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

Jiang Ruoli came to the palace gate in a sedan chair.

As soon as he got off the sedan chair, he saw Madam Jiang standing at the palace gate, waiting anxiously.

"Mom!" Jiang Ruoli ran over quickly.

When Mrs. Jiang saw her daughter, she quickly hugged her in her arms.

"Is there anything wrong? Are you still feeling uncomfortable in your stomach?" Mrs. Jiang asked with concern.

Jiang Ruoli shook her head.

The mother and daughter got into the carriage.

"Mother, where are father and brothers?"

"Your father and brothers have gone back home first." Mrs. Jiang said, holding Jiang Ruoli's hand.

Today is New Year's Eve, and the mansion still has to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner and other things, so Duke Jiang took his three sons and went back first.

Jiang Ruoli nodded.

Looking at her daughter's rosy face, which obviously looked like she had just woken up, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but ask, "Li'er, what happened?"

Jiang Ruoli scratched her head and told Madam Jiang everything that happened in the Eastern Palace.

After saying that, he took out three boxes of different sizes from his sleeve and opened them to show Mrs. Jiang.

"This one was given by Princess Yuyao, this one was given by the Crown Prince, and this one was awarded by the Queen..."

Mrs. Jiang looked at the valuable gift in front of her with a gloomy expression.

It is understandable that Princess Yuyao gave gifts.

The Queen can also make sense.

But why, Your Highness the Crown Prince?

The gift is such a valuable one, and there is also this jade leaf...

Seeing that Jiang Ruoli had been looking at the small gourd, Madam Jiang asked tentatively, "Does Lier like the gift from the prince very much?"

"Yes." Jiang Ruoli said without hesitation, "Because this is the most valuable!"

Seeing her daughter's money-obsessed look, Mrs. Jiang felt helpless.

It turned out that she was overthinking.

But I couldn't help but remind him, "Don't drink casually outside in the future. The prince protected you this time, but it's hard to say next time."

Jiang Ruoli nodded. It was indeed her fault this time. She should be more careful in the future.

The carriage drove towards the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

Concubine Jia drank a little too much at noon, so Xiao Yuheng sent her back to the palace. After she sat for a while, she got up and left.

When passing by Kunhe Palace, he saw palace servants carrying a sedan chair towards them, and he raised his hand to stop them.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Third Prince." The maid knelt down and saluted.

Xiao Yuheng nodded, "What is this?"

"Your Highness, during the palace banquet, Princess Leping suffered from severe abdominal pain, so the Empress allowed her to rest in Kunhe Palace. I just went to see Princess Leping off."

Princess of Leping County.

Xiao Yuheng thought for a long time before he remembered that the Princess of Leping County was the daughter of the Jiang family.

Since she is a county princess, it is not excessive for her to use a sedan chair in the palace.

But she came from the Queen's Palace...

Thinking of the prince’s messy clothes during the palace banquet.

A cold light flashed in Xiao Yuheng's eyes.

He seemed to have discovered something, something extraordinary.

-

On New Year's Eve, the whole of Kyoto was filled with joy.

With big red lanterns hung up and spring couplets and window decorations pasted up, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was decorated very festively.

Mrs. Jiang arranged for the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.

Duke Jiang also gave the servants in his mansion a holiday early.

Those who wanted to go home could go home, and those who couldn’t go home, the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion also prepared a New Year’s Eve dinner for them. Men and women sat at each table, drinking and chatting, and they were very relaxed and comfortable.

Dinner was about to start, so Mrs. Jiang sent someone to invite Doctor Liu and Chuan Gu over.

Since Zhang Huaiyun was still unable to get out of bed, Madam Jiang arranged for someone to deliver several sumptuous dishes to him.

After everyone was seated, Duke Jiang raised his glass and laughed loudly:

"This year, the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion has passed peacefully. I hope that next year we can reach a higher level! Cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate.

Jiang Ruoli also picked up the teacup in front of her and raised it in a gesture.

This is her first Spring Festival here.

Although she didn't know how many Spring Festivals she could spend here, Jiang Ruoli was deeply touched when she saw the Jiang family's warm smiles and thought about their care for her.

The tea was very hot, and the steaming vapor made her eyes moist.

Duke Jiang was happy and kept drinking with his three sons. Soon, Doctor Liu joined them.

Mrs. Jiang kept picking up food for Jiang Ruoli and Chuan Gu.

"Chuan Gu, you're still growing, so eat more." The more Mrs. Jiang looked at Chuan Gu, the more she liked him.

Chuan Gu grinned at Mrs. Jiang, looking very happy.

When they were almost done eating, Jiang Ruoli thought about the gift.

Fuguo took Yuanxin to the side room to join in the fun, and placed the gift in the front hall before leaving.

Jiang Ruoli brought the gifts and distributed them one by one.

"Dad, this is for you." Jiang Ruoli handed the kneepad to Duke Jiang, "You can wear it when you go to court in the future, so your knees won't be cold!"

Duke Jiang laughed and said happily, "My daughter is so thoughtful!"

Jiang Ruoli smiled.

Handing the exquisite wooden box to Madam Jiang, Jiang Ruoli said, "I know that you always suffer from insomnia, so I specially selected some spices to help you sleep. You can try it."

Mrs. Jiang took the wooden box, tears welled up in her eyes, and she caressed Jiang Ruoli's head lovingly.

"These are my brother's four treasures of the study..."

"This is my second brother's dagger..."

Jiang Ci Yan and Jiang Ci An were very happy to receive Jiang Ruoli's gift.

Jiang Ci Jin looked at Jiang Ruoli eagerly, but after she gave the gift to Jiang Ci'an, she stopped moving.

"Little sister, where is your third brother's?" Jiang Ci Jin stretched out his hand.

"Um... Third brother, you are so rich, you don't need this gift from me, right?" Jiang Ruoli said embarrassedly.

"What did you say?!" Jiang Cijin covered his chest in disbelief, "My whole family has it, but I don't?!"

"My heart aches!" he said while beating his chest.

Jiang Ruoli was amused by his funny look.

"Okay, here you go." Jiang Ruoli took out a red string from her sleeve, "I made this myself, you can't throw it away!"

"Okay!" Jiang Ci Jin's expression changed immediately. He happily took the red rope and put it on his wrist.

The whole family was filled with joy.

"boom!"

The sound of fireworks was heard outside, followed by Fuguo's loud shouting.

"There are fireworks! Come out and see the fireworks!"

The whole family came outside, and the servants who stayed in the mansion also gathered in the yard.

Brilliant fireworks bloomed from the direction of the imperial palace.

Jiang Ci Jin ordered the servant to drag over a large box.

"Little sister, come here and set off the fireworks!" Jiang Ci Jin laughed loudly.

fireworks?

Jiang Ruoli ran over.

I saw that the box was full of large firecrackers.

Fireworks are precious, and those that can be set off continuously are even rarer. They can only be set off in the imperial palace.

However, Jiang Ci Jin was not short of money, so he asked someone to buy a box of fireworks for individual settings just to please his younger sister.

Jiang Ci Jin placed the fireworks on the ground and lit the fuse with incense.

"boom!"

With a bang, a firework exploded in the air.

This caused a cry of surprise in the courtyard.

"Third brother, let me do it!"

Jiang Ruoli set off fireworks with great interest.

After a while, seeing Fuguo standing by with great interest, Jiang Ruoli handed the incense in her hand to Fuguo.

"Fuguo, come here."

"Thank you, miss!"

Fuguo excitedly set off a firework, and there was another round of cheers.

Looking at Yuan Xin who was standing beside him, Fuguo stuffed the incense into her hands.

"Yuan Xin, you put one too."

Yuan Xin was at a loss, "I...I don't dare."

"There's nothing to be afraid of, go quickly." Fuguo urged.

Yuan Xin still didn't dare.

Yuan Guang came over, took his sister's hand, and went over to light the fireworks.

"boom!"

The brilliant fireworks illuminated the everlasting hope in the eyes of the siblings.

Everyone kept making noise until midnight, when the New Year arrived.

The family spoke auspicious words and wished each other well.

Jiang Ruoli took the big red envelope given by the Jiang family and returned to her room.

Taking out an exquisitely carved peach wood hairpin from the compartment at the head of the bed, Jiang Ruoli placed the hairpin in Fuguo's hand.

"Miss, this is..." Fuguo was a little excited, "Is this for me?"

Jiang Ruoli smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, Miss!" Fuguo happily put the hairpin into his arms.

After diligently helping Jiang Ruoli to get on the bed and extinguishing the candles, Fuguo bowed and left.

The room is dark.

Jiang Ruoli lay on the bed, unable to sleep.

He stared blankly at the curtain hanging above.

Suddenly, a tear flowed from the corner of my eye and fell into my hair.

"Dad, mom..."
