Chapter 593 The Time Has Come, Today
Three days... two days... one day left...
In the Shuntian Prefecture Prison.
The smell of death is getting stronger and stronger.
The fear of death loomed over several dying evil men.
The evil intentions and evil thoughts of evil people are directed toward others;
Cruelty is also directed towards others;
But when it comes to myself, I am a complete coward when facing death.
Afraid of being cut into pieces, yet afraid to end his life.
They deserve to face a thousand cuts.
This may also be God's arrangement, a punishment imposed by God on them.
Ministry of Justice.
The Minister of Justice Fu Yinglan was sitting behind his desk working.
The personal attendant Qing Yan came in to report: "Sir, the Right Assistant Minister Jiao is here!"
"welcome!"
Following the sound of footsteps, Jiao Yue, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, walked in.
"Your humble servant greets His Excellency the Minister!"
“No need to be polite!
"Master Jiao, please take a seat!"
Fu Yinglan raised his hand and motioned Jiao Yue to sit on a chair nearby.
"Thank you, sir!" Jiao Yue bowed and walked over to sit down.
Jiao Yue first reported some of the daily affairs of the Ministry of Justice to Fu Yinglan;
Finally, Jiao Yue looked at Fu Yinglan and said, "Sir, tomorrow... is the execution date for the criminals in Shuntian Prefecture.
Tomorrow, I will represent the Ministry of Justice and go to supervise the execution together with Mr. Zheng, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture."
Fu Yinglan listened, and nodded, "Master Jiao, you have worked hard!"
Fu Yinglan just said "thank you for your hard work" and didn't say another word.
Jiao Yue understood that Mr. Fu, as a party to this case, was actively avoiding the case.
I just reported it back.
Jiao Yue didn't say anything else. He bowed, turned around and walked out.
Watching Jiao Yue's figure disappear at the door, Fu Yinglan slowly leaned back on the chair.
After a long while, Fu Yinglan said loudly: "Qingmo, tell them to prepare the car and go back to the mansion!"
"Yes!"
A sound of footsteps faded away.
Fu Yinglan raised his hand to tidy up the files on the table, then stood up, straightened his official robe, and walked slowly out.
During these three days, Leng Rongyue and the Anguo family lived a very peaceful life.
Leng Rongyue, Old Madam Xue, First Madam Huo Chanyu, and Second Madam Zheng Suyao stayed in the mansion every day, drinking tea and chatting...
In daily conversations, I intentionally avoid mentioning that day or those people.
After leaving court every day, Duke Anguo Fu Peng still went to the cabinet to work;
The same went for Fu Yinglan and Fu Yingze. After the court session, they went to the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War to take up their duties respectively.
But after leaving their posts, they would not stay outside for long and would go straight back home.
The same thing happened to the brothers Fu Mingjun and Fu Mingxiu. They returned home as soon as they were fired.
For three consecutive days, after the morning court session, Xiao Jingyu either went to the harem to visit Queen Luan Xiying or went directly back to his Prince Yu Mansion. He did not report to the Duke Anguo Mansion again.
After the Anguo family had dinner together, they all gathered in the second hall to drink tea and chat about family matters. No one mentioned what was about to happen.
Whether it is the death row prisoners in Shuntian Prefecture who are trembling with fear and anxiety every day,
Or the Anguo family suppressed their anger and appeared calm on the surface...
Three days...passed quickly.
This morning, the sky seemed to get brighter later than usual.
Leng Rongyue looked at the time and got up from the bed.
Walk to the window and push it open...
It turned out that it wasn’t that the sky got bright late, but that it was cloudy today;
The sky was grey and the sun was nowhere to be seen.
Nanny Yuan, who was sleeping next door, heard the noise in the bedroom and pushed open the door and came in with Luoxue and Piaoyu.
Several people helped Leng Rongyue wash and change clothes...
Leng Rongyue was wearing a plain white dress with wide sleeves embroidered with light grey twined flower patterns on the collar and cuffs.
Her hair was combed into a bun with a white lotus flower pinned in it.
She only wore a pair of small pearl earrings.
There was no other bright color on her body except for her cherry lips.
Soon, the dressing was completed.
Nanny Yuan came in front of Leng Rongyue and knelt down on her knees.
Leng Rongyue was surprised when she saw this, and hurried forward to pull Nanny Yuan up.
But Nanny Yuan refused and continued kneeling stubbornly.
"Miss, I have something to ask you!"
Leng Rongyue pulled Nanny Yuan up and said, "Nanny, if you have something to say, just say it. Why do you have to do this?"
Tears welled up in Nanny Yuan's eyes, "I beg you to go out today, young lady... and take me with you.
I, your servant...will go to see the final fate of my enemy on behalf of my eldest lady.
Leng Rongyue knew that the eldest lady that Nanny Yuan was talking about at this time was Fu Baozhen.
Nanny Yuan came to Fu Baozhen when she was six years old and grew up with her.
When Fu Baozhen married into the Marquis Qinxing's mansion, Nanny Yuan also followed her and served her personally.
Now that Fu Baozhen is gone, Nanny Yuan wholeheartedly protects Leng Rongyue on Fu Baozhen's behalf.
The hatred that Nanny Yuan harbored towards Leng Xian, Yin, old Yin, Leng Yixing, Leng Yiyang, and those beasts in old Yin's family was no less than that of Leng Rongyue.
Leng Rongyue nodded, "Even if Mammy doesn't tell me, I will take Mammy with me today.
Mammy, Luoxue and Piaoyu have been by my side for so many years and have endured so much humiliation;
How much grievances have you endured?
How much suffering I have endured...
I know it all in my heart.
Today, we will go and see it with our own eyes, and vent our anger together!"
"Yes, miss!"
Luoxue and Piaoyu stood behind Nanny Yuan and bowed deeply to Leng Rongyue together.
"Okay, let's go pay our respects to grandpa and grandma!"
Leng Rongyue took Nanny Yuan, Luoxue and Piaoyu out of the yard and walked towards her grandparents' residence.
