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

"What's the matter, Madam Sheng?" Madam Chen asked immediately.

The rest of the people also pricked up their ears and waited for the follow-up.

"The pronunciation of one word in the Thousand Character Classic he taught was wrong!" Mrs. Sheng glared at Ji Qingyuan in annoyance.

"Thousand Character Classic, how can this be wrong?"

"Yeah, how could I tell a lie? I was the one who hired the gentleman. I feel ashamed to even say such a thing!"

"So outrageous!"

"It's just way off the mark!"

"Mr. Shen also calls himself a man of letters and is quite famous in Huaiyang!"

"You're pretty good at boasting!"

Geng's face was extremely ugly, and she wished there was a crack in the ground that she could crawl into immediately.

Ji Qingyuan wanted to refute but was pulled back by Geng.

Geng used her eyes to warn her not to talk nonsense anymore.

Didn’t you see that these people were deliberately mocking them in order to please Ji Chuhe?

Ji Qingyuan felt so wronged.

Did she offend these people?

Why are they all like mad dogs, eager to bite her!

"Mrs. Shen, I seem to have seen this dress you are wearing before. You wore it the last time you came to my house to attend a birthday party, right?" Mrs. Chen's voice rang out again.

Ji Qingyuan's heart suddenly tightened!

I'm really afraid of what's coming!

Geng never expected that even though she had been tolerant, these people were still not going to let them go!

"Madam Chen, you read it right. When I went to your house to attend the birthday banquet, I sat at the same table with Madam Ji. I also remember that Madam Shen was wearing this dress at that time! Is this the only dress that Madam Shen wears to show off?" After Madam Sheng finished speaking, she looked at Ji Qingyuan with contempt.

Ji Qingyuan's face felt hot!

"Mrs. Shen and Mr. Shen are indeed a match made in heaven. They look like a married couple. Even their poverty and sour taste are exactly the same."

"Mr. Shen is now living on Madam Shen's dowry. How can Madam Shen have the spare money to buy new clothes?"

"A blessed person will not enter a house without blessings, so our prince's wife married into the palace."

"Yes, yes."

These people are still making sarcastic remarks one after another!

Ji Qingyuan was about to explode with anger!

"Aren't you guys just trying to curry favor with Ji Chuhe? Such fawning faces are disgusting!"

"Geng, this is the good daughter you have taught! She is arrogant and talks back to her elders. What a good upbringing!" Mrs. Chen looked at Geng.

"Elders? What kind of elders are you?" Ji Qingyuan had lost her mind and just wanted to quarrel.

"Pa!" A slap hit Ji Qingyuan hard on the face.

Everyone was startled and looked at Nanny Si who suddenly appeared.

Even Ji Chuhe was surprised.

"How dare you! How can you act wildly in the palace!" Nanny Si shouted with a stern face.

Qingyuan was quite familiar with Nanny Si in the previous century, so she was not afraid in this life.

"They provoked me first!"

"Pa!" Another slap came down, "How dare you talk back!"

Ji Qingyuan's face was numb from being hit, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her lips.

"Geng, the daughter you taught really opened my eyes!" came the princess's majestic voice.

Everyone immediately stepped forward and saluted.

"See Princess."

"No need to formality." The princess's eyes swept over everyone one by one, her majesty evident without even being angry.

"He'er." She called out.

"Mother." Ji Chuhe walked forward and stood beside the princess.

"What happened?" the princess asked knowingly.

"Reporting to my mother, I was taking the ladies to appreciate this bonsai. Madam Shen's words offended me, and several ladies are correcting her words and actions." Ji Chuhe responded softly.

Ji Qingyuan opened her eyes wide in surprise. This Ji Chuhe is really good at acting cute!

She quickly clarified to the princess, "Princess, I didn't offend her!" She pointed at Ji Chuhe, "She slandered..."

"Pa!" Nanny Si raised her hand and slapped her again.

Ji Qingyuan looked incredulous, "Why did you hit me again?"

"You are disrespectful to the Crown Prince's wife, so a slap in the face is the least of your worries!" Nanny Si answered with reason and evidence.

Ji Qingyuan retracted her hand, still unwilling to accept.

"Princess, I didn't offend the Crown Prince's wife! The Crown Prince's wife said that this pine tree grew like this due to human intervention, but I said it grew like this naturally. It must be a rare sight that the Princess got, and she specially invited us to appreciate the flowers. How can this be considered offending the Crown Prince's wife?"

Ji Qingyuan confidently thought that what she said was correct.

Ji Chuhe chuckled and shook his head.

Even if Ji Qingyuan had never come into contact with artificial landscaping in the palace in her previous life, after being rescued from the sky prison by Shen Chengjing through a substitution in her previous life, Ji Qingyuan had seen the world, right?

It can be seen that her mind is really not on these things. She has never been the head of the household and has never taken care of the chores in the house.

"How can you be sure that it grew naturally? Where does your confidence come from that what you said is right? And you even say that you didn't mean to offend the Crown Prince's wife!" Madam Sheng added.

"That's right. Maybe he got used to bullying the Crown Prince's wife when he was in the Ji Mansion. He hasn't changed now and is still like this!"

"Yeah, don't you see who you are now? Do you think this is the Ji residence? Whatever you say is true!"

"Geng, do you know you are wrong?" The princess' tone was very stern.

Geng immediately knelt down and said, "Princess, calm down. It's all because of me who taught you poorly! Yuan'er, why don't you quickly apologize to the Crown Prince's wife and the other ladies?"

"I..." As soon as Ji Qingyuan opened her mouth, Geng pulled her down to her knees.

"I'm sorry." Ji Qingyuan said perfunctorily.

When Ji Chuhe saw this, he understood.

This flower-viewing banquet was probably held specially for her.

The princess must have known that she was beaten in the Ji Mansion, so she deliberately dealt with Geng and Ji Qingyuan.

When Ji Qingyuan remarried and trampled on the reputation of the palace, the princess was not so angry.

It would be a lie to say that I am not impressed.

A strange feeling surged in Ji Chuhe's heart, warm and filling her entire heart.

She has never seen her biological mother, and only her grandmother treats her sincerely.

But the Ji family was headed by Geng, and she didn't want the relationship between her grandmother and Geng to deteriorate because of her, so no matter how Geng treated her, she would compromise.

Now, the princess is supporting me with great fanfare. Even if she is my biological mother, she can only do so much.

The princess turned around, held Ji Chuhe's hand, and her expression suddenly became amiable.

"He'er is right. This pine tree is a rare thing brought back from the imperial capital by the royal caravan. It grew into this shape due to human intervention. This one is smaller and planted in a pot. If it grows bigger, it can be planted in the palace as a landscape." The princess clarified to everyone.

These words were like a slap in Ji Qingyuan's face.

Everyone's eyes fell on her again, all filled with contempt.

Ji Qingyuan's face turned pale, and she finally lowered her head, unable to bear so much malice.

The princess took Ji Chuhe's hand and walked to the main seat of the banquet.

"Please take a seat, everyone."

Everyone walked to the table and sat down one by one.

Only Ji Qingyuan and the kneeling Geng were left unmoved.

The two discovered a problem, it seemed that there was just enough space for them to sit, so the princess had not prepared any seats for them at all!

This flower-viewing banquet was held to humiliate them, right?

Geng guessed that the princess must be holding a grudge about the marriage exchange, and she took advantage of the fact that Ji Chuhe was beaten when she returned home to vent her anger. It would be difficult for the mother and daughter to escape today.

I'm afraid there are even greater difficulties waiting for them.
