Chapter 449 - 447: Bringing the Boys
Several other families also wanted to join the Grand Tutor’s Mansion in seeking justice at Duke An’s Mansion, so when the adults from each family arrived, they brought their own children with them.
The young master from the Xing family, with one blackened eye and a split lip, immediately welled up with grievance as he saw his fellow companions in distress, and nearly burst into tears on the spot.
The adults from the various families watched with even greater heartache, their children, coddled and cherished by their elders at home, had been beaten by a few rural lads; Duke An’s Mansion was truly bullying them too much.
Representatives from all families had arrived, mostly the children’s fathers or uncles. As the head of the group, the Xing family only sending Xing Zhonghe was clearly inappropriate.
Old Madam Xing called upon her eldest son, Xing Bin, to make the visit. Xing Bin, the eldest son of Grand Tutor Xing, was currently holding the position of Junior Minister at the Honglu Temple and had some stature in speaking with Duke An.
......
Although Lian Gui had some idea that people would come seeking him, he did not expect such an overwhelming presence.
The parents of five children, leading their own kids, were like the Xing family, not only having an official in charge like Xing Bin on the scene, but also having someone with an unresolved grievance like Xing Zhonghe, who insisted on witnessing how Duke An’s Mansion would punish the troublemakers and vent their spleen.
