The carriage started moving at this time. Ren Yaoqi wanted to get closer to hear clearly what Xiao Jingxi said next, but he only heard the sound of wheels rolling.
She couldn't help but lift the car curtain and took a look outside. Xiao Jingxi was standing not far away, looking at her with a smile. The gentle smile made Ren Yaoqi's heart skip a beat. She slid her hand and the curtain fell down.
She did not lift the curtain again, but just sat against the wall of the carriage in a daze.
Apple, who had been keeping silent as a background figure, suddenly said, "As for the rest, leave it to me."
Ren Yaoqi was stunned and looked at Apple.
Apple said innocently, "Miss, aren't you trying to guess what Mr. Xiao said next? I have sharp ears and was sitting back, so I heard it clearly!"
Although Mr. Xiao spoke the last few words very softly, Apple was still very confident in her hearing!
Ren Yaoqi: “…”
Pingguo didn't see the frustration in Ren Yaoqi's eyes and continued, "Also, I was standing in the corridor just now and heard Concubine Fang begging Second Young Master Xiao to let her go. She would go and ask her brothers to work for the Yanbei Palace. Second Young Master Xiao said that if he did that, you would be disappointed. He said that you are too soft-hearted. He will not let Concubine Fang die and will have someone tell her everything that happens outside next."
Pingguo thought that Ren Yaoqi went to the courtyard by herself because she was embarrassed to listen to the conversation between Aunt Fang and the Second Young Master Xiao. Pingguo, who had been taught a lesson by Xiangqin several times, felt that as a maidservant beside a young lady, she had to do things that the young lady wanted to do but couldn't do. Anyway, she was just a maid and it didn't matter if she was a little thick-skinned, so she insisted on listening to the entire conversation between Xiao Jingxi and Aunt Fang. Who said she had good hearing!
It wasn't that she didn't know the rules. She thought that since the two gatekeepers didn't chase her away, it meant that it didn't matter if she just stood there.
Moreover, when Second Young Master Xiao came out, he smiled at her when he saw her. She was listening openly!
Ren Yaoqi: “…”
Dongsheng, the driver, rolled his eyes as he listened to the conversation between the master and servant. He muttered to himself, "Why is the Fifth Miss, such a smart person, always accompanied by such a silly maid? Is there no one left in the Ren family?"
However, he would not tell this to Master Xiao. After all, he had overheard it because of his excellent hearing. Master Xiao had only arranged for him to escort someone, not to eavesdrop. And looking at the current situation, if he spoke too much in front of Master Xiao, he might be punished by Master Xiao II. So Dongsheng pretended to know nothing.
Dongsheng sent Ren Yaoqi back to the teahouse and arranged for someone to drive Ren Yaoqi's carriage in.
Ren Yaoqi got on his carriage and left the teahouse.
Afterwards, Ren Yaoqi led his men back to Baoping Hutong just like last time.
