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

"This has nothing to do with whether the person they beat is the second son of the palace! When executing the sentence, let the people know that anyone who violates the peace of the people will not be tolerated! Kill one if there is one, and kill two if there are two! The evildoers have been dealt with, and the people's hearts have been won. The prince has killed two birds with one stone."

Ji Chuhe didn't want to say too much at the moment. He adopted the approach of "blocking the water with earth and fighting the enemy with generals" and took one step at a time and waited and see.

If her suspicions were correct.

This was a plot set up by Concubine Gao, and then there will be criticisms of Xiao Yanan.

It's good to say that Xiao Yan'an is mediocre and incompetent, but I'm afraid that he will lose the support of the people because of this matter. Once the people think that he is a waste who is incapable of handling important tasks and only cares about love, it will be difficult to change their impression of him in the future.

In the future, he will have to take over the fiefdom of Huaiyang. If he is not popular among the people, it will be strange for him to sit firmly on the throne!

Concubine Gao was different from other concubines.

She and her son are listed in the royal family genealogy!

It is because there is Xiao Yan'an, the legitimate son. If there is no legitimate son, the title will belong to the second son Xiao Jincheng!

Ji Chuhe would not take the initiative to harm others, but she would assume the worst of human nature.

Although Xiao Yan'an had his own ideas, he still followed Ji Chuhe's advice on this matter.

He also hopes to stop this unhealthy trend as soon as possible.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Seeing that Xiao Yan'an followed her advice, Ji Chuhe's mood eased a little.

She was also willing to say more and handle things more satisfactorily.

"Sir, when we go to the government office tomorrow, we will conduct an open trial so that the people can watch the entire process. After the conviction, we will make certain compensation to the victims during this time. This must be done in the name of the prince personally."

Everything else was easy to deal with, but when it came to compensation, Xiao Yan'an was in a dilemma.

He only had ten taels of silver every month, but he was not a spoiled person. It was enough for him in the past, and he even had some surplus every month. He also saved a considerable amount of money in his own treasury.

However, he had spent all his personal savings to marry Xu Yan'er, and had to wait until the beginning of the next month to receive his monthly salary so that he would have money to spend.

"Can I... withdraw next month's salary in advance?" Xiao Yan'an asked embarrassedly.

Ji Chuhe was stunned for a moment before she realized that Xiao Yan'an didn't have much monthly salary, and he had spent all his fortune on Xu Yan'er.

"Okay." She nodded.

"Thank you." Xiao Yan'an thanked softly.

"You still owe me five taels last time. Pay me back when you have some free time." Ji Chuhe said lightly.

Xiao Yan'an choked and was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

This is the first time in my life that someone has asked me to pay a debt.

The key person is his wife.

Nanny Ji and Mianzhu walked in, "My Lord, please clean up the side hall."

Xiao Yan'an immediately got up and left, as if there was some man-eating beast here with Ji Chuhe.

"Mianzhu, open the window and get some fresh air." Ji Chuhe whispered.

Mianzhu immediately opened the window, and a breeze carrying fresh air blew into the house. Ji Chuhe then took a long breath.

“Miss, the princess asked the prince to move back to Liuhua Palace because she hopes you can get pregnant with his legitimate son as soon as possible and not let that Xu Yan’er get there first.” Nanny Ji still didn’t give up and wanted to persuade her again.

"Mammy, I will never be able to have a child with Xiao Yan'an in this lifetime. I can't get over that hurdle." Ji Chuhe responded coldly.

"I know that the young lady doesn't like the prince. This kind of thing can be overcome by just enduring it. As long as the young lady gets pregnant, she can drive the prince out openly. If we are luckier and give birth to a boy, we won't have to deal with the prince anymore in our lives." Nanny Ji analyzed it clearly.

Ji Chuhe laughed angrily, "Mammy, there is still a long way to go in life. This is just the beginning. It is not yet to the point where I am forced to do this. I don't want to put myself in a difficult position now."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Nanny Ji sighed and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, young lady. It's really not the time to put yourself in a difficult position yet."

Some people are happy and some are sad about the princess's decision.

The ones who were worried were Ji Chuhe and Xu Yaner.

The person who is happy is Dong Ling.

As if luck had fallen from the sky, she was allocated five days.

For these five days, the prince will spend the night in her yard!

There is finally hope!

So, the three of them counted their days, each feeling extremely tormented.

……

The next morning, Xiao Yan'an went to the government office early.

Ji Chuhe didn't sleep well that night.

In the dream, she dreamed of the treasure she had lost.

Although the little boy is only seven years old, he is so well-behaved and sensible.

"Mother, mother, mother," he called her in a childish voice.

When Ji Chuhe woke up, her pillow was soaked with tears and her heart ached.

At this moment, she seemed to have returned to the time when she had just lost You'er. The despair and grief overwhelmed her, piercing through her flesh and blood like vines, growing wildly in her body, growing into thorns, and piercing every inch of her bones and blood!

She held the cold, stiff body that had been pulled out of the river, and almost died with him.

"You'er, are you worried that your mother will give birth to other children? No, not at all. In this life, your mother only has you as her treasure, and she will not have any other children." Ji Chuhe hugged the quilt and closed her eyes.

At this moment, her mind was imagining that her baby was in her arms.

Nanny Ji was a little worried and knocked on the door gently.

"Miss, are you awake?"

"You're awake. No need to come in to serve you. Go prepare the meal." Ji Chuhe ordered.

Aunt Ji heard Ji Chuhe's voice full of tears, and her heart suddenly felt like it was being strangled! She ignored her status and Ji Chuhe's instructions and pushed the door open and walked in.

"Miss, are you crying?"

Ji Chuhe was stunned for a moment and quickly wiped the tears from her face.

"Miss, are you crying because you don't want to have a child with the prince?"

Ji Chuhe nodded. That was pretty much what he meant.

Nanny Ji hugged Ji Chuhe in her arms, just like when they were little.

"I'm sorry, Miss. I was wrong. I shouldn't have said those words. Don't put yourself in a difficult position. If you don't like the prince, don't have a child with him! Whoever wants to have the child can have it. Don't cry anymore. Your crying is breaking Madam's heart."

"Mammy, hold me for a while." Ji Chuhe snuggled in Mammy Ji's arms like a baby.

Nanny Ji hugged her tightly and said nothing more.

……

After Xiao Yan'an arrived at the government office, he first learned about the specific situation of yesterday.

I didn’t expect that this matter has become known to everyone!

Only now did he carefully figure out Ji Chuhe's intention, and after putting all of it together, he admired Ji Chuhe's intelligence even more.

Each of her moves is like a chess game.

Take one step and look three steps ahead, every move is so meticulous.

At the beginning, she reminded him that once the evildoers were caught, the punishment would be increased.

Even if the leader is really sentenced to death this time, it will not seem abrupt.

If there had been no previous preparation, and if these people were suddenly sentenced to heavy penalties, the people would definitely think that they were sentenced heavily because they injured the second son of the palace, which would give people something to criticize.
