Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: Da Qiao doesn't want to be a widow anymore

Chapter 201 Funeral Ceremony
The main branch of the Qiao family is still in Lujiang. Although the place is not far away, it will take several days before Qiao Wei sends someone to deliver the message until the elders of the clan arrive at Wu County. Sun Quan made an expedient arrangement and arranged for Sun Jing to temporarily preside over the funeral ceremony. Two days later, Qiao Rui supported the funeral, and Qiao's mother, Qiao Wei and Qiao Rong accompanied her back to her home in Wan County.

The sudden death of Qiao's father cast a haze over the entire Qiao family and Juxuge. Qiao Rong accompanied Qiao's mother in the room and cried every day. As the eldest daughter, Qiao Wei had to brace herself up and make arrangements to entertain the female relatives who came to pay their respects.

In the evening, Sun Deng cried again and asked Qiao Wei to sleep with him. Qiao Wei had to take care of both ends and was not allowed to rest. In just two days, he watched him become haggard and lose weight.

Lu's mother, accompanied by Lu Su, came to pay homage. Seeing Qiao Wei's pale face, she felt extremely distressed and said, "A good person becomes haggard just by looking at him."

Mother Qiao didn't have many close female relatives in Wu County, so Mother Lu took the initiative to stay with her and talk to her to comfort her. Lu's mother also lost her husband in middle age. Compared with others, she could best understand Qiao's mother's sadness at this time.

"Now just for the sake of a few children, Mrs. Qiao has to hold back her grief for the time being. The eldest son has not yet had a wife, so you still need to take care of this family. There are still children and grandchildren who have not yet enjoyed the blessings!"

Mother Qiao looked at her grandson Lu Qing who was following Mother Lu, and thought of her grandson Qiao Hui who was still in the He family.

Although He and Qiao Rui have reconciled, this child is a bloodline of the Qiao family. This time when I return to Wan County, I must take the child back. Otherwise, Qiao Rui would have to observe mourning for his father for three years, and the Qiao family's bloodline would never be reborn again.

Thinking of this, Mother Qiao felt hopeful. She gradually cheered up and managed to eat some food. Seeing Qiao's mother like this, Qiao Rong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiao's father helped Ling return to his hometown, and Sun Quan also had to accompany him, so he entrusted the affairs of Wu County to Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong. If there were any doubts, they would be sent to Wan County for further decision-making. He also ordered Lu Su to keep an eye on matters related to the Hundred Refinements Technique, discuss it further with Young Master Mo and Rongsheng, and named this matter Bai Hong's Strategy.

Sun Quan personally accompanied him back to his hometown, and the Qiao family naturally did not dare to neglect him. Those who came to pick up the spirit were all direct members of the family.

Qiao Wei looked at those familiar and unfamiliar faces, "I never knew that our Qiao family has so many brothers and elders."

Father Qiao's official position was not prominent during his lifetime, and he was originally a concubine. He left the family early and had almost no contact with the family. Even at the end of the year, he hardly moved around.

Even Mother Qiao didn't quite know who the relatives were.

Qiao Wei also knew that they were not here to hold the funeral ceremony for Father Qiao at all, but no matter what their purpose was, as long as they didn't bother with Father Qiao's funeral ceremony.

Qiao Wei watched carefully for two days, but something happened after all.

It's just that the person who caused the trouble was not a relative of the Qiao family, but Qiao's mother herself.

Seeing that Qiao's mother was in better spirits, Qiao Rong helped her to see Father Qiao in front of the mourning hall. Unexpectedly, Mother Qiao suddenly burst into tears, hugging Father Qiao's coffin and burst into tears, "My lord, you left alone. But you have left me alone, and you wish you had asked me to go with you!"

Naturally, several of the Qiao family's sisters-in-law quickly stepped forward to persuade him.

But Mother Qiao couldn't stop at all, "Rui'er hasn't even gotten married yet, and even her only child was taken away by the He family. If you were still here, why would those people bully us orphans and widowed mothers!"

She grieved louder and louder, beating the coffin with her hands, as if to wake up the person in the coffin, "Get up, my lord! My lord! I'm sorry that you have worked hard all your life, but I don't even kowtow to you." I don’t have any grandchildren. God opens your eyes!”

Qiao Wei was exhausted both mentally and physically when he saw her fussing in the mourning hall like this. The elders of the Qiao family were even more embarrassed. At that time, Qiao Rui was imprisoned and was escorted to Wu County. The He family came to reconcile and asked to take the child back to the He family and change their surname to He. The elders also nodded and signed.

There is no other reason. The dowry that He brought when he married in was almost all spent by the Qiao family.

The He family wanted to get back the dowry, but the Qiao family couldn't pay it back, and it was impossible for the Qiao family to pay it back. The Qiao family didn't care about this, so naturally they had no choice but to let the He family raise conditions.

Now that Mother Qiao is crying like this, it can be regarded as a slap in their face.

As expected, the faces of several elders of the Qiao family also turned blue and white, as if they had eaten flies.

Qiao Wei had no choice but to let a few strong nuns help Qiao's mother down. Qiao Wei didn't care about her mother's quarrel, but she didn't want her father's funeral to become a joke among others. Father Qiao has been in business all his life and has a good reputation among the neighbors. Is it possible that at this time, people will judge the private affairs of the Qiao family?

Naturally, Mother Qiao didn't want to leave. She hadn't cried enough, and the elders of the Qiao family hadn't nodded yet, so there was no way she could stop.

Qiao Wei glanced at Qiao Rong helplessly. Qiao Rong understood, so she had to secretly pretend to help her. The acupuncture in her sleeve pricked the acupuncture points, and Qiao's mother immediately passed out.

Qiao Wei quickly concluded the matter and said, "My mother is too sad. Let's help her to recuperate first." She then said to Qiao Rong, "My mother is old and can't stand the stimulation. It's better not to let her go to the hospital for the time being. Come to the mourning hall to avoid injury."

Qiao Rong nodded quickly and helped Mother Qiao down with a few old ladies.

Sun Quan bowed and apologized, "Ever since my father-in-law passed away, my mother-in-law has been grieving uncontrollably. If my words or actions have offended her, please forgive her and be more tolerant while she is still grieving."

The elders of the Qiao family naturally kept saying, "It's only human nature."

Now that Sun Quan has come out to smooth things over, everyone has tacitly exposed the farce just now, and no one mentioned it again.

Under the auspices of the elders of the Qiao family, the funeral ceremony continued. All powerful families who had good relations with the Qiao family also sent people to come, but the He family was the only one missing.

After Qiao's mother found out about this, she yelled in the room that the He family had no conscience and had taken away the Qiao family's blood. Now that Qiao's father is gone, he even refuses to bring his children to the house to worship.

Qiao Wei walked in from the door and heard Mother Qiao complaining about He's cruelty. She was very domineering when she was her daughter-in-law, and she was even more unreasonable now.

"They all forced a divorce. The original intention was to break off the relationship. Is it possible that just seeing Qiao Rui come back can he come back and reunite?"

Qiao Wei carried a portion of rice porridge and helped Qiao's mother get up to eat.

"I just saw Rui'er in despair for a while, and I wanted to put aside the relationship immediately and be alone." Mother Qiao sneered, "But I didn't expect that my son was lucky enough to come back safely now. In this way, we can only live together. My daughter-in-law is suffering the same pain, even if Hui'er comes back, she will never be able to enter our house again."
