Scheme of the Official Descendant

Chapter 189 Confrontation

After Ren Yaoqi came out of Shou'an Hall, Hongying who was waiting outside greeted her.

After hearing that the princess was left alone by the princess, Hongying led Ren Yaoqi to Jiuyang Palace, thinking whether to inform the princess and let her come to pick up the princess.

Hongying was not afraid that the princess would suffer a big loss. Although Xiao Jinglin was usually cold and didn't like to talk very much, she was not one who would suffer. What Hongying was afraid of was that her princess would not be able to bear it anymore and let the princess suffer. The princess of her family was forced to go back to Jiajing Pass regardless, but the princess wanted to stay in the palace.

I didn’t think so when I went to Shou’an Hall before, but after I came out, Ren Yaoqi realized that Shou’an Hall is more like a courtyard in the south. There are a lot of huāhuā for decoration, and there seem to be some rockery and strange stones behind the hall.

After leaving the Shou'an Hall, the buildings you can see at a glance are more solemn and magnificent. There are thick and thick trees everywhere. When you look up, you can't see the sky but only the gloomy branches and leaves.

A person suddenly walked slowly under the green shade in front of him, and the mottled shade was projected on him, making his body almost completely submerged in the shadow, making it difficult to see his appearance, but this person's gestures are He can easily attract other people's eyes, and it is impossible to ignore him.

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

Ren Yaoqi recognized the person almost as soon as she saw him. After walking in, the man's handsome appearance was finally clear.

Ren Yaoqi closed her eyes and bowed her knees: "Young Master Xiao."

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

"The old concubine and Mrs. Wu seemed to want to ask the princess something, so I came out first."

Xiao Jingxi was not surprised. He smiled and said, "Oh? You are asking about military affairs in Yanbei?"

When Ren Yaoqi heard the words, she subconsciously took a look around. Xiao Jingxi came alone, and she was only accompanied by Apple and Hongying. No wonder he asked so directly.

After thinking for a while, Ren Yaoqi said: "Miss Wu mentioned the invasion of party members. This is an important matter for the family and the country and I cannot be present, so Mrs. Wu let me out."

Xiao Jingxi was thoughtful, and then said casually: "A few days ago, there were a few small battles in the western region."

Speaking of this, Xiao Jingxi paused, looked at Ren Yaoqi and said with a smile: "I'm afraid my aunt came back to borrow soldiers, in your opinion, should the Yanbei Palace be appropriate?"

Ren Yaoqi resisted the urge to roll her eyes, the army is almost hidden by you, obviously you don't want to borrow it yourself, so don't be ashamed to ask me what you are pretending to be a big-tailed wolf at the moment!

"Second Young Master Xiao is just joking, I'm just a weak girl with little knowledge, I don't understand these things." Ren Yaoqi said with an unchanged expression.

Xiao Jingxi glanced at her with a half-smile, but he didn't make things difficult for her anymore.

"I'll bring Jinglin back." Xiao Jingxi moved a small step to the side, letting Ren Yaoqi go first.

Ren Yaoqi gave a salute, but she paused when she passed by, turned her head and said softly: "Young Master Xiao, I heard that many racecourses in Ningxia have suffered losses when the party members invaded this time. How are the horse farms?"

The surprise in Xiao Jingxi's eyes flashed away when he heard the words, then he smiled slowly, looked at Ren Yaoqi and said, "The Su family is fine."

Ren Yaoqi nodded, hesitated for a while before saying: "I heard that Mrs. Wu has a good relationship with Mrs. Su's family." She said this very softly and slowly, but her tone was firm.

Xiao Jingxi didn't speak, but looked at Ren Yaoqi with some deep meaning.

Ren Yaoqi and him looked at each other for a moment, Xiao Jingxi's dark and bright eyes seemed to contain some kind of magical power, as if they could suck people in.

Ren Yaoqi turned her eyes away first, nodded, and walked straight away.

Xiao Jingxi looked at her back, the expression in his eyes was unclear, suddenly he shook his head and laughed, and murmured softly: "How can 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, away from Xiao Jingxi's line of sight, then suddenly stopped, let out a breath, and continued walking without looking back.

She had just hinted that Xiao Jingxi's Wu family had colluded with the Su family, and that the party's invasion might have something to do with the Su family.

Ren Yaoqi knew that she was taking a risk by doing this, and such a thing was simply not something she could talk about as a woman. But she had to rely on Xiao Jingxi's power to suppress Zeng Teng who might enter Ningxia in the future and collude with the Su family.

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

Because the concubine asked Xiao Jinglin to learn some common things from the nanny in charge recently, it was still too early for Ren Yaoqi to leave the Yanbei palace, and she declined Xiao Jinglin's offer to send her out in order to avoid leisure.

After coming out of the Nine Suns Palace, Ren Yaoqi bumped into a group of people.

Wu Yiyu hurried out from another road with a few maids and women, and it seemed that she also wanted to go to the outer hall. When Ren Yaoqi saw her, she stopped and let her go first.

When Wu Yiyu walked past her, she paused for a moment, her gaze was somewhat condescending, Ren Yaoqi smiled and stood aside with her head bowed.

Wu Yiyu snorted coldly, and walked away arrogantly, as if she had urgent matters and didn't have time to embarrass her.

Ren Yaoqi didn't care about her attitude, deliberately slowed down her pace, and followed her out after she had gone a little further.

Walking to the place where the carriage was parked, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but pause.

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

Ren Yaoqi hadn't seen Yun Wenfang for a few days. A while ago, Yun Wenfang sent someone to deliver her something, but before she reported to her, she was blocked by the guarded Xiangqin, who claimed to be Miss Xiangqin, the first maid in front of us, always remembers the purpose of her own lady sending her to Miss Fifth's side, and is very conscientious. Ren Yaoqi cooperated as if he didn't know anything, and didn't ask what Ren Yaoqi was giving.

Ren Yaoqi thought about it, and decided to pretend that she didn't see anyone wanting to get into the carriage. She didn't want Yun Wenfang to notice her long ago, and said before she got into the carriage: "Miss Ren, please stay .”

Ren Yaoqi sighed, and suddenly missed the parsley maid. Xiangqin went to take care of Ren Yaohua in the other courtyard of Ren's family.

Yun Wenfang walked over while talking, he had practiced kung fu, so his steps were fast, even if Ren Yaoqi wanted to pretend he didn't hear it.

In the end, he could only let go of the servant girl's hand and bowed his knees to salute: "I have seen Mr. Yun."

Yun Wenfang sized her up a few times, then bent his lips and smiled, but his tone was somewhat cold: "If I don't stop you, are you going to pretend you didn't see it?"

Ren Yaoqi bowed his head and said, "Mr. Yun is serious."

Yun Wen slowly took two steps forward, one step away from Ren Yaoqi. Ren Yaoqi wanted to retreat subconsciously, but Yun Wenfang sneered when he saw her movement, "Try to retreat!"

Ren Yaoqi weighed the situation, thinking about Yun Wenfang's temperament, and finally resisted not to retreat, but turned sideways, so that he and Yun Wenfang were no longer face to face, and turned his side to her, so as not to Others feel ambiguous when they see their appearance.

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

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

"That's Wu Qinghong's authentic work that I managed to get someone to find. Don't you like his paintings very much?" Yun Wenfang became angry as he spoke.

When did Second Young Master Yun deliberately lower his figure to please others? Ren Yaoqi was the first one.

Second Young Master Yun is not used to this kind of thing, and he didn't even bother to do it before. But the last time he went out drinking with his elder brother, he heard a few older boys at the next table say that women are meant to be coaxed. On weekdays, you have to do what you like and send something.

However, Yun Er was still young, so he didn't know much about such things. He didn't know that the women mentioned by those older boys were either the concubines in his own home or the women in the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion outside.

After Yun Ershao returned home that night, he thought about what to give to Ren Yaoqi to like it. Gold, silver and jewels, such vulgar things as Yun Ershao naturally disdained to give them away. Finally, he remembered that he had listened to the following when he lived in Yun's house. Some people said that Mr. Ren and Mrs. Fifth asked people to collect the paintings of the former painter Wu Qinghong.

Second Young Master Yun entrusted his elder brother to find the painting the next day, and finally borrowed his father and brother's face to buy 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, and in the end the person who delivered the painting didn't even see Ren Yaoqi's face, and was sarcastically ridiculed by her maid.

Yun Wenfang was so pissed off that he felt that Ren Yaoqi was too ignorant of what was good or bad. After all, he wants to save face, and after putting his hot face on his cold ass, he stopped delivering things to Ren Yaoqi, thinking that Ren Yaoqi might ask him to apologize after introspection.

It's a pity that the ideal is good, but the reality is terrible. He didn't see Ren Yaoqi again, but he heard that Ren Yaoqi went to the Yanbei Palace every day, and now Yun Wenfang couldn't sit still.

Ren Yaoqi watched Yun Wenfang staring at her with unpredictable emotions, and after thinking about it, he understood that the young master was not very happy. Ren Yaoqi had a severe headache.

Just as he was about to say something, Yun Wenting and Wu Yiyu walked over there.

Ren Yaoqi then gave them a chance to salute, and quietly moved a step aside.

Yun Wenting smiled and nodded politely, Wu Yiyu changed her usual domineering style, and stood beside Yun Wenting with a gentle, respectful and thrifty look, with a flushed face and a little shyness.

However, when seeing Ren Yaoqi and Yun Wenfang, Wu Yiyu took time out of his busy schedule 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, my aunt has something urgent to see you."

Ren Yaoqi hurriedly followed the pole and said: "There is something urgent at home, I'll go back first." Then he bowed his knees and saluted, then turned to leave.

He didn't want Yun Wenfang to move his footsteps, barely blocking Ren Yaoqi's way, and didn't speak, just looked at her coldly.

Ren Yaoqi frowned and became a little angry. She took a deep breath and was about to speak when a voice with a slight smile came from behind: "I heard that Zirui and Zishu are here. The princess is waiting for you." I haven't seen anyone for a long time, so let me come out to have a look, so you are here."

Ren Yaoqi turned his head and saw Ren Yaoqi standing not far behind them.

Seeing her looking over, his eyes paused for a moment on her, then he turned his eyes and said to Yun Wenting with a smile: "Princess Wang and Jing Lin are waiting in Jiuyang Palace."

Yun Wenting came forward to greet Xiao Jingxi, and said with a smile, "I'm about to go in, but it's Zishu and I's fault for making my aunt wait for a long time."

Xiao Jingxi exchanged a few words with Yun Wenting, and invited Yun Wenting to enter the inner hall. Seeing Yun Wenfang standing still in front of Ren Yaoqi, 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 missed the pastries in the princess's kitchenette?" Looking at Yun Wenfang's eyes But it contained a bit of warning and strictness.

Yun Wenfang pursed his lips, looked at Ren Yaoqi again, clenched his fists, and finally stepped out of the way to follow Yun Wenting.

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

After the group of them had left, Ren Yaoqi supported the maid's hand and got into the carriage. As soon as the curtain of the carriage was lowered, the smile on Ren Yaoqi's face gradually faded, and a bit of fatigue appeared between his brows.

Ren Yaohua will be in the other hospital for a few days, and the injury on her foot is almost healed. Ren Yaoqi and Ren Shijia visited her once before, and this day Ren Yaoqi went to the other hospital alone to see her while she had nothing to do. When she was young, Ren Yaohua could already walk by herself.

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 don't feel well after the Qianjin Banquet."

Ren Yaoqi herself had no idea about the Qianjin Banquet, but she hoped that Ren Yaohua could attend it smoothly. Ren Yaohua has reached the age of marriage, and Ren Yaoqi hopes that Ren Yaohua can get rid of the fate of the previous life and find a suitable husband's family.

"Turtle helped me when I fell, so the injury is not serious. Isn't there still four or five days before the Qianjin Banquet?" Ren Yaohua said indifferently, while beckoning Ren Yaoqi to come in and sit down.

"Did you have your clothes and jewelry ready when you came?" It was rare that the weather was good today, and Ren Yaohua's face looked good, so Ren Yaoqi started a family routine with her.

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

Ren Yaoqi was too worried, and the Ren family also attached great importance to the fact that the girls of the Ren family could participate in the Qianjin Banquet this time. As soon as the old lady went back, she started to prepare outfits for her granddaughters.

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

Ren Yaoqi looked at Ren Yaohua in puzzlement.

Ren Yaohua sneered, and said to Ren Yaoqi: "I didn't see her so enthusiastic before, but I hurt my foot these days, and she came to invite me out." Turning to the maid, she said, "No time, I won't go!"

The servant girl was about to retreat when she heard the words, but Ren Yaohua changed her mind when she rolled her eyes: "Wait a minute, the weather is fine today. Since the ninth sister sincerely invites me, fifth sister and I will show some face."

Although the servant girl didn't know why Miss San suddenly changed her attention, but because of Miss San's usual power, she immediately responded to Ren Yaohua's words and hurried out to answer.

Ren Yaoqi was surprised and said, "Third Sister, do you really want to go out with them?"

Ren Yaohua glanced at Ren Yaoqi: "Go, why don't you go. Didn't you ruin her mind if you didn't go?"

Ren Yaoqi said helplessly: "Third Sister, your feet are just right, it's better to take care of them, why bother to compete with her for this moment."

Ren Yaohua glared at Ren Yaoqi: "Who is angry? I have been bored in the other hospital for so many days, so I can't go out for a walk? It will be difficult to go out after returning to Baihe Town."

Ren Yaoqi originally wanted to persuade her, but after hearing this sentence, she couldn't speak it anymore. After all, Ren Yaohua is still a teenager, no matter how calm and strong she is on weekdays, she happens to be the age who loves to play. In her previous life, she was designed to fall out of favor in Ren's family, and she was detained in the yard all year round, rarely having the opportunity to go out.

So Ren Yaoqi stopped persuading her.

Ren Yaohua changed into a short jacket with silver and red two-color gold embroidered butterfly and huā patterns, and matched it with a silver-gray sheath skirt. Ren Yaohua has a bright appearance and fair complexion, no matter what kind of red she wears, she looks great. This dress makes people feel bright when they are on the body, and they can't take their eyes off.

Ren Yaoqi admired sincerely: "This outfit matches you very well." Then she couldn't help joking, "No wonder you have to go out. You look so good-looking. It would be a waste not to wear it and compare yourself with others."

Ren Yaohua walked over with a cold face, then took advantage of Ren Yaoqi's unpreparedness and reached out to hit her hard on the head, then bypassed Ren Yaoqi and went straight out.

Ren Yaoqi covered her head in a daze, and it took a long time to realize that she was beaten again.

Ren Yaohua turned her head when she reached the door, and scolded: "What are you doing in a daze, let's go!"

Ren Yaoqi came back to her senses and said angrily, "Sister, why did you hit me again! I want to tell my mother!"

Ren Yaohua looked at Ren Yaoqi with contempt on her face: "Look at your promise." Then she walked away arrogantly without waiting for Ren Yaoqi.

Xiangqin and Turnip turned their heads to look at Ren Yaoqi, covering their mouths and laughing.

When Ren Yaoying saw Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi coming out, no matter what she thought in her heart, she still smiled when they came up.

"Third sister's leg is finally healed, and now I feel relieved."

Ren Yaohua glanced at her, and twitched the corner of her mouth: "Thank you for your concern, don't you want to travel, let's go."

Mrs. Fang had already got into the carriage, and Fang Shuzhou was waiting beside the carriage, accompanied by a young man leading a horse, who seemed to be going out on horseback. Seeing the Ren family sisters coming, they stepped forward to salute.

Because Ren Yaohua was preparing to come temporarily, and she hadn't prepared a carriage for her before, it seemed hypocritical for Ren Yaoying to invite someone. Fortunately, Mrs. Fang's carriage is very big, so Ren Yaoqi, Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoying got into Mrs. Fang's carriage together.

Seeing the two people coming up, Madam Fang smiled and exchanged a few words with them. Ren Yaoqi watched her words and expressions, but she could see that Mrs. Fang was a little absent-minded.

It seems that this trip to Yanbei was not as smooth as Mrs. Fang thought, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help smiling.

Ren Yaoqi's guess was not wrong, Mrs. Fang has indeed not been going well recently.

Mrs. Lin San didn't want to see her after what happened last time, and she didn't accept gifts when she gave them. Naturally, Yuan Changshi couldn't get online either.

Then there is the Yanbei Palace. She met Princess Yanbei once before under the introduction of her handkerchief. At that time, Princess Yanbei also said a few words to her and asked her a few questions. Princess Bei had a good impression of her.

But since then, she has never had the chance to see the princess again. She let the handkerchief be handed over to the princess to find out, but nothing came out. Last time, there was news from the Yanbei Palace that the princess might be willing to meet her. Once, I didn't want to wait for most of the day and still didn't see anyone.

As for the other high-ranking families in Yanbei, on weekdays, she is also very affectionate when she visits her home, and she is willing to associate with the Fang family in the south of the Yangtze River. The favor gradually faded away.

Seeing that the day when she was going back was getting closer and closer, her husband had sent letters several times, but she still hadn't made any progress here, and Mrs. Fang, who was as steady as she was, couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Over there, Ren Yaoying was talking softly to Ren Yaoqi: "The fifth sister has been in Yunyang City for a while, right? Have you ever been to Sun Moon Spring?"

Ren Yaoqi shook her head: "I've heard of it, but I have no chance to go. I heard that people in Yunyang City like to go to the nearby Zhuangzi to escape the cold in winter, but it's a pity when we came."

Sun Moon Spring is a hot spring outside Yunyang City. Many families have built other courtyards around the Sun Moon Spring and brought in the spring water from the Sun Moon Spring. It is relatively warm there in winter.

Ren Yaoying smiled and said: "We are going to Sun Moon Spring today. Mrs. Zhou has a dowry Zhuangzi near there, so I specially invited my cousin. In fact, it is not only a good place to go in winter, it is also very interesting to visit in summer."

Mrs. Zhou is Liu's handkerchief. Mrs. Zhou's husband works as a [secretary] official in the Yanbei Palace. Although he is only a low-ranking official, he is somewhat respectable because he can show his face in the prince's study. .

Every inch of land is expensive near Sun Moon Spring, Mrs. Zhou's dowry Zhuangzi is not big, and it is already a little far away from Sun Moon Spring, but this Zhuangzi is also a rare honor given to her by her natal family.

The carriage stopped in front of Zhuangzi, and there was a woman waiting at the door. When she saw Mrs. Liu getting off the carriage with the sisters from the Ren family, she came up to welcome them and led them in.
