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

After Ji Chuhe opened the wooden box, he found several land deeds inside!

The detailed information of the shop is clearly marked on the deed, all located on the most prosperous streets in Huaiyang City!

There was a wine shop, a cloth shop, a teahouse, a literary shop selling pens, ink, paper and inkstones needed by scholars, and a grain shop.

There are five shops in total, and they are all the most profitable businesses nowadays!

Just relying on these few shops, it is enough for her to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life!

Her dowry also included three shops, only one of which was in Huaiyang City, and it was in a bad location. It was currently rented out and she was collecting rent.

The other two stores were located in a small town ten miles away from Huaiyang City. They were run by servants from the Ji Mansion and operated some grocery business. The profits did not appear to be high on the books, so there should be some inflated profits.

In her previous life, in order to support the Shen family, she went into business. Even though the business was different, she knew the ins and outs of it.

Ji Chuhe wanted to wait for a while to take back all the shops and then make other arrangements. In this way, these shops could truly be hers.

All the assets she has now added together are comparable to those of a wealthy country gentleman.

On days like this, Ji Chuhe would laugh in his dreams.

Just then, Qingluo walked in, "Madam, are you awake?"

"Aunt Qingluo, I have seen the reward that Mother gave me. I was just about to put on my makeup and go to thank Mother for her kindness."

"The princess said that the private storehouse in Liuhua Palace also belongs to Madam. I just went to count the things in the storehouse and re-registered them. This is the key to the private storehouse."

Qingluo's words gave Ji Chuhe another huge surprise.

"Aunt Qingluo, there should be a lot of the prince's things in the private storehouse of Liuhua Palace, right?" she asked tentatively.

"Yes, when the prince moved to Mo Garden, he picked some and took them with him. The princess said that the rest belonged to the lady, and from now on the master of Liuhua Palace would be the lady."

"Okay." Ji Chuhe answered decisively.

I don't feel that these things are hot at all.

Because, if she doesn't take it, it will belong to Xu Yan'er.

"Aunt Qingluo, please help me put these deeds in the warehouse. I'll have to trouble you to temporarily manage the warehouse of Liuhua Palace."

"Yes, but Madam, you should also consider choosing some servants who are handy."

"I know." Ji Chuhe nodded.

There is no need to rush this matter right now. After all, the person she trusts is still in Ji Qingyuan's hands.

Besides, her eagerness to cultivate her own confidants makes people think that she is ambitious.

It’s better to just let it go and plan step by step.

A moment later, Ji Chuhe arrived at Heluan Palace where the princess lived.

The princess was happily trimming green plants. When she saw Ji Chuhe coming, she put down the scissors and turned around.

"Greetings, mother." Ji Chuhe stepped forward and saluted.

"Quickly, no need to be polite, He'er, come and sit down."

"Yes." Ji Chuhe sat obediently beside the princess.

"The prince has taken the initiative to accept the mission, and he can't wait to go to Huaiyang Prefecture today." The princess's eyes were full of smiles as she spoke, "He'er, this stubborn guy, how did he agree to it?"

"My daughter-in-law just mentioned this matter to the prince and told him that men should have lofty ambitions, and he agreed."

The princess took a long breath, feeling relieved that her child had finally grown up and become sensible.

"Mother, I just did my share of the work, but the reward you gave me is too much."

"Not much, not much, He'er, these are what you deserve! And the things in the storehouse of Liuhua Palace, you should keep them all. You are the legal wife, and everything that belongs to the prince is yours!" The princess was worried that the prince would make trouble and let that bitch Xu Yan'er get away with it!

"Yes, your daughter-in-law thanks your mother for the reward." Ji Chuhe immediately stood up and saluted.

The princess helped Ji Chuhe sit down again, "He'er, tomorrow is your return banquet. Mother wanted to ask the prince to accompany you back, but he probably won't agree. However, if you go back alone, you will attract some gossip."

"Don't worry, mother. Tomorrow my daughter-in-law will be the only one returning home. Others will have their say. Let them say whatever they want. It's just some shallow remarks. It doesn't matter." Ji Chuhe responded calmly, not caring at all.

The princess patted Ji Chuhe's hand approvingly, "You are so smart and capable, much better than Ji Qingyuan. Fortunately, Ji Qingyuan married into the Shen family. The prince really married the right person."

Ji Chuhe smiled faintly. She could feel that the princess's love for her was growing day by day.

"He'er, have you ever learned how to keep accounts as a butler in the Ji Mansion?"

"Mother taught me some housekeeping chores, but she didn't have much contact with account books and the like." Ji Chuhe responded softly.

The princess nodded in understanding. Geng was a stepmother, so how could she be truly kind to He'er? This was evident from the marriage that Geng had chosen for He'er.

She really couldn't understand.

What's so good about the Shen family that makes Ji Qingyuan marry into the family regardless of the consequences as if she was under a spell?

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Mother will teach you slowly. Here are a few account books. Take them home and read them slowly. If you don't understand something, ask Qingluo."

"Yes."

Ji Chuhe walked out of Heluan Palace, with the maid behind her holding a thick account book. Wherever she passed, she attracted countless inquiring glances.

As soon as they passed by, the servants began to talk.

"Is the princess really going to hand over the power of the household to this imposter? I thought she was going to be kicked out of the palace. How could she be so favored by the princess?"

"Hush, watch your words! What kind of fake is that? The princess and the prince have already recognized her identity. She is the wife of the prince. Didn't you see that the maid behind her is holding an account book? You should show respect to her from now on."

"Even if she becomes the Crown Prince's wife, it doesn't matter. The Crown Prince doesn't like her at all. He even hates her to the extreme."

"Don't discuss the master's affairs. The prince doesn't like her, but the princess does!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people beside him suddenly became speechless.

……

Three days after the wedding, the daughter and her new husband returned to visit their parents-in-law.

Ji Chuhe got up early and washed up, and Caiyue and Caiyun walked in with a few sets of clothes in their hands.

"Ma'am, what are you wearing today?"

"Red, for festive occasion." Ji Chuhe deliberately dressed up to look wealthy and impressive.

This red dress not only shows luxury and nobility everywhere, but also has a strong aura.

Products from the royal palace, whether it is the fabric, workmanship or regulations, the Ji palace can only look up to them.

Caiyue and Caiyun respectfully changed Ji Chuhe's clothes.

Just after changing clothes, Qingluo walked in.

"Madam, the return gift that the princess ordered has been loaded onto the car, and she has also ordered me to accompany you back home."

"Thank you, Aunt Qingluo."

"Madam, there is no need to be so polite to me. I will go check again to see if there is anything missing." Qingluo bowed and took her leave.

Ji Chuhe saw two people peeking furtively outside the door out of the corner of his eye.

It’s Nanny Sun and Chunzhi.

Apart from punishing them both that night, Ji Chuhe ignored them again.

After just glancing at them, Ji Chuhe turned around as if nothing had happened and continued to fix her makeup.

Finally, the two men couldn't help it anymore, and walked in one after another and knelt in front of Ji Chuhe.

"Madam, I also want to go back home with you. Please take us with you." It was Madam Sun who spoke first.

As soon as she opened her mouth, Ji Chuhe knew what she was planning.

“Caiyue, call all the maids and servants who come with the Ji family’s dowry over here. I have something to say.” Ji Chuhe raised his sleeves and gave the order softly.
