Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

Shao Lian already knew from Cheng Ting why Liu Ziyu wanted to divorce, so in order to hurt his feelings and to allow Cheng Ting to conduct inspections in various places smoothly, he went to see the emperor together with the prefect of Jingzhao and pointed out Cheng Ting's current weak official position, which was considered to be a help to Cheng Ting.

The situation was just as Shao Lian had expected. Liu Ziyu did not end up well after the divorce. After returning to the Liu Mansion, Liu Xian, who was already married, and Madam Liu were both very cold to her.

The reason why Madam Liu was so disgusted with this aunt was not because of her divorce, but because Liu Xian had told her about the weird things this aunt had done. Because she was jealous of the Crown Princess who was still a concubine at the time, she used her mother-in-law (Liu's mother) and her husband's hands to harm the Crown Princess. In the end, she made a deal with her parents-in-law in order to marry Cheng Ting before she was willing to reveal the name of the person behind the scenes. She forced her parents-in-law to give up their face and ask for the marriage, but she was restless and divorced within a year. As a result, she was slapped in the face by the other party's promotion the next second. She is simply too good at making trouble!

Not only did Madam Liu think that Liu Ziyu was causing trouble, but even Liu's father and mother, who had been coerced into submitting to the Cheng family, thought that their eldest daughter was mentally ill. When they learned that Liu Ziyu was coming back after the divorce, they had a big quarrel with Liu Ziyu. If Liu's father had not been too conservative, he really wanted to just put Liu Ziyu to death.

The funny thing is that after a few days of collapse, Liu Ziyu started pestering her mother to find a good marriage for herself. She couldn't wait to

Liu's mother was so angry that her face turned blue, but she couldn't really bear to see an old girl in the family who couldn't get married. Especially Liu's father couldn't bear to see such a thing happen, as it would affect the reputation of Liu Xian's future children, so he asked Liu's mother to bear with it and look for her.

Liu Ziyu thought that she could still find a good marriage. Her sister was the Crown Princess and her father was a fourth-rank official. Although she might not be able to marry a second-rank official like Cheng Ting was now, she could at least be better than the other rich ladies of the same age, right?

But as they looked at each other along the way, Liu Ziyu's face looked very bad.

It's just because the men who can marry her are either from a declining family or from a powerless businessman. Even if some men with better status fall in love with her, the one who marries her will be the second son in the family who has little say. How can she be satisfied with this?

Unbeknownst to Liu Ziyu, some people hoping to connect with the Crown Prince's Mansion through her had already sensed something fishy about Cheng Ting's promotion. After all, Liu Ziyu was the Crown Princess's biological sister, so she was also a relative of the Crown Prince, right? However, after Liu Ziyu and Cheng Ting divorced, they didn't blame Cheng Ting and even helped him get promoted. This showed that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess weren't close to Liu Ziyu, and were even closer to their former brother-in-law, Cheng Ting. Therefore, marrying Liu Ziyu might not be of much help to the family.

Some people, however, simply wanted to give it a try, thinking that even if Liu Ziyu wasn't close to the Crown Princess, marrying her would at least connect them to the Crown Prince's family, giving them a network of connections for the future, right? However, these ideas mostly came from declining families and merchants with little background.

Liu Ziyu was dissatisfied with this and that, which annoyed her mother. She said bluntly, "You're already married for the second time, and with what you did before, your reputation is already bad. Even if your sister is the Crown Princess and your father is a fourth-rank official, not many high-ranking officials would look up to you. You being so picky will only make your situation worse."

Liu Ziyu bit her lip. "Mother, my brother hadn't even gotten married yet, but you were able to ask the Crown Princess to choose a candidate for him. Later, you even had the honor of the Empress granting him marriage. How come you have nothing when it comes to me?"

Mother Liu gave her a cold look. "Back then, you insisted on marrying Master Cheng, and after your wish was granted, you divorced him less than a year later. Now you want me to ask the Crown Princess to choose a husband for you. If you're not satisfied in the future, will you blame the Crown Princess?"

Liu Ziyu thought, of course, if the engagement was not to her liking, then it would naturally be Yu Zinyin's fault. If the other party had helped her choose carefully, how could she be unhappy?

Although Liu Ziyu didn't say it out loud, the expression on her face couldn't be concealed, "How dare my daughter blame the Crown Princess?"

Mother Liu felt even more disgusted with her. "I won't find a Crown Princess for you. If you're not satisfied with these candidates, there will be no more! If you want to be an old maid at home, unable to get married and laughed at by others, then go talk to your father yourself!"

Liu Ziyu was unwilling and wanted to say something, but seeing the cold gaze of Liu's mother, he finally held his breath and walked away. When he was halfway there, he met Madam Liu who was about to go out.

"Aunt." Although Madam Liu did not have a good impression of Liu Ziyu, she did not ignore her and called out politely.

Liu Ziyu saw that she was dressed much better than himself. She had been wearing very simple clothes since she returned home. Even the maids around Madam Liu looked much more gorgeous than himself. He couldn't help but feel a little sad about his situation. Could it be that the Liu family really couldn't tolerate him?

"Are you going out?"

"Yes, the Duke of England's mansion is holding a flower viewing party. His family gave us an invitation. My mother doesn't have time to go, so I have to go." Madam Liu was speechless when she saw the sadness in her eyes after she looked at her clothes and the clothes of the maids around her. It seemed as if the mansion had bullied Liu Ziyu. In fact, she was dressed so gorgeously because she was going to a banquet, okay?

Liu Ziyu felt even more upset after hearing this. She suddenly realized that no one had invited her to any banquets since she came back from Heli. So she looked at Madam Liu with a hint of jealousy in her eyes, "Really? I obviously have time too, why doesn't mother ask me to go?"

She clearly needs this kind of social gathering now so that she can find a suitable partner. She knows that the Duke of England's Mansion has an unmarried young man. Although he is the second son, given the influence of the Duke of England's Mansion, the second son will have a bright future. Why didn't her mother let her go?

Madam Liu heard the complaint in her words and looked Liu Ziyu up and down, her eyes even more sarcastic. "Aunt, your most important thing right now is your marriage. How can you have the time to go to a flower viewing party? Besides, that flower viewing party is actually a group of distinguished guests invited by the Lady of the Duke of Yingguo for her second son. Even I was just there to help out and help the Lady of Yingguo with the other ladies. Given your current situation, I'm afraid it wouldn't be a good idea to go."

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, why are you playing Liao Zhai?

Anyone can see Liu Ziyu's little thoughts. It's really funny. A second-married girl with such a bad reputation actually dares to covet the son of the Duke of Yingguo's family. Even if Liu Ziyu had not divorced or gotten married, she would not have been qualified to marry him. I don't know how shameless the other party is.

Liu Ziyu could hear the other party's disdain for him, and his face flushed red. He could only say in a hateful voice: "I don't need you to remind me of my current situation!"

Then he left angrily.

Madam Liu rolled her eyes secretly and left with her maid and others.
