her, "You say you trust me, but you are always so cautious. You can actually take advantage of my favor and be a little more arrogant."

Yu Ziyin was a little dumbfounded. Looking at his encouraging eyes, she thought she had to get a promise first. She put her arm around his shoulders and said softly, "I'll tell you the truth. You can't be angry. Even if you're angry, you can't leave. Even if you leave, you can't leave me. In short, you can't really be angry with me."

Shao Lian enjoyed the beauty's coquettish behavior and nodded in agreement, "You say."

Yu Ziyin hesitated for a while before saying, "I'm actually very angry. When I think about how I was almost ruined by that costume, I feel a chill down my spine. So I really want to retaliate, not just against those two maids, I also want to catch the person behind them. I know that those two people can't be so bold and capable of drugging me, but why don't you tell me who is behind them? Shao Lang wants to protect that person, right? If you really protect that person, I will be very uncomfortable..."

Yu Ziyin spoke softer and softer as she spoke later, which perfectly portrayed her aggrieved and timid look, but Shao Lian could hear the uneasiness in her heart.
