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

Xiao Yan'an ran out of the palace and did not return to Sihuitang. He had more important things to do.

"Prince, wait for me, aren't you going back to Sihuitang? Where are you going now?" Tianxi chased after him quickly.

Xiao Yan'an ran all the way to the outside of the county magistrate's mansion.

With his status as a prince, it was not difficult for him to enter the county governor's mansion.

However, Ji Chuhe was in the inner house, so it would be difficult for him to see Ji Chuhe.

Suddenly, he saw a horse-drawn carriage loaded with vegetable baskets passing through the main gate of the county magistrate's mansion and heading towards the back door.

Xiao Yan'an immediately chased after him, and while the driver wasn't paying attention, he jumped into the vegetable basket.

Tianxi was petrified on the spot when he saw his master's behavior.

He could only raise his hand and cover his mouth tightly to stop himself from shouting out the word "Prince" loudly.

What's going on, Prince?

A few days ago, I was so excited about the coming of a cousin to my house that I couldn't sleep for several nights. I kept thinking about what this little cousin looked like, what her personality was like, and whether I could get along with her.

As a result, today he ran back to the palace from Sihui Hall on purpose, only to take a look at the little cousin, and completely lost his previous clinginess, and even drove her out of the palace. Then, the prince got into the carriage that was delivering food to the county governor's mansion and sneaked into the county governor's mansion. Tianxi couldn't understand the prince's behavior.

The prince entered the county magistrate's mansion. He didn't dare to go anywhere else and could only wait anxiously outside the mansion.

Xiao Yan'an successfully entered the county magistrate's mansion and hid from place to place before arriving at the inner courtyard.

Fortunately, he is still young, not very tall, and agile, otherwise he would have been discovered long ago.

Suddenly, he saw a bright figure standing in the yard. She was not very old and her attire showed that she was a young lady from the mansion.

Is it Ji Chuhe?

Xiao Yanan's heart started beating wildly!

Soon Xiao Yan'an realized that something was wrong.

The young lady looked aggressive and was directing a maid who was wearing dark-colored clothes to do her work.

"The fabric of my clothes is very valuable. Please wash it for me and rub it gently. If you rub it, I will not forgive you."

It’s Ji Qingyuan.

Xiao Yan'an just felt unlucky.

How come I ran into her as soon as I came in?

He was about to leave when he suddenly stopped and moved closer to the two people. He realized that the maid in dark clothes was the Ji Chuhe he was looking for.

Looking closely, she was so thin, and her face still had a hint of childishness.

Her skin was very white, but it was an abnormally white skin. She was the eldest daughter of a county magistrate's family, but she looked like a child from a famine!

No wonder he didn't recognize her at first sight.

He just knew that Ji Chuhe was not having a good time in the County Magistrate's Mansion.

However, she never expected that she would have to do the work of a servant.

I also have to help Ji Qingyuan wash clothes!

Ji Chuhe washed the clothes carefully while speaking. Ji Qingyuan promised her that as long as she finished washing the clothes, she would not bother her again for the whole day, and she could go to the library to read quietly.

Thinking of this, she quickened her hand movements.

"Ji Chuhe, do you want to die? Who told you to rub so hard? Do you know how to wash clothes? If you ruin them, I will not let my mother punish you!" Ji Qingyuan pushed Ji Chuhe hard.

Ji Chuhe fell off the small stool.

She said nothing, sat down again and continued to wash the clothes.

But Ji Qingyuan did not let her go. She scolded her for being too strong, and then scolded her for not having eaten. She also attacked her from time to time, either pushing Ji Chuhe or twisting her hard.

Xiao Yanan clenched his hands in anger.

He turned around, picked up a small stone on the ground, flicked it with his fingertips, and hit Ji Qingyuan on the back of the head.

"Ah!" Ji Qingyuan cried out in pain, "Who threw a stone at me?"

When she turned around, there was no one behind her.

The maid next to her didn't notice it either.

Ji Qingyuan reached out and touched the place where she was hit and was hurt, and there was a trace of blood on her fingertips.

"Blood! My head is bleeding." Ji Qingyuan shouted in panic.

In an instant, the maids and old women surrounded them.

"Quick, go get the palace doctor for the young lady, and inform the lady that no one in this courtyard is allowed to leave. Someone must have deliberately hurt the young lady!"

These people surrounded Ji Qingyuan and left.

Ji Chuhe just looked up and then lowered her head to wash clothes.

However, she stopped rubbing it, picked it up, rinsed it with clean water, and hung it on the clothesline.

After washing her hands, she prepared to leave.

"Stop, the second young lady was injured just now. No one is allowed to leave this yard." A guard blocked Ji Chuhe's way.

"The Second Miss said that as long as I finish washing the clothes, I can leave. Her injury has nothing to do with me. Why can't I leave?" Ji Chuhe asked back.

Her tone was very soft, but to the ears of the guards, it sounded a bit oppressive.

However, they are not afraid of Miss Ji Chuhe.

In the past, when the old lady was still alive, the people in the mansion would more or less regard Ji Chuhe as the master. But after the old lady passed away, Ji Chuhe, the eldest lady, lived worse than a maid.

"Miss, please wait a little longer. It won't be too late to leave until the second lady says you can leave." The guards refused to let Ji Chuhe leave.

Ji Chuhe had no choice but to turn around and go back.

Xiao Yan'an felt extremely distressed when he saw this scene.

He couldn't let her live like this, not even for a day.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps.

Geng walked in aggressively.

When he saw Ji Chuhe, he raised his hand towards Ji Chuhe.

Ji Chuhe had already gotten used to it, but this time, Geng's slap did not fall.

"Ah!" Geng screamed and grabbed her wrist.

It was a stone that attacked Geng.

It’s even bigger than the one that Ji Qingyuan was hit with just now.

Geng's hand quickly swelled up, and it looked like she was seriously injured.

"Who is it!" Geng looked around and asked loudly.

"Ji Chuhe, did you have someone hide on purpose to attack us mother and daughter? Do you think that I can't catch him because he's hiding in the dark? When I catch him and catch him red-handed, you can ask your father to deal with you personally!"

"I am responsible for my own actions. It has nothing to do with her." Xiao Yan'an walked out slowly.

When Geng saw Xiao Yan'an, she felt that he looked familiar. However, she was angry and started to question him, "Where did you come from, you little bastard? How dare you break into the county governor's mansion!"

"I am the Young Master Xiao, how dare you insult me!" Xiao Yan'an acted like a young master.

Geng suddenly remembered.

No wonder it looks familiar!

It turned out to be Prince Xiao!

"Greetings, Prince." Geng immediately bowed.

"Prince, why are you in the County Magistrate's Mansion? What's the matter with you?"

Xiao Yan'an ignored her and walked directly to Ji Chuhe and grabbed Ji Chuhe's hand.

"He'er, follow me."
