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

A few days later, the Jiang family received an invitation from Princess Ningyang.

Now Princess Ningyang has moved to the Princess Mansion. The plaque of the Commandant's Mansion has been removed, and all the things in the mansion have been sold off to make up for most of the Princess's dowry.

The former Duwei Mansion is now deserted and has become a deserted house.

Coming to the princess's mansion again after a month, Jiang Ruoli couldn't help but sigh in her heart that life is really unpredictable.

This time, it was Princess Ningyang who came out to greet them in person.

After not seeing her for a few days, Princess Ningyang had become visibly thinner, and her eyes looked a little dull.

Mrs. Jiang held her hand distressedly and said, "It's all over. You still have to take care of yourself."

Ning Yang smiled bitterly, "After all, it's all because of me. If I could have a child... I wouldn't have come to this point today."

Jiang Ruoli frowned when she heard this.

Madam Jiang also disagreed, "What's wrong with the princess in this matter? If it was because of the child, you two could have come up with other solutions, but Cheng Zongan chose the worst one."

[Yes, yes, the eldest princess is obviously the victim, but now she is torturing herself for the scumbag. She is definitely being PUA! ]

[A scumbag is a scumbag. On the one hand, he covets the status of the eldest princess, and on the other hand, he finds someone else to have children and enjoy family happiness. He has all the good things. ]

Madam Jiang agreed in her heart and patiently advised, "The princess should be thankful that she has seen through his true face and not been deceived by him all the time."

Princess Ningyang nodded and listened to what Madam Jiang said.

"The eldest princess now lives in the princess's mansion, tending to flowers and plants every day. She doesn't have so many worries, and her life in the future will be so comfortable." Mrs. Jiang continued.

[Yes, yes! If I could keep ten or eight young and strong male lovers, what a wonderful life it would be! ]

Mrs. Jiang was ashamed. She didn't dare to advise the princess in this way.

After listening to Madam Jiang's advice, Princess Ningyang's expression eased a lot.

Indeed, as the eldest princess of a country, what could she not get?

Why be trapped in the miserable past?

Thinking of this, most of the depression in my heart dissipated.

Turning around and looking at Jiang Ruoli's clever look, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

I don’t know what magic this girl has, but she looks so festive.

Princess Ningyang smiled and said, "Li'er can come to the Princess's Mansion more often to accompany your aunt in the future."

Jiang Ruoli was willing to do so. "Thank you, aunt! The princess's mansion is so big and beautiful. I wish I could come here every day."

Princess Ningyang was amused by her and laughed for a while before looking at Qingying. "Go get the things."

After a while, Qingying brought a tray with a few pieces of light paper on it.

Princess Ningyang put the papers in Jiang Ruoli's hands.

Jiang Ruoli was puzzled, "Aunt, what is this?"

"This is the title deed and land deed of Baixiang Tower. I'm giving it to Li'er now," Princess Ningyang explained.

Madam Jiang and Jiang Ruoli were horrified and immediately knelt down.

"Absolutely not! It's too expensive!" Mrs. Jiang declined.

Princess Ningyang stepped forward and helped the mother and daughter up.

"No one in Kyoto knows that Baixianglou is actually my property. It was my mother who gave me this restaurant as a dowry. But I am not good at running a business, so after I got married, I gave it to Cheng Zongan to manage."

This gave Cheng Zongan the opportunity. Not only did he replace the original manager and waiters of Baixianglou with his own people, he also had secret meetings with his mistress here from time to time. The alley at the back door of the restaurant even led directly to the mistress's home.

I dare not think how many times they have seen each other secretly over the years.

But fortunately it's all over...

Princess Ningyang paused for a moment and said, "That day, Li'er risked her own life to protect me from danger. I didn't have the chance to thank you. This Baixiang Tower will be my thank you gift."

"Don't worry, the restaurant is private property and is not registered. Don't make excuses anymore."

Having said that, Mrs. Jiang couldn't refuse anymore and had to let Jiang Ruoli accept it.

The three of them chatted for a while, and when it was getting late, Madam Jiang and Jiang Ruoli left the princess's mansion.

"Mom, what should we do with this?" Jiang Ruoli pointed to the house deed and land deed placed in her sleeve.

Madam Jiang smiled and said, "Since the princess has given it to you, just keep it with peace of mind."

Jiang Ruoli scratched her head, "But I don't know how to run a restaurant..."

Wait, there is someone who can.

As soon as she returned to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, Jiang Ruoli ran to Jiang Ci Jin's yard and slammed the papers on his desk.

Jiang Cijin was startled, "Little sister, what are you doing?"

"Do you want the house and land deeds of Baixianglou?"

Jiang Ci Jin's eyes suddenly lit up, he was so excited that he picked up the papers with trembling hands to check them.

It really is!

"Where did you get this?" Jiang Ci Jin asked excitedly.

Jiang Ruoli knew that it was right to look for his third brother.

"It was a reward from Princess Ningyang. Baixiang Tower is her private property." Jiang Ruoli explained.

It turned out to be the case.

He had wanted to buy Baixianglou for a long time, but he had never been able to find the owner of this store. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Princess Ningyang.

However, since this was a reward from Princess Ningyang to his younger sister, he absolutely could not accept it.

Guessing Jiang Cijin's thoughts, Jiang Ruoli said, "Third brother, this is not for you. I want you to help me run it."

"Help you run the business?"

"Yes, the princess gave me such a huge reward. It really gives me a headache. I think it's better to leave professional matters to professionals."

"Don't worry, I won't ask you for help in vain. We'll split the profits 20-80. How about that?"

Jiang Ci Jin smiled and shook his head, then put down the house deed and land deed in his hands.

"Why? Do you think the share is too low? Then let's make it 190, 100 for me and 90 for you." Jiang Ruoli said gritting her teeth.

Baixianglou is such a big business, so 10% of the profit should be a lot of money, right?

Hearing this, Jiang Ci Jin raised his eyebrows.

"You misunderstood little sister," he said with a smile, "I don't charge a penny."

"No, I can't let you work for nothing." Jiang Ruoli immediately rejected it.

"How can helping you be in vain?"

The brother and sister couldn't reach an agreement, and finally decided to split it 50-50.

Jiang Ci Jin happily put away the house deed and land deed.

Looking at his silly happy look, Jiang Ruoli sighed:

From ancient times to the present, it is true that only money can make people so happy!

-

Dali Temple Prison.

Rows of torture racks were arranged neatly, and the dim cells revealed an eerie silence, with only the occasional rattling sound of the swinging iron chains.

Cheng Zongan sat dejectedly in the corner, still wearing the robe he wore on the day he was arrested, with disheveled hair and a dirty body.

Xiao Yujing looked at Cheng Zonghan, who was tortured beyond recognition, with a calm expression.

Feeling someone coming, Cheng Zongan raised his head with difficulty.

"Prince...your highness."

Xiao Yujing dismissed the jailer beside him.

"At this point, you still refuse to confess?"

Cheng Zongan smiled bitterly, "Your Highness, you are joking. I have confessed everything I can, and His Majesty has also issued an order to close the case."

"You know what I mean."

Xiao Yujing's voice was cold, like a bayonet stabbing Cheng Zongan.

"Do you think he will do what he promised you? Did you know that your family was assassinated after leaving the city? Your elderly mother was unfortunately stabbed, and your son broke his leg after falling off the carriage."

"All of this was arranged by him."

Cheng Zongan's originally expressionless face was filled with shock.

"No! This is impossible!"

The third prince clearly promised him to take good care of his family.

"Clang!"

A waist badge and a sachet were thrown in front of him.

Cheng Zongan picked it up with trembling hands.

He recognized it; it was the badge of the Third Prince's secret guard.

He had encountered this once before when a secret guard was reporting to the third prince. The secret guard was wearing an exactly the same badge.

The sachet was a token of his love for Wu Sanniang. When they first got together, he had someone embroider their own small words on it.

Sanniang would never show such private things to others easily. Something must have happened to them.

Cheng Zong'an's eyes were bloodshot, he held the token and sachet tightly in his hands, and spoke with difficulty.

"My mother and the others..."

"Don't worry, they are safe outside the city now." Xiao Yujing said lightly.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zongan let out a breath of foul air.

That's good.

The Third Prince...

Cheng Zongan's eyes were sharp, and he said, "Your Highness, I confess."

Xiao Yujing waved his hand, and someone immediately came forward with paper and pen.

Then he turned around and left.

"Your Highness!" Cheng Zong'an knelt and crawled forward anxiously, "Can...can I see Princess Ningyang again?"

Over the years, the person he felt most sorry for was Princess Ningyang, who once loved him deeply.

Xiao Yujing kept walking and spoke coldly.

"You do not deserve."
