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

Shen Chengjing recently received a big order.

Shen Chengjing met a traveling merchant from another place who needed large quantities of Huaiyang's local specialties.

He felt that he had hit upon a stroke of luck!

He would use all the money he earned these days to buy goods. Once he had raised enough money to become a traveling merchant, he would make a lot of money!

With such a sum of money, it was enough for him to leave Huaiyang and settle in the imperial capital.

Ji Qingyuan also knew about this and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Husband, we don't know the details of this traveling merchant. Will we be deceived by him?"

Shen Chengjing was now so hot-headed that he could not listen to any opposing voices.

"What could he possibly lie to us about? Besides, I just happened to meet him and helped him a little, which is why I found out that he was a traveling merchant!"

"If someone else had met him first, I wouldn't have gotten this huge fortune! The goods are in our hands, and I'm doing a business where we pay for the goods and we're done with them. How could there be any problem?"

Ji Qingyuan wanted to speak again, but was blocked by Shen Chengjing, "Didn't you also say that I am a child of destiny, and I will be second to none in the future? Naturally, I will have different opportunities in my life."

"But I always feel uneasy."

"You have long hair but little knowledge. Don't you want to leave Huaiyang as soon as possible? Once the goods are handed over to this traveling merchant, we will leave Huaiyang and go to the imperial capital immediately."

Why doesn't Ji Qingyuan want to leave! Going to distribute porridge every day is simply a torture for her.

Not only did she listen to people praising Ji Chuhe every day, but while those people were praising Ji Chuhe, they always remembered to step on her. She heard all the unpleasant words they said.

"Mr. Shen!" someone called from outside.

"Coming, coming!" Shen Chengjing walked out immediately.

"The goods you want are already prepared. However, you have to pay some cash for so much goods. Otherwise, I won't be able to report to my boss." The person who came was the owner of the cloth shop, who looked at Shen Chengjing with embarrassment.

"Shopkeeper Wang, I am the son-in-law of County Magistrate Ji, and County Magistrate Ji is behind me. How can I refuse to pay my debt? You see, I have such a big business, it is normal that I can't make ends meet for a while. I just need these few goods from you. I will pay you all the money in one lump sum within three days at the latest, okay?"

"For the sake of Magistrate Ji, I believe you! However, the payment must be made within three days. Here is the receipt. If you find no problem, please sign it. I have to go do other things."

Shen Chengjing turned around to check the goods, and signed after confirming that they were correct. "Wang Shanggui, goodbye."

"See you later!" Shopkeeper Wang waved his hand and strode away.

Shen Chengjing immediately ordered the servants in the yard to load all the goods into the car, and he went ahead to Yunlai Inn.

The traveling merchant he knew lived in Room No. 1 of the Yunlai Inn.

You can tell at first glance that he is very wealthy.

Whenever Shen Chengjing discussed business with the traveling merchant, they would go directly to Room No. 1.

Today, he knocked on the door as usual.

Unexpectedly, the door was not bolted and opened with a slight push.

The inn's maid was tidying the room inside.

"Sir, are you a new guest? The room has not been cleaned yet. Please wait a moment."

Shen Chengjing's brain buzzed, and he immediately grabbed the maid who was cleaning, "Where is the guest who stayed here before? That foreign businessman who has been living here!"

"That guest checked out last night."

"Where did he go?" Shen Chengjing asked immediately.

"Young man, please let go of your hand first!" The servant woman was hurt and shouted unhappily.

Shen Chengjing held on tighter, with a hint of anger flashing in his eyes, "Tell me, where did he go!"

"Someone come! This is molesting you!" The servant girl didn't tolerate him and shouted at him at the top of her voice.

In an instant, the door was full of people pointing at Shen Chengjing.

"This guy looks very handsome, why does he have this habit?"

“You can’t tell a person by his appearance!”

"Tsk tsk tsk, the world is going downhill."

"Isn't this Shen Chengjing, Master Shen? Magistrate Ji's son-in-law!"

Facing everyone's gazes, Shen Chengjing's face turned red. He quickly let go of the servant, went downstairs, and came to the counter to ask the waiter.

"Waiter, do you know where the guest who stayed in Room No. 1 went yesterday?" Shen Chengjing asked anxiously.

"I don't know. We are an inn with people coming and going. How can we know the whereabouts of the guests?" The waiter rolled his eyes at him unhappily.

Shen Chengjing could only reluctantly take out a piece of silver from his pocket and said, "Did they say anything when they checked out? If you know where they went, tell me. You will definitely benefit from it."

The waiter immediately grabbed the silver and said casually, "They may have left the city."

Shen Chengjing ran out immediately.

The waiter weighed the silver in his hand.

The traveling merchant was a foreigner. After leaving the shop, he left the city. What else could he do?

You know, in the whole city, their inn is the largest and most luxurious.

He made so much money just by saying it casually, it’s so cool!

Shen Chengjing ran to the city gate in one breath.

Looking at the people coming in and out of the city, I felt a mixture of emotions.

He spent some money to ask the guards of the city, but found nothing!

This traveling merchant seemed to have disappeared out of thin air!

Shen Chengjing only now realized that he had really been deceived!

……

Ji Qingyuan and Geng were still distributing porridge when someone from the Ji residence suddenly came looking for them and asked them to return home quickly.

In the carriage, Geng looked confused.

"What happened? Why did you suddenly ask us to return home?"

Ji Qingyuan felt a little guilty and had a vague feeling that this matter was related to Shen Chengjing.

"Mother, don't worry, maybe it's not a big deal." She responded softly.

Geng glared at her immediately, "It's not a big deal to call us back? We were punished by the princess herself for distributing porridge! Can you use your brains?"

Ever since the porridge was distributed, Geng had never given Ji Qingyuan a good look.

Ji Qingyuan didn't dare to make a sound and shrank into a corner of the carriage.

"What is Shen Chengjing doing recently?" Geng bit her gums when she mentioned Shen Chengjing.

The rice used for the porridge every day was delivered by Shen Chengjing, and he didn't ask her for a penny less!

For the sake of her daughter, she had been enduring it. After all, they were already married, and she still hoped that her daughter could live a better life.

"He just stays in the shop and does business." Ji Qingyuan's voice became even lower.

"He'd better not do anything weird to me!"

When the carriage stopped at the gate of Ji's house, they heard shouting outside.

Geng lifted the car curtain and looked out.

Dozens of people were shouting outside the government gate, holding documents in their hands.

Before she could react, she was discovered and these people immediately surrounded the carriage.

"Pay back the money! Pay back the money! Pay back the money!" everyone shouted in unison.

Geng immediately lowered the curtains and said, "What money do you want to pay back? When has our Ji family ever owed anyone money?"

Ji Qingyuan didn't even dare to look up.

Geng looked at Ji Qingyuan's reaction and immediately became furious.

"Is it Shen Chengjing? What on earth did he do? Tell me everything right away! If you dare to hide a word, I will beat you to death!" Geng shouted angrily!

"Mother!" Ji Qingyuan knelt directly in front of Geng.
