Chapter 356 - 356 Funeral
356 Funeral
Qiao Yue didn’t leave the Yin residence with Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing left first.
On the day he left, Qiao Yue didn’t even see him off.
They used to be so close, but now, everything was broken like sea foam hitting the shores.
Qiao Yue returned to the Qiao residence with Yin He and Su Xun.
Their purpose today was to confront the two brothers, Qiao Yi and Qiao Li.
She didn’t expect to see a funeral wake shed and all kinds of wreaths when she arrived at the Qiao residence.
Qiao Yue was confused.
“What’s all this?” Qiao Yue frowned as she looked at the entrance.
Words on the wreath at the entrance read: We mourn the seventh miss of the Qiao family, Qiao Ying.
Qiao Yue’s eyes widened instantly.
Qiao Ying?
Why was Qiao Ying here? Wasn’t she alive and well? How did she suddenly die?
She dashed into the Qiao residence in disbelief, shocking all the guests at the wake.
Qiao Ying’s coffin was placed in the courtyard of the Qiao residence, looking very out of place.
At this time, Qiao Yue had already reverted to dressing like a girl. Both guests and people of the Qiao family were shocked to see her.
“Isn’t that the fifth young master of the Qiao family? Why is he dressed like a girl?”
“Yeah. Didn’t his brother say that she’s staying in K-Country? Why is she back?”
“She’s really rude to cause trouble when her sister just died. She doesn’t give a damn that if it weren’t for the Qiao family, she’s still a country bumpkin from Nanshan.”
Qiao Yue’s eyes scanned the crowd before her gaze fell on the third madam who was about to leave.
The third madam was wearing a black dress, with black and white flowers in her hair. Her eyes looked swollen, as if she had been crying for her daughter.
Qiao Yue walked up and grabbed the third madam’s collar. “Are you the one who caused Qiao Ying’s death?”
“Qiao Ying died from poisoning.” Qiao Li walked over and looked coldly at Qiao Yue grabbing his wife’s collar, but without any intention to stop her.
“Can you repeat that?” Qiao Yue looked at Qiao Li sharply.
“How did she get poisoned? Qiao Ying was fine when I went to K-Country. How is she dead now?”
Qiao Li looked a little sad. “I don’t know either. It seems that she was in low spirits and drank a lot of poison to kill herself. We didn’t find out until it was too late.”
“Impossible, you must have poisoned her.” Qiao Yue dropped the third madam to the ground. “Tell me, did you kill Qiao Ying?”
The third madam panicked and shed a few tears. “How could I kill my own daughter? She’s my daughter. I am also very heartbroken with her passing.”
Qiao Yue looked at the hypocritical third madam and sneered, “Qiao Ying is your biological daughter? Do you think I don’t know the truth? Qiao Ying is the daughter you bought. You bought her after your son died so as not to upset the others.”
“What nonsense is an outsider like you spouting?” A man rushed up from the crowd to grab Qiao Yue but was stopped by Yin He.
Qiao Yue looked at them with a cold smile. “You’re the ones who killed Qiao Ying, right? Qiao Ying isn’t your biological daughter. Besides, she has evidence of your crimes.”
The third madam pursed her lips and shed a few more tears. “How can I possibly kill my own daughter? Qiao Yue, you need evidence when you speak like that. What makes you say that I didn’t give birth to my daughter? Besides, you’ve been turning Qiao Ying against us. She probably couldn’t take it and chose to kill herself.”
The crowd watched the turn of events in surprise.
“What kind of shocking secret is this? The seventh miss of the Qiao family is actually not the third madam’s biological daughter? The third madam of the Qiao family may have other secrets that we don’t know about.”
“This third madam of the Qiao family is a powerful figure. The doctor has been imprisoned on an island and the second family has been banished. She’s now the one in charge of the Qiao family affairs.”
“Yeah. This third madam may have other secrets… How can such a powerful person be innocent?”
“But this fifth young miss of the Qiao family is also outrageous. She’s clearly an adopted daughter, but she dares to challenge the third madam of the Qiao family. That’s too outrageous.”
Just as everyone was discussing animatedly, the crowd suddenly made way.
Qiao Jing walked out of the crowd, followed by Qiao Ren and Qiao Yu.
Qiao Jing was now acting like the head of the family.
Qiao Yue looked at Qiao Jing and felt that he was a stranger.
