Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

Wang Yiru knelt at the entrance of the Shunguo Mansion and kowtowed in despair. She had just been slapped hard by Li Jiatang at the Princess's Mansion, and the old lady had humiliated her mercilessly. While the Duke's wife was arguing with the Princess, Shu'er told her to leave the Princess's Mansion immediately.

But she had no intention of helping her send someone to find the two children, and her mother had no time to tell her.

She had no choice but to return home and hesitated for a long time. Finally, she went to Chen's house to find Chen Si in person. He would definitely not sit idly by and watch his two flesh and blood.

But unexpectedly, Chen Shishi was not at home either. He actually went to the Shunguo Mansion to pick up the bitch Cui Can and her son.

How could she remain calm? Her mother couldn't let go of her reputation and accept her, and now even Chen Sishi had given up on her for his official career and chosen Cui Can! He had clearly promised her that he would accept her into his family as soon as Cui Can died, but now he had completely forgotten!

She had lost everything except her two children, who must have been abducted by the Cui family! Since they knew about her and Chen Sishi, they probably also knew that she was Zhao Yanwei's daughter. It was she who asked Chen Sishi to poison Cui Can. The Cui family must want revenge for Cui Can.

But since they couldn't arrest Chen Sishi and me to vent their anger, they could only use her two children, who couldn't be mentioned in public, to make a fuss! What a vicious plot!

Wang Yiru knelt at the gate of the Shunguo Mansion and kowtowed repeatedly, "I beg the Shunguo Mansion to release my innocent children. I promise I will never compete with Miss Cui for Master Chen!"

She had no other choice. If she delayed any longer, the two children might be killed by them. She could only ask the Cui family for their return.

More and more people gathered at the door.

"Is it true that Lord Chen has a concubine? I heard that one of his daughters is older than Lord Chen and Miss Cui were married, which shows that they have been having an affair long before they got married." It was already evening, and many people had nothing to do and were anxious to go home for dinner.

The street is bustling with people, those leaving work or returning to the city inevitably stop to watch the fun.

"Who says it's not? The strange poison from the Western Regions in Miss Cui Si might have been the work of this adulterous couple. Chen Shishi is just a son from a poor family. I heard that he was kicked out by the Chen family a long time ago and then set up his own family. He can get to where he is today thanks to the Cui family, but he is eating what he has in his mouth but keeping his eyes on the pot. He actually wants to bring this concubine back to be his wife." The person who spoke sneered.

The slightly younger woman asked, "Isn't Miss Cui Si his legal wife? How could he make this woman his legal wife?"

A middle-aged woman carrying a basket of vegetables looked her over. "You've only just gotten married, haven't you? You can't even think of this? Since he poisoned Miss Cui Si, he must have been planning to kill her before marrying her into his family."

She signaled with her eyes to Wang Yiru who was kneeling and kowtowing in front of her.

Wang Yiru suddenly turned around and glanced at them, "You are talking nonsense!"

The middle-aged woman who was scolded was not afraid at all. She even spat at her fiercely, "Bah! I think I was right. You are so angry."

Some of the people around her couldn't bear to see her bullying others like this.

"You shrew, why do you always listen to rumors? You don't even know the whole story, yet you are here to frame others?" The man who spoke spoke in a literary tone, and it was obvious that he was a scholar. Just from the washed-out clothes on his body, one could tell that he had been unsuccessful many times.

The woman looked him up and down. "You sour scholar, are you attracted to her? Are you trying to imitate the princes and nobles in the storybooks and save the beautiful girl? I don't think you have any money left in you."

"You still have the nerve to call me a shrew? I ****."

Hearing such disgusting words, the man's face turned ugly. "I won't bother with you."

After saying this, he ran away as if fleeing from disaster. He didn't dare to confront such a person head-on. He still had to take part in the scientific examination and must not cause trouble.

Although Wang Yiru didn't speak again, the hatred in her eyes never dissipated.

The middle-aged woman's anger hadn't dissipated. How dare she look at him like that? It seemed that if he didn't give her a good beating today, she would definitely take revenge in the future.

She thought of the news she had heard in the embroidery room at noon.

"Why are you glaring at me? You're your mother's son of adultery, and these two children you gave birth to are also sons of adultery just like you!"

"What does it mean? I don't quite understand what it means." The people around started to make a fuss.

The woman quickly hugged her vegetable basket tightly and said as she ran, "She is the eldest princess's adopted daughter!"

The people around were in an uproar. Wang Yiru's last secret was completely revealed, and the people from the Cui family standing in the crowd were completely useless.

I don’t know if it’s God’s will.

This was truly a scandalous event. The eldest princess' adopted daughter had been the product of adultery and had given birth to a child. Didn't that mean Li Jia Silang was cuckolded? The royal family's lively atmosphere was not something ordinary people could witness. Everyone quickly dropped the topic and instead carefully observed Wang Yiru's features, as if trying to memorize them.

Wang Yiru didn't expect that not only did she fail to rescue the two children, but she also lost herself.

——Front Hall of Shunguo Mansion

Chen Sishi could no longer sit still after hearing what happened at the door. "This matter has implicated the entire royal family. You are really going too far! If the Emperor and the Empress Dowager knew about this, they would definitely not let it go!"

Cui Xianxun sneered. The eldest princess had even reached out to their Shunguo Mansion to take his sister's life, and they just told the truth of the matter and did nothing extra.

Do they deserve to just stand there and get beaten?

"This isn't something you should worry about. You should worry about yourself. If you don't agree to divorce my sister, my father will give the evidence that the eldest princess is plotting to murder my sister in the Cui family to the emperor. The emperor will naturally not let this old minister down. The eldest princess is a member of the royal family, so naturally there won't be any big trouble."

Cui Wujiu chuckled, "Then who do you think will be the one to be beheaded in public?"

Chen Sishi pointed at them in disbelief, "Chen Xuyan is my son. If you force me to death, he won't be able to survive."

Hearing this, Cui Can seemed to see through this man. "Letting him go back with you is the same as death. I am willing to send you off!"

Chen Shishi was completely defeated.

This woman didn't even care about her own son's life.

She has gone completely crazy.

"You! You crazy woman! How could you!"

"Is Yan'er afraid?" Cui Can looked at his son in his arms.

Chen Xuyan shook his head. "I'm not afraid. What's so scary about death? I'll be reborn as your child in the future."
