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

All the people who came with the dowry from the Ji Mansion stood in the room, each with a nervous look on their face, secretly wondering what Ji Chuhe was going to do.

"Today, I will give you a chance to choose whether to stay with me or return to the Ji Mansion. You decide for yourself. Those who are willing to stay stand over here, and those who want to return to the Ji Mansion stand over here. You only have one chance."

As soon as Ji Chuhe finished speaking, Nanny Sun and Chunzhi immediately stood in the direction of returning to the Ji Mansion.

The four maids Caiyun, Caiyue, Qiulian and Qiuying looked embarrassed.

They wanted to stay, but their families were still in the Ji Mansion.

Several servants also looked at the people around them.

"Think about your family members in the Ji Mansion and know who your masters are!" Nanny Sun lowered her voice to remind everyone.

Caiyue was the first to waver. She knelt down in front of Ji Chuhe with a plop, "I'm sorry, ma'am."

"Get up." Ji Chuhe raised his hand indifferently.

The rest of the people also hurriedly stood over to Nanny Sun.

Finally, only a thin servant was left.

"Are you willing to stay with me?" Ji Chuhe asked.

"Yes, I am willing to follow you, Madam." The servant responded affirmatively.

Ji Chuhe saw that the boy looked unfamiliar and thought he should be doing some rough work. He was quite smart and not like those other servants who pretended to be timid.

"What's your name?" Ji Chuhe asked.

"My name is Chunsheng."

"Does anyone in your family work for the Ji Mansion?"

"No, I only have one master. I used to follow him around the world to perform. But my master suddenly fell seriously ill and died. So I sold myself to bury him."

"Okay, from now on, you will stay with me. Today, you don't have to go back home with me."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Everyone else, go pack up immediately and follow me back to the door."

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

The news of Ji Chuhe's return spread quickly, and some people stood on the roadside near the palace to watch the fun.

There were three carriages parked in front of the palace.

One was for Ji Chuhe, and the other two were full of things.

The maids, old women, grooms and servants who accompanied them formed quite a large crowd.

"Three carriages! How many things must they be carrying back to my parents' home! As expected of a royal palace, the return gifts are so lavish."

"At that time, people were saying that the two young ladies from the Ji Mansion carried the wrong sedan chair, but no one believed it! Now that I saw Ji Chuhe walking out of the palace with my own eyes, it can't be wrong."

"How bizarre! How could they just let the mistake go like that? Shouldn't they change it back?"

"We have to make the best of a bad situation! I heard that when the Wang Mansion found out that they had carried the wrong person, the Shen Mansion had already entered the bridal chamber."

"I heard about it too! Didn't Master Shen notice that the bride was replaced?"

"Maybe, he turned off the lights and didn't notice?"

"When you were in the bridal chamber, you blew out the lights without even glancing at the bride!"

"Is it a deliberate mistake?"

"I also heard that the second young lady of the Ji family fell in love with the young master of the Shen family, and the two of them had been hooking up for a long time! But the second young lady's marriage was arranged with the royal family, so they didn't dare to cancel the engagement, so the two of them came up with this! Either they picked the wrong one, or they intended to change the marriage!"

"Is this Second Miss Ji mentally ill? What's so good about the Shen family? A poor family that has fallen on hard times, how can it compare to a royal palace!"

"But Shen Chengjing is a handsome and knowledgeable man, a noble boy from a poor family."

"In my opinion, the two of them must have been in cahoots for a long time, otherwise, how could they be forced to come up with such a plan?"

"It is said that Miss Ji is dignified and reserved, and that she is not much different from the noble ladies in the imperial capital. From this point of view, rumors are just rumors and cannot be believed."

"I heard that the place where Miss Ji and Mr. Shen secretly met was uncovered! It was in the back hill of Fanyin Temple. Someone happened to pass by and saw the two of them leaning against a big tree... Tsk tsk tsk! The scene was disgusting, and the sound could be heard from far away."

"Oh my god, Miss Ji is so wanton? That's a Buddhist place!"

"Anyway, it's not a good thing."

"It's a pity that Shen Chengjing is a scholar. He has brought shame to all scholars."

Ji Chuhe was sitting in the carriage, and the sounds of discussions outside could be heard from time to time.

She was sure these were rumors.

At this time in her previous life, Ji Qingyuan was determined to marry into the palace and become the Crown Prince's wife, and would never even look at Shen Chengjing.

She hadn't taken any action against the two of them yet, but these rumors were enough to ruin their reputation.

You reap what you sow, this is what they deserve!

The carriage swayed slowly to the outside of Ji's house.

When the gatekeeper saw that it was a carriage from the palace, he hurried out to greet it.

Ji Chuhe got off the carriage, and when the servant saw her, he couldn't hide his amazement in his eyes.

"Miss! You're back too!"

Judging from the servant's voice, Ji Qingyuan should have arrived a long time ago.

"Go and inform them." Ji Chuhe said, then lifted her skirt and walked into the mansion.

Even as they walked to the inner courtyard, they did not see Magistrate Ji or Geng coming out to greet them.

When Ji Chuhe stepped into the inner courtyard, he saw a green figure standing in the courtyard. It was Shen Chengjing.

In the previous life, Ji Chuhe felt sorry for him because he was born in a poor family but did not succumb to fate and was eager to learn and make progress. She even felt sorry for the old blue shirt he was wearing, and pitied him for his hard life.

Now it seems that Shen Chengjing is nothing but poor.

A person who is poor but has high aspirations can still be a noble son from a poor family.

That kind of conceited, inferior, and selfish nature is caused by poverty!

The family is always scheming.

Shen Chengjing also turned around and looked at Ji Chuhe, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

The Ji Chuhe in front of him was completely different from the Ji Chuhe he was familiar with, the one who always wore dark-colored clothes, was gentle, didn't like to talk, and looked lifeless at a young age!

In comparison, Ji Qingyuan is always the brightest one in the crowd.

From the first time Shen Chengjing met Ji Qingyuan, he was deeply fascinated by her.

He knew his identity and knew that he would never be able to marry a rich lady like Ji Qingyuan in his lifetime.

He could only keep Ji Qingyuan in his heart.

One day, someone suddenly came to propose marriage. When Shen Chengjing heard that it was County Magistrate Ji looking for a son-in-law, his heart was so excited that it almost jumped out of his throat!

However, the matchmaker was talking about Ji Chuhe, the eldest daughter of the Ji family.

He knew that even if she was the eldest daughter of the Ji family, he was still marrying above his station.

What's more, she was Ji Qingyuan's sister, so he agreed to the marriage immediately.

If he can't marry Ji Qingyuan, he can marry Ji Chuhe, who has a little relationship with her.

In this way, he will have more opportunities to meet Ji Qingyuan.

When he saw Ji Chuhe for the first time, he was stunned!

How can Ji Chuhe be so old-fashioned?

She was wearing a brown coat and looked like an old maid. She didn't have the temperament of a young lady at all.

In such a comparison, Ji Qingyuan seems more like a goddess in heaven, who is out of reach!

It was Ji Qingyuan, the goddess he had always worshipped, who suddenly appeared before him on his wedding night.

She also told him that she had long been fond of him and was willing to marry him at any cost.

At that moment, Ji Qingyuan said she wanted his life, and he gave it to her without hesitation!

"Pa!" A crisp slapping sound suddenly came from inside the house.

"You are crazy! Lunatic!" Then, a shout came from inside the house.

It was Gunn’s voice.
