After coming out of the main house, Ren Yaoqi went to the wing where Li Tianyou's husband lived. Her aunt Ji Fuying came out to greet her in person. When she entered the room, Ren Yaoqi saw Li Tianyou sitting at the eight-immortal table and helping to wipe a long sword.
Seeing Ren Yaoqi coming in, Li Tianyou chuckled and sat there pretending to make a sword flower, his gestures were quite skillful.
"Girl, don't I look majestic and powerful when I hold a sword?"
Ren Yaoqi was almost dazzled by the gorgeous gems on the hilt. The one in Li Tianyou's hand was a sword, not a weapon for fighting.
"Uncle knows martial arts?" Ren Yaoqi asked with a smile. She had never seen Li Tianyou fight, but she guessed that since he dared to bring people to Kyoto to find him in his previous life, he must have had some support.
Li Tianyou was unhappy when he heard this: "Hey - Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter combined can't beat me! That little bastard named Min is my disciple!"
Li Tianyou has been speaking half-truths and half-lies for most of his life. Ren Yaoqi was too lazy to guess how true or false his words were, so she just smiled and said nothing.
Li Tianyou rolled his eyes, waved his hand and said to Ji Fuying, "Go and get the thing." After that, he lowered his head to continue wiping his sword. He had no intention of talking to Ren Yaoqi. Ren Yaoqi sat quietly beside him and looked at the gorgeous scabbard of the sword.
Ji Fuying quickly came out with a brocade bag. She handed it to Ren Yaoqi and said with a smile, "This is given to you by your uncle and aunt. Keep it."
Ren Yaoqi took the brocade bag and bowed respectfully to thank the couple. Ji Fuying talked to her for a while and gave her some instructions. When the time was almost up, Ren Yaoqi stood up and said goodbye.
Ji Fuying sent Ren Yaoqi out, and Li Tianyou shouted from behind them, "If anyone dares to upset you and your mother again, you can have those two maids beat them up. Just say it was me who said that!"
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but laugh and cry.
The Ren family's carriage slowly drove away from Prince Xian's residence. Ren Yaoqi lifted the curtain and peeked out for a moment before lowering it. She opened the brocade bag Ji had given her earlier, revealing three thousand taels of silver and the deed to the house they had just purchased.
After returning to the Ren family, Ren Yaoqi did not mention the matter of presenting the palace to Li, and Li just thought that Ren Yaoqi was called by Rong to chat about family matters.
Several days passed after returning from Prince Xian's mansion. Suddenly, rumors spread that Prince Xian's family had already fled Yanbei. Upon hearing this, Li Shi quickly sent people to her mother's house to check. However, they discovered that Prince Xian's mansion was completely deserted, with not a single person in sight.
At this time, rumors about Prince Xian's mansion were flying everywhere. Some speculated that Prince Xian's family had been secretly executed by people sent by the court. Some speculated that Prince Xian's family had been secretly transferred to the Yanbei Palace. Still others said that Prince Xian knew that the death of the crown prince would inevitably lead to a feud between Yanbei and the court, and to avoid the consequences for his family, Prince Xian fled with his family. In short, there were all kinds of rumors.
Seeing that Prince Xian's family had left Yanbei for several days, Ren Yaoqi went to look for Li.
After hearing what Ren Yaoqi said, Li was stunned for a long time: "Gone? Where did he go?"
Ren Yaoqi thought for a moment and said, "It should be heading southwest."
"Southwest? Southwest..."
Madam Zhou suddenly said, "Madam, if we go southwest, we will go to the river, right?"
Li also figured it out, and a look of mixed sadness and joy appeared on her face: "Yes. It went to the river..." Li didn't know what she was thinking about, and suddenly without any warning, she covered her face and sobbed, and no matter how Nanny Zhou tried to persuade her, she couldn't stop sobbing.
