BXBX NOVEL Chapter 419 - 419 Funeral Ceremony, Another Dispute
He glared at Huang Yushu fiercely and flew into a rage. “We’re already divorced. You have nothing to do with the Li family. There’s no place for you in this family anymore. Don’t you think it’s embarrassing for you to still stay here shamelessly?”
Huang Yushu said calmly, “I’m not the one who’s embarrassing myself. It’s you. Li Tingfeng, who said that I miss this family? Who told you that I’m going back to your room to rest?”
She raised the key Qiao An had given her. “Don’t flatter yourself. Li Tingfeng, perhaps I flattered you too much in the past. So much so that you’re trash in my eyes now, but you still want to find your presence in front of me. Get lost. I don’t want to see you.”
Li Tingfeng was speechless from Huang Yushu’s vicious tongue.
The surrounding guests witnessed his embarrassment and revealed mocking smiles.
When the mistress saw that Li Tingfeng was humiliated by Huang Yushu, she pointed at Huang Yushu angrily and scolded, “Yo, in the past, when you were strong and healthy, you served my Tingfeng well. Now that you don’t have the ability to serve him anymore, you must be feeling unbalanced. You just want to show off your tongue.”
Li Tingfeng liked her way of praising him. He looked at her with love.
Huang Yushu ignored her and said to Ze’en, “There’s no need to pay attention to a mad dog barking. Let’s go.”
Ze’en wheeled her mother away.
Her attitude made the aggressive mistress and Li Tingfeng feel very depressed.
After the banquet, the guests dispersed. Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An also returned to the Heavenly Imperial Garden.
After a noisy day, the Li family’s villa finally welcomed a rare silence.
The sons and wives of the Li family sat around and discussed the matter of Madam’s funeral the next day.
Huang Yushu consciously pushed the wheelchair away, but First Madam stopped her and said, “Yushu, stay. Let’s plan for Madam.”
Huang Yushu glanced at the new madam and said cautiously, “I think I’d better not.”
Second Madam quickly walked forward and pulled her back. “Yushu, I don’t care if you divorced Third Brother. In my heart, you’ve lived with us for decades. No one can replace this relationship. Now that Madam has passed away, I still hope that you can send her off as Third Madam. As for her…”
The Second Madam stared at the new Madam indifferently and said, “Madam didn’t acknowledge her identity even until her death.”
Huang Yushu hesitated. She was touched by Madam’s approval of her.
At this moment, First Madam stood up and said something emotional. “Yushu, you and we are both the first wife. We accompany the men when they started a business. We gave them children, and take care of the housework. When we are old and lose our charm, the men will have second thoughts. They will always pursue young and beautiful girls. They easily erased our credit for accompanying them for decades.”
At this point, the First Madam glanced at Li Tingye bitterly. “Perhaps in this family, the new will always laugh at the old, but as the old, we should stick together. When Madam was alive, she protected you. Even if you don’t give Li Tingfeng respect, you should remember Madam’s kindness.”
Huang Yushu nodded. “You’re right, Big Sister. Then I’ll respect your arrangements.”
Because First Madam and Second Madam insisted that Huang Yushu attend Madam’s funeral as Third Madam, the new Madam was very indignant. She threatened Li Tingfeng with righteous indignation, “There’s only one Madam in the third branch. Tingfeng, choose her or me. Make your own decision.”
Li Tingfeng had originally firmly supported this new wife, but First Madam’s heartfelt words validated decades of companionship and poked at the softest part of Li Tingfeng’s humanity.
He comforted the new madam kindly. “Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law have a point. Madam has always approved of Huang Yushu. In that case, we’ll let Huang Yushu send Madam off.”
The mistress originally thought that Li Tingfeng was on her side and would persuade her sisters-in-law to accept her. Unexpectedly, Li Tingfeng became the fence-sitter. She immediately refused to give up. “Li Tingfeng, is there something wrong with your brain? You divorced her, so you and I are the legal couple. If you let her participate in the funeral with you, those who don’t know might think that your relationship has been rekindled!”
Li Tingfeng fell into hesitation again.
“Madam makes sense. Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, your arrangements are inappropriate.”
First Madam had a soft personality and did not speak.
The Second Madam insisted, “Death is the most important thing. We should respect Madam’s intentions. Let’s make this decision.”
“No!” the mistress roared.
“The minority obeys the majority in this matter. Sister-in-law and I have the same view, so you have to listen to us,” the Second Madam said.
The woman said, “If we want to vote, the entire family should vote together. Big Brother, Second Brother, do you think I, the legal wife, should participate in the funeral?”
Li Tingye and Li Tinglei said, “We think sister-in-law makes sense. After all, she’s Tingfeng’s legal wife. She should accompany Li Tingfeng to the funeral.”
Just like that, they discussed the entire night but did not come to a unanimous conclusion.
Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran arrived at the Li family early in the morning, but they realized that the relationship among the families was especially tense.
Qiao An grabbed Ze’en and asked, “What happened to them? Big Brother and Sister-in-law didn’t say anything, and neither did Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law. What exactly is going on?”
Ze’en explained softly, “Last night, the family quarreled happily. Aunt and Second Aunt insisted that my mother attend Madam’s funeral as her third daughter-in-law, saying that they are fulfilling Madam’s last wish. However, Uncle and Second Uncle thought that the legal wife should attend the funeral. They quarreled for the entire night without coming to a conclusion.”
Qiao An shook her head and smiled bitterly. “That’s all? They have nothing better to do, right?”
Ze’en had listened all night and already felt that this was a worldwide puzzle. When Qiao An said that, Ze’en sighed. “Could it be that you have a way to solve it?”
Qiao An said, “Watch me.”
Qiao An entered the house and looked at everyone sitting in a daze. Qiao An smiled and said, “Brothers and Aunts, the funeral is about to begin. Why are you still sitting there? Hurry up and prepare.”
When First Madam and Second Madam saw Qiao An, they pulled her aside and said, “Qiao An, the four daughters-in-law of the Li family are attending the funeral. It can only be us and Yushu. Otherwise, Madam won’t be happy. There’s no need for us to attend the funeral in this case.”
