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

On the day of Qiu’s birthday banquet.

Jiang Ruoli looked at Jiang Ci Yan who was standing at the door, feeling a little confused.

"Brother, are you going to the banquet today too?"

Jiang Ciyan coughed lightly and explained, "It's a day off today, and there's nothing to do at home, so why don't I go to the birthday banquet with you guys?"

Anyway, he wouldn't say that he also wanted to watch the fun.

"Oh." Jiang Ruoli nodded.

The family packed up, took the birthday gifts and headed towards the Qiu Mansion.

When she arrived at the gate of Qiu's house, Jiang Ruoli saw Qiu Guangquan standing at the door with his men to welcome guests.

Qiu Guang was over 40, not tall, and had a big belly. His eyes were always smiling, but when he looked at people, he felt uncomfortable.

After looking at Qiu Guangquan for a while, Jiang Ruoli's attention was attracted by the servant standing beside him.

What a handsome man!

He has a fair face, delicate features and a thin figure, and looks more like a woman.

Qiu Guangquan turned around and told him something, then patted his shoulder with a smile.

Jiang Ruoli looked at Qiu Guangquan's hand on the servant, which was more like touching than patting.

Jiang Ruoli felt physically unwell.

A thought suddenly flashed through my mind.

[My goodness, the attendant next to Qiu Guangquan couldn't be one of the twins who performed the live pornographic show with him?! ]

The Jiang family members immediately looked at Qiu Guangquan and the servants beside him.

[He's really a pervert to touch someone in public...]

The Jiang family members all agreed with this.

He can be so extravagant in an occasion like today, I don’t know how much more he plays on weekdays.

The servant just lowered his head, and where no one could see, there was a strong look of disgust in his eyes.

Qiu Guangquan turned around and saw Duke Jiang and his family, and hurried over to greet them.

"It is an honor to have Duke Jiang and his family here!" He said in a very happy tone.

The Third Prince has been encountering many setbacks in his work recently and things have not been going well for him.

In order to help the Third Prince relieve his worries and difficulties, and also to pave the way for his future involvement in government affairs, Qiu Guangquan set his sights on Duke Jiang.

He specially invited the Third Prince and Duke Jiang to attend the birthday banquet, hoping to win over Duke Jiang.

Although Duke Jiang was upright and honest, everyone had weaknesses. As long as he could grasp Duke Jiang's weaknesses, he would not be afraid that he would not surrender.

Even if winning him over doesn't work, once the news gets out that he and the third prince attended the banquet together, who will believe that he is not the third prince's man?

What the current emperor hates most is the factional disputes among the court officials. It is hard to say what position Duke Jiang will hold in the emperor's heart by then...

It’s a pity that the third prince did not come today.

Then he must work hard to help the third prince retain this great help.

Qiu Guangquan was thinking in his mind.

Duke Jiang really disliked Qiu Guangquan's flattering attitude, but because of today's birthday banquet, he still greeted Qiu Guangquan politely.

After saying hello, Duke Jiang and Jiang Ci Yan went to the reception room, while Jiang Ruoli followed Madam Jiang and went to the backyard with the birthday gifts.

At this time, there were already quite a few people sitting in Madam Qiu's courtyard.

Apart from the guests, there were also many female members in the Qiu family, including five concubines.

This was the result of strict discipline by the principal wife, Mrs. Qiu, not to mention the maids who served in the same room.

It’s strange to say, Qiu Guangquan had countless concubines, but none of them could give birth to a son.

Jiang Ruoli looked at Madam Qiu. The old lady was obese, with a face full of flesh and squinty eyes, but her face looked very mean.

Despite her age, she was dressed in a lot of jewels and jewelry, which made her look younger than her daughters-in-law, which was quite incongruous.

As soon as Jiang Ruoli and Madam Jiang sat down, Madam Qiu came over and started chatting with Madam Jiang.

Jiang Ruoli looked at Mrs. Qiu.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Qiu is also interesting.

When she was young and had just married into the Qiu family, she was bullied by her mother-in-law and had a very difficult life.

But she had a hot temper and pretended to be filial at first, but later she had a falling out with Old Madam Qiu and they quarreled whenever they met.

Not only that, because she couldn't give birth to a son, Mrs. Qiu was forced to accept her husband's concubines. She vented the anger she received from her mother-in-law on the concubines and illegitimate daughters.

Qiu Maner is Mrs. Qiu's eldest daughter and she has two younger sisters. Influenced by her mother, Qiu Maner has been domineering at home since she was a child and takes pleasure in bullying her other sisters.

Therefore, life in the Qiu family was always in chaos and there was never a single day of peace.

Jiang Ruoli suddenly felt a gaze.

When she looked up, she saw Qiu Maner sitting opposite her, her lips tightly pursed and her eyes fixed on her.

What is she going to do now?

Divine gold!

Jiang Ruoli really didn't want to pay attention to this kind of person, so she turned her eyes away.

Qiu Maner sat in her seat, her hands clenched into fists, her eyes full of malice.

She likes Jiang Ci Yan so much.

Just because she pulled Jiang Ruoli at Nanyan Bookstore last time, Jiang Ci Yan scolded her in public.

I didn't expect that he was actually engaged to Feng Yijun...

In that case, don't blame her for being cruel.

Who asked you to come to the birthday party today?

God is really helping her.

Jiang Ci Yan, since I can't get you, I'll destroy you!

Jiang Ruoli, you'd better take a good look later at how your noble and proud brother is being scolded by others!

Qiu Maner closed her eyes and gave instructions to the maid beside her.

Soon it was lunch time.

Since it was a birthday banquet, there was no need to be bound by etiquette, and the female members of the family came to the front hall and ate at separate tables with the men.

Jiang Ruoli didn't eat much as she was thinking about things.

Mrs. Jiang saw this and put some of Jiang Ruoli's favorite dishes into her bowl.

"Eat more Li'er. Anyway, the birthday gifts have been given to you. Don't let mother lose money." Mrs. Jiang said quietly.

Jiang Ruoli thought it made sense and started eating.

After three rounds of drinks, the men started to move around.

Qiu Guangquan was a little drunk, but he still remembered how to win over Duke Jiang, so he picked up the wine glass and walked towards the table, staggering a little.

When he came to Duke Jiang, Qiu Guangquan spoke politely.

"Duke Jiang is loyal and dedicated to helping His Majesty. I have always admired him."

"Come, I'll give you a toast!"

When he lowered his head, he saw that there was no wine in the glass. Just then, a maid came over to pour the wine and put the glass on the table.

"Pour me some wine."

After the maid poured the wine, Qiu Guangquan didn't even look at it, but picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all.

Duke Jiang also returned a toast.

The maid, whether because she was nervous or for some other reason, trembled as she carried the tray away.

As a result, he accidentally stepped on empty air when going down the stairs, and all the wine jugs and glasses on the tray spilled onto Jiang Ci Yan and Qiu Guang Quan.

Jiang Ci Yan was fine, only his lower body clothes were a little wet.

Qiu Guangquan's chest was soaked with wine.

"You!" Qiu Guangquan opened his mouth to scold.

"Master, please spare me! Master, please spare me!" The maid quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

At the banquet, Qiu Guangquan was not in a good mood, so he suppressed his anger and said to Jiang Ciyan:

"Master Xiao Jiang, I am truly sorry. I was a servant of the mansion and did not know the seriousness of the matter. I offended you. Please do not take it to heart."

"It's okay, it's not a big deal." Jiang Ci Yan said quickly.

Seeing Jiang Ciyan's wet clothes, Qiu Guangquan said, "Master Jiang, let someone take you to deal with your clothes."

He also had to change his clothes.

Jiang Ci Yan also wanted to find a place to wipe the wine stains off his body. Although there were no clean clothes here, at least he could clean himself up.

Thinking about it, he nodded.

Qiu Guangquan looked at the maid kneeling beside him and said, "Why don't you take Master Xiao Jiang to clean up the guest room?"

"Yes." The maid quickly stood up and was about to take Jiang Ci Yan away.

The noise here attracted the attention of the women.

When Jiang Ruoli heard the noise, she put down her chopsticks and looked towards the man.

When she saw Jiang Ci Yan's wet clothes, she suddenly remembered what she had forgotten.

I rely on!

【Big brother! It’s big brother! 】

[Although Qiu Guangquan is lustful and horny, he would not mess around at such an important occasion as his mother's birthday party.]

[The reason why he did that in broad daylight was because he accidentally drank a glass of wine spiked with aphrodisiac.]

[And that glass of wine originally belonged to Big Brother! ]

what? !

Duke Jiang, Madam Jiang, and Jiang Ci Yan were all stunned where they were.
