When Thunder turned his head, he felt a gaze looking at him, but he only saw a carriage passing in front of him, and seeing that the decoration on the carriage should be for the female dependent, he frowned and looked away.

Liu Gui chased after him, stopped a step away from him, and whispered: "Master, the people of the Liu family have already passed through Hejian Mansion yesterday, and they will arrive tomorrow according to the footsteps, do you want to send someone to pick it up first?" ”

There was no expression on Thunder's cold face: "Did they send someone to pick us up?" ”

Liu Gui glanced at his master and said carefully: "No." ”

Lei Ting tugged at the corners of his mouth, but he didn't feel the slightest smile, and Liu Gui couldn't help but lower his head.

"Since the guests didn't greet us, no one would appreciate you even if you sent someone." The voice of the thunder did not carry any emotion.

"Yes." Liu Gui didn't dare to say anything more, and even regretted what he said just now.

Others don't know how Mrs. Lu Daotai went, but he, as a confidant of Thunder, is very clear.

The Liu family was instructed to quietly send someone to Yanbei, wanting to expose Mrs. Tai's identity in public. Mrs. Tai's identity on the face is the daughter of the Liu family, a great family that was angered by the emperor and fell decades ago because she was involved in a palace struggle.

originally thought that the people of the Liu family had already died and fled, but they didn't want to have a few fish that slipped through the net. The people who came this time are said to be sisters of the same clan as Mrs. Tai's generation.

Fortunately, the Lei family got the news in advance and did not catch people off guard, but Mrs. Tai ...... in order to protect the Lei family

Mrs. Tai has a resolute and resolute temperament, and it was too late for Thunder to feel that something was wrong and rush to stop it.

"Where is Pan'er now?" Thunder suddenly asked, his voice finally carrying some emotion.

Liu Gui hurriedly said: "The young lady is in the courtyard of the second master, and when the second master is not in the yard, she will be taken care of by the nurse and a few big maids in the second master's house. Please rest assured. ”

Thunder nodded.

Liu Gui glanced at Lei Ting and said carefully: "Master, Miss Laurel went to pick up Miss several times, saying that she wanted to take care of your yard, but Miss refused." ”

Thunder frowned: "Laurel? The big girl who served Afu before? ”

"Yes, sir. After the death of his wife, Lady Laurel stayed in the courtyard and was in charge of the courtyard's accounts on weekdays. ”

"Since it is an old person next to my wife, I will give her a rich dowry after the filial piety period." Thunder said casually.

This kind of inner courtyard matter Thunder never asked, but it was only because it was the old man next to his deceased wife that he opened his mouth to mention such a sentence.

Liu Gui glanced at Lei Ting and understood what he meant. Nothing was said and bowed in response.

Although Mrs. Tai had mentioned that she should let the uncle take the laurel into the house when she was there, it was obvious that the uncle did not take it to heart, and now that Mrs. Tai has died, the master has to keep filial piety, so he will not consider this kind of thing.

Although Liu Gui felt that it would be better if there was a woman in the uncle's yard who could take charge at this time. As soon as Mrs. Tai left, the Lei family didn't even have anyone who could be in charge of the inner courtyard, which was also the reason why he knew Lu Dao Yuegui's mind but didn't break it.

"Pan'er likes to let her be there in the second brother's yard, and I don't have the time to take care of her." Thunder reached out and pinched his eyebrows.

Liu Gui responded in a low voice again.

Lei Ting only has one daughter, Lei Pan'er, but the father and daughter are not very close on weekdays. The head of the Lei family has too many things to do every day. And even if he is not busy, taking care of his daughter is not something he can do.

So compared with Lei Ting, who is always a serious father, Lei Paner is closer to her second uncle Lei Zhen, who is willing to play with her.

And although Lei Zhen has a cheerful temperament, he is a very careful young man, after Mrs. Lei died. He took his niece over to take care of him as soon as possible, and he was much more competent than Thunder, the biological father.

When Ren Yao's carriage arrived at Tan Ji, it was just the right time. Because she suddenly received news from Ren Yaohua, she set off a little late.

Xiao Jinglin's maid Hongying was ordered to wait at the door for a long time. As soon as Ren Yao's carriage arrived. She led the coachman to drive the carriage down the side alley into the back door of the restaurant.

Although the etiquette in Yanbei is not as strict as in Kyoto, it is common for women in the house to enter restaurants and shops when they go out, but they will only go through the door specially prepared for women. So that it is separated from the male guests in the vestibule.

However, it is clear that today's Tan Kee Restaurant does not accept outsiders. When Ren Yaoqi was led by Hongying to the private room on the second floor, he didn't meet half a figure along the way, not even a cousin.

This private room is very spacious, divided into a front hall and a back hall, and when Ren Yaoqi entered, he thought that such a flamboyant pomp and circumstance did not look like Xiao Jinglin's style.

Sure enough, when he walked to the back hall inside, Ren Yaoqi saw Xiao Jinglin and Xiao Jingxi, brother and sister, sitting at the Eight Immortals table in the middle of the room playing chess.

Xiao Jingxi seems to like playing chess very much, and every time he meets him, he inevitably sees the chessboard.

As for why Ren Yaoqi thinks that Xiao Jingxi likes to play chess instead of Xiao Jinglin. That's because Xiao Jinglin is sitting there now, her brows are tightly locked, and her eyebrows can almost kill flies.

And Xiao Jingxi, who was sitting opposite her, had a smile on the corner of his mouth, obviously with a fairy-like temperament and appearance, but Ren Yaoqi saw a little bit of the evil taste of a cat watching a mouse flutter under its paws.

Seeing Ren Yaoqi walk in, Xiao Jinglin's eyes lit up, and then she threw a chess piece in her hand onto the chessboard with an expressionless face and seemed to be careless, and then the neat game of chess, which was more black and white, was smashed beyond recognition in an instant.

The corners of Xiao Jingxi's forehead jumped, but he still nodded to Ren Yaochi with a perfect smile and said hello.

Ren Yaochi suddenly felt that it was actually quite tiring to be an immortal.

Ren Yaoqi stepped forward to greet the brother and sister as if he hadn't seen anything, and then was pulled by Xiao Jinglin to sit down beside him.

"The chess game isn't over yet." Xiao Jingxi slowly reached out to reset the chessboard, even though all the chess pieces were out of place, Second Young Master Xiao was able to restore them exactly as they were.

Xiao Jinglin frowned and was silent for a moment, then without saying a word, she grabbed the chess pieces on the chessboard in black and white and stuffed them into the chess jar in her hand, and then handed the whole jar to Hongying with an expressionless face: "Bury it." ”

Xiao Jingxi: "......"

Ren Yaoqi silently turned his head and admired the pair of beauty bottles by the wall.

In the end, the chess pieces were still saved, because that set of chess pieces was a private collection brought by Second Young Master Xiao.

Naturally, she couldn't play chess, Xiao Jinglin lowered her head to drink tea, and the tea bowl covered the corners of her slightly raised mouth.

After a period of silence, Xiao Jingxi spoke first.

"It's still early, if you're not hungry, why don't you serve the food in half an hour?"

Xiao Jinglin had eaten some snacks outside just before she came, and she was not too hungry, so she looked at Ren Yaoqi. Ren Yaochi nodded, no objection. Her mind was constantly spinning along the way, and she didn't have much appetite.

This is the fourth time that Ren Yaochi has met with Xiao Jinglin and Xiao Jingxi, and Ren Yaochi himself doesn't understand why he has so much intersection with these two.

"Do you know about the Lei family?" Xiao Jingxi suddenly asked Ren Yaoqi.

Sure enough, it was because of the Lei family's affairs, but her position was never hidden, and I don't know what Xiao Jingxi's intention was to talk to her about the Lei family at this time.

"You mean Mrs. Lei's death?" Ren Yaochi replied conservatively.

Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi, the girl's expression was calm and gentle that did not match her age, and her dark and translucent eyes looked back at him without flashing.

"The people of the Liu family are on their way, and they set off before Mrs. Lei died violently." Xiao Jingxi didn't look away, and smiled slightly when he said this, as if he was a little curious about her reaction.

Ren Yaoqi was stunned at first, then startled, and it only took a moment for her to understand all the information contained in this sentence.

"She killed herself?"

Xiao Jingxi didn't speak, but it was already a tacit acquiescence.

Although there had been speculations before, Ren Yaochi couldn't help frowning.

"Old Lady Lei's wife is indeed the daughter of the Liu family, but she died of illness twenty years ago, and the only concubine she produced also died of smallpox. This Mrs. Lei in Yunyang City was originally just a singer, and she was raised by Mrs. Lei as an outer room. Xiao Jingxi sighed.

So as long as the people of the Liu family come forward to identify this Mrs. Lei as an impostor, then the Lei family will be finished. Therefore, Old Lady Lei committed suicide before the Liu family arrived in Yunyang City.

Wait a minute......

"Did she really kill herself?" In order to cover up this matter, it is also possible for the Lei family to kill Mrs. Lei.

In fact, whether Mrs. Lei committed suicide or was treated as an abandoned son by her relatives has nothing to do with Ren Yaoqi's plans, but when she remembered the head of the Lei family she saw when she remembered it, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Jingxi raised his eyebrows slightly, but shook his head and said: "Although Lei Ting is not a decent man, he is not a despicable person. ”

Hearing Xiao Jingxi's evaluation, Ren Yaoqi felt better. Although it is difficult for Thunder's character to influence her future decisions, after all, she has long passed the age of being self-willed. But there is a difference between helping people and helping animals.
