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

Ji Chuhe has never been one to respond passively to challenges.

The next morning, she asked someone to notify all the stewards to come to Liuhua Palace for questioning.

The steward of the palace is named Hua, and people call him Uncle Hua.

Then there were the kitchen manager, the miscellaneous affairs manager, the carriage manager, the purchasing manager, the accountant, the warehouse managers and the head nanny of each palace.

Twenty or thirty people stood respectfully in the yard.

Two people came to Changning Palace.

One is the head nanny, and the other is Ma Wan, the manager in charge of purchasing.

Ji Chuhe was dressed in gorgeous attire today. Everything she wore was awarded by the princess. She looked very imposing.

A new bride was given the power of housekeeper within a few days of entering the palace. This would not happen even in an ordinary family, let alone a royal palace.

It can be seen how much favor and appreciation she has from the princess now.

The servants also had their own thoughts in their minds, secretly guessing what was going on.

Ji Chuhe slowly stood up and walked down the stairs.

"I called everyone here today to get to know each other. My mother trusts me and asked me to help her manage the palace's affairs. In the future, I will have to rely on the cooperation of the stewards and maids."

"Madam, just tell me if you have anything to say." Uncle Hua led everyone to reply. He had received the news and would treat Ji Chuhe the same as he would treat the princess.

"Thank you, Uncle Hua." Ji Chuhe thanked him calmly, and then said to everyone: "I, the housekeeper, have no other requirements. I just hope that everyone will abide by the rules and do things according to the rules. With rules, everything will have rules and regulations to follow."

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.

"Anyone who doesn't follow the rules will be dealt with by me, no matter who her master is. Do you understand?"

"understood."

"Okay, everyone get busy." Ji Chuhe raised his hand.

Everyone walked out one by one.

"The Crown Prince's wife looks quite kind." Someone whispered.

"Yeah." Someone echoed.

I didn't dare to talk any more and could only wonder in my heart what kind of person my new master was.

However, judging from Ji Chuhe's performance today, it seemed mediocre.

After all, she is a new bride, and it will take some time for her to establish her prestige.

Ji Chuhe can only be described as being decent but kind.

Ji Chuhe went back to the house, took a sip of tea, and waited quietly.

Not long after, two arguing voices were heard.

Outside Liuhua Palace, the horse purchasing manager of Changning Palace was pulling the accountant.

"We usually report our expenses in this way at Changning Palace! Why don't you give me money this time? The things have already been bought. Do you want others to accuse us of defaulting on our debts?"

"Manager Ma, please let go of your hand first. I really can't help you with this bill." The accountant pushed Manager Ma's hand away.

"Your accounts are unclear and you don't have the corresponding receipts. This is against the rules. Didn't you listen to what the Crown Prince's wife said today? Everything must be done according to the rules. Everyone must abide by the rules of the palace!"

"Rules? She made the rules? The princess didn't say anything before, and we all got the same amount of money. Why can't she do the same? Who does she think she is?"

"Then you will follow me to see my wife."

"Let's meet!"

Manager Ma strode towards Liuhua Palace. The accountant was so angry that he shook his head, "What a reckless man!"

Steward Ma walked into the main hall in a carefree manner.

Mianzhu frowned and looked at him, "How dare you! How dare you barge in without informing me!"

"I am Manager Ma from Changning Palace. I want to see the Crown Prince's wife. Ask her to come out!" Manager Ma said loudly.

Ji Chuhe walked out from the inner room and glanced at Manager Ma indifferently.

"What's the matter, Steward Ma?"

"Report the bill and pay the money!" Manager Ma slapped a handwritten list on the table. "I went to buy some things for the Concubine Dowager today. Here is the amount. Ask the accountant to pay me the money."

Ji Chuhe walked forward, picked up the receipt, took a look at it, and replied calmly, "I can't report it."

"Why can't you report it?" Manager Ma's voice rose several degrees, and his ferocious look was no different from the bandits outside.

Mianzhu quickly stood in front of the young lady and said, "How dare you yell at the wife of the Crown Prince!"

"Ma Wan! How dare you contradict your master!" Uncle Hua's voice rang out.

Nanny Si also walked in and her face darkened when she saw Ma Wan's arrogant look.

"This is how the accounts were reported when the princess was the housekeeper. If you don't report it to me, I will go to the princess!" Ma Wan was not afraid at all and looked righteous.

"It's no use for you to go to the prince. Anyone who is in the palace must follow the rules! If you want to withdraw money, just take the receipt." Ji Chuhe spoke every word with unyielding momentum.

"Are you trying to check the accounts of the Concubine?"

"No, I just want the receipt." Ji Chuhe corrected in a cold voice.

Then, she threw the list in her hand at Manager Ma’s face!

"Bring the receipts for what you bought! I don't care what the Concubine bought or how much money she spent! It was my father and mother's filial piety that didn't restrict the Concubine's expenses. I only accept receipts to pay money."

Manager Ma's throat hardened, and he pointed at Ji Chuhe, "Okay, you wait!"

"Wait!" Ji Chuhe shouted, "Butler Ma, you didn't listen to what I said today, nor did you take it to heart! Then I don't mind repeating it again, I, the butler, must do everything according to the rules of the palace!"

Manager Ma turned around and spat on the ground.

Ji Chuhe wanted to use him to establish his authority! Who is he? Ji Chuhe had hit a hard nut!

"You!" Uncle Hua was so angry that his face turned blue.

"Uncle Hua, according to the rules of the palace, what is the punishment for a servant who openly contradicts the master?" Ji Chuhe asked in a calm voice.

"Twenty strokes of the cane." Uncle Hua responded in a deep voice.

"Take Manager Ma away and give him twenty strokes of the cane." Ji Chuhe's tone was level, as if he was just talking about what he had eaten today.

Uncle Hua and Nanny Si were both stunned for a moment.

"You dare to hit me! I am the steward appointed by the Queen Dowager herself!" Ma Wan jumped up again.

"Being disrespectful and refusing to obey discipline are more serious crimes, right?" Ji Chuhe asked Uncle Hua.

"Yes." Uncle Hua responded affirmatively.

Ji Chuhe raised his chin slightly, "What are you waiting for? Pull it out."

Uncle Hua made up his mind and immediately called the servant in.

"You..." Ma Wan just struggled for a moment and was pushed to the ground.

"Shut his mouth!" Uncle Hua instructed and waved his hand.

Ma Wan was dragged out.

"Madam, I'll take Ma Wan out to avoid polluting your eyes here." Uncle Hua asked for instructions.

"No, let's fight in the courtyard of Liuhua Palace." Ji Chuhe not only wanted to fight in Liuhua Palace, but also wanted to watch it with his own eyes.

She walked out slowly and saw Ma Wan had been placed on two long benches.

Four or five servants were tying up his hands and feet.

Ma Wan was so strong that it took four or five servants to hold him down.

After tying him up, the servant let go, but Ma Wan was still struggling.

"Beat him!" Uncle Hua gave an order and the board fell down.

After a few blows, even the hardest bones will become soft.

Ma Wan was no exception, lying on the bench motionless.

The surroundings were filled with onlookers, and their scalps went numb listening to the sound of flesh being hit again and again!
