Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

Chapter 36 She No Longer Wants to Be the Heroine (36)

After talking about Yu Ziyin, Liu's mother talked about Liu Ziyu's situation. When she heard that Cheng Ting would come to the Liu Mansion soon to cancel the engagement, Yu Ziyin's eyes widened and she asked the same question as Liu Xian, "Is my sister willing?"

Naturally, Liu's mother gave Yu Ziyin the same answer she had given Liu Xian, but she was a little more tactful. "Does your sister want to live a hard life with Cheng Ting?"

Yu Ziyin laughed dryly a few times.

Following Cheng Ting now is indeed a hard life, but if Cheng Ting is granted a title of nobility and appointed as prime minister in the future, the Liu family will be embarrassed. However, Yu Zinyin did not remind Liu's mother. After all, in the current situation, as a sister, she should not only support Liu Ziyu and Cheng Ting to break up, but also praise Liu's mother for doing a good job.

While chatting, Liu's mother also told Yu Ziyin her main purpose.

Yu Ziyin looked at Liu Xian, who was sitting next to Liu's mother, and nodded. "It's time for me to find a suitable woman to get engaged to. Otherwise, when I get older, all the good girls will be taken away. Mother, leave this matter to me. I will bring it up with His Highness."

Yu Zinyin remained silent as to why Liu's mother did not mention Liu Ziyu's marriage. She did not want to get involved.

Liu Xian, her younger brother, used to send cakes to her, his second sister, from time to time, and his words were full of concern. Now he also cares about her. When she talked about her experience of taking care of the sick, his fear and worry did not seem to be fake. He could not help but look at her wounds. It was obvious that he felt sorry for his second sister, so Yu Zinyin was willing to help. After all, she just mentioned it in front of Shao Lian, and it didn't cost her much, so she could just leave it to Shao Lian.

And what about Liu Ziyu? First, she had snatched the original body's destined marriage and pushed the original owner into a pit of fire. After coming to this world, she said some ridiculous and sarcastic words. So she really had no interest in who Liu Ziyu would marry and spend her life with. She was also afraid that if she helped Liu Ziyu find a marriage now, she would find that person unhappy and come to her door to complain that she had found a bad marriage for her.

When Liu's mother heard Yu Zinyin's agreement, she was very happy. She took Yu Zinyin aside and chatted with him about family matters for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, she took her youngest son away.

When leaving, it was still Rong Mama who saw her off. On the way, Rong Mama also revealed some of the things Yu Zinyin had done to win favor. When Liu's mother learned from Rong Mama that her youngest daughter said that everything she did was for the Liu family, she was deeply moved. After returning home, she told Liu's father many of the things her youngest daughter had done in the Prince's Mansion.

This earned Yu Zinyin a lot of favor in the Liu family. In short, Liu's father's favorability rose sharply after receiving the benefits.

……

After seeing off Liu's mother and Liu Xian, Yu Ziyin returned to her daily routine of learning to manage accounts with Nanny Heping. Of course, she did not forget to write to Helanxin, who had always been worried about her, saying that she had now finished caring for him and asked Helanxin to rest assured.

When Helanxin heard that Yu Zinyin's stay as the prince's attendant had ended, she had been writing letters expressing her wish to visit him. She had wanted to come before, but her family would not allow her to go. At that time, everyone was afraid that the prince's illness would infect someone else. In addition, the emperor had also mentioned in the court not to disturb the prince's treatment. Naturally, the He family, who had just entered the capital, did not dare to disobey the emperor's will and firmly opposed Helanxin's visit to Yu Zinyin.

Helanxin could only worry about her friend's safety at home. Later, when she heard that the prince's health had improved, she was very happy and immediately wrote a letter to Yu Zinyin to arrange a meeting time.

After Yu Ziyin and He Lanxin met, they discussed recent events in Lanyue Pavilion.

From Helan Xin, Yu Zinyin learned that her reputation had been getting better and better after this incident. Although it had not been bad before, it had not been good either. The most typical example was that some wives of officials would not take her, a concubine, seriously before, but now they would try to contact her through various channels and want to establish some relationship with her.

Yu Zinyin naturally didn't think that this was her charm. She knew that these people were just following the trend after seeing the emperor reward her.

What made her feel relieved was that Helan Xin had not changed the way he got along with her. The two of them still played and fought, and were very unhappy. The time they spent together was relatively short, because she had to learn how to keep accounts with Nanny Ping, so she could only ask Helan Xin for help, hoping that Helan Xin could help her hunt good furs so that she could give them to the prince, and the reward for this would naturally not be small.

How could He Lanxin not agree to her friend's request? Naturally, she agreed to give her the good fur as soon as she got it.

Yu Ziyin thanked him several times, and of course she did not forget that the other person had worked hard to call her, so she gave He Lanxin two sets of her best new headgear as a thank you gift.

She thought that her costume plan was now a failure, so she was counting on the fur. In fact, the fur she had hunted before was enough to make a fox fur coat for Shao Lian, but she thought that just giving him a fox fur coat seemed not enough. It would be better to embroider something else with the fur and give it to him, such as making a pair of boots by herself, with soft fur as the lining, which would definitely be good.

Although I can’t give it to him on the birthday party, it is still a thoughtful gesture.

……

In the study, the first thing Shao Lian did when he saw Lord Wang was to ask about the assassination. Lord Wang had indeed found some information and immediately reported: "Although no traces could be found on these people, I was able to trace the source of the poison on their blades."

It was a poison from the Western Regions and was quite rare there. It was brought to the capital from outside by an old doctor who was interested in studying this kind of poison. However, the old doctor died of illness not long ago, and his pharmacy was closed by his useless descendants. It was not opened until the prince announced to the public that he had contracted an infectious disease.

Lord Wang secretly captured the descendants of his old doctor and interrogated them. In the end, he could only find out that the person belonged to the buyer's father-in-law. As for what the father-in-law looked like, the descendants could only give a vague impression, saying that when the father-in-law passed away, he found two red moles on the back of the man's neck.

"We are already stepping up our efforts to find this person," said Lord Wang.

Shao Lian nodded and said nothing more. He just asked Lord Wang to write down the source and situation in a memorial, and submit it to His Majesty for punishment when the people who were chasing him were found out. After all, if it was a eunuch, then it could only be someone in the palace, and he did not have the right to deal with people in the palace without going through the emperor's way.

"Yes."

After dealing with some important political affairs with Lord Wang, Shao Lian let Lord Wang go back. Although he had been absent for almost two months, nothing unexpected had happened.

He turned around and talked to Shang Liang, the steward of the Prince's Mansion, about his birthday, saying, "I have just recovered, so this birthday banquet doesn't need to be as grand as before. It's better to keep it casual."

Along with the housekeeper came Nanny Ping. She had no idea that Shao Lian had secretly left and truly believed that the Crown Prince had been seriously ill. She felt deeply distressed that Shao Lian, who had just recovered from his illness, had to take care of government affairs and worry about his birthday banquet. She also echoed Shao Lian, saying, "Indeed, it is as it should be. Your Highness has just recovered from a serious illness and should rest. Later, this old servant and the Concubine will draw up a list of people for the birthday banquet and send it to Your Highness."

Shao Lian's injuries had not healed yet, and his complexion did not look very good.
