After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

Chapter 24 Moderate intelligence

Madam Zhang knew that Yi Cheng's family had been patient for a long time and could not continue to suffer the trouble because of their mother and daughter, so she briefly inquired about the situation of Yu Zizhen and others and agreed.

It's not that she doesn't want to be a commoner, it's really that she can no longer protect her daughter and herself from the pressure of the Zhang family and the Liu family.

Just like Yi Cheng said, it was hard to find a good family like Zhenbei Palace. She and her daughter were able to take shelter from the prince's son. In fact, they were very lucky.

With this idea in mind, Madam Zhang served Yu Zizhen with great care.

The next day, the eunuchs and accompanying officials who came from the capital to receive the news came to Yu Zizhen together with very complicated moods.

Yu Zizhen was told by Dr. Feng that she had to stay in bed and rest, so she could only sit there and give nondescript returns to the officials and eunuchs who called her visits but were actually inquiring about information.

Because the high fever had not completely subsided, Yu Zizhen's face was red, her lips were white, and she was listless. However, she still smiled sweetly and politely managed to exchange greetings with the officials and eunuchs.

She was so humble and polite, and did not neglect others just because she was a superior prince. This made those officials and eunuchs have a better impression of her.

Everyone knew that she still needed to rest, so they sat for a while and then left with Mr. Jiang. Yu Zizhen was not idle either. She found out the marriage contracts between Madam Zhang and Liu Ping'an and threw them directly into the brazier and burned them.

Madam Zhang was so frightened that she knelt down in front of Yu Zizhen and said, "Your Majesty."

"Don't be nervous, I'm not driving you away." Yu Zizhen motioned to Xinghua to help her up, "I just don't want the orphans of the border guards to be relegated to a lowly status."

Madam Zhang's tears suddenly became even more intense. This was the first time that someone recognized her husband's contribution, and someone looked down upon them because of their status as orphans of border guards.

She wiped her tears randomly, feeling that she had a thousand words to say in her heart, but she didn't know how to say a complete sentence.

Yu Zizhen knew that she must be in a complicated mood at the moment, so he smiled and comforted her and Liu Ping'an, "You can feel free to follow me from now on. As long as you are loyal to me and do things well for me, I will always protect you."

Madam Zhang pulled her daughter and couldn't help but kowtow to her three times, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty! Thank you so much, Your Majesty! My slaves and Ping An will definitely be loyal and do their jobs well."

Yu Zizhen smiled and said, "Don't call yourself a slave anymore, just call me 'subordinate'."

Mrs. Zhang was filled with excitement and pulled her daughter to say "yes" loudly.

Yu Zizhen said again: "I don't need you to serve me here for the time being. While our motorcade has not yet set off, you can go and talk about old times with Lady Yi Cheng. In the future, the mountains and rivers will be far away, and it will be difficult for you to meet again." "

Madam Zhang hesitated, "Slave, I'd better stay here to take care of you."

"No need." Yu Zizhen slowly lay down, "I'm going to sleep for a long time. Let Xinghua stay in the room and touch my forehead from time to time."

Madam Zhang gritted her teeth and said, "Then I'll come back as soon as I can."

She didn't want to go to Yi Cheng's wife to reminisce about the past, but she wanted to buy something to thank Yi Cheng's family for protecting her and her daughter over the years.

When she agreed to sign a death contract and enter the palace, she actually thought about leaving some money to Yi Cheng's family as a token of gratitude. After all, at that time, she didn't know that Yu Zizhen would give her a holiday so that she could have time to buy thank you gifts.

But the Yi Cheng lady resolutely rejected her at that time, and the two of them fought back and forth several times. Every time she managed to push the money over, the Yi Cheng lady would reluctantly stuff it back to her.Madam Zhang was helpless. She was busy going to see Mr. Jiang with Yi Cheng. Naturally, she couldn't continue fighting with Yi Cheng without limit. She had no choice but to take back the money.

Now that Yu Zizhen was willing to give her a chance to reminisce and say goodbye to her old friends, she immediately thought of buying a thank-you gift for Yi Cheng's family.

Leaving Liu Ping'an behind and asking her and Xinghua to look after Yu Zizhen, Mrs. Zhang hurried out the door.

She didn't know that Yu Zizhen actually had an ulterior motive for doing this, so she was filled with sighs about her new master's generosity and kindness.

In a hurry, she bought two bags of candy, two roasted chickens, two pieces of fine cloth, and a pair of glossy silver bracelets that were heavy but without any patterns. Madam Zhang then wiped the sweat from her forehead and went to find the post office happily. Madam Cheng.

The postmaster had an eldest daughter who was already engaged, and Lady Zhang gave her fine cloth and silver bracelets in the name of adding makeup to her.

This time, the Yi Cheng lady did not insist on refusing. After the two of them exchanged polite words, the Yi Cheng lady accepted the gift brought by Madam Zhang.

At the same time, one of the guards of Zhenbei Palace also told Mr. Jiang about Yu Zizhen's sale of his body and Mrs. Zhang's gratitude to Yi Cheng's family.

Mr. Jiang touched his beard and twitched the corners of his mouth, "The prince is trying to win people's hearts."

He is smart, but his methods are too immature.Such a clumsy and straightforward way of doing things can only be bribed by an ignorant village woman like Madam Zhang who comes from a rural background.

But that's fine. For them and King Zhenbei, whether Yu Zizhen, as a proton, is stupid and unaware, or too smart or too mature, the level of trouble is actually the same.

On the contrary, her current appearance is the most convenient for them to guide her.

Just as Mr. Jiang was thinking about it, a burst of louder and louder curses suddenly came from outside the station.

The guard went out to take a look at the situation, "Sir, it's the Liu family."

The Liu family came to pick up Liu Pingan. They found a husband for Liu Pingan who was willing to give 20 taels of silver as a betrothal gift. The other party was eager to let Liu Pingan marry him to celebrate his seriously ill son, so the wedding date was set very close.

In order not to delay the auspicious time tomorrow, the Liu family had to take Liu Pingan back to the Liu family today no matter what.

Because they had a firm belief that they had to take people away today no matter what, the Liu family did not restrain themselves this time just because this was an inn.

While they were cursing and shouting, they were trying to rush into the inn by taking advantage of the strength of the crowd.

However, to their surprise, the person who blocked them from the door this time was not their old acquaintance Yi Cheng, but a group of armored and powerful soldiers with awe-inspiring aura.

These soldiers are different from Yi Cheng who mainly talk. When they face the Liu family, the first thing they do is to unsheath their weapons.

The sharp spear points and blades were lined up in a row, frightening the Liu family so much that they didn't dare to rush forward any more.

"What, what's going on?" The old lady of the Liu family who led the riot felt weak all over. She squeezed her eldest son's hand hard, "Why did so many soldiers suddenly appear in the inn?"
