Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

——Daybreak

"Where is Chen Xuyan?" Wei Siqi looked around the yard but didn't see anyone. Normally, he should have come out at this time.

Chen Zhao, who was picking vegetables, didn't even raise his head. "He's thinking about writing a letter to Master Zhang Fengchun. I'm afraid he won't come out for a while."

He was also told not to go in and disturb them.

"Okay then." Wei Siqi squatted on the ground and looked at the pheasant in a daze.

"When did you go pheasant hunting?"

Lin Zengjie continued plucking the chicken feathers, "While you were still sleeping."

It was obvious that Wei Siqi in front of him was the eldest master at home. If he was not called to eat every day, he might sleep until noon. The other one got up early, but he did not show up. He stayed in the room reading a book.

Wei Siqi looked embarrassed. "When I was in the academy, I used to get up very early every day. Maybe I've gotten used to being lazy now. I will study hard when I return."

But none of them wanted to pay attention to him, and they were all busy with their own things.

Chen Xuyan in the room seemed to be writing a letter, but in fact it was his clone who stayed behind, and his real body had left at some point in time.

He had to go to the Lotus Courtyard to rescue a key woman, and also to the palace to do something.

......

- Two hours later

"It's almost time for dinner, why hasn't Chen Xuyan finished writing yet?" Wei Siqi was a little puzzled.

Chen Xuyan writes articles with such ease, why is he so slow in writing a letter? Is there something he's having trouble deciding what to say? Or did he fall asleep?

Chen Zhao brought out the last bowl of food from the kitchen. "Go call him, I'll serve the rice."

Wei Siqi nodded, "Okay."

He walked straight to Chen Xuyan's door and knocked, "Chen Xuyan?"

"Chen Xuyan!"

He called out several times but heard no movement from inside. Just when he was about to push the door open, it suddenly opened.

"Is it time to eat?" Chen Xuyan asked.

Wei Siqi was startled. He thought something had happened to Chen Xuyan. "I'm so scared. Why didn't you agree to me for so long?"

"Sorry, I was so engrossed in writing that I've finished it." Chen Xuyan smiled.

"It's time to eat indeed."

Wei Siqi always felt that his smile was weird, but he couldn't tell what was weird, so he had to follow him and ask.

——The Dugu Family Backyard

"Young Master! Young Master!" Several servants hurriedly carried Dugu Jinghuai back from the Lotus Villa.

One of Dugu Jinghuai's eyes was still bleeding, and he kept wailing all the way, but there was no doctor in the Lotus Villa, and the few doctors on hand were only for women's illnesses.

They had no choice but to move Dugu Jinghuai back. They had already sent someone to the palace to ask the imperial concubine for the imperial physician halfway through, and the doctor in the mansion was also ready.

"It hurts so much! It hurts so much, I want to kill that little bitch!" Dugu Jinghuai was filled with hatred, but now he could only be furious.

It wasn't just his eyes that were in trouble; his baby was in trouble too! Now he couldn't feel the baby's vitality anymore, and he didn't know if he could be saved.

If he really fails in the future, his father will definitely give up on him and train those two bastards. He absolutely cannot allow such a thing to happen!

"Don't let them know what I'm doing, otherwise I'll kill you!" Dugu Jinghuai threatened with gritted teeth.

"Yes, young master." Several people were already extremely panicked, fearing that they would be killed if they were not careful.

Dugu Xin, who had hurried back, couldn't help but become nervous at this moment, "How is Jing Huai now? How did it become like this?"

Several people almost told the truth because of Dugu Xin's attitude, but they soon remembered Dugu Jinghuai's warning and did not have the courage to tell the truth.

"Master, your eyes can't be saved. The imperial physician said that your eyeballs were pierced on the spot. Even gods can't help. There's nothing they can do."

"We killed that maid on the spot, but the matter between the master and the princess can no longer be concealed." Today's banquet at the Lotus Villa was hosted by Princess Xia Handan herself.

No one could have guessed that the master had clearly given the young lady from the Sheng family an aphrodisiac, yet somehow the person he ended up with was actually the princess. Those attending the banquet today were all important officials from the court, including many members of the royal family. Originally, the eldest princess was supposed to come from Fenghuang County, but she caught a cold and ended up having to hand over the banquet to the princess.

Dugu Xin didn't take this matter to heart. After all, it had already happened. His son would not suffer any loss if he married the princess, and he could also get the eldest princess on board for free. This time, the slippery eldest princess could not avoid being in cahoots with their family.

What he was most worried about was Dugu Jinghuai's future. He was his only legitimate son. If he had any physical defects, he would not be able to become an official in the future.

But he thought again, wouldn't it be enough if his son and Xia Handan gave birth to a boy in the future? Wouldn't that make it easier for their family to ascend the throne?

Even if Nan Ge's son in the future is too rebellious, their family still has a backup plan.

Dugu Xin, who had figured it out, quickly relaxed and said, "Do your best to treat him and make sure he lives."

He looked at his confidant behind him and said, "Go to the warehouse and pick out a few good things, and personally deliver them to the Princess's residence in Phoenix County."

De Ling's confidants soon knew what he wanted to do.

"Yes."

......

——Sun Mansion

"Mom, I don't want to get married. He is older than my grandfather." Sun Qiuyun pulled Wei Yuan's sleeve with a look of fear. He felt suffocated when he thought of King Ping's cloudy eyes and wrinkled face.

But when Wei Yuan, who always loved her, heard this, the smile on her face instantly turned into a sinister warning, "Don't be silly, if you don't marry, your father's official position will soon be lost. This is the last chance that Lord Dugu has given my family."

In this world, only Dugu Xin has this ability.

This was the deal Dugu Xin made with Prince Ping. Now, which decent family would be willing to marry their daughter, even a concubine's daughter, to Prince Ping's mansion? Even if someone really wanted to sell their daughter for fame and fortune, they would have to consider their own official reputation.

But their family has completely run out of options. This is their last way to survive. Otherwise, the censors will not let them go easily. At this time, only Dugu Xin can save them.

The eldest son is still in prison, and the fact that the second son keeps a mistress is already known to everyone. The Sun family's reputation has become as bad as it can be.

Even Sun Jiangxi, who always loved his concubine terribly, did not dare to disrespect her at this time, so as not to add to the blame of favoring his concubine over his wife.

"Listen to your mother and marry King Ping obediently. When he dies, we will take you home." She had promised herself, and she said it at this time just to reassure Sun Qiuyun.

Her face was filled with sorrow. "Have you forgotten your eldest brother? He's been framed and imprisoned, and Lord Dugu is no longer willing to intervene. Prince Ping has already sent a message to our family, saying that if you marry him, Yiqin will be released immediately!"

No matter what reputation Sun Yiqin carries, he has long been Wei Yuan's only hope. Wei Yuan originally envisioned that he could pass the imperial examination and get a government position. After a few years, Sun Jiangxi would promote him and make some efforts to help the family, and then the family would have another great helper.

Wei Yuan hadn't expected that the people Wei Siqi brought with him would be so extraordinary. How could that peasant boy actually become the top scorer in the imperial examination?!

His son is the one who truly has the talent to be the top scholar!

Sun Qiuyun still didn't want to accept it, "Mom, I don't want to get married. Can you go and beg Dad? If my eldest brother is at home, he will definitely save me!"

Wei Yuan pulled her hand away, "Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit! You have to marry, whether you want to or not. The engagement letter has been exchanged and the wedding date has been set. It's not up to you to decide."

"Do you still think you are the same person as before? Everyone in the capital knows that you are so vicious at such a young age. You have caused the deaths of several young ladies from official families. You are lucky to be alive now."

She spoke out all her true feelings without any concealment, but after saying it, she felt as if she had said something a little too harsh.

Sun Qiuyun withdrew her hand, but the hatred in her heart also intensified. "Is it all my fault? I only attacked two of them. The rest were all Dugu Nange's fault! The Dugu family is shameless. Now that something has happened, they are pushing it all onto me!"

"I will eventually clear my name and restore my innocence!"

When Wei Yuan heard this, she slapped her without hesitation, "Shut up! Stop slandering the Imperial Concubine! You did all this, and it has nothing to do with the Imperial Concubine."

If she were really allowed to go out and make a fuss, wouldn't their Sun family be in trouble even faster?

Right now, they were relying on the Dugu family wholeheartedly and couldn't do anything that would harm the Dugu family's interests. Was this bitch trying to kill their family?

Sun Qiuyun's cheek was broken by the slap she gave her with all her strength. Blood dripped from the corner of her mouth, which looked a bit scary.

Wei Yuan seemed to want to make amends, but Sun Qiuyun avoided her hand and stared at her with a fierce look on her face.

"Think it over carefully. Stay in this yard and wait to get married. Don't go anywhere else!" She had no choice but to leave the room embarrassedly.

- Doorway

Wei Yuan called a few capable maids to wait.

"Everyone, keep a close eye on her! If she runs away, I'll kill you!"

Several maids said, "Yes, ma'am."

-In the room

Sun Qiuyun hesitated again and again but still did not insert the golden hairpin in her hand into her throat. She did not want to die so easily and let the whole family suffer in vain.

She will definitely live well and watch them die while she is still alive!

As for the Dugu family, she wanted to watch them die with her own eyes.

......

- the next day

"I originally thought there was nothing I couldn't let go of, but now that I really have to leave, I feel a little reluctant." Zhang Fengchun looked back at the house behind him reluctantly. Although the house is not big, it means a lot to him.

Lin Yi took his arm and said, "Yes, this is our home too."

The maids and the boys had already loaded all the things onto the carriage. The largest amount of things on the carriage were books, which were all collected by Zhang Fengchun over the years.

Zhang Fengchun did not sell the house, but left it to an elderly housekeeper to look after it, secretly hoping that his son might be able to use it one day in the future.

As for silver and money, he really didn't care much about them. These things were just material possessions, and enough was enough.

They set out very early, before it was fully light.

Zhang Fengchun didn't want to run into other officials on duty when he went out, so he inevitably felt a little down. He had originally thought that after working with these people for so many years, he might have some friendship, but he didn't expect that these people would immediately take advantage of his misfortune and step on him harshly.

Among these people, there are even his students!

The person who really cared about him in the time of crisis was Chen Xuyan, whom he had never met before and had only met once!

How pathetic! He really doesn't know people well! So confused!

The coachman had been with him for many years and he drove very steadily, which made Zhang Fengchun feel a lot more at ease.

If nothing unexpected happens during the two hours of leaving the city, he should be able to reach his son alive. The best way to kill him is to set an ambush on Heifeng, otherwise they will have no chance once they reach Tongzhou City.

Both husband and wife closed their eyes in thought.

The carriage suddenly stopped and both of them opened their eyes.

Just as Lin Yi was about to open her mouth, Zhang Fengchun covered her mouth and signaled her not to speak.

Everyone in the Zhang family can be considered loyal, even the groom dares to rush forward to fight.

The sound of swords clashing made Zhang Fengchun, who was used to a peaceful life, a little scared. It seemed that all their people had been killed and it was soon their turn.

Zhang Fengchun held Lin Yi's hand tightly, ready to die calmly. He took out two poison pills from his arms and prepared to take them.

Lin Yi stopped him.

The sound of fighting was heard again outside the carriage. This time there were more people listening, and the sound of swords and knives was louder. Zhang Fengchun quietly lifted a corner of the carriage curtain.

What they saw was a group of imperial guards surrounding the men in black. They were well-trained and killed people quickly and efficiently. The men in black were no match for them and were quickly killed.

It seemed that two men in black had escaped, but the imperial guards had no intention of chasing them.

The leader of the group looked at him, then left with his men.

Zhang Fengchun helped Lin Yi, whose legs were shaking, out of the car.

Lin Yi covered her mouth, "They, they are all dead!"

Zhang Fengchun nodded numbly, but soon he discovered something, "They are still there!"

The coachman and two servants crawled out from under the carriage with terrified looks on their faces, looking as if they were frightened to death.

"It's okay, it's okay." Lin Yi comforted them.

"Sir, let's go quickly! We can't stay here for long!" The groom almost thought he was going to be hacked to death, but fortunately he was saved by an arrow shot by the imperial guards.

"It was the palace guards who saved us just now? Is this the emperor's intention? What exactly does the emperor want to do?" Lin Yi was really confused.

Since Zhou Yusheng demoted him, why did he want to save him? Isn't this a contradiction?

"It must be the Duke of England who saved me." If he guessed correctly.
