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

Chapter 148: Movement, 4 lives lost

"It's enough this time...but from now on..." Shen's mother walked forward, picked up the silver and checked its authenticity.

Seeing Shen's mother's greedy face, Geng was furious. There was not a single good person in this family!

"I'll deliver it to you if you need it in the future," Geng responded directly.

"That's good, that's good. I'll go kill a chicken for Qingyuan to replenish her stomach." Mother Shen took the money and turned away happily.

Ji Qingyuan held Geng's hand tightly, "Mother, where did you get the money?"

"Don't worry about it. Let's proceed according to the original plan. We will wait for Mother for a while. After we deal with one thing, we can get more money. Then we will leave Huaiyang with Shen Chengjing."

"Mother, what are you going to deal with?" Ji Qingyuan asked puzzledly.

"Don't worry about this matter. Anyway, if the matter is successful, I will get a sum of money, enough for us to live a stable life in the imperial capital."

Ji Qingyuan didn't ask what it was about.

"Mother, Shen Chengjing is not the kind of person we imagined. Placing our hopes on him may be in vain. Since we have money, why don't I abort the child, and we can secretly leave Huaiyang and start a new life."

Ji Qingyuan and Shen Chengjing have reached a point of no return.

"Mother certainly knows that Shen Chengjing is not reliable! However, bringing him with us will give us more opportunities. As long as we control him, he can be used by us. Besides, the journey to the imperial capital is long, and having a man by our side will always give us more protection."

Ji Qingyuan was still unwilling, "Mother, I'm afraid he is not so easy to control."

"As long as we have money, it's fine. When we get to the imperial capital, whether we get divorced or not is up to us, right?"

Ji Qingyuan was persuaded and nodded slightly.

"Mother left first, you should rest well here."

"Mother, where do you live now? Why don't you also live in the Shen Mansion?" Ji Qingyuan held Geng's hand, reluctant to leave.

"No, I have things to do."

Geng walked outside and happened to see Shen Chengjing.

Ji Qingyuan looked out the window and saw two people talking, but she couldn't hear what they were saying.

After Geng left, Shen Chengjing came into the room.

"Ji Qingyuan, your mother has been divorced. Where did she get the money?"

"Does this have anything to do with you?" Ji Qingyuan asked back coldly.

"Ji Qingyuan, if you don't want to divorce, we still have to continue living together. We should not make our relationship so stiff, and no one should be jealous of each other. Let's start over, okay?" Shen Chengjing took the initiative to let go of his attitude.

Ji Qingyuan frowned, not understanding why Shen Chengjing's attitude changed so quickly.

Didn’t he just clamor for a divorce?

"You see, when we were about to divorce, you became pregnant, which shows that our fate is not broken." Shen Chengjing continued.

"Don't try to trick me. I really don't know where my mother got the money."

"Just now, my mother-in-law said that she has enough money for us to leave Huaiyang and settle down in the imperial capital, but the prerequisite is that I treat you well. Don't worry, I will treat you well."

She didn't believe a single word Shen Chengjing said!

Ji Qingyuan turned her face away, feeling extremely aggrieved!

Geng still had great hope in her heart.

She thought Ji Qingyuan knew what happened in her previous life, just like the paulownia tree that came back to life. For people in this life, this was a form of foresight!

Just based on this point, they can make a name for themselves in the imperial capital!

What she didn't know was that her daughter didn't have too many things in her mind in her previous life!

Ji Qingyuan had been in Huaiyang in her previous life, trapped in the backyard of the palace. She had always been concerned about the competition for favor in the backyard.

She didn't pay much attention to what was happening outside the palace, and she was even confused about how Prince Huaiyang was convicted.

After Prince Huaiyang was convicted, he was taken to the imperial capital in a prison cart without knowing why.

After being rescued by Shen Chengjing by stealth, she lived in hiding and did not dare to show up easily. Her mind was filled with rumors about the imperial capital.

For example, which family has a new concubine, who is from a brothel, which girl has arranged a marriage with which boy... and so on.

Shen Chengjing wanted to divorce in order to get money to go to the imperial capital. Now Geng can still give him money to help him go to the imperial capital, so it doesn't matter to him whether he divorces or not.

When he follows the life trajectory of his previous life, becomes an official in the imperial capital, and has power and influence, when he no longer wants Ji Qingyuan, will he still be afraid that he will not be able to get rid of her?

His eyes fell on Ji Qingyuan's belly.

But this child...it's better not to give birth to it.

……

When Ji Chuhe heard the news about Ji Qingyuan, his brows gradually furrowed.

"Miss, Ji Qingyuan returned to the Shen family while pregnant, and she definitely didn't divorce Shen Chengjing." Nanny Si guessed.

Ji Chuhe did not respond.

Thoughts surged in my mind.

If Ji Qingyuan remarried, it would mean that the trajectory of her previous life had changed.

The current situation made her dare not jump to conclusions.

Is it a coincidence or an arrangement by fate?

In her previous life, it was around this time. She was also pregnant, and later she and Shen Chengjing wandered all the way to the imperial capital, but the child was not kept.

That was her first child, and she later conceived Yuer.

It just so happened that Ji Qingyuan was pregnant at this time.

"Keep an eye on them and see if they have any plans to leave Huaiyang." Ji Chuhe ordered softly.

"What if they still want to leave Huaiyang?" asked Nanny Si.

"Without money, they can't move a single step. If they leave Huaiyang, they will starve to death. They dare not take this risk easily. In short, we just need to keep an eye on their movements."

"Yes." Nanny Ji responded softly, "Miss, there has been no movement from Concubine Gao, and the Second Young Master has hardly gone out recently. Do you want us to take the initiative?"

Before Ji Chuhe could respond, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside.

It was Qingluo who came by the princess's side to deliver the message.

"Madam, the princess asks you to come over. Someone has died at the dowager's manor, and the matter has been reported to the government office."

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Ji Chuhe nodded in response. She turned and looked at Nanny Si, "Isn't there movement coming?"

Ji Chuhe came to the Princess Heluan Palace, and Xiao Yanan was there too.

"Mother, Prince." Ji Chuhe stepped forward and saluted.

"He'er, there's no need to be so polite. Sit down and talk." The princess pointed to a chair beside her.

Ji Chuhe walked over and sat down, and Xiao Yanan started speaking.

"The manor where the accident happened was owned by the Concubine Dowager. Four people died overnight, and all of them were killed by heavy objects hitting their heads. This was obviously homicide. The family of the deceased reported it to the government office and filed a case. I sent people to investigate the manor and hurried back to tell my mother. Although this manor was owned by the Concubine Dowager, in the eyes of outsiders, the Concubine Dowager represents the royal palace, so this matter must be investigated thoroughly."

"Four lives?" Ji Chuhe's face was terribly gloomy.
