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

If Jiang Ci Jin hadn't mentioned it, Jiang Ruoli would have forgotten about Baixiang Tower.

"Okay, I will definitely go!"

This is her property, and she is counting on making a lot of money from Baixianglou.

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Jiang Ruoli got up early, packed up, and went to Baixiang Tower with Jiang Cijin.

Today's Baixiang Tower has been renamed Yueman Tower, which means "the moon is full and the life is complete."

Jiang Ci Jin changed the extravagant style of Baixiang Tower and renovated Yueman Tower.

The decoration of the hall is more elegant than the previous one. The ten private rooms on the second floor are decorated in ten different styles, ranging from elegant and quiet to luxurious and exquisite.

In this way, it can not only attract wealthy people to consume, but also attract literati and scholars.

Jiang Ruoli looked at the restaurant which had been completely renovated from the inside out, and couldn't help but have a greatly changed impression of Jiang Ci Jin.

She thought that according to Jiang Ci Jin's aesthetic, he would continue with his previous nouveau riche style, but she didn't expect there would be innovation.

"Third brother, you are so awesome!"

Jiang Ci Jin raised his chin proudly.

Of course, his business acumen has never been questioned!

Today is Laba Festival and the streets are very busy.

Jiang Ruoli and Jiang Ci Jin completed the opening ceremony and Yuemanlou officially started business.

Taking advantage of the excuse of reopening, Jiang Ci Jin held a promotion of 20% off dishes in the first three days of opening, and soon the restaurant was packed with diners.

Seeing that Jiang Ci Jin was extremely busy, Jiang Ruoli said goodbye to him and went back.

Jiang Ci Jin was worried about Jiang Ruoli going home alone, and was thinking about sending her home first when he saw Jiang Ci Yan walking in.

"Big brother?"

"Aren't you in the Hanlin Academy? How come you have time to come here?"

Jiang Ruoli was a little surprised. Jiang Ciyan had been very busy recently and stayed in the Hanlin Academy last night instead of going home.

Jiang Ciyan smiled gently, "Things have been almost dealt with. The emperor has allowed me to go home and rest today, as I have been very busy recently."

"I heard from my mother that your restaurant is opening today, so I came to take a look."

Looking at this busy restaurant, Jiang Ci Yan felt very gratified.

He has always believed in his third brother's ability.

"Good job, Third Brother."

It was rare for Jiang Ci Jin to be praised by his elder brother, and he felt a little embarrassed.

"Brother, you came at the right time. You and little sister should go home together. I am worried about her being alone."

Jiang Ci Yan nodded.

The two stayed for a while, and then Jiang Ruoli and Jiang Ciyan took a carriage back home.

On the way back, Jiang Ruoli remembered something.

"Brother, how are the twin brothers and sisters?"

When talking about this, Jiang Ci Yan felt a little depressed.

"The Qiu family was ransacked a few days ago, and the servants fled and scattered. The people I sent lost their tracks."

"Later, I sent someone to inquire about it. It turned out that Qiu Guangquan bought the brother and sister from a human trafficker. They didn't sign a contract to sell themselves, and their identities are unclear."

I think those two people took advantage of the chaos to escape.

But my younger brother is still injured. Where can he run to in such a cold weather?

Jiang Ruoli was also a little worried.

The carriage was moving on the road, and when it was about to reach the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, it suddenly stopped.

"What happened?" Jiang Ci Yan asked.

"Sir, there are two beggars blocking the road." said the servant outside.

Jiang Ci Yan understood that it was so cold and the man might have just stopped the carriage because he couldn't bear it any longer.

"Give them some silver." Jiang Ci Yan ordered.

"Yes."

The servant gave some silver to the two beggars and told the driver to continue on.

"Master Jiang! We don't want any money, please take us in!"

Suddenly, a woman's cry was heard outside the carriage.

Fuguo was curious, so he opened the curtain of the carriage and looked outside.

The female beggar recognized Fu Guo and continued to shout, "Miss Jiang! I was a servant of the Qiu Mansion that day, do you remember?!"

Hearing these words, Jiang Ruoli, who had been looking listless, became energetic.

"parking!"

The carriage stopped again after just two steps.

Jiang Ruoli and Jiang Ciyan got off the carriage.

See two "beggars" kneeling on the ground.

These are not beggars, they are clearly the twin brother and sister from the Qiu family!

However, the two men were now dressed in rags, kneeling in the cold wind and shivering, and they were indeed no different from beggars.

Seeing Jiang Ruoli and Jiang Ci Yan getting off the carriage, Yuan Xin and Yuan Guang knelt down and bowed to them.

"Master Jiang, Miss Jiang, I don't want any money. I just want the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion to take us in and give us a place to stay."

"I kowtow to you here."

After Yuan Xin finished speaking, he pulled Yuan Guang to kowtow.

Jiang Ruoli couldn't bear it.

"Don't kneel anymore, stand up and talk first."

"Thank you, Miss Jiang."

The brother and sister supported each other and stood up.

"What happened to you two and why are you here?" Jiang Ci Yan asked.

Yuan Xin wiped the tears from her face and choked up as she recounted what had happened in the past few days.

On the day when the Qiu Mansion was ransacked, all the servants in the mansion were dismissed. Those who had homes returned home, and those who had no homes found ways to work in other mansions.

Yuan Xin and Yuan Guang were orphans and the lowest-ranking servants in the Qiu Mansion. Before they went to the Qiu Mansion, they were sold here and there and had always depended on their master for a living. After leaving the Qiu Mansion, they had nowhere to go.

The brother and sister had no choice but to go to the beggars' den in the west of the city to beg for food.

But the beggars over there already had their own gangs, and there was no room for the two of them, Yuan Xin was almost bullied by the beggar leader.

Yuan Guang tried his best to save his sister. The injuries he suffered in the Qiu Mansion had not yet healed, and he was beaten severely by the beggars. He was almost half dead and is still running a high fever.

Thinking back to before at the Qiu Mansion, it was Madam Jiang who stopped the Qiu servants from beating Yuan Guang, and it was Miss Jiang who asked her maid to secretly cover Yuan Xin with a brocade quilt.

This was the only warmth and kindness the two siblings felt in their miserable lives.

Thinking of this little bit of warmth, the brother and sister rashly came to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, wanting to beg the mansion to take them in.

Before he reached the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, he saw its carriage from afar and risked his life to stop it.

"Master Jiang, Miss Jiang, everything I said is true." Tears welled up in Yuan Xin's eyes again, and she pulled Yuan Guang to kneel on the ground.

"I beg the Duke of Zhenguo to take us in. My sister and I can do any dirty or hard work. Please give us a way to survive..."

Jiang Ruoli couldn't bear it, so she looked at Jiang Ci Yan, wanting him to make a decision.

Jiang Ci Yan already felt guilty about the birthday banquet at the Qiu family.

Now seeing the two siblings in this situation, the guilt in my heart cannot be expressed in words.

He immediately said, "You two should get up quickly. Don't worry, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion will take you in."

Yuan Xin and Yuan Guang were so excited that they kowtowed heavily to Jiang Ci Yan and Jiang Ruoli.

"Thank you Lord Jiang and Miss Jiang for your kindness. Yuan Xin and Yuan Guang will spend their whole lives to repay the kindness of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion!"

Wait!

Jiang Ruoli suddenly caught something from this sentence.

"What did you say your name was?"

Jiang Ruoli's voice trembled a little.

Although Yuan Xin was confused, he still repeated it.

"My name is Yuanxin, and my brother's name is Yuanguang."

Jiang Ruoli took a step back in shock.

She remembered what she had forgotten!

[Yuan Guang was a famous general who later made great contributions to Dacheng.]

[Because of his handsome appearance, he was called "Jade-faced General" by the enemy. 】

【And Yuan Xin was the queen of the third prince later.】
