Chapter 676 This person cannot be allowed to live.
When the news of Old Mrs. Qiao's death arrived, Qiao Qinghe was stunned for a long time.
Although Wei Jia had a vague suspicion at the time, this was also the result she had hoped for, so she quickly accepted it.
Seeing Qiao Qinghe's reaction, he was unsure of her attitude.
Fortunately, after a brief moment of stunned silence, Qiao Qinghe instructed someone to help her change into plain clothes and then went to pay her respects with Wei Jia and Feng Yuerou.
Wei Jia hesitated several times before finally managing to say something, but ultimately failed to do so.
Qiao Qinghe noticed her anxiety and said casually, "Don't worry, I didn't mean to blame you."
To be honest, she actually felt a sense of relief.
Although it was unfilial of her to say that, aside from her initial shock and bewilderment, she was indeed relieved.
She was truly fed up with the old lady's troublemaking and her foolish ignorance.
It's better that she died like this, at least she won't have to take matters into her own hands one day when she can't stand it anymore.
When the Qiao family arrived at the Qiao residence, the second branch of the family had already arrived.
Qiao Jingyao and Qiao Jinglian also took leave and rushed back.
As grandchildren, both of them had to observe a year of mourning for Grandma Qiao.
Qiao Qinghe was helpless in the face of this.
Qiao Qinghe originally thought that the Qiao family would harbor some resentment towards her because of the old lady's death.
In fact, the Qiao family behaved perfectly normally from beginning to end. Except for the eldest sister-in-law, Xiao Li, whose expression was slightly unnatural when she saw her, everyone else was no different from usual.
Later, she still paid her respects to Old Madam Qiao. When Jinglian's wife took her to see Qiao Wangshi, who was lying in bed recovering from her injuries, she told her, "I was the one who took care of Old Madam Qiao in the days before she died."
"Besides my father-in-law, I'm the only one who knows the real cause of the old lady's death."
After thinking for a moment, Jinglian's wife added, "Perhaps my mother-in-law has also guessed something."
After all, her father-in-law asked her and her mother-in-law to leave that day. He spoke with the old lady alone for a while, and then she fell ill.
Less than 15 minutes after her father-in-law left, the old lady began to have a high fever and fainted. She passed away three days later.
Nobody believes you if they say the old lady's death was not a problem.
However, she didn't care.
Now, no one in this house will cause trouble anymore.
Ever since the old master came to the capital, he has loved going to the theater. On the day the old lady had her accident, the old master was also listening to the opera at the Huajiaolou until evening before returning home.
The old lady was already in a coma with a high fever at that time.
The old man merely inquired about the situation, sighed, and said nothing more. He stayed by the old woman's side for three days until she breathed her last, then finally sighed softly, "You were someone who didn't know how to enjoy life. It's better that you died sooner. It's better for you, for me, and for the children. Go! Go! It's good that you're gone! It's good that you're gone!"
Upon hearing Jinglian's wife relay these words, Qiao Qinghe knew that the old man actually understood everything.
However, he lived a more enlightened and carefree life than the old lady.
In childhood, they rely on their father; in adulthood, they rely on their son; in old age, they rely on their grandson. They never have to worry about anything in their lives.
Only the old lady couldn't see things clearly. Despite having no real ability, she still wanted to meddle in everything and live a dignified and respectable life.
As a result, he ruined his own good fortune by causing trouble.
Qiao Qinghe didn't speak, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment, so Jing Lian's wife changed the subject.
“My father-in-law has given the order that I will be in charge of all matters in the household from now on, and my mother-in-law is not allowed to interfere easily.”
Because of the old lady's situation, my father-in-law has lost trust in my mother-in-law.
Therefore, the mother-in-law was completely stripped of her right to speak in the household.
Come to think of it, my mother-in-law is like a clay figure in front of the old lady; she listens to whatever the old lady says. She has no opinions of her own whatsoever.
If she hadn't arrived in time, who knows what would have happened to her third sister-in-law.
Moreover, her mother-in-law actually wanted to hit her at the time.
That mother-in-law of hers is truly clueless!
Did they think the capital was like the Jiangnan region? They can't see the bigger picture!
Qiao Qinghe smiled and said, "Then you should take good care of the household. If anything happens, just come to your cousin-in-law. She won't stand idly by if she can help."
Jinglian's wife smiled and agreed.
After meeting Qiao Wangshi, Qiao Qinghe comforted her again before leaving.
Although Qiao Qinghe didn't have much affection for Old Madam Qiao, she still did everything she was supposed to do to maintain appearances, leaving no room for criticism.
After paying respects to Old Madam Qiao and visiting Madam Qiao, she and Qiao Qingping went to the study and talked for a long time.
It wasn't until evening that she left with Wei Jia and Feng Yuerou, planning to come back the next day.
Since the Qiao family had just arrived in the capital and were unfamiliar with the place, they did not plan to hold a grand funeral.
Once the memorial requesting the death of Jing Yao and Jing Lian to be approved is issued, the two will set off to escort the coffin back to their hometown for burial.
During this period, Qiao Qinghe planned to come and check on things every day. She had to maintain appearances.
As the group exited the Qiao residence, a carriage from the Qiao family was already waiting at the gate.
Wei Jia and Feng Yuerou were helping Qiao Qinghe onto the carriage when they suddenly heard a harsh yet familiar voice coming from not far behind them.
"Oh, so Madam Qinghe is already leaving after paying her respects? Why are you in such a hurry? Are you feeling guilty?"
Qiao Qinghe withdrew her foot from the low stool, turned around and looked at the person who came in, "What do you mean by that, Madam Qian?"
The person who came was none other than the old lady of the Qian family.
She smirked and said sarcastically, "Grandma Qiao was perfectly fine. How come she fell ill this afternoon after your family came over this morning? She's gone in just a few days!"
"Tsk tsk, as you know, Old Mrs. Qiao was literally angered to death!"
"If you didn't know better, you'd think that Grandma Qiao had been murdered!"
"A perfectly healthy person, just gone like that. Tsk tsk, and she was her own mother! What a world..."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Qinghe's face instantly darkened.
A look of panic flashed across Feng Yuerou's face.
Only Wei Jia squinted, looking at Old Madam Qian with a dangerous gaze.
"Grandma, Heaven is watching what people do. We have a clear conscience, so we can be at peace with ourselves."
"But you, old lady, are you really at peace with yourself?"
"Don't wait until the dead come after you to realize how grave your sins are!"
"You...you're cursing me?" Old Mrs. Qian glared fiercely at Wei Jia.
But Wei Jia ignored her and helped Qiao Qinghe into the car.
"Mother, if what Old Madam Qian just said gets out, it will probably cause a lot of trouble!"
Feng Yuerou was extremely worried.
The matter of Prince Qi's mansion wanting to bring Li Yiqian back is still unresolved. If someone were to seize on this matter now, the situation would likely worsen.
Qiao Qinghe naturally understood this principle as well.
She caused all this trouble just by chasing Old Madam Qiao away before the baby's first birthday celebration. Now, if rumors spread that she drove her own mother to her death...
I'm afraid she really won't be able to keep Qian Ge'er!
I just hope that Princess Huaiyang's plan can proceed quickly and that she can bring the King of Qi down to earth as soon as possible.
However, she needs to hold on until then.
so……
"This person cannot be allowed to live."
Wei Jia nodded in deep agreement and replied, "Mother is right. Leave this to me. I already have a plan in mind."
