Qiao Yuyan was a little confused, but she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she and Aunt Liu helped Xu steadily go to the third room.
"Mom, please slow down and be careful with your belly."
Xu didn't seem to hear Qiao Yuyan's words, and still urged in a low voice, "Hurry up, hurry up."
When the family arrived, the old lady was already in Xu's yard.
"Madam is here," Aunt Pei's voice was one step ahead of the others, and she had already squeezed over as she spoke, "Madam is heavy and shouldn't come to a place like this."
"What are you talking about!" Mrs. Xu now understood Mrs. Pei's personality and had no good feelings toward her. She immediately scolded her with a stern face, "This is the second wife of the house. No matter what, I will come."
of!"
Qiao Weisheng immediately followed: "Why don't you get out of the way? Why are you blocking the door and causing trouble?!"
Even after being reprimanded like this, Mrs. Pei didn't show any embarrassment on her face, but was full of apologies, "I said the wrong thing, cousin and madam, don't be angry!"
Then she obediently stepped aside, but when she was waiting for Qiao Yuyan to come in, Aunt Pei suddenly raised her eyes and looked at her, "Big girl."
Qiao Yuyan just glanced at her, but this glance made her heart skip a beat.
She is actually smiling!
No, Aunt Pei always had a smile on her face, but when she looked over just now, that smile had an indescribable weirdness to it.
Intuition told Qiao Yuyan that something might really have happened.
When she got closer, Qiao Yuyan heard suppressed cries.
The people kneeling in a circle at the door were all those who were waiting in Yao's yard. The one crying was Qiao Weipeng. At this time, he was half-kneeling in front of a door panel, holding one hand and crying softly.
.
That hand belonged to Mr. Yao, and in the light as bright as day, the hand was so white that it glowed a bit blue.
Looking along the hand, Qiao Yuyan saw Yao lying on the door panel.
With just one glance, she was so frightened that she immediately looked away because Yao's appearance was too scary.
Aunt Liu on the side finally found a chance to explain to Qiao Yuyan in a low voice, "The second wife was fished out of the well, or the maid who lives there forgot to water the flowers today, for fear of being discovered, so she went to fetch water late at night.
I found the second wife in the well."
Qiao Yuyan heard her own voice and asked, "How...how could this happen?!"
She felt a little ridiculous, Yao was actually dead?
Commit suicide by jumping into a well?
A few days ago, wasn't she still being aggressive in front of him?
Why did you suddenly leave like this?
And why?
If it's for the Yao family, it's been so long. Didn't she survive her illness?
By the way, where's Rong'er?
Qiao Yuyan quickly searched around for Qiao Yurong, and then found Qiao Yurong in a corner of the room, hidden by the shadow of the curtain, who had fallen into a state of stupidity.
Qiao Yuyan hurriedly walked over and found that she was shaking, as if she was shaking.
"Rong'er!" Qiao Yuyan knelt down and held her in her arms, "Rong'er! Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"
Probably because she suddenly had someone to rely on, Qiao Yurong's long-suppressed crying finally broke out, but it started with a scream.
Then I couldn't stop crying no matter what.
"Mom! Why?! Why! Why did she do this?"
The girl asked questions one after another and cried bitterly, as if she wanted to cry out all her internal organs. Everyone in the room started to cry.
Qiao Yuyan couldn't handle such a thing, so the old lady had to shoulder this heavy burden and ordered people to prepare it in the same way.
He also specially sent someone to Jingzhao Mansion to ask for a widower.
This is also a necessary procedure. It is not a natural death. If the deceased is buried without inviting a government official to examine the deceased, it is easy to get involved in a lawsuit.
A family like the Qiao family may not be involved in a lawsuit, but it may become a weapon for others to criticize.
He also arranged for people to go to various places to report the funeral tomorrow, and asked people to go to the warehouse to get mourning clothes.
There is also the matter of Yao's death. Many things in the house have to be replaced, and Yao himself has to tidy up.
We also need to send people to the academy to bring the two little ones back.
Even though what Aunt Pei said was unpleasant, it was not completely unreasonable. So after the old lady paid Xu a little attention for a while, she asked her to go back to Furong Pavilion quickly.
"Sister Yan accompanied Sister Rong to rest in her room. You are the elder sister, take good care of her.
Qiao Yuyan agreed and helped Qiao Yurong out. Who knows, after only two steps, the person in her arms suddenly broke away from her arms with great strength and went to the door panel, "Mother! Mother!
"
"Mom, look at me!"
"Mom, stop making trouble, I'm scared!"
"Mom, I am obedient and I will never make trouble with you again."
"Mom, I listen to you. I will learn whatever you tell me to do. I will never be lazy again."
"Mom, I was wrong, you hit me! You punished me, please get up."
"Mother, mother!"
The screams were heartbreaking, and Qiao Weipeng on the side finally cried out.
Qiao Yuyan cried silently on the sidelines, unable to say a word of comfort.
She had experienced Xu's death in her previous life, and she was also very sad.
But at that time, the mother-daughter relationship between her and Xu was weak. How could it compare to the relationship that Qiao Yurong had when she was growing up in front of her mother?
Even when compared to Mrs. Xu now, she felt pain reaching her internal organs.
In the end, it was Qiao Weipeng who stopped first, pulled her daughter away from Yao, and walked directly to Qiao Yuyan, "Sister Yan, you have always acted prudently. Please take good care of Rong'er."
Qiao Yuyan nodded with tears, and helped Qiao Yurong, who had lost all strength from crying, to go out, "Rong'er, I'm here, I'm here! Don't be afraid!"
Aunt Pei hadn't left yet. She was wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. When she saw them coming, she sniffed and said with red eyes: "The relationship between the eldest girl and the third girl is really good. Now the third girl can only rely on her."
There are only older girls."
Qiao Yuyan frowned, but finally ignored her.
But the uncomfortable feeling in my heart became more and more obvious.
The two people walked to the door, and suddenly a woman hurried over with a little maid, "Old lady, my servant has something important to report!"
At such an important time, coming in such a hurry, both Qiao Yuyan and Qiao Yurong stopped in their tracks.
After all, the old lady was old. She had just cried a lot and was already a little out of energy, but she still asked in a cold voice: "Why do you have to talk about it at this time?!"
The woman's face was a little nervous, and the little girl behind her was even shivering.
"Old lady, the second wife may...may not have committed suicide!"
