Chapter 434 The Playboy's Divorced Woman 30
The Gu family mansion was decorated with white plaques.
Overnight, the entire Gu residence was covered in white, and relatives and friends immediately came to visit.
The Xie family arrived first, followed by an eunuch sent from the palace.
At this point, the First Madam had no mind to entertain these people, so her personal nanny and palace maids sent from the palace took over.
With their help, the Gu family is now able to function normally.
Watching Xie Qingyu breathe her last in front of her, the First Madam was overwhelmed by a feeling of helplessness.
Besides, Gu Shenbai is still lying in bed. If he were in the same situation as Xie Qingyu...
The First Madam couldn't help but think the worst.
However, other guests can be received by the nanny, but the Madam must personally meet with any guests from the Xie family.
The people who came from the Xie family were Xie Qingyu's stepmother and her younger brother. The Xie family sent them over immediately after receiving news of Xie Qingyu's death.
"Madam Xie..." The First Madam looked at her, speechless. Although she knew that this was not Xie Qingyu's biological mother, at this moment, facing Xie Qingyu's passing, the hearts of two mothers were the same.
Madam Xie was just as distressed at that moment.
They still remembered Xie Qingyu's return to the Xie family a while ago. At that time, she breathed a sigh of relief. Xie Qingyu and Gu Shenbai seemed to have a good relationship, so she didn't have to worry about Xie Qingyu's reputation affecting her daughter.
Xie Qingyu's reputation is now good, even a little too good.
Everyone knows that Xie Qingyu was injured and fell off the cliff while saving Gu Shenbai. She was even stabbed by the kidnappers before falling, so her injuries were more serious than Gu Shenbai's.
But no one expected that she would die so tragically.
"Poor child~" Madam Xie leaned over the coffin to look at Xie Qingyu inside.
Behind her, Xie Qingyu's two half-brothers also came forward to see.
They all knew that Xie Qingyu was very beautiful.
She had regular features and a small face that didn't look out of place at all. She was raised by the old lady, and every move she made exuded the elegance of a lady from a prominent family. Even when she wasn't speaking, there was a hint of a smile on her lips.
So when she looks at others, she always seems very approachable.
But now she lies lifeless in the coffin, her face devoid of any color.
It looked much like when she was lying in the hospital bed. Anyone who didn't know the situation would think she was just unconscious from an injury, and no one would have guessed that she had already passed away.
"Our family has wronged Qingyu, such a good child..." The First Madam sobbed uncontrollably.
"It's not your fault. They are husband and wife, sharing joys and sorrows. Now that Shen Bai is still unconscious, no one wants to see this situation," Madam Xie comforted her.
Even as they spoke, their faces were already streaked with tears.
Everyone else was crying too.
Only after the Xie family members have inspected the coffin can Xie Qingyu's coffin be closed. Even so, the body will need to remain in the coffin for at least three days.
The First Madam cried until she fainted.
Lord Gu was busy with matters in the front hall, while some relatives came to help with the arrangements in the back.
Funerals are attended uninvited.
Even without prior notice, those who knew about it came to help early on.
The next day, an imperial decree arrived, posthumously conferring honors upon Xie Qingyu.
She earned her title of Lady of the Imperial Decree by trading her life.
The imperial decree represented the emperor's attitude, and Xie Qingyu suddenly became a representative of women. Even her entanglement with Gu Shenbai became a rare and beautiful story.
