Ren Yaoqi smiled and said, "Although Seventh Sister is a little difficult to get along with on a daily basis, she is also very easy to coax. The last time she came to our yard, I comforted her well, and she somehow became close to me."
Ren Yaohua was a little unconvinced and glanced at Ren Yaoqi and asked, "How did you comfort her?"
Ren Yaoqi blinked and said seriously, "Of course it's the bad words she says about the people she hates."
Ren Yaohua was stunned, then she remembered that the person Ren Yaoting hated the most at that time seemed to be her...
After Ren Yaohua figured it out, she was about to curse, but Ren Yaoqi had already cleverly stepped back several steps from her, making faces at her: "Who asked you to show disrespect to the guests who came to our house? I'm trying to help you smooth things over. And I've already told you, so this isn't badmouthing behind your back! It's just a roundabout way of doing things! You have to behave like a sister. Don't lose your temper and scold me!"
Then, Ren Yaoqi very wisely ran away with his people.
Ren Yaohua looked at Ren Yaoqi's back as he ran away, gritting his teeth in anger.
The maids behind her saw that Ren Yaohua was angry. For some reason, they didn't feel the tension they had seen when they saw the two sisters fighting each other before. They just thought it was a little funny that the fifth sister was always deliberately bullying the third sister, so they all suppressed their laughter and looked down at their feet.
Although Ren Yaohua felt a little angry, it wasn't the kind of anger that made her want to slap Ren Yaoqi twice when she saw her before. She just felt a little frustrated and helpless, with no place to vent her anger.
After returning to her room and changing her clothes, Ren Yaoqi went to the main room to find Madam Zhou. She wanted to ask Madam Zhou about the Qu family in Yanzhou.
Although Nanny Zhou had come to Yanbei from the capital with her maternal grandfather's family over a decade earlier, the people at Prince Xian's mansion had undoubtedly thoroughly investigated the various families in Yanbei since their arrival. The harder life got, the more cautious one had to be.
"The Qu family?" Nanny Zhou filtered through all the wealthy families in Yanbei that she knew in her mind, and for a moment she seemed unable to remember the existence of such a family.
Ren Yaoqi reminded him, "About forty or fifty years ago, the wealthy families in Yanzhou may have suffered some disasters later on."
Nanny Zhou thought about it carefully again and shook her head. "I don't remember such a family. However, most of the ones I know of are still prominent families in Yanbei. I may not be familiar with some families that have fallen on hard times. You have to know that forty or fifty years ago, Yanbei was at the height of the Liao banditry. Many of the prominent families who didn't have time to retreat to the south suffered, and quite a few were exterminated by the Liao. The current aristocratic families like the Yun and Qiu families only moved back after the Liao were driven out of Yanbei. For example, the Lei family, who recently moved from Muzhou to Yanzhou, are a popular topic outside. They were once as famous as the Yun family, with an even longer history than the Qiu family. However, the Lei family has not been seen in decades, and only recently did I hear that they were moving back. Many families who refused to leave back then no longer have even their ancestral graves."
The Lei family? Ren Yaoqi thought about it carefully, but she didn't seem to have any impression of it. Perhaps the old family had declined significantly after so many years of migration, so she had no impression of it.
