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

Ji Chuhe took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

"My Lord, have you thought of something again? Why do you suddenly feel this way?" she asked patiently.

"Look at how the people behaved just now. They're like the grass on the wall. They lean in whichever direction the wind blows. They can praise you one moment and step on you the next. I wonder, what's the point of having such public support?" Xiao Yan'an expressed his thoughts truthfully.

Turns out I was struggling with this.

Ji Chuhe could understand Xiao Yanan's feelings.

He was not good at scheming, let alone planning anything or fighting for any interests.

Most people who are born with background, status, power, and wealth will have this mentality.

She also saw many rich kids in the imperial capital who only cared about living a comfortable and enjoyable life.

They have no pursuit in life, because as soon as they open their eyes and come into this world, they have already obtained something that others may not get even if they pursue it all their lives.

Xiao Yan'an hasn't developed any bad habits yet and is still so kind-hearted, which shows that the princess has taught him well.

"You should know that you have no choice about your parents' origins. Being a prince is much better than being someone like Zhou Dahu or Yu Laoer, right? Among a hundred people, you are the only lucky one."

Xiao Yan'an had no way to refute, he also knew that Ji Chuhe was right, but such thoughts would pop up in his mind.

"I don't think it's quite right when the prince says that people's hearts are like fence-sitters. I think people's hearts are like water. The person who holds power is like a boatman sailing on the water. If he does a good job, the water can carry the boat, but if he does not, the water can also overturn the boat."

"Since you are already rowing the boat on the water, why are you still worrying about why you are on the water and why you are rowing the boat? Is there any point? What you should be worrying about is how to row the boat well and ensure that you don't get overturned."

Xiao Yanan's mood suddenly became cheerful.

Ji Chuhe's words gave him some pointers.

"I understand." He nodded very modestly.

"Your Highness, please continue to take care of the affairs of the government office. I will return home first."

"Okay." Xiao Yan'an nodded.

Ji Chuhe turned and left.

The carriage stopped not far away. Just as she walked over and was about to get in, she heard a call.

"Ji Chuhe."

Ji Chuhe's back stiffened. She would never forget this voice.

"How dare you! How dare you call the Crown Prince's wife by her name!" Nanny Ji shouted sternly.

Ji Chuhe turned around and looked at Shen Chengjing.

Shen Chengjing took two steps forward eagerly.

"Capture him!" Ji Chuhe ordered coldly.

The guard immediately stepped forward and pressed Shen Chengjing to the ground. Shen Chengjing's face was pressed against the ground, leaving a bloody mark.

Only then did Ji Chuhe take a closer look at Shen Chengjing.

The clothes he was wearing were tattered and obviously had been patched and had holes in them. His skin was not as smooth as before and his hands had become dark and rough.

However, it looks stronger than before.

"Madam, I...I don't mean to offend you, I just have something to say to you." Shen Chengjing hurriedly explained.

Ji Chuhe raised his chin.

The guards immediately lifted Shen Chengjing up, but did not let go. Instead, they forced Shen Chengjing to kneel in front of Ji Chuhe.

"Mr. Shen, my sister is deeply in love with you. She risked breaking up with her parents and losing her reputation to marry you. Is this how you treat her?" Ji Chuhe asked coldly.

"Madam, Ji Qingyuan and I had no connection before the wedding! In this marriage, everyone thinks I got the upper hand, but in fact, I am the biggest victim!"

"Ji Qingyuan is the young lady of the Ji family and is deeply loved by Magistrate Ji and Geng. She used her status to suppress me and force me to submit. How could I have the power to choose! From the very beginning, the person I have been thinking about is you, and the person I want to marry is only you!" Shen Chengjing confessed loudly.

"Do you dare to come with me to the Ji Mansion and repeat word for word what you just said in front of your sister?" Ji Chuhe asked back in a cold voice.

Shen Chengjing was speechless.

"Shen Chengjing maliciously offended the Crown Prince's wife. Tie him up and take him to the government office to let the Crown Prince deal with him." Ji Chuhe gave direct orders.

Shen Chengjing was stunned. Just as he was about to speak, he was sealed by the guards and tied up.

Ji Chuhe got on the carriage without looking back.

Shen Chengjing watched the carriage going further and further away, feeling a pang of sadness in his heart.

His action just now was to test whether Ji Chuhe was reborn like Ji Qingyuan. Unfortunately, he was disappointed. Ji Chuhe's reaction did not show any suspicious signs.

Is it possible that Ji Qingyuan is the only one who was reborn?

Is Ji Qingyuan really the destined girl? God gave her such an opportunity!

Shen Chengjing felt that Ji Qingyuan must have concealed something that happened in her previous life. Ji Chuhe was so talented, and the situation when he and Ji Chuhe were together must not be what Ji Qingyuan said!

Is he blind?

He can't see the pearl that is Ji Chuhe, but instead he likes the fish eye that is Ji Qingyuan!

……

Ji Qingyuan and Geng took this opportunity to plead guilty to the princess.

In order to avoid any impact on the porridge distribution, the princess did not allow the two to continue distributing porridge.

They were simply asked to provide the rice needed for the 100-day porridge distribution, and then the two of them stayed at home to reflect on their mistakes.

Geng would go to see the sycamore tree every day.

There has been no response.

She even suspected that Ji Qingyuan was lying to her again.

Suddenly, Nanny Sun pointed to a spot and said, "Madam, it seems like new buds have really sprouted!"

"Where?! Point it out to me!" Geng's neck was almost broken as he looked up from several angles before he could see the tiny green bud!

"He's alive, really alive!" Geng shouted excitedly.

It seems that what her daughter said is true!

How could we know in advance that the paulownia tree would come back to life?

He must have experienced the exact same thing in his previous life for him to be able to say it so accurately.

"Madam, the master is back." The servant came to report.

Geng was still looking at the big tree with some madness in her eyes. With such a daughter who was reborn, why should she worry about not being able to change her own destiny!

"Madam, the master is back." The servant reported again.

"I know. Why are you arguing? He comes back so easily. Doesn't he have any servants to serve him?" Geng responded impatiently.

The boy and the servant beside him were all stunned.

Didn’t the lady want to revolve around the master every day in the past?

Why do you seem so indifferent to the master now?

Geng felt angry when she thought about how she had spent her whole life living in fear around Ji Cheng!

She was always afraid that Ji Cheng would have another woman and replace her.

Although Ji Cheng seemed to be very good to her, it was all based on his own preferences. She never dared to disobey him. If she did, Ji Cheng would not be so easy to talk to.

Only she knows the bitterness.

He has always been used to being arbitrary and dictatorial. It was because she had suffered too much injustice from Ji Cheng that she wanted to vent her anger on Ji Chuhe!
