1279. Chapter 1279 9
When such a tragedy happened at the emperor's feet, he immediately reprimanded Lu Mingdao and finally fined him half a year's salary.
The fact that the salary was imposed was not a severe punishment, but for people like Lu Mingdao, the matter had aroused constant speculation.
Lu Mingdao was the Queen's biological father and a veteran of two dynasties. When his uncle ascended the throne, he was also a minister who had made meritorious deeds.
No matter what happened over the years, my uncle never spoke harshly about it in front of everyone.
But now in the morning court, in front of all the officials, big and small, not only did he reprimand him, but he was also punished for an unprecedented half-year.
The Lu family and Queen Lu's status in our dynasty will be revered in the future, which is fascinating.
I leaned on the soft floor in the Nuan Pavilion and listened to Ling Xiu explain the matter in detail.
I couldn't help but feel that it was a bit satisfying.
My uncle has been holding back for many years, but now he wants to peel off the thin layer of paper in the middle.
After I heard about this, I asked Ling Xiudao, "Where is Fu Sheng now?"
"Steward Fu went to the Sun Mansion early this morning. Mr. Sun lost his wife and daughter. He was so sad that he fainted at one point. There was no one to take care of the funeral affairs of Mrs. Sun and Miss Sun. So Steward Fu went to the Sun Mansion..."
I nodded after hearing this, waved my hand slightly and sent Ling Xiu away.
Sun Mingyang has been an official for decades and has had many ups and downs. Because he is too upright, he doesn't have many friends, and he doesn't seem to have many relatives and friends in Kyoto. Sun Mingyang is an honest official, and he has few servants at home. Now, suddenly, the Sun family is facing a disaster
It's a big funeral, so naturally there's no one to arrange the arrangements.
If Fu Sheng is willing to help me take care of it, I can feel a little more at ease.
I am in such bad shape now that I have not left the house for a long time.
But when Mrs. Sun and Sun Yu were attending the funeral on the third day, I asked Fu Sheng to help me get into the carriage and go to the Sun Mansion.
As for Sun Yu and Mrs. Sun, I don't know what else I can do for them.
The world is over, and I just want to give her the last moment with my best intentions.
From a distance, one can hear the mournful sound of the suona in the Sun Mansion.
When I arrived in front of the Sun Mansion, I didn't make any noise and just let Fu Sheng help me out of the carriage.
There are some old mansions with plain white funeral lanterns hanging above the door, and strings of white sails moving with the wind, making a constant "hula" sound.
The front door of Sun Mansion was deserted, with only a few carriages parked not far away.
The door, covered with white cloth, was empty and wide open, with no one in front of it.
I looked at Fusheng next to me, "Today is not the day of the funeral, why is no one coming?"
Fusheng looked at the melancholy scene in front of him and sighed softly, but said nothing.
I was dressed in plain clothes, with long hair hanging down in a bun, and only a jade hairpin tied squarely on the side.
Fu Sheng and Yi Jing were on the left and right, and they supported me step by step up to the doorstep of Sun Mansion.
When I walked in, I heard footsteps coming from the house. I saw a maid dressed in plain clothes coming out to welcome me. When I looked closely, she seemed to be the maid who used to accompany Mrs. Sun.
The maid Xu never expected to meet me in front of the door. She was stunned for a moment, then recovered, turned around and ran back to the house.
I didn't pay much attention to it, and still let Fusheng and Yijing support me and walked slowly towards the house.
But after walking a few steps, he saw Sun Mingyang coming out dressed in all white.
