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

Jiang Ci Jin spoke with gritted teeth.

"It's like this, I promised Brother Murong to live in my house..."

There's no way. Once you've promised something to someone, you can't go back on your word in front of them, right?

Madam Jiang sighed silently and exchanged glances with Duke Jiang.

"In that case, Madam Xu, please go and clean up a guest room for Master Murong to stay in." Madam Jiang put a smile on her face again.

"Yes, ma'am."

Thinking of Murong Xiao's identity, the Jiang family members felt a little melancholy.

What is the purpose of this big Buddha coming to the Jiang family?

The others were somewhat restrained, but Jiang Ruoli stared at Murong Xiao without hesitation, trying to detect his thoughts.

Murong Xiao felt the atmosphere in the hall and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Why does he feel that the Jiang family doesn't like him?

He looked at Jiang Ruoli and saw that she was staring at him.

His heart suddenly softened and he smiled at her.

Jiang Ruoli's scalp felt numb.

What exactly is this person's intention...

Murong Xiao stayed in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, with only two servants by his side.

It was a cold winter night.

After dinner, Murong Xiao walked all the way to the backyard and saw Jiang Ruoli standing in front, seemingly waiting for someone.

Walking quickly to her side, he took off the cloak he was wearing and put it on her.

"It's cold at night, why don't you wear a cloak?"

Jiang Ruoli, who was about to speak, was stunned by his intimate behavior.

Feeling the warmth coming from her body, she stared at him in a daze.

What's happening here? !

"you......"

"Ok?"

Murong Xiao lowered his head to adjust the laces of his cloak and responded softly.

A group of alpacas ran wildly through Jiang Ruoli's heart.

What is he doing?

After tying the laces, Murong Xiao moved his gaze to her face and looked at her intently.

"What do you want to say?" The voice was gentle and calm.

Jiang Ruoli barely found her voice.

"Why are you back in Kyoto?"

Could it be that he changed his mind and wanted to kill Xiao Yujing again?

He was not surprised that Jiang Ruoli recognized him.

Murong Xiao saw through what she was thinking at a glance.

"Don't worry, I won't touch him."

"I came back this time to see someone..."

Emotions surged in Murong Xiao's eyes.

"who?"

Jiang Ruoli was puzzled.

Murong Xiao calmed himself down and raised his hand to gently tap her forehead.

"Children should not ask about adult matters."

Jiang Ruoli covered her forehead in dissatisfaction, "I am not a child anymore..."

"Well, you're not a child anymore." Murong Xiao chuckled.

Jiang Ruoli felt that after not seeing her for a while, Saint Lingjia seemed like a different person.

Compared to his previous coldness and alienation, he now seemed to have an inexplicable closeness and doting towards her.

Does this person change his personality just by changing his vest?

"What are you thinking about?" Murong Xiao saw that she was a little distracted.

Jiang Ruoli withdrew her thoughts.

"I'm warning you, if you come to Kyoto, it's best if you really just see people. If you dare to hurt others, I'll make you pay!"

After saying that, he shook his fist at him menacingly.

Murong Xiao couldn't help but laugh softly.

"Okay, it's up to you."

-

Kunhe Palace.

Xiao Yujing rarely had time to have dinner with the Queen.

The mother and son finished their meal quietly. The Queen took the hot tea offered by the palace maid and drank it in small sips.

Xiao Yujing waved his hand, and Eunuch Wu came over with a tray.

There was a box of rouge on the tray.

"Your Majesty, this is the new Jade Face Cream offered by Jiangnan. His Highness prepared it specially for you." Eunuch Wu said with a smile.

"Oh?"

The Queen took the Jade Face Cream, opened it and smelled it.

"It tastes good. Jing'er is thoughtful."

Xiao Yujing smiled faintly and picked up the teacup.

The Queen looked at him with interest.

She remembered that among Jiangnan’s tribute this time, there seemed to be two boxes of Jade Face Cream…

The Queen's gaze was too direct, and Xiao Yujing had no choice but to look at her.

"Mother, what do you want?"

The Queen withdrew her gaze and said, "There is one thing..."

"The eldest princess came to the palace yesterday and praised Princess Leping highly."

Xiao Yujing's ears twitched.

The Queen glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.

"Princess Leping has been very popular among the noble families in Kyoto recently. Several ministers in the court who have sons of marriageable age have expressed their desire to marry her to Duke Jiang..."

Xiao Yujing's grip on the teacup suddenly tightened.

The Queen raised the corners of her lips calmly.

"I wonder who will marry Princess Leping in the end?"

She looked at Xiao Yujing.

"Jing'er, which young master do you think is suitable?"

Eunuch Wu stood behind trembling with fear and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Your Majesty, you are really poking His Highness in the heart...

Xiao Yujing frowned.

Hearing the Queen's question, he placed the teacup on the table neither lightly nor heavily.

"boom."

His voice was restrained and polite, just like him.

Xiao Yujing looked towards the Queen, with helplessness in her eyes.

"Mother, please stop causing trouble..."

The Queen couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Only the girl from the Jiang family can control her arrogant and proud son!

She looked at Xiao Yujing with a smile on her face.

"Then you should hurry up, I'm still waiting to hold my grandson..."

Xiao Yujing smiled helplessly, "Yes, I understand."

After returning to the East Palace, Xiao Yujing's face was still somewhat gloomy.

When he thought of that short-sighted request to marry Li'er, he felt so angry that he had no way to vent it.

Eunuch Wu waited on the side trembling with fear.

Princess Leping, when will you agree to His Highness's request?

At this time, Jia Zuo came into the hall.

"Your Highness..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he saw Eunuch Wu winking at him desperately.

What's going on here?

I glanced at Xiao Yujing secretly and found him sitting aside with a gloomy face.

Obviously in a bad mood.

When he thought about what he was going to report, his heart skipped a beat.

It's bad. It comes at the wrong time.

Just as he was about to find an excuse to slip out, Xiao Yujing spoke in a cold voice:

"I have something to say, why are you wasting time?"

It's not that I'm in a bad mood, it's that I'm in a very bad mood.

Jia Zuo gritted his teeth and spoke:

"Your Highness, I just received news that the leader of the Xuanying Sect has moved into the Zhenguo Mansion under the identity of Murong Xiao..."

"what?"

Xiao Yujing glanced over with sharp eyes.

"Didn't he go back to the Southern Dynasty?!"

Kazuki broke out in a cold sweat. "Well, I have found out that the other party's return to Kyoto may be related to Princess Leping..."

When Xiao Yujing heard this, his eyebrows jumped.

Pear?

When did the two of them become involved?

Xiao Yujing's face was so gloomy that water could drip from it.

Ah.

Sure enough, he was still too restrained towards her.

All kinds of cats and dogs dare to get close to her...

The temperature in the hall dropped suddenly, and Jiazuo and Eunuch Wu couldn't help but shiver.

The weather is getting colder.

Late at night, at the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

There was a knock on the door of Duke Jiang's study.

Duke Jiang and Jiang Cijin in the room looked at each other and spoke in a deep voice:

"Enter."

The door was opened from the outside, revealing a face that captivated everyone.
