Old Madam Ren was also very kind today. She waved to Ren Yaoqi and said, "Qi'er, come meet your aunt."
Ren Yaoqi stepped forward obediently, bowed to Liu, and called her cousin.
Liu smiled, took a pink purse from the maid and handed it to Ren Yaoqi: "This is a meeting gift from my cousin."
Ren Yaoqi knew it was a courtesy, so he thanked her and took it. Then he stepped aside and sat with Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoyin.
Before Ren Yaoqi came in, Old Lady Ren and Aunt Fang were discussing the Dragon Boat Race on the Dragon Boat Festival with Liu, and now they were talking again. Ren Yaoqi remained silent and composed.
When the conversation came to a close, Liu took the initiative to speak to Ren Yaoqi, "I heard that the Fifth Miss has a very good relationship with the Princess of the Yanbei Palace? Are they traveling together today?"
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Liu and said, "I've met her a few times. The princess... the princess is very nice."
Liu studied Ren Yaoqi for a moment, then turned to Aunt Fang and said, "No wonder you often say that the Fifth Young Miss is blessed. Blessed people always meet noble people. I think we should let Sister Ying spend more time with the Fifth Young Miss and share some of her blessings."
Just as Aunt Fang was about to say something, Ren Yaoqi whispered, "I heard that when my great-grandfather was alive, he asked someone to tell our family's fortunes. He said that our ancestors had accumulated a lot of blessings during their lifetime, and therefore their descendants would benefit from them. So, Yaoqi, like the other sisters in the Ren family, is blessed."
Mrs. Liu glanced at Ren Yaoqi and said with a smile, "Fifth Miss is right. It's my cousin who is not good at speaking."
Ren Yaoqi shook his head, his voice still soft, "So everyone should accumulate virtue and do good deeds, even if not for themselves, then for future generations. If you do evil with a lucky heart, you won't be punished in this life, but will bring disaster to your descendants. This is why Buddhism emphasizes cause and effect."
As soon as these words came out, many people's expressions changed. Ren Yaoqi, on the other hand, looked completely unaware and lowered his head slightly.
Old Mrs. Ren's face also looked a little bad: "Where do you get so much talk from!"
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Old Madam Ren, pursed his lips, and said nothing more. After that, no one mentioned Ren Yaoqi again, and neither Liu nor Aunt Fang spoke to him again.
Ren Yaoqi also had lunch in the old lady's courtyard. Afterwards, Old Lady Ren asked Concubine Fang to take Liu and her son to the residence arranged by the Ren family. The old lady also called over several of the young masters of the Ren family and asked them to take Fang Shuzhou for a walk.
When Ren Yaoqi and her sister left Old Lady Ren's place, Ren Yijian, Ren Yixin, and their brothers were discussing where to go. Fang Shuzhou and Ren Yihong stood aside quietly, not interrupting. The two of them had similar personalities, being a bit more reserved than the other brothers.
A maid from the Liu family seemed to come forward and say something to Fang Shuzhou. Fang Shuzhou glanced at the cousins who were making a fuss, frowned, and then walked away somewhat displeased. Ren Yihong, who had been told by Concubine Fang to entertain his cousins well, also followed.
Ren Yaoqi, Ren Yaohua, and Ren Yaoyin walked behind them. After the brothers had left, Ren Yaoyin suddenly asked, "Fifth sister, I heard you went to the Yun family today?"
Ren Yaoqi was stunned when he heard this and glanced at Ren Yaoyin. Ren Yaoyin gave Ren Yaoqi a gentle smile in return.
"Well, I didn't know we were going to the Yun family at first. I only found out after I got on the princess's carriage." Ren Yaoqi nodded.
