Scheme of the Official Descendant

Ren Yaoqi saw the tense faces of the maidservants, and shook her head: "I'm not angry."

She wouldn't be angry because Xiao Jingxi said a few words to other women, but Yan Ningshuang's behavior made her feel a little unhappy.

Yan Ningshuang came to the Yanbei Palace in the same car as Zhao Yingqiu. The concubine had sent someone to escort them to the car before, but now that Zhao Yingqiu and the carriage had left, Yan Ningshuang hadn't left.

Pingguo and the others were slightly relieved when they saw that Ren Yaoqi's expression was still mild. Seeing that the wedding date is not far away, no one wants anything more to happen.

The carriage drove out of Yanbei Palace slowly, and Ren Yaoqi did not look outside the carriage.

But Ren Yaoqi didn't look outside, but the maids were worried. Le Shan, who was sitting by the car window, secretly lifted the curtain of the car and looked out from time to time, wanting to see if the second son of the Xiao family would throw off that woman Yan Ningshuang and catch up.

Ren Yaoqi noticed Le Shan's movements, and didn't say anything, and let her go.

After the carriage came out of the Yanbei Prince's Mansion, it headed towards Baoping Hutong. Except for the gentlemen in the academy, the people living in Baoping Hutong were some literati. It is relatively quiet during the day, not as noisy as other residential alleys. The big streets outside the alley are basically shops for brush, ink, calligraphy and painting, antique seal shops, etc., so they are far less lively and bustling than Zhengyang Street. .

When their carriage turned into the street in front of Baoping Hutong, Le Shan still refused to give up and wanted to look back. Ren Yaoqi sighed and was about to speak, but when she looked up, she saw a person walking from a shop across the street. Walking out of the shop, the teacup and bowl cover in Ren Yaoqi's hands suddenly knocked with a crisp sound,

Although the sound was not too loud, but because the carriage was very quiet, Le Shan was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered the curtain of the carriage. She thought that Ren Yaoqi was angry, so she quickly admitted her mistake and bowed her head to admit her mistake: "I know my mistake."

Ren Yaoqi didn't seem to hear Leshan's words. She blinked slowly, then suddenly yelled "Stop".

The mother-in-law driving the car outside heard a response and then started to slow down. Several maids saw Ren Yaoqi move to the window for no reason. The curtain of the carriage was pulled open, and the carriage was already a little far away from the seal shop just now.

Ren Yaoqi looked through the car window. There was only time to see a man in a green shirt walking in the opposite direction to her with leisurely steps.

The man was slender, and because his back was facing them, he couldn't see his face or age. Although he was dressed as a scholar, he looked a little lazy, as if everything in the world was neither eye-catching nor heart-warming. He was talking to his servant with his head tilted slightly at this time, even if he couldn't see the front, Ren Yaoqi could guess that he must be slightly closed his eyes at this moment. There is still a careless smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he will never wake up, you don't know whether it is you or nothingness in his sight.

Ren Yaoqi looked at the man's back in a daze, and forgot how to react for a moment. Until the figure of the man turned into another street and disappeared.

"Miss? What's the matter with you?" Le Shan asked cautiously. She bravely took a peek outside, but she didn't see anything. There were only a few pedestrians in this street. And they are all strangers.

Ren Yaoqi gradually came to her senses, and then realized that she had lost her composure. She put down the curtain, pursed her lips and said softly, "It's okay, I admitted the wrong person."

"Then shall we go back now?" Le Shan asked.

Ren Yaoqi was silent and did not speak.

Le Shui observed the words and expressions: "Maybe the lady did not admit the wrong person just now. Why don't you turn around and have a look?"

Ren Yaoqi sighed, looked at the maidservants and smiled: "Go back, I was the one who admitted the mistake."

So what if you are right?

She remembered that that person was a teacher or a friend, but that person only made her a stranger. Even if they stand together, they are speechless.

The maidservants didn't say anything more, and Apple told the woman who was driving the carriage to go on.

Just as the carriage was about to move, there was a knock on the wall of the carriage.

Ren Yaoqi, who had just calmed down, couldn't help being taken aback, and turned her head to look in the direction of the car window, but her right hand was unconsciously clenched, and she was a little nervous.

Le Shan looked at Ren Yaoqi, and asked out loud, "Who?"

The people outside seemed to pause for a moment, and then a soft, hoarse voice sounded outside: "Me."

Ren Yaoqi exhaled slowly, and let go of her hands, her palms were a little sweaty. How could she have forgotten that there was only one person who liked to knock on the wall of her carriage.

Ren Yaoqi lifted the curtain of the car a little, looked at Xiao Jingxi who was standing outside the car window, and said softly, "Why are you here?"

Xiao Jingxi came alone on horseback, standing beside the carriage, holding the reins in his hand. He was still wearing the same clothes as when he was standing with Yan Ningshuang before, watching Ren Yaoqi with deep eyes and not speaking for a while.

Seeing that he was silent, Ren Yaoqi was about to put down the curtain when Xiao Jingxi said in a low voice, "I have something to tell you, I'll wait for you at the Dongsheng Tea House in front." She didn't wait for Ren Yaoqi to refuse, He turned around and got on his horse and left first.

Ren Yaoqi propped her chin and blinked, thought for a while, but didn't move for a long time.

She didn't speak, none of the maids dared to move, and the carriage was still parked by the side of the road.

"Turn out from the alley in front and go to the back door of Dongsheng Teahouse." After a while, Ren Yaoqi ordered in a low voice.

The woman driving the carriage got the order and drove the carriage again.

Le Shan has a lively personality, so he couldn't help asking boldly: "Miss, what were you thinking just now?" Le Shui gave a warning stare.

Ren Yaoqi glanced at Leshan, smiled, and said nothing.

What she was thinking just now was that although Second Young Master Xiao didn't like riding a horse, the way he got on the horse was pretty good, and it looked like that. I don't know how long he practiced secretly before he didn't fall off the horse. Of course, Ren Yaoqi would not tell her maid about such things.

Xiao Jingxi may have made arrangements before coming to her. When Ren Yaoqi's carriage drove into the back door of Dongsheng Tea House, Tong He had already stood there waiting for her for a while.

Tong He led Ren Yaoqi up to the box on the second floor, where Xiao Jingxi was already waiting.

The servant girls were all guarding the outside room, Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jingxi who was standing in front of her half-truthfully and half-truthfully said: "Young Master Xiao, this seems unreasonable?" Although she had met Xiao Jingxi in private before , but that was something that needed to be discussed with him. At that time, Ren Yaoqi wanted to get out of the predicament and protect her family with all her heart, so she had time to pay attention to her reputation.

"You and I have a marriage contract, which is different from ordinary people." Xiao Jingxi thought of Ren Yaoqi who saw him standing and talking with Yan Ningshuang before. He didn't know if Ren Yaoqi said that on purpose. Still pretending to be calm and confident.

The folk customs in Yanbei are more open than those in the south, and they are more tolerant of men and women who are engaged in marriage. As long as they don't do things that exceed the rules, and they are accompanied by maids and women, they are not taboo to meet. Especially when it comes to the Shangsi Festival, Huachao Festival, and Lantern Festival, they will be allowed to travel together.

Ren Yaoqi glanced at him with a half-smile, but didn't say anything to refute him.

"I just wanted to go back to see you..." Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi, and suddenly muttered something in a low voice, showing a bit of grievance and remorse.

Ren Yaoqi was a little dumbfounded, but the unhappiness that she had tried her best to ignore that was stuck in her heart dissipated a lot.

Xiao Jingxi took a step forward and stood closer to Ren Yaoqi.

Ren Yaoqi was about to back away, but Xiao Jingxi reached out and hugged her first.

Ren Yaoqi blushed, struggled for a while and was afraid that people outside would hear the movement, so she could only whisper: "Let me go!"

"Don't let go..." Xiao Jingxi's low and hoarse voice with a smile rang in Ren Yaoqi's ear softly, which made her heart tremble, and her hands and feet felt weak all of a sudden.

"I was just anxious to see you, and I didn't avoid her for a while. Don't get angry with me for an irrelevant person, okay?" Xiao Jingxi whispered in Ren Yaoqi's ear.

Xiao Jingxi's clean and pleasant smell surrounded Ren Yaoqi everywhere, her heart beat like it was going to burst out of her chest, and even her mind was filled with "thumping" echoes, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help feeling ashamed and embarrassed. angry.

She tried to calm herself down, and when she was about to use all her strength to push him away so that she could breathe smoothly, she saw that Xiao Jingxi, who was holding her, had a very suspicious pink ear, and she paused. After a pause, he found that Xiao Jingxi's heartbeat was also very fast, not much worse than hers, even though he still had such a calm look on his face.

Ren Yaoqi wanted to laugh again, she sighed, and then said with a cold face: "Xiao Jingxi, if you don't let go, I will get angry."

This was the first time she called Xiao Jingxi by name and surname. Xiao Jingxi was stunned for a moment, then let her go obediently, but refused to take her eyes off.

Ren Yaoqi didn't avoid Xiao Jingxi's gaze this time, instead she looked at him seriously for a while, until she realized that Second Young Master Xiao was really nervous under his calm appearance, she said seriously: "I'm not angry with you. "

Xiao Jingxi looked at her and didn't speak.

Ren Yaoqi sighed, and then said: "Because I know that with your temperament, if you don't want to, even if Yan Ningshuang resorts to drastic means, she will not be able to do so."

Yan Ningshuang didn't know, but Ren Yaoqi knew very well that if Xiao Jingxi really didn't want to marry Yan Ningshuang, and if Yan Ningshuang still played tricks on him, Xiao Jingxi didn't mind letting her disappear from this world.

Xiao Jingxi's aggrieved, rascal, or domineering appearance just now is not the real him.

Although he would still be nervous in front of her and blush. RU
