Ren Yaoqi was wondering if Xiao Jingxi was truly ill or was he faking it. If he was truly ill, was it because of the poison in his body or was he being plotted against?
Because she was thinking about Xiao Jingxi's illness, Ren Yaoqi was a little absent-minded when she spoke to Ren Yijun. She was a little worried that if Xiao Jingxi was ill and couldn't make it back before the unrest in Ningxia, wouldn't Zeng Yu have another chance? As for whether Ren Yaoqi was worried about Xiao Jingxi's illness itself, she was afraid that even she couldn't tell.
Ren Yaoqi sat with Ren Yijun for a while, then stood up and said goodbye.
Ren Yijun stood up and walked her out.
Ren Yaoqi looked at him and smiled, "Third brother, you look much better recently."
Ren Yijun was stunned and said in confusion, "I'm a sickly person, how can I look good?"
Ren Yaoqi smiled and shook his head. "A royal physician once said that many illnesses are simply caused by laziness. It's actually very beneficial to move more. The county magistrate taught me a set of sword techniques. I've been practicing for almost a year. You know I used to catch colds easily in the winter, but I haven't taken any medicine in the past year."
Ren Yijun couldn't help but think deeply when he heard this.
At this moment, an old woman walked by the veranda, looked at the flower pots under the veranda and muttered quietly: "Huh? Who planted chives in glass pots?"
Ren Yijun's face changed immediately, and he immediately left Ren Yaoqi and walked down the corridor. He pointed at the so-called "orchid" pot that Qi Yuegui had brought earlier, glared at the woman and said, "Say what you said again! What is this thing?"
The old woman was frightened by the ferocious Ren Yijun and said tremblingly, "Reply, reply Third Young Master, these are leeks. There is a big bunch in the kitchen for making leek dumplings. If Third Young Master doesn't believe me, I will go to the kitchen and get some for you."
Ren Yijun's face instantly turned all colors. He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and yelled, "Qi Yuegui! Get out here!"
Qi Yuegui just happened to be running out of the tea room carrying a stack of ginger candies that Ren Yijun had specifically requested, saying, "Here they are, Master! The candies you requested are here!"
But after running a few steps, Qi Yuegui noticed something was wrong. Her eyes moved to Ren Yijun, whose face was ashen, and then she looked at the pot of "orchid" under the corridor and the old woman who was trembling with fear. Then she quickly stuffed the plate in her hand to the maid behind her and ran back.
As she ran, she turned back and waved, "Master, have some candy first. I'll make you another pot of good tea. I'll be right back!"
Ren Yijun didn't listen to her nonsense and chased after her: "Qi Yuegui, you stupid woman! Stop right there!"
Qi Yuegui turned around: "Huh? Master, you want to run with me again? Fine, but run slower! Hey - watch your step!"
As soon as Qi Yuegui finished speaking, Ren Yijun kicked a small flowerpot in the courtyard and it fell to the ground with a "bang".
Ren Yaoqi: “…”
Qi Yuegui hesitated for a moment and then ran back reluctantly: "Master, are you okay? Is everything serious? Are you hurt anywhere? I'll have someone carry you back to your room."
Ren Yijun scrambled to his feet, and without a word, he rushed forward to arrest the man. Qi Yuegui was so frightened that she immediately jumped back a big step and ran away again.
Ren Yaoqi looked at the two people chasing each other happily in the yard, sighed, and left with her maid.
