As soon as the door was opened, Ren Yaoqi smelled a hint of medicine. Mrs. Luo was lying on the bed because of her injuries, and there was an old woman sitting next to her.
Mrs. Luo was not asleep. She looked over when she heard the noise and was startled. The old woman sitting on the edge of the bed immediately stood up. When she saw Ren Yaoqi, she was surprised and happy. She hurried forward to greet her, "Is this Miss Ren Wu?"
Ren Yaoqi smiled and nodded: "Sister-in-law Zhu." Ren Yaoqi could tell from her facial features that this very old-looking woman was the mother of Zhu Ruomei and Zhu Ruoju.
Sister-in-law Zhu hurriedly pulled her daughter to kneel down and kowtow, but Ren Yaoqi quickly reached out to stop them.
Sister Zhu wanted to thank Ren Yaoqi for saving her life, but Ren Yaoqi was unwilling to accept her gift and tried to persuade her to stop.
"Mother, please take my sister and this girl to make some tea." Zhu Ruomei knew that Ren Yaoqi came here today for something, so she sent her mother and sister out.
Zhu's wife walked away, holding one of their daughters in each hand. Zhu Ruomei thought for a moment and retreated to the door. Although Xiao Jingxi remained silent, he didn't leave either.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at him and walked up to Mrs. Luo.
"What is your relationship with the Zhai family?" Ren Yaoqi's voice was calm and gentle, but it frightened Mrs. Luo so much that her face turned pale and she almost rolled off the bed. Then she looked at Ren Yaoqi in amazement.
Ren Yaoqi said this directly, and seeing Mrs. Luo's reaction, there was no doubt in her mind.
So she sat down on the chair in front of the bed. The chair was made of ordinary beech wood and had no cushion or cover on it, but Ren Yaoqi still sat there dignified and confident.
"Miss Fifth, Fifth Miss, I, your servant..." Mrs. Luo looked really scared, and her lips were trembling.
Ren Yaoqi sighed softly: "Now the Han family knows of your existence."
Mrs. Luo seemed to remember something that frightened her and shuddered again.
At that moment, the door creaked open, and Ren Yaoqi turned around to see Zhu Ruomei quietly retreat. However, Xiao Jingxi continued to sit leisurely at the eight-immortal table to the side, not taking the initiative to leave. Ren Yaoqi couldn't chase him away, and didn't know what he was thinking, so he could only pretend not to see it.
"Miss Wu, Miss Wu, can you please save my granddaughter?" Mrs. Luo cried for a long time.
Ren Yaoqi smiled slightly and repeated, "What is your relationship with the Zhai family?" She did not respond to Luo Pozi's request.
Ren Yaoqi stood in the corridor and looked towards the main house. The slightly scorching afternoon sun shone into the courtyard, and the golden light was evenly coated on the colorful flowers and lush greenery in the courtyard, making it seem less hot.
Chuchu, who was serving in the room, had been sent out early in the morning. Now only Li Ganrong and Xiao Jingxi were in the room. Ren Yaoqi speculated for a long time but still couldn't guess anything.
After finishing what she needed to say to Zhu Ruomei, Ren Yaoqi thought for a moment and told her maid to take Zhu Ruomei out for tea while she returned to her own room in the west wing. She also told Pingguo to keep an eye on the main room and call her when someone came out.
Xiao Jingxi didn't stay in the main room for long. After Ren Yaoqi sat on the kang and flipped through a book for a while, Pingguo came back.
"Mr. Xiao is coming out?" Ren Yaoqi asked, looking up.
"Sister Chuchu asked me to call the young lady over, saying that the old lady was calling for her." Apple replied.
Upon hearing this, Ren Yaoqi did not dare to delay and immediately got up and went out.
When they returned to the main room, Xiao Jingxi hadn't left yet, and Chuchu had come in to serve tea. They must have finished their conversation. Ren Yaoqi glanced at the people present without noticing anything, but couldn't tell.
Li Ganzheng and Xiao Jingxi chatted about music theory from time to time, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Speaking of Li Gan, the son of a dragon and a phoenix, while he may not have many other talents, he is extremely proficient in eating, drinking, playing, playing chess, calligraphy, and painting. This talent must have been inherited from his mother, Concubine Wan. Therefore, a long time ago, Ren Yaoqi's father, Ren Shimin, and Li Gan had a good relationship. Both of them were elegant and could chat with each other.
In this case, it is not surprising that the brilliant and talented Second Young Master Xiao can chat with Li Gan.
