Naturally, she couldn't continue playing 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 we serve the food in half an hour?"
Xiao Jinglin had just eaten some snacks outside before arriving, so she wasn't too hungry. She looked at Ren Yaoqi. Ren Yaoqi nodded, agreeing. Her mind had been racing all the way here, and she hadn't had much of an appetite.
This was the fourth time that Ren Yaoqi met Xiao Jinglin and Xiao Jingxi. Ren Yaoqi himself didn't understand why he had so many interactions with these two.
"Do you know about the Lei family?" Xiao Jingxi suddenly asked Ren Yaoqi.
It was indeed because of the Lei family's affairs, but she had never concealed her position. I don't know what Xiao Jingxi's intention was in talking to her about the Lei family at this time.
"Are you referring to the death of Mrs. Lei?" Ren Yaoqi replied conservatively.
Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi. The girl's expression was calm and gentle, which was inconsistent with her age. Her dark and clear eyes looked back at him without blinking.
"The Liu family is on the way. They set off before Madam Lei died suddenly." Xiao Jingxi did not look away. He smiled slightly when he said this, as if he was a little curious about her reaction.
Ren Yaoqi was stunned at first, then shocked. In just a moment, she understood all the information contained in this sentence.
"Did she commit suicide?"
Xiao Jingxi didn't say anything, but that was considered as his agreement.
Although he had guessed it before, Ren Yaoqi still couldn't help frowning.
"Old Master Lei's first wife was indeed the legitimate daughter of the Liu family, but she died of illness twenty years ago, and her only legitimate son also died of smallpox. This Madam Lei in Yunyang City was originally just a singer, and was raised as a concubine by Old Master Lei." Xiao Jingxi sighed.
Therefore, as long as the Liu family came forward to identify this Mrs. Lei as an imposter, the Lei family would be finished. Therefore, Mrs. Lei committed suicide before the Liu family arrived in Yunyang City.
etc……
"Did she really commit suicide?" It is possible that the Lei family killed Mrs. Lei in order to cover up the matter.
In fact, whether Mrs. Lei committed suicide or was abandoned by her relatives had nothing to do with Ren Yaoqi's plan. However, when he thought of the head of the Lei family he met, 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 gentleman, he is not a despicable person."
Ren Yaoqi felt a little better after hearing Xiao Jingxi's comments. Although Lei Ting's character would hardly influence her future decisions, after all, she was already past the age of impulsiveness. But there was a difference between helping a human and helping a beast.
