Chapter 594: Waiting for the Prisoner Car in Huixian Residence
Leng Rongyue and his two servants walked out of the courtyard gate.
Leng Rongyue looked up at the top of the courtyard gate, where the words "Yuesong" were engraved.
Just as Leng Rongyue was about to step in, she heard a voice behind her calling, "Yue'er!"
Leng Rongyue looked back and saw her eldest aunt Huo Chanyu and second aunt Zheng Suyao walking out from behind the flowers at the bend of the path.
When Leng Rongyue saw them, she hurriedly took a few steps forward and bowed to greet her two aunts.
The eldest lady reached out to help Leng Rongyue up, held her hand, and walked towards Yuesong Courtyard together.
Duke Anguo Fu Peng and Old Madam Xue had already stood up.
I had something on my mind and I didn't sleep well that night.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, he dreamed of his daughter Baozhen, and suddenly woke up...
I didn't close my eyes until dawn.
When Leng Rongyue arrived with her two aunts, Duke Anguo Fu Peng and Old Madam Xue had already finished washing up and were sitting in the house drinking tea.
Leng Rongyue and her two aunts stepped forward to pay their respects...
"The daughter-in-law pays respects to her parents!"
"Granddaughter pays respects to grandpa and grandma!"
"Okay, everyone, sit down!"
Madam Xue said in a gentle voice.
"Yue'er, come here to grandma!"
Old Madam Xue reached out her hand towards Leng Rongyue.
Leng Rongyue walked over and snuggled in Madam Xue's arms.
Old Madam Xue hugged Leng Rongyue and patted her gently without saying anything. The room was filled with silence.
Duke Anguo Fu Peng looked at his granddaughter in his wife's arms. She was wearing a plain dress and had a white flower in her hair...
Yue'er is wearing mourning clothes for her mother!
It is said that men do not cry easily.
In front of his daughter-in-law and granddaughter, Duke Anguo Fu Peng tried hard not to cry, but his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Second Madam Zheng Suyao watched Old Madam Xue hugging Leng Rongyue and crying silently, so she stepped forward to comfort her, "Mother, don't be too sad!
Today is the day to avenge my sister-in-law.
We... can finally avenge my aunt!
We have suppressed the hatred and anger in our hearts for many years, and today, we can finally vent it completely!"
The second wife raised her hand to wipe away her tears and continued, "Dad, Mom, my daughter-in-law has already ordered someone to arrange for Huixianju to close for one day.
Let's go to Huixianju today and watch the prisoner carriage pass by. Then we will leave the city and wait to see those evil people go to hell.
Afterwards, our whole family will go together to pay respect to my aunt."
The eldest lady also came over and said, "Father and mother, over at Qingguo Temple... your daughter-in-law has already sent someone to deliver a letter.
After we pay tribute to my aunt, we will go to Qingguo Temple to worship Buddha for three days."
Duke Anguo Fu Peng and Old Madam Xue looked at each other and nodded at the same time, "Okay, that's it!"
Leng Rongyue took the handkerchief and wiped away the tears for Old Madam Xue, "Grandma, after today, my mother can truly rest in peace.
Grandma, take care of yourself too!
Otherwise, my mother's spirit in heaven won't be at peace!"
"Be good, Yue'er. Grandma knows! Knows! Yue'er, don't worry about grandma. Grandma is fine."
The grandparents and grandchildren snuggled up to each other and comforted each other.
When Duke Anguo Fu Peng and Old Madam Xue brought their two daughters-in-law and Leng Rongyue to the second hall, Fu Yinglan and Fu Yingze, as well as Fu Mingjun and Fu Mingxiu were already waiting in the hall.
Seeing Duke Anguo and his wife come in, several people quickly stood up and greeted their parents first.
The servants in the mansion brought in breakfast and placed it on the table.
Today, the breakfast on the table is light vegetarian.
The family sat around the table and had a reluctant breakfast.
Obviously, no one had any appetite.
After breakfast, Nanny Feng came in to report: "My Lord, Madam, the carriage outside the door is ready!"
Duke Anguo Fu Peng looked at the time and nodded, "Okay, then let's go to Huixianju.
If it's any later, the road might be difficult to travel on."
"Yes!"
Nanny Feng responded quickly and turned around to go out to make the arrangements.
Duke Anguo Fu Peng led his family to the gate of the mansion.
Outside the mansion gate, several carriages were lined up in a row.
Luo Yun and his granddaughter Luo Hongtao had already been waiting by the carriage.
Seeing everyone coming out, the grandparents and grandchildren stepped forward to pay their respects.
Duke Anguo Fu Peng extended his hand and said, "Doctor Luo, we have been together for many days and are no longer strangers. There is no need to be polite. Let's get in the car and go to Huixianju together.
In a moment, the prison van will pass by there.
Then we will go out of town together to watch the execution."
Luo Yun responded.
The people in blue and green came over and led Luo Yun and his grandson to the carriage at the back.
Here, everyone from the Duke of Anguo's Mansion also got on the carriages, and the carriages headed all the way to Huixianju in the city.
Huixianju is the restaurant that came as a dowry to the second wife, Zheng Suyao.
Huixianju Restaurant is located on the side of the main street in central Beijing.
Whether it was the parade of the three top officials or the execution of death row prisoners outside the city, they would all pass through this main street.
Especially when the imperial court held the imperial examinations and the top three officials were paraded through the streets, people would spend a lot of money to snatch bags from the second floor of Huixianju.
The price of the private rooms facing the street is several times higher than usual.
Even today, some people have already booked the box on the second floor facing the street.
The shopkeeper had already received instructions from the second lady, so he politely declined all of them.
The second wife also ordered someone to hang a sign outside Huixianju Restaurant announcing that the restaurant would be closed for one day.
