Chapter 172 Life at Grandma's House
Ren Yaoqi was wondering with a strange expression whether she should retreat to the main room first, when Li Gan turned around and saw her.
Ren Yaoqi coughed lightly and walked forward to say hello.
When Li Gan saw her, his expression softened a little. He stood there with his hands behind his back and asked her a few questions. This made him look like a very friendly and elegant elder.
When she was asking about her mother's health, Chuchu came out from the main room, walked over and saluted, "Master, the master invites you into the room."
Ren Yaoqi noticed his grandfather's eyes twitch rapidly as he stood before him. After a pause, he calmly asked, "What does Rong want to talk to me about? I have a chess game this afternoon and I'm planning to go out. If it's nothing important, we can talk when I get back."
Chu Chu stood there respectfully with her head lowered, not saying a word.
At this time, the curtain was lifted again, and it was Rong who came out. She stood at the door and looked at the few people, smiling slightly. Her gentle eyes fell on Ren Yaoqi first: "Qi'er, go to the side room and rest for a while. I have asked Chuchu to change the bedding."
Ren Yaoqi had something on her mind and didn't sleep well last night. She also took a carriage today. She seemed a little sleepy when she was talking to Rong just now, so Rong let her go and have a rest.
Ren Yaoqi responded and was about to leave when Rong Shi had already set her sights on Li Gan, her smile still gentle. "I heard that Master is going out this afternoon?"
Li Gan glanced at Rong, then looked up at the sky. He mused, "I had originally planned to do that, but looking at the sky, it might rain soon. Forget it, let's not go today. Let's go back and rest."
As he spoke, he took the lead and walked towards the main room. When he reached Rong Shi, he said in a calm voice, "Rong Shi, come in too."
Rong bowed obediently and followed Li Gan to the main room with her head down.
Ren Yaoqi looked at their backs, raised his head to look at the clear blue sky, twitched his lips, and quickly left the main room, which was a place of trouble.
"Miss, Xia Sheng is back." Yihong walked out from the corner door and saw Ren Yaoqi standing under the eaves, so she immediately reported.
Ren Yaoqi thought for a moment, then said to Chuchu, who was accompanying her to the wing room, "I'll go to the backyard first."
Chu Chu lowered her head and looked submissive, without saying a word, and just responded and left.
Ren Yaoqi went to the backyard again, this time to see Xia Sheng. She had heard that the Liu family had arrived, so she had borrowed Xia Sheng from Rong Shi and asked him to go to the Lei family to get some information. Xia Sheng's return meant that there had been a commotion there, and Ren Yaoqi wanted to know the outcome.
Xia Sheng was standing in the courtyard in the backyard. When he saw Ren Yaoqi coming, he hurriedly went up the steps and saluted after two or three steps, then told him what had happened in the Lei family not long ago.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and his heart felt temporarily at ease.
"Xiangqin, take those maids from the Lin family back and tell my aunt that my grandmother wants to keep me here for two more days." Ren Yaoqi turned around and instructed Xiangqin.
The Lei family is still making trouble, so it would be inconvenient for Ren Yaoqi to keep an eye on the developments there when she returns to the Lin family. It would be better for her to stay in Baoping Hutong for a few more days so that she can respond in time if any emergency occurs.
It was a rare occasion for her to come to Yunyang City, so it was only natural for her to stay at her maternal grandparents' house for a few days. Ren Shijia loved her very much now and would not refuse such a small request.
Xiangqin quickly responded and retreated.
Ren Yaoqi instructed Xia Sheng again: "Keep having people keep an eye on that place, and report back to me as soon as you get any news."
