Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

I thought that these things might be the witnesses and evidence of the case that the emperor said in the letter cannot be tried openly. Otherwise, how could the second prince change from being arrogant and angry to looking like a stray dog ​​now?

The Second Prince stopped struggling, and the Second Prince's wife was convicted quickly because there was sufficient evidence and witnesses, so there was no need for trial. The reason given by the Second Prince and his wife to the outside world was that they were afraid that the favored Concubine Liu would give birth to a grandson and once again help the Crown Prince to steal the Emperor's attention, so they joined forces to harm Concubine Liu.

Regardless of whether people outside believed it or not, they were all in an uproar. Those who believed it naturally thought that the second prince and his wife were crazy. After all, the emperor had other grandchildren, and it was not seen that the emperor valued those grandchildren much. The only one the emperor really cared about was the eldest son Shao Lian. In the end, the poor one was Concubine Liu, who had suffered an unprovoked disaster.

Those who did not believe it were the more insightful people in the court. They quickly realized that this matter was unusual, but most of them did not care because it did not involve their own interests. They just secretly wondered what the second prince had done to make the emperor treat him like this?

The emperor took advantage of the situation to scold the second prince in the court. The second prince's mansion was confiscated, and Mr. Chang, who helped the second prince's wife cover up the crime, was also ordered to be beheaded. The Chang family was not only spared because of Madam Chang's report, but Madam Chang was also praised by the emperor for having a good understanding of the law and keeping the strict laws of Da Shao in mind. She was a very qualified official's wife.

As a result, some people in the capital who had some complaints about Madam Chang no longer dared to say anything. After all, the emperor's praise was there, and if they criticized Madam Chang, wouldn't they be opposing the emperor? Who would have the courage? Therefore, the Chang Mansion did not become deserted because of Master Chang's death, and it was even more lively than before.

……

Take Liu Ziyu for example. When Cheng Ting came to the dungeon to express his sincerity, he promised Liu Ziyu that after she redeemed her sins in the dungeon of Jingzhao Prefecture and came out, he would get engaged to her and marry her. He would respect her after marriage and would not have any prejudice against her because of what she had done. However, she also had to reveal the name of the person behind the scenes as promised. Liu Ziyu naturally agreed to this. As long as she thought about being able to enjoy the honor that Cheng Ting brought her after she got out, and even that Cheng Ting would live a good life with her as long as she didn't make trouble, how could she not agree?

That's why she would quietly cooperate in going to the clan house and answer whatever the other party asked. She would only blame the obviously big mistakes on the Second Prince's wife and the small mistakes on herself, otherwise she would appear too innocent and no one would believe her innocence.

The Ministry of Clan Affairs was mainly trying the case of the Second Prince and his wife. Zhang Tong and Liu Ziyu finally had to return to Jingzhao Prefecture for trial. After obtaining their testimonies, they were sent back to the Jingzhao Prefecture dungeon to await trial.

Therefore, after Liu Ziyu finished explaining her mistakes, she weakly said to the Jingzhao Prefecture Governor, "I already know I was wrong. I shouldn't have listened to other people's slander and killed my mother and sister. I regret it now. I wonder if you can give me a chance to mend my ways? After leaving Jingzhao Prefecture, I will behave myself and never make the same mistake again!"

Want to go out now? What kind of sweet dream are you having?

In response, the Jingzhao prefect said, "Although you already know you are wrong, and you were deceived by others, you still did something wrong. I cannot let you go just because you were deceived. You still have to stay in the cell for a year and repent before you can be released."

When Liu Ziyu heard that she would have to stay in the dungeon for another year, her expression became depressed. She really didn't want to go back to that place. She had said that before just to test the waters, thinking that if she could blame everything on that woman, the Second Prince's wife, she might be able to get away with it. But she didn't expect that the Jingzhao prefect was so old-fashioned that he refused to let her go.

But Liu Ziyu didn't dare to say anything else, because Zhang Tong, who also reported the Second Prince's wife, had a worse fate than her. Unlike Liu Ziyu who was a noble lady, Zhang Tong was just a small-time gangster with no background. He was directly involved in oppressing the local people with Qing Dafu and others, so the sentence was even heavier.

At the time, Zhang Tong was somewhat dissatisfied with his harsh punishment. He felt that since he had already surrendered himself and even betrayed the Second Prince's wife, why should he face nearly a decade in prison? He protested in court, but was immediately dragged away and tortured by the Jingzhao prefect. At the end of the trial, he was dragged away like a dead dog, leaving Liu Ziyu, who was also kneeling beside him, terrified.

Fortunately, Cheng Ting had already agreed with her that they would get engaged and married after she got out, so the one-year prison life was not so unacceptable to Liu Ziyu. Even if her reputation was completely ruined after she got out, she believed that after she got out, married Cheng Ting, relied on Cheng Ting to climb up step by step, and then became the wife of a powerful official, everyone would forget that she had been in prison before, and everyone would praise her.

However, even with the Liu family's help in the dungeon for this year, her life was still not easy. Moreover, she heard a lot of good news about Liu Zinyin during this period, which made her feel even more depressed.

As for Yu Ziyin, after the Second Prince's Consort, this troublesome person, was completely trapped in the clan residence and Liu Ziyu was prevented from doing anything naughty for a year, her life got back on track. Because she was in charge of the household and was favored, other women in the backyard didn't dare to cause trouble anymore. It was only after they saw the fate of those who caused trouble, such as Concubine Wei, that they became obedient. In short, they settled down. With less trouble, Yu Ziyin was like a dry sponge thrown into the sea, greedily learning everything she came into contact with.

Not to mention the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, riding and archery have become her strengths. When taken to the riding field by Shao Lian, she can compete with him. Keeping accounts has become her daily routine. Even Nanny Ping can't teach her more, which enabled Nanny Ping to retire early. As for Nanny Ping's husband, Shao Lian was reluctant to let him go. After all, the entire mansion cannot be supported by Yu Zinyin alone. It still needs a reliable person to support each other in order to run the entire Prince's Mansion well.

As for who Shao Lian will choose to replace Nanny Ping's husband, that is not Yu Ziyin's business. She has devoted her time to other things. Yu Ziyin has not lost the original owner's embroidery skills. Opening a shop in Qingcheng gave Yu Ziyin experience. After returning to the capital, she also opened a shop here. The skills of the embroiderers and embroidery have also been greatly improved. Otherwise, with the quality of the shop in Qingcheng, it would not be able to operate in the capital.
