Old Lady Ren felt that the Princess's attitude towards Ren Yaoqi represented the Yanbei Palace's attitude towards the Ren family. Therefore, she was very concerned about the Yanbei Princess's attitude towards Ren Yaoqi. Now that the Princess was about to return, with the Princess around, the Princess would certainly not be able to refuse the Princess's face and refuse to see Ren Yaoqi. Old Lady Ren was about to relax a little.
The Maidong family received the good news and went back to Baihe Town to find Old Lady Ren with satisfaction.
After she left, Ren Yaoqi told Pingguo, "Go ask Madam Zhou to prepare a car. I need to go out."
Apple asked, "Where did the maid say the young lady was going?"
Apple didn't ask "Where are you going, Miss?" but "This servant said where are you going, Miss." It can be seen that although this maid looks stupid, she is not really stupid.
Ren Yaoqi thought for a moment and said, "Just say I want to go to my grandmother's house again."
Apple responded and went down.
Ren Yaoqi went to Li's place to ask for instructions, and happened to meet Ren Yaoying crying in Li's room.
Aunt Fang disappeared and Ren Yaoying panicked.
When Ren Shimao sent someone over before, she secretly heard people talking about how Aunt Fang had poisoned the Fifth Madam and Ren Yaoying, and when the Fifth Master found out, she was afraid of retaliation and so she fled.
No matter what others said, Ren Yaoying would never believe that Concubine Fang had escaped like that. Concubine Fang would not be willing to hand her and Ren Yihong over to Li.
So Ren Yaoying came to ask Li to send someone to look for Concubine Fang. She didn't know who she heard that the Fifth Master and the Fifth Madam were also looking for Concubine Fang and wanted her life. She didn't want to see Concubine Fang die outside, but she didn't dare to ask her father for help, so she had no choice but to come to her stepmother. In her impression, her stepmother Li was generally easy to talk to.
But Li couldn't make the final decision on this matter. She couldn't decide what would happen to Concubine Fang after she was found, so she just comforted Ren Yaoying softly. But she refused to ask for help from the Third Master Ren. After all, she knew Ren Shimin's temper. If she did, Ren Shimin would blame her for not knowing right from wrong.
So Ren Yaoying stayed in the main room and started crying.
When Ren Yaoqi passed by, Ren Yaohua happened to arrive after hearing the news. She asked several maids to help Ren Yaoying go back to her room to rest.
After Ren Yaoying was helped down crying, Ren Yaoqi said that he wanted to go out.
Li was a little surprised to hear that Ren Yaoqi was going to his maternal grandparents' house again. Ren Yaoqi had been going to his maternal grandparents' house more frequently.
Ren Yaoqi also wanted to find a better excuse to go out, but she really couldn't think of one, so she could only use the excuse of going to her grandparents' house again.
Fortunately, Mrs. Li did not suspect anything. She just gave her a few instructions and let her go.
After getting on the carriage, Ren Yaoqi followed the route from last time. He first arranged for someone to go to Fumanlou to buy snacks, and then asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the same teahouse as last time.
As soon as he entered through the back door, Ren Yaoqi saw Tongxi waiting in the yard again.
Seeing Ren Yaoqi come in, Tongxi hurried forward to pay his respects, and then said, "Miss, please follow me."
Ren Yaoqi nodded and followed Tongxi without saying anything.
Tongxi did not take Ren Yaoqi upstairs this time. He took Ren Yaoqi out through a more hidden side door. Outside the side door was an inconspicuous green tent carriage parked.
Ren Yaoqi arranged for Sang Zhen to stay in the teahouse to take care of things, and she took Apple and got on the carriage.
Tongxi jumped onto the shaft and drove the carriage out of the alley.
After exiting the alley, the carriage drove back to Zhengyang Street.
Ren Yaoqi sat in the carriage for about a quarter of an hour. He felt the carriage slowly slow down and finally entered a house.
"Miss. We're here." Tongxi whispered outside.
Pingguo first lifted the curtain and got off the carriage, then turned around and helped Ren Yaoqi get off.
Ren Yaoqi looked around the house and found it to be very ordinary. There was no one in the outer courtyard when he first entered.
"Miss, follow me." Tongxi led the way.
Ren Yaoqi nodded and followed him into the second gate.
