Ren Yaohua's voice was quiet, but his words were extremely strong. Ren Yaoying's face changed immediately, and a blush spread across her pale face. She couldn't help but burst into tears, filled with shame and anger.
"you--"
Qiu Hong, who was sitting not far away, glanced over here. Ren Yaohua didn't even glance at Ren Yaoying, as if looking at her would pollute his eyes.
Ren Yaoying took a few deep breaths, trying to make herself look more natural, but she couldn't hold back her tears. Finally, she hurriedly stood up and left.
Because they had been careful about the volume of their voices before, only the girls from the Ren family who were nearby could hear them. Ren Yaoying's arrival did not attract much attention, and everyone just thought she was going to the bathroom to change clothes.
Ren Yaoyin asked worriedly, "If she leaves like this, should we send someone to follow her?"
Ren Yaohua said casually, "You just saw it. She dislikes my maid's clumsiness and doesn't want her to serve her. If you're worried, send someone to follow her."
Ren Yaoyin looked at the maid that Ren Yaohua mentioned as "clumsy".
A maidservant who was swiftly serving tea and water to Ren Yaoqi froze: "..."
Ren Yaoyin sighed and could only order her maid to chase Ren Yaoying.
Next, several more ladies came on stage, but because Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin were so successful, the ladies behind them did not receive much attention.
It was almost noon when the old princess said it was getting late, so she asked everyone to have lunch first and continue the competition in the afternoon. Only then did the ladies disperse.
Ren Yaoqi was going to Lanyue Pavilion, so he separated from Ren Yaohua and the others.
After the ladies had left, the young men from prominent families on the other side of the peach forest dispersed.
Many people were still thinking about the hazy figure they had just seen across half the peach forest.
Qiu Yun, the eldest son of the Qiu family, was walking with several of his close classmates. Waving his folding fan, he jokingly asked the young man beside him, "Gu Junnan, did you see your fiancée just now?"
Gu Junnan's handsome face immediately turned red. He jumped up and pointed at Qiu Yun in frustration, "You... you are talking nonsense! I, I don't have any..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter all around.
Someone said, "Yingjun, I just saw you secretly writing a poem for your fiancée. Something like 'The wind and rain between your fingers, the ice and charcoal in my intestines, making it impossible to sit or stand still'. It's rare that I don't see you reciting it."
There was another burst of laughter.
Someone noticed something was wrong: "Huh? I remember your fiancée is Miss Zhou, Zhou Wen's sister. It seems Miss Zhou hasn't taken the stage yet? Zhou Wen, you said... um? Where is Zhou Wen? She was just here."
"Maybe he left first, but Gu Junnan...who did you write the poem for just now?"
Gu Junnan subconsciously tightened his sleeves. He puffed up his cheeks and walked forward quickly: "What, what does it have to do with you!"
The rest of the people looked at each other and showed each other a tacit expression.
This poem is about a person who plays the zither...
Everyone was silent for a moment, and someone coughed lightly: "I've heard some rumors about the princess before. The rumors I saw today are indeed not to be believed."
Someone continued, "This is the first time I've heard the legendary 'Sad Wind Song'. It's truly a famous piece, and it truly lingers in my ears for three days."
