Feng Mo paused, speechless.
Feng Xin pursed her lips, realizing for the first time that her own brother was also quite unkind.
She said somewhat displeasedly, "No matter what, you bear an undeniable responsibility for Rong Qingqing's current predicament. It's quite unkind of you to say such things." After saying that, she stood up and said, "I'm going back."
Seeing this, Feng Mo couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
Why did my sister's attitude towards Rong Qingqing change after only two encounters?
He remembered that in the past, she also disliked Rong Qingqing very much, finding fault with her and looking down on her.
What exactly did Rong Qingqing do to cause Feng Xin's attitude towards her to change so drastically?
He stood up, intending to go out of the palace to find Rong Qingqing, but remembering the unpleasant parting in front of the Prime Minister's residence last time, he frowned and gave up the idea.
...
When Rong Qingqing arrived at Jinxiu Clothing Shop from Zhenfu Division, it was almost noon. She then took Aqi, Xiaotao, Manager Liu, and several embroiderers to Wangchun Tower for a meal.
The shop has been under renovation these past few days, and Manager Liu and the embroiderers have worked very hard. She specially asked Manager Xu to prepare a table full of dishes to reward them.
Seeing the table full of delicious dishes, Manager Liu and the embroiderers were all somewhat surprised.
Manager Liu was alright, as she had eaten a lavish meal before. However, the embroiderers were different; they rarely ate such a sumptuous meal. Surprised, they were filled with gratitude towards Rong Qingqing and became even more determined to work hard in the shop.
"Thank you all for your hard work these past few days. We'll probably be busy again starting tomorrow, so please eat well today." Rong Qingqing said, having Xiao Tao pour wine for everyone. Then, raising her glass, she smiled and said, "Let's all have a drink together. I hope we can all enjoy working together. Cheers!"
Everyone raised their glasses and laughed, "Cheers!"
Everyone happily drank their wine to the last drop, except for Ah Qi, who only took a small sip.
Rong Qingqing saw this and asked with a smile, "Aqi, do you not drink alcohol?"
Ah Qi shook his head and said truthfully, "I don't know, I haven't drunk any alcohol."
"Oh, I see. Since you've just started drinking, you should drink less and not get drunk," Rong Qingqing reminded her.
This morning, after witnessing his extraordinary martial arts skills in front of the Marquis's mansion, Rong Qingqing already regarded him as a treasure and had a plan in mind.
What followed was unpredictable and volatile; if she wanted to escape unscathed, she would need someone to protect her.
Anyway, she has money, so she needs to secretly maintain her own bodyguard team, and Ah Qi is the best candidate.
She put some food on Ah Qi's plate, and then suddenly remembered something.
In the morning, Xie Jingrun had told her in front of the Zhenfusi Gate that she should go back to the mansion for lunch. She thought Xie Jingrun was a troublemaker, but she still asked Manager Xu to instruct the cook to prepare a few dishes and send them back to the Weiyuan Marquis's mansion.
The Marquis of Weiyuan's residence.
Xie Jingrun returned to his residence on time at noon.
I thought I would be able to eat the meal prepared by Rong Qingqing as usual, but when I arrived at the front hall, it was completely empty. There was no food, and not even a trace of Rong Qingqing.
His face was somewhat gloomy. Did Rong Qingqing not hear what he said, or was she deliberately standing him up?
Just as they were about to send someone to find Rong Qingqing, Steward Tian walked in from outside with several servants, each carrying a food box.
"My lord, these are the dishes that the old lady had Wangchunlou send back to you."
When Steward Tian saw him, he immediately stepped forward and reported.
