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

Chapter 185: Unique educational methods

Xu Yan'er looked at her burned arm from time to time, feeling conflicted.

Do you want to ask the prince to come back now?

She was afraid that if she delayed any further, the red skin that had been burned would return to normal.

However, if she went to invite the prince in this way, it would not reflect her ability to endure humiliation.

She grabbed the teapot beside her and was about to pour the water on her arm again, but she was afraid of the pain and didn't dare to do it.

"Aunt, the prince is back and is heading towards Pixiayuan." Ping'er walked in and reported.

"That's great!" Xu Yan'er was excited.

There wasn't much to do in the government office today, so Xiao Yan'an came back early and brought some snacks that Xu Yan'er liked.

After calming down, I think it was a bit unfair for Xu Yan'er to be made a slave.

As long as she stops messing around and behaves herself, he will still treat her well as before.

"Yan'er." Xiao Yan'an walked into the room and called out.

Xu Yan'er quickly put down her sleeves, looking painful.

"Prince, you're back?" She forced a smile and walked straight towards Xiao Yan'an.

"What's wrong with your arm?" Xiao Yan'an noticed her actions and couldn't help but ask.

"It's okay." Xu Yan'er quickly shook her head.

"Let me see if you're injured." Xiao Yan'an put down the snack and lifted Xu Yan'er's arm.

Xu Yan'er pretended to struggle, "It's okay, Prince, please don't look at it."

Xiao Yan'an lifted her sleeves and saw an abnormal red color.

"Oh, it hurts, please be gentler, Prince." Xu Yan'er cried out in pain.

"Hot?" Xiao Yan'an relaxed his movements.

"Yeah." Xu Yan'er bit her lip and nodded.

"How did it get hot?"

"It's okay, Prince, don't ask."

Xiao Yan'an had a feeling that this matter was not that simple, and immediately called out, "Ping'er."

Ping'er walked in timidly and bowed, "Greetings, Prince."

"How did Aunt Xu get her arm burned?" Xiao Yan'an asked in a deep voice.

Xu Yan'er secretly winked at Ping'er.

Ping'er was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak.

It was obviously not permed in February, but she really couldn't say it.

Xu Yan'er glared at Ping'er fiercely.

What a stupid thing you can't count on!

Didn’t she teach me what to say when I see the prince? Why do you act like a mute?

At critical moments, you have to rely on yourself.

"Prince, don't blame them. It was the maid that Madam newly sent who accidentally knocked over the teapot when pouring water and scalded me." Xu Yan'er said softly.

"How hot must the tea be to be so scalding? You can't even pour the water? Which maid is it? Call her in!" Xiao Yan'an shouted in a deep voice.

"Prince, don't pursue this matter." Xu Yan'er hurriedly stopped Xiao Yan'an, tears welling up in her eyes, and she looked like she was trying to compromise.

"You can't even serve your master well, you deserve to be punished!" Although Xiao Yan'an said this, he didn't really take it seriously.

After all, it was Ji Chuhe who sent him here.

"Prince, have you forgotten that I have signed a contract to sell myself into slavery? How can I be considered their master? They must be unhappy to serve me. Following me is not as good as following the lady. They will inevitably look down on me. I understand."

Xiao Yan'an really didn't think about it in this way.

"It seems that we still have to punish them today to make them recognize their own identities!"

"No, Your Majesty, punishing them will only backfire and easily accumulate resentment. I have a good idea, but it will make things difficult for Your Majesty."

"Tell me what the method is." Xiao Yan'an did not agree immediately.

He has suffered enough from making careless promises.

Whenever Xu Yan'er accused him, he had no way to refute it.

"It's actually very simple to really control them. It only takes a contract of sale. As long as I give them to me, they won't dare to neglect me. The prince can go to the lady to ask for the contracts of sale. The lady should not refuse the prince. This is not a big deal."

Xiao Yan'an thought about it and nodded.

He felt that he could still agree to take care of a few servants.

"I'll go now." Xiao Yan'an stood up and left.

Xu Yan'er looked at Xiao Yan'an's back and revealed a smug smile.

"Ping'er, call everyone in."

Ping'er cried and turned around silently to call for help.

She really wanted to die in her heart!

From the day she was assigned to take care of Xu Yan'er, she felt that her life had fallen into darkness. Later, Xu Yan'er was driven out of the palace, and she thought that her hard days were over.

Not long after, Xu Yan'er came back again!

She could only continue to suffer.

The only consolation is that the indenture contract is in the hands of the lady, and the monthly salary is also considerable, enough for her to supplement the family income. As long as her family lives well, it doesn't matter if she suffers a little.

If the indenture contract really fell into Xu Yan'er's hands, how would she have the money to support her family?

Everyone came into the house, and Xu Yan'er looked at them proudly.

"The prince has just promised me that he will go to Madam to get your indentures. From now on, you don't have to worry about anything else. You just need to serve me well. In the future, you will get a lot of benefits."

"Madam attaches great importance to rules and always mentions them! How can I, a concubine who has signed a contract to sell myself, hold the contract of the servants in the mansion? But the prince dotes on me! He wants to break the rules for me! You should know who you should be loyal to from this point."

After Xu Yan'er finished speaking, she looked at everyone.

Why doesn't everyone look happy at all?

Everyone's face looks uglier than when visiting a grave!

……

Liuhua Palace.

Ji Chuhe sat at the desk, looking through the account book handed to him by the farm.

"Mountain Ridge Manor."

"Madam, this farm is the worst and most difficult farm under the princess' name, but it is the most profitable one. Just like the name, the farm is on the ridge. There are a total of 20 families. Their ancestors have lived there and planted halberds. The juice of the halberds turns a light pink after being mashed. It can be used to dye fabrics. No matter what kind of fabric, it can be dyed well and the color is always bright. After this kind of fabric is dyed, it is deeply loved by the nobles in the imperial capital and sells for a very high price."

The manager quickly explained.

After listening to this, Ji Chuhe nodded.

It was the first time she saw the account book of Mountain Ridge Manor.

Just then, Xiao Yan'an walked in.

"Prince." The steward immediately saluted Xiao Yan'an.

Ji Chuhe also stood up.

"Ma'am, there's no need to be so polite. You go ahead and do your work. I'll be waiting for you over here." Xiao Yan'an walked to a table nearby and sat down.

Ji Chuhe continued to check the account book and chatted with the manager from time to time.

Xiao Yan'an watched this scene and suddenly felt a long-lost peace in his heart. This was a feeling that he could only experience with Ji Chuhe.

"Please let the steward pass on what I just said. Please report to me anytime if there is anything else."

"Yes, ma'am." The steward put away the account book and bowed respectfully to Ji Chuhe, "I will take my leave first."

Ji Chuhe stood up and walked to Xiao Yan'an, "Is there something the prince wants to talk to me about?"

Xiao Yan'an suddenly didn't want to directly say why he came.

He wanted to stay with Ji Chuhe for a while longer.

"Madam, were you just checking the accounts on the farm?" He picked up a random topic.
