Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

Jiang Yihuan watched this farce with great satisfaction. His stepmother was so foolish that he had no idea how he had ended up in her hands in his previous life. However, the mother and daughter were not a problem. The real trouble was probably his stepbrother, who was studying at the Chen family and was Chen Xuyan's right-hand man.

This is also the only person in the Jiang family that Minister Jiang cares about, Jiang Shaomin.

In his previous life, he had always been Chen Xuyan's lackey. He even slapped himself twice because she embarrassed Chen Xuyan. He would not let any of these people go.

Especially when the stepmother mentioned Jiang Shaomin just now, the old man instantly woke up, but he did not apologize, just waved his sleeves and left. Even with Jiang Shaomin's presence, the rift between the two of them had already arisen, and it was unlikely to heal for a while.

It was the same slap in the face in his previous life, but Jiang Yihuan felt that he was not wronged at all when he received the slap from his stepmother today.

"The charm skill has expired." The system's voice sounded.

"So fast?" Jiang Yihuan was a little unsatisfied, but she had already gotten what she wanted. Just now, she charmed the housekeeper to send her bird's nest, which was something only the mother and daughter could enjoy.

"Your father almost woke up completely today, which cost him a lot of luck points. Mainly because your luck points are really limited, so you must conquer Chen Xusheng as soon as possible. Otherwise, your beauty and charm will be difficult to maintain." Everything has a price.

"I understand." Jiang Yihuan didn't say anything else. She absolutely couldn't lose all this. She had already tasted the sweetness.

Buying clothes in the capital city was indeed very expensive. With two hundred taels, Jiang Yihuan only managed to buy one piece of clothing that was slightly satisfactory. Jewelry and other items were astronomical and out of her reach. But Jiang Yili was different. His stepmother was wealthy and had the financial support, so Jiang Yili could afford anything here.

Yet, none of these clothes and jewelry could compare to what she had seen at the Chen residence. Those items simply weren't available on the market. The clothes were embroidered by Jiangnan's finest embroiderers, laboring for countless days, yet the eldest lady still felt they weren't good enough. The jewelry was adorned with precious gemstones of all colors, sourced from all corners of the world, dazzling and worth a fortune. But even these were nothing. The Chen family possessed the largest library, accumulated by generations of ancestors, and sometimes even borrowed from the royal family.

The other families are Li, Cui, Lu, Zheng, and Wang, each with their own strengths. The Chen family is the top three, as imperial power is merely a side hustle for them. It can be said that they can get involved.

"Second Miss, can the eldest lady wear this outfit? It's really embarrassing for the Jiang family."

"It's okay, big brother will take care of her when the time comes." She had already written a letter to her big brother to explain the family affairs. Big brother has been very busy recently. The Chen family is preparing for the birthday banquet, and he and the eldest young master have been very busy recently, but he asked her to relax.

I don’t know what kind of luck this girl has to have to marry the eldest son of the Chen family. Is she worthy of him?

Since she wanted to go so badly, her brother said there was no need to stop her. The Chen family's guests were all distinguished guests, and some would definitely dislike her. Chen Xuyan was very popular, and since she had this engagement, it meant she would have countless rivals.

At home, she can still have her father's support, but when the time comes, she will be embarrassed and humiliated, and no one can save her.

My mother and I have to stay away from it when the time comes.

"What the young master said is of course reasonable." The young lady and the lady were already close to collapse, but a letter from the young master was enough to calm them down.

Jiang Yihuan was also surprised by this, because with their tempers, they were not the type to tolerate it. He had originally planned to make them lose their father's heart completely, but it was all in vain. Still unconvinced, he went to pay his respects that morning, but the other party seemed oblivious and let him go with a fake smile.

I'm really lucky to have a good son.

Chen Xuyan has been very busy recently. Although he is only twelve years old, Chen Xingjian obviously does not treat him as a child.

He has a lot of things to do, and one thing follows another, so he hasn't been seen in the academy recently. His younger brothers have also started to indulge themselves, but they still go back to look for him after school, but they have been disappointed recently.

Mrs. Chen had originally wanted her son to help, but after the previous incident, Chen Xingjian was very distrustful and this time asked him to review his studies. Chen Xuyan was accompanied by his brothers to meet many of his peers, and the gifts they exchanged were all prepared by Chen Xingjian in advance.

Chen Xingjian also deliberately did not let her come into contact with the eldest lady's family. It would be embarrassing if he was dealt with by those old guys at his age, so everything went smoothly.

Due to Chen Xusheng's status, although no one said anything openly, there was a lot of complaints behind the scenes. He was about the same age as Chen Xuyan, and although he came from a much better family, his performance was far different from Chen Xuyan's. His talent was mediocre. Although everyone was usually peaceful, people from other major families with the same background were very polite when interacting with Chen Xuyan.

"Look at them, they are all Chen Xuyan's lackeys." Chen Xusheng started to lose his temper as soon as he got off school.

Mrs. Chen was angry but she didn't show it. "Just study hard. Your father will see through you sooner or later."

Although she said this, Mrs. Chen knew very well that she was comforting him.

"Mother, I don't need to take the imperial examination. I can be any official I want when the time comes. But now they are all surrounding that illegitimate son and don't take me seriously at all!" Chen Xusheng was very dissatisfied.

Mrs. Chen embraced him and said, "What are you afraid of? Everything in this Chen family belongs to you. I won't allow him to take your things. If you don't want to study, then don't study. Your father is a pedantic person. With his family background here, what's the point of studying?"

"Wait until your birthday, and then your mother will give you a big party. He's not qualified, so you don't have to worry."

Chen Xusheng's gloomy expression finally looked better.

Originally, Madam Chen was going to make things difficult for Chen Xuyan, but he did not go to the Wang family. The head of the family protected him like the apple of his eye. What was the difference between him and the legitimate son? If it weren't for the fact that Fan was usually quite obedient, she would definitely not tolerate him.

If you still want to get this good reputation smoothly, I will not agree. At the banquet, I will definitely let this brat see what the "style" of a legitimate mother is. And those illegitimate children of the Chen family are all so tactless that they can't even tell who to curry favor with!

I remember all of these.
