Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

Chen Shishi took the princess's warrant and hurried to the prison to pick up the person. The princess looked very unhappy, and she must have had a bad conversation with the lady.

Under normal circumstances, he would have gone over and shown his courtesy, but the situation was unclear now. The Cui family might take action against Wang Yiru in prison at any time, so he couldn't be careless and had to rush over.

—Outside the prison

After waiting outside the prison for a stick of incense, Chen Shishi finally saw Wang Yiru coming out.

Wang Yiru, who was disheartened, immediately brightened up when she saw Chen Si, "Chen Lang!"

She stumbled into Chen Sishi's arms. The smell on her body almost made Chen Sishi vomit, but he still held back. It would be a bit cruel to push her away at this time.

I'll have to rely on her in the future.

"Chen Lang! Why didn't you come out just now? Our child is in their hands, why did you just ignore him!" As she spoke, Wang Yiru hugged him and burst into tears.

After crying for a while, she pulled Chen Sishi forward and said, "Come with me to find my mother and ask her to help rescue the child."

Chen Sishi grabbed her and said, "The child has been found, right in your house. They were just playing hide-and-seek at the instigation of the servants. How could you be so careless?"

It was hard for him not to blame Wang Yiru. She had nothing to do, didn't have to attend banquets like other noble ladies, and didn't have to attend court like him, yet she couldn't even take care of two children. Her incident at the Duke's Mansion confirmed the rumors. He had already anticipated the expressions of the censors at court tomorrow.

The only thing he could do now was to call in sick.

"I, I don't know either. I was just too hurried. You haven't sent any news for a long time. As soon as I heard that you were going to pick up Cui Can, I ran to find my mother." Wang Yiru also realized that what happened today was all due to her negligence and was set up by someone.

"Can't you use your brain before doing anything?!" Chen Shishi felt furious when she heard this. She had harmed the eldest princess. Who else in the world would be so kind to her?

The butler hurried over, "Master Chen!"

As soon as Chen Sishi saw the housekeeper, he had a bad feeling in his heart, "What's wrong?"

The housekeeper sighed, "Master Cui San brought people to take over the house and yard. He threw out all your things. He also wanted to pay back the dowry that the old lady had embezzled and hadn't yet returned. We simply couldn't afford it, so Master Cui San called the pawnshop and they pawned everything in your study, saying it was just to pay off the debt."

"He threw all the remaining things you had at the gate of the Chen Mansion."

Except for him and Chen Shishi's other attendant, all the servants in the Chen Mansion were bought by the Cui family, and these people naturally left.

He's almost there too.

"What? My things are worth more than that little money, and you sold them all?" Chen Shishi was very angry.

Wang Yiru also felt a little pained. Many of the things in it were taken from the Princess's Mansion and were worth a lot of money! She herself was reluctant to give them to her son, and gave them to Chen Sishi instead.

Is this Cui family here specifically to defeat them?

"What are you doing for a living? You should all be sold out. You can't even protect your own things!" Wang Yiru was even angrier than Chen Shishi.

The butler lowered his head silently, the contempt in his eyes well concealed.

It was just a child born out of adultery. Now, it affected the marriage between the royal family and the Li family. She wasn't sure if she could survive, and yet she was still thinking of selling herself out? He could get away with it quickly, so he just had to endure it.

"Enough, take me back to see the place." Chen Shishi stepped onto the carriage.

Wang Yiru was so frightened that she fell several times before she could climb up. She even slapped the coachman, thinking that it was his fault that she couldn't climb up.

——Li family

"Don't be sad, your grandfather loves you two the most and will definitely make the decision for you." Old Lady Li was also a little sad, but she felt much better after scolding Zhao Yanwei just now.

The evil she committed had prevented her son from becoming an official, and now the life stories of her two children were being discussed by everyone.

How would Tang'er approach her marriage in the future? Who knew if the Yan family would come to cancel the engagement? Even her grandson, who was studying at the Imperial College, didn't know how much his classmates would sneer at him.

Li Jiatang smiled bitterly and said, "I knew that mother treated her differently from her other two adopted daughters. I thought she was sympathetic to her background, but I didn't expect it was because she was also her child!"

"Wang Yiru is morally corrupt. Long before Chen Sishi and Cui Can got married, she had an affair and gave birth to a daughter. Later, she also gave birth to a son. She even conspired with Chen Sishi to murder Cui Can! Such a treacherous act, there's no guarantee that her mother didn't help her."

How could her mother keep such a scourge by her side? Even if she was her biological child, she would have to consider what she had done.

Her scandal was exposed, and her uncle the emperor was even more disgraced. This uncle, who had never been favored in his childhood, cared about face all the time. What's more, there was a sixth princess in the royal family who was eyeing her covetously.

Is my mother really willing to sacrifice her own life? My grandmother is almost dying, and now the Li family is dissatisfied with her. Who can protect her?

Madam Li nodded. "I know you're heartbroken that your mother's sincerity was misplaced, but now that things have come to this, you know her attitude. She's determined to protect that woman."

She only wanted to protect her two children, and the master would never get involved in the royal struggle.

"I've already written to your father. Your grandfather will definitely call you to him. Don't make him angry. From now on, you are just children of the Li family."

Li Jiatang nodded with tears in his eyes, "Grandma, I'm so lucky to have you!"

She hugged Mrs. Li and started crying, and the pain that had been suppressed in her heart for a while was finally vented.

Madam Li patted her back to comfort her...

——Princess's Mansion

"Your Highness, the tea is cold." Shu'er poured her another cup.

Zhao Yanwei's lips were a little dry. "Tell me, will Tang'er forgive me?"

Shu'er shook her head. "I don't know either, but I do know that now that things have come to this, you should go to the palace as soon as possible to apologize to the Emperor and calm his anger."

This matter has caused too much trouble. Today, the prince of the Duke's Mansion has returned to Beijing safely. He has made great contributions, and the emperor will definitely not do anything to disappoint his meritorious minister.

What's more, it was indeed the eldest princess who was wrong in this matter.

"Pack up and get ready. It's time for me to go to the palace to see my mother." Zhao Yanwei didn't think she did anything wrong. She was just unlucky, so she was defeated by the Cui family.

But so what? She will always be the eldest princess, and no one can hurt her in the slightest.

Right and wrong are only in the hands of those in power.
