The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 477 Jiang Ruofan's family is safe and he becomes the prince consort

When Shen Jiarou appeared in the cell, she was followed by Liu Xu and others.

"Eunuch Liu, please announce the decree."

Liu Xu said respectfully, "Yes, Princess."

He came to the cell where the Jiang family was imprisoned, showed the imperial edict, and read it aloud.

"The Emperor, under the order of the Holy Heaven, has issued an edict that Jiang Shengping should be punished for multiple crimes. If the crime is serious, the whole family should be executed, and if the crime is minor, the family should be exiled. Because Princess Yongkang interceded for him, six gold medals of immunity from death were used to exchange for the death penalty for the six sons of the Jiang family, thus sparing him from death. The Jiang family has committed crimes, and their property, house deeds and land deeds have been confiscated. Jiang Shengping and Jiang Ruofan will be stripped of their official positions and demoted to commoners. This is the Emperor's decree."

The Jiang family members were extremely excited when they heard the contents of the imperial edict. They could finally survive.

Jiang Ruofan felt even more grateful to Shen Jiarou. He didn't expect that Princess Yongkang would actually persuade the emperor to forgive them.

Liu Xu looked at the Jiang family and said, "Accept the order."

Jiang Shengping said respectfully, "I accept your order."

Liu Xu took another imperial edict. The Jiang family was stunned. Why was there another imperial edict?

"The Emperor, in accordance with the will of Heaven, proclaims that Princess Yongkang is gentle, dignified, considerate, charming and bright; Jiang Ruofan is handsome, well-proportioned, talented and kind. They are a perfect match, so the Emperor grants her marriage to Princess Yongkang as his consort and grants her a consort's mansion. The marriage will be completed today. I decree this."

Liu Xu looked at Jiang Ruofan, and marveled at the Jiang family's immense wealth. At the moment of death, the family was able to turn around and become royal relatives.

"My Lord, please accept the order."

Jiang Ruofan received the order respectfully: "I accept the order and thank you for your grace."

"I congratulate the princess and her husband."

"Thank you, Eunuch Liu, Sister Qingling, for the reward."

Ruan Qingling bowed slightly: "Yes, Princess."

She took out her purse and handed a silver ingot of one tael directly to Eunuch Liu.

"Eunuch Liu, thank you for taking the trouble to come here. This is a little gift from my princess. Please keep it."

Liu Xu hurriedly thanked them: "I thank the princess and her husband for their gifts. I wish you a long and happy marriage."

Shen Jiarou smiled gently: "I'll lend you my good wishes."

"Princess, I'll take my leave now."

Shen Jiarou nodded politely, and everyone watched Liu Xu and others bow and leave.

Shen Jiarou retracted her gaze and looked at the Jiang family and said, "Father, I can find a place for you to live. You can live in the Prince Consort's Mansion."

Jiang Shengping and others were stunned when they heard this, and Jiang Shengping reacted and quickly thanked them.

"I thank the princess for her great kindness. I will never forget it."

"It's just a small favor for this princess, but my father has said before that during the festivals, the Japanese princess can give you some subsidies and rewards. I am not allowed to give you subsidies on weekdays. I am sorry for this."

Jiang Shengping said quickly: "Princess, you are too polite. You have saved our Jiang family's lives many times. I dare not have any delusions. I will behave myself and not cause trouble for you."

Ruan Qingling and the others were slightly satisfied after hearing this. To be honest, they really felt very sorry for their princess' marriage. How could such a good princess have to choose a poor young man?

Even though the poor young man was handsome and talented, he was still not worthy of the princesses who were of noble status and friendly and amiable character.

The women of the Jiang family were shocked to learn that the men of the Jiang family would not have to be beheaded and the women would not have to be exiled.

"Boss, second brother, what is going on?" The old lady and others were brought here by Shen Jiarou's men.

Shen Jiarou was sitting behind the screen, listening to what the old lady of the Jiang family said. She raised her eyes slightly and listened.

"Mother, Ruofan is now the consort of Princess Yongkang. Our family was saved by Princess Yongkang. Our sons don't have to be beheaded. Princess Yongkang used six golden medals of immunity from death in exchange for our lives." Jiang Shengping said it in one breath and felt a lot more relieved. Their family was finally reunited.

Jiang Ruoyun said in disbelief: "Father, we don't have to separate as a family."

Jiang Shengping raised his hand and touched his daughter's head: "Yes, the princess said that we will live in the Prince Consort's Mansion in the future."

Seeing the smile on his sister's face, Jiang Ruofan felt that everything was worth it. Thinking of something, he raised his eyes to look at the cell next door, only to see that the screen was the same as usual.

Princess Yongkang, thank you for reuniting our family.

While the Jiang family was washing, changing clothes and dressing, Shen Jiarou was lying on the bed until Ruan Qingling came in to wake her up and report.

"Princess, wake up."

"All right?"

"Yes."

Shen Jiarou sat up with her eyes closed. She felt more and more sleepy.

"Then let's go and take a look at the Prince Consort's residence." Originally, she was going to let them live in the princess's residence first, but her father said that they could not live in her residences. She had no choice. She couldn't openly go against her father, as that would damage his face and prestige.

Jiang Ruoyun saw a girl in a hibiscus purple dress walking out from behind the screen, her eyes full of amazement.

Could she be Princess Yongkang?

Only her father and elder brother have met Princess Yongkang in person.

Shen Jiarou found that someone was staring at her. She looked up and saw that it was a girl with regular features, gentleness and beauty.

"Which lady of the Jiang family are you?"

Zhen Luosang frowned: "Princess, she is so rude. She stared at you for a long time."

She had wanted to say it a long time ago.

When Jiang Ruoyun heard the word "princess", she was frightened and quickly knelt down to apologize.

"Princess, please forgive me. I didn't mean to do that. I was just stunned by your good temperament and lost my mind for a moment. I didn't mean to offend you."

Shen Jiarou looked at Ruan Qingling beside her and ordered: "Help her up."

"Yes, Princess." As she walked over, Jiang Ruofan walked out of the cell.

"Princess, my sister faced you directly. It was her fault. Please forgive me."

Ruan Qingling leaned over and helped Jiang Ruoyun up: "Miss Jiang, please stand up."

"Thank you." Princess Yongkang didn't seem to have any airs and seemed like someone who was easy to get along with.

Shen Jiarou smiled faintly: "This princess is not angry, but you all need to be more careful about your family's words and actions in the future."

She saw the Jiang family members coming over behind her: "Are you all packed? Then let's go."

After everyone paid their respects, they followed one by one. Jiang Shengping and Mr. Jiang Erye supported Old Madam Jiang, while Jiang Ruofan and Jiang Ruoyun supported Mother Jiang.

Walking out of the Ministry of Justice prison, Shen Jiarou looked up at the blue sky and white clouds.

"It's sunny and the weather is nice, which is a good sign."

The Jiang family was very relieved to hear this. They felt that Princess Yongkang was really a good person.

Shen Jiarou walked towards her carriage, and Lord Jiang, the Minister of Justice, hurried over.

"Princess, please wait a moment."

Hearing the voice, Shen Jiarou and others turned around suspiciously.

"Master Jiang Jie, is there anything I can do for you?"

The Minister of Justice, Lord Jiang, who was running out of breath, gasped and said, "Your Highness pays respect to the princess."

"No need to be polite. Just say whatever you want to say. This princess still has things to do."

"Will the princess really let our Jiang family go?" He still found it hard to believe. He had to hear it with his own eyes to believe it.

"How about this, I ask my father to take back his order?"

The Minister of Justice, Lord Jiang, was shocked. "No, no, no. Princess, that's not what I meant. You misunderstood. Don't worry. I will send someone back to send my son to the Princess's residence. You can punish him as you like. As long as he is alive and can continue the Jiang family's lineage, that's enough."

"You have to figure it out yourself."

Seeing her indifferent expression, Lord Jiang, the Minister of Justice, nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes. I won't keep you any longer. Please go in."

Shen Jiarou nodded politely to him, turned around and got into the carriage. Thinking of something, she turned and looked at Jiang Ruofan.

"Please accompany this princess in a carriage, Prince Consort."

Jiang Ruofan bowed respectfully: "Yes, Princess."
