Chapter 628: Re-weighing and Re-considering
Looking at the bonfires and carriages at the foot of the mountain...
Thinking about those gorgeously dressed women who were walking around inside and outside the mountain gate and posing coquettishly, Xiao Jingyu frowned in disgust.
With a whip in his hand, Xiao Jingyu spurred his horse forward.
When Suifeng and his companions saw this, they hurriedly urged their horses to follow behind.
Several riders on fast horses rushed towards the capital city, raising a cloud of dust.
All the guest houses in Qingguo Temple were occupied by the wives of officials;
And Xiao Jingyu had also returned to the capital under the cover of night.
When the Anguo Duke's family knew all this, they just shook their heads helplessly.
How can they control the ambition, greed and madness of others?
"Let them be!
You should all go back to your rooms and have a rest early!
For the next two days, we just chanted sutras and worshipped Buddha, and just did our Buddhist work...
Everything else has nothing to do with us.
As for...if there really are officials from the court coming here to lobby...
If an enemy comes, we will fight him with our troops; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth!"
Duke Anguo Fu Peng said calmly.
"Got it, Dad!"
"Got it, Grandfather!"
The eldest master and his wife, the second master and his wife, and the two brothers Fu Mingjun and Fu Mingxiu stood up and responded.
"Okay, it's getting late, you all should go and rest!"
Madam Xue looked at her children and grandchildren in front of her and said calmly.
"Yes! Dad and Mom also went to bed early!"
"Grandpa and grandma should go to bed early too!"
Mr. and Mrs. Fu Yinglan, Mr. and Mrs. Fu Yingze, and brothers Fu Mingjun and Fu Mingxiu bowed to the Duke of Anguo and his wife.
Leng Rongyue, who had been nestling in Madam Xue's arms, quickly stood up and stood aside, also bowing to her uncle and aunt.
Afterwards, only the Duke Anguo and his wife, and Leng Rongyue and her grandchildren were left in the house.
Duke Anguo Fu Peng looked at Leng Rongyue kindly, waved at her and said, "Yue'er, come to Grandpa!"
"Yes, grandpa!"
Leng Rongyue came obediently to the side of Duke Anguo and sat down, then put her arm around Duke Anguo Fu Peng's arm.
Duke Anguo Fu Peng raised his hand and gently patted Leng Rongyue's arm, saying lovingly: "Yue'er, there are some things...Grandpa wanted to tell you before.
It’s just that… the original things haven’t been completed yet, and the new situation hasn’t arisen yet, so it’s not the time to talk about it yet.
As of yesterday, the dust has finally settled and revenge has been achieved.
Next, I'm afraid our family won't be able to feel the joy of revenge for long, because some annoying things will come one after another!"
Duke Anguo Fu Peng looked at Leng Rongyue and said, "In recent days, Yue'er has been sitting in front of us and enjoying the pleasure. She must have been forcing herself to smile, right?
All of this...my grandparents can see.
We all know what Yue'er is thinking.
Ugh!
Grandpa just wants to say one thing to Yue'er -
Be it my grandfather or our Anguo Mansion, they have seen many storms and even life and death matters!
The things we have to face now are not enough to talk about.
Is Yue'er always worried...
Are you worried about being implicated by that cold beast? Are you worried that the reputation of the so-called 'daughter of a guilty minister' will affect the Anguo Mansion? "
When Duke Anguo said this, he looked at Leng Rongyue.
Leng Rongyue blinked, pursed her lips, and nodded slightly.
"Yue'er is not very old, but she has a lot to worry about!
Duke Anguo Fu Peng smiled calmly and said nonchalantly: "That's not necessary!
Yue'er, our Anguo Mansion is already prominent enough as a minister in the court of Jingyue Kingdom, and does not need any other halo to bless us!
No matter if you were the future princess who was engaged to His Royal Highness Prince Yu under the Emperor's marriage decree;
Or is she what is now called the 'guilty minister's daughter'...
To your grandparents, you are just our little granddaughter.
This will never change due to some external reasons.
Yue'er, you don't need to spend all day worrying about how not to bring trouble to the Duke's Mansion."
At this point, Anguogong Fu Peng looked at Leng Rongyue jokingly, "Is Yue'er still thinking that after some time after worshiping Buddha, Yue'er will leave Beijing for a long journey?
Yue'er thought about leaving the capital, so as not to let her reputation as the "daughter of a guilty minister" bring trouble to the Anguo Mansion.
Is that right? "
"How did Grandpa know?"
Leng Rongyue opened her eyes wide and looked at the Duke of Anguo Fu Peng in front of her.
I have never expressed this idea out loud.
Duke Anguo Fu Peng twirled his beard and laughed, "Yue'er, how many years have you lived?
Grandpa, I eat more grains of salt than you eat grains of rice, don’t I?
It's just a little thought of a child.
"Can you, a little sparrow, really hide your thoughts from Grandpa, an old sparrow?"
"Grandpa..."
After hearing what Duke Anguo said, Leng Rongyue shook his arm coquettishly.
"Your grandpa is right!"
Madam Xue also said, "Your little thoughts, can't your grandparents, uncles and aunts see through them?
It's just that I haven't had the right opportunity to tell you in detail.
Now that things have come to this point, the so-called imperial decree granting marriage is actually meaningless;
Should the engagement continue?
Let's say something disrespectful behind closed doors:
Regarding this marriage, not only the Emperor needs to reconsider it, but we also have to reconsider it!
Now Yue'er's marriage not only depends on the opinions of the Emperor, the Empress, and Prince Yu, but Yue'er's feelings are equally important!"
