âMain wife? What else does the Yang Residence even have left? Even my fatherâs official position might be gone.â Yang Wanning sneered.
âNo matter what, before you leave the Yang family, try not to get into conflict with her.â
âI understand. You should take a rest. Other than Chunxi and me, donât believe anyone elseâs words in this courtyard.â Yang Wanning then turned and walked away.
She saw Yang Chenglin sitting in the room. âCheng Lin, go change into dark clothes and gather at the stable. Weâll go to the Ministry of Justice soon.â âGot it, sister.â Yang Chenglin went to get ready after that.
Yang Wanning changed into a set of blue clothes and went to the stable.
When Yang Chenglin arrived, the siblings entered the carriage and headed straight for the Ministry of Justice.
They went straight to King An after arriving at the Ministry of Justice, but he wasnât there.
Just as the two were about to leave, King An walked in. When he saw the siblings, he paused and asked, âWhy are you two little fellows here? Whatâs the matter?â
âGreetings, King An.â The two of them hurriedly bowed.
âPlease, get up. If you have something to say, just say it.â King An said.
âLater in the afternoon, our grandmother and mother will be beheaded. We came here to ask if you can release our father so he can send them on their last journey.â Yang Wanning requested.
âCome with me.â King An walked out and added, âIâve just asked the Emperor about this.
âThe Emperor allowed him out, but he cannot leave the capital. Iâm afraid your Grandmother and Mother canât be sent back to their hometown for their burial.â
âThank you.â Yang Wanning thanked King An.
King An only smiled when he heard that. He then brought the siblings to the prison cell.
Seeing Yang Shicheng sitting cross-legged facing the wall, King An paused momentarily and said, âYang Shicheng, youâre out of here.â
The warden immediately opened the cell door.
Yang Shicheng was shocked for a moment. He then stood up and walked over to greet King An. âThank you, King An.â
âAlright, enough with the pleasantries. Today, your mother, wife, and the Cui family will be beheaded. Go send them on their journey.â After King An finished speaking, he walked out.
âYes.â Yang Shicheng responded and immediately followed. When he passed Yang Wanning and Yang Chenglin, he glanced at them but ignored them and walked out.
Yang Chenglin, who had been looking forward to meeting his father, suddenly felt disappointed when he saw Yang Shichengâs attitude.
No matter what, they had to come to pick him up, but he didnât even respond to their arrival.
Yang Wanning saw his aggrieved face and rubbed his hair. She pulled on his sleeve and followed the men.
When they arrived outside, they saw that Yang Shicheng was nowhere to be seen, so they entered their carriage.
When they saw Yang Shicheng sitting inside expressionlessly, the two of them came up and called out to him before asking the coachman to hurry back.
After leaving the Ministry of Justice, Yang Wanning turned her head and asked, âFather, are we going back home directly?â
âYes.â Yang Shicheng replied as he lifted the curtain and looked outside. After finding that the streets had been cleared, he knew that the people of the Cui Family would be escorted to the execution ground soon. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhere are Wanyu and Chengsen?â
âI donât know.
âPreviously, Wan Yu wanted to unite everyone at home to kneel before the Imperial Palace and beg the Emperor for mercy.
âHowever, 1 and the other concubines agreed to ask for your opinion before deciding, so they ran away.â
âNonsense.â Yang Shicheng immediately said this with a gloomy face.
The Emperor had even arrested him when he had no evidence of his crimes.
The Emperor was obviously using them as a warning to the others. How could he let go of the two main culprits, Mrs. and Madam Cui?
Pleading for mercy would only ruin the Yang Residence further..
