Chapter 165: Take over

Hong Ying retired in response, and soon led a man with an average face and medium build. He was dressed similarly to the previous Dongsheng, and should be one of Xiao Jingxi's entourage.
After paying a salute to Tongde, he stood aside respectfully. If he didn't pay attention, most people would not keep his eyes on him, and his sense of existence was extremely low.
"Just ask him if you have any questions." Xiao Jingxi said to Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help being surprised. Could this person know everything else?
Xiao Jingxi seemed to know Ren Yaoqi's thoughts, but he smiled slightly and said nothing.
Seeing him like this, Ren Yaoqi asked, "When will Mrs. Lei's and the Liu family come to Yunyang City?"
Tongde bowed his head and said, "Miss Hui, I can be there before you time tomorrow."
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jingxi, Xiao Jingxi smiled and poured tea.
After thinking about it, Ren Yaoqi asked again: "When does the Lei family plan to let Mrs. Lei take the coffin?"
"Seven days."
In the funeral customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as long as conditions permit, the coffin is usually closed for seven days, and there are also those for ten days or even months, but this is a minority. Especially in summer, it is closed for seven days.
Ren Yaoqi nodded, then raised his head to Xiao Jingxi and said, "How did Mrs. Lei die?"
"Why do you ask?"
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while and said, "I guess Mrs. Lei's body should have no obvious wounds or signs of poisoning."
Xiao Jingxi was a little surprised: "How did you guess it?"
Ren Yaoqi tilted his head: "Isn't it obvious? The Liu family came to recognize people, and tomorrow will be here. Even if Mrs. Lei Tai has passed away, who knows if they would want to see the remains? Knowing that the visitor is unkind, The Lei family even dared to let Mrs. Lei Tai stay at home for seven days before burying her.
Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi and suddenly smiled, "It makes sense, and you guessed it well."
Xiao Jingxi sighed: "Even though Mrs. Lei Tai was born in Han Wei, she is indeed a character. I sent someone to check and concluded that she died of a broken heart. Whether it was due to illness or external force, her heart No clue is visible on the fracture surface of the vein."
Ren Yaoqi knew that some older people might have their heart veins broken and die due to accidents, but Mrs. Lei Tai's heart pulse might be broken because of external force. As for how to find out, Ren Yaoqi doesn't know, but this is not the point.
"I have nothing to ask." Ren Yaoqi nodded, thanking Tongde.
Although Xiao Jingxi was a little surprised, he didn't say anything, making Tongde retreat.
"If you are embarrassed, we can play chess to determine the outcome." Xiao Jingxi suggested, "How about I let you five chess pieces?"
Xiao Jingxi knew Ren Yaoqi's strength, if he let her a few chess pieces, Ren Yaoqi would not have no chance of winning.
Ren Yaoqi was thinking about it, and after hearing this, he shook his head: "Let's bet on the original one."
Calm as Xiao Jingxi can't help but become a little curious now: "How do you want to help Lei's family?"
Ren Yaoqi blinked, with some mischief: "If I ask Lei Ting to arrange the burial of Mrs. Lei tomorrow morning, how will he react?"
In fact, the folks also stopped the coffin for three days, but the family members would not do this.
Xiao Jingxi did not speak, but Xiao Jinglin, who had been watching the excitement on the side, frowned and said, "Do you want the Lei family to let Mrs. Lei into the soil before the Liu family arrives? This is to avoid the Liu family's troubles, but... the Han family will Is it accurate?"
Xiao Jingxi originally thought the same way, but seeing the sly smile on the corner of Ren Yaoqi's mouth, he couldn't help but moved in his heart and looked down for a moment to understand.
When he raised his eyes again, Ren Yaoqi's gaze couldn't help but feel a little complicated: "Good means."
Ren Yaoqi saw that he had only understood her plan in such a moment, and he couldn't help being a little frustrated. In case the enemy was like Xiao Jingxi with nine holes in his eyes, wouldn't she have to kill her with her neck?
"Let you say this, I am not sure."
Xiao Jingxi smiled and comforted: "The authorities are fascinated, and the bystanders are clear."
Xiao Jinglin glanced at Xiao Jingxi, then turned to Hong Ying and said, "He should take the medicine. Bring it up."
Xiao Jingxi: "..."
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jinglin and couldn't help but want to laugh. She knew that Xiao Jinglin might be awkward, but she didn't know if Xiao Jingxi reacted too quickly, or if they ignored her when they spoke.
At this time, Xiao Jinglin finally had the appearance of a girl who was not many years old. Even though Princess Xiao was awkward, his expressionless face was calm and calm.
Hong Ying immediately brought a bowl of medicine over. This speed made Ren Yaoqi feel that they had waited for this opportunity for a long time.
Xiao Jingxi silently drank the medicine in the bowl without knowing what Xiao Jinglin had.
Ren Yaoqi explained a few words to Xiao Jinglin while he was drinking the medicine.
After Hongying cleared the medicine bowl, the shopkeeper came up to ask if he could serve food.
They had lost a lot of time before talking, and it was just time to eat.
Xiao Jingxi nodded and said: "Pass it."
When it comes to eating, Xiao Jinglin immediately cheered up and said to Ren Yaoqi: "Last time I said I would come with you to eat roast duck, I don't want to be delayed by things. Tan Ji's roast duck is very famous, and it is still in Kyoto. There are their branches, but Xiao Jingxi said that the one in Kyoto is not as authentic as the one in Yunyang City."
Ren Yaoqi had never eaten Tanji roast duck in Yunyang City, but he had eaten it in the Kyoto family. Mr. Pei likes Tan Ji's duck neck very much. When having a drink at home on weekdays, he never forgets to ask her to order the young man to buy him a drink for him.
Thinking of these past events, Ren Yaoqi's expression was in a trance. Compared with the more than ten years in Yanbei, the life in Kyoto and the subsequent years with Mr. Pei were more impressive.
The dishes came quickly. It was Hong Ying and Xiao Jinglin's other maid going out to the table outside. They weren't from the restaurant. Ren Yaoqi believed that there must be someone staring at the kitchen.
The last few times when I had dinner with Xiao Jinglin, I didn't pay so much attention to it. Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but glance at Xiao Jingxi a little clearly, and couldn't help but sigh that the Yanbei Palace is really a strange place to raise a son more than raising a girl.
Xiao Jingxi was very keen, and Ren Yaoqi's sight was immediately caught by him, and he couldn't help but feel a little inexplicable.
Xiao Jinglin saw that the outside arrangement was almost complete, so she pulled Ren Yaoqi to get up, and then said blankly: "She just thinks that you are too delicate to get along with me and have no other meaning."
Ren Yaoqi turned his head.
Sheriff, are you really helping me explain?
Ren Yaoqi didn't know if she was dazzled, she saw Xiao Jingxi's blue veins jumping under her perfect smile.
Ren Yaoqi gave a light cough, and felt that she should say a few words to ease the atmosphere: "I want to say thank you to Young Master Xiao, because the addition of my wife made him bother." She admitted that she was the delicate one. , Not the ugly son.
However, Xiao Jinglin didn’t appreciate it, and she wanted to say something. Ren Yaoqi was afraid that she would list some of Xiao Jingxi’s
pretty
features. He hurriedly took her a few steps and interrupted with a smile: "I rarely stay outside. I used the food in the restaurant, and I said that I was with the princess twice when I came out."
Xiao Jinglin didn't continue when she arrived, but just followed her words: "There are not too many restaurants in Yunyang City, but only two or three. We will try them all in the future."
Xiao Jingxi walked out slowly, without the slightest embarrassment on his face.
Because they have males and females, and there are not all blood relatives, it is not easy to eat at one table. Therefore, the maids moved in three cases, Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin side by side, and Xiao Jingxi sat opposite. Similar to the arrangements at some banquets.
Presumably Xiao Jinglin didn't like eating like this, so she criticized Xiao Jingxi's arrangement.
However, Ren Yaoqi also felt that although there were no outsiders besides the three of them and a few maids, proper rules still had to be observed. She didn't feel bad about Xiao Jingxi's arrangement.
Tan Ji’s signature dish is roast duck, which is paired with roasted crunchy naan slices, which seems to make people move their index fingers. There are a few other hot dishes on her and Xiao Jinglin's short table.
The dishes on the table of Xiao Jingxi's table are extremely light, with no red, green, or red color, most of them are vegetarian.
Ren Yaoqi remembered that Xiao Jingxi was in poor health, and he must be taboo on weekdays.
This meal was not uncomfortable, even with Xiao Jingxi present.
