Chapter 23: The Funeral
Xu Yao looked at her uneasy expression, and her heart was secretly refreshed, you also have times when you are afraid.
"It's... It's the eldest sister! The eldest sister pushed it, she also said... also said..."Xu Yao's crying pear blossoms brought rain, and she was very scared when she looked at Xu Tingcheng.
"Father! Allure didn't... Allure really doesn't! ”
She was indeed wronged this time, but who told her to do too many bad things in the past, so many that the unjust souls she killed have stayed in this time and space, causing more and more innocent people to pass away.
This matter is a big matter, and the system was ordered to solve it as soon as possible, but there was no way, Xu Yao happened to be selected and became the lucky one.
"Is there any evidence? You can't talk nonsense if you don't have it! It's no small thing! ”
Xu Tao warned Xu Yao with a serious face, and he didn't know that Xu Yao was not his biological daughter, it was really terrifying.
"My daughter doesn't dare, there is evidence, bring the witness Xiaoju!" Xu Yao shouted outside the door, and a guard opened the door, holding Xu Qingcheng's personal maid Xiaoju in her hand, which had become haggard.
"Say!"
Xu Yao yelled at her, and she was much more sober in a daze, but her physical fatigue was still there.
"It was the eldest lady who forced me, I didn't mean to! I didn't mean to! Miss, please let me go... Woo..."
Xiao Ju kept kowtowing to the air, and her mouth was still vague, as if she had gone crazy.
"Bold Dog Minions! How dare you frame me! Die, die! ”
Xu Tingcheng suddenly acted like a madman, scolding and kicking Xiao Ju, he was already dying, and his face was even paler after being kicked and beaten so violently.
"Pull away! What else to see! ”
Xu Tao looked at Xu Tingcheng, who was kicking his subordinates mercilessly with red eyes, and couldn't believe that this was his eldest daughter. I couldn't bear to see Xiao Ju being kicked to death, so I still asked the guards to pull Xu Chengcheng away.
Even though it had been stopped, it still bit like a mad dog, and the guard's hand was bitten with holes and wailing.
Xu Tao looked at everything in front of him, couldn't accept it for a while, and fainted.
"Father, Father! Come on, go to the palace and ask for a doctor! ”
Unexpectedly, when he was in a critical situation, the one who cared about him the most was his little daughter who he had always disliked and hated; And his favorite eldest daughter is as vicious as a scorpion.
……
As soon as I opened my eyes, I was already in the room, looking out the window at the sky that was already dark, and looking at Xu Yao, who was tired and asleep next to me in order to take care of herself, I felt very indebted.
Stroking her hair, his daughter has always been very sensible and well-behaved, and never causes trouble for him, but he has never really paid attention to her, and he is really not a competent father.
When Xu Tao felt indebted to her in his heart, Xu Yao's eyes rolled, that's right! She just pretended to do it on purpose.
"Ah~um~" Xu Yao pretended to yawn, then slowly opened her eyes, and then closed her eyes because of the dazzling sunlight.
"Yao'er is awake? Fast... Let's go back to our room and rest! Xu Tao looked at Xu Yao, who was dissatisfied with the bloodshot in his eyes, with a distressed face.
"I'm fine! Father, you better close your eyes and rest! Seeing that Xu Yao was obviously sleepy to death but still cared about herself, she felt even more self-reproachful.
Xu Yao looked at him and looked at him with eyes that gradually lost his previous disgust, and some were just indebted and moved, and he knew that his plan was successful.
Xu Tao slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep, and Xu Yao really yawned, so he went back to his room and slept well.
"Miss! Get up, don't sleep! The lord and the lady quarreled! Qiao'er banged on the door vigorously to wake Xu Yao up.
"Who! Disturbing dreams! Xu Yao, who was angry about getting up, scolded, kicked the quilt away with her feet, and slapped her hand on the bed.
"Miss, it's time to get up, Madame is arguing with the master, and the master is coughing up blood in anger!" Qiao'er didn't want to wake her up, no way.
"What? Right now, right now! ”
Xu Yao immediately got up when she heard the word coughing up blood, but she simply dressed up, opened the door and followed Qiao'er to the master's room.
Before entering the house, I heard a fierce noise inside, the eldest lady kept crying and arguing, Xu Tao coughed non-stop, and the content of the quarrel between the two was probably that Xu Qingcheng was crazy.
The eldest lady felt that it was Xu Yao's fault, and Xu Tao would naturally defend her, so the eldest lady would definitely be unhappy, and began to cry about the past, saying that he had an affair with a maid and gave birth to Xu Yao, a broom star or something.
Xu Yao listened to this, looked at the eldest lady, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but she didn't need to do it, she herself was completely revealed.
How could Mother say that? Yao'er is also your daughter~" Xu Yao walked in openly like this, and said in a particularly aggrieved crying voice.
"You are not my daughter, my daughter is only Allure! You're a broom star, it's you! You've made my daughter so insane! Get out! ”
The eldest lady is not hiding at all, and her current behavior does not look like a housewife at all, only seeing a market shrew who has been insulting poor Xu Yao.
"Someone! Ahem, ahem... Put the eldest lady in the firewood room, and give three meals a day, but she is not allowed to release it without my orders! ”
Xu Tao gave a loud order, and someone immediately dragged the eldest lady who was like a shrew down.
"Hahahaha... You and I have been married for more than ten years, and now you actually treat me like this, to my daughter, I will curse you under Jiuquan! ”
The eldest lady was completely insane, and even broke free from the subordinate, crashed into the pillar on the side, and died on the spot, her eyes not closed——。 Die with a grievance or everlasting regret.
"Bang dang", Xu Tao was stunned, and the next person came in crying and said, "The eldest lady hit the pillar and died!" Just a few words made Xu Tao fall out of bed and cry with his head buried in his head.
Xu Yao was also shocked, she didn't expect her to seek death directly, she didn't want to hurt her life.
"Father! You okay? Xu Yao hurriedly stepped forward to check.
"Woooooo
Xu Tao didn't speak, still crying.
"Go down! Good life to settle the body of the eldest lady! Xu Yao instructed his subordinates.
"Okay, miss, slave and maid leave!" After saying that, the subordinates left one after another.
I don't know how long Xu Tao cried, Xu was tired and fell asleep.
Xu Yao helped him onto the bed, covered the quilt, and turned to leave.
……
Xu Yao walked back to the room on the way to the silence and frightening, because of the sudden death of the eldest lady, everyone was busy, only Xu Yao walked aimlessly.
Thinking that the eldest lady was afraid that Xu Qingcheng would do something out of order, he hurriedly strode to her room, watched her lie on the bed, left with confidence, and asked her subordinates to watch her before leaving, and not let her run around.
……
The morning sun was just right, and the breeze was blowing gently, and finally no one woke Xu Yao up, closed her eyes and slept soundly, her face was still so beautiful without powder, so it seemed that God favored her extraordinarily.
Finally sleep to wake up naturally, without any noise!
No, it shouldn't be the funeral of the eldest lady today, how can it be so quiet.
Thinking like this, I also got up quickly, for fear that something would happen again.
When I opened the door, there were all people outside, dressed in white and wearing filial piety, and the lanterns were replaced with white, which was very quiet.
"Miss, you get up, quickly change into black clothes, take off all the headdresses, don't wear heavy makeup, can't wear bright clothes and skirts." Qiao'er saw the young lady come out, and hurriedly took the black clothes and handed them to her.
"Oh, good." Xu Yao took the black clothes, closed the door and changed into this particularly black clothes.
"Where is Father?" After Xu Yao changed it, she came out and asked.
"The lord greets the guests in the front hall, and you have to go quickly, miss." Qiao'er admonished.
"Okay, let's go then!" Xu Yao walked briskly towards the front hall, and Qiao'er followed closely behind.
After arriving in the front hall, the decoration inside was also white, and there were many so-called relatives and friends that Xu Yao didn't know, and she still had to deal with them.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, but I've grown into a big girl!"
"Yes, does Yao'er have a marriage match?"
"I have a nephew who just entered the weak crown this year, a talent, tall and big, enough for you!"
"Yes, don't be too picky, marry if you meet the right one!"
The urging of marriage in ancient times is no less than that of the seven aunts and eight aunts in modern times.
Before she could say a word, they felt that they had chosen it, and they were speechless.
"Today is the funeral of the eldest lady, my mother died of a stubborn illness, she gave her all for this family in her life, let's not talk about anything else, let's concentrate on praying!" On the way here, Qiao'er told her that the old man said that his wife had died of a stubborn disease.
"Yes, Miss!"
Although everyone was not convinced, the deceased was the greatest, so they still chose not to say what they had or not.
……
"Mourning and change!"
A familiar male voice sounded, Xu Yao hurriedly followed the voice and looked, that's right! It's him! It's Lin Yichen!
She wanted to hurry over to meet him, but... The first few times she has been going out over the wall, she should have never been far away.
The foot that took a step was retracted, and he watched silently, not approaching.
"Huh? Is it her? Lin Yichen looked at the familiar figure and thought something in mind.
"I didn't expect that the young master of the Lin family also came, I'm really sorry for the inconsiderate hospitality!"
Xu Tao actually came to entertain him in person, which shows how high their Lin family's status is in Xuanchen Kingdom.
"It's okay, the head of the Xu family should mourn and change!" Lin Yichen said that he was serious.
"Young Master Nalin will go to the main hall to eat later, eat and drink well!" Xu Tao motioned to his subordinates to lead Lin Yichen to the main hall.
"Young Master Lin, please here..." The subordinate directed Lin Yichen in the direction of the main hall.
"Then Yichen retired first!" Lin Yichen saluted Xu Tao, and then followed his subordinates to the main hall.
Seeing him go away Xu Yao dared to come out of the room, Qiao'er asked why she was hiding from Young Master Lin, Xu Yao didn't answer, she knew that no one could believe it, in case the person around her was an informant sent by someone else, it was better to be cautious.
……
"Hahaha, good wine and good meat!"
"Yes, it is worthy of Old Man Xu, and his shot is generous!"
"It would be nice to have a few more funerals like this."
"Brother Ping, joke joke."
Watching them talk and laugh, they didn't have the consciousness of participating in the funeral at all, and they spoke openly, Xu Yao definitely taught these people a lesson who didn't know the height of the sky.
So he asked Qiao'er to bring the wine with laxatives to the table, expecting that they would definitely drink it, because this was the most expensive, and there was no mare's milk wine outside.
Sure enough, they drank it all, and after a while, they wailed, and they ran to the latrine several times.
The foul words continued, and the people around them looked at their embarrassment and smiled from ear to ear.
"Humph! Market villain! That's how it should be! Xu Yao looked at them with disdain.
"Miss did the right thing!" Qiao'er looked at Xu Yao with admiration.
All this was seen by Lin Yichen on the side.
