Xiao Jingxi suggested: "How about I give you five chess pieces?"
Xiao Jingxi knew Ren Yaoqi's strength. If he gave her a few chess pieces, Ren Yaoqi would have a chance of winning.
Ren Yaoqi was thinking about something, but when he heard this, he came back to his senses and shook his head: "Let's bet on the original one."
Even Xiao Jingxi, who was calm, couldn't help but become curious: "How do you want to help the Lei family?"
Ren Yaoqi blinked, and said mischievously, "If I ask Lei Ting to arrange for Madam Lei's burial tomorrow morning, how will he react?"
In fact, there are also folk customs of keeping coffins for three days, but wealthy families would not do that.
Xiao Jingxi remained silent, but Xiao Jinglin, who had been watching the excitement from the side, frowned and said, "You want the Lei family to bury Madam Lei before the Liu family arrives? This would indeed temporarily avoid the trouble with the Liu family, but... would the Han family allow it?"
Xiao Jingxi originally thought so, but when he saw the sly smile on Ren Yaoqi's lips, he couldn't help but feel something in his heart. He lowered his eyes for a moment and thought carefully, and he understood it after a while.
When he looked up again, he couldn't help but look at Ren Yaoqi with a complicated look: "It's really a good trick."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help feeling frustrated when she saw that he figured out her plan in just a moment. What if the enemy was as cunning as Xiao Jingxi? Wouldn't she have no choice but to wait for death?
"Now that you mention it, I'm a little uncertain." Ren Yaoqi said half-truthfully.
Xiao Jingxi smiled and comforted him, "Those involved are often confused, but those who are watching clearly can see clearly."
Xiao Jinglin glanced at Xiao Jingxi, then turned to Hongying and said, "It's time for him to take his medicine. Bring it up."
Xiao Jingxi: "..."
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jinglin and couldn't help laughing. She knew Xiao Jinglin might be upset, but she didn't know whether she was angry that Xiao Jingxi was more sensitive than her, or that they were only concerned with their own conversations and ignored her.
However, at this time, Xiao Jinglin finally looked like a girl who was not much younger than her. Even when Princess Xiao was upset, she always had a calm and composed expression.
Hongying immediately brought over a bowl of medicine. This speed made Ren Yaoqi feel that they had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
Xiao Jingxi stared at the medicine bowl silently for a moment, then calmly drank the medicine in the bowl without arguing with Xiao Jinglin.
While he was taking the medicine, Ren Yaoqi explained a few things to Xiao Jinglin.
After Hongying put the medicine bowl away, she came back and said that the shopkeeper had just come up and asked if it was okay to serve the dishes.
They had wasted quite a bit of time talking before, and now it was time for dinner.
Xiao Jingxi nodded and ordered: "Send it."
As soon as the topic of food came up, Xiao Jinglin immediately perked up and said to Ren Yaoqi, "I said last time that I would go eat roast duck with you, and I don't want to be delayed by something. Tan Ji's roast duck is very famous, and they have a branch in Kyoto. However, Xiao Jingxi said that the one in Kyoto is not as authentic as the one in Yunyang City."
Ren Yaoqi had never tried the Tanji roast duck in Yunyang City, but she had tried the one in Kyoto. Mr. Pei loved Tanji's duck neck, and when he had a drink at home, he would always ask her to have the servant buy him a portion as a side dish.
Thinking of these past events, Ren Yaoqi's expression was a little dazed. Compared to the more than ten years in Yanbei, life in Kyoto and the years he followed Mr. Pei in his exile were more memorable.
