Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

Chen Xuyan finally got out of the city. The original owner was only a six-year-old child, and running so far was already the limit for him. He sat down and rested for a while, holding onto the wall.

He looked around the city gate. He remembered that the original owner's unruly third uncle seemed to have promoted a servant to guard the city gate, but that was last year and he didn't know whether this person had been transferred.

If we wait aimlessly, we will have to wait until at least night for Cui Xianxun to be dismissed from the Phnom Penh camp. He might be caught by Chen Shishi before that time.

Now not only he is anxious, Chen Shishi is not much better off.

It's a pity that he can't go to the Duke of Shun's Mansion. Cui Wujiu is the smartest person in the Cui family, but Chen Shishi never thought that he would go to find Cui Xianxun, a mere military man.

found it!

Xu Qie, who had just left the city gate to change his job and go home, was caught off guard by a child who hugged his thighs.

"Child? Have you lost your parents?" Such a thing has indeed happened recently. During this period, many officials have come to Beijing to report on their work. Judging from the child's dress, he can be said to be from a wealthy family.

Maybe it was another official who came to Beijing with his family, but he was so dazzled as soon as he arrived that he didn't even notice that his child was lost.

Chen Xuyan looked at him innocently, "Don't you remember me?"

Xu Qie spent half a year trying to recall that he had never seen this child before. His family was poor, and even the relatives he often visited did not have children who could afford to wear this kind of satin.

Seeing that he had no reaction, Chen Xuyan looked at him as if she was about to cry, "Have you really forgotten me? But my uncle brought me to see you before!"

"Your uncle?" Xu Qie recalled frantically, and something did flash through his mind, but he really couldn't remember it.

"What's your uncle's name?"

Chen Xuyan's eyes rolled, "My uncle is Cui Xianxun!"

Xu Qie was startled and remembered that this child was held in Cui Xianxun's arms and played with him last year. At that time, he only took a quick look at the child and lowered his head.

Mr. Cui San's sister is the wife of Chen Shishi, the Minister of Rites. So, isn't this child the young master of the Chen family?

"Mr. Chen, why are you here?" Xu Qie looked around for a long time but didn't see a servant. Chen Xuyan's clothes and hair were somehow covered in a lot of mud, as if they had rolled on the ground.

Seeing that he was imagining something, Chen Xuyan tugged at his short sleeves and said, "Take me to find my uncle!"

"Look for, look for General Cui?" Xu Qie was a little undecided. Why not send him home?

Could it be that something happened at home?

"How about I take you to the Duke's Mansion?"

Chen Xuyan shook his head. "I have something important to discuss with my uncle! Please take me there."

Seeing his serious expression, Xu Qie did not dare to refuse any further. "General Cui should be in the Phnom Penh camp now. I can only take you there to ask for an audience."

"Okay!" Chen Xuyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Qie brought a horse from somewhere and said, "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry to ask you to ride with me."

He shamelessly borrowed this horse from his superior in order to take him to see General Cui as soon as possible.

......

——Phnom Penh Camp

Cui Xianxun returned to his tent after patrolling the camp as usual. "Damn it, why is my right eyelid twitching so much today?"

He didn't think too much about it, thinking that he would feel more relaxed after taking off his armor.

"General, someone wants to see you." The soldier looked a little embarrassed. He was worried that he was being cheated, but he didn't dare to hide it.

After all, he couldn't stand Cui Xianxun's bad temper.

But the child does look somewhat like Cui Xianxun, and some of the characteristics of Cui Xianxun that he described are also the same. I'm afraid he is really the general's nephew.

It seems that something really happened.

Cui Xianxun asked casually, "Who?"

Who would come looking for him at this time? If they wanted to find him, couldn't they just go to his house? He was about to be fired.

They must be some random people who want to make connections.

The soldier looked up at him and said, "It's a kid. He said he's your nephew. He said his name is Chen Xuyan."

Upon hearing this, Cui Xianxun immediately became serious. He pushed away the soldier blocking his way and walked out of the tent.

"Yan'er?" Cui Xianxun indeed saw his little nephew.

"Uncle?!" The original body's emotions took over and tears instantly flowed out, with a look of great grievance in his eyes.

"Woo, woo, woo, uncle!"

Cui Xianxun picked him up and then looked at Xu Qie, "What's going on?"

Xu Qie scratched his head awkwardly, "I met the young master at the city gate, and he asked me to bring him to see you."

Cui Xianxun gestured to the soldier behind him to give him some silver, "Got it, thank you."

He carried Chen Xuyan straight back to the camp.

He put Chen Xuyan on the table and said, "Silly boy, why are you crying? What happened?"

"Uncle, save mother! Mother is locked up! She won't let me see her! Xiaotao is also locked up! Woo woo woo, I ran out of a dog hole, and they are all trying to catch me!" He described it in childish words.

Cui Xianxun's mind worked quickly and he quickly pieced together the facts from his words.

"Chen Sishi locked up your mother and won't let you see her? You crawled out of a dog hole, and now they're trying to catch you?!"

This bastard! No wonder he wouldn't let the doctor they hired see his sister for the past two months, and he wouldn't even let them see his nephew. It turns out he was planning to kill his sister!

He suppressed his inner anger and stretched out his rough hands to wipe Chen Xuyan's tears. "Don't be afraid, Yan'er. Uncle will take you to rescue your mother, okay?"

Chen Xu stretched out his hands and hugged his neck, "Okay, save mom! Save Xiaotao!"

Cui Xianxun sent two people to deliver the message, and then found a dozen capable soldiers to follow him. After giving them some instructions, he took them back to the city.

Along the way, he was listening to Chen Xuyan talking about the Chen Mansion. The more he listened, the angrier he became. The soldiers around him, who were in disguise, also listened in silence.

——Outside the Palace

Cui Wujiu, who had just come out of the East Palace, saw the confidants around his third brother.

"Second Master, Third Master asked me to report that something happened in the Chen Mansion!"

"explain."

—Chen Mansion

"Hasn't he been found yet? What are you doing? He's just a child, how can he fly to the sky? Have you seen his figure outside the Duke's Mansion?" Chen Shishi finally began to panic.

Things have clearly gotten out of control.

"Sir, why don't we report this to the police? If the Duke's Mansion finds out, they will definitely be furious." Everyone knows that Cui Can is the only daughter of the Duke and the Duchess. Not only is she seriously ill in bed, but the young master is also missing.

Something big is about to happen!

Chen Shishi glared at him fiercely, "Don't let anyone know about this!"
