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

Chapter 159 The Strongest Support, Warming Up the Prince

Concubine Gao was so angry that she sneered.

Was this intended to humiliate her?

good very good!

The way she looked at Qingyu now was as if she was looking at a dead person.

"I wonder what favor do you want from me, Miss Qingyu?" Concubine Gao asked back in a cold voice.

"Please advise your father to stay away from me!" Qingyu said and walked away.

"Qingyu!" County Magistrate Gao immediately caught up with her, "Where are you going?"

"What does where I'm going have to do with County Magistrate Gao?" Qingyu asked back in a cold voice.

"You can't leave. You have to stay with me to avoid any danger. Didn't I tell you that I would hire you to perform for me? As long as you agree to stay, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

"What do you mean by County Magistrate Gao won't treat me unfairly? Is he going to prepare three matchmakers, six betrothal gifts, and a sedan chair carried by eight people to marry me?" Qingyu asked back with a sarcastic smile.

Magistrate Gao did not answer.

His current feelings towards Qingyu are only a spiritual comfort, and he is not so absurd as to marry a substitute so easily.

Qingyu took advantage of the fact that County Magistrate Gao was distracted and walked out quickly.

This time, County Magistrate Gao did not stop her, but called out, "Someone come!"

The subordinate immediately appeared in front of him, "Sir, what do you want?"

"Take a few people with you to guard Miss Qingyu and protect her safety."

"Yes." The subordinate left in a hurry.

County Magistrate Gao then looked into the house and found that his daughter was still kneeling on the ground and had not gotten up. He immediately walked into the house.

Concubine Gao looked up at him, her eyes were so complicated that it was hard to describe, and most of it was sadness.

"Everyone has left, why are you still kneeling?" County Magistrate Gao did not think he was being excessive, and walked to a chair nearby and sat down.

Concubine Gao still didn't stand up. "I'm not kneeling for that Jingyu, I'm kneeling for my father. I really don't understand why my father has such deep feelings for a woman he has only known for a short time! My father is not that kind of person!"

"She's like an old friend of mine."

"Yumeng?"

"I know Yumeng?" County Magistrate Gao stood up in surprise.

"When mother was alive, she mentioned this name, saying that this was the person father would never forget and the enemy she could not defeat. However, Yumeng is dead, and this is Qingyu! Can the person my father has been thinking about all his life be replaced so easily?" Seeing that the obstruction was futile, Concubine Gao had to bring up the real person in an attempt to persuade County Magistrate Gao to wake up.

"Do you know how Yumeng died?"

"How did you die?"

"She was killed by your mother! So, just now, when I asked you to kneel down, I didn't wrong you! I also didn't ask you to kneel down to Qingyu, but to Yumeng, kneel down for your mother! You don't have to interfere in Qingyu's affairs anymore, I know what's appropriate."

"Father, I'm worried that you'll fall into Ji Chuhe's trap!"

"You should worry about yourself! Is the murder case of Xu Gui related to you?"

Concubine Gao didn't say anything, which was considered as her agreement.

"Why didn't you consult with me before you acted? Four lives were taken, and you killed them just like that. Do you think you did it perfectly and that others wouldn't be able to find any evidence?"

"Father, you don't have to worry about this matter. Ji Chuhe won't live long!" Concubine Gao showed no fear at all.

"This side of you really looks like your mother!" County Magistrate Gao said, then turned and left.

Concubine Gao slowly stood up and looked at County Magistrate Gao's back.

What's wrong with her?

Originally, Xiao Yan'an was a useless playboy, but he married the resourceful Ji Chuhe!

Although she didn't do anything, she gained a lot of reputation thanks to Ji Chuhe, and also inexplicably won the support of the people. If this continues, her son will never have a chance to turn things around!

After Concubine Gao left Gao Mansion, she immediately sent someone to notify the people who were going to assassinate Qingyu today to leave Huaiyang immediately.

Before she returned to the palace, the person she sent came back with a reply.

"Concubine, I didn't find those people. I don't know where they went. Have they left Huaiyang?"

Concubine Gao immediately clenched her hands, "No, it's impossible. They won't act without my permission."

"Go to Gao's house again and ask my father to see if those people are in his hands."

"Yes!"

Concubine Gao returned home and waited anxiously for news.

We got the news that County Magistrate Gao had not captured any of them!

"Look! Look again!" Concubine Gao ordered with a trembling voice.

She already had a bad feeling in her heart.

Could it be that these people have fallen into Ji Chuhe's hands?

Concubine Gao felt a chill in her heart!

If this is really Ji Chuhe's method, it is really hard to guard against!

……

Government office.

Xiao Yan'an sat in the study, flipping through the information that had just been delivered.

Still didn't get any useful information.

Is it really true that there is no longer any key breakthrough in the murder case involving Xu Gui?

"Prince, the lady is here to see you." Tianxi came in to report.

Xiao Yanan put down the information in his hand, his eyes full of surprise, "What did you say? Madam came to see me?"

Ji Chuhe has walked in.

Behind her followed two maids, Mianzhu and Xiangzhu, both of them holding things in their hands.

Xiao Yan'an got off the bed in a hurry, and in a hurry he didn't even put on his shoes.

"Prince, please sit down." Ji Chuhe also walked to the square couch under the window and sat down.

Xiao Yan'an adjusted his clothes awkwardly and sat back.

Ji Chuhe looked at Xiao Yanan.

It's only been two or three days since we last met, and yet he looks visibly haggard.

"Xiangzhu, prepare some water for the prince to wash his hands. Mianzhu, bring the food up." Ji Chuhe ordered softly.

Xiao Yan'an felt his throat harden, and he almost couldn't control the emotions he had been suppressing for the past few days.

"The prince has been staying in the government office for the past two days. I believe he has not eaten well or slept well. So, I came here today to bring him some food. The case is important, and so is his health. He must not be harmed." Ji Chuhe's voice was soft, but it was filled with a reassuring power.

Xiao Yanan's heart was also filled with a warm emotion.

Ji Chuhe helped to arrange the food.

When Xiao Yan'an saw that everything was made according to his taste, he felt touched again.

However, Ji Chuhe's behavior was definitely not to please Xu Yaner in the same way.

The care she gave him gave him an indescribable feeling, just like an older sister caring for her younger brother. He didn't know why he had such a thought.

"Prince, let's eat first."

"Hmm." Xiao Yan'an picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

I ate extra much at this meal.

Maybe I was really hungry, or maybe it was because of my mood.

Mianzhu cleared the table and put away the dishes. He served a cup of tea to help relieve the greasiness and then left with Xiangzhu.

Only Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yanan were left in the room.

"Prince, how is the investigation of the case going?" Ji Chuhe then started talking about business.
