Ren Yaoqi nodded when he heard this, but he felt a little emotional in his heart.
She hadn't had much contact with Zhu Ruomei, and her help to him was just a small favor. But Zhu Ruomei was a man who truly valued friendship.
The two things she instructed Zhu Ruomei to do were both confusing and strange. If it were an ordinary person, hearing such instructions from a half-grown child, they would definitely be suspicious. But Zhu Ruomei agreed both times, not giving in to her age.
After asking a few questions, Ren Yaoqi let Pingguo go downstairs to rest, and waited patiently for Zhu Ruomei's response the next day.
On the afternoon of the next day, news came from Sister Yuan. Ren Yaoqi knew that the matter she had asked Zhu Ruomei to do must have been resolved.
However, ever since Li had told Ren Yaoqi not to go out and meet people, Ren Yaoqi hadn't met anyone from the outer courtyard in person. Although she really wanted to ask about Zhu Ruomei's matter in person, she didn't want Li to worry about her because of such a thing.
So in the end, Ren Yaoqi still gave Pingguo some instructions and sent her to the outer courtyard to meet Sister Yuan.
Mrs. Yuan secretly took the apple to see Zhu Ruomei.
More than half an hour passed before Apple returned to Ziweiyuan.
Ren Yaoqi sent all the maids and servants away: "Have you asked everything I told you to do before?"
Pingguo nodded. Without waiting for Ren Yaoqi to ask, she began to report, "He, like you instructed, masked himself and waited outside the city. When Sister Wen's donkey cart reached a secluded spot outside the city, he used a slingshot to stun the driver, who then climbed aboard. Sister Wen initially thought he was a bandit out to rob her, so she gave him fifty taels of silver and the gold hairpin on her head. He pretended to be indifferent to the money, as if he was only interested in killing her. Sister Wen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly seemed to understand something and started cursing."
Ren Yaoqi asked with great interest, "Who was she scolding? What did she scold?"
This was the purpose of having Zhu Ruomei deliberately kill Mrs. Wen, wanting her to think that someone was secretly trying to silence her.
Although Ren Yaoqi was still unclear about the relationship between Sister Wen, Lin Kun, and Aunt Fang, since Sister Yuan was somewhat unwilling to leave, she must have had a conflict with someone or was coerced by someone.
Although Ren Yaoqi's actions were somewhat risky, it was still a good way to alert the enemy in the absence of information.
"Mrs. Wen's first question was to ask if it was Mr. Lin Liu who sent him to kill her and silence her!" Ping Guo answered, wiping the beads of sweat on her forehead because she had rushed back in too much of a hurry.
