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

Chapter 212: Aunts Compete for Favor, Madam Loves Me

"My grandson's strength is simply overwhelming Xiao Yan'an! But for some reason, the emperor actually rewarded Xiao Yan'an so much! On the contrary, my grandson and several outstanding children from aristocratic families only received rewards of gold and silver. The emperor rewarded us with these things, which is simply a humiliation to us!" Luo Jixun was still full of anger when he mentioned this matter.

"What? The emperor only rewarded you with gold and silver? Then what did the emperor reward Xiao Yan'an?" Marquis Zhenyuan asked hurriedly.

"The emperor rewarded Xiao Yan'an with some paintings by famous artists, including one painted by the emperor himself."

"Father, why is this happening?" The second young master Luo also became nervous.

Marquis Zhenyuan seemed to be thinking about something, this matter must not be as simple as it seemed!

"Xun'er, tell your grandfather about today's game, and don't miss any details."

Luo Jixun told everything that happened today.

Including the princess' words and the queen's words.

"It's the Rong family's trick again!" Marquis Zhenyuan slammed the table angrily!

"Grandfather, what trap has she set for us again?" Luo Jixun had not yet reacted.

"She directly said that she didn't train her son well, and showed the emperor how loyal Prince Huaiyang was to him. Then, she said that our family trained our children so well, and aroused the emperor's suspicion."

"Grandfather, we are also loyal to the emperor!" Luo Jixun was even more confused.

"You...Alas! You are still too young to understand these things."

Mr. Luo secretly clenched his hands, "It's been so many years and she still won't let me go."

"Father, it's a good thing you didn't marry her back then! This woman is as cruel as a snake!" Luo Jixun would grit his teeth in hatred whenever he mentioned Princess Huaiyang.

"Don't mention what happened in the past anymore!" Marquis Zhenyuan shouted angrily.

Even after so many years, and even though Luo Jixun was so outstanding, and when he was older and had experienced more things, he was able to support the Marquis's Mansion, but he still looked down on Luo Jixun's mother.

Ruined his son's good marriage!

If he had not broken off the engagement with the Duke of Rong, he would not have sent his daughter to the palace.

Now, they have no choice but to fight for it.

If you don’t fight, you will die!

"Recently, you need to be more restrained and stop associating with the children of the rich and powerful."

"Yes." Luo Jixun responded immediately.

"There is one more thing you must remember. Don't provoke Xiao Yan'an again!"

Luo Jixun was holding back his anger but had no place to vent it. However, he did not dare to disobey his grandfather, so he just bowed and responded, "Yes."

……

News of the competition also reached the Duke's Mansion.

The old Duke sighed.

"Is it possible that even at this point, His Majesty cannot let down his guard?"

He was the only one in the study and no one could answer his question.

There was no answer in his heart.

……

After Ji Chuhe returned, she immediately asked Mian Zhu to help her take off her elaborate and gorgeous clothes and change into a comfortable set of clothes.

As soon as Dong Ling heard that she was back, she came over to report.

"Ma'am, you're back. I was so worried."

"What's there to worry about? Don't be so nervous all the time. Your child will be able to sense your emotions."

"Maybe the baby is worried about Madam too. My heart was beating non-stop until Madam came and it felt normal again."

Ji Chuhe raised his hand and touched Dong Ling's belly.

The child responded immediately.

Ji Chuhe felt warm in his heart.

I don’t know why she is now as skilled in touching Dong Ling’s belly as she was in touching her own.

She felt like she was abnormal, but she couldn't control herself.

"Where is Aunt Xu?" Ji Chuhe withdrew his hand and asked.

"She? She was like an eggplant hit by frost. She didn't say a word and just sat in the room in a daze."

"It seems that this incident has dealt a heavy blow to her and really scared her."

"I have advised her, and my wife has said so much to her. I really don't know why she is still so hypocritical."

"The comfort she really wants does not come from us, but from the prince."

"I really don't understand how much Aunt Xu loves the prince. Can she not live without him?"

"Dong Ling, why don't you go back to Huaiyang?" Ji Chuhe suddenly said with a smile.

"Ah?! Madam, why did you suddenly send me back to Huaiyang? Did I do something wrong?" Dong Ling was about to cry.

"Aunt Dong, Madam didn't send you back to Huaiyang. You see, you can't leave Madam just like Aunt Xu can't leave the Prince. So, can you understand Aunt Xu?" Mianzhu hurriedly explained for her master.

"I..." Dong Ling was speechless.

"Mianzhu, go and ask the prince to come over and tell him that I have something to discuss with him."

"Yes." Mianzhu immediately took the order and left.

"Madam, did you ask the prince to come here because of Aunt Xu?"

"If a person's mood is always suppressed, he will get sick. Since the prince can solve Xu Yi Niang's problem, let the prince come. If Xu Yi Niang is in a good mood, you will not be affected by her when you live with her."

Dong Ling suddenly became happy.

"I know that Madam is doing this for me, and definitely not for Aunt Xu! I see that she is unhappy, and it really affects my mood."

Ji Chuhe smiled and didn't respond.

Xiao Yan'an returned to his residence, took a shower, and changed into a comfortable set of clothes.

He was still immersed in the blow dealt to him by Luo Jixun, and there was no way for him to convince himself to accept this fact for the time being.

After returning, he must practice riding and archery hard!

I must defeat Luo Jixun and these aristocratic children in the imperial capital!

"Prince, Mianzhu is here." Tianxi came over to report.

"Let her in quickly." Xiao Yan'an immediately perked up.

It must be Ji Chuhe who asked Mianzhu to come over.

"Greetings, Prince." Mianzhu stepped forward and saluted, "Madam, please ask the Prince to come over."

"What do you want from me, madam?"

"You will know when you go there, Prince."

"Okay, I'll be there now." Xiao Yan'an immediately left the yard and walked towards Ji Chuhe's residence.

To get from where he lived to where Ji Chuhe lived, one had to pass through the garden in the mansion.

As soon as I walked through the corridor, I saw a figure walking towards me.

Xiao Yan'an had no way to avoid it and could only face it.

Liao Yunfei saw Xiao Yanan's figure from afar. She was supposed to go in another direction, but suddenly she changed her route and walked in this direction.

"Greetings, Prince." She immediately bowed to Xiao Yan'an, with a hint of surprise on her face that she couldn't hide.

Xiao Yan'an was a little surprised. He couldn't remember which sister this was.

However, if she was his cousin, she would not have performed such a ceremony to him.

"You don't have to be so polite." Xiao Yan'an raised his hand embarrassedly.

"Thank you, Prince. Are you going to the inner courtyard?" Liao Yunfei said deliberately.
