Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

"Everyone listen to me, the rice will be delivered soon." Geng said quickly.

How dare she deny her debt? Ji Cheng did not come home all night yesterday. If news of any bad things about her spreads again, Ji Cheng might even divorce her to protect his own reputation!

Logically speaking, Yuan'er also has a guard with her, so it is impossible for her to be late.

Soon, a carriage came around the corner and Geng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Here it comes! Rice is here." She pointed at the carriage.

The manager immediately asked a few people to walk towards the carriage and prepare to carry the rice down.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Ji Qingyuan jumped out crying.

The manager lifted the curtain and saw that there was not a single bag of rice on the carriage. He turned around and shouted, "Where's the rice?"

"Mother! Shen Chengjing won't let me take rice from the shop. He said the business has just started and he can't afford the losses." Ji Qingyuan said to Geng while crying.

Geng was almost angry to death!

Can't afford the loss? Is that human language?

"Why should he? I bought the shop with my money, and I bought the goods with my money! I'm taking my goods now, what right does he have to refuse?"

"Mother, I also quarreled with him, but he said that if I insisted on having my own way, my life would be miserable!"

"He...he still has the nerve to say that life is meaningless!" Geng was so angry that she was shaking all over.

The steward walked up to Geng, picked up a large spoon and asked loudly, "Where's the rice? You didn't bring any rice. How can I explain to the people?"

"I'll arrange it right away and ensure the rice is delivered right away." Geng responded quickly.

She immediately sent someone to buy rice.

Unexpectedly, before anyone left, Shen Chengjing appeared in a horse-drawn carriage carrying a hundred kilograms of white rice.

"Mother-in-law, since you have to buy rice anyway, why not buy mine? I'll deliver it to you. It saves time and won't keep everyone waiting for too long."

"You...you bitch!" Geng pointed at Shen Chengjing and cursed.

Shen Chengjing disagreed. He just wanted to make money now.

After making enough money, he quickly left Huaiyang and went to the imperial capital.

However, if you have to wait for business to come every day and deduct the cost, how much can you make?

Anyway, he has no reputation anymore. Once a person becomes rotten, he will have no scruples.

"Mrs. Ji, I'm waiting for the rice to be cooked!" the manager urged with an unhappy look on his face.

"Okay, I'll buy it!" Geng gritted her teeth and nodded, "Boss, please carry the rice into the kitchen."

"Someone, bring some rice!" the manager ordered promptly.

Shen Chengjing immediately stood in front of the car and said, "Mother-in-law, I only pay in cash. I won't accept credit."

"You!" Geng pointed at Shen Chengjing and had to pay the money on the spot to prevent others from making fun of her.

Shen Chengjing happily weighed the silver and said, "Madam, can you let mother-in-law buy rice from our shop tomorrow? We should not let outsiders make this money."

"Shen Chengjing, are you still human?!" Ji Qingyuan shouted loudly.

"Madam, I'm also doing this for our future good life. Don't you want to leave Huaiyang?" Shen Chengjing asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Ji Qingyuan certainly wanted to leave Huaiyang.

She no longer has a place to stand in Huaiyang!

The arrogance was immediately extinguished.

Seeing her daughter's useless appearance, Geng wanted to beat her to death!

What kind of magic potion did Shen Chengjing give her to make her fall in love with him?

"I will personally deliver the rice tomorrow morning." Shen Chengjing said, turned and left.

Ji Qingyuan didn't dare to look at Geng's expression.

When the mother and daughter stood together to give alms, Geng looked as if she wanted to hit Ji Qingyuan to death with a spoon.

When this matter reached Ji Chuhe, Ji Chuhe had just met all the shop owners under her name in a teahouse outside and made a profit of more than three hundred taels of silver.

"Miss, this is really making me laugh! Geng Shi is really an ungrateful person when she meets someone like Shen Chengjing! He's still trying to get her money at this time."

Ji Chuhe simply couldn't imagine what Shen Chengjing's expression was like at that time.

Where did the noble attitude of looking down on money in the previous life go? The way he eats is too ugly.

Are you crazy about money?

A hint of doubt flashed through Ji Chuhe's mind.

Based on her understanding of Shen Chengjing, he is a person who cares most about his reputation. It is impossible for him to do anything to make money to this extent, unless there is another reason.

"Chunsheng." Ji Chuhe called softly.

"Madam." Chunsheng immediately came to Ji Chuhe.

"From today on, you will keep an eye on Shen Chengjing's shop. I want to know what the situation is with his shop."

"Yes, ma'am."

Chunsheng used to be a wandering man. He was smart and had some martial arts skills, but it was a waste of his talent to be a small steward in the palace.

Although Chu He had no interactions with Chun Sheng in the previous century, in this life she was prepared to entrust Chun Sheng with important tasks and regarded him as her confidant.

This time, let him keep an eye on Shen Chengjing's shop to see how efficient he is.

Apart from the shop given by the princess, which she didn't have to worry about and had a steady income, she had not yet managed her own shop well.

Moreover, she also wanted to build some property and even run a caravan.

Chunsheng will have a lot of responsibilities in the future.

It is true that money makes the world go round.

No one would complain about having too much money, and the same goes for her.

Ji Chuhe has never been stingy with her servants. In her eyes, those who she employs are those she trusts, and those who she doubts are not employed.

During these few days, through observation, she promoted a maid to the first rank, renamed her Xiangzhu, and had her trained by Mianzhu herself. Another servant, Nanny Ji, was also being adjusted at any time. Liuhua Palace gradually became her territory and was firmly under her control.

Next, she also needs to train some people and spread them throughout the palace to serve her.

She has now established herself firmly in the palace, and the process has been smoother than she had imagined.

"Madam, the prince sent someone to invite you to the government office." Xiang Zhu walked in and reported to Ji Chuhe.

"It should be about the six strategies for military service." Ji Chuhe did not delay and went to the government office immediately.

In addition to the prince, seven county governors were also present in the government office, as well as several soldiers in armor. They were discussing something around a sand table.

"Father." Ji Chuhe called softly.

"He'er is here!" The prince turned around immediately, and his eyes softened when he saw Ji Chuhe. "We are discussing the situation in Yunze Mountain. Just as He'er said, Yunze Mountain has fertile soil and abundant water resources. As long as we open up the wasteland, we can cultivate it. How did He'er know that Yunze Mountain has such fertile land?"

"Replying to Father, I bought herbs from an old lady before. She said she picked them in Yunze Mountain. I think they are better than those carefully grown in the medicinal fields. I think Yunze Mountain must have fertile soil and can grow herbs, so there should be no problem in farming."

"He'er is so smart!" The prince praised loudly, "Having a talented girl like He'er in Huaiyang is not only a blessing for my father, but also a blessing for the people."

"Thank you for the praise, father." Ji Chuhe happily accepted the praise.

Ji Cheng, who was standing by, couldn't tell how he felt.

Why didn't he realize that Ji Chuhe was so smart before?

When Ji Chuhe came in, he didn't even glance at his biological father.

She didn't really want to break up with him, did she?

"Everyone, come and sit down." The prince walked to the long table at the side.

Everyone followed suit.

"He'er is sitting next to father." The prince pointed to a seat nearby.

Ji Chuhe sat down generously.

She must accept the face given by the prince.

The prince did not despise her because she was a woman, and gave her absolute respect and trust! She was allowed to participate directly in such important meetings, which was completely different from the meaning of the princess giving her power in the harem.

"Pip--ah!" Suddenly, a soul-stirring groan of pain was heard.
