Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

Chapter 28: The "Bad Man" in the Imperial Examination (7)

Jiang Yihuan looked at herself in the mirror. Even though she didn't have any valuable jewelry on her, it was still not difficult to see her stunning appearance. These were all changes brought about by the system.

She was determined to conquer Chen Xusheng, and with systematic help, she wasn't afraid of not being able to win him over. The Chen family had many distinguished guests today, and the old lady was almost the most senior member of the Chen family. Presumably, all the other major families, including the royal family, would have sent their outstanding sons and nephews.

Minister Jiang gave Jiang Yihuan a separate carriage, but they both set out at the same time. Since the invitation was in the hands of his mother, they had to enter together. Men and women sat at separate tables, and Minister Jiang's entrance was also different from theirs. However, before or after the banquet began, the Chen family would open some areas for guests to move around freely.

This kind of banquet naturally wouldn't prevent men and women of the same age from interacting, not to mention that many people would also use this banquet to make friends and chat, or even some young men and women would get to know each other. They all came prepared, just riding on the Chen family's influence.

"Mother, look at what she is wearing. Outsiders might say that our Jiang family treats our concubine's daughter harshly." Jiang Yili was very dissatisfied, especially since Jiang Yihuan had smiled at him with a smug look before getting in the car.

Madam Jiang shook her head. "Do you think anyone other than a few aristocratic families or the royal family would bring a concubine's daughter to this banquet? Your father is insane. He'll regret it soon. Just wait and see."

She wasn't worried about anyone saying anything; it was all unwritten rules, and anyone with a discerning eye could see she was calculating. She just didn't know if it would affect her son, after all, he was close to Chen Xuyan. But he'd often heard from his son that he was an exceptionally talented person, so he probably wouldn't blame his son.

Didn't she want to teach her concubine's daughter? Especially a concubine's daughter who could marry into a noble family?

The Chen family's eldest lady had already warned her that concubines had their own fates and were not allowed to be taught any more. If she really got into trouble, good or bad, the Chen family's lady and Concubine Fan would tear her apart. But there was nothing she could do now; she had to deal with it as it came. It was best not to offend the Chen family if possible. Regardless, whether she knew everything or not, someone in the Chen family would not tolerate her. Life or death was her destiny.

She wanted to meet Minister Jiang, but he didn't give her the chance to meet him. So there was nothing to say. Anyway, she had asked her son to inform the eldest son of the Chen family. She believed that with the other party's ability, he must have been prepared.

Jiang Yili exclaimed, "Brother, do you know?"

Madam Jiang patted the back of her hand and said, "Don't worry, I've already told him. Don't let her instigate you at the banquet later. Be careful about everything. If you're unsure, come and ask me."

"I understand mother, I will definitely not be harmed by her. I will not go anywhere and will just play with some familiar sisters at the banquet." I am not a smart person and I made a big mistake at the Chen family's banquet. No one can save me, not even my brother.

"Great, let's do it." Mrs. Jiang quickly felt relieved.

Logically, I shouldn't be as impulsive as my daughter. I don't know if the argument with the master that day was caused by a demon. Is she possessed by a demon? There have been many suspicious things about her lately. I don't know what's wrong with her. She has changed so much.

"System, how should I find Chen Xusheng later?" The Chen family is too big. She never visited all of them in her previous life, and there are some places she can't enter at all.

"Don't worry, he's in the Chen family's inner house now. You can't get in. I'll tell you his location when he comes out."

"Second Miss, where are you going? Madam said we can't run around today." Madam Jiang saw Jiang Yihuan leave in the blink of an eye, so she quickly sent someone to call her back.

Jiang Yihuan nodded and said, "This place has a unique scenery. I just walked here and got a little lost."

"You'd better stop running around. Madam asked you to go back quickly." The maid was a first-class maidservant beside Madam Jiang, so she was naturally rude to her.

Jiang Yihuan didn't argue with her and just followed her back.

"Hey, let me see who it is. It's my second sister. Don't you know that this is the Chen Mansion? You are running around aimlessly. If you offend someone, the Jiang family will also be implicated by you." Jiang Yili glared at her.

"I just got lost. Why do you say that to me, big sister? Is this a huge mistake?" After saying that, she lowered her head, looking like she was about to cry.

"You!" Jiang Yili felt very angry when he saw her look like this.

"Is this your half-sister?" The woman in light yellow clothes next to her rolled her eyes at Jiang Yihuan. Such a vixen dared to come to such a banquet. It must be that both mother and mother were good at seduction. Her concubine was also like this, but she was suppressed by her mother.

"I don't know why a mere concubine's daughter, who isn't a noble lady from an aristocratic family, dares to come to this kind of banquet."

"That's right, I'll have to talk to you about it when I get back."

The sounds that came one after another made Jiang Yihuan feel a little helpless for the first time since her rebirth, but she was obviously not very convinced.

"Are concubine's daughters inferior to others?" Jiang Yihuan wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

The young masters who were silent around now felt that these noble ladies were a bit aggressive, but her status was indeed low, and it would be difficult to say if they asked for help, not to mention that they knew she was Chen Xuyan's fiancée after just a little inquiry.

"I heard that she is the fiancée of the eldest son of the Chen family."

"Why did the Chen family marry such a concubine, and she is just a concubine from the minister's family." The man shook his head.

"You know what? Although the eldest son is a concubine's son, he is very outstanding, but the legitimate son's talent is mediocre. This marriage was arranged by the wife of the head of the family. I don't know why." It must be because his son is not as good as the other one, otherwise why would he choose such a concubine's daughter? Although she has outstanding temperament and good looks. But she is of low birth. Moreover, the Chen family is a very large family. Even if Chen Xuyan does not inherit the family business, he will be a great burden to his family if he has such a fiancée.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows why Mrs. Chen arranged such a marriage for Chen and Xu Yan'an, but no one pointed it out. Even today, when people see this fiancée, they don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

Madam Chen was receiving several people from other clans and some princesses and daughters in the front hall. When the confidant learned what had happened, he hurried over and reported it to Madam Chen in a low voice.

Madam Chen frowned. Why was she here? The Jiang family's status was too low, and she really didn't notice that they actually brought a concubine's daughter, and such rumors were spread.

"Let the Second Young Master go through."

"Wait, come back."

"You told him to say this..."
