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

In this life, Shen Chengjing's life will undergo earth-shaking changes compared to his previous life.

Wasn't he always pretentious in his previous life?

In this life, with his own abilities, let's see how extraordinary he can be.

Ji Chuhe picked up a cup of fine tea and took a sip.

There was a knock on the door.

Chunsheng came in with four people and bowed to Ji Chuhe.

"Miss."

The four people beside him immediately knelt down respectfully and followed Chunsheng in calling her "Miss".

Ji Chuhe raised his hand, and Mianzhu immediately closed the window to block out the sound from outside.

The four people in front of me looked timid and were all young.

Three boys and one girl, wearing coarse linen clothes and with dark skin, they looked like children who had suffered hardships since childhood.

Chunsheng suddenly knelt down.

"Miss, they were my former companions in the martial arts world. Their master could not afford to support them and abandoned them. I was fortunate to enter the Ji Mansion and receive a small amount of money every month. We have been relying on this money to survive until now. They have some skills in the martial arts world. They have made great contributions in setting up the trap for Shen Chengjing this time. Can you please keep them? They can do any hard work. I assure you, they are just orphans who have lost their relatives and are helpless. Their life experience is absolutely innocent."

After Chunsheng finished speaking, the little girl kneeling at the back slowly stood up, walked in front of Ji Chuhe, and stretched out her clenched fist in front of Ji Chuhe.

Ji Chuhe was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.

"Ya Ya, don't be rude!" one of the boys shouted anxiously.

"It's okay." Ji Chuhe didn't blame him, but asked softly: "What do you mean?"

"Miss, blow it."

Ji Chuhe blew gently on her fist. The little girl stretched out her hand and a beautiful flower appeared in her palm.

"Wow!" Ji Chuhe exclaimed.

"Miss, this is for you." Yaya said shyly.

Ji Chuhe took the flower, put it to her nose and sniffed it, then nodded with a smile, "It smells so good."

She couldn't help but reach out and rub the girl's head, "Thank you."

The girl smiled shyly.

"Chunsheng, I've kept them all. Their monthly salary will be the same as yours now. Also, starting this month, your monthly salary will be the same as the shop owner's."

Chunsheng was a little confused. The shopkeeper outside earned five taels of silver a month!

This is a huge sum of money for him!

When he realized what was happening, he immediately kowtowed to Ji Chuhe, "Thank you, Miss!"

The remaining few people also hurriedly followed suit and kowtowed, "Thank you Miss for taking us in!"

"Chunsheng, you don't have to go back to the palace to work anymore. Pay more attention in the city these days. I want to buy a few more shops and add some assets."

"Yes, ma'am."

"They will just follow you for now."

"Yes!" Chunsheng responded immediately.

Ji Chuhe now earns a considerable amount of money every month.

Within five years after Huaiyang implements military service reform, people's lives will be greatly improved.

In her previous life, when she was living the hardest days in the imperial capital, she met a traveling merchant and heard him talk about the changes in Huaiyang. It sounded like it was on par with some wealthy cities.

Traveling merchants can all make money, and those who seize the opportunity of Huaiyang's changes will definitely make more.

In this life, she must seize these opportunities.

……

Ji Cheng's handling result was almost the same as Ji Chuhe's guess.

Shen Chengjing owed nearly two thousand taels of silver in foreign debt.

Moreover, there are more than fifty creditors, and there are countless eyes staring at Shen Chengjing in the entire Huaiyang City.

If someone didn’t see him for a day, they would probably search the entire city to find him.

Ji Cheng even instructed the guards not to allow Shen Chengjing to leave the city.

This city is like a large prison for Shen Chengjing.

Shen Chengjing had to take turns working in the shop he owed money to pay off his debts.

Now, he is carrying rice and flour in a grain store.

I struggled to carry a bag of rice on my shoulders, but after a few steps, I couldn't hold on any longer and fell backwards uncontrollably! The white rice fell to the ground and spilled all over the floor!

"Shen Chengjing!" The shopkeeper ran over with a fierce look on his face and slapped his thigh, "Oh my! My rice! How can you be so stupid that you can't even carry a piece of rice! Forget about your wages today!"

"The rice bag is too heavy, I can't lift it. I didn't fall down on purpose. How can you deduct my wages?" Shen Chengjing argued.

"How dare you quibble! Is your salary enough to compensate me for my rice?"

"If you don't pay me, I won't work today!" Shen Chengjing was also a little angry.

The shopkeeper turned around, picked up the carrying pole beside him and hit Shen Chengjing with it!

"Who do you think you are? How dare you yell at me? If you keep doing this, when will you be able to pay me back?"

"You actually hit me! I'm not your servant! If you hit me again, I'll go to the government office and sue you!"

"Go, go! I wonder if the government office will pay any attention to someone like you with evil intentions! Hurry up and get up and work! Otherwise, I'll break your legs!" The shopkeeper was still not satisfied and raised the carrying pole in his hand.

Shen Chengjing immediately shrank back and swallowed his saliva in a cowardly manner.

"No wonder they say scholars are weak as a kite, it's true! Useless!" The shopkeeper cursed angrily and turned around to do other things.

Shen Chengjing had been doing hard labor for a whole day and was exhausted.

After finally returning to the new mansion, he found the door locked and his things packed into a small bundle thrown at the door.

How is this going?

He looked around in confusion.

Someone heard him come back and opened the door to see what was going on.

“This is being kicked out!”

"I really don't know what's wrong with the second daughter of the Ji family. She has to marry a man like this!"

Shen Chengjing sat tiredly on the steps in front of the door. He was so tired that he couldn't even move a step. Not long after, he fell asleep with his bag in his arms.

Geng not only took back the house he had purchased, but also took back the shop.

Ji Qingyuan's mood now is as if she is suffering in a raging fire.

"Are you willing to divorce Shen Chengjing? Tell me the truth!" Geng asked angrily from the side.

"So what if we're divorced? Time can't go back!" Ji Qingyuan was already in despair. "Why is it like this? Why! I can't understand why I'm worse than my previous life after living it again!"

Geng didn't hear clearly what she said and thought she disagreed.

"If you don't agree to divorce, I will treat you as my daughter! Get out now and live the life you want with Shen Chengjing! I won't give you a new house, and I won't give you a penny in the future!"

"Mother!" Ji Qingyuan fell to her knees with a plop, tightly grasping Geng's clothes, "Mother, please don't ignore me, I really know I was wrong."

"What's the point of knowing you're wrong now! I really don't know what gave you the guts to switch brides on your wedding day! You're simply possessed!"

"Mother, I'm not possessed! Do you think that my life would be better if I married into the Huaiyang Palace? Xiao Yan'an already had someone in his heart, and he didn't even look at me. I was not favored, had no children, no power, no influence, and I had to endure him marrying a concubine and ruling over me! My life in the palace was worse than that of a servant! In the end, the Huaiyang Palace was implicated in the crime of treason, and the entire family was executed!"

Geng looked at Ji Qingyuan in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"
