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

"Prince, we don't know each other, why do you suddenly treat me like this?" Ji Chuhe asked directly.

"You don't know me. In fact, I have known you for a long time, and I have liked you for a long time." Xiao Yan'an looked at the little Ji Chuhe in front of him, his eyes full of love.

Ji Chuhe felt very uncomfortable under his gaze, "Prince, how old are you? How can you speak so credibly?"

What she meant was that she didn't believe a word he said.

"I know you definitely don't believe what I say now, but I will spend my whole life proving it." Xiao Yan'an said and opened the lunch box.

"You're sure to like these, try them now."

This was the pastry that Ji Chuhe liked in his previous life. Although the chef of the palace came from the imperial capital, he was unable to make this kind of pastry at that time.

This was made by Xiao Yanan himself, and the cook was just helping him.

Ji Chuhe didn't take it, so Xiao Yan'an kept holding it. After a while, he couldn't stand it anymore.

He still has injuries on his body.

Seeing him like this, Ji Chuhe took the snack and asked, "What's wrong with you? Is your arm injured?"

Xiao Yan'an directly opened his clothes and showed her the wound.

"You!" Ji Chuhe was completely speechless.

"My mother beat me because I kissed you. She whipped me with a horsewhip. My skin was torn and it hurt so much."

He is the crown prince, yet Princess Huaiyang had the heart to punish him.

Ji Chuhe's anger suddenly dissipated a lot, and he even felt a little favorable towards Princess Huaiyang.

There are really not many mothers who don't spoil their children and beat them whenever they want.

Especially someone like Xiao Yanan.

Xiao Yan'an didn't know what Ji Chuhe was thinking at this moment.

If he knew, he would be so angry that he would die.

Not only did he not feel sympathy from her after being beaten like this, but it made him admire his mother again.

"He'er, please don't misunderstand me. I'm not that kind of dissolute playboy. I'm a gentleman!" Xiao Yan'an praised himself.

In his previous life, he had been steadfast all his life and had never done anything out of line to her.

Isn't this considered a gentleman?

Ji Chuhe didn't answer, but after chatting for a while, she felt much more relaxed and lowered her head to take a bite of the pastry in her hand.

Seeing her eating the cake, Xiao Yanan asked excitedly, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

"Yeah." Ji Chuhe nodded.

"I know you don't like things that are too sweet, so I added a little bit of maltose."

She really doesn't eat anything too sweet.

It’s not that I don’t like eating them, but when I eat these sweet things, I always feel more bitter in my heart.

"I've never had this kind of snack before. How can you be sure that I will like it?"

"He'er, do you believe in past lives and present lives?"

Ji Chuhe looked at him in surprise.

At this moment, she really felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Master Xiao's brain.

"He'er, believe me, our fate was destined in the previous life. Let's continue our relationship in this life." There was sincerity in Xiao Yan'an's eyes.

Ji Chuhe had only one thought in his mind, he couldn't understand Xiao Yanan's words and actions.

……

Soon, Geng's actions backfired.

This matter involved the reputation of the prince. The princess did not sit idly by. After some investigation, she found the source of the spread of the news.

Detain these people immediately.

After Geng learned the news, she was not panicked at all, but took the initiative to meet the princess.

Princess Huaiyang was sitting in the palace, with several old women, servants and maids kneeling in front of her. They were all from the county governor's mansion.

As soon as they entered the palace, they were almost scared to death.

I thought the princess was going to punish them for the sake of the prince's reputation, but unexpectedly, the princess asked questions about the eldest lady.

Faced with the princess's majesty, they dared not lie and told her everything about how Geng had tortured the eldest daughter after Madam Ji's death.

"Isn't this Geng afraid of retribution for torturing a child like this?" The princess was really angry.

At this moment, Qingluo came in and reported to the princess: "Princess, the wife of Ji County Magistrate Geng wants to see you."

"Let her in."

Not long after, Geng was brought before the princess.

"Your servant Geng pays respect to the princess." Geng stepped forward and saluted with a smile.

"Mrs. Ji, why did you come to see me?" the princess asked deliberately.

Geng glanced at the people kneeling in the hall and thought to herself that the princess asked this deliberately because she wanted to see her performance.

After all, the news that spread out also hurt the prince's reputation.

However, she has a plan for dealing with it.

As long as all the responsibility is put on Ji Chuhe, the princess will only be jealous of Ji Chuhe and will not cause trouble for her.

"Princess, I came here this time because of what happened in the county governor's mansion two days ago. I'm sure you've heard those rumors. It was because I failed to control my servants that the news leaked out and affected the reputation of the prince. I really deserve to die."

"I have figured out the truth of the matter. It was my fault that I failed to discipline my child. I don't know when Ji Chuhe hooked up with the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is simple-minded and helpful. Ji Chuhe saw this and deceived him. Ji Chuhe has already admitted to me that she took the initiative to hook up with the Crown Prince."

"Princess, I have my own difficulties. After all, Ji Chuhe is not my biological daughter. She has been raised by Madam Ji since she was a child. She has always looked down on me as her stepmother. If I discipline her too harshly, others will gossip about her. If I discipline her too lightly, it will have no effect at all given Ji Chuhe's personality."

"However, please rest assured, Princess. I will handle this matter properly."

Ren Geng spoke in an exaggerated manner, but the princess just smiled slightly.

"Madam Ji, I just heard from your servants that when Madam Ji passed away, she left a dowry for He'er. Excuse me, have you seen this dowry list?"

Geng's face froze, "Princess, I don't know what dowry is!"

"Really? That's really strange. The old lady must have left it there, but it disappeared. We need to investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Princess, this is a matter within the county governor's residence. When I return, I will investigate it thoroughly to see what exactly happened."

"No, I plan to adopt He'er as my goddaughter. Her affairs are my affairs. I will go with Madam Ji today and personally accompany Madam Ji to investigate this matter. I must get to the bottom of it." After the princess finished speaking, she stood up and walked out.

Qingluo looked at Geng who was standing there in a daze and urged her directly, "Madam, the princess has left, why are you still standing there?"

Geng gritted her teeth secretly and followed immediately.

The princess went to the county magistrate's mansion.

Qingluo immediately arranged for people to spread the news.
