Chapter 927: Condolences

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When the bad news first reached the capital, General Xiao fainted in the imperial court and was sent back to the residence. When he woke up, he immediately brought a group of people out of the city and met the escort team halfway.

At this moment, he was personally holding the memorial tablet with a coffin behind him.

Paper money flew everywhere. The commoners stood on both sides of the street. The originally bustling Chang’an City seemed to have a pause button pressed. No one spoke, but wherever the team passed, the commoners on both sides would kneel down and sob softly.

This scene spread all the way to the entrance of the general’s residence.

In order to accompany Madam Xiao, Xiao Ruoshui had been staying in the general’s residence for the past few days, including Fan Mingyuan.

“Madam, Grandaunt, Young Master, the general has brought Young Master back.” Xiao Tong walked in and choked.

Madam Xiao’s body stiffened. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand and stood up. She said in a trembling voice, “Open the door and welcome Young

Master back to the residence.”

“Mother, let me help you, ” Xiao Ruoshui said with red eyes.

Madam Xiao patted her hand.

The sound of the bell outside gradually approached. The door of the general’s residence slowly opened. Everyone was stunned to see a woman standing at the door.

“Sister Yuwan?” Xiao Ruoshui said in disbelief.

She knew that Yuan Yuwan had fallen sick and was recuperating in the Duke’s residence, but she was too busy to visit her.

Yuan Yuwan nodded and bowed to Madam Xiao. “Auntie, I’m here to pick up the

Young General.’

Madam Xiao’s eyes turned red. She walked forward and helped her up. “Silly child, you don’t have to do this.”

Yuan Yuwan shook her head. “We were husband and wife. Yuwan should come.” With that, she turned around and returned her gaze to the approaching team.

The group stopped in front of the residence. When he saw Yuan Yuwan, General Xiao nodded in relief.

Regarding the divorce, General Xiao and Mrs. Xiao knew that their son had let her down, but they did not blame him.

Apart from feeling gratified that she could come, General Xiao also felt that it was a pity. It was a pity that the Xiao family was not lucky enough. It was a pity that the two of them were not fated enough.

“Rui’er!”

“Big Brother!”

Madam Xiao and Xiao Ruoshui threw themselves in front of the coffin and cried bitterly.

The two of them cried, and it was as if a spell broke. The servants who came out with them could no longer hold it in. They either sobbed or wailed. 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝙢

For a moment, the entire Xiao residence was filled with cries.

General Xiao’s hand was trembling as he held the memorial tablet. He closed his eyes and said hoarsely, “Take the Young Master home.”

The head of the family spoke. The maidservant wiped her tears and went forward to pull Madam Xiao away. Fan Mingyuan also pulled Xiao Ruoshui away.

Looking at the coffin that passed in front of her, Yuan Yuwan felt as if her heart was being gripped tightly by a large palm. Her body swayed, and tears fell uncontrollably.

“Miss.” You Bails heart ached as she supported her.

Yuan Yuwan said, “Go in.”

The mourning hall had long been set up in the residence. As soon as the coffin was put down, Eunuch Li came with an imperial edict. He conferred Xiao Qirui the title of Peacekeeper General.

After handing the imperial edict to General Xiao, Eunuch Li quickly helped him up. Looking at the person who seemed to have instantly aged a lot, he sighed and said, “My condolences.”

“Thank you, Eunuch Li. The residence is doing a funeral, so I won’t ask you to stay for tea.”

“It’s fine.” Eunuch Li waved his hand. “However, Your Majesty specially instructed me to burn incense for the Peacekeeper General.”

General Xiao cupped his hands and said, “Thank you for your concern.”

Knowing that the residence was busy, Eunuch Li did not stay long after offering incense.

Not long after the people from the palace left, Madam Li brought Song Jinghao and Lin Shao over. Right on the heels of that, people from various residences in the capital came to pay their respects..
