After leaving the Yun residence, Xiao Jinglin had originally planned to go eat roast duck with Ren Yaoqi, but unexpectedly, someone from the Yanbei Palace came to find her halfway and said that Xiao Jinglin's aunt Xiao Wei had come from Ningxia. It turned out that Wu Yiyu and Xiao Wei had not come to the Yanbei Palace together.
Although Xiao Jinglin was very reluctant, the old princess sent someone to ask her to return home, so she had no choice but to say goodbye to Ren Yaoqi.
Because the two of them were riding in the same carriage, Xiao Jinglin gave the carriage to Ren Yaoqi and got on the mount of the person from the palace.
Seeing Xiao Jinglin swiftly getting on the horse, whipping the horse, and his agile figure disappearing from sight, even Apple, who rarely expressed his opinions, exclaimed in surprise.
Dongsheng stayed behind to drive the carriage for Ren Yaoqi, and the carriage carried Ren Yaoqi and his servant back to the Ren family villa.
Ren Yaoqi had just entered the door and was thinking about whether to go back to Ziwei Courtyard or Ronghua Courtyard to explain to the old lady, when he saw the eldest lady of the Ren family, Zhao, and an old nanny beside the eldest lady, walking towards him while talking.
Ren Yaoqi stopped and waited for Zhao to come over and greeted her.
"Where are you going, sister-in-law?"
Seeing Ren Yaoqi, Zhao smiled and said, "Fifth Miss is back? Aunt Fang arrived today and is at Grandmother's. Mother and I were just discussing a few dishes, and I was just about to go to the kitchen. The other girls in the family are all in Ronghua Courtyard. If Fifth Miss has nothing to do, she might as well go and say hello."
Aunt Fang... Ren Yaoqi lowered his head and pondered.
The cousin aunt from the Fang family that Zhao mentioned should be the daughter-in-law of their great aunt, that is, the sister-in-law of Aunt Fang.
A while ago, I said I would come to attend the full moon banquet of Ren Shijia’s son. Tomorrow is the day, so it is normal for me to arrive today.
Thinking of this, Ren Yaoqi smiled and nodded at Zhao: "I understand, sister-in-law, I'll be there right away."
Zhao smiled back at Ren Yaoqi, then led the maid to the kitchen.
When Ren Yaoqi walked to Ronghuayuan, he heard a lot of noise in Old Lady Ren's room, which was very similar to the noise he heard in front of Old Lady Yun's room before.
Ren Yaoqi entered the room only after the maid at the door had gone in to report.
Sitting in the chair next to Old Lady Ren was a woman in her mid-twenties. She had plain features and a square face. Although she looked well-groomed, she was far from beautiful. Fortunately, her temperament was relatively calm, so she couldn't be called ugly either.
Mrs. Fang, surnamed Liu, came from a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River.
Behind Liu stood a young man who looked younger than her. He took after his mother and looked quite ordinary, except for his eyes, which were quite bright. He must have had his father's eyes.
Although Ren Yaoqi had never met this young man, she knew that he was Fang Yacun's only son, Fang Shuzhou, who was one year younger than Ren Yaoying. After the Ren family fell, Concubine Fang took Ren Yaoying back to her parents' home and married her to Fang Shuzhou.
But now, Fang Shuzhou stood obediently behind his mother, and Ren Yaoying sat on the small stool in front of Old Lady Ren to massage her legs, and there was not even an eye contact between the two.
Originally, Fang Shuzhou was not the target that Aunt Fang had set for Ren Yaoyu, and she took that step out of helplessness.
"This is our Fifth Young Miss," Aunt Fang said softly, addressing Liu.
Originally, Aunt Fang was not qualified to sit here to entertain guests, but now she was sitting next to Liu in a serious manner.
