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

"Didn't she just break a jar of wine? Do you want to beat her to death?" He turned and questioned Xu Dayong.

"Cousin Prince, you don't know the situation. She is clumsy and can't do anything right! This jar of wine is worth five taels of silver, and it's not the first time she has broken it. Our Xu family can't afford to support her. She not only doesn't have the life of a young lady, but she also has the disease of a young lady. She won't learn her lesson unless she is beaten!" Xu Dayong answered with confidence.

"Brother, am I unable to do anything? How much have I contributed to the Xu family over the years? How much money have you taken from me? Have you forgotten all that?" Xu Yan'er retorted loudly.

"You dare to talk back!" Xu Dayong was about to attack again.

Xiao Yanan pushed Xu Taiyong directly, "Just try and see if you dare to touch her again!"

Xu Yan'er hugged Xiao Yan'an's legs and cried for help: "Prince, save me."

Ji Chuhe sat in the carriage and watched this scene, feeling helpless.

Sure enough, it was not so easy to get rid of Xu Yan'er.

Even if the matter with Zhao Kang was revealed, Xiao Yanan had her in his heart and it was impossible for him to ignore her.

As long as she appears in front of Xiao Yan'an, she will have an impact on Xiao Yan'an.

"It's just five taels of silver, I'll compensate you!" Xiao Yan'an felt around and found that he didn't have a purse with him.

He turned and looked in the direction of the carriage and called out, "Tianxi, come here!"

Tianxi trotted over and said, "Prince, what do you want me to do?"

"Give him five taels of silver!"

Tianxi held the purse with an embarrassed look on his face, "Sir, there is not enough money. There are at most two taels of silver in here."

Xiao Yan'an's face froze and he looked in the direction of Ji Chuhe.

Ji Chuhe whispered to Mianzhu, "Go and give the prince five taels of silver."

"Miss!" Mianzhu was unwilling and had a bitter face.

"Go quickly, don't let the prince lose face." Ji Chuhe urged.

Mianzhu had no choice but to walk in that direction and took out the silver from his purse and handed it over.

"I've compensated you with the silver, now go away!"

"Sir, you can control her for a while, but not for the rest of her life. My parents are planning to let her marry Mr. Song, the owner of the largest grain store in Huaiyang, as a concubine. Mr. Song has sent people to my house several times, but she refuses to agree. However, even if she disagrees, as long as my parents agree, she will still become Mr. Song's concubine."

"Such nonsense, get out of here!" Xiao Yan'an shouted impatiently.

Xu Dayong glared at Xu Yan'er before leaving.

Xu Yan'er leaned in Xiao Yan'an's arms, completely ignoring the gazes around her. Xiao Yan'an didn't seem to think of keeping a distance from her.

When he looked up, he found that there were people gathered around to watch the fun. Xiao Yan'an pulled Xu Yan'er towards the carriage.

"Get in the car first."

Xu Yan'er got on the carriage excitedly, and when she looked at Ji Chuhe, her eyes were full of pride and provocation.

Ji Chuhe moved to the side and occupied one side alone.

Mianzhu ran over and stamped his feet in anger.

The prince is too shameless!

How could Xu Yan'er be allowed to get on the young lady's carriage!

Xiao Yan'an also got on the carriage, and as soon as he sat down, his face twisted in pain.

"Prince, what's wrong with you?" Xu Yan'er immediately asked with concern.

"It's okay, I was just beaten by your father." Xiao Yan'an waved his hand indifferently.

"Is it because of Yan'er?" Xu Yan'er started crying again.

"It's not because of you, don't think too much about it."

Ji Chuhe watched this scene and it was just like watching a play in a theater, except without the tea and snacks.

Finally, Xiao Yan'an woke up.

"Why didn't you go find Zhao Kang?" he asked angrily, and pushed Xu Yan'er to distance themselves from each other.

"Ah." Xu Yan'er suddenly cried out in pain.

Without waiting for Xiao Yan'an to speak, she rolled up her sleeves to show Xiao Yan'an the bruises on her arms.

Xiao Yan'an's eyes darkened, "Why are there so many injuries? Were they all caused by your brother?"

"My parents beat me. I didn't have money to give them, so they beat me." Xu Yan'er's tears fell like beads from a broken string.

"How is that possible!" Xiao Yan'an was full of doubts.

He was no longer so convinced of Xu Yan'er's words.

"Your Highness, you don't know what kind of life I have been leading these years. My parents thought that since I was raised in the palace, they could take advantage of me and asked me for money all day long."

"They said, 'Whose daughter can help her parents with so much work at home? Whose daughter can earn so much money to give to her parents? I am not filial at all. I can't show my filial piety to them, so I have to give them money! It is a great blessing for me to be raised in the palace! How can I ask the Concubine for money to give to my parents?"

"But my parents don't care about that. They only care about money. If I don't find a way to give them money, they're going to ask the Concubine Dowager to ask me to go back to the Xu family and help them make money! I don't want to leave the palace, and I don't want to leave the prince, so I can only find a way on my own!"

"So, you went to find Zhao Kang? Why didn't you tell me that you needed money? Why didn't I be the first person you thought of when you encountered difficulties?"

"I don't want the prince to see such an unbearable side of me. I was born in a humble family and am not worthy of the prince at all. If the prince knew all this, how would I have the face to face him!" Xu Yan'er's tears flowed out again.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll find out about your affair with Zhao Kang?"

"I didn't! Prince, I didn't do anything dirty with Zhao Kang, I just wanted to cheat him out of his money!"

Faced with Xu Yan'er's honesty, Xiao Yan'an suddenly didn't know how to respond.

"My Lord, you are of noble status, and have been living a life of luxury since birth. You have never known how difficult life is for people of humble origins like us, and you have never experienced the pain of being penniless. I was raised in the palace, and although I have no worries about food and drink, I don't have a penny. Even the maids in the palace have a monthly salary, but I have nothing."

"My parents asked me to give them ten taels of silver every month! Later on, they wanted to open a shop and marry my brother off. I had to pay for all this money. I had no other choice but to turn to Zhao Kang."

"Zhao Kang had been having sexual thoughts about me for a long time. My anklet fell off and he picked it up. He asked me out on the pretext of returning my anklet, but when we met he didn't want to return it. I also disliked things that he had touched, so I asked him to buy it, and he readily agreed."

"After I got the first sum of money and gave it to my parents, they became even more aggressive. I could only keep selling things to Zhao Kang in exchange for money. However, later on, he would not buy whatever I gave him. He would specify the things. If I didn't specify the things for him, he would not buy them. That's why I got those personal things."

"You..." Xiao Yan'an didn't know what to say.

He turned around and found that Ji Chuhe was listening attentively, which made him feel even worse.

"Prince, I know I was wrong. Can you forgive me this time?" Xu Yan'er pulled Xiao Yan'an's hand and acted coquettishly.
