Ren Yaoqi was thinking with his head down when a figure flashed in from outside. Ren Yaoqi looked up and saw that it was an attendant of Xiao Jingxi whom he had met before.
The man saw the mess in the boat without any anxious or worried look on his face. He calmly walked to Xiao Jingxi's side and whispered a few words in his ear.
Ren Yaoqi was very close to Xiao Jingxi, but he only heard words like "Prince" and "arrangement".
Xiao Jinglin also looked over, but didn't ask any questions.
After listening to the report from his attendant, Xiao Jingxi just nodded. After a moment's silence, he said to Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin, "I need to go downstairs to take care of some things. You two should get off the boat with me."
Xiao Jinglin nodded. Ren Yaoqi naturally had no objection.
Dongsheng was also waiting outside. When he saw his masters coming out, he hurriedly walked in front with another attendant to clear the way. Although the boat was still a little bumpy, it was no longer difficult for several people to walk.
They did not take the two planks that others had squeezed onto to get ashore, but instead boarded a pleasure boat that had been docked at the side of the ship at some point from the side facing the river.
The pleasure boat went a little further away to avoid the chaotic crowd on the river bank before approaching the shore.
While sitting on the pleasure boat, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but look at the river again. There were already boats rowing over to help rescue those who fell into the water and were injured, but Ren Yaoqi's eyes stayed on the several colorful dragon heads that had broken away from the boat and were floating on the river. Suddenly, he had an idea.
But she didn't say anything, just turned her head away as if nothing had happened. She didn't expect to see Xiao Jingxi's thoughtful eyes when she looked away. Xiao Jingxi met her gaze, smiled slightly, and looked away, whispering to Xiao Jinglin.
Ren Yaoqi looked at him a few times, and finally lowered his head.
When they got ashore, people from the Yanbei Palace were already waiting there. When they saw Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin, they hurried over to greet them.
Xiao Jingxi glanced at Xiao Jinglin, then looked at Ren Yaoqi, and said with a smile: "It's a bit chaotic here, why don't you go back home first, I'll have someone take you back."
Xiao Jinglin thought about it, but shook his head and said, "I'll go with you to see father." He then looked at Ren Yaoqi and said, "Yaoqi, we'll have someone take you home."
Ren Yaoqi smiled and said, "If you have anything to do, go ahead and do it. My grandmother is still at the table over there. I need to go and say hello to her so that she won't worry. The Ren family will also have a carriage coming today. I will go back with my family. Don't worry about me."
After watching Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin walk away, Ren Yaoqi nodded to Dongsheng who stayed to see her off and said, "Let's go see grandma."
Rong was indeed very worried about Ren Yaoqi, and she was waiting on the shore with a maid. When she saw Ren Yaoqi appear, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She held her hand and looked at her and said, "You didn't get on the boat, did you? I asked Chuchu to find you on the boat." Chuchu was the maid who came with Rong. She was not very old and knew some fighting skills.
Ren Yaoqi shook her head: "I'm fine." She turned around and found that Dongsheng, who had brought her here, had quietly retreated. He must have felt ashamed to meet his old master.
Rong had brought two maids with her today. Seeing that Ren Yaoqi was fine, she wanted to wait for Chuchu to return before leaving. However, Ren Yaoqi looked at the high platform not far away. Although some people had left, some family heads still stayed and helped Prince Li's Mansion and the Su family to arrange the scene.
At this time, Xiangqin, the maidservant beside Ren Yaohua, came over and said, "Fifth sister, I'm glad you're okay. Third sister has been looking for you everywhere. The Ren family's carriage is about to go back."
Rong said, "In that case, you should go back with your grandmother and the others."
Ren Yaoqi was preoccupied with something, so after a moment's hesitation, she nodded in agreement: "Grandmother, please go back too. I'll be staying in Yunyang City for a few more days. When I'm free, I'll go visit you and Grandfather with my sister." (To be continued.) This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
