Ren Yaoying saw Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi coming out. No matter what she was thinking, she still smiled when she greeted them.
"Third sister's foot is finally healed. I feel relieved now."
Ren Yaohua glanced at her and curled the corners of his mouth: "Thank you for your concern. Aren't we going on a trip? Let's go."
Mrs. Fang had already boarded the carriage, and Fang Shuzhou was waiting beside it, accompanied by a servant leading the horse. It looked as if they were about to go on a horseback ride. Seeing the Ren sisters approach, he stepped forward to greet them.
Because Ren Yaohua was planning to come at the last minute. She hadn't prepared a carriage beforehand, and preparing one at the last minute would have made Ren Yaoying seem hypocritical. Fortunately, Madam Fang's carriage was large, so Ren Yaoqi, Ren Yaohua, and Ren Yaoying got in Madam Fang's carriage together.
Mrs. Fang saw the two people coming up and exchanged a few words with them with a smile. Ren Yaoqi observed her expression and saw that Mrs. Fang was a little absent-minded.
It seems that this trip to Yanbei was not as smooth as Mrs. Fang had expected. Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but smile slightly.
Ren Yaoqi's guess was not wrong. Mrs. Fang has indeed not been doing well recently.
Mrs. Lin San hadn't wanted to see her since the last incident, and she refused to accept any gifts. She also said she didn't want to accept gifts without merit, and that accepting gifts would lead to misunderstandings. Naturally, she couldn't get in touch with Yuan Changshi either.
Then there was the Yanbei Palace. She had met the Princess of Yanbei once before, introduced by her close friend. At that time, the Princess of Yanbei had spoken to her for a few minutes and asked her a few questions. She could tell that the Princess of Yanbei had a good impression of her.
But she hadn't had the chance to see the princess since then. She had her handkerchief clerk try to get in touch with her, but nothing came of it. Last time, she finally got word from the Yanbei Palace that the princess might be willing to meet her, but she waited for half a day and still didn't see anyone.
As for the other wealthy families in Yanbei, she would usually visit them with cordiality. She was willing to associate with the Fang family in Jiangnan, but building connections took time. If her husband couldn't come to Yanbei, these favors would gradually fade.
Seeing that the day for her return was getting closer, her husband had already written to her several times, but there was still no progress on her side. Even a steady woman like Mrs. Fang couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Over there, Ren Yaoying was whispering to Ren Yaoqi, "Fifth sister, you've been to Yunyang City for a while now, right? Have you been to Sun Moon Spring?"
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "I've heard of it, but I haven't had the chance to go. I heard that people in Yunyang City like to go to the nearby manors to avoid the cold in winter, but it's a pity that we didn't go there when it was too late."
Sun-Moon Spring is a hot spring outside the city of Yunyang. Many families have built villas around the Sun-Moon Spring and introduced the spring water from the Spring, making it relatively warm there in winter.
Ren Yaoying smiled and said, "We're going to Sun Moon Spring today. Mrs. Zhou has a dowry farm nearby, so we specially invited my cousin. Actually, it's not just a great place to visit in winter; it's also very enjoyable to visit in the summer."
Mrs. Zhou was Liu's close friend. Her husband was a clerk in the Yanbei Palace. Although he was just a small official without a rank, he was somewhat respectable because he could show up in the prince's study.
Land is very expensive near the Sun-Moon Spring. Mrs. Zhou's dowry farm is not big and is quite far away from the Sun-Moon Spring. However, this farm is a rare honor given to her by her parents.
The carriage stopped in front of the farm. A maid was already waiting at the door. When she saw Liu and the other sisters from the Ren family get off the carriage, she came forward and led them inside.
