Chapter 176 The Secret of the Ancestral Home
All the questions that needed to be asked had been asked, and Ren Yaoqi stood up.
"You should have a good rest. I'll send someone to pick you up when you're better." There was no emotion in Ren Yaoqi's voice when he spoke. It was still as gentle as before.
Mrs. Luo propped herself up and sat up straight: "Miss, do you have anything else you want to ask?"
Ren Yaoqi shook his head.
She already knew everything she needed to know, and she had no time to inquire about the Zhai family's secrets. What did those have to do with her?
"Miss, can Shui Ai go with you today?" Mrs. Luo looked at Ren Yaoqi with pleading eyes.
Ren Yaoqi thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go back together after you've recovered from your injury? She won't be willing to leave you now that you're injured."
Mrs. Luo hurriedly said, "I'll just persuade her. Miss, you should take her away." Mrs. Luo was like she was trying to grab the last straw. She must be very afraid of Zhai Yaozu because of the tragic massacre of Mrs. Liu's family.
Ren Yaoqi was also considerate of the relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren. Seeing that Mrs. Luo insisted, she didn't say anything and just nodded.
Xiao Jingxi nodded, stood up and walked away first.
Ren Yaoqi originally wanted to leave, but Mrs. Luo suddenly called out, "Fifth Miss, please stay."
Ren Yaoqi turned around and saw Mrs. Luo struggling to move towards her. She took a few steps back, but Mrs. Luo suddenly grabbed her sleeve and leaned in close. As Ren Yaoqi was surprised, she whispered in her ear, "The Zhai family planned to move south to avoid disaster. They had a lot of wealth that was not convenient to take with them, so they left it in the ancestral home."
Ren Yaoqi pulled her sleeve out of Luo Pozi's hand and looked at her calmly without saying a word. But her eyes were so cold that Luo Pozi couldn't help but feel a palpitation in her heart and retracted her hand.
"Young lady, what I said is true. That uncle also knew about it back then, although he didn't know where the things were hidden at the time, and I don't know if they have been taken out after all these years."
"Madam Luo." Ren Yaoqi interrupted her coldly, "The young lady of the Zhai family treated you well in the past."
Mrs. Luo's face turned pale, then she looked at Ren Yaoqi and said with a wry smile: "Miss, what you are teaching me is that I have let my old master down."
She paused. "I have no other intention in telling you this, young lady. I just hope you can maneuver or be on guard to prevent the tragedy from happening again. Li Niang also knows this secret, and she knows more than I do. She will definitely tell the young master about this. I think that since the young master has returned, he will not let it go. I see that the Han family is now a wealthy family. If the young master Yaozu lets go of his hatred, he can live a happy life. The young mistress and her family are dead, and the uncle and his wife have long been buried. When will the revenge end? Living a good life is the right thing to do. I admit that I am a coward. I originally planned to spend the rest of my life on the farm and let these past events rot in my stomach. Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes."
Ren Yaoqi looked at Mrs. Luo quietly for a moment, then said calmly, "Then keep it to yourself. There's no need for anyone else to know what you just said to me."
Mrs. Luo sighed and nodded.
Ren Yaoqi turned around and walked out.
The abundant light outside dazzled Ren Yaoqi for a moment, but when he adjusted, he saw Xiao Jingxi standing in the corridor, talking to Zhu Ruomei. The golden light slanted across his face, a tranquil and beautiful scene. Hearing Ren Yaoqi coming out, he turned and smiled.
