Since so many people in the Qu family died, something big must have happened. If that were the case, Dongsheng might know about it. Although they were not from Yanbei, they knew a lot of things that the people of Yanbei did not know.
Dongsheng thought about it carefully after hearing this, but still shook his head: "Sister, are you sure the Qu family is a big family? Why don't you have any impression of it? Logically, Yanbei's prominent families should be known, even if they were from decades ago."
Dongsheng was very confident about this. In terms of martial arts, perhaps even Yihong and the others were better than him, but when it came to socializing and the rules of aristocratic families, he was the most proficient. And he had the genealogy of all the great and prestigious families in Yanbei memorized.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Even Dongsheng couldn't remember that there was a Qu family?
"Maybe it's not a prominent family." Ren Yaoqi was uncertain.
"Maybe it was a few decades ago when the Liao people were rampant, and some families suffered disasters and disappeared completely, and no one wrote them down. But I really can't remember it for the time being. Why don't you go back and think about it carefully? I remember that there seemed to be some local chronicles recording the past history of Yanzhou in the second young master's study. I should go back and see if I can find anything." Dongsheng saw that Ren Yaoqi was disappointed and couldn't help but comfort him.
Ren Yaoqi nodded. Local chronicles like these usually record major local events. If the Qu family really was from Yanbei, they should be able to find some clues.
At this time, someone else entered the backyard. Ren Yaoqi turned around and was stunned to see that it was Xiao Jingxi who walked in.
Seeing Ren Yaoqi and Dongsheng talking, Xiao Jingxi was not surprised nor did he look unhappy.
He walked over slowly, looked at Ren Yaoqi and smiled faintly at her: "Fifth Sister Ren."
"Second Young Master Xiao." Ren Yaoqi knelt down hurriedly to salute.
Mrs. Mo brought the tea over, placed it respectfully on the table, and then bowed and left.
Xiao Jingxi walked to a pot of gentian, gently lifted a newly sprouted young leaf with his right index finger, and bent down to take a closer look.
Ren Yaoqi stood in front of a pot of wood orchid not far from him, watching his actions silently.
"The Su family sent an invitation to the Han family, inviting them to work with the Su family and several other families to prepare for the dragon boat race outside Yunyang City on the Dragon Boat Festival next month." Xiao Jingxi turned to look at Ren Yaoqi with a faint smile.
After Ren Yaoqi was stunned for a moment, his mind started working quickly.
Yunyang City holds dragon boat races every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, but the organizers of these races are several of Yanzhou's leading families. Yes, it's a symbol of a family's strength. The Ren family competed for this qualification last year, but ultimately failed to secure it.
The Su family was the organizer of the first dragon boat race and could be considered the initiator of the event. The Su family's invitation was very important.
Regardless of the Han family's true strength, the Han family has a shallow foundation and acts low-key. Logically, this kind of thing should not happen to the Han family.
So the Su family's purpose in doing this is actually to have other purposes?
The Han family’s coal mine...this was the reason that Ren Yaoqi thought of.
The Su family decided to take action?
"Sister Ren Wu, do you know the reason?" Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi and asked with a smile.
Ren Yaoqi looked up at Xiao Jingxi. She always felt that there was something else in Xiao Jingxi's smile. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
