Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

Madam Wang's death undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the Wang family. Although they had long lost respect in the eyes of the aristocratic families, what they had lost now was far more than just respect. They had also lost their dignity.

A woman from a prominent family was first brutally beaten by her husband, then her son and servants didn't even bother to call a doctor. Finally, her long-dead body was discovered by a maid while cleaning. This was a story that would have been outrageous to anyone who heard it. Even if the Wang family had wanted to stop it, they couldn't. This was truly atrocious. The Wang family's treatment of their servants was truly not good.

At this time, the Wang family was also in chaos.

The head of the Wang family never thought that his son really didn't care about her life or death, and the servants under him all obeyed his orders tremblingly. He didn't know whether to say that his son was too ruthless or to be worried that none of the servants around Madam Wang were sincere to her.

The two sons were also a little scared. Their marriages had not yet been decided. If they were to have a reputation of being unfilial, it would be difficult for them to inherit the family business or get married and have children. In other words, no family of equal status would even look upon them.

The Wang family held a high-profile funeral to let everyone know how much they valued Madam Wang. They only talked about their appreciation after she died, and the people they sent were all "invisible people" who were not valued by the family. Everyone used this method to express their disdain for the Wang family.

The Wang family knew this, but they dared not express their usual contempt for these people. If they treated them poorly, the emperor would not let them off easily. His only chance was to regain the trust of the other major families. Otherwise, the Wang family would face certain death.

"Father said that I am not allowed to go, so why force me, mother?" Chen Xusheng was now naturally glad that his cousins looked down on him on a daily basis, otherwise he would be doomed if he were also accused of such a serious crime.

Wang Chufen felt that this was the perfect opportunity. Having previously failed to secure an engagement with the Wang family, she saw this as a good opportunity. However, she naturally didn't dare to act directly. Instead, she sent her son to the Wang family to attend the funeral. On the one hand, this was to test Chen Xingjian's attitude and pave the way for the engagement. On the other hand, she wanted to make her position clear to her brother, proving that she wasn't as heartless and ungrateful as outsiders.

"What do you know? The Wang family is in decline now. If you go there, it will make them look at you with a higher regard. When the Wang family becomes powerful, you can seize the opportunity." Wang Chufen said this with great confidence. It was obvious that this was her true thought.

Chen Xusheng was now incredibly clear-headed. "Mother, please wake up! The whole world knows about their shameful deeds. Not only are they wickedly ambitious, they're also disloyal and unfilial. They're nothing but a bunch of petty thieves. What we need to do now is to quickly draw a clear line between ourselves and them, to avoid being falsely accused in the future."

Wang Chufen looked at him with disappointment, "That's your maternal grandfather's house. Your grandfather was so kind to you when you were a child."

Chen Xusheng waved his hands helplessly. "He treats every grandchild like this. He's just teasing you for fun. Has he ever taken advantage of you? When they were in power, did they ever care about you at all?"

Wang Chufen became more and more excited as she talked, and naturally wanted to drag him to go to the Wang family with her, but Chen Xusheng opened the door and ran away.

Wang Chufen still went, and the old lady and Chen Xingjian got the news first.

"Mother, I intend to promote Fan to be my second wife." Chen Xingjian said.

The old lady nodded and said, "That's exactly what should be done. Xiao Yan is already grown up now. He will have to marry and have children in the future. His status as a concubine's child may be a hindrance."

She is already old and may not see Chen Xuyan marry and have children, but she cannot let her daughter-in-law affect the future of the Chen family. The Chen family does not need a mistress who always puts the Wang family first.

"She is sincere towards the Wang family, but she doesn't know that this will only harm her own children, not to mention her eldest daughter who should have been married off long ago." It's really stupid.

In order to prevent the wedding of Chen Xuyan and Jiang Yihuan from being postponed, she had actually hired a killer to kill her. Now, she was desperately trying to push her daughter into the fire pit and even wanted to drag her innocent young son into it. Fortunately, Chen Xusheng ran away quickly, otherwise, this old woman would have taken her down with her even if it meant death.

"Don't worry, how could I let you risk your life with such a worthless person. Her going there will make the Wang family feel at ease, so that we won't alert the enemy when we take action." Seeing that the Wang family had done so many shameful things, the remaining major families could no longer bear it and were persuaded by him.

It's only now that the Wang family has encountered such a big scandal. I'm afraid the whole family will be in trouble. It's time to draw a clear line.

Chen Xuyan met with Cui Lingxue, and the two chatted for a long time. No one knew what they talked about, but after that, Cui Lingxue slowly began to withdraw the people around Jiang Yihuan. It wasn't really a withdrawal, but rather a gradual replacement of these people, little by little, with some people with lower combat power.

Jiang Yihuan didn't notice anything unusual at all and was still looking for opportunities slowly, but Chen Xusheng seemed to be nailed to the Chen Mansion and never left.

Chen Xusheng was also helpless about this matter. His uncle and several cousins kept asking him to meet, but he was sure that he would not do anything to let the Chen family down. Although his mother no longer dared to persuade him, she was surrounded by the old lady's people. She was fine when she went out, but as soon as she returned home, these people followed her all the time.

"It's really a ghost that won't go away." She was punished by the old lady twice and never dared to urge Chen Xusheng to go to Wang's house again.

The system also began to get a little anxious. Is it possible to break the deadlock only by entering the Chen family?

"That Xie Baiyu is simply unromantic. He is obsessed with selling his calligraphy and paintings to me. Whatever free time he has, he either stays at home or is inseparable from Chen Xuyan. Anyway, I dare not get close to Chen Xuyan. I always feel that he dislikes me." He looks at me as if I were looking at something very dirty.

"Su Xiu has already left the Medical Immortal Valley. Do you want to go and capture him?"

Jiang Yihuan shook her head frantically, "I don't want to have anything to do with people in the underworld again in my life." It was not until recently that she found out that the Lu family had been hunting her, but the system never told her. It was the Cui family's secret guard who told her this.

It was almost dying several times, but it didn't care about its own life or death at all.

The system's tone also turned serious. "You haven't gained any key person's luck points in such a long time. You can't afford many things in the mall. If you continue like this, you will be of no use."

Jiang Yihuan was a little alert, "What do you mean by that?"

"I want to take over your body."
