Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

Chapter 35: The "Bad Man" in the Imperial Examination (14)

"Falled off a cliff?" Wang Chufen was a little angry. It was not the first time that these killers had done something for her, but this was the first time they failed. There were a few maids with only a little martial arts skills who followed her from nowhere.

"I'm very sure she won't survive. She can never get out if she falls into that gap. There's miasma all around, so there's no possibility of survival." The killer said it with certainty. The miasma was extremely toxic. One of the killers who tried to continue searching inside fainted in just a moment and died an hour later.

"Then send someone to guard the gap. If she comes out, kill her. If she doesn't come out, wait for a while." It seems that we have to raise a new batch of killers.

"Yes."

"What should we do?" Aunt Fan nervously grabbed Chen Xuyan's hand. Although Jiang Yihuan's death was a good thing, something happened at this critical juncture, which made it clear that they were the ones who did it, because the Chen family had not released any news about canceling the engagement.

It must have been Wang Chufen who did it!

"It's okay, Mom." She will get out alive.

"Alas, there is nothing we can do now that things have come to this." As long as he doesn't drag down his son, it doesn't matter. Reputation is not important either. Anyway, as long as he inherits the position of head of the family, no one will dare to ridicule him in the future.

She was a restless person. If she had married into the family, she wouldn't have allowed her to act so recklessly. She had met Jiang Shaomin before; she was a good child. His sister Jiang Yili was also good, so why did Jiang Yihuan have to be like this? I heard that she often disobeyed her mother at home, causing a lot of trouble. She relied on her father's favor and didn't take her mother seriously at all.

Although I am also a concubine's child, I would never do such a thing, and I will not allow my children to do such a thing that disrespects the elders.

Without waiting for Chen Xuyan to say anything else, he interrupted, "By the way, are you going to the home of your former classmate who was staying there?"

They had the same master, so what Aunt Fan said didn't really matter.

"Yes." Chen Xuyan was curious why his mother suddenly asked these questions.

She had, of course, seen her son on horseback in the parade. She'd heard he was a peasant boy, a prodigy, half a year younger than her son. She hadn't felt his father had stolen her son's top spot. Instead, she felt he was incredibly capable of winning the title in a world filled with aristocratic families, so his literary talent must be superior to her son's. Her son's poetry was rather stilted, and even after consulting with many renowned poets, he hadn't absorbed much. This was undoubtedly a hindrance to his performance. In other areas, she still considered her son the best.

"I bought some things. I'll have Chuntao bring them to you later. I heard his family also moved here with him. You must remember not to look down on others. Think about how many people in this family looked down on us both before, and now it's the same for others who have just arrived in the capital. If you want to make friends with others, you must respect their families."

"I understand, mother." He was a little surprised that she had such knowledge.

"Although we had a hard time in the Chen family in the past, you must not forget that your second uncle Chen and your two cousins have never looked down on us. When you become successful in the future, you must treat them with all your heart." Aunt Fan rarely spoke so much at once, but this time she really couldn't stop.

"A son should remember his mother's teachings."

Aunt Fan nodded with relief, "Go quickly."

"The eldest young master has grown up." Nanny Jiang couldn't help but feel very relieved.

"Yes, he was such a little kid back then, and he was almost killed by that vicious woman several times. I still remember that she killed a servant with a stick in front of Yan'er the day before his exam, and he was beaten to a bloody pulp. My son insisted on going to the exam, and after he came back, he had a high fever for several days and almost died. And later, he was suppressed by the teacher, and he was mentally hurt and had to rest for a long time. She deserved it for not being able to save the child, and she also raised her other two daughters like quails." Aunt Fan naturally knew Wang Chufen's true nature.

Nanny Jiang nodded. "Yes, there is a cause for every effect. The evil she did is now coming back upon her. I don't think any of her three children really treat her as their mother."

A hint of indifference flashed in Aunt Fan's eyes. "She is sincere to her son, but do you think he is grateful? He treats his two daughters like cats and dogs. The two children are fourteen or fifteen years old, and she has not considered finding a suitable one. She only wants them to marry back into the Wang family. But the master will not agree to this."

"Yes, I heard that the head of the family has already made a scene in the court. It's too early for the two younger ones born out of wedlock, but these two children are already old enough."

"Don't worry, the master has asked the old lady to help choose a concubine. I heard that they are in contact with the Cui family. The Cui family has a very good family tradition. They allow concubines only if the man is over 30 years old and has no children. If it really works out, it will be a happy event." No matter what, the children are innocent, and she never wants to blame the children for these things.

"Those two children are good, not bad ones." Fortunately, Wang Chufen didn't care about them. If they were "carefully" brought up by her, they would be no different from Chen Xusheng.

"That was in the past, but it's hard to say whether or not to focus on them now. She must make full use of the children she gave birth to. How could she let them escape from control so easily?" Because they had fought for so many years, she naturally understood Wang Chufen very well. This matter still depended on what the head of the family thought.

"Alas, there is nothing we can do. Self-preservation is the only thing we can do. We also have to be on guard. Our young master is in the prime of his career these past few years." How could she meddle in other people's business? The young master had to endure her schemes.

Chen Xuyan looked at the things in the car and thought that his mother must have moved all the things from home.

Chun Tao covered her mouth and laughed, "Master, please take the carriage at the back."

Chuntao pointed to the carriage behind Chen Xuyan that had just been pulled over by the coachman.

"Sister Chuntao, did my mother ask me to bring these things?" Chen Xuyan took a look. The items were neither old nor new, but it was obvious that they were carefully selected.

"Yes, young master, there are some in the car you are sitting in at the back." Chuntao couldn't help but teasing.

"Another one?" Doesn't that mean he has to take another one?

"Don't worry, there aren't many things in the car at the back. Auntie has reminded me that these are gifts for Mr. Xie and his family." Auntie admired this number one scholar very much, so naturally she couldn't treat him poorly. It took her a lot of time to select these things.

"Okay." Chen Xuyan nodded, turned around and got on the carriage.

To be honest, he did take some things, but they were all books. He wanted to give them some things slowly after they settled down, but he really didn't think of giving them so many things at once.
