Chapter 679 The Death of Old Mrs. Qian

Ah Shuang said with great interest, "Why doesn't the Qian family investigate the cause of Old Madam Qian's death? Instead, they are actively trying to cover it up?"

Qiao Qinghe was also curious, so she smiled and said, "Why don't we just call Weijia over and ask her?"

Ah Shuang happily agreed and ran to the door to instruct the maid to invite someone.

Not long after, Wei Jia arrived.

"My mother called me over to ask about Old Mrs. Qian, right?"

Before Qiao Qinghe could speak, Wei Jia revealed the reason why Qiao Qinghe had called her over.

Qiao Qinghe smiled and waved, "Exactly. Come and sit down, and tell me all about it. How did you do it?"

As soon as Wei Jia sat down next to Qiao Qinghe, A Shuang rushed over to pour her a cup of hot tea, then stood behind Qiao Qinghe and looked at her expectantly.

Wei Jia didn't keep them in suspense and said, "Old Madam Qian's death was all thanks to Qian Yulan."

"Qian Yulan?" Qiao Qinghe looked puzzled and turned to look at A Shuang.

A Shuang shook her head at Qiao Qinghe, indicating that she didn't know her either.

At this moment, Wei Jia explained to the two of them: "Qian Yulan is the granddaughter of Old Madam Qian. She is the Miss Qian who was entangled with by the young master of the Yu family and who wanted to force her into marriage."

Qiao Qinghe suddenly remembered this person.

"Speaking of which, what happened to Miss Qian and that Young Master Yu back then?"

Wei Jia chuckled and said, "What else could it be? It's a success, of course."

"It's done!?" Qiao Qinghe was shocked. "Didn't they say the Qian family was vehemently opposed? How could it have been done?"

She remembered that the young master of the Yu family was ugly, lewd, horny, and cruel, and had even killed people.

Have the Qian family gone mad? How could they agree to this marriage?

Wei Jia gave a wry smile, and then told Qiao Qinghe everything about the Qian family.

It is said that the Qian family originally did not agree to this marriage. At that time, Old Madam Qian even pretended to faint and drove away the Yu family mother and son.

Later, however, the carriage of the two grandsons of the Qian family crashed into the carriage of the family of the concubine of the King of Chu.

Madam Zhou is the aunt of Consort Zhou, and relying on this relationship, she doesn't take the Qian family seriously at all.

So after being hit, they went to my door and made a scene twice.

But Old Madam Qian was a cousin of Lady Wen, the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang.

The Yongchang Marquis's residence was also the maternal family of the King of Chu.

So, after many twists and turns, the matter eventually reached Madam Wen's ears.

With the Yongchang Marquis's mansion stepping in, the Zhou family was naturally suppressed.

They insisted that it was all an unintentional mistake by the children, and in the end, they did not make the two young masters of the Qian family apologize. They even made the Qian family pay for the medical expenses.

The Zhou family, on the contrary, apologized to Old Madam Qian for their previous disturbance at the Qian family's home.

The Zhou family was a third-rank official's residence, which meant they were a family of high status and power.

Able to bend and stretch.

Most importantly, the fact that they were able to send their own daughter to the Chu Prince's residence as a concubine shows that they also have ambitions.

Therefore, the Zhou family was naturally aware that the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion was an important pillar in supporting the Chu King's ascension to the throne.

In front of the Marquis of Yongchang's residence, they naturally wouldn't be too assertive.

However, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Yongchang's family is to marry into the Prince of Chu's family as his principal wife. She will inevitably compete with Consort Zhou for his affections.

Therefore, after the Zhou family outwardly apologized, they secretly planned to teach the Qian family a harsh lesson.

This also indirectly tells the Yongchang Marquis's mansion that the Zhou family is not to be trifled with.

So the Zhou family approached the Yu family, and together they set a trap, causing Qian Laoshi's son, Doctor Qian, to make a mistake during his mission.

Faced with the choice between her son's future and her granddaughter's marriage, Old Mrs. Qian chose the former.

Thus, Miss Qian was forced into an engagement with Young Master Yu.

What's most ruthless about the Zhou family is that they secretly arranged for Old Madam Qian to use the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion to pressure the Zhou family. That's why the Zhou family deliberately helped the Yu family to arrange this marriage in order to get revenge on the Qian family.

Ultimately, it's all Grandma Qian's fault!

Originally, all Old Mrs. Qian had to do was obediently pay the money and have her two grandsons apologize to Mrs. Zhou, and the matter would have been settled.

However, Old Madam Qian went to the Yongchang Marquis's mansion and, relying on the power of Madam Wen, bullied the Zhou family.

The Zhou family naturally retaliated.

And so, she became the most innocent victim.

From then on, Miss Qian harbored resentment towards her grandmother.

Wei Jia has been quietly observing all of this.

Therefore, when Qiao Qinghe proposed to resolve the issue of Old Mrs. Qian, she took the initiative to accept the task.

At that time, she already had a preliminary idea in mind.

After that, she had someone deliver a letter to Miss Qian.

After reading the letter, Miss Qian began to take action.

She first drugged the old lady of the Qian family, causing her to have nightmares and sleep poorly at night, leaving her listless and lethargic during the day.

As the dosage of the medication increased, Mrs. Qian began to have nightmares every night, always dreaming that Mrs. Qiao would come to find her in the middle of the night.

It is said that if she hadn't stirred things up, she wouldn't have been rejected by her children and ultimately taken her own life.

Gradually, Old Mrs. Qian began to see Old Mrs. Qiao appear before her when she opened her eyes at night, saying that she would take her to the underworld with her so that she would have company on the journey and not be too lonely.

After being frightened into fainting several times, Old Mrs. Qian's mental state completely collapsed.

The Qian family naturally invited doctors to come and see her, and the doctors who came all said that Old Madam Qian was frightened.

The people who served Old Mrs. Qian also said that the old lady kept talking about how Old Mrs. Qiao's ghost had come to find her.

This made everyone around her suspicious.

There's nothing we can do; the old lady's nightmares and ghost sightings always happen at night.

But every night, the people who took care of the old lady would sleep like logs, and no matter how much the old lady called out, no one could hear her.

Moreover, no matter who is on duty or how many more people are added to the night watch, they all fall into a deep sleep every night.

Ever since Old Mrs. Qian started having nightmares at night, Qian Yulan volunteered to move in with her.

They also came forward at this time to confirm what everyone had said.

Upon hearing this, Madam Qian wanted her daughter to move out of the old lady's courtyard.

But Qian Yulan disagreed, saying that she would stay with her grandmother until she recovered.

Finally, after Mrs. Qian pleaded with her through tears, Qian Yulan had no choice but to agree.

However, she offered to spend one last night with the old lady.

Seeing her insistence, Madam Qian nodded in agreement.

That evening, Madam Qian was really worried about her daughter, and Doctor Qian was also concerned about his mother. So, the couple tidied up and went to the old lady's room.

To her surprise, upon entering the house, she witnessed her own daughter dressed as a ghost to scare the old lady.

What they found most unacceptable was that the old lady, who was already at her last gasp, was actually scared to death by her granddaughter this time.

One can imagine the fury of Doctor Qian and the astonishment of Madam Qian.

After listening to their daughter's grievances and resentment, the Qian couple could only try to smooth things over with mixed feelings.

Finally, the news of Mrs. Qian's passing spread.

They had also bribed the doctors who had treated the old lady beforehand, making them all change their tune.

After listening to Wei Jia's story, A Shuang couldn't help but want to applaud and cheer.

"Serves him right!"

Qiao Qinghe laughed heartily, but asked, "How did you know all this inside information? And how did you know it so clearly?"
