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

Jiang Ruoli has been a bit busy these days.

Xiao Yujing's birthday is in seven days. After much thought, she decided to give him a sachet embroidered by herself.

However, her embroidery skills were limited, so she asked Madam Jiang to find a famous embroiderer in Kyoto to come to her house for two hours every day to teach her embroidery.

She embroidered a picture of the rising sun at sea, which was relatively simpler than the floral patterns used by women and more suitable for men to wear.

Today the embroiderer had just left, and Jiang Ruoli was embroidering stitch by stitch according to her instructions.

This is the fifth one she has embroidered.

If she still can't finish embroidering this, she will have to start over again, and by then she won't be able to send it out in time for Xiao Yujing's birthday.

Jiang Ruoli embroidered two stitches and looked at the slightly crooked morning sun, feeling a little discouraged.

It seems so easy for the embroiderer to do it, so why is it so difficult for her?

Jiang Ruoli threw the embroidery frame on the table, regretting doing this a little.

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Fuguo picked up the embroidery frame and took a look at it.

"Miss, I think you embroider very well!"

Jiang Ruoli raised her eyelids and said, "Thank you for wanting to comfort me."

"Really, Miss." Fuguo said seriously, "Embroiderers make a living from this, so their embroidery skills are naturally impeccable, but Miss's embroidery skills are much better now than before!"

Jiang Ruoli thought of the pile of horrible handkerchiefs embroidered by her original body.

Well, she is indeed much stronger now.

Jiang Ruoli was excited again and ready to do a great job.

"Miss, the madam is here." A maid outside reported.

"Hurry, put away the embroidery frame!" Jiang Ruoli ordered quickly.

Fuguo hurriedly put away the embroidery frame and thread.

As soon as Mrs. Jiang entered the room, she saw the master and servant frantically trying to hide something.

Mrs. Jiang pretended not to see it and walked to the table calmly and sat down.

"Mother, why are you here?"

Jiang Ruoli hugged Mrs. Jiang's arm and acted coquettishly.

Madam Jiang touched her face lovingly, "Why, mother can't come?"

"How could that be? Mother can come to Li'er's room whenever she wants." Jiang Ruoli smiled sweetly.

Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but sigh in emotion as she looked at her daughter who was becoming more and more beautiful.

The skinny little baby back then has now grown up...

She knew that Li'er had asked her to invite an embroiderer a few days ago to prepare a birthday gift for the Crown Prince, but since she refused to say, she would not ask any more questions.

but......

"Li'er, tell your mother the truth, you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..." Mrs. Jiang asked tentatively.

Jiang Ruoli was stunned.

Did mother see through it?

She bit her lip and shook her head gently, "Mother, His Highness and I...it's nothing."

There is really nothing for now, but she has decided to confess to him on his birthday, and she doesn't know if he will refuse.

Thinking of her plan, Jiang Ruoli felt a little embarrassed.

However, Mrs. Jiang misunderstood what Jiang Ruoli meant.

She frowned slightly, feeling unhappy.

What's wrong with this Crown Prince?

He clearly seems to be very close to Li'er, but Li'er says that they have nothing to do with each other. Is he playing a trick on Li'er?

If Xiao Yujing heard this, he would definitely cry out in injustice, because it was clearly Jiang Ruoli who rejected him!

Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Ruoli with a serious face.

"In that case, I can rest assured to show you my fortune."

The shame on Jiang Ruoli's face paused and she looked at Madam Jiang.

What does mother mean by this?

Madam Jiang looked at her gently and spoke softly:

"Mother, I won't hide it from you, Li'er. Ever since you were named Princess Leping by the Emperor, the gate of our Zhenguo Mansion has been trampled by matchmakers from the capital. All the noble families with sons of marriageable age are eager to become relatives with us."

"Mother will naturally not let Li'er get married too early, but there's nothing wrong with meeting someone in advance. If you find someone you like, you can ask about it in advance..."

This situation has been going on for some time, but considering the relationship between Li'er and the prince, she had kept it to herself and had not told Li'er.

Jiang Ruoli's face turned pale when she heard this.

"Mother...did you find anything you like?"

Madam Jiang shook her head and said, "Don't worry, Li'er. Mother hasn't started to look for a date yet. This is your lifelong event, so I will naturally follow your opinion."

"Tell the truth to mother, you really have no feelings for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Jiang Ruoli bit her lower lip tightly. After a while, she spoke softly:

"Mother, actually I..."

Mrs. Jiang understood, but she felt complicated.

On the one hand, she could see that the Crown Prince also had feelings for Li'er, and it would be best if the two of them were in love with each other.

But on the other hand, the prince is still the prince, and Li'er will not be the only woman for him...

Jiang Ruoli saw the worry in Mrs. Jiang's eyes, she smiled and comforted Mrs. Jiang.

"Mother, you don't have to worry about me. I know what I am doing."

Since she decided to respond to Xiao Yujing's feelings, she had already prepared for the worst.

When she loves, she is open and honest, and when she leaves, she will also leave gracefully.

Mrs. Jiang knew that she couldn't stop her daughter, and she didn't even think about stopping her.

"Okay, no matter what decision Li'er makes, mother will support you."

Jiang Ruoli's eyes suddenly felt sore, and she quickly lowered her head and leaned in Mrs. Jiang's arms.

Fortunately, she still has the Jiang family...

Mrs. Jiang returned to the front hall, bringing in a hint of cool air.

Sitting down at the main seat, Duke Jiang attentively handed over a cup of hot tea.

"Ma'am, what did Li'er say?"

Mrs. Jiang took the teacup, took a sip calmly, and spoke slowly:

"Those who propose marriage should all be rejected."

"Ah?" Duke Jiang was stunned.

Madam Jiang glanced at him coldly, "Why, do you really want your daughter to get married?"

"No, no, no, that's not the case!" Duke Jiang scratched his head, "But why?"

These days he has been annoyed by officials in the court, each of whom has set his sights on his precious daughter.

He wished that Li'er could stay in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion for the rest of her life.

"Li'er has someone she likes." Mrs. Jiang said lightly.

"Ah?" Duke Jiang was even more shocked. "Whose brat is this?!"

Mrs. Jiang was speechless at his slowness.

"You really didn't notice anything?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s affection is clearly written on his face!

"What..." Duke Jiang looked at Madam Jiang in astonishment.

Ugh......

Mrs. Jiang sighed silently and rolled her eyes at him.

Well, if he knew that his daughter would enter the palace in the future, he would probably tear the roof off the East Palace.

Receiving Mrs. Jiang's cold eyes, Duke Jiang became even more confused.

Whose son is this?...

Two more days passed.

Early in the morning, the servant ran quickly to the front yard with a letter.

"Madam! There's a letter from the Third Young Master!"

Madam Xu quickly took the letter from the servant and presented it to Madam Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang opened the letter and read its contents carefully, her heart filled with joy.

"Jin'er is coming back!"
