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

"This is the dowry that the Ji family prepared for the daughters who marry into the palace. Whoever marries into the palace will own it. Nanny Sun, open all the dowry boxes and check them against the list. Check the number with the palace's steward tomorrow so that it will be easier to compile and store them."

Nanny Sun was panicked.

What will happen if we enter the palace’s treasury?

Haven’t all of them become Ji Chuhe’s personal property?

Not to mention the second young lady, even the county magistrate’s wife can’t be brought back!

"Madam, the key is with the second young lady, she keeps it personally. It is not with me." Nanny Sun looked as if she was saying, "You can't do anything to me."

The second young lady had instructed that we must keep the keys safe and that she would find a way to get the dowry back intact.

How shameless is Ji Chuhe to actually set his sights on the dowry.

Is it hers? She wants to snatch it!

"Since it's not with you, there's no need to go to the Shen Mansion to ask my second sister for the key." Ji Chuhe said, then turned to look at Qingluo, "Aunt Qingluo, could you please find a few people to pry the lock open, and put it on record tomorrow morning to avoid causing trouble to the people in the palace."

Qingluo was stunned for a moment, then immediately replied respectfully, "Madam, please wait a moment. I will call someone right away."

"No! This belongs to the Second Miss! You can't touch it!" Nanny Sun lay on the dowry box like a shrew.

"Someone, pull this old slave away!" Ji Chuhe gave an order.

The servant who had just come in immediately stepped forward and pulled Nanny Sun up. Nanny Sun tried to struggle, but was pinned to the ground, unable to move.

None of the remaining people dared to protect the dowry.

In less than an incense stick of time, the locks of all the dowry boxes were pried open.

Nanny Sun knelt on the ground and looked at Ji Chuhe as if she were a robber.

Ji Chuhe walked to a slightly smaller box and took out various land deeds and the indentures of these people.

I counted them and found there was not one missing.

Geng gave all these people's indentures to her daughter, hoping that these people would be loyal to her until the end.

She was surrounded by a nanny and a maid who had grown up with her, and her indentures were still in Geng's hands.

What a huge difference!

The moment they saw the indenture, Nanny Sun and Chunzhi looked as pale as death.

"Madam, these dowries are the property of the Ji family. Do you need to discuss this with the master and his wife?" Nanny Sun asked with her neck stiff.

Ji Chuhe lowered her eyes and her gaze fell on Nanny Sun.

Still want to use Geng's to pressure her?

It's hopelessly stupid.

Nowadays, Geng has to bow when he sees her.

"Don't mention that I don't need to discuss the dowry with my family. Tomorrow I will sell Nanny Sun, and the decision will be mine alone." Ji Chuhe simply took out the indentureship of Nanny Sun.

Nanny Sun's breathing stagnated. Normally, the eldest daughter was very gentle, but after marrying into the palace, she seemed like a different person. She was really taking advantage of the power of her master!

"Madame Sun and Chunzhi are so disrespectful. Go kneel outside and reflect on your actions!"

Nanny Sun wanted to say something, but Chunzhi quickly pulled her back and shook her head at her.

The two men knelt in the yard, their hearts filled with anger.

"Look at her smug look!"

"Hush! Madam Sun, please be patient for now. The Second Miss will definitely take us back along with our dowry." Chunzhi advised in a low voice.

Inside the room, several other maids were still kneeling, not daring to make a sound.

Ji Chuhe's eyes fell on the youngest maid.

"Your name is Caiyue?"

"Madam, this servant is Caiyue."

"From today on, you will serve me."

"Yes!" Caiyue looked delighted. She had the lowest status among the dowry maids.

Seeing that Caiyue was left behind, the others also quickly expressed their loyalty.

"Madam, my name is Qiulian, and this is my sister Qiuying. We two will serve you loyally in the future!"

"Madam, your servant Caiyun will serve you wholeheartedly and loyally!"

"Everyone get up." Ji Chuhe raised his hand.

The few of them then slowly stood up and stood aside respectfully.

Now, Ji Chuhe holds their indentures, which is equivalent to holding their lives in his hands.

Ji Chuhe walked towards Qingluo and smiled, "Thank you Aunt Qingluo for tonight."

"You're welcome, ma'am." Qingluo responded politely.

"Early tomorrow morning, I will ask Caiyue to bring the dowry list to compile all my dowry into the warehouse. I also ask Aunt Qingluo to help connect with the steward of the palace."

Although the dowry belonged to Ji Chuhe privately, it was stored in the warehouse of the palace, and the steward of the palace also had to keep a list for future checking.

"Okay." Qingluo nodded in response.

"Thank you, aunt."

……

The next morning, the princess sat in front of the dressing table and Nanny Si helped her with her makeup personally.

"Princess, last night, the Crown Prince's wife punished the nanny and the maid who came with the dowry. She made them kneel in the yard all night." Nanny Si quickly told the princess the news she had heard.

"You only punished two servants?"

"Not only that, the Madam also broke the locks on all the dowry boxes. This morning, Qingluo took the stewards from the palace to count and put all the Madam's dowry into the warehouse."

A smile flashed in the princess' eyes. "She looks so quiet and gentle, I'm afraid she's a pushover."

"The matter of the wrong bridal sedan has been solved. It was Ji Qingyuan who got on the wrong bridal sedan. Ji Qingyuan's personal maid didn't even notice it. I'm afraid Ji Qingyuan did it on purpose! She also sealed the mouths of the servants. There was no movement in the bridal chamber at the Shen Mansion. It's obvious that they made the best of a bad situation and rushed to make a done deal!"

The princess's expression turned cold, "So, Ji Qingyuan despises the palace and is eager to marry into the Shen family!"

"Madam Shi Le must have noticed it a long time ago, and she didn't reveal her identity until the Crown Prince came to the bridal chamber." Nanny Si added in a low voice.

“Between the palace and the Shen family, anyone with a bit of brains knows how to choose! People go to high places and water flows to low places. She can take this opportunity to marry into the palace, and it is her destiny.” The princess naturally thought that Ji Chuhe was greedy for the status and wealth of the palace.

"The princess is right." Nanny Si quickly agreed.

"I like smart women, but if they use their intelligence in the wrong place, I will definitely not tolerate them!"

"Yes, nothing can escape the princess's eyes. What about Ji Qingyuan, how does the princess plan to deal with her?" Nanny Si asked in a low voice.

"Keep her for now."

The new emperor has been on the throne for several years, but he has not relaxed his vigilance regarding the enthronement of kings in various places.

If it weren't for the fact that her maternal family, the Rong family, was deeply favored by the new emperor, her and Prince Huaiyang's life would not have been easy.

The emperor personally appointed each county magistrate, which served as a check and balance between the emperor and the king.

She did not touch Ji Qingyuan. On the surface, she was making peace with the Ji family, which was also making peace with the emperor.

She wanted to marry the daughter of the Ji family. Besides the fact that her son was not ambitious and was devoted to the lowly maidservant who served the imperial concubine, she also had another reason in mind.

If I marry a noble lady from the imperial capital, it might arouse the emperor's suspicion.

The status of the Crown Prince's wife cannot be too high or too low, so the county magistrate's daughter becomes the best choice. It also shows the Emperor that Prince Huaiyang has no ulterior motives.

As for Ji Qingyuan, her good days are over!

At this time, a maid came in to report.

"Princess, the Crown Prince's wife is here to pay her respects to you."

"Let her in."

Ji Chuhe was summoned and walked slowly into the house.

According to normal rules, the newlyweds should offer tea to their parents-in-law early this morning.

However, she couldn't even see the prince, let alone have tea with him.

She washed and dressed early, asked Princess Qingluo what time she got up, and came to pay her respects to the princess first.

If the etiquette of serving tea remained unchanged, she would just follow the princess's arrangements.

If the tea ceremony was dispensed with, she also greeted the princess, and all the rules and etiquette were in place.

Now, she can only rely on herself to gain a foothold in this palace.

The situation in the Wang Mansion is much more complicated than that in the Shen Mansion.
