Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

"What's wrong with my son, doctor?" Aunt Fan looked at the doctor with an unhappy expression.

The woman's appearance was truly remarkable. Although she was clearly not young, her beauty was hard to conceal. She wore few ornaments, but it was clear they were all valuables. Her drooping eyebrows made one feel sad.

The doctor quickly lowered his head and said, "The eldest master is fine, he is just a little tired. He needs to rest well and take some medicine."

"Okay." The woman knew he was exhausted, but born into a family like this, with no support from her, she knew how he could achieve anything without giving it his all. Even as a mere woman, she knew that since they were destined to be in opposition, if they couldn't secure the position of head of the family, they, mother and son, would be doomed.

The woman's eyes blazed with anger at the thought. Her own son was far superior to the legitimate son. Even with the disparity in status, anyone from the Chen family who married into the family would be a nobody. The Chen family was one of the six great aristocratic families, and regardless of whether they were legitimate sons or not, they were all worthy of respect, let alone the fact that they were both sons of the head of the family.

Ultimately, it was because that stupid woman hated herself that she arranged such a marriage for my son.

"Chun Tao, see the doctor off. Take the prescription and ask them to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine." Aunt Fan waved her hand.

"Yes, ma'am." Chuntao bowed respectfully.

"Doctor, this way." Chun Tao looked at the rather nervous doctor and reassured him along the way. This was normal. No one could underestimate the power of the Chen family. Not to mention that they were the main branch. The Chen family had such a large mansion in this prosperous part of the capital that it would take a long time to walk there, let alone take a closer look.

This doctor wasn't from the mansion. Madam didn't trust the first lady. She had previously done something bad to the eldest young master before he took the exam. Fortunately, the eldest young master was very hardworking and was able to pass the exam. Unlike the first lady's son, who repeatedly failed the exam and only knew how to talk about being born legitimately.

But the head of the family was the one who cared the least. What he cared about most was ability, and he often beat the second young master with a stick because of what he said.

Aunt Fan returned to the inner room and felt heartbroken when she saw her son mumbling to himself in a coma.

"Miss, don't be sad. The eldest young master is a lucky man and will wake up soon." Nanny Jiang patted her shoulder.

The young lady was the daughter of an official who had fallen on hard times. She had been well-educated as a child, but her family fell on hard times and all the men in her family were killed or exiled. She had been working in the Jiaofang Bureau, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, she was targeted by her enemies and was sold to Yangzhou to be a skinny horse.

When I went there, the young lady had already given herself to the head of the family. She also managed to be "sold" to the Chen family and came to Kyoto with them.

"My son is already a scholar at a young age, and that's why he is bullied everywhere. Even though we have been on guard again and again, she still found a loophole." They were prepared for drugging and bribing servants.

But I didn't expect that the teacher would be won over and suppress Ayan a lot, assigning him countless homework. A child who never gave up was exhausted and collapsed. The old lady even scolded him for being "too strong-willed".

"The eldest son is very talented. Before the last exam, she dragged him to watch bloody things, but he still passed the exam and became a scholar. He is only twelve years old. His son is eleven years old, but I heard that he is not interested in studying and plays with cats and dogs all day long. How can she bear to see this child studying hard all day long?" Nanny Jiang sighed. Although relying on the power and connections of the Chen family, even if she fails to pass the exam in the future, it will definitely not be difficult to arrange an official position for him.

However, to be recognized by the head of the family and the elders of the Chen family, one must be both civil and military, with absolute ability. The Chen family has more than just the master's branch of legitimate descendants, and they are all eyeing him covetously. They are eager to add fuel to the fire when Chen Xuyan suffers, and even want to make the eldest lady and concubine Fan fall out.

"She was born in the Wang family and thought she had nothing to worry about and everything belonged to her. But my son's surname was Chen, not Wang, so why can't my son fight for the Chen family's things?" In the Wang family, everything was based on the legitimate children, and the illegitimate children were of lower status.

However, this was not the case with the other major families. Although legitimate children received more resources, illegitimate children were also well-educated, and only brothers with a united heart could succeed. Even the brothers and sisters of the head of the family had their own achievements, but they all had to put the family first.

However, Wang Shi, boasting of her ancestor from the Pei family, who nearly became emperor, constantly emphasized her lineage, which incurred the displeasure of the imperial family. While outwardly respecting the royal family, she secretly dwelled on her bloodline, making life difficult for the illegitimate children of the family, often questioned as to whether they were members of the aristocratic family. This situation improved somewhat later. However, Wang Chufen was deeply ingrained in her, and she looked down upon every illegitimate child of the Chen family.

"We still have to be extremely careful. We should arrange more people to be around the young master in the future, and we must not be careless in any aspect." said Nanny Jiang.

"Yes, she is focused on this." Although the head of the family would not allow her to brazenly suppress them in the Chen family, there are always times when the head of the family is not around.

But she is also stupid and can only do bad things in these ways. The master of the family only respects the old lady. She is not the master's biological mother, and she has more than one child. The master of the family was already grown up when she took him away, and was almost the same age as the second young master now.

After years of childlessness, she took the head of the family home and later gave birth to her own child. However, the head of the family was already fully grown by then and had long been designated as the heir. She didn't dare to do anything else, but she still had her eye on that position and was sure to treat her child better than the head of the family, so she left him.

But the old woman seemed to be unable to recognize the truth. She thought that it was because of the young lady that she was trying to save face. However, as long as the master of the house was in the house, she would not dare to do anything too embarrassing.

"I heard she is pregnant again." Aunt Fan touched her belly and realized that she could never give birth again.

"But it's nothing. Giving birth to a few stupid kids won't help." She shook her head again and tucked Chen Xuyan's quilt.

"Yes, she only dotes on the child and is afraid that our eldest young master will have a bright future. We just need to stay in this yard with peace of mind, and the rest will be taken care of when the eldest young master grows up. As for the marriage, let it take its course, we can't change it." Nanny Jiang comforted her.

"I know, but I just won't accept it. I won't let it go so easily. I still have to find a way to let the head of the family know about this." She secretly hardened her heart. Since she was unkind, don't blame herself for being unjust.

Is it possible that I am the only one who has a child and she doesn't?

Even if you don't take action yourself, there are many people who want to take action.

Chen Xuyan opened his eyes in a daze, but he also accepted the original owner's perception, so he felt very tired. When he saw the woman in front of him, he called out in a daze.

"mother."

"Miss, the eldest young master has woken up." Nanny Jiang had been paying attention to Chen Xuyan's movements.

"Mother is here." Aunt Fan quickly came back to her senses and held his hand.

"I am so tired."

"If you're tired, go to sleep. Have a good rest these few days. Don't worry about your studies. Mom has already asked for leave for you."

"Thank you, Mom." After saying that, Chen Xuyan closed his eyes again.

Aunt Fan sang the little tune she had heard in her childhood, and Chen Xuyan's brows relaxed.
