Scheme of the Official Descendant

There is a revised article at the end of the last chapter, children’s shoes who are interested can read it, it doesn’t matter if you don’t read it^^~

When Lei Ting turned his head, he felt a line of sight sizing him up, but he only saw a carriage passing by in front of him. The decoration on the carriage should be for women, so he frowned and looked away.

Liu Gui chased after him, stopped a step away from him, and said in a low voice: "Master, the members of the Liu family have already passed Hejian Mansion yesterday, and they will arrive tomorrow according to the footsteps, do you want to take a step ahead?" Send someone to pick it up?"

There was no expression on Lei Ting's cold face: "Did they send someone to let us pick him up?"

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

Lei Ting twitched the corner of his mouth, but no one could feel the slightest smile, Liu Gui couldn't help but lowered his head.

"Since the guests didn't say hello to us, even if you send someone there, no one will appreciate it." Lei Ting's voice was devoid of 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. Tai got there, but as Lei Ting's confidant, he knows it very well.

Under the instigation of someone, the Liu family quietly sent people to Yanbei, intending to expose the identity of Mrs. Tai in public. Mrs. Tai's ostensible identity is the direct daughter of the Liu family, a great family that fell into decline because of being involved in court struggles decades ago.

Originally thought that the members of the Liu family were already dead and fled, but unexpectedly there were still a few people who slipped through the net. The people who came this time are said to be sisters from the same clan as Mrs. Tai's generation.

Fortunately, the Lei family got the news in advance, and no one was caught off guard. It's just that Mrs. Tai wanted to keep the Lei family...

Mrs. Tai has a resolute and resolute personality, and by the time Lei Ting felt something was wrong and rushed to stop it, it was already too late.

"Where is Pan'er now?" Lei Ting suddenly asked, with some emotion in his voice.

Liu Gui hurriedly said: "Miss is in the second master's yard. When the second master is not in the yard, she will be taken care of by the nurse and a few maids in the second master's room. Please rest assured."

Thunder nodded.

Liu Gui took a look at Lei Ting and said cautiously: "Master, Miss Yuegui went to pick up Miss several times, she said she wanted to take care of her in your yard, but Miss refused."

Lei Ting frowned: "Yuegui? The big maid who served Afu before?"

"Yes, Lord. After the death of my wife, Miss Yuegui has stayed in the yard and is usually in charge of the accounts in the yard."

"Since she is an old person by my wife's side, I will give her a generous dowry after the filial piety period is over." Lei Ting said casually.

Lei Ting never asked about this kind of inner courtyard matter, and it was only because he was an old man by his deceased wife's side that he opened his mouth to mention such a sentence.

Liu Gui glanced at Lei Ting, understood what he meant, and bowed his head in response without saying anything.

Although Mrs. Tai had mentioned asking the uncle to take over Yuegui's house before when Mrs. Tai was there, but obviously the uncle didn't take it seriously. Now Mrs. Tai has to keep filial piety after the death of Mrs. Tai, so she doesn't think about such things.

Although Liu Gui felt that it would be better if there was a woman who could take charge in the uncle's yard at this time. Once Mrs. Tai left, there was no one in Lei's family who could be in charge of the inner courtyard. This was the reason why he knew what Yue Gui was thinking but didn't expose it.

"Pan'er likes to be in the second younger brother's yard, so let her be there, I don't have time to take care of her." Lei Ting stretched out his hand and pinched the space between 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 to Lei Ting's always serious father, Lei Pan'er has a closer relationship with her second uncle Lei Zhen who is willing to play with her.

Although Lei Zhen has a cheerful temperament, he is a very careful young man. After Mrs. Lei passed away, he immediately took his niece to take care of him personally, which is much more competent than Lei Ting's biological father.

When Ren Yaoqi's carriage arrived at Tan Ji, it happened to be Si time. Because of the sudden news from Ren Yaohua, she started a little late.

Hongying, the maid beside Xiao Jinglin, had already been waiting at the door after receiving the order. As soon as Ren Yaoqi's carriage arrived, she led the driver to drive the carriage from the side alley to the back door of the restaurant.

Although Yanbei's etiquette is not as strict as that of Kyoto, it is common for women in the inner house to enter restaurants and shops when they travel, but they will only go through the door specially prepared for women, so as to separate from the male customers in the vestibule.

But obviously, today's Tan Kee Restaurant does not accept foreign guests. When Ren Yaoqi was led by Hongying to the private room on the second floor, she didn't meet anyone along the way, not even the waiter.

This private room is very spacious, divided into a front hall and a back hall. When Ren Yaoqi entered, she thought that such a ostentatious ostentation was not like Xiao Jinglin's style.

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

Xiao Jingxi seemed to like playing chess very much, and every time he met him, he couldn't help seeing the chessboard.

As for why Ren Yaoqi thought it was Xiao Jingxi who liked to play chess instead of Xiao Jinglin. That's because Xiao Jinglin is sitting there with her brows tightly furrowed, and the gap between her brows can kill a fly.

And Xiao Jingxi, who was sitting opposite her, had a smile on his lips, and his temperament and appearance were obviously like that of a celestial being, but Ren Yaoqi could see a bit of the evil taste of a cat watching a mouse flopping under its paws.

Seeing Ren Yaoqi walking in, Xiao Jinglin's eyes lit up, and then she threw a chess piece in her hand on the chessboard with a blank expression, and then the whole game of chess was smashed in an instant. Unrecognizable.

Xiao Jingxi's forehead twitched, but he still nodded and greeted Ren Yaoqi with a perfect smile.

Ren Yaoqi suddenly felt that being a Dixian is actually quite tiring.

Ren Yaoqi acted as if she hadn't seen anything, went forward to greet the siblings, and was pulled by Xiao Jinglin to sit beside her.

"The chess game is not over yet." Xiao Jingxi slowly reached out to reset the chessboard, even though all the chess pieces were out of their original positions, Second Young Master Xiao was able to restore them exactly.

Xiao Jinglin frowned and remained silent for a moment, then without saying a word, she grabbed the pieces on the chessboard regardless of black and white and stuffed them into the chess jar at her hand, then handed the whole jar to Hongying with a blank expression: "Buried."

Xiao Jingxi: "..."

Ren Yaoqi turned her head silently, admiring the pair of beauty bottles by the wall.

In the end, the chess pieces were rescued, because that pair of chess pieces was a private collection brought by Master Xiao Er.

Naturally, she couldn't go on playing chess. Xiao Jinglin lowered her head to drink tea, and the tea bowl covered her slightly upturned mouth.

After a while of silence, Xiao Jingxi spoke first.

"It's still early, if you're not hungry, can we serve food in half an hour?"

Xiao Jinglin ate some snacks outside just before coming, and she was not too hungry, so she looked at Ren Yaoqi. Ren Yaoqi nodded without any objection. Her mind was spinning all the way, and she didn't have much appetite.

This is the fourth time that Ren Yaoqi has met Xiao Jinglin and Xiao Jingxi brothers and sisters together. Ren Yaoqi herself does not understand why she has so many interactions 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 she never concealed her position, so I don't know what Xiao Jingxi's intentions were in talking about the Lei family with her at this time.

"You mean Mrs. Lei's death?" Ren Yaoqi 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 bright eyes looked back at him without blinking.

"People from the Liu family are on their way, and they left before Mrs. Lei's sudden death." Xiao Jingxi didn't look away, and smiled slightly when he said this, as if curious about her reaction.

Ren Yaoqi was taken aback for a moment, then surprised, and she understood all the information contained in this sentence in just a moment.

"She committed suicide?"

Xiao Jingxi didn't say a word, but it was already a tacit consent.

Although there was speculation before, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help frowning.

"Old Mrs. Lei's first wife is indeed the first wife of the Liu family, but she died of illness 20 years ago, and the only son she gave birth also died of smallpox. The Mrs. Lei in Yunyang City was originally just a singer. Mrs. Lei raised it as an outer chamber." Xiao Jingxi sighed.

So as long as people from the Liu family came forward to identify Mrs. Lei as an impostor, then the Lei family would be over. So Mrs. Lei committed suicide before the Liu family arrived in Yunyang City.

etc……

"She really committed suicide?" In order to cover up this matter, it is also possible that the Lei family killed Mrs. Lei.

In fact, whether Mrs. Lei committed suicide or was regarded as an abandoned son by her relatives has nothing to do with Ren Yaoqi's plan, but when she remembered the head of the Lei family she met, Ren Yaoqi still couldn't help asking.

Xiao Jingxi raised his eyebrows slightly, but shook his head and said: "Although Lei Ting is not a gentleman, he is not a person of low character either."

Hearing Xiao Jingxi's evaluation, Ren Yaoqi felt better. Although Lei Ting's character can hardly affect her future decisions, after all, she has already passed the age of impulsiveness. But there is a difference between helping people and helping animals.
