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

After forty beatings.

This matter also spread throughout the palace.

When hearing the news, some people couldn't believe it was true.

After all, I had just seen Ji Chuhe being kind in the morning, so how come he started torturing me in the blink of an eye!

After inquiring more carefully, I suddenly felt that Ma Wan did not deserve the beating at all.

Ma Wan's personality made him domineering in the palace, but he was close to the dowager concubine and was highly trusted by her, so many people did not dare to provoke him.

I'm afraid the Crown Prince's wife will have a hard time reporting to the Concubine Dowager.

Concubine Xu sat in the main hall with a gloomy face. Looking from the door, she saw Ma Wan lying in the yard covered in blood, wailing in a muffled voice.

"Madam Concubine, she didn't hit the servant, she hit the face of Madam Concubine."

"She is just looking for trouble on purpose, targeting the Concubine Dowager!"

"My Lady Dowager, this beating from me cannot be in vain!"

Concubine Xu was holding the Bodhi bracelet tightly in her hand. Suddenly, the string broke and the beads scattered all over the floor!

Xu Yan'er looked at this scene and didn't dare to breathe.

Concubine Xu stood up from the chair, holding on to it with one hand, her body trembling.

It seems that this time, she was really angry.

"Ji Chuhe! How dare she!"

The servants in the room immediately knelt on the ground.

"How dare she interfere with me! She is so rebellious! Ask Princess Rong if she dares to interfere with me! Ji Chuhe is such a rebellious bastard!"

"When you beat a dog, you have to look at its owner first. Ji Chuhe is trampling on my dignity!"

Ji Chuhe's beating caught Concubine Xu off guard!

Just as she was still planning how to set a trap for Ji Chuhe, Ji Chuhe reached out and slapped her in the face.

"Your Highness, please calm down. Don't get yourself in trouble." Nanny Wang stepped forward and tried to persuade her.

Concubine Xu took a few deep breaths before she calmed down. Her heart was beating very fast and her brain was a little dizzy.

She needs to take it easy.

Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. She’s only had a few days of good life. It’s not worth it to get sick from anger.

Concubine Xu comforted herself. She was reluctant to give up this good life of wealth and glory. She wanted to live well and live a long life!

"Drag Ma Wan away and ask the court physician to come and take a look." Concubine Xu ordered.

"Yes." Nanny Wang immediately went to arrange it.

Xu Yan'er went to pour a glass of water and brought it to Concubine Xu, "My Lady Concubine, Ji Chuhe dares to be so arrogant, she must have the princess behind her to support her."

"You still need to tell me something so obvious! If you were more motivated, what would that fake Ji Chuhe have to do with you?"

Xu Yan'er was so angry about being blamed. It was obviously the Queen Mother who should have done better and become the Crown Prince's wife!

"What Yan'er wants to say is that this incident was instigated by the princess, otherwise how could Ji Chuhe dare to make trouble for the princess dowager?"

Concubine Xu seemed to be thinking about something.

After settling Ma Wan down, Nanny Wang returned to the house. Seeing that Concubine Xu had a stern face and didn't say anything, she didn't dare to speak either.

"Madam Wang, please go to Heluan Palace to find the princess and report this matter. I want to see what the princess means."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

Nanny Wang was very worried as she walked to Heluan Palace.

Whenever the masters fight each other, the servants are always the ones who suffer.

What good can she get from going to the princess this time?

Just as they arrived outside the gate of Heluan Palace, a second-class maid came out.

"Isn't this Nanny Wang?"

"I'm here to pay my respects to the princess." Nanny Wang responded awkwardly.

"What a coincidence! The princess went to Fanyin Temple to fulfill her vow early this morning. She said she would stay in the temple for a few more days to enjoy the tranquility of Buddhism."

"Then do you know when the princess will return?"

"I don't know yet. When the princess wants to come back, she will come back naturally."

Nanny Wang turned around dejectedly, and the wrinkles on her face deepened.

The prince has been busy with conscription these days, and the prince has also taken on the post of conscription. I'm afraid these two masters are not in Huaiyang City.

This is because he has seized the opportunity to deal with the Concubine Dowager!

When Concubine Xu heard Nanny Wang's reply, she was so angry that she threw the white porcelain teacup in her hand.

"Your Highness, the princess is hiding from you!" Xu Yan'er twisted her handkerchief and shared the same hatred with the queen.

"Your Highness, what should we do now? We are responsible for all the needs of Changning Palace ourselves. Manager Ma was beaten so badly that he only has one breath left. It is estimated that he will not recover for three months." Nanny Wang pointed out the most important issue that needed to be resolved right now.

"You are responsible for the purchase."

"But what about the bills?" Nanny Wang looked troubled.

Concubine Xu looked at Xu Yan'er and said, "Yan'er, you go down first."

Xu Yan'er was stunned. She didn't expect that the Concubine Dowager would send her away at this time. She couldn't describe the feeling in her heart!

"Yes, Yan'er, I'll take my leave."

It was not until Xu Yan'er walked out that Concubine Xu spoke.

"Do you still need me to teach you about this? No matter what you come up with, you must pay me my one hundred taels of silver no matter what!"

"Yes, I will find a way."

……

Things in Changning Palace are in chaos.

Although the princess did not restrict Concubine Xu's spending, Concubine Xu was brought to Huaiyang in a carriage, and she had nothing but some decent but worthless things given by the empress dowager.

After arriving in Huaiyang, she became a noble concubine. Although she had no worries about food and clothing, she still did not have much silver on her!

She decided to report false accounts.

At first, she didn't dare to report more.

Ten or eight taels.

Later, the princess turned a blind eye and never checked her expenses, and she became more and more daring.

Not only are the things I buy becoming more and more expensive, but it has even reached the point of extravagance.

The accounts kept increasing and he lived a very extravagant life.

Just by reporting confusing accounts, she swallowed up tens of thousands of taels of silver, all of which was hidden in the farm she bought outside.

She also secretly purchased a farm and two shops.

Of course, these are all things that cannot be seen in public.

If she had wanted a few shops and farms to support herself at the beginning, the princess would have given them to her generously.

However, she couldn't stand this kind of life of being inferior to others and living at the mercy of others!

Later, the princess ordered to save money in the palace, and clearly stipulated that the expenses of each palace should not exceed a certain amount, and the Changning Palace should not exceed one hundred taels of silver.

Concubine Xu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Later, she thought of a way: pretend to be sick!

Then tell the princess that she needs to use the best supplements to nourish her body.

This is filial piety, and the princess naturally would not refuse.

He raised the expenditure of Changning Palace to three hundred taels.

Later, the concubine still felt that the money was coming in too slowly, and she fell seriously ill again.

The princess increased her spending still further.

The Concubine Dowager also knew that the upper limit could not exceed five hundred taels, and this was probably the limit of the Princess's tolerance.

Therefore, her monthly expenses fluctuated around three or four hundred taels.

In addition to supporting his luxurious daily expenses, he had to earn a steady income of 100 taels of silver every month.

Those precious medicinal supplements were also secretly sold.

Days like this have always been stable!

But Ji Chuhe, this fake, is determined to cut off her source of income!
