However, Young Master Yun was still young and had only a vague understanding of such matters. He didn't know that the women the older boys were talking about were either concubines in his own homes or women from other brothels.
After returning home that day, the Second Young Master Yun thought all night about what gift to give that would please Ren Yaoqi. Of course, the Second Young Master Yun disdained to give her vulgar things such as gold, silver and jewelry. Finally, he remembered that when he was staying at the Yun family, he heard people say that the Third Master Ren and the Fifth Miss Ren asked people to collect paintings by the previous dynasty painter Wu Qinghong.
The next day, Young Master Yun asked his eldest brother to look for the painting. In the end, he borrowed the face of his father and brother and begged an uncle to buy it.
But what he didn't expect was that when he hurriedly sent someone to deliver the painting to her, the person who delivered the painting didn't even see Ren Yaoqi, and was ridiculed by her maid.
Yun Wenfang was furious, feeling that Ren Yaoqi was completely ungrateful. He was a man who cared about his reputation. After his warm welcome was met with disdain, he stopped sending gifts to Ren Yaoqi, figuring she might reflect and apologize.
Unfortunately, the ideal is good, but the reality is terrible. He did not see Ren Yaoqi again. However, he heard that Ren Yaoqi went to the Yanbei Palace every day, and Yun Wenfang could no longer sit still.
Ren Yaoqi watched Yun Wenfang's eyes shift with unpredictable emotion as she stared at her, realizing that this young master wasn't quite feeling up to the task. She felt a sharp headache.
Just as he was about to say something, Yun Wenting and Wu Yiyu came over.
Ren Yaoqi then gave them the opportunity to greet each other and quietly moved a step to the side.
Yun Wenting smiled and nodded politely. Wu Yiyu changed her usual domineering style and stood beside Yun Wenting with a gentle, respectful and modest look, her face flushed with shyness.
However, when she saw Ren Yaoqi and Yun Wenfang, Wu Yiyu took the time out of her busy schedule to look at them thoughtfully several times, but she didn't say anything.
Just as Ren Yaoqi was thinking about how to get out of this situation, Pingguo stepped forward, lowered her head and said expressionlessly, "Miss, I have something urgent to discuss with you."
Ren Yaoqi hurriedly said along the pole: "There is an urgent matter at home, I have to go back first." Then he knelt down and bowed, turned around and was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, Yun Wenfang moved and blocked Ren Yaoqi's way. He didn't say anything, but just looked at her coldly.
Ren Yaoqi frowned, feeling a little angry. She took a deep breath and was about to speak when a voice with a hint of laughter rang out from behind: "I heard that Zirui and Zishu are here. The princess waited for a long time but didn't see them, so she asked me to come out and take a look. So you are here."
Ren Yaoqi turned around and saw Ren Yaoqi standing not far behind them.
Seeing her looking over, his gaze paused slightly on her, then he turned away and said to Yun Wenting with a smile: "The princess and Jinglin are waiting in the Nine Sun Palace."
Yun Wenting came forward to greet Xiao Jingxi and said with a smile, "I was just about to go in. I'm sorry for keeping my aunt waiting. It's Zishu and I's fault."
Xiao Jingxi exchanged a few pleasantries with Yun Wenting and invited him into the inner hall. Seeing Yun Wenfang standing motionless in front of Ren Yaoqi, Xiao Jingxi turned around and smiled slightly: "Zishu?"
Yun Wenfang looked at Xiao Jingxi and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Yun Wenting: "Zishu. Didn't you just say that you missed the pastries in the princess's small kitchen?" The look he gave Yun Wenfang contained a hint of warning and severity.
Yun Wenfang pursed his lips, looked at Ren Yaoqi again, clenched his fists, and finally gave way and followed Yun Wenting.
When Wu Yiyu walked to Ren Yaoqi, she looked at her several times with suspicion and scrutiny in her eyes. Ren Yaoqi smiled calmly and nodded politely.
After they all left, Ren Yaoqi helped the maid into the carriage. As soon as the carriage curtain was lowered, the smile on Ren Yaoqi's face gradually faded, and a hint of fatigue appeared between her brows.

Ren Yaohua recuperated in the other courtyard for a few days. The injury on her foot was almost healed. Ren Yaoqi and Ren Shijia had visited her once before. On this day, when Ren Yaoqi took advantage of his free time to go to the other courtyard to see her, Ren Yaohua was already able to walk on her own.
