Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder
Chapter 40 She No Longer Wants to Be the Heroine (40)
If the Crown Prince had not saved face for the Wei family and not disclosed to the public why Concubine Wei was punished, the fact that Concubine Wei accepted bribes in private would have been exposed long ago. How could she still stand next to Yu Zinyin and complain about these things?
Concubine Wei never thought that the old witch, Madam Ping, would actually dare to reveal her private information. She was furious but also defended herself, "This, this is nonsense! I have never accepted any gifts from Madam Guan. They sent them to me themselves. I was also harmed by them!"
Yu Ziyin looked at Concubine Wei's colorful face and hid the smile on the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief. "Sister, what you said is really funny. I heard from Madam Ping that you kept the gift lists submitted by those ladies at that time. You treasured them so much that you not only kept them in your dowry box but also hid them under the bed. Later, it was Mr. Shang who was beside His Highness who found them with his sharp eyes and hands. If sister really didn't know, then those gift lists could have grown legs and walked into your dowry box? And then the box grew legs and returned to your bed? This is really bizarre!"
Concubine Wei's face turned dark red after being stabbed. Finally, all her emotions turned into anger. She pointed at Yu Ziyin and said, "Liu! After all, I entered the backyard before you. How dare you play tricks on me like this? You made up such nonsense to slander my reputation! Do you even take me seriously?"
How could Yu Zinyin let her put this matter on her head? If this news got out, who knows who would make a fuss about it!
"Sister, why are you slandering me without any evidence? When did I ever slander your reputation? Isn't what I said the truth? If you think I've made a mistake, why don't we go to Madam Ping and have a good talk and ask about what happened? Otherwise, you'll have to tell others that I framed you without any reason, just like you told me that Madam Ping slandered you without any reason!"
How could Concubine Wei dare to argue with Madam Ping about this? She couldn't help but show her fear, but she still had to pretend to be humiliated. "You, you are so arrogant now, do you still have respect for the inferior? Do you think that just because you have the power of the housekeeper, you can do it? Just wait and see! People like you who flatter the weak and look down on the powerful will definitely not have a good end in the future!"
Yu Ziyin sneered, "Sister, you and I are on the same level, so when did you come up with the idea of flattering the weak and stepping down on the powerful? What's more, you were the one who started to sow discord between me and Nanny Ping. Didn't you think I couldn't see it? But now that your ugly deeds from that day have been exposed, you can't stand it? What? You are allowed to say bad things about others, but they are not allowed to say things about you? And when you said bad things about others, why didn't you think that you were flattering the weak and stepping down on the powerful? I said that you were flattering the weak and stepping down on the powerful? Sister, you are too lenient with yourself!"
"you you!"
The two started arguing, and their voices were not small, but no one dared to step forward. The people who followed Concubine Wei in the past were the ones who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Now seeing Concubine Wei being speechless after being scolded by Concubine Liu, they dared not step forward and stood far away. In the end, only Xiao Cui stepped forward to support Concubine Wei's shaky body.
The little girl Xi Que was completely dumbfounded. When did her own queen become so powerful?!
Concubine Wei had never expected that Yu Ziyin would not only see through her tricks but also humiliate her like this. However, she couldn't utter any words to refute him. She could only look at Yu Ziyin with hatred and curse her weakly, "I just wanted to help you out of kindness. If you don't like it, you don't have to hurt me like this! It's true that kindness doesn't go unrewarded. If you behave like this, who will dare to raise any opinions in front of you in the future? I'm afraid that you will think I have bad intentions, just like me!"
Yu Ziyin lifted the hair by her ear and said, "Whether my sister is kind or has ill intentions, we both know it. Only those with truly ill intentions dare not say anything in front of me. As for those who sincerely want to help me, even if I dislike them, I will accept their opinions for the sake of Your Highness's peaceful backyard. After all, I would never do anything to disappoint Your Highness."
At this point, what else could Concubine Wei say? Even if she was furious, she couldn't do anything to Yu Ziyin. She could only watch Yu Ziyin leave with Xi Que and the other servants. After Yu Ziyin left, she walked directly to the nearest lady and slapped her in the face, her face ferocious, and shouted, "Did you all just go mute? Normally, when you're talking to His Highness, you're so eloquent, you want to praise the heavens! Now that we need you, you're all playing dumb!"
How could those ladies dare to offend Concubine Wei, but they also couldn't afford to offend Yu Zinyin who had the power of housekeeper, so they could only be the punching bag in the middle and get neither good nor bad.
But Yu Ziyin didn't feel sorry for these people. Because Yu Ziyin had been favored in this world, these ladies didn't dare to show off in front of her. You have to know that in the original owner's previous life, these ladies were all arrogant and did a lot of things to hinder the original owner. For example, they secretly ordered the servants to feed the original owner rotten food and made her wear dirty clothes. Even the charcoal and quilts needed for winter were the worst and most inferior charcoal and thin quilts in the entire mansion. So why should these people be pitiful?
Of course, not all of these ladies followed Concubine Wei to cause trouble. Some of them did not get involved in the fight between Yu Zinyin and Concubine Wei. For example, Madam Wen had never made things difficult for the original owner in the original owner's world, and had not said anything bad about Yu Zinyin in secret now.
Mrs. Wen is like a transparent person in the Prince's Mansion. She has an ordinary appearance and an unpleasant personality. After spending the night with the Prince on the night she entered the backyard, she has never had any chance to see the Prince again. Now she has no choice but to decide to please Yu Zinyin.
The Wen family was a small family. Although his father and mother were in perfect harmony, his meager income alone was insufficient to support the family's expenses. Mother Wen often had to work to supplement the family's expenses. If it weren't for the fact that her younger brother Wen was about to go to school and needed to pay tuition to his teacher, Mother Wen would never have bothered Madam Wen.
Upon hearing this, Madam Wen gave her last remaining silver to her mother, then sold a few pieces of jewelry she had that were still up to date, scraping together half the sum. But it still wasn't enough. The tuition fees for teachers and professors in the capital were high. If you couldn't afford it, you'd be an illiterate commoner, and what good future could you have?
What's worse is that Mother Wen fainted from overwork because she was worried about Younger Wen's future. Now, in order to treat Mother Wen's illness, Father Wen even considered selling the main house to pay for medical treatment. When Mrs. Wen learned about it, she of course tried her best to dissuade him. She didn't want Father Wen, Mother Wen and Younger Wen to leave the capital. If they really sold the main house, they would have to move to their hometown in the countryside, and it would be extremely difficult to see each other again in the future.
She and her father agreed on a deadline. If she could not borrow money within three days, she would ask her father to sell the main house and take her mother and younger brother back to their hometown. Mother Wen's illness could only last for three days at most. If she was not treated after three days, her mother's life would be threatened.
