After Xiao Jingxi finished speaking, he walked into the room, and Tongde and Tonghe followed him in with their heads lowered.
Tong He asked someone to wash Xiao Jingxi's hands and help him change his outer clothes. Tong De stood aside with his hands in his arms, but he was thinking in his heart, could it be that his master is also planning to let those people go this time?
Just as he was thinking this, Tongde heard Xiao Jingxi say calmly, "Send someone to tell Di Hao that the Wu family can leave a successor."
Tongde was stunned when he heard this and couldn't help but say, "Young Master, General Wu hasn't given birth to a son in all these years. I'm afraid..." If Wu Xiaohe can't give birth to a son, even if the Di family sends him ten or a hundred women, it won't work.
Xiao Jingxi glanced at Tongde with a smile, and said slowly: "This is something the Di family should worry about." After that, Xiao Jingxi went to the study.
Tongde stood there thinking for a while, and his expression suddenly became a little strange.
Tong He was about to follow and serve Xiao Jingxi, but when he reached Tong De, he paused and whispered, "Idiot! General Wu can't have a son, and there are plenty of people who can give birth for him. As long as the child has the surname Wu, it's all right. Why are you bothering about this for the Di family?"
After Tong He finished speaking, he left Tong De and walked quickly towards the study.
Tongde glanced at Tonghe's back, raised his hand to wipe his face, and thought to himself, Wu Xiaohe must be so unlucky in this life that he had to marry Xiao Wei and become the old princess's son-in-law, right?
It seems that you need to be cautious when marrying a wife! Tongde shook his head and went out.
After Ren Yaoqi returned to the Ren family, Old Lady Ren simply called her over to ask a few questions about her interactions with the princess. Because Ren Yaoqi had already dressed herself up before going to Ronghua Courtyard, leaving no room for clues, Old Lady Ren didn't question her for returning late.
Two days later, Ren Shimin returned from Yunyang City.
Ren Yaoqi took advantage of Ren Shimin's stay in Li's room to ask him about his time at Yunyang Academy. Ren Shimin's trip to Yunyang City was also quite fruitful. Not only did Xu Wanli appreciate his painting skills, but Xu Wanli also called in several famous painters to discuss calligraphy and painting together. Ren Shimin benefited greatly from this.
As Ren Yaoqi listened to Ren Shimin excitedly talking about what had happened in the past few days, a smile also appeared on his face.
Ren Shimin finally said somewhat embarrassedly: "Father also received an invitation from Mr. Xu. He invited me to teach at Yunyang Academy."
Ren Yaoqi's face showed just the right amount of surprise and astonishment: "Really, Daddy?"
Ren Shimin nodded. "But I declined at the time, citing my limited talent and knowledge as a reason to not mislead the students. Later, Mr. Xu invited me to participate in the literary competition in the capital next year. If I can win honor for Yanbei, then there's no reason to refuse his invitation."
Ren Yaoqi asked with a smile, "Dad, have you agreed to go to Kyoto?"
Upon hearing this, Ren Shimin looked at Ren Yaoqi strangely and said, "Of course. Mr. Xu invited me because he trusts me. How can I let him down as a father?" Ren Shimin understood the principle that a man will die for his confidant and a woman will dress up to please herself.
Ren Yaoqi blinked and teased, "But I remember Daddy went to Kyoto last year and said he wanted to participate in some kind of art exhibition, but he came back without painting anything. He also said that there were too many talented people in the capital and he didn't dare to show off."
Ren Shimin felt a little embarrassed when his daughter mentioned this. He coughed lightly and said, "I was superficial last time. This time, I will do my best."
