The carriage carried none other than Zhu Congjian and his daughter.
Zhu Jiayu lifted the carriage curtain and glanced at the glittering and extravagant Yong'an Street in Yujing City. She couldn't help but vaguely recall the scene when she first came to this place in her previous life.
At that time, the Zhu clan of Suiping was nearly wiped out by a fire, with very few survivors. She brought the survivors to Yujing, hoping to rely on Rong Heng to find a place for her clan to settle down in Yujing. However, she did not expect that it was precisely because of Rong Heng, or rather because of her, that her clan suffered exclusion and suppression everywhere in Yujing, and was eventually forced to move out of Yujing.
She had no relatives or friends in Yujing, and compared to the noble ladies and women she usually interacted with, she seemed so out of place, like a weed that had wandered into a beautiful garden, strange and lowly.
But in this life, even if she is still a weed, she will no longer be despised and insulted as she was in her previous life.
She lowered the carriage curtain and said to Lüzheng, "Go and find out what happened up ahead."
Green Kite nodded, jumped off the carriage, and headed towards the alley across the street.
The winds of Yujing City seem to speak; wherever they blow, they carry the excitement with them. In no time, the news of the Marquis's mansion's commotion spread throughout the city, reaching everyone from high-ranking officials to ordinary peddlers.
Although the latter may not understand the impact of Xu Yanzhong's downfall and dismissal on the Marquis's mansion, it doesn't stop them from watching the spectacle and spreading the news to more people.
Lu Zheng randomly found an old lady selling sesame cakes by the roadside, bought one, and then asked her about the whole story. Back in the carriage, she quickly and vividly recounted the farce that originated from the Marquis's mansion to the master and young lady.
Upon hearing that the Marquis of Kaiping's family had suffered a great misfortune, Zhu Congjian was visibly delighted: "Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish."
Zhu Jiayu chuckled and said, "The weather is unpredictable, and people are subject to misfortune at any time. I wonder if they have ever heard of this proverb."
If the old lady were still alive and knew what had happened today, I wonder if she would regret her actions.
Unfortunately, she has now passed away and will never be able to witness this farce.
Otherwise, Zhu Jiayu would definitely ask her: Everyone yearns for the prosperous scene of flowers in full bloom and oil in a blazing fire, but has anyone ever thought that flowers in full bloom are not long-lasting and that oil in a blazing fire can easily burn you?
After waiting for a long time, the congested carriages on the street finally cleared up, and the driver took them to the address they had agreed on beforehand. Before leaving, he couldn't help but look back at the spacious mansion in front of him and clicked his tongue. He thought these outsiders were just ordinary people, but he didn't expect them to be able to rent such a big house. Now it seems that only he himself is ordinary.
