Since Xiao Jinglin wants to go back, Ren Yaoqi naturally has to go back to Baihe Town as well.
Ren Yaoqi refused Xiao Jinglin's offer to take her back. It was already late. If Xiao Jinglin took her back to Baihe Town or the Yanbei Palace, the sun would surely have set. Ren Yaoqi was afraid she would be scolded by the princess.
In the end, Xiao Jinglin could only take a step back and let Hongying send her back. As a man, Xiao Jingxi naturally could not send Ren Yaoqi back and cause any suspicion, but he asked Tongxi, who was familiar to Ren Yaoqi, to be her driver and also sent two guards to accompany the car.
Xiao Jinglin took a look at the ordinary-looking carriage and wanted to say something, but finally kept his mouth shut.
She could tell it was Xiao Jingxi's carriage. You know, Second Young Master Xiao never lent his carriage to anyone. Even the silly girl who had to ride in his carriage had her hair washed clean by Tong He before getting on. Now, the silly girl ran away when she saw Xiao Jingxi's carriage.
Ren Yaoqi naturally didn't know any of this. She didn't recognize that she was in Xiao Jingxi's carriage. From the outside, the carriages of the Yanbei Palace looked exactly the same. Ren Yaoqi wasn't from the Yanbei Palace, so she couldn't see the subtle differences.
Before getting on the car, Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin said goodbye for a while. Ren Yaoqi asked Xiao Jinglin to tell her before leaving Yunyang City, and also to remember to write to her if it was convenient after arriving at Jiajing Pass.
Xiao Jinglin agreed to all of them, and told Ren Yaoqi to practice sword for half an hour every day and not to be lazy. He also told her that if she wrote back, she should send it to Xiao Jingxi at the Yanbei Palace.
Thinking that this separation might last two years, Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin both felt reluctant.
But no matter how reluctant they were, they still had to say goodbye. Ren Yaoqi waved and got on the carriage. Xiao Jinglin's carriage drove alongside her for a while, and then they separated at the fork in the road between Yunyang City and Baihe Town.
Ren Yaoqi realized something was wrong after she got on the carriage. Compared with Xiao Jinglin's carriage, the one she was riding in looked very ordinary from the outside, but the difference became apparent once she got inside.
Compared with this carriage, Xiao Jinglin's car can be described as simple.
Ren Yaoqi immediately thought of who the car belonged to because it looked very much like someone's style.
It's not that someone is flamboyant or extravagant; nothing in this car looks fancy, but anyone with a discerning eye can tell it's anything but ordinary. No wonder Xiao Jinglin always teases Xiao Jingxi for being too particular.
No wonder Hongying refused to get in the car and insisted on riding a horse. She thought that Xiao Jinglin's maids had the same hobby as her.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help laughing as she sat on the soft and comfortable cushion made of some unknown material.
"Miss, would you like some tea?" Apple, who was lucky enough to get into the carriage with Ren Yaoqi, saw Ren Yaoqi picking up a black teacup on the small table and looking at it. Thinking that she wanted to drink tea, she asked in a low voice.
Ren Yaoqi looked at the cup in her hand, smiled and shook her head. There are many etiquettes for drinking tea from the black jade cup. Ren Yaoqi was afraid that Xiao Jingxi would know that she had used his cup to drink tea, so she threw away this priceless thing.
This is a sin.
Seeing a book on the low table, Ren Yaoqi picked it up and flipped through it. It was a booklet on appreciating famous paintings. Ren Yaoqi flipped through a few pages with interest, thinking of reading a book to pass the time.
But when he accidentally turned to the title page, Ren Yaoqi saw two lines of elegant words and couldn't help but be stunned.
