Ren Yaoqi said to Rong, "Grandma, can I go for a walk in the yard?"

Rong Shi didn't know if she saw the interaction between the master and servant, but she smiled tolerantly: "If you want to go shopping, go ahead. Let Chuchu follow you."

Ren Yaoqi looked at the two little girls and said with a smile, "Let them follow me. I'll be back soon. She can't be left alone with you."

Yihong was her uncle Li Tianyou's concubine, and Chuchu was the only one who served Rong Shi personally. There were also a few maids who were bought later, but they served outside and were not close to her. Prince Xian and Rong Shi only used old people as their personal servants.

Ren Yaoqi came out of Rong's room. Xiangqin looked at the two maids with some curiosity. Seeing that Ren Yaoqi didn't send them away, she continued, "Miss, Pingguo brought people here. They came in through the back door and are in the backyard."

Ren Yaoqi nodded, and without saying a word, she took a few maids to the backyard.

In fact, Ren Yaoqi had other things to do before going out today. For example, after she went out, she sent Ping Guo away to find Zhu Ruomei.

Although Zhu Ruomei spent most of his time at the White Dragon Temple, he worked for Xiao Jingxi and had recently bought a small courtyard in Yunyang City, bringing his mother and sister over. Ren Yaoqi had previously learned of Dongsheng's address and knew he'd been in Yunyang City recently, so he asked Pingguo to invite someone over to meet him.

It was inconvenient to meet Zhu Ruomei at the Lin family, but it was much more convenient when we arrived at King Xian's territory.

Two maids followed closely behind. Xiang Qin looked back and asked in a low voice, "Miss, who are they?"

Ren Yaoqi said, "I asked my grandmother to find these maids for me. I'll keep them here for now."

Xiangqin didn't understand why the Fifth Miss had to go through her maternal grandmother's house to find a maid instead of bringing her back to the Ren family. However, she was also a maid, so it was not appropriate to ask too much about this matter. Therefore, she wisely did not ask any more questions.

While Ren Yaoqi was at peace, Leshan and Leshui were not so lucky. Xiangqin, relying on her status as the favored head maid, began to act arrogantly in front of the two younger maids.

"You guys are walking with such wide strides! If Madam Zhou sees you, she'll spank you!"

"Tsk, I told you to take smaller steps, not to walk slowly. If you can't even walk properly, Madam Zhou will definitely not be satisfied."

"Why are you so stupid? You must learn the rules from now on, otherwise Madam Zhou won't allow you to follow the Fifth Young Miss! You can't just become a maidservant to the Young Miss if you want to!"

…

So Le Shan and Le Shui understood one thing before they followed Ren Yaoqi: the maids around the young lady were so majestic, and there was also a Nanny Zhou who was very scary. As long as they did anything wrong, they would not be allowed to follow the young lady.

The girl Xiangqin successfully showed off her power in front of the younger generation and also made Madam Zhou bear the bad reputation for her.

When Ren Yaoqi arrived at the backyard, Pingguo had already taken Zhu Ruomei to the west wing to drink tea. Although Pingguo and Zhu Ruomei were the only two people in the west wing with the door open when Ren Yaoqi approached, Chunsheng was in the courtyard with his two monkey-like children, sweeping the yard and doing somersaults.

Ren Yaoqi knew the special nature of Prince Xian's mansion, so she could only take the people to the backyard. Zhu Ruomei couldn't go any further inside. Although Chunsheng was sweeping the courtyard, he could see all the movements in the west wing.

Until they saw Ren Yaoqi coming, Chunsheng and his two children saluted Ren Yaoqi from a distance, and then stood farther away, but still in the backyard.

I don't know who's rehearsing a piece from "The Hate of Life and Death." I can only hear the voice, but I can't see the person. The humming and groaning, coupled with the constant sounds of the erhu and zither, creates a vague, unreal, and lively atmosphere.

Zhu Ruomei was listening intently, her fingers pointing at the coffee table. When she looked up and saw Ren Yaoqi coming in, she quickly stood up and saluted.

Ren Yaoqi smiled and nodded, indicating that Zhu Ruomei didn't need to be polite, and then sat in the main seat.

Le Shan and Le Shui consciously stayed outside the door, each acting as a door god. Xiang Qin thought about it and decided not to follow in. After all, she was the third lady's maid, not the fifth lady's.
