Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

Chapter 59 She No Longer Wants to Be the Heroine (59)

Liu's mother's eyes flashed with anger, and tears welled up in her eyes. "You really are so cruel! You treat me like this just for a man! To the Liu family! I'm your biological mother! How could you do such a thing!"

Liu Xian also questioned Liu Ziyu in a voice filled with resentment and confusion, "Is Cheng Ting really that good? You've become an ungrateful person! But why did you want to harm my second sister? She didn't interfere in the matter between you and Cheng Ting at all. The decision to break off your engagement with Cheng Ting was just the idea of ​​our parents. My second sister never mentioned a word about it."

Listening to the accusations of the three people, Liu Ziyu lowered his head slightly, with resentment and jealousy flashing in his eyes. He heard the praise and envy of Yu Zinyin by other noble ladies at the prince's birthday banquet that day. Then he remembered the happy life of his sister and Cheng Ting in the book, and twisted emotions swirled in his heart.

Her voice was like a sharp knife, cutting into everyone's heart. "Cheng Ting and I have no future together, so how can she live so happily? She clearly knew that Cheng Ting and I had broken off our engagement, but she still boasted at the prince's birthday banquet about how much the prince doted on her! It was obvious that I was better than her in every way before, and everyone only looked at me wherever I went! But now everything has changed! She must be very proud of herself! But if Cheng Ting and I hadn't been engaged in the first place, how could she have become a concubine? Why does she step on me to get everyone's attention! I am the one who deserves happiness the most! She should disappear!"

After she vented the words that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time, the smile on her face gradually became bitter, without a trace of real happiness. Her breathing became rapid, like a bound beast being liberated, but after she finished speaking, she longed to escape from this reality that made her feel ashamed.

Because everyone looked at her with disgust and alienation, only Cui Yu next to her had long been accustomed to Liu Ziyu's twisted heart and did not show it so obviously.

"You're crazy, you're really crazy..." Mother Liu pointed at her with shaking hands.

Just because he himself is not living a good life and cannot bear to see his sister living a good life, he holds a grudge against the other person. He wants to bring the other person down in a way that will kill his own sister, just to vent his jealousy!

Father Liu also felt fear and disgust towards the crazy Liu Ziyu. "How could my Liu family have a daughter like you?"

Liu Xian took a step back unconsciously out of fear. He looked at the familiar face in front of him, as if he wanted to find a trace of similarity with his gentle elder sister, but he could no longer find any. He couldn't help but feel sad, "You are not my elder sister..."

Liu Ziyu shut up after she finished speaking, her hands clasped by Shang Liang and the others as if she had accepted her fate. Upon hearing Liu Xian's words, she simply looked at him with disgust and indifference, "Why are you pretending to be so affectionate with your brother? In your eyes, only Liu Ziyin, who is now at the peak of her career, is your sister, right?"

Liu Xian was about to say something when Shang Liang interrupted them, "It's getting late, Lord Liu, Madam Liu, Young Master Liu, I'll take her to Jingzhao Prefecture."

"Jingzhao Prefecture?" Father Liu came back to his senses and looked at Shang Liang. "W-why are you going to Jingzhao Prefecture? Isn't this the Crown Prince's case?"

If this matter really gets to Jingzhao Prefecture, wouldn't everyone in the capital know about it? That would be so embarrassing!

Shang Liang's expression grew serious. "Lord Liu, this matter involves Concubine Liu, and Concubine Liu is the Crown Prince's concubine. Don't you understand that His Royal Highness shouldn't intervene? Even if Concubine Liu is innocent, if someone with ulterior motives spreads that the Crown Prince is deliberately whitewashing her, can Lord Liu bear the responsibility?"

Father Liu choked, "Mr. Shang is right. I hadn't thought of that just now."

"Thank you for bothering me." Shang Liang turned around and waved his hand, "Take me away!"

The door of the Liu Mansion was opened again. The people who had come to watch the excitement had long since dispersed, but the news had spread. Many people on this street knew that the prince's confidant Shang Liang had escorted someone into the Liu Mansion, so there were still many people on the roadside watching the closed door, wanting to know the news first.

Some people who had not left at the beginning saw that there was more than one person escorted out of the Liu Mansion this time. There was also the eldest daughter of the Liu Mansion, Liu Ziyu, and a maid dressed as Cuiyu. The reason why these passers-by knew Liu Ziyu was because the previous engagement and cancellation of the engagement between Liu Ziyu and Cheng Ting was known to the whole capital, so it was normal that they knew each other.

They didn't dare to go up to Shang Liang and ask him why, and Shang Liang wouldn't give them the chance to ask. Fortunately, when they came, they had considered taking the women with them, so they prepared a carriage. They let Liu Ziyu and Cuiyu get on the carriage and drove away, so that Liu Ziyu wouldn't feel like he was being watched all the way.

But as soon as she left the house and was stared at, Liu Ziyu felt humiliated. She felt the gazes fixed on her, and a wave of shame and indignation welled up within her. She secretly glanced at the crowd and caught glimpses of whispers. Some people looked at her with curiosity and speculation, which filled her with shame and resentment. Even after she boarded the carriage, the heavy feeling within her heart could not be relieved.

The guards around symbolically drove away the crowd, but those people still bravely followed from a distance. As the team moved towards Jingzhao Prefecture, the crowd's discussions and whispers continued.

In Jingzhao Prefecture, after Shang Liang brought Liu Ziyu, Qing Dafu and Cui Yusan into the Jingzhao government office, Nanny Ping also brought the elders of xx village and others into Jingzhao Prefecture. Under Liu Ziyu's murderous gaze, Nanny Ping presented a petition, accusing Concubine Liu of the Prince's Mansion of being framed and slandered by Qing Dafu and others and oppressing the common people. The elders, on behalf of the entire village, sued the eldest daughter of the Liu family, Qing Dafu and others for forcing the price of land to be forced to buy land and houses, thus cutting off their livelihood.

The reason why Nanny Ping came was because Liu Ziyu was Concubine Liu's biological sister. Even if Liu Ziyu hurt Yu Zinyin, it would not sound good if her sister sued her biological sister in Jingzhao Prefecture, so Nanny Ping came forward.

When the prefect of Jingzhao heard that it was a matter of forced land price suppression, he immediately took it seriously. The main reason was that he had to pay attention to it. After all, this matter involved the Prince's Mansion. The case was also quite simple for him to try. After all, all the evidence had been checked clearly, and the chain of evidence was linked together, so there was little possibility of falsification.

However, in order to be cautious and prevent future generations from blaming him, the prefect of Jingzhao sent people to re-verify the evidence. After confirming that all the evidence was true and there was no falsification, the prefect of Jingzhao was shocked because he did not expect that the eldest daughter of the Liu family set up such a scheme to harm Concubine Liu and the Liu family because she was jealous of her younger sister's good life and resented her parents for breaking off her engagement with Cheng Ting. This can no longer be described as insane.

He looked at the kneeling Liu Ziyu with a cold and sharp gaze, his voice full of rebuke, "Bold Liu Ziyu, you collaborated with Qing Dafu and others to try to damage your biological mother's reputation. That's unfilial! You slandered and framed your sisters out of jealousy. That's unjust! You forced the locals to pay less for their land and then bought it. That's unkind! Most importantly! You disregard the laws of Dashao. That's disloyalty! Such an unfilial, unjust, unkind, and unfaithful person is simply unworthy of being a human being!"
