"Did you come with Second Young Master Xiao?" Ren Yaoqi asked with a smile.

But Zhu Ruomei shook her head: "Young master asked me to go back to Yunyang City to see my mother after I recovered from my injury a few days ago. Young master said that there will be some things that I will take care of for a while, so just let me take care of myself if I have nothing to do now." I came to Baihe Town to see Uncle Yuan and the others, and I also wanted to ask Miss Fifth if there was anything I could do for my help."

"You don't need to follow Second Young Master Xiao?" Ren Yaoqi asked after hearing what he said.

Zhu Ruomei grinned, shook her head and said, "I listen to you, and let me stay in Baihe Town in the future."

Seeing that Ren Yaoqi was a little surprised, Zhu Ruomei lowered her voice again and whispered, "I should be allowed to stay in Bailong Temple, but I haven't explained what I will do specifically."

White Dragon Temple? Ren Yaoqi pondered for a while, and combined with the news she heard from Dongsheng before, she guessed that Xiao Jingxi's letting Zhu Ruomei stay in Bailong Temple should have something to do with the temple's hidden soldiers.

Zhu Ruomei had general talent in her previous life, so this is a good thing for him.

"Even though Second Young Master Xiao didn't let you go to the Yanbei Palace with him, he must have his intentions in making such an arrangement." Ren Yaoqi was worried that Zhu Ruomei would make this arrangement because she thought Xiao Jingxi didn't value him, so she persuaded in a low voice .

"Fifth Miss, don't worry, I'll save it." Zhu Ruomei nodded.

After a pause, he continued: "In the future, if Miss Fifth needs help with anything, please ask someone from the Yuan family to tell me. As long as I wish Ruomei can do it, I will never refuse."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help laughing, and said jokingly: "I don't have the guts to rob someone from Second Young Master Xiao."

Zhu Ruomei smiled embarrassedly when she heard the words, and then said seriously: "Second Young Master Xiao said, as long as I do well what he told me to do, I won't be given too many restrictions. So Miss Fifth, please Don't worry."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help raising her eyebrows secretly when she heard the words, Xiao Jingxi is so generous?

But if this is the case, it is naturally better.

What she lacks most now is the outside manpower. The manpower in the inner court can be cultivated by herself, but it is difficult to find reliable manpower in the outer court.

So she smiled and said: "You have a heart, if there is something that needs your help, I will send someone to find you."

Zhu Ruomei grinned again, and Ren Yaoqi realized that this tall and strong man was actually a very smiling person.

It was just past noon at this time, and it was supposed to be time for dinner, but there was no one in this small alley except Xiao Jinglin's carriage blocking the middle of the alley and a few of them. The sellers carrying loads and the passers-by in a hurry are deserted at the moment.

"This alley is so remote? Isn't Sister Mo not doing business here?" Ren Yaoqi noticed this problem only now, and couldn't help asking.

Hearing this, Zhu Ruomei glanced around, but said in a low voice: "Second Young Master Xiao told Tong De a few words about him when he left, and then Tong De left for a while. It's clean. Although the fifth lady can't see anyone else, there are actually many people from Yanbei Palace guarding in the dark in this alley. Presumably Tongde also made people guard the entrance of the alley outside, and did not let the miscellaneous people go. Come in."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, did Xiao Jingxi order someone to clear the venue when he left?

Was he afraid that someone would break in and disturb Xiao Jinglin? But with Xiao Jinglin's temperament, she should not care about these things. When they came in before, although Xiao Jinglin also said that there were guards in the dark, she never stopped others from entering the alley.

Ren Yaoqi was guessing wildly, Zhu Ruomei said: "Miss Wu, it's sunny here, why don't you get in the car first? I will stay at Yuan Dayong's house for a few days, if you have something to do, send someone to find me at Yuan's house .”

Seeing that Xiao Jinglin had already boarded the carriage to wait for her, Ren Yaoqi nodded and walked towards the carriage.

Zhu Ruomei watched her get into the carriage, and he turned and left after the carriage left the alley.

After Ren Yaoqi got into the car, Xiao Jinglin nodded and ordered Dongsheng outside to drive away without asking what Ren Yaoqi and Zhu Ruomei had said.

The carriage drove away from the alley, Ren Yaoqi deliberately paid attention to the entrance of the alley, and sure enough, he saw two people dressed as guards guarding them.

The carriage stopped in the street ahead, and Ren Yaoqi ordered Apple to get off the car and call the maids and women who stayed in the teahouse, and they went back to Ren's house together.

"Did the princess know Sister-in-law Mo's family?" Ren Yaoqi casually chatted with Xiao Jinglin.

Xiao Jinglin nodded: "Mo Kai was originally a veteran stationed at Jiajingguan. A few years ago, when he led people out of the city on patrol, he encountered a small group of cavalry from the Liao people. The two sides fought together, and Mo Kai found out that the group was covering a The scout let him escape, so he chased after him alone. Unexpectedly, he ran into another pair of Liao cavalry. Being outnumbered, Mo Kai was afraid that the scout would have information that would be harmful to our army, so he jumped off the horse and rolled down with him. off the cliff."

Mo Kai should be Mrs. Mo's husband and Mo Xiaoliang's father.

Ren Yaoqi was silent for a moment after hearing the words: "Does Mo Xiaoliang still have an older brother?"

Xiao Jinglin nodded lightly: "Well, Mo Kai's eldest son, Mo Xiaolong, is a very good scout soldier despite his young age. But the winter before last, he disappeared during a mission."

As a scout, if you go missing, you usually die somewhere quietly. Many scouts can't find their bodies. This is a very normal thing in the army. It is impossible for Mo Xiaolong to be alive after being missing for so long.

No wonder...

Although Xiao Jinglin's tone was light, Ren Yaoqi felt a little heavy in her heart when she heard it.

The two of them didn't speak any more along the way.

The carriage soon arrived at the door of Ren's house, Xiao Jinglin lifted the curtain of the car and glanced at the door of Ren's house, and said to Ren Yaoqi: "I won't go in."

Ren Yaoqi knew that Xiao Jinglin might not be used to life in the inner courtyard, and she didn't like chatting and joking with the ladies in the boudoir, so she nodded and said with a smile: "Then I'll go back first. By the way, when will the Princess leave?" Baihe Town?"

Xiao Jinglin thought for a while: "I came with Xiao Jingxi this time, and I won't stay long. I should return to Yunyang City tomorrow at the latest."

"If the princess still needs someone to accompany her on the trip, send someone to find me." Ren Yaoqi blinked and said.

Xiao Jinglin curled the corners of her mouth when she heard the words, and nodded slightly.

Ren Yaoqi got off the carriage and entered Ren's mansion.

Before reaching the second gate, a woman ran out in a hurry, walked up to Ren Yaoqi and said with a smile, "Miss Wu, are you back? The old master and the old lady are waiting for you in the Ronghua courtyard, and ordered the servants As soon as I see you entering the mansion, I will call you over."

Ren Yaoqi was not surprised at all when she heard the words, she nodded, and followed the woman from Ronghuayuan to see Mrs. Ren and Mrs. Ren.

Originally at this time, Mrs. Ren should have finished her lunch and was about to take a nap, but today she was sitting with Mrs. Ren on the south kang in the second room to the right to talk. When she saw Ren Yaoqi coming in, Mrs. Ren first smiled and said: " Fifth girl is back? Have you eaten yet?"

The old lady Ren also looked at Ren Yaoqi and smiled, the dimples on her face made her look very kind: "There is hot hibiscus soup in the small kitchen."

Ren Yaoqi stepped forward to salute: "Thank you grandparents for remembering, granddaughter has already eaten."

The old lady Ren beckoned to her, pointed to the place beside her and said, "Come here and sit and talk."

Ren Yaoqi looked at the "throne" next to the old lady Ren, thought for a while, then lowered her head and stepped forward, but sat on the small brocade tree next to her. She said shyly: "Granddaughter should sit here, it's better to listen to the teachings of grandparents."

Mr. Ren stroked his beard and laughed.

Old Madam Ren said angrily, "You child..." She thought she was shy, but she didn't force her anymore.

"Where did you go to play with the princess today?" Mr. Ren finally started to ask questions.

"First, I went around the city and found that there was nothing interesting outside the city, so I went back to the city. Because the princess doesn't like crowded places, I randomly found an inconspicuous small shop for lunch. After that Then I came back." Ren Yaoqi said honestly.

"Oh? Outside the city? Does it happen to be near our Ren family's coal mine?" The old man Ren asked thoughtfully.

Ren Yaoqi's heart turned secretly, what is the old master Ren's intention? Do you think that Xiao Jinglin came to the Ren family with impure motives, and that the Yanbei Palace was interested in the Ren family's coal mine?

He said without a pause, "At first, my granddaughter didn't pay attention, but my granddaughter remembered it when my grandfather said that. We also encountered a camel caravan transporting coal from Ren's family on the road. It must be near the coal mine."

Mrs. Ren and Mrs. Ren looked at each other, and both of them had deep thoughts in their eyes.

"What did the Princess and you talk about? Did you mention anything about our Ren family?" the old lady Ren asked.

Ren Yaoqi made a gesture and thought for a while: "I didn't say much about the Ren family, but I chatted with me about the horses and camels that transport coal."

Old Master Ren frowned and pondered: "Horses and camels?"

Ren Yaoqi nodded.

"Is there anything else? I heard that the princess asked you to dismiss everyone around you, leaving only a girl to serve you?" the old lady asked again.

"The Princess said she didn't like people around her, so she asked me to dismiss them all. The Princess always told me about the things she encountered outside the pass, and asked me how I passed the time in my boudoir. Don't I don't know what the old lady is referring to?" Ren Yaoqi asked puzzled.

"The Princess came to Baihe Town alone this time?" Old Master Ren asked.

"It seems that they came with the second son of the Xiao family. The second son of Xiao wanted to do something, and the princess came to me."

The old lady Ren smiled more and more kindly: "Then how long will they stay in Baihe Town? Since you are familiar with the princess, why should our Ren family do our best as a landlord and have a good banquet. It would be even better if the Second Young Master invites you here."

Mr. Ren also nodded with a smile on his face: "Your grandmother is right, can you see if you can make another post for the princess?"
