Qiao Yurong was obviously very dissatisfied with this, but the head of the Qiao family was Qiao Weisheng. Even if he was Qiao Yuyan's father, logically speaking, he still had to listen to him.
So after receiving such an answer, she snorted coldly and walked away angrily.
Even though the matter was not investigated clearly, the funeral still had to be carried out, not to mention that since the Yamen had been alerted, the news of Yao's death could not be concealed.
However, at Qiao Yurong's request, the entire Qingxitai was sealed off. Except for Shi Ye and Qixi she brought with her, the other maids and women were also controlled.
Of course, this seems too deliberate, and the same applies to everything else. It is only slightly better than Qiao Yuyan, but the movement of people underneath is severely restricted.
In the evening, Qiao Weisheng fulfilled his promise, and a special team was set up in the government to investigate Yao's death. However, because Qiao Yuyan was suspected, she was kept under supervision in the ancestral hall and only told the outside world that she was sick.
Things have been added to the wing room next to the ancestral hall. Although it is not as suitable as my own residence, it is not a problem for people to live in it.
Qiao Yuyan had no objection to this and agreed obediently.
"So? Who will investigate?" Qiao Yurong now showed her former indifferent character and shouted at Qiao Weisheng.
After all, the old lady is getting older. Things have happened one after another during this period. Now she is facing the murder of her daughter-in-law, and the murderer is still in her own home. She looks a few years older.
Hearing Qiao Yurong's words, she couldn't hold back her temper, "Do you think that everyone in the family is a bad person now? Or you can't believe anyone now, even I don't believe that I am afraid of you."
Qiao Yurong did not confront the old lady directly, "What my grandmother said was serious. After all, it was related to my mother's life. My granddaughter really didn't dare to be careless.
Grandma still loves my mother very much, and she should also hope to find her murderer, right? Then the candidate for investigation is very important."
Qiao Weisheng said to the old lady: "Mother, although the child is a little impatient, what he said is not wrong."
After hearing what her son said, the old lady stopped talking and sat aside silently, as if waiting for the final result.
"Since it's for my mother, I definitely have to investigate in person, but I don't have enough manpower alone. Secondly, I'm also young, so I might not be able to suppress the scene in some places. Thirdly... I still have to call
People look at it for the sake of fairness.
What if I really find out something later, but someone refuses to recognize it, what can I do?"
After a day of digestion, Qiao Weipeng's mood had improved a lot. He was naturally saddened by the death of his wife, but his daughter's aggressive behavior also made him feel uncomfortable.
They were obviously a good family, but now they have turned into such a tense relationship.
So when he heard Qiao Yurong's words, he immediately darkened his face, "Okay! Your grandmother and your uncle allowed you to be so unreasonable, so you shouldn't just act in vain."
Qiao Yurong shook her head, "Dad, I didn't do it in vain, I did it for everyone's consideration. To be honest, if Qiao Yuyan hadn't done it, I would be the happiest person. I don't want to see such a result more than anyone else. But
I don’t dare to bet, I can only try my best to check, but others may not appreciate my heart.”
Qiao Yuyan stood in the corner and couldn't help but hold her forehead. When will her cousin really grow up? Talking like this is really offending.
Fortunately, Qiao Weisheng had a good temper and was not annoyed when she heard her say that. Instead, he turned around and asked, "Mom, what do you think? In fact, what Girl Rong said makes sense."
"What do I think?!" The old lady sneered, "Now we have announced the funeral to each family, and relatives and friends have started to come to the door today. From tomorrow, there will be many people coming and going.
Now because of this matter, several houses have been locked and people are not allowed to move around. I am still worried about how to deal with the guests coming and going in the future. What do you think?"
At this moment, Mrs. Pei, who had been silent until now, suddenly hesitated and said: "If you can trust me, I can try to help the third girl.
Although I am an aunt, I have been in charge of the family for a few days in the past, and I know the underlying affairs well. Besides, I am the eldest son of the house, so my relationship with the eldest daughter is normal, so the three girls don’t have to worry about me protecting them."
"Well, you're not in your own room. Why are you wandering around now?"
The sound came from outside. Everyone turned their heads and saw Aunt Liu and Huan Cui walking in, supporting Mrs. Xu.
Different from usual days, Mrs. Xu looked at Aunt Pei with a bit of disgust on her face today.
"Why are you here, madam?" Aunt Pei turned a blind eye to Mrs. Xu's reaction and instead greeted her diligently.
The old lady and Qiao Weisheng spoke at the same time as her, "Didn't I tell you to rest in the house? Why do you have to come over again?"
Mrs. Xu ignored him, turned to the old lady and saluted, then looked at Mrs. Pei coldly, "Now that Aunt Pei has the support of Concubine Hui and has become a concubine, she will not let my mistress go."
In your eyes?"
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Pei immediately fell to her knees and said, "What are you talking about, madam? How could I have dared to have such an idea? In my eyes, only my cousin and my wife are the most important. How can I say that I won't
What does your wife think about you?"
Qiao Yuyan found that the way Xu looked at Aunt Pei had completely changed.
She even saw disgust in her mother's eyes.
"I won't tell you. You go back to your Qiyun Pavilion immediately. The things here have nothing to do with you. It's not your turn to judge the Qiao family. My daughter, it's not your turn to investigate."
The eyes of everyone in the room fell on Mrs. Xu. At this moment, she was standing in the hall with a pregnant belly of more than eight months. Her tone was sonorous and forceful, which was very different from her usual temperament.
Not to mention the other people present at this time, even Qiao Weisheng had never seen his wife like this.
The old lady nodded as if she appreciated it.
Aunt Pei over there looked at Mrs. Xu with red eyes softly, "My wife's instructions are that I should stay in my own room. When such a big thing happens at home, I shouldn't come out to make fun.
.
But I still invite my wife Rong Bing. In the villa before, I had a harmonious relationship with Empress Hui Fei. One of the important points is that I like to tell some interesting folk stories, especially things that happened to us.
The empress has always liked to hear me talk about these things, as well as the interesting things about many people’s homes in Beijing. Concubine Hui even called the palace attendants to get a reply every once in a while, just to see if there was anything interesting.
Son.
This time, the second wife has passed away, and the palace may already know about it. Even if I don’t say anything, Concubine Hui will definitely ask about it later.”
