Ren Yaoqi thought for a moment, then nodded with a smile, saying, "Miss Yan's concerns are quite reasonable. I'll go back and ask the princess to see if we can make some further arrangements. You ladies have come all the way to Yanbei and are our honored guests. You should be properly accommodated no matter what."

Yan Ningshuang didn't say anything else.

After Miss Zhou rested for a while and Doctor Liu said that she was not seriously injured, Ren Yaoqi and Madam Xu arranged for someone to send Miss Zhou and the other ladies off the houseboat.

When getting on the carriage, Xiao Jingxi, Pei Zhiqian and others came over. Although Ren Yaoqi had already sent someone to tell them about the matter, they also asked about it again in person.

Miss Zhou and the other ladies left first in a carriage, with Yan Ningshuang and Yun Qiuchen following behind.

Yan Ningshuang looked at Pei Zhiyan, then at Xiao Jingxi: "So Mr. Xiao's distinguished guest is actually Mr. Pei?"

Pei Zhiyan smiled slightly and said casually, "We met when Second Young Master Xiao went to the capital before. It just so happened that the two old friends were here today, so we got together for a small gathering."

Yan Ningshuang's gaze swept across Ren Yaoqi's face, and she smiled, and said with some surprise and curiosity: "An old friend? Miss Ren too? This is a bit surprising."

Pei Zhiyan raised his eyebrows, his smile gentle and elegant, his demeanor graceful: "Miss Ren? Isn't Miss Ren the host? She is just entertaining guests. After all, besides us, there is also Madam Xu, a female member of the family, on the pleasure boat."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but smile. Although Pei Zhiyan might just be speaking up for Yan Ningshuang because she wanted to drag him into the water and was feeling unhappy, she still felt warm in her heart.

Yan Ningshuang seemed to want to ask something else, but Xiao Jingxi said, "The carriage is here. Ladies, please go back to the villa first. I'll have some doctors take your pulses later. If you're sick, it's better to get treatment as soon as possible."

Xiao Jingxi's voice was gentle and his face was smiling. Yan Ningshuang glanced at him. She didn't know if it was because his smile was too beautiful, but her face turned red. But because of this one glance, she was reluctant to look away, so naturally she didn't think carefully about Xiao Jingxi's words.

Ren Yaoqi's face was a little strange after hearing this. Wasn't Xiao Jingxi really just insulting him? Thinking about the second son Xiao, who was always elegant and graceful in front of others, Ren Yaoqi felt that he might be overthinking it.

Yun Qiuchen smiled and said, "I'll go to the Yanbei Palace and explain today's events to the princess."

Xiao Jingxi glanced at her, his gentle smile unchanged. "Thank you for your hard work today, Miss Yun. However, you have been with Miss Yan and the others for so long today, you must be tired. You should go back and rest first. Madam Xu and Miss Ren can go see the princess."
