"What are you thinking about?" Rong Shi saw that Ren Yaoqi had not spoken for a long time, so she waved her hand in front of her and asked.
Ren Yaoqi came back to his senses and smiled: "Nothing, just a moment of distraction."
She wanted to ask whether Rong resented the Yanbei Palace and Xiao Jingxi, but then she thought that there was nothing to ask. Just look at the attitude of the Xian Palace now.
The Xian Palace and the Yanbei Palace were two political factions, capable of either cooperation or opposition, depending entirely on the stance of those in power. The victors became princes, the losers bandits; judging them based on grudges and hatred would be absurd.
So even though the Yanbei Palace had previously swallowed up the power of the Min family, the Xian Palace was still willing to cooperate with Xiao Jingxi. Even if Li Tianyou disliked Min Wenqing, he only said a few words to him and did not actually fight with him to stop him from coming in.
Just now, based on the position held by Xiao Jingxi in his previous life, Ren Yaoqi made some speculations about the role played by the Yanbei Palace in the ending of the Ren family. Although Ren Yaoqi knew that Xiao Jingxi was not the mastermind behind the scenes, he could not escape the fact that he just sat back and reaped the benefits, he still could not resent him.
Xiao Jingxi owed nothing to her or the Prince Xian's Mansion, and he was not some great saint always ready to save people from danger. He was one of the people in power in Yanbei, and he had his own political stance.
She should even be thankful that in this life Xiao Jingxi chose to cooperate with Prince Xian's Mansion instead of eroding Prince Xian's Mansion's power and then killing them all.
"I heard that the Zeng family proposed marriage to the Ren family?" Rong did not ask any further questions, but instead asked about Ren Yaohua's marriage.
Ren Yaoqi nodded and said with certainty: "Zeng Kui is not a good match. This marriage will not be successful."
Rong looked at Ren Yaoqi thoughtfully after hearing this, then smiled and said, "If there is anything you can't do yourself, you can come and tell me. There are still people in my grandparents' house who can run errands for you."
Ren Yaoqi nodded: "I understand, grandma."
In reality, Ren Yaoqi knew that before the Xian Palace truly opened up to the Yanbei Palace, the Xian Palace had very little power to mobilize within Yanbei's territory. She wouldn't be so hypocritical when asking for help from her maternal family was necessary, as long as it was within the Xian Palace's capabilities.
It was almost noon when Yihong came in and said that Min Wenqing had just left after meeting Li Gan and did not stay for dinner.
Rong nodded but said nothing.
Ren Yaoqi thought that the Min family was in an awkward position within Prince Xian's territory. Regardless of his initial stance, the fact that the Min family had betrayed Concubine Wan's trust was undeniable. Even though Prince Xian's and Prince Yanbei's palaces were likely to come together due to a cooperative relationship, it was unlikely that anyone from Prince Xian's palace would treat Min Wenqing with the same attitude as before.
Ren Yaoqi had lunch at his grandparents' house before leaving.
As soon as the carriage turned out of the alley in front of Prince Xian's Mansion, Ren Yaoqi heard the voice of his uncle Li Tianyou.
"...I wonder how you can be so shameless! Is it fun to follow me all the way?"
Another voice said helplessly: "Brother Yiming, I just want to see if you are really going home."
Ren Yaoqi recognized that the voice was that of Min Wenqing who had left Prince Xian's Mansion earlier.
"It's none of your business whether I go home or not!" Li Tianyou was very annoyed that he was followed all the way by the guy he hated, and he couldn't help but swear.
Min Wenqing said in a good-tempered manner, "Brother Yiming, it's better for you to stay away from the Zeng family. Zeng Kui's intention in wanting to bet on horse racing with you might not be simple."
