"Did fifth cousin just come out from my great-aunt's yard?" Qiu Yun asked with a distant smile in his elegant demeanor.
The Qiu family is an old and established family in Yanbei. Now Qiu Yun's grandfather's family is the direct line of the Qiu family. Although Qiu Yun is the third among the grandchildren, his father is the eldest son of the head of the Qiu family, and he is the only son of the eldest son, so he can be said to have a good family background.
Therefore, whether in the Qiu family or the Ren family, Qiu Yun was a figure who was always admired by everyone and was highly respected by his brothers and sisters of the same generation.
Ren Yaoqi had disliked Qiu Yun in his previous life. In front of others, he acted like a refined and elegant gentleman. But when he was behind others' backs, he would always stand aside and watch Yun Wenfang have fun with her, smiling, while he was responsible for keeping watch.
She hated Yun Wenfang so much that she wanted to step on her, but she hated Qiu Yun so much that she didn't even want to be associated with him.
"Yes, third cousin. Grandmother must be very happy to know you are coming." Ren Yaoqi smiled back at him and replied quietly. Her smile was more perfect than his and her posture was more proper than his.
After she said this, she lowered her head and turned sideways, politely letting them pass first.
Qiu Yun looked at him with some surprise.
Yun Wenfang, who was standing next to him, chuckled and placed his hand on Qiu Yun's shoulder. He leaned halfway towards the side, but his eyes were sizing up Ren Yaoqi playfully: "Jin Yuan, is this your cousin with a weird temper from before? She doesn't look like her."
He didn't look like a young man from an aristocratic family, but rather a playboy who played around with the world. Fortunately, he was young and good-looking, so he didn't look too unpleasant.
Qiu Yun clenched his fist awkwardly and coughed softly, "Zishu, you remembered it wrongly. Those were the words of Yuan Hui's cousin."
Yun Wenfang glanced at Qiu Yun with a smile and then looked at Ren Yaoqi, wanting to see if she was as easily angered as Qiu Yun. However, he saw that she was standing there with her head lowered, without even raising her eyes, as if she had not heard his teasing at all.
Their attitude was polite yet distant, making them seem a little bored.
Yun Wenfang raised his eyebrows slightly. For some reason, Ren Yaoqi's expression made him feel very uncomfortable.
Although this was their first meeting and Ren Yaoqi had done nothing wrong, he just felt unhappy.
Maybe it's just as Ren Yaoqi thought, some people are just not meant to get along.
So he turned to Qiu Yun and winked, saying, "Since we've met your cousin, we don't need him to lead the way?" He was referring to Yang Cheng, the manager of the outer courtyard who had led them in.
When Yun Wen was in the Yun family, he was a person who did everything according to his own will. Now that he is in someone else's territory, he has not realized that he should restrain himself.
The steward Yang Cheng looked up at Ren Yaoqi, then at Qiu Yun, and finally lowered his head obediently, saying that he was just a servant and would obey his masters' orders in everything.
Seeing the smile on Yun Wenfang's face, Qiu Yun knew that his mischievous nature had returned, and he couldn't help but feel a little helpless. They were classmates, and he knew Yun Wenfang quite well. He knew that when he wanted to cause trouble, even ten oxen couldn't stop him.
But... he looked at Ren Yaoqi, and for some reason he felt that his fifth cousin was a little different today than before.
Ren Yaoqi then looked up and nodded to Yang Cheng without changing his expression, "Manager Yang, please go back. Since I have met this guest, it is only right that I take him to the elders to pay his respects."
