Chapter 783: Pair of Happy Events and Visit from the Governor
Zhang Miaoying thought that Xiao Jingyi must know that his father was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, but he didn't say a word to her...
Oh, by the way, Xiao Jingyi said, he said... that I don’t have to go back!
What is he going to do?
Could it be that he wanted to...
Zhang Miaoying felt as cold as if she was naked in the snow.
There were cries of grief and sorrow in the Cifu Mansion.
Unlike the Cifu Mansion, the Anguo Duke Mansion was filled with joy.
When Duke Anguo returned home, he brought with him a large human-shaped pendant of Xiao Jingyu, and followed by Yu Feng, who was holding two bright yellow imperial edicts in his hands.
When everyone knelt down to listen to Yu Feng read out the imperial edict, the whole mansion was suddenly filled with joy.
Old Madam Xue, First Madam Huo Chanyu, Second Madam Zheng Suyao, as well as Nanny Yuan, Luoxue and Piaoyu, all couldn't help but cry with joy.
Miss Yue'er no longer has to suffer from the consequences of her unscrupulous father and bear the reputation of being the "daughter of a traitor"!
She is now Princess Chengxian, personally appointed by the Emperor!
The family no longer has to worry... Does the emperor's decree granting marriage still count?
Does her engagement with His Royal Highness Prince Yu still exist?
They were even more worried that their Yue'er would be slandered and harmed because of her reputation as the "daughter of a traitor."
It's better now...
The emperor decisively removed Leng Xian and his father Leng Pingye from the Marquis of Qinxing Mansion and the Leng family, and directly let Leng Rongyue inherit the Marquis of Qinxing Mansion as the descendant of the first generation Marquis of Qinxing, Leng Yingxian, and gave her the title of Princess Chengxian!
A second imperial edict was issued to clearly grant the marriage.
Not only that, the emperor also rebuilt the original Marquis Qinxing's Mansion and gave it to Leng Rongyue to be the Chengxian Princess's Mansion!
Everyone finally let go of the worries they had been carrying for many days, and at the same time, they were even happier for Leng Rongyue.
At this time, in the Anguo Mansion, except for Anguo Fu Peng and Xiao Jingyu, Fu Yinglan, Fu Yingze, Fu Mingjun and Fu Mingxiu were still working in the yamen and it was not time to leave.
Even though most of the people in the mansion at this time are women, the festive and lively atmosphere in the mansion is not diminished at all!
Madam Xue wiped away the tears of joy from her eyes and called over her two daughters-in-law, the First and Second Madams. "Chanyu, Suyao, quickly spread the word that all the servants in the mansion will receive two extra months' wages as a reward!"
"Yes, mother, your daughter-in-law will give the order right away!"
The first and second wives responded with smiles on their faces.
In a short while, all the servants in the mansion gathered together, and the courtyard outside the main hall was filled with smiling faces and voices of thanks and praise.
"Mom, today is such a good day!
It’s a good day for our Yue’er!
Your Majesty is wise. This time, you have issued two imperial edicts to Yue'er. Not only is good news coming, but good news comes in pairs!"
The always dignified and steady Madam Huo Chanyu was also beaming with joy today.
"That's what sister-in-law said!
Your Majesty, good things come in pairs. This is a good start. From today on, our Yue'er will probably have good things happen to her continuously!"
Second Madam Zheng Suyao also smiled and joined in the fun.
After hearing what her two daughters-in-law said, Mrs. Xue smiled even more happily. She held Leng Rongyue's little hand and patted it gently. She had a smile on her face, but tears in her eyes.
My daughter Baozhen has such a miserable life!
But my granddaughter is lucky... This can be considered a kind of compensation and comfort!
Everyone was feeling happy when they saw the housekeeper Fu Sheng jogging in.
"Reporting to the Duke, Madam, the Shuntian Prefecture Governor Zheng Tong is here to request an audience!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Lord Zheng is here?
Isn’t that case over?
Could it be that Lord Zheng came to congratulate us?
Thinking about it again... everyone also thought of it -
The case has been tried, but there is still something to be done!
Duke Anguo Fu Peng directly ordered Fu Sheng, "Please come in!"
"Yes, Lord Guo!"
Fu Sheng turned and walked out of the hall, then trotted all the way to the gate of the mansion.
There is a happy event in the mansion today, and he, the chief steward of the Duke's Mansion, is almost running like a doorman to deliver messages!
But he was happy!
He had also watched Miss Baozhen grow up in the mansion, but he had also watched... Alas! He had also watched such a kind and gentle Miss Baozhen pass away at such a young age!
Whenever he went out of the house to do business, he would rather take a detour than pass by the gate of Marquis Qinxing's mansion.
First, he felt distressed when he thought of the miserable fate of his own Miss Baozhen;
Another thing is that he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and would rush in to kill Leng Xian and his gang of beasts!
Now, the evildoers have finally received their retribution, and their Miss Baozhen... can finally rest in peace in heaven!
Their little lady finally got her happy ending after all the hard work, and good things kept happening to her. He would be happy even if he broke his old legs!
Wiping away the tears that had unconsciously flowed, Fu Sheng ran to the gate of the mansion, looked at the prefect standing at the steps of the gate, and hurriedly bowed to invite him in.
"Sir, my Lord Duke invites you!"
"Thank you!"
It is said that the prime minister's family members are seventh-rank officials.
This person is the old steward of the Duke's Mansion, and the prefect Zheng Tong also bowed in return.
Leaving his attendants outside the government office, the prefect Zheng Tong only brought Xue Zhubu with him and followed Fu Sheng into the government office.
The servants in the mansion thanked him for the reward and then dispersed to go about their own business.
The Duke of Anguo and his wife, the first lady, the second lady, Leng Rongyue, Xiao Jingyu, and Yu Feng, who came to announce the imperial edict, have now returned to the main hall and sat down.
Old Madam Xue, First Madam Huo Chanyu, Second Madam Zheng Suyao, the three of them, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, have even been to the lobby of Shuntian Prefecture Yamen. What else is there to avoid?
The mansion was filled with joy at the moment, so they simply stayed in the hall, waiting to see what Zheng Tong came for.
