Shan Long's words, seemingly unintentional, caused an uproar among the surrounding guests and cultivators.
"There were rumors before that the Ye family was ruthless and ruthless!"
"Hey! How can you believe this rumor? It's just a lie!"
"Look everyone! That father and son are still wearing mourning clothes!"
"I don't think they are ungrateful people!"
"Otherwise, they could just send a wreath!"
"Speaking of which, the eldest daughter of the Qin family is still alive and standing in the mourning hall. Is it appropriate for them to wear mourning clothes?"
There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and suddenly someone said this, everyone quieted down and started waiting to see the show!
If they were sending a wreath to the deceased, there would be nothing wrong with the Ye family's attire, but the problem was that Qin Xiyao was still standing in the mourning hall in high spirits!
The Ye family wants to cancel the engagement, so there’s no need to do this, right?
This kind of thing has caused a lot of uproar in the city. Which girl would dare to marry into the Ye family in the future?
By doing this, the Ye family father and son are completely digging their own graves!
"Uncle Ye! Are you here to attend my funeral too?"
Qin Xiyao's voice was not loud, but her tone was full of fatigue, disappointment and confusion.
Just imagine, the people closest to her don’t want her to live a good life. How happy would she be if she could be happy?
"It was someone from your Qin family who informed me!"
Ye Xiongba said this as he walked up to Qin Xiyao and handed her the obituary. He then turned and stared at Qin Peng: "Brother Qin! Aren't you going to give me an explanation?"
Ye Xiongba acted like a victim at this moment, making everyone think that he was innocent and that the Qin family had gone too far!
When Qin Xiyao's life or death was unknown, no one was sent to look for her, but a funeral was held directly!
What was Qin Peng, the patriarch of the Qin family, trying to achieve? Didn't everyone present know?
Originally, everyone had come to Qin Xiyao's funeral! Qin Xiyao's survival and appearance at the funeral turned the whole thing around. They had already come, and now, with such a wonderful scene, how could they bear to miss it?
It was no big deal for Qin Peng to arrange a funeral for Qin Xiyao, but he passed on false news to Ye Xiongba, causing him to lose face at the funeral and face the risk of breaking off his engagement with the Qin family. Did Qin Peng owe him an explanation?
He - Ye Xiongba is the local emperor of Wutong City. When he opens his mouth, the whole Wutong City will tremble!
Qin Peng was so bold that he actually dared to trick him into attending the funeral of a living person?
Moreover, the person to be buried was Qin Xiyao, who was engaged to his eldest son Ye Jian. What about his future daughter-in-law?
"Patriarch Qin is so anxious to marry his daughter into the Ye family that he's going crazy! He's actually holding a funeral for a living person. How ridiculous!"
"He even deceived Patriarch Ye. Patriarch Qin must think his life is too long!"
"Hey! How could Miss Waste have such an uncle?"
"I thought Patriarch Qin treated her very well!"
"So he's a black-hearted uncle who wants to take his niece's property for himself!"
"What kind of thing is this? He's even trying to steal his niece's life and replace it with his own daughter's!"
"Everyone knows that the Ye family is wealthy. Marrying into their family will bring you a life of luxury!"
"That's really cruel! They don't even leave any chance for the useless guy to survive!"
Before Qin Peng could answer Ye Xiongba's words, the surrounding guests and cultivators started talking again!
Their discussion was not very loud, but everyone present heard every word clearly!
Qin Peng originally wanted Ye Xiongba to come to the funeral as a witness so that he could give up the idea and give Qin Yuwei a status. Even if Qin Xiyao survived in the future, he would have a reason and evidence.
Qin Yuwei told him that there was no possibility of Qin Xiyao surviving. He had thought of all the bad outcomes, but he had never thought that Qin Xiyao would survive so quickly, and unharmed!
"Master Ye! I'm so sorry! It was Yu'er who told me that Xiyao had no chance of survival, so I..."
Although it was almost June and the weather was getting warmer, the temperature control machine was on in the hall of Qin Xiyao's villa, and everyone felt cool. Only Qin Peng had sweat on his forehead and a rosy face.
"What's with the little brother? Don't try to get close to me. My last name is Ye! Not Qin!"
Ye Xiongba had a cold face and was determined not to give Qin Peng any way out! Who made him so anxious to find a husband for his precious daughter and use his reputation to his advantage?
Since you dare to use his reputation for profit, you have to bear the consequences!
"Yes! Yes! Then what compensation does Patriarch Ye need?"
Ye Xiongba was furious! Qin Peng was so frightened that his legs went weak. He knew the consequences of offending the Ye family: not only would he lose his position as the head of the Qin family, but even his children's marriages would be in jeopardy!
If he couldn't appease Ye Xiongba's emotions, no one would be willing to accept Qin Yuwei, let alone marrying her into the Ye family, even if she married someone from an ordinary area of the Xuankong Continent!
"Compensation? Can you afford it? I, Ye Xiongba, am not as vulgar as you. You only care about money! Look at what you gave birth to! You want to marry into my Ye family?"
Ye Xiongba's last sentence completely cut off Qin Yuwei's thoughts. Originally, Qin Peng was thinking that if Ye Jian really didn't remember Qin Yuwei, he would ask Ye Xiongba for some benefits!
But when Ye Xiongba said this, it gave a signal to the guests and cultivators present, that is: the daughter of the Qin family head is shameless. In order to snatch her cousin's life, she is willing to pay for it!
As soon as Ye Xiongba said this, all the guests and cultivators present thought that Qin Yuwei was throwing herself at the Ye family.
If Qin Peng mentioned the benefits to Ye Xiongba again, wouldn't that confirm the fact that Qin Yuwei was paying for it? It would even make him despise him and Qin Yuwei even more!
Qin Peng didn't expect that due to his momentary greed, he wanted to seize Qin Xiyao's property. In the end, he not only failed to get the property but also got into trouble, and even made his position as the head of the family shaky!
He knew very well that after the farce at Qin Xiyao's funeral, those old antiques in the Qin family would definitely come to a settlement with him.
In order to keep his position as the head of the family, he had no choice but to sacrifice his reputation. He turned around and knelt down to Qin Xiyao with a plop in front of the guests and cultivators.
"Good niece! Save uncle! Forgive uncle! I know I was wrong! I didn't mean it!"
Qin Peng saw that he had said a lot but Qin Xiyao remained silent and just stared at him like a wooden man.
His heart became even more panicked!
Qin Peng turned around hurriedly and pointed at Qin Yuwei: "She told me all this! She was the one who urged me to hold your funeral!"
Qin Yuwei was stunned when her own father pointed at her nose and splashed dirty water on her: She admitted that when she came back from Baicao Valley, she concealed some details and lied, and only told Qin Peng that Qin Xiyao would not come back!
But, holding a funeral for Qin Xiyao really has nothing to do with her!
She was wondering at the time why her father believed her casual words.
It turned out that he was waiting for her here!
If the funeral is a success, they will benefit; if something unexpected happens and it fails, they will push her out!
It turns out her father is very frugal and she doesn't suffer any loss at all!
