Chapter 415 - 415 Madam's Death
415 Madam’s Death
With that, Madam suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. It seemed the medicine had taken effect as she held her stomach and collapsed on the ground.
Second Madam quickly shouted, “Hurry up and send Mom to the hospital.”
Li Tinglei said in a panic, “I’ll prepare the car.”
Then, the Li family was in a mess. By the time they rushed to the hospital, Madam had already died.
After the doctor announced Madam’s death, the Li brothers sent Madam’s body home in frustration. The originally high-spirited men suddenly looked downtrodden this time.
After all, the only woman in the world who loved them without asking for anything in return was already dead and would never wake up.
At this moment, they were facing many difficulties, such as how to tell the bad news of their mother’s death to their father, who was not in good health.
Should they hold a grand funeral for her mother? After all, their mother had died of unnatural causes. If the news of their mother’s death was widely spread, it would probably cause criticism.
After a long silence, Li Tingfeng finally said, “Why don’t we hold Mother’s funeral in a low profile? Other than the main family, there’s no need to inform our relatives and friends outside?”
Li Tinglei said, “What about Fourth Brother?”
Li Tingfeng was furious at the mention of Huo Xiaoran. “Why tell him? He’s not her child, to begin with. She has always had a deep grudge against him.”
Li Tinglei said worriedly, “But if Fourth Brother doesn’t come, do you think Old Master will let Madam’s death go?”
Li Tingfeng also knew that his father would definitely be furious that his mother committed suicide. If his father knew about his mother’s death, he would definitely make a fuss.
In this family, only Huo Xiaoran could convince his father.
Li Tingfeng had no idea.
Li Tingye glanced at Li Tinglei. He had always been selfish. Madam’s death was caused by the third branch. He was unwilling to bear this trouble with Li Tingfeng. Therefore, he immediately refuted Li Tingfeng. “Mother was forced to her death by you. You want to deal with it quietly to avoid trouble. But in my opinion, it wasn’t easy for Mother to raise us. We should send her off in a grand manner.”
Li Tingfeng was indignant and quarreled with the eldest son. “What do you mean by that? Li Tingye, speak with some conscience. If you hadn’t run the Li family poorly, would my mother have taken things too hard?”
Li Tinglei had always been filial. He scolded Li Tingfeng, who was lying through his teeth, “Third Brother, if it weren’t for the chaos in your third branch, how could Mother have died to rid herself of the troubles? Have you forgotten Mother’s last words? She said that she would rather our family be poor than be torn apart.”
Li Tingfeng was very angry at being reprimanded by his two brothers.
The halo brought about by his glory had already disappeared. He gritted his teeth and said fiercely, “This is all Li Zecheng’s fault.”
Li Tinglei shook his head and sighed. “You’re really hopeless.”
Li Tingye said, “I agree. Let’s prepare a funeral for Mother.”
With this conclusion, Li Tinglei decisively called Huo Xiaoran.
When Huo Xiaoran picked up Second Brother’s call, Second Brother said in a hoarse voice, “Xiaoran, come back quickly. Madam has left.”
Huo Xiaoran was still a little confused. He glanced out of the window. Where could Madam go in the middle of the night?
It took him a long time to come back to his senses.
“Second Brother, what did you say? What exactly happened to Madam?” Huo Xiaoran asked in agitation.
Li Tinglei said, “She died in the early morning. Come back and discuss her funeral with us.”
Huo Xiaoran raised his doubts. “Madam has always been healthy. Why did she suddenly leave?”
Li Tinglei was unwilling to reveal too much. “Let’s talk when you get back.”
After all, if a mother committed suicide, it would be embarrassing for her sons.
Huo Xiaoran got up from the bed and woke Qiao An up.
“Hubby, what’s wrong?” Seeing Huo Xiaoran sitting on the bed in a daze, Qiao An realized that something was wrong. She reached out and touched his hand.
She realized that his hand was cold.
Qiao An got up and touched his forehead again.
“Why are you so cold? Is your physical anxiety returning?” she asked.
Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An in a daze. Seeing Qiao An’s anxious and worried gaze, he suddenly placed his head on her shoulder.
“An’an, Madam is gone.”
Qiao An was dumbfounded.
Her reaction was the same as Huo Xiaoran’s. “Why did she suddenly pass away?”
“Second Brother didn’t elaborate on the phone.”
Qiao An stroked Huo Xiaoran’s head. At this moment, only she could understand Huo Xiaoran’s complicated feelings.
“Hubby, the person who abused you is gone. Don’t be sad, okay?”
Huo Xiaoran said with red eyes, “Yes, I should be happy. But An’an, I can’t be happy.”
Qiao An said, “Because she’s the Li family’s faith. Brother Xiaoran, you still have feelings for the Li family. In that case, let’s send her off?”
“Yeah.”
When Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An rushed to the Li family’s villa, Madam’s body was parked in the storage room in the back garden.
That place was temporarily tidied up and made into a morgue. Huo Xiaoran looked at the silent Li family and frowned.
“Second Brother, Madam is dead. Why is the Li family so quiet?”
Li Tinglei sighed and said, “Sigh, Fourth Brother, you don’t know, Old Master has been in very poor health these past two days. We don’t dare to tell him this bad news. I’m afraid Old Master won’t be able to take it.”
Huo Xiaoran frowned. The old man may not accept that his partner would suddenly disappear from his world. Huo Xiaoran felt that this was abnormally cruel.
He was immediately furious. “Old Master has the right to know about Madam’s death.”
Li Tinglei looked at Huo Xiaoran and asked for help, “Xiaoran, Old Master has always listened to you the most. Why don’t you tell him this bad news?”
Huo Xiaoran instantly understood and sneered. “You unfilial descendants are afraid that Father will beat you up! Tell me, how did the old lady die?”
Only then did Li Tinglei tell the truth. “Recently, the third branch hasn’t been peaceful, especially yesterday. Your third brother beat Ze’en up angrily. I don’t know how Zecheng got the news, but he rushed in angrily and beat up your third brother and third sister-in-law. Madam was exhausted. That night, she drank paraquat and died.”
Huo Xiaoran trembled.
In that case, Madam’s death had something to do with him.
After all, he was the one who informed Li Zecheng.
Qiao An knew that Huo Xiaoran was a kind-hearted doctor. It was inevitable that he would blame himself for such a thing. After Li Tinglei left, she comforted Huo Xiaoran.
