Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

——The next day, at the Princess's Mansion

Zhao Yanwei was reading a book, circling notes from time to time. She didn't know when her youngest daughter Li Jiatang entered the greenhouse.

"Mother." Li Jiatang shouted happily, and then took the book from her hand.

The servant following her brought a pot of yellow peonies. "Mother, I found these flowers especially for you. Do you like them?"

Zhao Yan smiled and said, "Instead of doing your needlework, you just hang out outside? Where did you buy these flowers?"

It is really rare to see yellow peonies at this time of year. Even though she is used to seeing good things, she couldn't help but be dazzled.

"Mingzhen asked her brother to find it for me. I heard that the gardener's family has been growing peonies in Luoyang for hundreds of years. These flowers were grown by their family. I also hired someone to take care of the peonies in our house!" It's not just my mother who loves flowers; she loves flowers too.

"You kid, you're already bossing Yan Mingwu around before you even marry into the Yan family? You're so shameless." The Yan family was a large family, no less powerful than the Li family. All the men in the family were excellent, and only those under 30 and childless could take concubines. This generation's Yan Mingwu was even more outstanding, and the room was very clean.

A perfect match for her daughter.

Li Jiatang laughed sweetly, "Mom, you're talking nonsense."

"But even though Yan Mingwu doesn't like to talk, I don't know why he always finds something I love."

If only he would talk more.

Zhao Yanwei asked the maid to find a place to place the yellow peony. "When your father comes back, our two families will also have to exchange engagement letters. Your marriage should be put on the agenda."

Li Jiatang started to panic when he heard this, "Mom, I just came of age not long ago, I don't want to get married so early."

She also wanted to stay at home and spend more time with her father and mother and didn't want to get married so early.

"How is it early? I have prepared your wedding dress and dowry long ago, and your father has also discussed it with the Yan family. I think it's time to marry off this little rascal like you." It is indeed not right for a girl to be raised so indulgently.

She was spoiled by her father.

Not as sensible as Ru'er at all.

"I'm not going to tell you!" Li Jiatang put down her book and ran out.

Zhao Yanwei shook her head helplessly. "Look at her. Every time I talk about this, she runs away. She's really not sensible at all."

"I don't know what happened to the rules I learned from the Empress Dowager in my early years."

"If it were Ruer." She stopped herself just as she was about to say that. Shuer's eyes made her restrain herself.

"Princess, you shouldn't say these things. Jiatang is the legitimate daughter of a prominent family. How can Miss Ru compare to her?" Shu'er reminded.

If these words were heard by others, who knows what kind of waves they would cause.

Zhao Yanwei smiled self-deprecatingly, "You're right, I forgot this time."

I can't go on any further.

"Did you just say Ru'er has arrived?" Her expression clearly showed that she was very concerned.

Shu'er replied, "Yes, he said he wanted to see you about something important, but because the young lady returned home, he was delayed for a while."

Zhao Yanwei closed the book and asked, "Bring her over here?"

"This? The young lady is still at home. It would be bad if she came over suddenly." Shu'er obviously didn't want her to meet Wang Yiru often.

Zhao Yan frowned slightly and said, "Since I have already adopted her as my adopted daughter in front of everyone, what's wrong with her visiting me often? On the contrary, her cold attitude will arouse suspicion."

Seeing her determined expression, Shu'er couldn't stop her any further, "Yes."

After a while.

"Mom!" Wang Yiru looked at her with tears in her eyes, as if she wanted to hug her.

But Shu'er stopped her, "Young lady, be careful with your words! The princess is only your adoptive mother, how can you be so out of control?"

She really didn't take the things that Mammy taught her to heart at all.

Mud can't support the wall.

This state of mind will sooner or later harm the princess.

Wang Yiru then remembered to salute, "Aunt, I saw my stepmother and for a moment I couldn't help but forget to salute."

"Okay, what's the big deal?" Zhao Yan waved at her.

Seeing this, Wang Yiru ran past Shu'er to Zhao Yanwei, squatted down and hugged her, looking at her with a dependent look.

"Mom, I miss you so much."

Zhao Yanwei also felt a little guilty, "Mother misses you the same way."

"What's the big deal? Why are you rushing here? What happened to Mingzhu and Xu'er?"

Wang Yiru shook her head bitterly and told the story of Chen Shishi in a very aggrieved manner.

After hearing the whole story, Zhao Yanwei couldn't help but feel a little nervous. "Chen Sishi is not a good man. Let him go. I will find a good match for you and make you happy for the rest of your life. You don't have to look for someone from a wealthy family. In such a family, you will be fighting endlessly and have to endure a lot of anger. Someone like Chen Sishi won't work either. He can only rely on you. When you are no longer useful, he will find someone else!"

She has seen too many things like this, and she sincerely hopes that Wang Yiru can be happy.

"Mother, Chen Lang definitely won't do that! We have known each other since we were young. If the Cui family hadn't forced him to marry Cui Can, he would definitely marry me! Besides, we have two children. If it were someone else, who would truly treat a child who is not their own?" Wang Yiru looked at her pleadingly.

Seeing that Zhao Yanwei was still hesitant, she quickly said, "Mom! I beg you. I don't want anyone else, and I don't ask for wealth and glory. I just want to be with him! I'm willing to do anything you ask me to do!"

Others thought that her behavior was vulgar and unpresentable, and she even couldn't understand what they said, but Chen Shishi was different. He felt that he was the best woman in the world because he was gentle, considerate, and good at managing the household.

She will only be happy if she is with someone like him.

Besides, she had been tortured by that farming couple for so many years since she was born. Shouldn't she compensate herself well?

Looking at her two children, Li Jingchuo and Li Jiatang, who were raised as precious treasures, free to enter and leave the palace, and admired by the children of aristocratic families, it can be seen that Zhao Yanwei devoted herself to them. On the other hand, looking at herself, who was clearly her biological daughter born in her early years, and had suffered so much, not only could she not be recognized as her daughter in a legitimate way, but could only be recognized as an adopted daughter, and even was not allowed to marry into a wealthy family, it could be seen that she actually looked down on her.

If that's the case, then why can't you help me and let her marry the man she loves? And also let the two children not suffer? Have a home but can't return?

Zhao Yanwei closed his eyes and said, "Okay, I'll help you this time, but if it doesn't work, you should give up completely."

"I'll do it for you again."

She was born into a royal family and thought she was above everyone else. Now that the Cui family stood in her way, she should naturally bow down to her...
