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

"It doesn't hurt. I feel so happy and blessed to be hugged by my mother." The queen mother also shed tears.

"I'll sing your favorite ballad for you, okay?"

"it is good."

The Empress Dowager hummed a song that she used to sing to sleep as a child, and the Empress Dowager slowly closed her eyes.

I don't know how much time had passed before the Empress Dowager suddenly realized something and looked down into her arms.

The corner of Tai***'s lips was slightly raised, but there was a tear mark at the corner of her eye.

The Empress Dowager reached out her hand to touch the nose of the Empress Dowager.

In an instant, tears burst into my eyes.

She did not move, nor did she call for help, but continued to hold her grandmother and hum a ballad.

……

As soon as it was daybreak, Mianzhu hurried into Ji Chuhe's bedroom and drew up the curtains on the bed.

"Madam, the queen has passed away."

Ji Chuhe immediately sat up from the bed and said, "Hurry up and wash and dress me."

"Yes."

The lights in the east wing opposite also came on.

Princess Huaiyang also received the news.

They all had to go to mourn for the Queen Mother as quickly as possible.

The queen mother has been sent to the princess's mansion.

When Ji Chuhe and Princess Huaiyang arrived, the road was already full of carriages.

The princess's mansion was hung with white silk everywhere, and the atmosphere was filled with mournful silence.

As members of the royal family, Ji Chuhe and Princess Huaiyang could not leave once they arrived at the princess's mansion, and had to wait until the day of the mausoleum's burial.

Although the Queen Mother was also buried in the imperial mausoleum, her mausoleum had already been built. She did not need to wait like the late emperor. She could be buried after completing all the procedures.

Ji Chuhe and Princess Huaiyang stayed there for eleven days.

Tai***'s funeral was just over.

The two returned home again, both of them had lost weight.

Ji Chuhe had just taken a shower and changed her clothes when Mianzhu came to report that someone was looking for her.

She was brought before her, with a veil on her face.

But Ji Chuhe still recognized it at the first sight.

"Susu!"

"Susu greets the madam." Susu bowed immediately.

Ji Chuhe knew about Susu's entire plan, and even gave some suggestions.

However, the result of the plan was that after Susu was killed in the explosion and escaped, she immediately returned to Huaiyang.

"Why didn't you go back to Huaiyang? Is there anything else that you haven't finished?" Ji Chuhe asked in confusion.

Susu took off her veil, and there were still unhealed scars on her face. Because of her fake death, she was really buried by Xiao Wenxuan. The wounds on her face were not treated in time, resulting in severe ulceration and ruining her appearance.

"Madam, my appearance has been ruined. If I change my usual dress, no one will recognize me. I don't want to go back to Huaiyang. I want to stay with you and obey your orders for the rest of my life."

Ji Chuhe walked forward and looked at Susu's face.

It's such a pity that such a beautiful face was ruined like this.

"Women always cherish their appearance. How can you be so cruel as to ruin your appearance like this?" Ji Chuhe's tone was full of pity.

Su Su's eyes flashed with shock, "Madam, you..."

"You ruined your face yourself, right?" Ji Chuhe saw through it.

"Madam, I destroyed my appearance just to stay by your side, and I don't want to cause you any trouble, so please accept me!"

"Why are you so stupid? Didn't I tell you not to do anything that would hurt yourself? You can go back to Huaiyang and hide for a while, and then follow me later. It will be the same. Why destroy your appearance? You have to ruin such a beautiful face!"

"Madam, I don't think there's anything to be sorry about with this face. In order to be able to stay with you openly in the future, I am willing to destroy it. Moreover, I must not bring any hidden dangers to you because of my face. I have been with Xiao Wenxuan for so many years, there is no guarantee that no one will remember me." Susu solved all her worries in one fell swoop.

"Madam, do you think I'm ugly? Don't worry, I don't expect to serve you. If you don't want to see me, just give me an errand. I will never appear in front of you on my own initiative."

"Don't panic. I won't abandon you. Just stay by my side and serve me. Stay in my courtyard."

"Really? Madam is willing to keep me?" Susu was so excited that she couldn't express it in words.

"However, the wound on your face has not healed yet, so you need to treat it well. No matter what the result is after recovery, you can't suffer." Ji Chuhe advised softly.

"Yes, I will listen to you, madam."

"Mianzhu, you should call me Su first..." Ji Chuhe paused, "Since you have changed your appearance, you can't call me Su Su anymore. I will give you a new name."

"it is good."

"Jin means beautiful jade. It's a good word. Let's call her Jin'er from now on." Ji Chuhe thought of this word immediately.

"Jin'er thanks Madam for the name."

"Mianzhu, take Jin'er downstairs to rest first. You and Xiangzhu should take good care of her these days. Also, announce to the public that Jin'er is Xiangzhu's distant relative who has come to seek refuge. I will have Huaiyang arrange Jin'er's identity."

"Yes." Mianzhu took Jin'er's hand, "Jin'er, let's take you downstairs first, and then we'll go see Xiangzhu."

Ji Chuhe looked at the two people leaving and took a deep breath.

The funeral of the Grand Empress Dowager has been completed, and next, the Grand Empress Dowager will definitely show her skills.

During this period, Chang Ru was not idle either. She had to mourn for the Queen Mother's funeral, just like Ji Chuhe, Princess Huaiyang.

She was pregnant, and it was in the first trimester, and she almost couldn't bear it.

After returning to the palace, she directly asked for the imperial physician.

"Your Majesty, you have been overworked in recent days, and the fetus is a little unstable. From now on, you must rest well. It is best to rest in bed. Don't let your emotions fluctuate too much, otherwise it will affect the fetus." The imperial physician whispered.

"I understand." Chang Ru nodded and couldn't help but touch her belly.

When she first became pregnant, she felt nothing.

Now, she actually had a wonderful feeling from time to time, and could feel this living little life.

Prince Huaiyang has gone to investigate the case of corrupt military commander Jun Xiang. The Empress Dowager did not even last three months and died. She could not protect Chang Yi.

Therefore, the child in her belly became her last hope.

He must be a prince!

What she has to do now is to protect herself and her child and not make any mistakes.

Xiao Wenxuan has never come to Chang Ru's place since Su Su's death.

As soon as the court was over, he returned to Cuiwei Palace.

I heard that he also favored a person whose back looked very plain.

Chang Ru couldn't understand.

Why could Xiao Wenxuan tolerate such betrayal?

Soon, she knew why!

"Empress! The Queen Mother was furious and arrested a bunch of people at once, saying that they were the remnants of the former Queen's subordinates!" The nanny walked in quickly and reported the situation to Chang Ru.
