Chapter 2903 Raising a Bunch of White-Eyed Wolves
Yun Dai was startled, threw away the book and ran out.
Qing Yi quickly followed up with the cloak and put it on her.
"What did you say?"
"Concubine Qi passed away..." The little eunuch knelt in the snow and cried.
Yun Dai felt a little confused for a moment.
She calmed down, went back to her house, changed into plain clothes, and rushed to Ci'an Palace.
As soon as I entered the door, I could hear crying.
There were palace maids and eunuchs beside Qi Xiao.
But the loudest one was Jin Shan.
Yun Dai stood at the door for a while, walked in, and saw Qi Xiao lying quietly on the bed, and Jin Shan kneeling and sitting beside the bed, casually wearing a coat and hair, crying with tears all over her face.
It looked like he was called out from under the covers.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Jin Shan looked up and saw Yun Dai's hair and clothes were neatly dressed. She knew that she had not slept all night, and she couldn't help but feel even more sad.
Yun Dai approached the bed and looked down at Qi Xiao.
She looked peaceful.
The palace maid knelt on the ground and cried, "The concubine left in her sleep and did not suffer at all. This is also the concubine's blessing."
After falling asleep last night, she never woke up.
Yun Dai sat beside the bed and smoothed the broken hair on her cheek.
There are obvious fine lines at the end of Qi Xiao's eyes, and her eye sockets are deep.
This is why she stays up late all year long tailoring clothes.
A person who is a Shangyi usually directs and manages, letting the maids under her do things, but she insists on doing everything herself, and people in their thirties feel like they are in their forties or fifties.
Jin Shan cried hard, but Yun Dai couldn't cry.
At this time, Caicai, Zhu Xiurong and other concubines rushed over. Seeing that Yun Dai looked bad, they hurriedly supported her and asked her to go back and rest.
Yun Dai said: "You will handle Qi Xiao's posthumous affairs in accordance with the regulations. She misses her family the most in her life. Send her a message home and bring her family members over to see her."
"Don't worry, mother, I will handle it properly."
Caicai held Yun Dai's hand and said, "I'll take you back first."
Yun Dai shook her head and walked out by herself.
After dawn, Caicai went over to pay his respects and told the situation about Ci'an Palace. The Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Rites and the Sixth Bureau and the Twenty-Fourth Department were cooperating to handle it. Everything had rules and procedures.
Caicai said: "My son ordered people to collect all the belongings of Concubine Qi. Some of them were kept for burial. There are also some cash and banknotes. I don't know what to do with them. Do you want to send them to her mother's family?"
Yun Dai said: "All the money Qi Xiao has saved in her life has been used to support her family. Let her take the rest with her. Just leave some clothes and other things to remember her relatives."
Yun Dai doesn't like Qi Xiao's family.
The whole family has relied on Qi Xiao's subsidies to survive these years.
Qi Xiao has that temper again and is willing to be squeezed.
Caicai should go down and handle it himself.
Unexpectedly, on the day of the funeral, no one from Qi Xiao's mother's family came.
Qi Xiao's parents have passed away, but she still has her brother, sister-in-law, nieces and nephews.
It's not close to Kyoto, but it's only a few days' drive away, but no one has come.
Jin Shan was so angry that she wanted to cry: "This idiot has raised a bunch of white-eyed wolves all these years, a shameless family!"
Yun Dai called Wei Jintai, "Go and check out Concubine Qi's natal family, who is there now, and what kind of livelihood does the family have?"
Wei Jintai quickly found out: "There is also a brother, sister-in-law, nephew and niece. The brother-in-law and sister-in-law are idle, and the nephew works as an errand in the local county government and is the county magistrate. I heard that he also bought it with money."
Jin Shan said: "Whose money is it? It's not Qi Xiao's! A family of vampires lay on Qi Xiao's body and drank blood, counting on her money to live. Now that she's gone, they won't even take a look! If Qi Xiao knows that the brother-in-law and family she supports are such people, and she doesn’t know how to feel sad!"
