Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

Everyone went to please the favored Liu Ziyin, while she became the object of everyone's ridicule. How could she not feel any emotion at all? However, these words were said by the Second Prince's Consort, whom she looked down upon, and Liu Ziyu was also very unhappy.

Even though the Second Prince's wife is now the Second Prince's wife, Liu Ziyu, like other ladies and wives of officials, still secretly looks down on the Second Prince's wife who was born out of wedlock and had an affair with the Second Prince by stepping on her legitimate sister.

She then said coldly: "Why is the Second Prince's wife telling me this?"

Seeing that she could still maintain this aloof demeanor, the Second Prince's wife sneered inwardly, but she put on a considerate and caring front. "Miss Liu, don't you think your second sister is too arrogant? You know, if you hadn't been engaged to Cheng Ting, you would have been the one to enter the Crown Prince's Mansion and gain favor. But now that she's favored, she doesn't even bother to stop those people's gossip. It's heartbreaking to see!"

Liu Ziyu already resented Liu Ziyin for not standing up to stop others from talking about her. Now, after hearing what the Second Prince's wife said, she resented Liu Ziyin even more. She thought, if she didn't want to enter the Prince's Mansion to compete for favor, and didn't want Liu Ziyin to take advantage of her when she was about to shine for the family in the future, how could Liu Ziyin take away the honor that didn't belong to her?

Thinking of the rewards Liu Zinyin had received recently for his meritorious service in caring for the sick, Liu Ziyu's heart was as restless as a raging fire.

But Liu Ziyu's thinking is simply a bandit's logic. She was the one who gave up entering the Prince's Mansion on her own initiative, but she still blames Yu Zinyin for taking away the honor and favor that she had previously avoided after she was favored. Will she be satisfied only if Yu Zinyin dies quietly in the yard like the original owner after entering the Prince's Mansion?

"She is just that kind of person. I didn't see it clearly before, but now I know what kind of person she is. When I become rich in the future, don't think that I will share the same hatred with her." Liu Ziyu said.

The Second Prince's wife curled her lips, "Why wait until you become rich to take revenge on her? I have a good way to take revenge on her now, but I don't know if you are willing to do it?"

Liu Ziyu frowned and looked at the Second Prince's wife. She didn't agree immediately but didn't object immediately either.

At first, she was a little confused as to why the Second Prince's wife wanted to deal with Liu Zinyin, but she soon figured it out, because she had read the entire book and also knew about some of the struggles between royal children. The book wrote that the Second Prince's wife and her husband, the Second Prince, had always been dissatisfied with Shao Lian sitting on the throne of the crown prince.

The Second Prince would secretly attack the Crown Prince whenever he had the chance, while the Second Prince's wife would concentrate on dealing with some favored women in the Crown Prince's backyard, because she was afraid that the Crown Prince's child would be born in the backyard of the Crown Prince's Mansion. Even the self in the book would inevitably be confronted by the Second Prince's wife in front of him.

In this way, Liu Zinyin's favor is only superficial. Because of the prince's favor, she has become the target of public criticism. I think her life must be difficult.

For this reason, Liu Ziyu didn't think it was strange that the Second Prince's wife came to her and wanted to deal with Liu Zinyin together, but she still asked the Second Prince's wife how to deal with Yu Zinyin.

The Second Prince's wife lifted her hair from her ear and said, "She has just taken over the housekeeping power and has been praised by the royal family. She is very proud of herself. But now, if word gets out that someone is forcibly seizing farmers' land under her name, how do you think the Crown Prince and the royal family will deal with her?"

The Dashao laws strictly stipulate that if high-ranking officials forcibly seize farmland or houses, once it is discovered, they will be punished with serious crimes, and in serious cases, their property will be confiscated.

But Liu Zinyin is a daughter who married out, so even if it will affect the reputation of the Liu family, it will not bring much impact to the Liu family.

So Liu Ziyu just frowned and said, "I'm afraid these things can't escape the prince's eyes."

The Second Prince's wife curled her lips. "As long as it happens far away, the Crown Prince won't find out. If anyone asks why Liu Ziyin went so far to forcibly seize the farmland, she'll have a legitimate reason. She's afraid of being reported to the palace and the Crown Prince. The farmers don't know who's seizing their land. They only know they're using the Crown Prince's Concubine Liu's name. If they then report all the way to Jingzhao Prefecture, Liu Ziyin's reputation will be in tatters!"

Liu Ziyu thought about it and felt that this would not only teach Liu Zinyin a lesson, but also make her father and mother, who had previously confined her, suffer a little, so she agreed.

After they parted ways, the Second Prince's wife immediately sent people to a distant place to bargain down the price and forcibly seize the people's land. Liu Ziyu's job was to find a way to get the deeds to these people's land into Liu Ziyin's hands, or to get Liu Ziyin involved in these land transactions. After all, if the Jingzhao Prefecture investigated, there had to be evidence, right? Otherwise, Liu Ziyin would definitely get away, and she didn't want to see Liu Ziyin get away so easily!

……

So, on this day, Yu Ziyin was sorting out the accounts when she was approached by Liu's mother. As soon as Liu's mother came in, she excitedly and happily pulled Yu Ziyin to sit down, "Ziyin! I've brought you a fortune!"

Yu Ziyin didn't understand why, but she followed Liu's mother and sat on the chair. "What's wrong with you, mother? Why are you so happy?"

Mother Liu looked around and saw that besides Madam Rong and Xi Que, there was another madam she didn't know in the room, so she became a little hesitant.

Yu Ziyin looked at the standing Madam Ping but did not wave her away. Instead, she said to Liu's mother, "Mother, Madam Ping is one of us."

Mother Liu thought about it and decided that it was a good thing that her daughter had a trusted confidant in the Prince's Mansion. She also believed in Yu Ziyin's ability, so she didn't insist on letting Madam Ping leave. She asked Madam Rong to close the door happily and then took out a stack of papers. "Now that you are in charge of the Prince's Mansion, I think the monthly salary you receive plus the dowry you got when you got married will make you more comfortable. But this money is just sitting there. Why not use it to buy some land and farmland and rent it out? Wouldn't it be profitable to collect rent every year?"

"Well, I was just thinking about how to bring this up with you! It just so happened that these past few days, your brother and your sister went out and met a farmer who was selling land at a low price. Oh my! I saw that the price was so low, and it was close to us. Although it's outside the capital, even if we take a carriage, it would only take a few hours, not very far. It's like pie in the sky! I have to find you to discuss this matter quickly, otherwise this good thing will slip away!"

After hearing this, Yu Ziyin took the paper from Liu's mother's hand. On it was the content of the transaction. The selling price marked was indeed much lower than the market in the capital, but it was too low. Yu Ziyin did have land under her name, but it was very little. However, it did not mean that she did not understand the price. After she took control of the housekeeper's power and owned the land and houses under the name of the Prince's Mansion, she knew more about these things.

Moreover, these were found by Liu Ziyu. Although Liu Xian was following, Yu Ziyin still felt a little worried. She asked, "Has mother investigated this farmer?"
