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

After Ji Chuhe came back, he stayed in the house reading.

It was getting dark and Nanny Ji came in to light the lamp.

"Miss, it's getting dark, be careful not to damage your eyes."

"Why does time go by so fast when I'm reading? It's dark in the blink of an eye." Ji Chuhe reluctantly put down the book in his hand.

It had been a long time since she had enjoyed reading a book she liked so comfortably.

The only good memory I have in the Ji Mansion is being allowed to enter Ji Cheng’s library.

It was a three-story wooden building filled with all kinds of books.

After Ji Chuhe started to learn, her grandmother gave her some books to read. She was able to read them at a young age. When she encountered something she didn't understand, she would ask her teacher or her grandmother, or study it on her own.

Later, I became addicted to it.

If Geng didn't let her behave herself, she would hide in the library and enjoy the quiet and leisurely time.

She had read all the books in the Ji Mansion Library.

Reading makes people wise, it is true.

Otherwise, she would not have pushed Shen Chengjing to a high position second only to the emperor and above everyone else in her previous life.

"Miss, do you want to wait for the prince to come back before serving the meal?" Nanny Ji asked softly.

"No, if he concentrates on his work, he won't be able to come back for dinner today. When he comes back, let Xiangzhu wait on him."

"Yes, then I will prepare the meal for the young lady first. The kitchen has also boiled some tonic medicine. The young lady needs to take good care of herself recently. The medicinal materials in Yunze Mountain are really good. I ate a big bowl of medicine today and I feel energetic and refreshed!"

"Really? If it works so well, I'll eat more too." Ji Chuhe responded with a smile.

It seems that the old ginseng is still effective.

After the meal, Ji Chuhe went out to stroll around the garden as usual.

When I walked to the pavilion in the garden, I saw a figure sitting in front of a stone table.

Xiao Jincheng is slightly shorter than Xiao Yan'an, but much thinner. His facial features are also very outstanding, but a little feminine.

Just by looking at his face, Ji Chuhe felt that this kind of person was particularly difficult to deal with, extremely scheming, and vindictive.

If you can avoid offending someone, never offend them!

But unfortunately, she and Xiao Jincheng have stood on opposite sides.

There was a lamp on the table, and the light was bright.

The young man was dressed in dark blue brocade clothes and was reading a book quietly.

The other arm was wrapped in gauze and hung around the neck.

"Miss, it's the second young master. Why don't we go back first?" The first thing Nanny Ji thought of was to avoid suspicion.

Ji Chuhe chuckled, "It's okay."

Since the other person is willing to stay here to protect her, of course she has to go and meet him.

He took a step forward and walked towards the pavilion.

Xiao Jincheng was a little surprised when he heard footsteps coming towards him.

"Second Young Master." Ji Chuhe took the initiative to speak.

Xiao Jincheng raised his head in pretended surprise, and when his eyes fell on Ji Chuhe, he immediately stood up and saluted Ji Chuhe.

"I've met my sister-in-law."

"No need to be so polite, Second Young Master." Ji Chuhe looked around, "Why did Second Young Master come to the garden to read? Didn't the palace doctor say that Second Young Master's injuries were serious and it would be best for him to stay in bed and rest?"

"Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. This injury is nothing. I have been in the house for a whole day and wanted to get some fresh air, so I walked around and saw the beautiful scenery in the garden, so I sat here for a while."

"What book is the Second Young Master reading?" Ji Chuhe glanced at the book in Xiao Jincheng's hand.

"It's just a travelogue, which records some strange sights, anecdotes and events."

“It sounds interesting.”

"If sister-in-law likes it, I will give this travel journal to her as a gift."

"I just saw you were so absorbed in reading this book. I'm sure you really like it. How can I take away someone's interest?"

"The reason why I love this book is that I hope that one day I can travel around the mountains and rivers like the person who read it, and see the wonders described in the book. In this life, I can do whatever I want and be free and at ease."

Ji Chuhe felt somewhat familiar with these words.

These are the words that the male protagonists often say in those love notebooks.

Then, she would coax the ladies living in the inner house into going around in circles, and they would like to travel around the world with the hero right away!

"I thought that the Second Young Master was diligent and studious because he had great ambitions in his heart. A good man has ambitions to go far and wide, either to pacify the world through military service or to decide the fate of the world through writing. The Second Young Master should stop reading these books, lest you waste your mind. It's not good for a young man to indulge in pleasure." Ji Chuhe taught like an elder.

Xiao Jincheng was confused and didn't even know how to respond.

After a long time, he managed to utter, "Sister-in-law is right. I will pay attention to it in the future."

"It's getting late, Second Young Master, go back and rest early." Ji Chuhe ordered rudely.

"Then I'll take my leave first." Xiao Jincheng bowed and turned to leave.

Although he appears calm on the outside, his emotions are actually turbulent.

Ji Chuhe is indeed different from ordinary women!

What's in her heart is not romance, but the country and the world!

It's all his fault. Instead of a travelogue, he should have compiled a book about governing the world!

I don’t know if this time has left a bad impression on Ji Chuhe.

Ji Chuhe looked at Xiao Jincheng's departing back and smiled slightly.

Young people just can't keep their cool.

It seems that the news that she went to the government office and met Zhou Dahu has already reached the ears of Concubine Gao and Xiao Jincheng.

Let's see what actions the two will take next.

She guessed that the mother and son would not give up.

……

Late at night.

Zhou Dahu, however, was not sleepy at all.

He still couldn't believe that he had been sentenced to death and would be executed in public tomorrow.

Concubine Gao didn't try to save him. Wasn't she afraid that he would betray them?

He would do anything to survive!

Before the execution tomorrow, he desperately protested his innocence, and everyone knew about it.

He wanted to see if they dared to sentence him to death.

Thinking of this, Zhou Dahu relaxed a little and felt a little sleepy.

Suddenly, something fell on him.

It was a note thrown in through the small window of the prison.

He immediately turned over the note and saw only one line of words on it.

"Tomorrow, if you testify against Concubine Gao and the Second Young Master in public, the Crown Prince will ensure that you survive."

Zhou Dahu crumpled the paper ball into his palm.

Isn't this exactly what he wants?

However, with the prince's guarantee, he felt more confident!

……

The next morning, Ji Chuhe got up early and washed.

Although Xiao Yan'an came back late at night, he got up at the same time as Ji Chuhe.

Nanny Ji prepared breakfast for the two of them.

"You want to go to the execution ground with me?" Xiao Yan'an couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah, I'm worried that they might do something." Ji Chuhe responded directly.

"It's okay. I'm here! I will definitely not let the execution be affected in any way." Xiao Yan'an assured softly.

Ji Chuhe raised her head and looked at him quietly without saying anything.

Xiao Yanan's scalp tingled when she stared at him, and his self-confidence was gradually diminishing.
