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

Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here?

Jiang Ruoli blinked.

"Why, are you surprised to see me?"

Jiang Ruoli's dazed look pleased Xiao Yujing.

Jiang Cijin explained: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to Yangping County with us."

Yangping County?

Jiang Cijin gave a brief account of the situation in Yangping County.

He also learned this morning that his elder brother had gone to the palace to meet the Crown Prince last night and informed him of a case of smuggling salt in Jiangnan.

Unexpectedly, because of the Yangping County incident, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also had to go to Jiangnan secretly.

In order to prevent his tracks from being exposed, he did not follow the team that set out three days later, but got on the Jiang family's carriage in advance.

After listening to Jiang Ci Jin's explanation, Jiang Ruoli remembered.

[It is true that a riot among salt workers occurred in Yangping County, but the Third Prince was supposed to investigate the incident.]

[I remember that the Third Prince did not find any problems after checking. It was just a conflict between a few officers and soldiers and the salt workers, and it was finally left unresolved...]

Xiao Yujing frowned.

Such a big thing happened, and so many salt workers died, but in the end it was left unresolved.

It seems that the incident in Yangping County is also related to the third brother.

Jiang Ruoli looked at Xiao Yujing and Jiang Cijin.

She always felt that she had missed some key point.

Salt field, salt workers.

Smuggling salt.

saltworks......

Private salt...

【Holy shit! 】

[Could it be that the smuggled salt that was smuggled out to sea was produced by the Yangping County Salt Field?! ]

[Otherwise, why would the black-hearted county magistrate expand production? He must have sold the extra salt privately! ]

They all worked for the court, and no one wanted to do more work after completing their quota.

Unless, it is profitable.

Jiang Ruoli was very sure.

Xiao Yujing's eyes paused.

He thought so too.

Last night, Jiang Ci'an came to the palace late at night and told him that someone was smuggling salt. He felt that the Yangping County case must be related to this matter.

Jiang Ci Jin was a little surprised.

What my sister said is possible.

So, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here?

Jiang Ruoli looked at Xiao Yujing.

[It's true, your Highness looks really good in this gentlemanly outfit. ]

The two people who were lost in thought were slightly startled when they heard Jiang Ruoli's words.

Jiang Ci Jin was speechless.

Little sister, you are really greedy and lustful.

Xiao Yujing's eyes were full of smiles as he met Jiang Ruoli's gaze.

"Don't call me Your Highness when you're out."

"What is that called?" Jiang Ruoli asked puzzledly.

【Xiao Yujing? 】

【Yu Jing? 】

【Brother Jing? 】

A hint of unnaturalness flashed across Xiao Yujing's face.

Jiang Ci Jin rolled his eyes.

"Just call me Master Yun."

"Mr. Yun?"

"Well, my name is Yunzhi." Xiao Yujing explained.

It turned out to be the case.

Yunzhi, Mr. Yun...

Jiang Ruoli repeated the name silently.

Feeling Xiao Yujing's gaze, Jiang Ruoli met his eyes and smiled sweetly.

Jiang Ci Jin looked at the two people flirting with each other and felt that he was very annoying here.

The carriage stopped and started along the way, and arrived at Deguang County in Jiangnan on the fifth day.

Mrs. Jiang's maternal family lives here.

The carriage stopped outside the gate of Xie's house.

As soon as Jiang Ruoli got off the car, she saw a lot of people standing outside the door.

A vigorous old man, leaning on a cane, stood at the front of the crowd.

"Grandpa!"

Jiang Ci Jin jumped out of the car and ran quickly to Mr. Xie.

"You little brat! Do you still remember your grandparents' house?"

Mr. Xie raised the walking stick in his hand and knocked Jiang Ci Jin's thigh in pretending to be angry.

Jiang Ci Jin kept dodging and screaming “Ouch, ouch”.

"Grandfather, please forgive me. I brought my little sister to see you!"

As soon as Jiang Ci Jin finished speaking, the family's eyes suddenly turned in the direction of Jiang Ruoli.

Jiang Ruoli, who was standing next to Xiao Yujing, suddenly felt nervous.

"Is this Li'er?"

Mr. Xie walked towards Jiang Ruoli with a smile on his face.

Jiang Ruoli hurried over to meet him.

"Grandfather...Father."

"Good, good, you really look like your mother."

Jiang Ruoli was ashamed.

My grandfather’s eyesight is not good because he is old.

The Xie family had only seen Jiang Ruoli once, when she held her full-month banquet, and she was still a baby at that time.

This was the first time Jiang Ruoli saw her after she grew up.

The whole family gathered around and started talking about their concern.

Jiang Ruoli was a little flattered.

Jiang Ci Jin shook his head helplessly.

"Grandfather, let's go inside and talk."

"Yes, yes, everyone come in, come in." said my aunt Xu.

Mr. Xie raised his head and looked at the elegant young man standing in front of the carriage.

"Who is this......"

Jiang Cijin started to introduce: "This is my good friend Mr. Yun in Kyoto. His family is also in business. He heard that I was coming to Jiangnan and followed me here."

Mr. Xie looked at the man in front of him.

He has a handsome face and an aura of coolness.

Even wearing a white jade robe, it could not conceal the kingly aura emanating from him.

There was a sharp look in Mr. Xie's cloudy eyes.

This person is not just a simple businessman.

Facing Mr. Xie's scrutiny, Xiao Yujing stood calmly.

Mr. Xie put on a smile again and said, "So you are Jin'er's friend. You must be a guest of the Xie Mansion. Come in."

After saying that, he took Jiang Ruoli into the mansion.

Jiang Ruoli was warmly received by the Xie family and was finally able to return to her room to catch her breath.

Knowing that she did not bring a maid with her to Jiangnan this time, her aunt specially arranged for a clever maid to serve her.

"Miss cousin, just tell me what you need." The maid Hua Rui stood aside.

Jiang Ruoli waved her hand, signaling her to step back first.

After traveling for such a long time, she was already very tired.

She didn't expect the Xie family to be so enthusiastic. She forced herself to respond, but she was exhausted at this time.

Jiang Ruoli fell into a deep sleep on the bed.

When I woke up again, it was already dark.

Jiang Ruoli sat up.

Hua Rui outside heard the noise and hurried into the house to light the lamp.

"Huari, what time is it?"

"My dear cousin, it is already three quarters past three in the evening." Hua Rui replied with a smile.

"I actually slept for so long?!"

Jiang Ruoli took the tea handed to her by Hua Rui, pursed her lips and took a sip.

"Are you hungry, cousin? The eldest, second and young masters have returned and are waiting for you in the dining hall to have dinner together."

The eldest uncle and the second uncle are Jiang Ruoli’s eldest uncle and second uncle.

The Xie family is large and Jiang Ruoli has four cousins.

Three of them are already married, and the youngest one is one year older than Jiang Ruoli.

After hearing Hua Rui's words, Jiang Ruoli quickly packed up and went to the dining hall.

The dining room was already full of people.

Seeing that Jiang Ruoli felt a little embarrassed, Xu stood up and pulled Jiang Ruoli over, letting her sit next to her.

Looking at the people sitting there, Xu introduced them to her one by one.

Jiang Ruoli recognized everyone and greeted them one by one.

When introducing her little cousin, Jiang Ruoli looked at the boy.

The young man's face turned slightly red and he avoided Jiang Ruoli's sight.

???

Is she scary?

Jiang Ruoli was puzzled.

After finally recognizing everyone, Jiang Ruoli picked up her chopsticks and prepared to eat.

When I was distracted, I found that the bowl was already full of dishes, like a small mountain.

Jiang Ruoli was speechless and resigned herself to her fate as she started eating.

At the end, Jiang Ruoli couldn't eat any more, so she quietly put down her chopsticks and picked up the teacup on the table.

When he looked up, he found Xiao Yujing looking at him with amusement.

Jiang Ruoli frowned.

What are you laughing laughing!

Hate!
