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

Xiao Yan'an ordered people to spread the news that this time the case would be tried in public.

And they try to downplay the beating of the second young master, and instead focus on the case itself and the woman who was bullied.

This immediately aroused public indignation.

After verifying all the evidence, these people confessed to their crimes.

Xiao Yan'an slowly stood up and announced the verdict in front of all the people.

At this moment, Xiao Yan'an was like a different person. He was wearing armor and looked very heroic. Standing among the crowd, he had a visual impact of standing out like a crane among chickens.

"Military service reform is a good thing that benefits the people. The reform process will definitely involve the interests of some people. For example, these soldiers who were eliminated from the army should defend their country and the people as soldiers! Although they are no longer in the army and are currently receiving pensions and resettlement funds from the army, they come to the streets to bully men and women, bring disaster to the people, and do such unscrupulous things! It is simply not a pity that they should die!"

"From the beginning, I issued an order that no evil deeds should be tolerated. Once discovered, the punishment will be increased! However, these evildoers were still not stopped! The mastermind Zhou Dahu was beheaded in public! The others were given fifty lashes and paraded through the streets for three days!"

Xiao Yanan's voice was sonorous and powerful.

The people were surprised when they heard the verdict.

Then, there was a sudden burst of warm applause!

"The prince made a good judgment!"

"Your Highness really cares about the people. Otherwise, who knows how many honest people would have been harmed."

"The prince is wise!"

Listening to the crowd's shouts, Xiao Yan'an stood there in a daze.

His father had always emphasized the people’s will. At this moment, he deeply understood what the people’s will was!

The person who should stand here and accept the people's praise should not be him, but Ji Chuhe.

When I turned around, I saw a carriage parked on the side of the road. It was Ji Chuhe's carriage.

The car curtain was opened, and Ji Chuhe was also looking in this direction.

Xiao Yan'an gave Ji Chuhe a bright smile.

Ji Chuhe just looked at him with no expression on her face, and then lowered the curtain.

The young man has bright eyes and white teeth, and is worthy of being a banished immortal in the bright and beautiful scenery.

How come I have a brain filled with love?

Xiao Yan'an was a little embarrassed, but he quickly came to his senses.

It's normal for Ji Chuhe to look down on him, he is indeed not as good as her.

While the people were still gathering around the government office, a man quietly left from an unnoticed corner.

Ji Chuhe ordered the carriage to go around to the back door of the government office, got off the carriage and walked into the government office.

She took out the badge the prince had given her and said, "Take me to see Zhou Dahu."

"Yes." The guard immediately led the way.

In prison, Zhou Dahu was held in solitary confinement. He no longer had his previous arrogance and looked like a puddle of mud.

As soon as he heard the noise, he immediately climbed up, held on to the cell door and tried hard to look out.

The chains on his hands made a heavy banging sound.

When he saw that the person coming was a strange woman, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Go and ask the prince to come over." Ji Chuhe turned and ordered the guard who brought her here.

"Yes." The guard left immediately.

Ji Chuhe took out some small change and placed it in front of several jailers. "You guys can go out first. I still have something to talk to him about alone. This is the reward money. Buy some wine."

"Thank you, Madam." Several jailers took the money and left immediately.

Zhou Dahu looked at Ji Chuhe in confusion, "Are you the wife of the prince?"

Ji Chuhe sat at the table in the middle, facing Zhou Dahu.

"You certainly didn't expect that just by cooperating in a play, you would have to risk your life, right?"

Zhou Dahu immediately became alert, turned around and lay down on the straw-covered ground.

"It seems that you will be beheaded tomorrow, but you are not afraid. Are you waiting for the person who is directing you behind the scenes to rescue you?" Ji Chuhe asked again.

Her attitude made Zhou Dahu feel panicked, but he still pretended to be calm.

"I don't understand what you are talking about."

"Since you don't want to say it, let me guess. Someone instructed you to deliberately attack a weak woman on Xiao Jincheng's way back, luring him to help, and then you teamed up to beat him up. Or, Xiao Jincheng also knew about this plan and took the initiative to cooperate with you to play this drama."

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Dahu's eyes.

How come the Crown Prince’s wife guessed so accurately?

Ji Chuhe smiled. It seemed that Xiao Jincheng, even at such a young age, was no pushover.

Xiao Yan'an walked in with a serious expression. He heard everything Ji Chuhe said just now.

He couldn't believe it, it was real.

“Since you are not afraid of death, then be willing to die tomorrow.” Ji Chuhe slowly stood up and prepared to leave.

Zhou Dahu suddenly jumped up from the ground and grabbed the bars of the cell.

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you, can you give me a way out?"

He was anxious.

This was also within Ji Chuhe's expectations.

"Speak!" Xiao Yan'an shouted loudly.

"Yes, someone instructed me to act out this drama." Zhou Dahu confessed everything.

"The person who ordered you was Concubine Gao? Xiao Jincheng also knew about your plan and cooperated with you?" Xiao Yan'an asked loudly.

"Yes, yes. Prince, spare my life!"

Xiao Yan'an took a step back and shook his head with a look of disappointment.

how could this be?

Ji Chuhe glanced at Xiao Yan'an and said, "Prince, let's go out first."

She walked in front, and Xiao Yan'an waited for a while before turning around.

"Prince, please spare my life! Prince, I have already said it, please let me live!" Zhou Dahu shouted loudly.

The only response he got was the heavy sound of a door closing.

Ji Chuhe first came to the lounge of the government office. After Xiao Yan'an arrived, she picked up the teapot and poured him a glass of water.

"Why? Why would they do this? Mother has been very kind to them and me, what else are they dissatisfied with? Could it be that they still want my position as the Crown Prince?"

"What else?" Ji Chuhe asked back.

"I've always felt that the palace was harmonious, without those dirty things that come out of other people's backyards." Xiao Yan'an smiled self-deprecatingly.

It turns out, they are all the same.

What brotherly love and respect? It's all his wishful thinking!

"Prince, everyone living in this world will do their best to gain greater benefits for themselves. Who is born like you, with status and position, and protected by his father, the king, and his mother, so he can do whatever he wants? In this world, there is not even one person with a good family background among a hundred people."

"Those who were born into a bad family, or were born from concubines, would be fine if they were content with their fate and didn't fight for what didn't belong to them. But once they wanted to fight for it, they would stop at nothing."

"For example, the unclear financial transactions between Aunt Xu and Zhao Kang. If she was born into a royal family, she would be a legitimate daughter. If the prince wanted to marry her, it would be too high for him to marry her."

Ji Chuhe deliberately mentioned Xu Yan'er at this time, just to provoke Xiao Yan'an.

Can you please put less romance in your mind?

"Xiao Jincheng, the bastard born in Concubine Gao's belly, doesn't he want to replace the Crown Prince? He is not much worse than the Crown Prince, right? It's just that their backgrounds are different. How can he accept this calmly?"

Xiao Yanan felt very upset, "But, I have always treated him as my own brother."
