Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

Not to mention that the future of the Wen family's younger brother Wen is indeed as bright as Yu Zinyin expected, and even more stable than the future of Cheng Ting, the growing male protagonist, with almost one promotion every year. Then, because he is full of gratitude to the Liu family, he protects the Liu family from top to bottom.

Let's say at the moment, Yu Ziyin helped Madam Wen with her family affairs. Because neither Yu Ziyin nor Madam Wen had any intention of hiding anything, and the women in the backyard more or less knew about Madam Wen's situation, now when they heard that Concubine Liu actually helped Madam Wen, they couldn't help but click their tongues and secretly cursed Yu Ziyin for being mentally ill and meddling in other people's business.

After all, in the backyard, although they sometimes get together, none of them wishes the best for the other. They all hope that the other person will live as miserable as possible. As a result, a weirdo like Yu Ziyin appears. Not only does she not watch Madam Wen's show like them, she also helps Madam Wen. Isn't this crazy?

But the most angry person was Concubine Wei. Concubine Wei had never helped Madam Wen before, and she even took the lead in bullying Madam Wen. Now that she saw Yu Zinyin helping Madam Wen, and the two of them had a quarrel in the back garden before, Concubine Wei couldn't help but feel that Yu Zinyin was trying to slap her in the face, and she was extremely angry.

In anger, she asked Xiao Cui, who was beside her, to urge the two maids to give more drugs. However, Xiao Cui returned soon after she left, which made Concubine Wei wonder, "Why did you come back so soon?"

Xiao Cui's face turned pale. "My Lady, one of those two maids who cleaned the house recently fell into a well and died, and the other was beaten to death after being caught stealing."

"What did you say?! Was it Concubine Liu who did it?"

"Yes." Xiao Cui, like Concubine Wei, did not expect that Concubine Liu, who looked gentle and rarely angry, would be so decisive in dealing with people. Even the people in Lanyue Pavilion did not notice anything wrong.

It was because in the eyes of the servants in Lanyue Pavilion, the death of one of the sisters was an accident and could not be blamed on Concubine Liu. The other sister who stole things was later found out by Concubine Liu that she stole things in order to bury her elder sister who fell into the well. But if she had stolen some ordinary things, Concubine Liu would have shown mercy, but she stole things given by the emperor, so Concubine Liu could only beat her to death. In this way, no one thought there was anything wrong with Concubine Liu's behavior.

Even the families of the two sisters received a considerable amount of funeral expenses, and they kept thanking Concubine Liu for her kindness.

But Concubine Wei certainly wouldn't think that these sisters were really so unlucky!

Even Xiao Cui felt the same way. How could such a coincidence happen in this world? It just so happened that the two people they bribed died. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became.

"Your Majesty, do you think Concubine Liu discovered something?"

Concubine Wei frowned, "No, that shouldn't be the case. Otherwise, how could she not have a tantrum?"

If she put herself in his shoes, if she found out that she was poisoned, she would definitely run to His Highness to complain and make a big deal out of it, but His Highness has not shown any intention of getting angry with her recently.

Concubine Wei finally thought about it and said, "Perhaps she noticed something was wrong, but she didn't have any evidence, so she didn't bring it to His Highness. Otherwise, this matter wouldn't have just been let go."

After hearing this, Xiao Cui said, "Then, shouldn't we get rid of the medicine we have? Otherwise, if they find out, wouldn't it harm you, Your Majesty?"

"You're right. We must quickly and secretly dispose of those medicines. We must not let Concubine Liu find out!" Concubine Wei said in a low and hurried voice.

Xiao Cui was afraid that Concubine Wei's affairs would be discovered, and that she, as Concubine Wei's lackey, would suffer in the future. So in the middle of the night, she secretly took the medicine and prepared to deal with it. However, at this moment, a team of guards from the mansion who had been there for some time appeared and caught her red-handed.

When Xiao Cui saw that the person leading the guards to arrest her was Shang Liang, her face turned pale and she knew she was finished.

If it were someone else, Concubine Wei might have managed to survive, but the person who captured her was Shang Liang, a close confidant of the Crown Prince, and she was carrying poison, so she would definitely not have a good ending.

It was no coincidence that Shang Liang appeared here. He was following the orders of the Crown Prince to keep an eye on the situation on Concubine Wei's side. If Concubine Wei or her people destroyed the poison, they would be caught in the act immediately.

Xiao Cui was caught in the act and when she was dragged to kneel in front of Shao Lian, she was shaking all over, with her head kept lowered and cold sweat on her forehead.

Shang Liang brought the medicine bottles from Xiao Cui to Shao Lian and said, "Your Highness, Imperial Physician Li has confirmed that it is poison, the same poison as the one on the costume."

If she had been lucky before, thinking that the crime of harming Concubine Liu had not been discovered and that she was simply caught because she had poison on her, then after hearing Shang Liang talking about the costumes, Xiao Cui knew that the prince might have known about the costumes for a long time, but had no evidence. Now that she and Concubine Wei were eager to destroy the evidence, they were caught instead.

Xiao Cui was Concubine Wei's personal maid and had followed her from the Wei family. Naturally, it was impossible for her to say that Concubine Wei was unaware of this matter and that Concubine Wei was truly innocent. At the moment, Xiao Cui could only kowtow continuously and say that she was the one who instigated Concubine Wei to do everything. She couldn't stand Concubine Liu suppressing her own master. She obviously entered the backyard later, but was more favored than her own mistress. She relied on her favor to have no respect for Concubine Wei, so she instigated Concubine Wei to drug Concubine Liu.

It’s not that Xiao Cui is so loyal, but she is a house slave. Her parents both work for the Wei family. If she betrays Concubine Wei, her family will probably be ruined along with her. It’s better to sell Concubine Wei so that the Wei family can treat her parents well.

Shao Lian sneered after hearing this, "What a loyal servant."

Later, when Concubine Wei heard that Xiao Cui was captured by the prince's confidant Shang Liang, she hurried over and heard Shao Lian's words. She broke out in a cold sweat, but she also knew that Xiao Cui would definitely not betray her. Her parents were still working in the Wei family. How could Xiao Cui have the courage to betray her?

But Concubine Wei didn't know that the Crown Prince knew about the costumes. She just thought that Shang Liang happened to discover that Xiao Cui had destroyed the poison. So she knelt before the Crown Prince and said, "Your Highness, this has nothing to do with me. I had no idea that Xiao Cui had hidden so many poisons. If I knew, I would have chased her away immediately! I don't know how many sisters she has harmed behind my back. This is also my fault for being unable to discipline her. Please punish me, Your Highness!"

When Concubine Wei said this, she was actually paving the way for the poisoning to be discovered in the future. Even if someone discovered the poisoning in the future, it would be Xiao Cui's doing, and it would have nothing to do with her, Concubine Wei. However, Concubine Wei didn't know that Xiao Cui had just revealed that she knew about it, so her current sophistry seemed extremely ridiculous.

Xiao Cui had never expected that Concubine Wei would actually put the blame on her for everything, even the poisoning. Seeing her ruthless face, the guilt and fear she had felt for revealing that Concubine Wei knew about the matter suddenly disappeared. She even thought Concubine Wei was not in the right mind. She was her personal maid, so how could Concubine Wei deny everything she had done?
