Chapter 038 Is it better for me, or is it better for the Taoist priest?
Ji Lingxiao and Jiang Yao stepped into the Jiang family's yard together.
Jiang Yao's eyes fell on Zhao's room and saw that the door was tightly closed. At this time, Zhao must be very panicked.
"I won't chop wood today." Ji Lingxiao said.
"Your precious body is not suitable for rough work. Please take a rest."
"I kind of want to bask in the sun..."
"Just wait, I'll bring you a chair."
"It's a little hard to lean on."
"Taoist Priest, please put on the cushion and make yourself comfortable."
"I'm thirsty."
"I'll get you some water..."
No matter what Ji Lingxiao asked, Jiang Yao would satisfy him.
Ji Lingxiao felt so good when he saw the woman who always ordered him around in the past, so obedient.
Even Jiang Xiaohei noticed this change.
Jiang Xiaohei held the book and approached Ji Lingxiao with his short legs, and asked curiously: "Taoist Priest, why is my cousin so nice to you?"
"Of course I rely on my true ability." Ji Lingxiao said proudly, glancing in one direction, "Unlike some people, who rely on their appearance."
Someone sitting in the room suddenly turned dark.
Naturally, he saw Jiang Yao saddle Ji Lingxiao.
Seeing her smile at Ji Lingxiao with connivance, Ji Huai's ambition felt sour and uncomfortable.
It was obvious that she had only treated herself like this before.
He pursed his lips and said nothing, as if there was a wild beast in his heart that wanted to roar out.
He had never felt this way before.
Ji Huaiye frowned and pressed the beast down.
However, during lunch, the wild beast in Ji Huai's ambition reared its head again.
"Everything I cook is my favorite dish..." Ji Lingxiao's handsome, almost coquettish face had a smile on it, "This braised pork is so delicious."
"Ling Xiao, eat more."
Jiang Yao immediately brought the braised pork in front of Ji Lingxiao.
The wine in Ji Lingxiao's bowl was gone, and Jiang Yao immediately filled it up.
Jiang Yao's eyes have been following Ji Lingxiao, responding to every request.
Ji Huaiye held the chopsticks with such force that the veins on the back of his hands popped out.
In the past, her eyes followed her and she always took care of her...
Ji Huaiye put down his chopsticks, and Jiang Yao's eyes finally fell on him.
"Aye, are you full so quickly?" Jiang Yao said in surprise.
Her temper comes and goes quickly, and she has forgotten that she was having a cold war with Ji Huaiye.
Ji Huaiye took a deep breath.
He clearly didn't eat a bite, but she didn't notice?
My chest feels tighter!
Ji Huaiye pursed his lips and ignored Jiang Yao, turned around and left.
Jiang Yao didn't pay much attention and continued to 'serve' Ji Lingxiao.
Ji Huaiye was sulking alone in the room.
When there was a knock on the door, Ji Huaiye couldn't help but look up.
And when he saw it was Tianbao, disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"Uncle Aye~" The little guy stepped across the threshold, put the small bench next to him, and sat down on the small bench.
"Are you not full?" The little guy tilted his head and looked at him, blinking his big eyes with worry in his beautiful big eyes.
Ji Huaiye thought that this little girl had noticed it, but Jiang Yao only thought that he ate quickly.
I really get angrier the more I think about it.
"Here you go~" The little guy took out two pieces of candy from his arms and handed them to Ji Huaiye.
Ji Huaiye took the candy: "Thank you."
My daughter is so good, but my mother...
I can't think about it, I get a headache!
"Uncle Aye, are you unhappy?" Tianbao continued to ask.
Ji Huaiye always had a paralyzed face, and it seemed to outsiders that he was always unhappy.
However, Tianbao is very sensitive to sensing emotions. She felt that Uncle Ano seemed to be shrouded in black mist at this time and was in a bad mood.
Under the little girl's clear eyes, Ji Huaiye couldn't help but ask, "Who's better, me or the Taoist priest?"
The little girl didn't hesitate at all: "Hello, Uncle Aye~"
Ji Huaiye felt inexplicably better.
Obviously he is better, why is Jiang Yao better to that Taoist priest?
He had been thinking about this matter in his mind and didn't want to read the book.
In the evening, Jiang Yao passed by the door and was pulled into the room by an arm.
Just as Jiang Yao came to her senses, the next moment, the door behind her was also closed by a hand.
Jiang Yao was trapped in the arms, raised her head, and faced the man's handsome and sharp face.
"Aye?" Jiang Yao looked at him doubtfully, "What's wrong?"
"Why are you so nice to that Taoist priest?" The man stared at her with dark eyes, questioning in his voice.
He ignored her, originally thinking he would forgive her if she just said a nice word.
As a result, she ignored him and kept pestering the Taoist priest. How could such a woman exist?!
Ji Huaiye was so filled with hatred that he had no choice but to do anything.
Jiang Yao felt that Ji Huaiye was angry for no reason, so she had to explain honestly:
"Oh, isn't Wang Laizi from the next village dead? I suspect that he was poisoned. Ling Xiao said that he could summon the souls and find out who harmed him..."
All in all, she just wanted something from Ji Lingxiao.
I see.
Ji Huaiye's face looks much better.
"You're just pretending to be a ghost." Ji Huaiye sneered and said firmly, "I can find out the real culprit."
Jiang Yao didn't think that Ji Huaiye was bragging. In the novel, Ji Huaiye was an official who rose to the rank of chief assistant. He was versatile in both civil and military affairs, and could also solve cases. He had solved several strange cases, and he was almost a perfect character.
"Take me to Wang Laizi's house to have a look." Ji Huaiye said.
"Your legs are just right, what if you walk too far and the wound splits?" Jiang Yao was worried about his injury.
"It's okay, walk slower." Ji Huaiye said.
He was resolute, so Jiang Yao took him there.
The two came to Wang Zizi's house.
Wang Laizi's door is closed, and the key is with the village chief.
"Wait for me, I'll go to the village chief to get the key."
After Jiang Yao got the key, Ji Huaiye was already checking at the door.
Jiang Yao opened the door and saw Wang Laizi's body lying on the ground with a white cloth covering his head.
Ji Huaiye walked over. His leg was injured and he couldn't bend down easily. Jiang Yao quickly went to help him.
With Jiang Yao's help, Ji Huaiye squatted down, lifted up the white cloth, and looked at the body carefully.
"Judging from the spots on the body and the stiffness of the body, Wang Laizi died last night. There were traces of joy on his body, and he had good relationships with others during his lifetime."
Ji Huaiye's eyes fell on the fragments of the bowl on the ground, and then looked at the teapot. He could imagine that Wang Laizi fell down after drinking the tea, so...
"The poison is in the tea."
"Aye, you are so awesome."
Jiang Yao praised that he was worthy of being the future chief assistant. He was able to determine so much information in a short period of time.
Ji Huaiye's mood improved inexplicably.
Ji Huaiye walked to the door, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Let everyone in the village except children and old people come here, and we will know who the murderer is."
Jiang Yao went to call the village chief, and then asked him to call all the villagers to the door of Wang Laizi's house, saying that the murderer had been found.
The villagers were a little happy. It would be great if they found the murderer. Let Wang Laizi rest in peace quickly to save them from being worried.
Zhao was naturally notified.
Her face turned pale. Has the murderer been found?
"Xiuxiu, should we go to the county? Take a small road?" Zhao said, her heart was too panicked.
If I had known earlier, I would not have killed Wang Laizi.
It's all Jiang Yao's fault, please mind your own business!
Jiang Xiu looked at Mrs. Zhao: "Mom, if we don't go now, won't the people in the village doubt us? By then, we will have no reason to explain."
"Yes, I didn't do it, what should I be afraid of?" Zhao said, as if to comfort herself, she forced a smile.
The mother and daughter walked towards Wang Zizi's house.
