Qi Yoyo, dressed in plain white, knelt in the coffin. She had been anxiously waiting for news about Wan Qiuqing all morning. When she saw Wan Qiuqing staring at a pair of red and swollen eyes, coming to the coffin with tears streaming down her face, she
Her heart suddenly twitched, because Wan Qiuqing's sad and miserable expression and unstoppable tears told her that her second brother was probably dying.
When Wan Qiuqing walked into the funeral shed, his body suddenly swayed and fell to the ground.
"Mother!" the eldest son Qi exclaimed, and rushed forward to help Wan Qiuqing in time. Compared with Qi Changkong's arrogance and unruliness, Qi, who was three years older, seemed much more mature and steady.
Because Qi Wuwei was seriously ill and bedridden, he took care of all the household affairs, including guests paying condolences to family members and answering gifts, etc. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner, making it difficult for people to find fault, but still giving him the air of the eldest son.
"Feng'er" Wan Qiuqing collapsed on the ground, took Qi into his arms, and sobbed bitterly: "Your second brother died so miserably! Wuwu"
"Mother" Qi Changkong also choked with sobs and tears fell from the corners of his eyes, but he gritted his teeth and did not cry out. He patted Wan Qiuqing's back and comforted: "Mother, please be sorry and take care of yourself! Father's
Your body is already broken. Don't let anything happen to you again, otherwise I will definitely avenge my second brother! I will make Big Yagou pay for it with blood!"
"Mother" Qi Yoyo crawled over on her knees, holding Wan Qiuqing and Qi Changkong in her arms and crying. While crying, she sobbed and asked, "Second brother?"
"We have a guest!" The shout of a guest in the yard interrupted Qi Yoyo's question.
Qi hurriedly stood up. A guest came to express his condolences, and he needed to go to the front to pay tribute.
"Your second brother is dying, go and see him for the last time." Wan Qiuqing took the initiative and said before Qi Yoyo could ask further questions.
"Ugh" Although Qi Yoyo was mentally prepared, when the words came out of Wan Qiuqing's mouth, she still felt like she was struck by lightning. She stood up tremblingly and said: "Mom, take me there quickly!"
The two of them just stood up to leave when Qi You came back from the front with an angry but helpless expression. He looked at Qi Yoyo and said with a bitter smile: "It's the three young ladies from the Tang family, the Yu family and the Xue family. I insist on letting you go out to pay tribute."
, Otherwise, just stand in front of the mourning hall and won’t leave, you see.”
The Tang family, the Yu family and the Xue family are the three major families in Yancheng. Not only did Qi Wuwei not want to be recruited and coerced by the three families, but he also supported the new family forces to fight against them. Therefore, the three major families have always been at odds with the city lord's mansion.
The two sides are constantly fighting overtly and covertly, and the younger generations are so aware of it that they naturally regard each other as enemies, so they fight constantly on weekdays. They compare their cultivation, wealth, style, appearance, eating, drinking, and diarrhea. Anyway, it can be compared.
All are compared to each other.
Qi Yoyo's reputation as the Beauty of the South resounds loudly in Yannan and Yanbei, and she really needs to be beautiful and talented. She can rely on her face to make a living, and she can also rely on her strength to speak. Therefore, since she was a child, she has dominated the younger generation of the three major families.
A girl of generation.
At this time, three ladies from the three families came to express their condolences, and asked Qi Yoyo to answer the gift by name, which was obviously with bad intentions. Because according to local funeral customs, family members have to kneel down when answering gifts, but usually they just kneel down, and the guests will
Reach out your hands to help you in time, but if the guest doesn't reach out your hands to help you, then you will have to kneel down for real.
"What's the point of talking to them? They're going to get humiliated." Wan Qiuqing said angrily with eyes wide open. She was well-versed in the world and knew immediately that the young ladies from the three families were full of bad things. She didn't want Qi Yoyo to be humiliated in front of the hall.
.
Qi Wei said: "But for all practical purposes, it is important to be a guest when entering the door. There is no reason to bombard guests in front of the mourning hall."
"Oh, who says there isn't? If I say there is, there is." Wan Qiuqing couldn't help but say.
Qi Yoyo patted Wan Qiuqing's hand to express comfort, wiped the tears on his face, and said: "No matter what their purpose is, I am grateful to them for coming to see my second brother off today, so
What’s wrong with being bullied by them?”
With that said, he walked out from behind the memorial shed and went to the front hall.
Standing in the front hall are three young women with outstanding temperament. They are about the same age as Qi Yoyo. Although their appearance is a little worse than Qi Yoyo's, they are all of good looks. You can tell at a glance that they are young ladies from a wealthy family.
When the three of them saw Qi Yoyo coming out from behind, their faces suddenly showed a joking look. They did come with bad intentions, but they didn't dare to go too far. At least they were all wearing plain clothes.
Qi Yoyo walked up to the three of them with a calm expression and knelt down according to funeral etiquette. The three of them were here to receive Qi Yoyo's bow, so naturally no one would reach out to help them. Qi Yoyo had already been mentally prepared, and he was also mentally prepared.
There was no resentment, as she said, she was grateful that these three people could come to see Qi Changkong off today.
"Thank you Miss Tang San, Miss Yu Er and Miss Xue San for taking the precious time out of their busy schedules to come and see my second brother off before his death. I'm so grateful!" Qi Yoyo knelt on the ground and spoke from the bottom of her heart.
said.
"Qi Yoyo, the most beautiful woman in the South, I didn't expect that you would be here today, right?" The third lady of the Tang family in white leaned down, put her mouth next to Qi Yoyo's ear and sneered, "Kneeling in front of me, Tang Qian'er, isn't it very good?
Feeling aggrieved and angry?"
"Shit, the most beautiful woman in the South is not even a slut." The second young lady of the Yu family in Tsing Yi scolded, "You rely on your beauty to hook up with men every day. There is no woman in Yancheng who is more shameless than you. I
I'm warning you one last time, stay away from my brother Miao, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you."
"Qi Yoyo" Miss Xue Jiasan gritted her teeth and spat out the words from between her teeth. Judging from her expression and her tone, she obviously hated Qi Yoyo so much that she suddenly took a step forward and stepped on Qi Yoyo's hand.
Then he leaned down and whispered into Qi Yoyo's ear: "I have begged you several times, hoping that you can give up your love and transfer Tingyaxuan in Beiercheng to me. I didn't let you suffer any loss in terms of price, and even paid for it."
The price reached twice the price, but you didn't give me any face and refused every time. You were determined not to sell it. Yes, I have nothing to say. But now you actually transferred it to a few people from remote areas.
Wild boy, you haven’t taken any money. Are you deliberately humiliating me? Ah?!”
With the last question, she rubbed her feet fiercely, with such force that the skin on Qi Yoyo's palms suddenly broke and bleeds, and she could even hear the bones of her hands creaking under the load.
Qi Yoyo gritted her silver teeth and didn't say a word.
"Where is the wild boy? He is clearly the wild man raised by our eldest daughter, Qi." The second lady of the Yu family said with a sinister smile.
"But" Miss Xue Jiasan suddenly changed her tone, put on a smile on her face, put her feet back, and said: "Qi yo yo, you were smart and confused for a while. I heard that Yaxuan was in your name and there was nothing I could do about it. But now, how many days have we changed?"
I have a wild boy in my name, so I can take my pick. I won’t be as unkind as you. I’ll give you an hour to get your wild boy out of Tingyaxuan, otherwise you’ll have to wait for them.
Collect the body."
The three of them took turns humiliating and warning Qi Yoyo, and then left with satisfaction.
Qi Yoyo stood up holding her injured right hand with her left hand. Looking at the arrogant backs of the three of them, she couldn't help but smile and shake her head. She really wanted to ask the three of them if their brains were left in their mothers' wombs when they were born. Otherwise, how could they be so stupid?
Why did they choose to cause trouble for her in casual matters? Didn't they ever think that people would die in their own family? Or did they think that she was of high moral character and would not be as unqualified and moral as them, and would humiliate them in casual matters?
?
Qi Yoyo thought about it and realized that this was really the case. She really couldn't do such a thing.
As for Miss Xue Jiasan's threat, she didn't take it seriously at all, because when she separated from Zhang Xiaozu and others, she specifically told Zhao Quan to lead a hundred people to listen to Yaxuan and protect Zhang Xiaozu and the others.
Thinking of Zhang Xiaozu, Qi Yoyo's heart couldn't help but tighten, and she didn't know if he was out of danger.
Wan Qiuqing took Qi Yoyo out of the mourning hall and went to Qi Wuwei's room on the pretext of taking Qi Yoyo to treat his wounds.
Qi Yoyo wanted to call Qi together, but was stopped by Wan Qiuqing's eyes. Qi Yoyo was very sad, thinking that her mother was too cautious, because with her elder brother's maturity and stability, there would be no flaws. Moreover,
He said, if the eldest brother is not allowed to see the second brother for the last time, how sad will the eldest brother be when he finds out about this?
"Is this corpse poison?!" When Qi Yoyo saw Qi Changkong, who was covered in fine red hair in the secret room, his first reaction was not to cry sadly, but to scream. Then he looked at the blind uncle, his face filled with tears.
With an incomprehensible expression, he asked in confusion: "Blind uncle, are you helpless to do anything about this red-haired corpse poison? It can be cured by lightning and fire!"
