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

Chapter 161: The storm is shaky and the relationship is not strong

Ji Qingyuan glanced at Shen Chengjing, and the love she had in her eyes was gone, only a hint of hidden disdain.

"Mother-in-law, have some tea." Shen Chengjing poured a cup of tea and handed it to Geng.

To him, Geng was now like a walking silver ingot, and it was okay for him to bow down to her. What's more, Geng was all his hope for settling down in the imperial capital!

He had a vague feeling that Geng wanted him to go to the imperial capital even more than he did.

Ji Qingyuan's attitude was not as passionate as it was at the beginning. She even wanted to leave him and marry a fool!

He will remember all of this!

"Mother, what do you want to talk to me about?" Ji Qingyuan asked anxiously.

Geng didn't answer her question, but looked at Shen Chengjing, "Get ready. Tomorrow morning, when the city gate opens, you will take Qingyuan out of the city."

"Leaving the city tomorrow? Mother-in-law, are we going to the imperial capital?"

"Yes, but after you leave the city, don't go north yet."

"So where do we go first?"

"Go south to a small town called Shilipu and settle down first. Then, wait for my news. I will meet up with you and we will go north to the imperial capital together."

Ji Qingyuan immediately grabbed Geng's hand and said, "Mother, won't you come out of the city with me?"

"No, I have something else to do. I can't leave with you until I finish this."

"Mother, can you tell me what exactly is going on?"

"Don't ask about this matter. Take care of yourself. You are pregnant and you have to travel a long distance. You will suffer a lot along the way." Geng stroked Ji Qingyuan's cheek with heartache.

"Mother-in-law, when we go out of the city, money is everywhere. We also have to take good care of Qingyuan and her son and not let them suffer any grievances. But I have no money left." Shen Chengjing just asked for money.

He couldn't wait to set off now! Because he had been waiting for this day for too long!

Geng looked up at Shen Chengjing and took out two taels of silver and gave it to him. "Go to the market first and buy some things you need for the trip. Get ready. Someone will bring the carriage to you later."

"That's all?" Shen Chengjing looked displeased.

"I'll let Qingyuan keep the remaining money! Shen Chengjing, Qingyuan insisted on marrying you, without regard for the consequences and without hesitation. If you are a human being, you should have some conscience! Although there are some barriers between you, we are still a family. Now that we are going to the imperial capital together to make a living, we should support each other. Qingyuan is still pregnant with your child!" Geng wanted to awaken Shen Chengjing's conscience a little.

"Mother-in-law, please rest assured that I will take good care of Qingyuan and serve you." Shen Chengjing put the silver away, raised his hand and bowed, "I will take my leave first."

Ji Qingyuan watched Shen Chengjing go out, then looked outside again. Seeing that no one from the Shen family was eavesdropping, she pulled Geng to sit next to the bed.

"Mother, I have now seen through Shen Chengjing. I cannot trust him! I also don't want this child in my belly. This child is always a burden."

"How could mother not see through Shen Chengjing? If it weren't for him, would we have ended up like this?"

"It's all my fault." Ji Qingyuan really regretted it.

"Forget about what happened before. I can only entrust you to Shen Chengjing now. First, get to the imperial capital safely. It will only take a month. As for the child in your belly, we will make plans after we get to the imperial capital. Now that you are pregnant, it is also a guarantee for you. Shen Chengjing is the biological father of the child after all, so he has to be cautious."

When Ji Qingyuan heard this, she immediately understood Geng's intention.

In this sense, my mother is more thoughtful.

She and Shen Chengjing went to the imperial capital together, and she always felt that the situation was precarious and uneasy.

"Mother, Shen Chengjing is eyeing your money, we have to be on guard."

Geng took out a seal from her body and said, "Don't worry, mother has prepared it. You must keep this thing close to you."

"This is?"

"This is the withdrawal seal of the escort agency. I have asked the escort agency to escort 500 taels to the imperial capital in your name. Once you arrive at the imperial capital, you only need to use this seal to withdraw the money."

"Mom, you are so thoughtful."

"It's just that the cost of this escort is a bit too high. However, there is no other way. Remember, you must not reveal the existence of this seal to Shen Chengjing. Just say that the money is in my hands. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Ji Qingyuan nodded heavily.

"When mother finishes her business and reunites with you, we will have more than just this little money. Okay, pack up and go to bed early tonight. I have something else to do. I need to go see Shen's mother."

"Ok."

As soon as Shen Chengjing came back from outside, he saw a carriage parked in front of the door.

He couldn't help but walk forward and touch the horse, then he lifted the curtain of the carriage and took a look inside.

The horse alone was not cheap! And the carriage was so spacious that it could easily fit two large luggage boxes in the back.

Geng really has a lot of money!

Shen Chengjing walked into the yard contentedly and saw Shen's mother standing in the yard.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Why aren't you asleep so late?"

"You are leaving home tomorrow. Don't you have anything to say to your mother?"

"Mom, do you know everything?"

"Your mother-in-law said that you have great potential and that staying in Huaiyang will bury your talent. She wants to send you to the imperial capital to pursue a career."

"Mother, my mother-in-law is right. Just wait for your son to return home in glory in the future! Or, your son will take you to the imperial capital to enjoy a good life."

"Let's not talk about that for now. What I want to tell you is that Ji Qingyuan is going with you this time. You must take care of her and the baby in her belly. That's the offspring of our Shen family!"

"Mom, Ji Qingyuan was so unfilial to you before, why are you worried about her now?"

"She is pregnant with our Shen family's child! Kneel down and swear to me that you will take good care of Ji Qingyuan and her child, otherwise, you will be poor and destitute for the rest of your life!"

"This..." Shen Chengjing's face turned green, "Mom, I'm your own son! You made me swear such a vicious oath!"

"If you don't swear this, I'm afraid you won't listen to me!" Mother Shen cared very much about the child in Ji Qingyuan's belly.

Her idea is to have many children and grandchildren.

It is impossible to have many children, so the only thing we can have is many grandchildren.

Geng also saw this clearly and went to find Shen's mother.

Faced with his mother's dominance, Shen Chengjing had no choice but to kneel down.

"I swear, my son, that I will take good care of Ji Qingyuan and her son, otherwise... I will live in poverty all my life." Shen Chengjing made the oath very reluctantly.

"Okay, go back to your room now, we have to leave early tomorrow morning."

Shen Chengjing turned and left.

……

It was late at night, but Ji Chuhe was still not sleepy. He put away the books he had finished reading and took out a few new ones.

"Miss, it's so late, don't read anymore, or you might damage your eyes." Nanny Ji wanted to snatch the book away.

Ji Chuhe immediately held the book in her arms, "Don't worry, Mammy, I'll just take it out first. I won't read it tonight."

"Then the young lady should put the book outside and not bring it into the bedroom."

Ji Chuhe had no choice but to put the book down, but still secretly took one.

“Not even one.” Nanny Ji held out her hand.

Ji Chuhe had no choice but to take out the book, and when he handed it to Nanny Ji, a thin envelope fell out!
