Ji Chuhe immediately pulled his hand back and took a few steps back in panic, "Prince, please respect yourself."

"I..." Xiao Yan'an was anxious, but didn't know how to describe it.

I opened my mouth, but didn't know how to explain.

"Prince, what are you doing? Men and women should not touch each other. Do you want to ruin our He'er's reputation?" Geng deliberately shouted loudly.

Destroy it, destroy it!

In this way, she wouldn't have to spend so much effort finding a husband for Ji Chuhe.

There is no way that the Huaiyang Palace would allow a young lady from a county governor's mansion to become the Crown Prince's wife.

Geng doesn't know what Princess Huaiyang is planning yet. She still thinks that the prince will definitely marry into a noble family in the imperial capital, or at worst, even a closer family with the Rongguo Mansion.

Xiao Yan'an saw through Geng's intention at a glance and kicked the washing basin, splashing water all over Geng.

Geng was startled and suppressed her anger, not daring to vent it on Xiao Yan'an, so she took it out on Ji Chuhe.

"Did you offend the prince?" she immediately questioned Ji Chuhe.

Without waiting for Ji Chuhe to answer, Xiao Yan'an pulled down Ji Chuhe's clothes and threw them towards Geng. The wet clothes stuck to Geng's body.

"The eldest daughter of the county magistrate's mansion is actually bullied by the second daughter and forced to do the work of a servant. Which mansion has such a rule? It is indeed the stepmother who cannot love the child because it is not her own child." Xiao Yan'an directly exposed Geng's true face.

He remembered it clearly. Geng always boasted to others how virtuous she was and how good she was to He'er. She said that although they were not his biological daughter, she was better than his.

Geng's face turned pale and she glared at Ji Chuhe fiercely.

"Prince, you misunderstood. Chu He loved her sister and took the initiative to wash her clothes."

Xiao Yan'an snatched the clothes from Geng's hands, "Look at the material of this dress, and then look at the material on He'er's body. Do you think this prince will believe your lies? You are a vicious stepmother!"

"Oh, Prince, you misunderstood me! I made new clothes for her, but she won't wear them! She's just a little girl, and she loves to wear these old-fashioned clothes all day long. I'm really suffering. It may be related to the fact that she was raised by the old lady. Prince, what you saw today may not be true. This girl has a lot of calculations in her mind. She just wants me to have a good reputation, so she does this on purpose. You can't be fooled by her."

Xiao Yan'an immediately looked towards Ji Chuhe, "He'er, I know what she said is not true. Don't worry, I will definitely make the decision for you! Tell me, how does she treat you on a daily basis."

Xiao Yan'an wanted Ji Chuhe to quickly defend himself.

With just one word from Ji Chuhe, Geng's family could be exposed, and he would have an excuse to deal with them.

However, Ji Chuhe remained standing there, and responded calmly, "Prince, you misunderstood."

"Look, Prince, look, she admitted it herself!" Geng immediately responded.

Xiao Yan'an only then realized how abrupt his behavior was. He was unable to react for a moment and still thought that he was the emperor and his word was final.

He'er didn't know him either. Didn't his behavior just now scare her?

Suddenly, Xiao Yan'an walked up to Ji Chuhe and kissed her on the cheek!

"Oh my God!" Geng exclaimed.

Not only Geng, but everyone present was equally surprised.

Ji Chuhe raised her hands to cover her cheeks and looked at the young man in front of her. No matter how patient she was and how well she controlled her emotions on a daily basis, she couldn't remain completely calm when faced with something like this.

He raised his hand and slapped Xiao Yanan!

Snapped!

This crisp sound frightened Geng so much that his legs went limp.

"You...you actually dared to hit His Royal Highness, Ji Chuhe, are you crazy?"

"I'll hit you, why are you yelling? I enjoy it! He'er, have you calmed down? How about you hit me a couple more times to calm down? No, don't do it. If you hit me, your hand will hurt. I'll hit you myself!"

After saying that, Xiao Yanan slapped himself hard on the cheek twice.

"Don't be afraid, He'er. You have to believe me. I do this for a reason. I will explain it to you slowly later."

After Xiao Yan'an coaxed Ji Chuhe, he turned around and looked at Geng, "Take good care of He'er. If she loses even a hair, I will never forgive you!"

After saying that, Xiao Yan'an swaggered out of the county magistrate's mansion.

Geng looked at Ji Chuhe, her eyes fixed on the place where Xiao Yanan had just kissed.

Ji Chuhe's face also turned a little red because of anger.

She knew what Geng was going to say next.

"Ji Chuhe, how did you hook up with the prince? You are so young and still a naughty boy. How come you only learn these lowly ways? Your grandmother is the only daughter of Qinghe Wang family, a family of scholars and upright people. How could she raise you to behave like this?" Geng ridiculed Ji Chuhe.

Ji Chuhe knew that she could not distinguish herself from Geng. After all, what Prince Xiao had just done was seen by everyone. However, she would never allow Geng to humiliate her grandmother!

"My grandmother has passed away for a long time. It's rare that you are still holding a grudge against her. Are you dissatisfied that she did not agree with my father marrying you? So, after she passed away, do you still want to throw dirty water on her?" Ji Chuhe retorted.

"You have done such a shameless thing, and yet you still dare to ridicule me with your sharp words! I think you are rebellious. Do you think I can't punish you? Come here, punish me according to the family rules!" Geng shouted.

Normally, if she wanted to cause trouble for Ji Chuhe, she had to find all kinds of excuses and didn't dare to beat him openly. But today, after something like this happened, even if she beat Ji Chuhe half to death, no one would dare to say she was wrong!

Ji Chuhe also saw through Geng's intention. If he wanted to avoid being beaten, he could only sacrifice his own reputation.

Compared with life, what is fame?

Anyway, she never thought about getting married.

Geng was the mistress of the mansion, and her marriage was decided by Geng. Geng could find her a good family to marry into.

"I wonder who dares to touch me!" Ji Chuhe said loudly.

Normally, she controlled her temper and everyone thought she was timid and cowardly, but unexpectedly, her sudden shouting frightened the servants.

"I have some friendship with Master Xiao. As you can see, he just said that if I lose even a hair, he will never let you off easily!"

"You finally admitted that you seduced Master Xiao! Fine, I won't punish you. When your father comes back, I'll see if he will strangle you to death with his own hands, you bastard who brought disgrace upon our family!"

Anyway, County Magistrate Ji will definitely not let this matter go.

It was only when I saw with my own eyes that Magistrate Ji beat Ji Chuhe to death that I felt relieved.

Ji Chuhe returned to his residence.

Nanny Ji and Mianzhu came over immediately.

"Miss, are you okay? Did the second lady bully you?" Mianzhu asked crying.
