Chapter 190 Confrontation(1/2)

After Ren Yaoqi came out of Shou'an Hall, Hongying, who was waiting outside, came up to meet him.

After hearing that the princess was left alone by the old princess, Hongying led Ren Yaoqi to Jiuyang Palace, thinking about whether she would inform the princess and asked her to pick her up the princess back.

Hongying is not afraid of the princess's big losses. Although Xiao Jinglin is cold on weekdays and doesn't like to talk, she is not a person who will suffer. Hongying is afraid that her princess can't bear it anymore and will not be willing to endure it, and then let the princess suffer. When her princess is forced to stay in the princess, she can hide back to Jiajing Pass without hesitation, but the princess wants to stay in the palace.

When I went to Shou'an Hall before, I didn't think that after I came out, Ren Yaoqi discovered that Shou'an Hall was more like a southern courtyard, with many flowers and plants used for decoration, and there seemed to be some rockery and strange rocks behind the hall.

After leaving Shou'an Hall, the buildings I saw were even more solemn and magnificent, with big trees everywhere. I often looked up and couldn't see the sky and only saw lush branches and leaves.

A man suddenly walked over under the green shade in front of him. The mottled shade was projected on him, making his body almost submerged in the shadows, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly. However, this man could easily attract other people's gazes in every move, and it was impossible to ignore him.

In this world, some people are born to be luminous bodies.

Ren Yaoqi recognized him almost as soon as he saw the visitor. When he walked in, the handsome face finally became clear.

Ren Yaoqi curled his eyes and bowed his knees and saluted: "Young Master Xiao."

Xiao Jingxi stopped, looked at Ren Yaoqi for a moment, nodded and smiled: "Jinglin is still in Shou'an Palace?"

"The old princess and Mrs. Wu seem to want to ask the princess what she said, so I'll come out first."

Xiao Jingxi was not surprised and smiled and said, "Oh? Is it Yanbei's military affairs?"

Ren Yaoqi subconsciously noticed the surroundings when he heard this. Xiao Jingxi came alone, with only Apple and Hongying following her. No wonder he asked so directly.

After thinking about it, Ren Yaoqi said, "Miss Wu mentioned the invasion of the Dangxiang people. It was a major matter of the country and I was inconvenient to be present, so Mrs. Wu asked me to come out."

Xiao Jingxi thought something and then casually said: "I fought a few small battles a few days ago."

Speaking of this, Xiao Jingxi paused and looked at Ren Yaoqi and said with a smile: "My aunt is afraid she came back to borrow soldiers. Do you think Yanbei Palace should respond?"

Ren Yaoqi resisted the urge to roll his eyes. You have almost hid the army. Obviously, you are not willing to borrow it yourself. You are pretending to be a big-tailed wolf and ask me if you are shameless!

"Young Master Xiao was joking. I am just a weak person in the boudoir with shallow knowledge and don't understand these." Ren Yaoqi's expression remained unchanged.

Xiao Jingxi looked at her with a smile, and no longer made things difficult for her.

"I'll take Jinglin back." Xiao Jing moved a small step to the side and asked Ren Yaoqi to go first.

Ren Yaoqi bowed, but when he passed by, he paused and turned and said softly: "Young Master Xiao, I heard that many horse farms invaded Ningxia this time have suffered losses. I wonder what happened to the Su family's horse farms?"

When Xiao Jingxi heard this, the surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled slowly, looking at Ren Yaoqi and said, "The Su family is fine."

Ren Yaoqi nodded, hesitated for a moment before saying, "I heard that Mrs. Wu has a good relationship with the eldest wife of the Su family." She said this sentence very lightly and slowly, but her tone was firm.

Xiao Jingxi didn't say anything, but his eyes looked at Ren Yaoqi had a different meaning.

Ren Yaoqi looked at him for a moment, and Xiao Jingxi's dark and bright eyes seemed to contain some kind of magic that could suck people in.

Ren Yaoqi turned his eyes away first, nodded, and left straight.

Xiao Jingxi looked at her back, and the expression in her eyes made people confused. Suddenly, he shook his head and laughed, and murmured softly: "How could there be such a thing in this world..."

The last few words were extremely light and dissipated between the lips and tongue.

Ren Yaoqi walked far away, and then suddenly stopped from Xiao Jingxi's sight, exhaled, and then continued to move forward without looking back.

She just hinted that Xiao Jing's Western Wu family had collusion with the Su family, and that this invasion of the Dangxiang people may have something to do with the Su family.

Ren Yaoqi knew that she had taken risks like this, and that such a thing was not something that she could argue with. But she had to use Xiao Jingxi's power to suppress Zeng Yan, who might enter Ningxia and collude with the Su family in the future.

Shortly after Ren Yaoqi returned to Jiuyang Palace, Xiao Jinglin came back. Xiao Jinglin didn't mention much about Xiao Wei's leaving her. She was as serious as usual when practicing the piano.

Because the princess recently asked Xiao Jinglin to learn some common things with her nanny around her, it was still early when Ren Yaoqi left the Yanbei Palace, and refused Xiao Jinglin to ask to send her out in order to avoid her leisure.

After coming out of the Nine Yang Hall, Ren Yaoqi happened to run into the group.

Wu Yiyu and a few maids hurriedly turned out from another road, looking like she wanted to go to the outer hall. Ren Yaoqi stopped when he saw her and asked her to leave first.

Wu Yiyu paused when she walked past her, and her eyes looked down at her. Ren Yaoqi smiled and lowered his head and stood aside.

Wu Yiyu snorted coldly and left arrogantly again, as if there was an urgent matter and no time to make things difficult for her.

Ren Yaoqi didn't care about her attitude, so he deliberately slowed down a little, and waited for her to walk away before following her.

When he walked to the place where the carriage was stopped, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but pause.

She saw Wu Yiyu not far ahead, and the two brothers of the Yun family, Yun Wenting and Yun Wenfang, standing with Wu Yiyu.

Ren Yaoqi has not seen Yun Wenfang for some days. Yun Wenfang once sent someone to deliver things to her a while ago, but before she even reported to her, she was blocked by Xiangqin, who was strictly guarded. Xiangqin, who was known as the number one maid in front of the ladies, always remembered the purpose of her lady sending her to the fifth lady and was very conscientious. Ren Yaoqi cooperated and thought that she knew nothing, and did not ask what was given to Ren Yaoqi.

Ren Yaoqi thought about it and decided to pretend that he had not seen anyone wanting to get on the carriage. He didn't expect that Yun Wenfang had noticed her a long time ago and said before she got on the carriage: "Miss Ren Wu, please stay."

Ren Yaoqi sighed and suddenly missed Maid Xiangqin a little. Xiangqin went to the Ren family courtyard to take care of Ren Yaohua.

Yun Wenfang walked over as he spoke. He had practiced kung fu, so he was very fast. Ren Yaoqi couldn't pretend that he didn't hear it.

In the end, he could only let go of the maid's hand and bow his knees: "I've seen Mr. Yun."

Yun Wenfang looked at her a few times, curled her lips and smiled, but her tone was a little cold: "I don't call you, do you just pretend that you didn't see it?"

Ren Yaoqi lowered his head and said, "Young Master Yun is so serious."

Yun Wen slowly walked forward two steps, one tight step away from Ren Yaoqi. Ren Yaoqi subconsciously wanted to retreat, but Yun Wenfang saw her movements and sneered: "You try to retreat!"

Ren Yaoqi measured the situation and thought about Yun Wenfang's temperament. In the end, he forced himself to resist and did not retreat. He just turned his body and made him no longer face-to-face with Yun Wenfang, and faced her sideways so that others would not feel ambiguous when they saw them.

Yun Wenfang glanced at her sideways and snorted softly: "Why don't you accept the painting I gave you?"

Only then did Ren Yaoqi realize that Yun Wenfang gave her a painting last time.

"That's the original work of Wu Qinghong that I finally found. Don't you like his paintings very much?" Yun Wenfang became angry as he said.

Think about when did Mr. Yun Er deliberately lower his figure to please others? Ren Yaoqi was the first one.

Mr. Yun was not used to doing this kind of thing and was unwilling to do it before. However, when he went out to drink with his brother last time, he heard a few older teenagers at the next table saying that women should coax them. On weekdays, they should give them something to their preferences.

However, Yun Er was still young and had little understanding of this kind of thing. He didn't know that the older teenagers mentioned were either the concubines in his family or the women in the Chu Pavilion outside Qinlou.

After returning home that day, Mr. Yun thought about what to give away for Ren Yaoqi to like. Mr. Yun naturally disdained to give away gold, silver and jewelry. Finally, he remembered that when he was staying in the Yun family, he had heard from the people below that Mr. Ren and Miss Ren Wu asked someone to collect paintings by the painter Wu Qinghong of the previous dynasty.

The second day, Yun Erjun asked his elder brother to find the painting, but in the end he borrowed the face of his father and brother and bought it from an uncle who begged for nothing.

But what he didn't expect was that he hurriedly asked someone to give her a painting, but the last person who gave the painting was re-sealed, and he was ridiculed by her maid.

Yun Wen was so angry that he felt that Ren Yaoqi was too ungrateful. After all, he was a man who wanted to save face. After putting his hot face on his cold butt, he stopped giving Ren Yaoqi things. He thought that Ren Yaoqi might reflect and apologize to him.

Unfortunately, ideals are good, but reality is terrible. He did not see Ren Yaoqi again. Instead, he heard that Ren Yaoqi ran to the Yanbei Palace every day, so Yun Wenfang couldn't sit still.

Ren Yaoqi looked at Yun Wenfang's eyes staring at her and her emotions were unpredictable. After thinking about it, she realized that the young master was not very happy. Ren Yaoqi had a headache.

Just as they were about to say something, Yun Wenting and Wu Yiyu came over there.

Ren Yaoqi then gave them a chance to greet him and quietly moved one step away.

Yun Wenting smiled politely and nodded. Wu Yiyu changed her usual domineering style. She stood beside Yun Wenting, looking gentle, respectful, frugal, and a little shy on her face.

However, when he saw Ren Yaoqi and Yun Wenfang, Wu Yiyu took the time to look back and forth thoughtfully several times, but he didn't speak.

When Ren Yaoqi was thinking about how to get out, Apple stood up, lowered her head and said expressionlessly: "Miss, I have something urgent to look for you."

Ren Yaoqi hurriedly followed the pole and said, "There is something urgent at home, I'll go back first." Then he said that, he bent his knees and bowed, turning around and leaving.

Unexpectedly, Yun Wen moved his steps, barely blocked Ren Yaoqi's way, and he didn't say anything, but just looked at her coldly.

Ren Yaoqi frowned and became a little angry. He took a deep breath and was about to speak, but a man with a slight smile sounded behind him: "I heard that Zi Rui and Zi Shu are here. The princess has been waiting for a long time but has not seen anyone, so she asked me to come out and take a look. It turns out that you are here."

Ren Yaoqi turned around and saw Ren Yaoqi standing not far behind them.

Seeing her looking over, his eyes paused slightly on her, then turned his eyes and smiled at Yun Wenting, "The princess and Jinglin are waiting in the Jiuyang Palace."

Yun Wenting came forward to greet Xiao Jingxi and smiled and said, "I'm about to go in, but I've been waiting for my aunt for a long time. It's not me and Zishu."

Xiao Jingxi and Yun Wenting exchanged a few greetings and asked Yun Wenting to enter the inner hall. Seeing Yun Wenfang standing in front of Ren Yaoqi without moving, Xiao Jingxi turned his head and smiled slightly: "Zi Shu?"

Yun Wenfang looked at Xiao Jingxi and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Yun Wenting: "Zi Shu, didn't you just say that you miss the pastries in the princess's kitchen?" Looking at Yun Wenfang, his eyes were filled with warnings and severity.

Yun Wenfang pursed his lips, looked at Ren Yaoqi again, clenched his fists, and finally gave up his way to follow Yun Wenting.

When Wu Yiyu walked to Ren Yaoqi, she looked at her several times, with suspicion and scrutiny in her eyes. Ren Yaoqi smiled without changing her face and nodded politely.

After they all left, Ren Yaoqi held the maid's hand and got on the carriage. As soon as the curtain of the carriage was put down, the smile on Ren Yaoqi's face gradually faded, and a bit of fatigue appeared between his eyebrows.

*******

Ren Yaohua was about to recuperate in the villa for a few days, and his foot injury was almost healed. Ren Yaoqi and Ren Shijia visited her once before. On this day, when Ren Yaoqi took advantage of the fact that he had nothing to do to see her, Ren Yaohua could already walk by himself.

Seeing that Ren Yaohua's walking posture was no different from before, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "I'm still thinking, what if you're not going to be good if you wait for the Qianjin Banquet."

Ren Yaoqi himself had no idea about the Qianjin Banquet, but he hoped that Ren Yaohua would participate smoothly. Ren Yaohua was already at the age of celebrating marriage, and Ren Yaoqi hoped that Ren Yaohua could get rid of the fate of his previous life and find a suitable in-laws' family.

"When I fell, Wu Jie pulled me, so the injury was not serious. Isn't it still four or five days before Qianjin Banquet?" Ren Yaohua said indifferently, and asked Ren Yaoqi to come into the house and sit down.

"Are you ready for your clothes and jewelry when you came?" It was rare that the weather was good today, and Ren Yaohua's face looked good, so Ren Yaoqi started chatting with her.

Ren Yaohua shook her head: "Grandma is looking for someone to rush to make a move, saying that we will send our sisters' clothes and faces in a few days."

Ren Yaoqi was too worried. The Ren family also attached great importance to the girls of the Ren family who could attend the grandfather banquet this time. As soon as the old lady returned, she began to prepare her outfits for several granddaughters.

At this time, a little maid entered the house and reported: "Miss, Miss Fifth, Miss Ninth sent someone to ask if you want to go out with her."

Ren Yaoqi looked at Ren Yaohua in confusion.

Ren Yaohua sneered and said to Ren Yaoqi: "I haven't seen her so enthusiastic before. But I've been injured in my feet these days. She has come to invite me out for a trip." He turned to the maid and said, "I don't have time, don't go!"
