Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 238 Dressed Strictly

She had only been to the city once in recent days, and he was afraid that she would be bored.

It was a cloudy but sunny day. The sun was occasionally blocked by clouds, so it wasn't too sunny.

Si He was dressed very warmly, not revealing a single ounce of skin, and she wore a veil on her head. She spent most of her time in the carriage, and when she got out, Ning Ji would hold an umbrella for her to block out the sunlight, keeping her completely covered.

Now, Si He finally understood why the old man Jiang always wore a veil that covered his entire body tightly. It was not only because his face was different, but also his body. She now also felt that helplessness. Fortunately, she did not become that ugly.

Becoming a 'living dead', one's body is different from that of an ordinary person. Strong sunlight will make the body uncomfortable and consume a lot of energy.

If she wanted to go out during the day, she had to wrap herself up tightly.

After entering the city, the carriage stopped in front of a restaurant. She got out of the carriage only after Ning Ji opened an umbrella.

As soon as she got off the carriage, many people looked at her. After all, her tight attire was too eye-catching. Even the ladies of noble families did not cover themselves as tightly as she did.

The waiter hurried forward to greet them and help park the carriage.

Ning Ji was carrying several bags filled with important items, holding an umbrella in one hand and holding her hand with the other as they walked into the restaurant. He put away the umbrella only when they reached the shade at the door.

When they walked into the restaurant lobby, the diners around saw Si He's formal attire and looked at her with curiosity.

Ning Ji asked for a private room and the waiter quickly led the way.

The diners around quickly looked away and continued eating and chatting.

Ya was sitting upstairs in the private room. Since Si He was wearing a veil hat, the waiter slowed down his pace, fearing that she would not be able to see the road clearly and accidentally fall.

Si He and Ning Ji didn't say anything, just followed behind and walked slowly.

As I was going upstairs, I could hear some guests talking in the lobby.

"Tsk~ The price of Dragon Tooth Tea has gone up again recently. These black-hearted businesses are simply going too far!"

"It's not just the price of Dragon Tooth Tea that's gone up; the prices of many types of cloth have gone up as well. This is mainly because Xiangyun Trading Company has a monopoly on the supply."

"The Zhao Company seems to sell it too, so how come they have a monopoly on the business?"

"Zhao's Trading Company? You're really ignorant. A while ago, the Zhao family encountered a disaster. I heard there was a plague and many people died, so their business was affected. Xiangyun Trading Company profited and monopolized the supply of goods, so they raised the prices of these goods. They are really cruel."

"I've also heard about the Zhao Company. Wasn't it said that a lot of people died because of evil spirits? How did it turn into a plague?"

"It seems like there's an evil spirit and a plague going on."

"Why did I hear it was some kind of corpse poison, not a plague?"

"Corpse poison?! What kind of corpse poison? It sounds creepy."

"How would I know? I just heard it from others. I heard that the poison came from that haunted villa. Even the government was alarmed at the time."

……

Listening to these conversations, Si He blinked slightly. She was calm about the tragedy of the Zhao family, but when she heard about the corpse poison, her eyes showed a strange color.

After she controlled Si Rong, she did give her corpse poison, just in case.

At that time, she originally wanted to control Si Rong to deal with the people of the Zhao family, and then commit suicide. However, in order to be on the safe side, she was afraid that Si Rong would be subdued by those people, so she added poison and had no intention of letting Si Rong live long.

It seems that after those people took Si Rong back, they did not deal with the body immediately after she died, which led to the spread of the corpse poison.

She was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, it was impossible for someone like Zhao Laoxie not to see that Si Rong was infected with corpse poison. What's more, there were so many Taoists around her, how could the corpse poison spread?

However, thinking back on the Ou family's previous behavior, perhaps they were responsible for this?

Going up to the second floor, the voices of people talking downstairs can no longer be heard clearly. Compared to the hustle and bustle of the first floor, the second floor is much quieter.

Ning Ji chose a private room where no sunlight could enter. It was cool and quiet.

Si Hecai took off the veil, revealing her face, and also took off the thin gloves on her hands.

The waiter, who was about to introduce the dishes, was really amazed when he saw her fairy-like face, but when he noticed the man's cold expression, the waiter quickly withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and introduced the dishes.

Ning Ji and Si He ordered a few of the restaurant's signature dishes, a pot of tea, and also took away some special snacks.

The waiter retreated, and as he closed the door, he stole a glance at the pretty figure, wondering, "Is she wearing such tights because she's so pretty and afraid of being noticed?" While she was pretty, her complexion was a little too pale, looking a little sickly.

Ning Ji put the bag he was carrying aside, then looked at her face and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

She smiled and shook her head, "No, it's fine."

"If you feel uncomfortable, tell me."

"it is good."

"Is it hot?"

"A little."

As he spoke, Ning Ji took out a folding fan and fanned her gently.

"Thank you, husband." She smiled, tilted her face slightly to face him, and squinted her eyes comfortably in the cool breeze, like a coquettish cat, with a look of contentment on her face.

Ning Ji also looked at her with a faint smile, his eyes full of doting.

By the way, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. If she didn't want to go into the city to eat some delicious food and see the excitement, she really didn't want to go out during the day. It was like being in a steamer, so hot and uncomfortable.

"Where do you want to go later?" Ning Ji asked while fanning her.

She opened her eyes, thought for a moment, and finally shook her head. "It's too hot. I don't want to go out anymore. How about we rest here after lunch? Or wait until the sun isn't so hot before heading out of town?"

"Okay." He responded with a smile.

After a while, the waiter brought tea and some appetizers, as well as a plate of fruit to relieve the heat.

There are several kinds of fruits on the fruit plate, all cut into small pieces, which are convenient to eat and look good. The store owner is really thoughtful.

Si He's eyes lit up slightly, she was thirsty.

She was about to reach out to grab a piece of cut fruit when a loud noise and screams suddenly came from downstairs.

boom!

Ah!

It was like someone was thrown onto the table, causing it to collapse.

The sudden loud noise made her hand pause, and it stopped in mid-air. She turned to look outside the door. Was there a fight? Judging from the sound, it was in the lobby downstairs.

"Husband, let's go and take a look." Perhaps because she seldom went out these days, she was interested in watching the fun again.

Looking at her sparkling eyes, he smiled helplessly, "Okay."

She immediately pulled him out of the corridor, where they could just see the situation in the lobby on the first floor.
