Third Yiniang couldn't help but change her face because of Qing Wan's words. She felt as if someone had stripped her clothes and thrown them into the crowd. Her face was burning, turning green and white in turns. She stared at Qing Wan in embarrassment and said:
"You, why do you say I'm pretending to cry? You, which eye did you see?"
Qingwan met the other party's gaze without hesitation and said calmly: "Of course I saw it with both eyes. Otherwise, why would the third aunt have been crying for so long, but there was not even a drop of tears on the veil? Could it be that the third aunt had cried for so long?
Auntie doesn’t shed tears when she’s sad on weekdays?”
Because of Qing Wan's words, many people who were crying suddenly stopped crying, for fear of being accused of being staged and pretentious.
Although Third Yiniang felt guilty, she still argued forcefully: "I, I'm just too sad. I'm so sad in my heart that I can't shed tears, can't I?"
Qing Wan looked at the other party coldly, and said with a bit of aggressiveness: "Then why does Third Yiniang think Qing Wan is not sad in her heart?"
"I..." San Yiniang opened her mouth, but after thinking for a long time she couldn't think of a suitable reason, and finally closed her mouth.
After dealing with the third aunt, Qing Wan turned to Qian and said: "I remember that my father clearly said in front of the whole family that my mother had to meditate in the ancestral hall, and she could not come out until Qing Wan got married. Now,
Qing Wan is not married yet, so I wonder why her mother appears here?"
Qian's face turned dark for a moment. He wanted to take advantage of the old lady's death to quietly escape the punishment of the grounding. He thought that once the old lady's funeral was over, if no one mentioned it, the matter would be over. However,
I didn't want to be singled out by this girl. I couldn't help but grit my teeth and glared at Qingwan and said, "I am the mistress of Qingfu. Now that the old lady has passed away, of course I have to come out and preside over the funeral."
Qingwan continued to ask with an expressionless face: "Then what do you mean by mother and father?"
Qian's face froze, and there was an obvious guilty conscience in his eyes, but he persisted and said: "Of course it is your father's intention. If the old lady passes away, and I, the grandmother, are not allowed to come out to preside over the funeral, is it possible that I will have to ask these few of you?
Isn’t it possible that my aunt who can’t take the stage can take care of it?”
Qian's words undoubtedly offended the third aunt, fourth aunt and others who were present. The fourth aunt immediately said with a cold face: "I have been following the master just now, but I didn't hear the master say that someone would ask the madam to come out like this.
It seems that after hearing the news of the old lady’s death, the madam went to the ancestral hall herself.”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qian's expression suddenly changed, and she immediately cast a vicious look at Fourth Yiniang, wishing she could go up and give that bitch two slaps, "I am the mistress of the Qing Mansion, even if the master doesn't tell me, I still have to take care of it.
Regarding the old lady’s posthumous affairs, how can there be any reason for the house to hold a funeral and the mistress not show up?”
Fourth Yiniang smiled and met the other party's gaze and said, "Madam, don't be upset, I'm just telling the truth."
"You...you bitch. Who gave you the courage to contradict your mistress?" Qian was so angry that she stretched out her hand to tie her up.
"Okay, stop arguing." But Qingwan interrupted in a cold voice: "Grandma just left, and you are making a noise in front of her. Do you want her to leave in peace?"
After a pause, he continued: "Qingwan doesn't care who will handle my grandmother's funeral, but if someone makes trouble during my grandmother's funeral, Qingwan will definitely not let it go."
"Grandma loves Qing Wan very much. Qing Wan is grateful for her love, so she voluntarily observes mourning for her for three years. She doesn't say anything about marriage for three years. I wonder if my mother and aunts are still satisfied with this?"
