Mr. Li’s funeral will last for three days and three nights.
The next day
Chen Ning got up early in the morning and put on mourning clothes, and also changed Keke, Dingding and Xiaoxiao into black dresses. Xixi and Beibei were too young to wear them.
She led the three little ones downstairs.
The three little ones have been very sad since they learned that their great-grandfather had passed away. Although they are young, they are very sensible. They don’t fight or bother adults like they usually do. They are very quiet and cute.
"Hey, Chen Ning, you're down. I was just looking for you for something." Chen Ning brought the three little ones down and saw Liang Ruqi standing in the hall. She seemed to be waiting for her, and her face looked unhappy.
"Keke, Dingding, Xiaoxiao, go to the restaurant and have breakfast first. Mommy will be here soon." Shen Ning told the three little ones to go and have breakfast first.
She turned to look at Liang Ruqi and asked indifferently, "Aunt, what's the matter?"
"Ningning, why did you get all those gifts last night, but I didn't get any?" Liang Ruqi asked directly.
Shen Ning said: "Indeed, everyone has one. If you don't have one, just go find the person who assigned it."
She said and left.
"Ningning, I'm your elder after all. It's really cheap of me to ask the servants about such a small matter. You should ask them for me." Liang Ruqi smiled lewdly.
Shen Ning sneered in his heart.
"Aunt, Grandpa just passed away, and everyone is in grief right now. Don't you feel cheap by coming to me so early in the morning for such a small matter?"
Liang Ruqi suddenly felt a bitter taste on her face.
"Ningning, it's not that we have to have those things, but you distributed them to everyone except my family. Doesn't this make people think that you are deliberately not giving them to our family and looking down on us?" Liang Ruqi said patiently.
Shen Ning said indifferently: "Auntie, if you think so, then it's up to you. It's just a little food. No one would be so bored as to miss yours."
This clearly meant that it was completely boring for her to come to her early in the morning just to order some food.
But Liang Ruqi didn't think it was boring. After all, the food delivered to each room last night was the best and freshest of the season. Who wouldn't want to eat some? Now their room had spent a lot of money on connections because of Rao Yajing's matter. They were used to living a life of squandering money. Their son gambled from time to time, and they had no other extra income. Their daily expenses were becoming more and more tight.
Besides, Shen Ning's status in the Li family has risen sharply, and she is obviously the future mistress of the family.
If she was not given the things she allocated this time, it would mean that their branch was the least valued in the Li family and would be looked down upon by other branches.
Having been in a wealthy family for so many years, she knows all these tricks best, so this time, she must win.
But Shen Ning's answer was flawless and seemed to be correct.
"Ningning, as the head of the family, you must be fair and just..." Liang Ruqi had a smile on her face, but her words spoke with the authority of an elder.
But before she could finish, Shen Ning interrupted her: "I'm sorry, aunt, I'm not the head of the family now, please don't use this as an excuse. Those gifts are only for Zhen Ting personally. I have already distributed them to everyone. Now that grandpa's body is still warm, Zhen Ting and I are about to go and greet the guests. You are bothering me for such a small matter. I won't accept it."
Liang Ruqi's face darkened.
"Liang Ruqi, what are you doing here?" Just as she was about to explain, a cold voice came from behind. In an instant, Li Zhenting strode over. The air seemed to be blowing with a biting cold wind, and the oppressive feeling directly caused the surrounding air pressure to drop by several degrees.
"Zhenting, it's okay, I can go ask myself." Liang Ruqi shrank back in fear at Li Zhenting's sharp eyes, then immediately smiled and turned away.
