Even though the Ren family didn't reveal their true identities when they went to Chunfeng Pavilion to redeem the person, the rumors outside were still very convincing, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.
Ren Yaohua hadn't left the courtyard since the day before, not even to Ronghua Courtyard. Hearing Xiangqin come back every few hours to describe the latest developments outside, Ren Yaohua wanted to throw this noisy maid out.
Ren Yaoqi came to see Ren Yaohua and was surprised to see her leisurely hiding in the study practicing calligraphy: "You are really patient this time."
Ren Yaohua said without even looking up: "If you had come in and seen me jumping up and down, wouldn't that be another chance for you to lecture me? I heard that practicing calligraphy can calm one's mind, and I think there's some truth to that. For example, I feel much better now."
Ren Yaoqi was walking towards the desk, wanting to see if Ren Yaohua's handwriting had improved, but when she looked down, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. She looked at Ren Yaohua and said jokingly, "No wonder you said you feel much better."
I saw that Ren Yaohua had already filled more than a dozen sheets of rice paper with his writing. On each sheet of paper was the word "kill" in different sizes, and the brushstrokes were so strong that they could penetrate the back of the paper.
Ren Yaohua threw the brush in his hand into the brush washer, looking down at his morning masterpiece while saying, "Why are you here? Is it time to put it away?"
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "Wait a little longer, the situation outside is not chaotic enough. I don't believe that this is all she is capable of."
Ren Yaohua sneered, "That's right. She knows that if she can't kill me with one move, she'll be in big trouble in the future."
At this time, Xiang Qin came running in again, her face filled with excitement and resentment, saying, "Miss, those people outside are too much! They actually said that the reason our Ren family and the Qiu family can't get married is because the Qiu family knows your true character and is finding an excuse to reject the marriage."
Following her in, Turnip rolled her eyes at her fiercely: "Why are you telling the young lady about these troublesome things in such detail?"
Xiang Qin said matter-of-factly, "Of course we have to remember how others step on us. Otherwise, if we forget, how can we pay them back with interest later?"
Turnip was speechless.
Ren Yaohua looked at Xiang Qing coldly and said, "Alright! Thanks to you, I've remembered it well enough!"
Parsley stuck out her tongue and quickly hid behind Turnip.
"Miss, Nanny Zhou is here." The maid guarding the door outside reported.
Ren Yaohua glanced at Wujing, and Wujing hurried out to invite Nanny Zhou in. Nanny Zhou was not surprised to see Ren Yaoqi also in Ren Yaohua's room.
Ren Yaoqi asked, "How?"
Nanny Zhou spoke without catching her breath, "Third Miss, we can't find out how the news leaked out. When the old master came back yesterday, the old lady sent all the maids and servants out, not even leaving a tea server. According to what you said, the old master should have been talking to the old lady about Mei Hong. Logically, the old lady and the old master didn't let anyone know that Mei Hong was dead."
Ren Yaohua frowned, "But the news of Mei Hong's death still got out? Given her personality, if she hadn't known for sure that Mei Hong had been killed, she wouldn't have risked making such a big fuss."
Ren Yaoqi was not surprised at all and only asked, "Where is Aunt Gui?"
