I have traveled through time, who am I afraid of?

Chapter 450: I haven't seen you for a few days, so I'm curious

The servant Zhongshun and the coachman Xiao Luozi sat side by side on the shaft of the cart.

Thinking back to the days when I served the Marquis on his way to court, listening to the wheels rolling and the horses clattering, I felt particularly happy...

That is the embodiment of official authority, that is the symbol of nobility...

Even I, as a servant, felt proud and honored to follow him!

But now... now...

Zhongshun glanced back at the carriage behind him;

Think about the unlucky person sitting in the carriage...

I couldn't help but sigh secretly in my heart...

Going to court today... uh... it would be better to stay at home!

From the time the mansion was robbed until today, everything that happened in the mansion of Marquis Qinxing flashed before his eyes...

Thinking about what happened today, Zhongshun felt even more speechless.

Zhongshun also understood in his heart that the masters in this mansion had now become such unlucky people...

Most likely it's because he has done too many immoral and sinful things...

They...all got their comeuppance!

Not only did they kill the late Madam, and seized her huge dowry to enjoy, they also wantonly bullied the eldest daughter, who was the only bloodline of the late Madam!

Now, the mansion of Marquis Qinxing has been robbed and not a penny is left. Who can say that this is not retribution from God?

What is stolen or robbed will never become yours!

The more you enjoy, the more sin you commit!

The lord, lady, old lady, young lady and young master of the dignified mansion all ended up in a tragic end;

And what about the Marquis?

Not only is the store debtor not counted, the Emperor still owes him thirty canings!

These days, the Marquis has been staying in his house all day, drinking porridge and eating pickles, and dares not go out to see people;

Of course, during this period, no one took the initiative to visit me...

Whether it was because the Emperor and the Duke of Anguo’s Mansion disliked the Duke of Qinxing’s Mansion;

Or is it because my master has bad character and bad popularity?

Anyway... no one is willing to pay attention to the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion now!

No one wants to pay attention to the current Marquis Qinxing!

Ugh!

The Marquis had been hiding for so many days, and all he had received was the Emperor's oral order that he must go to court today.

As for whether going to court today will be auspicious or inauspicious...

Is the emperor too lazy to keep accounts and plans to cash out the thirty lashes directly...

This... is still unknown.

Thinking of the Marquis going to court not long ago, Zhongshun smiled bitterly...

Ugh!

Now, my Lord, don't even mention wearing your official uniform and hat;

A dignified marquis, he doesn't even have a decent robe to wear!

Think about it again. Over the past few days, the masters in the mansion have started to hurt their legs, get beaten, have nightmares, or become incontinent...

Could it be that God thinks the retribution he has given us is not enough, and he is deliberately playing tricks on these evildoers?

As he was thinking, Zhongshun looked up...

Through the morning light, the golden glazed tile roof of the majestic imperial palace can be seen in the distance.

Coming.

Zhongshun turned back and reported to the carriage: "My Lord, we are not far from the palace, we will arrive soon!"

Leng Xian in the carriage did not respond.

Zhongshun hadn’t planned to hear any response;

Anyway, I have already reported it, and when we arrive at the place, I will ask the Marquis to get off the carriage.

As we got closer to the palace, we saw more and more carriages and sedan chairs.

At this hour, the carriages and sedan chairs that could be seen near the imperial palace were almost all occupied by officials who were rushing to attend the morning court.

In the past, when the carriages and sedan chairs of court officials met, officials of lower ranks would take the opportunity to show their courtesy to officials of higher ranks;

Or is it just to create a harmonious atmosphere and pretend to be nice to each other?

In short, when court officials met, they still had to greet each other and say hello.

Then, they bowed to each other, greeted each other, and went into the palace and the court room together.

Today, no matter whether the court officials were riding in carriages or sedan chairs, the servants following the carriages and sedan chairs almost all hurried to report to their masters after seeing the carriage of the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion.

Without exception, no one, whether riding in a carriage or a sedan chair, took the initiative to open the door or lift the curtains.

Today, Leng Xian didn't have the nerve to approach and chat with his colleagues who were riding in cars or sedan chairs to the palace.

Outside Donghua Gate.

The servants and attendants were all busy putting down footrests and opening the curtains of the sedan chair.

They were all busy waiting for their masters to get off the carriage and sedan chair.

The carriage that Leng Xian was riding in also stopped outside Donghua Gate at this time.

Zhongshun jumped off the carriage, put the footstool away, and bowed to the carriage, saying, "My Lord, we have arrived at Donghua Gate. Please get off the carriage!"

There was no movement in the carriage for a long time.

Leng Xian hid in the carriage and really didn't want to show up.

He knew that his presence would be a joke!

Showing up is just making a fool of yourself!

But... he couldn't disobey the order;

It is even more impossible for him to just stay in the carriage without showing up.

Leng Xian was reluctant to get off the carriage as he was afraid of making a fool of himself.

But no matter Leng Xian is willing or not, the carriage of Marquis Qinxing's Mansion is the focus of everyone outside Donghua Gate today!

The court officials who had gotten off the sedan chairs and cars outside Donghua Gate saw the carriage of Marquis Qinxing's mansion and knew that it was Marquis Qinxing Leng Xian, who had not been seen for many days, coming to attend the morning court.

Didn't they say he was too sick to get out of bed?

Is this illness healed?

Gossip is never divided into different classes or levels, it is just divided into more subtle or more obvious ones.

Well-informed officials and those who were not so well-informed had already gathered together and whispered spontaneously...
