Chapter 45 Mother's Funeral

Qiaoyu was awakened by the cold. It's already April, but it's suddenly cold. She slept very peacefully. The moment Qiaoyu opened her eyes, she didn't know where she was sleeping. She stared at the top of the bed and thought about it before she remembered sleeping with her mother last night. Reaching out to touch his mother's hand, tears gushed out in an instant. My mother's hands are cold and stiff. Qiao Yu lay with her mother and cried bitterly.

After Qiao Yu cried bitterly, she got up and got out of bed, put on her shoes, and went out of the room. She woke up the snow bamboo and lily who were still sleeping in the outside room, which explained everything. Xue Zhu ran into the house crying bitterly. Qiaoyu grabbed the lily and asked her to go back to her room to find the already prepared shroud and take it to her mother's room together. Xue Zhu stopped crying and knelt by the bed and was stunned. Qiaoyu and Lily put down their shroud, picked up the snow bamboo together, and sat on the chair next to them.

Qiaoyu advised, "Aunt Xuezhu, my mother has left. You should also be sorry for the change. Now it is urgent to wipe and dress for my mother. Xue Zhu listened to Qiao Yu's words and nodded with tears. Go out with Lily to prepare hot water.

Qiaoyu walked to the bed, looked at her mother's pale face, and whispered with sadness, "Mother, Yuer helped you wipe and change your clothes." Qiaoyu took the hot towel and wiped it carefully for her mother. According to the season, I wore eight clothes. I also carefully helped my mother make up and comb her hair.

Everything was ready, and then Lily helped him change into a filial dress. Go to my uncle's yard to report the funeral.

It was already past the time when Master Huici came. The Yan family set up a mourning hall, and white mantle cloth was changed everywhere. Qiaoyu personally went to the door to welcome the master into the door.

For the next three days, Qiaoyu has been busy welcoming the delivery. Only in the middle of the night can you recite sutras for your mother with your master.

The fourth day is the big day of the funeral. Qiaoyu has not closed her eyes for three days in a row. People are obviously emaciated, and the area around the eyes is also red and swollen. Qiaoyu held the coffin with a blank face and walked in the middle of the team with the master. As soon as they left the main door of the Yan family, the team was stopped. Zhiyuan hurried to the front.

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement. Accompanied by Haoxuan, Qiaoyu quickly walked to the front. Both sides of the house gate were full of lively people. Suddenly, two plain nobles came out of the door of the house. People consciously gave way to a wide road. Haoxuan walked quickly to protect Qiaoyu. He saw Zhiyuan kneeling in the middle of the road. There were three people in front of him. The old man standing in the middle was scolding him. The middle-aged woman next to him and a young master dressed up laughed and watched.

Qiaoyu looked at this scene and guessed that it was from Nanjing. Before Haoxuan could react, he stepped forward and saluted solemnly. He said calmly and coldly, "Qiaoyu is polite!" Please read that the deceased has passed away and make way so that she can reach the bliss early! Qiaoyu, thank you all!" After saying that, without waiting for the other party to speak, he stepped forward and picked up his uncle.

"Which one are you from? How dare you be presumptuous here?" Li's arrogant shouting wanted to embarrass Qiao Yu.

After listening to Li's words, Qiaoyu took a step forward with a smile and answered with a small voice that can only be heard by three people on the opposite side, "Which Qiaoyu is not the most important. As long as you know that the money allocated to Nanjing Mansion every month is from me!"

What a smart person Yan Shengrui is, and he naturally smells the threat. He looked at the girl in front of him. Although there was obvious fatigue on his face, he did not hide her beauty at all. Looking at her filial piety, I guess it should be Hui Niang's daughter. I have heard about her for a long time. At a young age, she managed the huge Yan government in an orderly manner. Today, she is indeed a figure. He subconsciously put away his angry face and looked at Qiaoyu with a smile.

Although more than ten years have passed, Zhiqin has not made much progress. At first, I looked at the little girl in front of me. After listening to her, I stared and shouted, "You are an illegitimate girl, how dare you be arrogant here!" You dare to cut off our money!" The crowd watching the lively people around immediately boiled up and whispered one after another.

Qiaoyu's anger rushed to her forehead, regardless of courtesy, and slapped Zhiqin with a "bang". When Zhiqin was about to attack, several bodyguards in Yan's house had surrounded him, and Haoxuan stepped forward to protect Qiaoyu. Qiaoyu stood behind Haoxuan and said loudly, "As Miss Yan, how can you slander like this!" Whether Qiaoyu is an illegitimate daughter or not, it will be clear after asking my grandfather. After saying that, he turned his head and stared straight at Yan Shengrui.

Yan Shengrui didn't expect that Zhiqin would not be on the table like this. He didn't dare to look directly at Qiaoyu, but said angrily to Zhiqin, "In those years, Qiaoyu's mother was being married by the Ming media. How can Qiaoyu be an illegitimate daughter? Don't listen to the nonsense rumors and talk nonsense here!" Zhiqin still had to refute, but was stopped by Li. Yan Shengrui continued, "As soon as we got the letter, we came from Nanjing. Fortunately, I didn't miss Hui Niang's funeral!"

Qiao Yu said coldly, "My grandfather is bothered! Please make way for me to make my mother happy early!" After saying that, he saluted respectfully, and then turned around and walked away.

The drums sounded in unison, and the three people gave way to one side, and the team slowly moved. A servant ran over and led the three of them to the team, following Zhiyuan. The three of them marched slowly with the team silently.

Qiaoyu returned to her mother's coffin, held the coffin with one hand, and began to wipe tears with the other. He said secretly, "Mother, don't worry about Yuer! No matter how big the storm is, Yuer can break through it.
