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

Xu Yan'er did not appreciate it. She complacently thought that she had caused great humiliation and harm to Ji Chuhe. Ji Chuhe had to swallow his anger and blood and pretend nothing happened.

"What I want to say is similar to what my mother said. You just need to remember what my mother said." Ji Chuhe said in a calm voice.

A hint of laughter flashed across Xu Yan'er's eyes, "Yes, Madam Crown Prince."

"He'er, I still have something to tell you, so please come back with me first." The princess stood up and called Ji Chuhe away.

Concubine Xu had a lot to say but couldn't express it, and she felt a tightness in her chest. She looked at Xu Yan'er unhappily.

"Your Highness, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first." Xu Yan'er's attitude was not as respectful as before.

She now has the prince as her backer, and she is a concubine who was brought in legitimately. If she gives birth to a son in the future, will she still need Concubine Xu?

Maybe Concubine Xu will have to beg her for help in the future!

"Look at how smug this villain is!" Concubine Xu was shaking with anger.

"Please calm down, Your Highness. She is an ungrateful person!" Nanny Wang took the opportunity to add insult to injury.

"How could I raise such a thing! She is not even as good as Dong Ling! From the looks of it, she will definitely not be willing to be used by me."

"Don't worry about it, Concubine Dowager. Xu Yan'er is nothing. Didn't the concubine give a clear response?"

……

Ji Chuhe originally wanted to accompany the princess back to Luan Palace. Just as he walked through the garden, Xiang Zhu walked over quickly.

"Greetings to the princess, the Crown Prince's wife."

"Is there anything wrong?" Ji Chuhe asked softly.

"Madam, Aunt Dong is waiting for you in Liuhua Palace. She had a quarrel with Aunt Xu this morning and was injured by her. Nanny Ji asked the palace doctor to treat her. She is unwilling to leave and said she wants to wait for you to make the decision for her."

"No one is quiet!" the princess shouted angrily.

"Mother, calm down. I will handle this matter. I will go back to Liuhua Palace first."

"Go ahead." The princess certainly believed that Ji Chuhe could handle these small matters.

As soon as Ji Chuhe returned to Liuhua Palace, Dong Ling immediately walked up to her and knelt down.

"I have met my wife in person."

"Keep your head up."

Dong Ling immediately raised her head.

Ji Chuhe saw that there were several minor wounds on her cheeks, two of which were quite deep and bleeding, and a few others had broken skin, leaving red marks. Her hair was messy and her clothes were torn in several places. She looked very miserable.

"Get up." Ji Chuhe said lightly, walked to the main seat and sat down.

Dong Ling did not stand up, but knelt down, turned around, faced Ji Chuhe, and started crying.

"Madam, please help me. I ran into Aunt Xu today. I wanted to avoid her, but she stopped me and humiliated me. I couldn't help but argue with her for a few words, and she pushed me into a bush full of thorns. She wanted to destroy my face. She is really vicious!"

Ji Chuhe looked at Nanny Ji, and Nanny Ji nodded at her, indicating that this was indeed the case.

"Madam Ji, go call Aunt Xu over." Ji Chuhe ordered in a deep voice.

At this time, Xu Yan'er also returned to Mo Garden.

"Madam Gui, you took my bloodshot to Madam this morning. Did she say anything?"

"Aunt, Madam left your menstrual discharge behind." Aunt Gui reported truthfully.

"What? Why did she keep my blood?" Xu Yan'er's face suddenly became nervous.

"I don't know either, and I dare not ask Madam."

"Madam Gui, did the Madam say anything at that time? And what was her expression?" Xu Yan'er grabbed Madam Gui's hand and asked anxiously.

"Madam didn't say anything and her expression was normal."

Xu Yan'er still didn't dare to relax.

Ji Chuhe was too scheming. If Ji Chuhe found out something, she would be finished.

Although she is innocent, she didn't bleed. She can't explain it even if she has a mouth full of mouths!

"Aunt, Madam asks you to go to Liuhua Palace." Ping'er walked over quickly to deliver the message.

"Why does Ji Chuhe want me to go to Liuhua Palace at this time!" Xu Yan'er couldn't help but get nervous again and asked Ping'er, "Why does Madam want me to go there?"

"Aunt, when you went to serve tea, didn't you have an argument with Aunt Dong? Aunt Dong went to complain."

Xu Yan'er heaved a sigh of relief, "What did I think it was? I wonder what Ji Chuhe can do to me!"

Liuhua Palace.

Ji Chuhe sat on the square couch under the window and looked at the account book.

Dong Ling sat at a table not far away, not daring to breathe, for fear of disturbing Ji Chuhe.

For some reason, Ji Chuhe was even more serious when looking at the account books than when he was venting his anger and punishing his servants, which made people feel afraid.

She still feels a little guilty.

I wonder if the lady has seen through her little tricks.

"Miss, Aunt Xu is here." Mianzhu reminded softly.

Ji Chuhe closed the account book and did not get off the bed. She just turned around. Mian Zhu immediately pushed Yin Ji over for her to lean on.

Xu Yan'er walked in and perfunctorily stepped forward to pay her respects. "Meet the Madam."

"You had an argument with Aunt Dong today and hurt her, right?" Ji Chuhe asked in a calm voice.

"Madam, you can't believe her slander. She was the one who provoked me first!" Xu Yan'er pointed at Dong Ling and retorted loudly.

"Who spoke first?" Ji Chuhe asked coldly.

"It's her!" Dong Ling immediately pointed at Xu Yan'er.

Xu Yan'er choked and said, "I was the first to speak, but she talked back, and that's when we started arguing."

"Everyone, kneel down." Ji Chuhe shouted coldly.

Dong Ling immediately knelt down. Xu Yan'er was dissatisfied but did not dare to resist.

"Madam Ji, what punishment should I receive according to the rules?"

"The one who takes the initiative to provoke will be slapped twenty times."

"beat!"

"Ji Chuhe! I know you are seeking revenge for your personal gain! You can't bear to see the prince favor me, so you just found an excuse to beat me up! Just try to touch me today!"

A servant girl had already walked up to Xu Yan'er at the instruction of Nanny Ji.

"Pa!" A slap fell, clean and sharp.

Then, the second time, the third time...

Dong Ling lowered his head, his eyes full of pride.

Finally, he got rid of his anger with the help of Ji Chuhe.

Before she could be happy for long, Nanny Ji came up to her.

Xu Yan'er had already finished giving those twenty slaps.

"Anyone who deliberately argues will be slapped ten times in the face." Nanny Ji said calmly.

Dong Ling immediately raised her head with a look of disbelief.

The slap landed on her face, making her see stars.

These ten slaps completely destroyed Dong Ling's inner complacency!

She felt that at this moment, she was like a clown in front of the lady.

"Aunt Xu, was it you who caused Aunt Dong to fall into the flowers and get injured?" Ji Chuhe asked again.

"No! I tripped her accidentally." Xu Yan'er learned her lesson this time.

If she goes head-on with Ji Chuhe, she will definitely not end up well.

"Madam, she did it on purpose! I didn't want to argue with her. I was about to leave, but she deliberately tripped me! At that time, I was in front and she was behind. If it wasn't intentional, how could she accidentally trip me?" Dong Ling quickly produced strong evidence.

Ji Chuhe turned his gaze to Xu Yan'er, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"I...I..." Xu Yan'er stammered and couldn't answer.

"Madam Ji, what is the punishment for intentionally injuring someone?" Ji Chuhe asked again.

"Mrs. Dong's injuries were relatively minor. The perpetrator was punished with five strokes of the cane."

"I want to see the prince! Ji Chuhe, you just want to hit me on purpose! I don't accept it!" Xu Yan'er stood up in an instant, "I want to see who dares to touch me!"

Ji Chuhe got off the couch and walked to Xu Yan'er, "The prince may not have time to return home right now. He is probably asking Zhao Kang for some information in the prison."
