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

Chapter 258: Prepare for a rainy day and make a brilliant move

"Okay." The princess responded and turned to Qingluo and ordered, "Qingluo, send someone to buy some. I'll bring it back for the prince and the children in the mansion to taste."

"Yes."

"Mother, please buy more for father." Ji Chuhe was afraid that he would buy too little.

"Okay, buy him some of the things he likes. I'll also buy him a better set of four treasures of the study. The one he's using now is the one I gave him. The inkstone has holes on it. It's just on another street ahead. We'll be there soon. We can walk slowly and stroll along the way."

"Okay." Ji Chuhe supported the princess and continued walking forward.

Soon, we arrived at that street.

The first shop on the street is the Mobaofang that the princess mentioned.

Business is good, with customers coming in and out to buy things.

As soon as the shopkeeper saw the princess, he immediately stopped fiddling with the abacus, came forward respectfully, and bowed to the princess.

"I have met the Fifth Miss. No, it is the Princess. I pay my respects to the Princess."

"No need to be so polite, Manager Chen." The princess raised her hand.

Shopkeeper Chen stood up and looked the princess up and down. "The princess seems to be the same as she was back then. She still looks the same as I remembered when I was little."

"It's been more than 20 years, how could there be no changes?"

"Really, just like when we first met."

"I haven't seen you for more than 20 years. You have learned to speak sweet words."

Shopkeeper Chen's face suddenly turned red.

"Today I came here to pick a set of four treasures for my prince. They don't have to be too expensive, but they just need to be affordable and durable."

"Princess, please go to the tea room next door and wait for a while. I will personally select a few and bring them to you for selection."

"it is good."

The princess brought Ji Chuhe and others to the tea room nearby.

The maid in the shop immediately served tea and snacks.

Dong Ling had been walking for a long time and was already hungry. She looked at the snacks eagerly and asked cautiously, "Madam, can I have some?"

"Eat." Ji Chuhe nodded.

Dong Ling happily picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, nodding as she ate, "Madam, this snack is delicious!"

Xu Yan'er couldn't help but pick up a piece and put it in her mouth.

"Where is the shopkeeper? Bring me the ink and wolf-hair brush I ordered." A male voice suddenly sounded from outside.

When the princess heard the voice, her brows immediately frowned.

The door was pushed open, and a man in dark red clothes walked in. The man looked to be about forty years old, with regular features, cold and resolute. There was a guard following behind him.

The person who came was none other than the second young master Luo who had broken off the engagement that year.

Seeing the princess in the room, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"Second Master Luo, my princess is waiting here, please go out." Qingluo immediately drove him away.

"This is not the Duke's Mansion or the Prince of Huaiyang's Mansion. It is not right for you to drive away other people's customers!" The second young master Luo was ready to rush in.

Qingluo immediately blocked him with her body, "Second Master Luo, please respect yourself!"

Shopkeeper Chen just happened to walk over, and when he saw the Second Young Master Luo, he immediately quickened his pace.

"Mr. Luo, please go to the inner room and rest for a while. I will bring the things you ordered later." Shopkeeper Chen bent down and made a gesture of invitation.

The Second Young Master Luo suddenly snatched the inkstone and pen from the shopkeeper Chen and looked at them with disdain. "How dare you bring such ordinary and inferior goods to the Princess of Huaiyang? Do you think that the Princess has been in a poor and remote place like Huaiyang for too long and doesn't know good things? Or do you think that the Princess of Huaiyang can't afford good things?"

"Mr. Luo, you have misunderstood. This is not what the princess wants. I have prepared it and put it on the counter." Shopkeeper Chen responded quickly.

The princess came out of the house, took the inkstone from Shopkeeper Chen, and nodded with satisfaction, "Shopkeeper Chen, I think this inkstone is very good, I want this one."

"Princess, this is just an ordinary style. We have better ones in the store. I will pick them out for you later." Shopkeeper Chen was still trying his best to protect the princess's face.

"The inkstone itself is used to grind ink. In my eyes, there is no difference between an inkstone made of ordinary stone and one made of precious rock. They are used for the same purpose. Just like some people, even if they wear gorgeous clothes, it is difficult to cover up the smell of scum on them."

"What the princess said is absolutely right." Shopkeeper Chen is really not afraid of offending the second young master Luo.

The people around cast strange looks at the Second Young Master Luo.

Mr. Luo was so angry that his face turned red and he secretly clenched his hands.

"Manager Chen, please help me get a set of four treasures of the study according to the specifications of this inkstone and send it to the Duke Rong's Mansion." The princess whispered.

"Yes, Princess. I will arrange for someone to deliver it shortly."

The princess turned and left.

Young Master Luo looked at the princess's departing back and did not take his gaze away for a long time.

People around him just thought he was angry.

In fact, only he himself knows how unwilling he is in his heart!

Why, after all these years, she still looks the same?

Why, all these years, when he woke up in the middle of the night, he couldn't help but think of her face and what she said.

There was actually a trace of regret in his heart!

"She said, although we have been engaged since childhood, I don't have to marry you. The person I marry must understand me, respect me, and not let me do anything against my will, let alone lie or cheat. Otherwise, no matter how much it costs, I will abandon you."

He never understood her, let alone respected her. He made her do things against her will and lied to her.

She really abandoned him without hesitation.

He wanted to know, had Prince Huaiyang been able to do what she asked over the years?

Many things in this world are beyond our control! How can everything go smoothly? If you don’t even care about whether it goes against your will, how can you care about others?

When the princess saw the person she least wanted to see, her mood was gone. She got on the carriage as soon as she left the calligraphy studio.

Ji Chuhe was by her side.

"Don't be angry, mother. It's not worth it for such a scumbag."

"I know, but I still feel sick as if I had eaten a fly." The princess took a deep breath and calmed herself down. "Fortunately, Luo Er made a secret move in the army, so I have to thank him for not marrying me!"

"He was treacherous. He should have talked to me and we called off the marriage. The Luo family was at fault first, so they only lost some face, but it will be over soon. However, they wanted to save face and ruin my reputation in secret!"

Ji Chuhe patted the princess gently on the back.

Although my mother never mentioned this matter, she knew something about it.

In her previous life, after she became the wife of a powerful official, she came into close contact with the nobles in the imperial capital. When the women in the harem got together, they would just talk about what happened in other people's houses.

After so many years, people are still talking about what happened between the Duke's Mansion and the Luo family.

It’s basically the same as what my mother said.

In order to help the princess recover her mood as soon as possible, Ji Chuhe changed the subject.

"Mother, when you return to Huaiyang, you must thoroughly investigate the Concubine Dowager as soon as possible. Even if you don't find anything for the time being, you must be careful to prevent others from taking advantage of you."

"Mother knows." The princess nodded.

"I thought about it. In fact, if the emperor is interested in the Huaiyang Palace, if he is sure enough, he only needs to make a small move and then accuse the Huaiyang Palace of treason, and then sentence the Huaiyang Palace to death. The key point lies in when the emperor is sure enough." Ji Chuhe didn't want to be a chess piece in the hands of others. She wanted to be a good chess player and play a game of chess with the emperor!
