She tried every possible way to get Ren Shimin to leave the Ren family and go to Yunyang Academy, but it was not for the purpose of getting the two elders of the Ren family to give face to the Fang family. It was not up to them to decide who came and who stayed.
As for the Fang family and Fang Yacun... there will always be a time to settle accounts with them.
Ren Yaoqi raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua stayed in Yunyang City for a few days. During these days, Ren Yaoqi received a piece of accurate news from Prince Xian's Mansion: the imperial court had indeed appointed a new Ningxia general, whose surname was Zeng.
However, there was still no news about Xiao Jingxi. Seeing that Ren Shimin was going back to Baihe Town tomorrow, Ren Yaoqi's heart, which had been slowly letting go, began to lift again.
One day, Lei Paner finally returned from visiting friends with her second uncle. She learned that the Ren family had sent her a letter inviting her to visit the Ren family villa, so she came over the next day.
Ren Yaoqi happened to have gone to Baoping Hutong and hadn't met him. She was going back to Baihe Town the next day and wanted to ask Rong Shi to let her know if they heard anything about Xiao Jingxi. At this moment, Ren Yaoqi no longer had the energy to consider avoiding suspicion or not.
Ren Yaoqi went to Baoping Hutong in the afternoon and came out in the evening. It was a rare sunny day without even a trace of wind.
Ren Yaoqi's carriage passed through the crisscrossing alleys of Baoping Hutong. Ren Yaoqi leaned against the wall of the carriage, frowning and thinking about something. Her hand casually picked up a book on the small table. When she was about to open it, she saw a shriveled piece of grass fall out from the pages.
Ren Yaoqi was stunned. Only after he took the "grass" in his hand did he recognize it as a daylily. Daylilies are edible after being smoked and dried. The difference between this one and the one Ren Yaoqi had received from Xiao Jingxi before was that this one had been smoked and was edible.
Daylily is also known as worry-free grass. Ren Yaoqi thought of the angelica roots she had sent to the Yanbei Palace before, and she couldn't help but feel happy. She asked Pingguo, "Was the carriage parked outside the door just now?" She remembered that when she was at her grandparents' house just now, she got on the carriage after going out.
Apple nodded, "Yes, miss."
Ren Yaoqi shouted "Stop the car".
The carriage slowly stopped by the roadside.
Ren Yaoqi asked the driving woman through the carriage curtain: "Did anyone approach the carriage when it stopped outside just now?"
The coachwoman thought Ren Yaoqi was blaming her for being lazy and running around, so she hurriedly said, "Fifth Miss, I didn't see anyone approaching the carriage, but I went to the toilet on the way, so I don't know if anyone came by during that time."
At this time, the sound of carriage wheels rolling came from behind, and a carriage was coming.
Ren Yaoqi didn't care at first, but when he heard the old woman driving the carriage outside exclaim, he realized that the carriage seemed to be parked next to his own.
Ren Yaoqi suddenly felt something. She sat up straight and wanted to lift the curtain, but she stopped the moment her hand touched the curtain.
At this moment, Ren Yaoqi heard three dull knocking sounds coming from the wall of the carriage next to him.
Ren Yaoqi thought about it and reached out to lift the curtain a little to look out. Unexpectedly, what was parked next to him was a very ordinary elm carriage, which was not from the Yanbei Palace.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help feeling a little disappointed and was about to lower the curtain.
