Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

Father Liu had already lost the last bit of his fatherly love after her behavior. "Alright, go now. When you marry into the Cheng family, don't come back unless necessary. The Liu family has done their best for you."

Liu Ziyu bit her lip and finally had to leave in shame.

Soon, Liu Ziyu and Cheng Ting got married. What made Liu Ziyu unhappy was that she was Yu Ziyin's elder sister, but Yu Ziyin, the Crown Princess, didn't even show up. She just casually sent Xi Que to deliver the gift and left. Wouldn't this make outsiders think that there was still a rift between the sisters?

Although she was not interested in pleasing Yu Ziyin, the Crown Princess, she wanted to make friends with some ministers' wives in the future by using her identity as Yu Ziyin's sister. Liu Ziyu did not think it was shameful, after all, it was a fact that she was Yu Ziyin's sister.

The only thing that made Liu Ziyu happy about this wedding banquet was that Cheng Ting had already come out of the Imperial College. Because of the prince's favor, he was hired to work for the Jingzhao Prefecture. Although he was not the head of the department, it was much better than being a small civil servant with no future.

Just when she thought she could rely on Cheng Ting to become a noble lady in the capital, she heard the bad news. Cheng Ting had accepted the task of the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture and was going to inspect various places. If he did not have any special political achievements on the way, he would not be able to come back for four or five years.

When Liu Ziyu learned about this, she immediately ran to Cheng Ting and started to make a scene. She was practically screaming, looking at Cheng Ting as if he were the murderer of her father. "Why? Why did you accept this mission? If you just stay in this position, with the crown prince's trust in you, you'll be promoted in less than a year! Why did you leave the capital?"

In fact, this task was not impossible for Cheng Ting. There were many capable people under the Jingzhao prefect, so they were given the choice. However, Cheng Ting took the initiative to ask for a transfer to inspect various places. At first, the Jingzhao prefect was not very happy about it. He also knew that Cheng Ting was backed by the prince, who intended to train him. If he was transferred to inspect various places by the Jingzhao prefect, wouldn't the prince kill him?

However, Cheng Ting had already made up his mind to go on inspection tours in various places. Ever since he came into contact with the villagers who were persecuted by the Second Prince's wife, Liu Ziyu and others, he had already thought about his future path. He didn't want to just stay in the court and use his mouth to do things. Although this could also help the people, there were too many places and too much time to operate. Cheng Ting was afraid that the people in some places could not wait, so he took the initiative to take on this hard job.

He would spend his life traveling around to investigate the conditions of the people and help them.

After learning of Cheng Ting's idea, the Crown Prince did not immediately agree, but he also did not reject it. Cheng Ting wrote a letter to the Crown Prince, which simply read: "The well-being of the people is my heart, and I worry about the sick and the needy and help them. "

The prince let go. He couldn't force a man like Cheng Ting, who served the country and the people, to stay in the court. Such a person was a rare talent, and it would be a pity to use him as a blade.

But Liu Ziyu couldn't accept it. This never happened in the book. In the book, Cheng Ting was never sent to inspect various places after entering the officialdom. How could it change?

Liu Ziyu was completely baffled, and Cheng Ting's frantic expression caught his eye. Although Cheng Ting had been prepared, he was still somewhat disappointed. He said, "Ziyu, I've already asked the Crown Prince to make it clear that he won't be taking you with him. You can stay at the mansion. My salary will be sent to you every month. If you need anything, just write to me."

Liu Ziyu no longer wanted to think about why Cheng Ting's situation was different from what was described in the book. Furious, she grabbed Cheng Ting's arm tightly and said, "No! I don't agree! You can't go! You clearly should have a better future, so why do you have to go to those rural areas? Those poor and remote places will not benefit you in any way. Even if you return after a few years of experience, you won't achieve any significant political achievements. Your official career may even be delayed!"

Cheng Ting shook his head, his eyes full of determination. "What I do is not for a career in government, but for the people. I decided to take the exam for the people. I know that as long as I stay in this position for a year or two, I will be able to serve the people after I get promoted. But I can't wait any longer. I'm afraid that some people will not be able to wait for me, and will not be able to wait for the moment when Da Shao will make decisions for them. So, I have to go."

Seeing him like this, Liu Ziyu shook her head in despair, "No, no, no, you can't do this to me! What's the difference between me and a widow?"

Cheng Ting also felt guilty. He took a few steps forward, took Liu Ziyu's hand, and asked sincerely: "Ziyu, are you willing to go with me? Don't worry, I will never let you suffer along the way. I, Cheng Ting, will do my best to protect you and let you live a life similar to that in the capital."

Liu Ziyu stared at him intently for a moment, then without hesitation, shook off his hand, looking at him with a look of deep hatred. "You're already making me suffer by asking me to leave the capital! You're going to give up the glory and wealth of the capital and suffer for those lowly people. I don't want that! I want to divorce you!"

She already knew that Cheng Ting would go on an inspection tour in a few days, and there was no room for redemption. She didn't want to suffer with Cheng Ting, nor did she want to be laughed at as a widow in the capital. Since the other party had made up his mind, she would divorce him. After the divorce, with her status, she would definitely be able to find a clear-headed husband again.

Cheng Ting was stunned for a moment, his eyes dimmed for a moment, but he didn't say much. He knew that he and Liu Ziyu were not the same kind of people. "Okay, as you say."

At this time, the two had been married for only half a year when Liu Ziyu and Cheng Ting divorced. This incident caused a big uproar. When everyone was wondering why the eldest daughter of the Liu family was causing trouble again, Cheng Ting was ordered by the emperor to be demoted to inspect various places as a second-rank governor.

After all, he might be facing some bad people who are in collusion between officials and businessmen. The emperor is afraid that he, a small official, cannot control them. In addition, the prince is standing by and saying that Cheng Ting has good abilities, and the prefect of Jingzhao is there to testify. So the speed of his promotion is almost the same as that of Cheng Ting in the book.

This immediately sent the people of the capital into an uproar. Putting aside the fact that Cheng Ting had been promoted to the rank of Second Grade and sent out of the capital to conduct inspections, the fact that Liu Ziyu had chosen to divorce Cheng Ting alone was simply ruining her good life. While being the wife of a governor might be considered a widow, she was still a Second Grade official, and Cheng Ting was young. After four or five years of experience, he would surely be promoted to a higher rank. Wouldn't it have been a better thing for Liu Ziyu and Cheng Ting to have stayed together?

Liu Ziyu did not expect this development. She collapsed after hearing the news. She smashed things around in her room, cried and made a fuss, and kept crying why it was like this.

In fact, Cheng Ting's promotion to the second rank was a plan made by the prince after he learned that Liu Ziyu and Cheng Ting had divorced. He still remembered the promise he made to Yu Zinyin to make the second prince's wife and Liu Ziyu live a life worse than death.

The Second Prince's wife now has a miserable end in the clan house. Not to mention the Second Prince whom she relied on. Her stepmother Qiu Yue and father Master Chang have also been implicated and have met their end. Only Liu Ziyu is still alive.
