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

Everyone has witnessed everything Ji Chuhe did after arriving in the imperial capital.

These young men, who seemed to be not valued by their families, not spent much effort in training, and were uneducated, had heard their elders talk about Ji Chuhe more than once.

Some even said frankly that if there was no Ji Chuhe, if only Crown Prince Xiao Yan'an had stayed in the imperial capital, he would have been eaten to the bone, and would not have been as prosperous as he is today.

Without Ji Chuhe, the Huaiyang Palace probably wouldn’t be in its current situation.

Marrying a woman like Ji Chuhe would definitely support the family and even benefit the entire family.

said with no exaggeration.

Just based on Ji Chuhe's current means and what she has accomplished, one person is equivalent to the efforts of three generations!

So, does it matter whether the marriage is consummated or not?

I'm not asking you to become a monk. You can still have countless beautiful concubines.

Where can I find such a good thing?

Therefore, everyone knows how much Xiao Yanan cherishes Ji Chuhe.

Wei Yu thought for a moment and took the opportunity to say, "I can completely understand your feelings, but you may not know that my sister has also been bullied by Ji Shi in the palace. Some time ago, my mother had someone grow some precious chrysanthemums and sent them to the palace for my sister, but they were all destroyed by Ji Shi. The emperor only symbolically confined her for a few days, but as soon as General Ji arrived in the imperial capital, he lifted her confinement."

"Is there such a thing?" Xiao Yan'an pretended to be surprised.

"Yes, the emperor forbad it to be publicized, and only the people in my house knew about it."

"This is too much! Ji Shuangshuang is so arrogant and domineering. General Ji and his wife have an unshirkable responsibility!" Xiao Yan'an said indignantly.

"General Ji? He's probably just worried that his daughter isn't arrogant enough."

"Didn't I hear a few days ago that the court was going to continue investigating the corruption case in the military? General Ji and General Nan came to the imperial capital to cooperate with the investigation. Have you heard any movement in the past few days?" Xiao Yan'an deliberately asked loudly.

"Will they continue the investigation? Looking at the current situation, I guess it's just a superficial act. They will definitely not investigate General Nan and General Ji like they did Chang Yi." Someone interrupted.

"If we don't investigate, the situation in the army won't change. Isn't it said that the people can't bear the heavy taxes?"

"Yes, even the people's taxes have been reduced. If we don't continue to investigate, where will the military pay come from?"

"These are all court affairs. Why should we worry about them?"

"That's right, that's right, come on, keep drinking."

"What does the court's affairs have to do with me? Ji Shuangshuang and I only have a personal grudge." Xiao Yan'an suddenly spoke.

"Your Highness is right. It's just a personal grudge." Wei Yu quickly agreed, and moved closer to Xiao Yan'an, saying in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Your Highness, although the Grand Empress Dowager has demoted Ji Shuangshuang's position, the Emperor is trying to win over General Ji, so he will definitely give Ji Shuangshuang enough respect. Even if she loses her status as a concubine, she will still be arrogant."

"The Crown Prince's wife will have to come to the palace frequently again. After what happened this time, Ji Shuangshuang must hate the Crown Prince's wife. If she wants to deal with the Crown Prince's wife again, I'm afraid the Crown Prince's wife won't have such a good chance to escape again."

"You're right. I'm worried about this too." Xiao Yan'an nodded slowly, expressing his concern.

"Sir, to be honest, my father has already sent people to secretly investigate General Ji's crimes. They will definitely find solid evidence. I'm just afraid that by then, the emperor will not be interested in investigating."

Xiao Yan'an seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he waved to Wei Yu and motioned him to come closer.

After hearing Xiao Yanan's whisper, Wei Yu's eyes lit up.

"This move of the prince is really brilliant!"

Xiao Yan'an waved his hand at him and said, "Go ahead and do it. Once you get this done, the emperor will have to investigate even if he doesn't want to."

"Okay!" Wei Yu immediately left the stage.

Xiao Yan'an looked at Wei Yu's anxious back, picked up the wine glass, and drank the wine in it.

……

General Ji and Madam Ji are still in the palace.

Hearing that their daughter had been severely punished in the palace, the two were so worried that they couldn't sleep the whole night.

"General, how could this happen? Shuangshuang has never suffered such a hardship since she was a child. We have never been willing to hit her. She was slapped thirty times and had to kneel for twelve hours. How could she bear it?" Mrs. Ji's eyes were swollen from crying.

"Don't cry. What else should I say to her when I saw her that day? Why didn't she listen? Why did you provoke Ji Chuhe?"

"You are still blaming your daughter! That vicious woman Ji Chuhe almost killed your daughter, and you haven't tried to save her yet. Instead of complaining here, why don't you go and plead with the emperor?"

General Ji felt a headache and looked at Mrs. Ji, not wanting to say another word.

"General, Madam, Princess Ning Xi is here." At this time, a report came from outside.

"Please come in." General Ji said immediately.

Princess Ning Xi walked in from outside.

She had just returned from the palace. General Ji had urgently found her and asked her to go to the palace to check on Ji Shuangshuang's condition.

When she saw Ji Shuangshuang's miserable appearance, she didn't feel pity for her at all.

Fortunately, she stopped herself from placing her hopes on General Ji's family and instead formed an alliance with Ji Chuhe.

This was the wisest decision she had ever made in her life.

"Princess, how is Shuangshuang?" Mrs. Ji held Princess Ning Xi's hand and asked anxiously.

"Aunt, I have seen Shuangshuang. She is fine. Although she was demoted to a talented lady, the emperor personally ordered people to serve her, so she was not treated harshly or neglected."

When Mrs. Ji heard this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then she complained again.

"No wonder Shuangshuang doesn't want to stay in the palace. I just now realized that the palace is so dangerous! General, please think of a way to save us from the fire."

"Don't speak first!" General Ji said loudly.

Mrs. Ji felt very aggrieved, but seeing General Ji's ugly face, she dared not open her mouth.

"Thank you, Princess Ning Xi, for coming to the palace to see Shuangshuang. Now that I know about her condition, I feel relieved." General Ji thanked Princess Ning Xi politely.

"This is what I should do. If there is nothing else, I'll take my leave first." Princess Ning Xi said goodbye directly.

General Ji did not try to keep Princess Ning Xi and had her sent away.

As soon as Princess Ning Xi left, the people sent by Xiao Wenxuan arrived.

"General, the Emperor has asked me to tell you something. The Empress Dowager is deliberately taking this opportunity to punish Ji Cairen, to dampen the Emperor's spirit and slap you in the face. The Emperor told you not to worry, he will take good care of Ji Cairen, and the status of Cairen is only temporary. As soon as the Empress Dowager loses power, the Emperor will make Cairen the Empress."

"Thank you for the message, eunuch. Please reply to the emperor that I understand."

Originally, General Ji still had a choice, but this incident suddenly forced him to have no other choice.

His eyes dimmed and a new thought came into his mind.
