Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

Afterwards, Madam Wen went to Concubine Wei and begged her for help. She humbly told her family about their difficulties and hoped that Concubine Wei would lend her some money, which she would return when she could make ends meet. But how could Concubine Wei take Madam Wen, who was nothing, seriously? Not only did she mock her coldly, she also humiliated her.

Mrs. Wen cried a lot after she returned. Now she heard about the quarrel between Concubine Wei and Concubine Liu in the back garden, and she also unexpectedly learned that Concubine Liu had obtained the right to housekeeper. She had been kept out of the news before, and it was only because the incident in the back garden became a big deal that she realized that Concubine Liu was so favored.

So she couldn't help but place her hopes on Concubine Liu, because her younger brother Wen was about to start school, and Madam Wen didn't dare to delay any longer, so she hurried to Lanyue Pavilion to ask to see Yu Zinyin.

On this day, Yu Ziyin was sorting out accounts in Lanyue Pavilion. Because she had been keeping her head down, her back and waist ached. Xi Que and Rong Mama were standing by, one massaging her back and shoulders while the other poured tea and ground ink, which made Yu Ziyin feel a little more relaxed.

"Your Majesty, Madam Wen requests an audience."

Yu Ziyin raised her eyes, "What is she doing here?"

Ever since she took charge of the account books of the backyard, she roughly knew how many concubines there were in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion, what their names were, where they lived, how much monthly allowance, cloth, rouge, etc. they could get from the public treasury, and she even knew the rewards these concubines had received in previous years.

So she was not unfamiliar with Mrs. Wen. Except for the fact that they had never met, she knew all the basic information about her. However, the account book did not record the matters concerning Mrs. Wen's family. These matters were all told to her by Wen's mother during the routine monthly meetings.

"Madam Wen said she wanted to borrow money from the Empress. As for the reason, I didn't ask." said the maid.

Yu Ziyin was surprised, but did not refuse. She said, "Let her in."

Madam Wen knelt down in front of Yu Ziyin as soon as she came in, "Please have mercy on me, Madam Concubine!"

Although Yu Ziyin was a concubine of a higher rank, she had only been in charge of the backyard for a short time. If outsiders saw Madam Wen kneeling in front of Yu Ziyin, it would not be a good thing for Yu Ziyin, so Xi Que quickly stepped forward and helped Madam Wen up.

Madam Wen sobbed but was unwilling to get up from the ground. She only cried and begged Yu Ziyin over there, "My Lady Concubine, please save my mother and my little brother!"

"You should stand up and sit down first, and explain everything clearly, then I will know how to help you." Yu Zinyin did not agree immediately just because of the other party's tears. She waved her hand and asked Rong Mama to come forward and help Xi Que to help Madam Wen up.

After Mrs. Wen sat down, she told the story of the Wen family's situation. When she mentioned that her mother was too worried and bedridden, she almost fainted from crying. She also talked about how her younger brother Wen wanted to do hard labor to reduce the burden on the family and become an ordinary person in the future.

It’s not that Madam Wen looks down on commoners, but Brother Wen is still so young, only eleven or twelve years old, and he has to go out to work for the Wen family. She really can’t bear to see such a situation.

Madam Wen sobbed, "It's my fault that I'm such a useless sister. Father, Mother, and I kept Mother's illness a secret from her so I wouldn't have worried or embarrassed her. If I hadn't been so worried, I wouldn't have asked the maidservant to go check on her. I'm afraid I wouldn't have known anything had happened to Mother! Concubine, if it weren't for my absolute utter help, I wouldn't have dared to disturb your peace. Please, Concubine, help me, considering my mother's imminent danger and my young and helpless brother!"

As she spoke, she was about to kneel on the ground again, but Yu Ziyin stepped forward to stop her. "Don't cry yet. Your parents are in danger. Anyone would be worried. Tell me first, where is your home? I'll have the court doctor go check on your mother right away. As for your younger brother's condition, I'm willing to help him too. After all, no one is willing to be an illiterate person."

Mrs. Wen didn't expect Yu Zinyin to agree so immediately. After all, she had suffered a lot from Concubine Wei before. As they were both women in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion, the worse her life was, the happier the other party would be. However, Yu Zinyin not only did not verbally pressure her but was also willing to lend a hand to help her. Naturally, Mrs. Wen couldn't believe it.

At that moment, Madam Wen was stunned and then burst into tears of gratitude. Even though Yu Ziyin held her back, she would still kneel on the ground, "My concubine and my family really thank you, Your Majesty! If Your Majesty needs me or my family in the future, we will definitely help you!"

"Okay, okay, get up quickly." Yu Zinyin hadn't thought about this. She just asked Madam Wen and Aunt Rong to find the court doctor together, and asked the court doctor to go to the Wen family to treat Mother Wen. After all, the longer the illness is delayed, the worse it will be.

Madam Wen did not dare to delay and thanked Yu Ziyin again, then went to find the court physician with Madam Rong. Because Yu Ziyin was now in charge of the backyard under the order of the prince, the court physician did not dare to object when he saw that it was Madam Rong, who was beside Concubine Liu, who came to call him, so he followed Madam Wen and Madam Rong to the Wen family.

After Wen's mother was treated, the whole family was naturally grateful to Yu Zinyin. As for Wen's younger brother, Yu Zinyin met him when the Wen family came to express their gratitude. Although outsiders were not allowed to enter the backyard, because Wen's younger brother was still young, only about 11 years old, he was allowed to enter.

Later, Yu Ziyin discovered that although Wen Xiaodi was young, he seemed to be more mature and steady because he was born into a poor family and had to take on responsibilities early. He was very flexible in his speech and conversation. This surprised Yu Ziyin very much. This kind of child would have been a good seedling in ancient times. Although there was a possibility of hurting Zhongyong, who could predict the future? As long as he was guided, this child would definitely have an extraordinary future.

Yu Zinyin wrote a letter to inform Liu's father, hoping that he could invest in Wen Xiaodi. After all, the Liu family could afford the money. As for why she didn't pay for it herself, it was naturally because of the difference between men and women. Wen Xiaodi was still young now, but he would grow up in the future. If people knew that she, a concubine, funded Wen Xiaodi, they would inevitably say something. But if it was the Liu family that funded him, people would not say such harsh words.

Father Liu didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that his daughter was trying to win over the women in the backyard to her side, so he helped to arrange it. But after meeting little brother Wen, he changed his mind, because this child was indeed very special, and even he himself didn't dare to say what kind of person he would be in the future.

He also understood why his daughter wanted him to help this little brother Wen. Regardless of whether little brother Wen would get promoted or get rich in the future, it would be a good thing for the Liu family. First, Madam Wen would definitely follow Yu Zinyin's lead, and then the Liu family would naturally gain a good reputation by doing such a good deed of helping the poor.

If Brother Wen becomes successful in the future, it will be a good thing for the Liu family.

So, soon, little brother Wen entered the academy where Liu Xian was studying. Liu Xian was also asked by his father to take better care of little brother Wen. Therefore, little brother Wen, who had a low status among these young masters of aristocratic families, would not be bullied in the academy.

Seeing that Concubine Liu not only helped Wen's mother but also helped their younger brother Wen with his studies, the Wen family was full of gratitude towards Yu Zinyin and the Liu family. They secretly taught their younger brother Wen that if he became successful in the future, he must repay the Liu family. And as Liu's father had expected, Mrs. Wen followed Yu Zinyin's lead in the backyard.
