Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

In the evening, when the Liu family was having dinner together, Madam Liu brought back a piece of news that made Liu Ziyu even more furious. It turned out that the lady of the Duke of Yingguo's mansion had chosen a candidate for her daughter-in-law at the flower viewing party, and that person was He Lanxin, the daughter of the He family.

Madam Liu covered her mouth and laughed, "Mother, you don't know, when I left, Madam He kept holding my hand and told me that it was all thanks to the Crown Princess."

The reason why Helanxin was able to marry into a wealthy family was not only because the He family had developed very well in recent years, but also because of the good relationship between Helanxin and Yu Ziyin. The Duke of Yingguo's Mansion was attracted by the Crown Princess's connections. After feeling that Helanxin was a good person with a free and easy personality, and was the daughter-in-law the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion wanted, they made up their minds to form an alliance with the He family. Therefore, after the flower viewing party, the Duke of Yingguo's wife left the wife of the He family alone to talk about the marriage between the two children.

Madam He must have been so happy to get this marriage that she couldn't stop smiling. She even ran out of the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion, took Madam Liu's hand, and said many words to thank the Crown Princess.

Mother Liu was surprised, then smiled and said, "This is great news! I've always thought Helan Xin was a good girl with a free and easy personality. The Duke of Yingguo has finally gotten what she wanted by having such a daughter-in-law!"

Father Liu also smiled and nodded.

The only unhappy person at the dinner table was probably Liu Ziyu.

She also knew He Lanxin, who was a wild and unruly girl. The He family's development was not very good after they returned to Beijing after being exiled. It was after Yu Zinyin became the Crown Princess that the He family gradually became valued because of the good relationship between their daughter He Lanxin and Yu Zinyin. The He family has achieved its current development. It was this kind of country girl who was trying to curry favor with the powerful that actually married the young master of the Duke of Yingguo's mansion.

God is so blind.

Since marriage was mentioned, Father Liu also talked about Liu Ziyu's marriage. Since they were all family members here, Father Liu asked directly, "Ziyu, you have been back home for a long time. Do you have any marriage prospects in mind?"

Liu Ziyu didn't expect her father to be so disrespectful in front of so many people. Her face turned pale, and she felt even more resentful towards him. "Dad, I don't think those people are worthy of my daughter... Dad, you are now a fourth-rank official, my sister is the Crown Princess, and Ah Xian also successfully entered the palace selection not long ago. If she passes, she can also become a member of the court. So, I really don't like the men that my mother found for me."

Father Liu frowned, "You are marrying for the second time now, so your conditions are naturally lower. How can they be compared with when you were single?"

Liu Ziyu looked at her mother for help, but her mother just ate quietly and ignored her.

Not only did Liu's mother ignore her, but even Liu Xian and his wife ignored this ambitious elder sister/sister-in-law.

Liu Ziyu lowered her eyes and said, "Dad, I just want to marry someone better."

"No matter how good a marriage you choose, can it be as good as Cheng Ting's?" Father Liu said unhappily.

Liu Ziyu was choked and couldn't say anything.

The dinner ended in this awkward atmosphere.

After that, even though Liu Ziyu tried to delay time and find a better marriage, Liu's father could not bear to see time passing day by day, and finally he had to put aside his old face and find another marriage for her. The new husband's family was of high status, the fifth rank. Although he was only the second son, the man's family had made a decision that after the elders died a hundred years later, the second son would inherit 60% of the property. After all, the eldest son with great potential could make a career for himself, and the mediocre and incompetent second son could only rely on his family. Even if the family was divided in the future, the second son's life would not be too miserable.

Liu Ziyu had her eyes on the eldest son of the Wei family, but he was already married and had several children. As a legitimate daughter, if she married him as a concubine, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the Liu family?

In order to facilitate this marriage, Liu's father also promised a lot of benefits. After all, the other party actually has other options, and they are not the kind of family that tries to climb up the social ladder. But doesn't he have to promise benefits in order to let Liu Ziyu marry?

In the end, Liu Ziyu married with a feeling of grievance, because it was not a marriage she was satisfied with. After marriage, she always put on a cold face to her husband and his family, which also caused many conflicts in her marriage, including the issue of divorcing the concubine in the room with her husband.

She was the daughter of a fourth-rank official and the elder sister of the Crown Princess. Yet, not only did they refuse to treat her well, they even dared to keep those vixens around to cause trouble for her? Liu Ziyu felt deeply wronged, so she had a huge argument with her husband and mother-in-law, and even ran to her parents' home to try to find support. In the end, her husband's family backed down, suggesting that if she would curb her temper, stop acting like her family owed her something, respect and serve her parents-in-law, serve her husband well, and be a good wife who nurtured her husband and children, then the Wei family's second son would no longer have to go to the concubine's room.

As for divorcing the concubine, that is impossible. She is a good concubine who was brought in in a proper manner. She has not made any mistakes, has not contradicted the mistress, and has not done anything evil. Why should he divorce her?

Liu Ziyu was still very dissatisfied with the result. She looked at her husband and despised him in front of her mother. "Those vixens are so coquettish all day long that they don't look like human beings. What kind of concubines are they? I think they are just prostitutes! As the mistress, why can't I send them away? I want to sell them to those brothels!"

Mother Liu's expression changed, "Liu Ziyu! What are you talking about?"

Wei Ze was the name of Liu Ziyu's husband. Hearing the sharpness in Liu Ziyu's words, his face turned very ugly, but he still suppressed his displeasure and stood up to say goodbye to Liu's mother politely, "Mother-in-law, I remembered that I have something else to do at home, so I'm leaving first."

"No, stay for dinner today!" Mother Liu quickly asked the people around her to stop him, glaring at Liu Ziyu angrily, "Liu Ziyu! What are you doing standing there like an idiot?"

Liu Ziyu hadn't expected Wei Ze to leave like that, unlike usual. She was a little flustered, but after being yelled at by her mother, she felt embarrassed in front of Wei Ze and forced herself to keep a cold face. "Let him leave if he wants to! What am I going to do with a man like him anyway? He's been seduced by a bunch of vixens and lost his soul! Shameless!"

Wei Ze glanced at Liu Ziyu coldly, "Shortly after we got married, I told you I didn't need a concubine. It was you who insisted on pretending to be virtuous in front of Mother and taking a concubine for me. Now you want to sell them off just because I went to their courtyard? If that's the case, why did you take a concubine for me in the first place?"

Liu Ziyu gritted his teeth and looked at him, his face flushed and his neck thick as he shouted, "Who knew you would really go to those bastards' courtyards? When I first entered the mansion, I had to leave a good impression on my mother. If you could control yourself, why would I do this?"

"How ridiculous! Go outside and ask, who in the capital doesn't touch the concubines in their backyard! As the mistress, you want to sell them out just because I touched them, and even go back to your parents' home to make trouble. You are simply a shrew!" After Wei Ze finished speaking, he turned around and left.

After hearing the hidden story, Liu's mother, who was sitting nearby, slapped Liu Ziyu without hesitation. Her hand was shaking as she pointed at him. "You idiot! Do you really want to ruin the reputation of the Liu family's children before you feel proud? Come on, tie her up and send her back to the Wei family! She is not allowed to enter our Liu family anymore!"
