After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

At this time, inside the Xuanzheng Hall.

Looking at the memorial presented by Xiao Yujing, Emperor Chengren's face gradually turned pale and the air pressure around him became lower and lower.

Emperor Chengren slammed the table and stood up, his eyes filled with anger.

"How dare you do such a treasonous thing!"

The palace servants in the hall fell to their knees and prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to breathe.

Princess Ningyang and Xiao Yujing knelt quietly below.

Emperor Chengren calmed down his anger for a while and looked at Princess Ningyang with reluctance.

"Ning Yang, I've wronged you for so many years. What do you plan to do about this?"

If Ning Yang still loves the prince consort so much, he has to find a way to protect Cheng Zongan...

"Your Majesty, Ningyang wants to divorce Cheng Zongan!" Princess Ningyang said firmly.

Emperor Chengren's face paused, and he was very happy in his heart.

I thought Ning Yang might still have feelings for Cheng Zongan, but now it seems he doesn't have to worry about anything.

"Hmph, even a divorce is too easy for him!" Emperor Chengren said angrily.

"I have ordered that Princess Ningyang divorce her husband Cheng Zong'an from today onwards. The two of them are no longer husband and wife. Cheng Zong'an broke the law knowingly and disregarded the laws of Dacheng. He will be dismissed from his post as a captain and executed on a certain day."

"As for the daughter of the Cheng family, she can be spared the death penalty, but she cannot escape the punishment of life. She will be caned 60 times and expelled from the capital. Her descendants will not be allowed to enter the capital for three generations!"

After that, he looked at Princess Ningyang lovingly, "Ningyang, are you satisfied with this result?"

Princess Ningyang's eyes were red. She folded her hands in front of her forehead, leaned forward and knelt down to pay homage. She said in a trembling voice, "Ningyang, thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

At this time, a guard came hurriedly to report.

"Your Majesty, the owner of Risheng Money House bit his tongue and committed suicide in prison... Cheng Zongan has confessed his guilt and admitted that he and the owner of Risheng Money House were responsible for the incident." The guards trembled with fear and broke out in cold sweat.

The owner of Risheng Money House was already dead, and there was no evidence to verify Cheng Zongan's confession, so he had no choice but to admit it.

"Assholes!" Emperor Chengren was furious. "If you can't even take care of a prisoner, what's the point of having you!"

"Everyone, come down and receive your punishment!"

"Yes!" The guards retreated quickly.

Xiao Yujing narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Third Prince is really quick...

But it doesn't matter. The closure of Risheng Bank is enough to make him anxious.

"Jing'er, I heard that it was you who saved Ningyang and the girl from the Jiang family this time?" asked Emperor Chengren.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yujing explained, "It was just a coincidence that Miss Jiang protected the princess in a time of crisis and risked her life. This is what true courage and wisdom show."

"Oh? In that case, then you have been meritorious in protecting the emperor and you deserve a reward!" said Emperor Chengren.

Xiao Yujing nodded in agreement.

At this time, Jiang Ruoli was in her room, boasting about a bowl of sweet milk ice cream.

He had no idea that the prince had earned a reward with just two words.

"A-choo!" Jiang Ruoli rubbed her nose, "Who scolded me?!"

Fuguo was helpless, "The weather is getting colder, Miss, you should eat less ice and take care of your health."

Jiang Ruoli thought it made sense and decided to finish this bowl of rice and not eat anymore today.

"Is brother back?" Jiang Ruoli asked.

"Not yet," Fuguo said, "With such a big thing happening today, the young master must be very busy."

Jiang Ruoli nodded.

After returning today, Jiang Ruoli and Jiang Ci Jin told Duke Jiang and Madam Jiang what happened in Baixiang Tower.

Duke Jiang was furious and kept scolding Cheng Zong'an as worse than pigs and dogs. Madam Jiang also felt sorry for Princess Ningyang and wiped away her tears.

At the same time, she was also glad that thanks to hearing Jiang Ruoli's voice in advance, she was able to remove the cancer of Cheng Zongan in advance, thus minimizing the harm to the princess and the people.

However, the matter has already been brought to the emperor's attention, and it is not convenient for Duke Jiang to enter the palace at this time. He can only wait for Jiang Ci Yan to return before asking for the result.

The Jiang family expressed strong disapproval of Jiang Ruoli's risking her life, and she repeatedly assured them that she would never do it again before letting the matter go.

Jiang Ruoli was still eating the iced cheese in her bowl when a maid hurried in, bowed quickly, and said happily:

"Congratulations, Miss. Congratulations, Miss. The palace has sent a reward, saying that you have made great contributions in saving the emperor. Madam is calling you to the front yard to receive the reward!"

Jiang Ruoli was stunned.

What? !

-

Jiang Ruoli led Fuguo hurriedly to the front yard, and saw a middle-aged eunuch wearing a black robe and a bit fat sitting in the front hall with a smile on his face. Jiang Guogong was talking to him.

Seeing Jiang Ruoli, the eunuch's eyes lit up and he said, "Oh, this is Miss Jiang from the mansion, right?"

Duke Jiang smiled and said, "Replying to Eunuch He, it is my daughter."

"Not bad, not bad." Eunuch He nodded and smiled, "She is indeed beautiful and graceful, worthy of being the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo."

Jiang Ruoli thought that the old eunuch had good vision.

Then he bowed and saluted, "Greetings, sir."

Eunuch He raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite. Just accept the order."

Everyone in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion knelt down in a rush.

Jiang Ruoli was helpless. This was the only bad thing about ancient times. They had to kneel down at every turn, and their knees suffered from the pain every day.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims. Jiang Ruoli, daughter of Duke Zhenguo Jiang Lianyi, is intelligent, knowledgeable, calm in times of danger, and courageous and knowledgeable. I hereby grant her a crystal hibiscus jade ruyi, a pair of Doucai eight-treasure round bottles, a glazed white jade hairpin, and one hundred taels of silver. I decree this!"

"Thank you Lord for your grace!"

Not bad, not bad, there is still one hundred taels of silver.

Jiang Ruoli felt very happy.

In the evening, Jiang Ci Yan finally rushed back.

"How is the situation?" asked Duke Jiang.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Let Yan'er drink some water first." Mrs. Jiang complained.

Jiang Ci Yan hurriedly drank a cup of tea, took a breath, and recounted what had happened in the Xuanzheng Hall today.

"Hmph! Cheng Zongan and his family deserve it!" Duke Jiang slammed the table angrily.

Mrs. Jiang nodded. This was the best result at the moment.

However, the Cheng family was also well aware of the sudden suicide of the money shop owner.

"The shopkeeper Qian of Risheng Bank is backed by the Qian family in the east of the city. The Qian family has been engaged in business for generations. The eldest daughter of Mr. Qian married the illegitimate son of the former prime minister, and the daughter of the former prime minister is now the Imperial Concubine Jia, the mother of the third prince."

Jiang Ci Jin's analysis was also spoken to Jiang Ruoli.

[Oh my god! Is the relationship so bloated? ]

[But it seems that my parents have also discovered that there is something wrong with the third prince. ]

[Having lost the Qian family's big money bag, the Third Prince will definitely find a way to get money from other places.]

The Jiang family members agreed very much.

Duke Jiang said casually, "Oh, Third Brother, you should keep an eye on the shops and Jiangnan's businesses recently. Don't make any mistakes."

"Yes, my son understands."

[Dad is still awesome, he prepared for a rainy day! ]

Jiang Ruoli secretly gave Duke Jiang a thumbs up.

Duke Jiang coughed somewhat complacently and stroked his beard.

Jiang Ciyan remembered something and said to Jiang Ruoli, "Little sister, did you receive the reward from the palace?"

Jiang Ruoli nodded, and she felt happy when she thought of the one hundred taels.

"The emperor originally only wanted to give some gifts, but the crown prince asked for an additional 100 taels of silver, saying that this would be more practical."

Jiang Ciyan asked doubtfully, "Little sister, are you short of money?"

Boom!

Jiang Ruoli felt like a bolt of lightning struck her head.

Why is it His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again?
