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

Two rabbits were roasted temporarily, and during this delay, Xiao Yujing heard the palace servants inform him that Jiang Ruoli had gone to Minghua Palace.

I never expected to hear Jiang Ruoli's "bold words."

Xiao Yujing's face turned a little dark.

"Your Highness." Eunuch Wu looked at Xiao Yujing's face and stepped forward and said, "The small kitchen in the East Palace roasted two rabbits today. Your Highness the Crown Prince sent them to the princess to try."

Then he looked at Jiang Ruoli and said, "It just so happens that the Princess of Leping County is here too, so it's a good opportunity for her to try it too."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the eunuch next to him brought up two food boxes.

Roast rabbit?

Xiao Yuyao was confused.

The emperor brother has never sent her food before, what's wrong with him today?

But who cares? As long as no one finds her albums of handsome men, it’ll be fine.

Xiao Yuyao bowed and thanked, "Thank you, my royal brother."

Jiang Ruoli also followed suit and when she smelled the aroma of the roasted rabbit, she couldn't help swallowing.

She could eat roasted rabbit again. She had been missing the rabbit meat from the last autumn hunt for a long time.

Seeing Jiang Ruoli's greedy look, Xiao Yujing's gloomy face brightened up a little.

Seeing that the things had been delivered, Xiao Yujing did not stay any longer and got up and walked out.

Xiao Yuyao breathed a sigh of relief.

When he was almost at the door, Xiao Yujing suddenly stopped, turned around and spoke.

"By the way, Yuyao, if you want male favorites, my brother can arrange a few for you."

"After all, the feel of a real person is better than a picture album that you can only look at but not touch."

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Ruoli deeply, then turned and left.

Hearing Xiao Yujing's words, Xiao Yuyao wailed in her heart.

Ruined!

Been heard!

Jiang Ruoli was very angry.

How come His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has the habit of eavesdropping?

......

The weather was getting colder and colder, and winter was here in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Ruoli also changed from autumn clothes to winter clothes.

"Mother, why does it seem like Li'er has grown taller?"

Mrs. Jiang stroked Jiang Ruoli's sleeve and said.

Jiang Ruoli also felt it.

After all, the original body is only 14 years old and is still growing.

Not only has he grown taller, but he's also gained some weight.

Especially around the chest, the clothes are a bit tight.

This year's winter clothes were made a month ago, and the size is a little small.

"Madam Xu, please go and invite the embroiderer from the clothing shop. Li'er's winter clothes need to be remade." Madam Jiang arranged.

"Yes." Nanny Xu responded.

"By the way, Madam, the Qiu Mansion just sent us an invitation, saying that the day after tomorrow is the 80th birthday of Old Madam Qiu in the mansion, and they would like to invite you and the master to go together."

The Qiu Mansion is the residence of the current Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Qiu Guangquan, and also the home of Qiu Maner.

However, on weekdays, the Qiu Mansion and the Zhenguo Mansion basically have no contact. Minister Qiu is a smooth talker, and Duke Jiang and he rarely have any interactions in the court. How could he send the post to the Zhenguo Mansion?

After thinking about it, Mrs. Jiang was about to refuse.

"you......"

[Qiu Mansion, is it Qiu Maner's home? ]

[She heard that her elder brother was engaged, so she was anxious? ]

[Qiu Maner's father loved money like his life, and took advantage of his position to make a lot of money. Later, he got on the Third Prince's boat and helped him deal with many opponents. Not long after, he was promoted to the Minister of Personnel. He secretly sold official positions and titles, making the court a mess.]

[It was because of the Third Prince that Qiu Maner had the opportunity to marry the eldest brother, and was able to divorce smoothly after the eldest brother got into trouble, and escaped unscathed.]

[I get angry when I think of how Qiu Maner made her mother so angry that she had a stroke!!!]

Mrs. Jiang frowned.

I heard Yan'er mention this matter before. It seems that I can't go to this birthday party.

[This Minister Qiu is not only greedy for money, but also extremely lustful, and he is attracted to both men and women.]

[I remember a live sex scene was performed in front of the guests at a banquet. I think it was between twin siblings...]

These words were like a thunderclap exploding in Mrs. Jiang's ears.

Li'er, what did you say?!

[Is it at this birthday party? ]

[But I remember my mother and her family also went there...]

[Oh yes, at that time, with the help of the letter from the Third Prince, Qiu Maner and Big Brother’s marriage was already on the agenda. As future in-laws, the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion naturally came to attend the birthday banquet.]

[But now that we don't have this relationship anymore, would mother still want to go? ]

Thinking of this, Jiang Ruoli subconsciously glanced at Mrs. Jiang.

After hearing Jiang Ruoli's words, Mrs. Jiang, who originally didn't want to go, made a plan in her mind.

"Madam Xu, go and tell them that the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion will definitely bring gifts to the door the day after tomorrow."

Just to watch the fun, who wouldn’t want to go?

Mrs. Jiang thought.

Jiang Ruoli was a little excited.

But she always felt that she had missed something important.

What is it......

When Duke Jiang and Jiang Ci Yan returned home, Madam Jiang told them what happened at the Qiu Mansion.

Duke Jiang stroked his beard and thought.

The Ministry of Personnel was mainly responsible for tasks such as the appointment and dismissal of officials and their deployment. It was a department that was extremely prone to bribery and behind-the-scenes manipulation.

However, the Minister of Personnel is a veteran minister of two dynasties, promoted by the previous emperor himself. He is loyal and has been strictly managing the officials of the Ministry of Personnel for many years.

I didn't expect that Qiu Guangquan would still slip through the net.

However, Qiu Guangquan is a very cunning person and he likes to complain about his poverty all the time.

Humph, anything that has been done will definitely leave clues.

"Yan'er, go contact the spies and ask them to find evidence of Qiu Guangquan's bribery before tomorrow night."

"Yes." Jiang Ci Yan agreed.

"After you find the evidence, find a way to send it to the Censorate... No, send it to the residence of the Chief Censor."

Since Qiu Guangquan is the Third Prince's man, the Jiang family cannot be the one to directly provide evidence. Now is not the time to confront the Third Prince.

The Duke Zhenguo's Mansion cannot become a target.

The Chief Censor is a member of the prince's party. After receiving the evidence, he will definitely hand it over to the prince for a decision. The Jiang family is thus doing him a favor.

But according to the prince's methods, he will definitely be able to find out where the evidence comes from.

In this way, the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion has chosen to stand on the side of the Crown Prince...

"Dad, have you really thought it through?"

Jiang Ci Yan obviously thought of this as well.

Duke Jiang sighed.

Now that he is in the court, it is not easy to be a lone minister. In the end, as Li'er said, he was framed and his entire family was executed.

Since God has given the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion a chance to start over, why not give it a try.

This time, he will not let the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion go to destruction!

What's more, the prince is the future emperor, so there is no problem in supporting him.

Thinking of this, Duke Jiang nodded solemnly, "The road ahead is really like walking on thin ice."

Jiang Ci Yan's heart trembled, and he understood what his father was thinking.

"My son knows."

The next day, late at night.

Chief Censor Zhu Wenliang was reading the files of the day's case in his study.

There have been frequent personnel transfers in various departments recently, and the supervision of officials has added a lot of work pressure to them.

At this time, the personal attendant came in hurriedly with a serious look on his face to report.

"Sir, someone claims to be a servant of the Minister of Personnel, Mr. Qiu, and is here to accuse Qiu Guangquan of corruption and bribery!"
