Chapter 174 Mrs. Luo
Ren Yaoqi stood in the corridor and looked towards the main house. The slightly scorching afternoon sun shone into the courtyard, and the golden light was evenly coated on the colorful flowers and lush greenery in the courtyard, making it seem less hot.
Chuchu, who was serving in the room, had been sent out early in the morning. Now only Li Ganrong and Xiao Jingxi were in the room. Ren Yaoqi speculated for a long time but still couldn't guess anything.
After finishing what she needed to say to Zhu Ruomei, Ren Yaoqi thought for a moment and told her maid to take Zhu Ruomei out for tea while she returned to her own room in the west wing. She also told Pingguo to keep an eye on the main room and call her when someone came out.
Xiao Jingxi didn't stay in the main room for long. After Ren Yaoqi sat on the kang and flipped through a book for a while, Pingguo came back.
"Mr. Xiao is coming out?" Ren Yaoqi asked, looking up.
"Sister Chuchu asked me to call the young lady over, saying that the old lady was calling for her." Apple replied.
Upon hearing this, Ren Yaoqi did not dare to delay and immediately got up and went out.
When they returned to the main room, Xiao Jingxi hadn't left yet, and Chuchu had come in to serve tea. They must have finished their conversation. Ren Yaoqi glanced at the people present without noticing anything, but couldn't tell.
Li Ganzheng and Xiao Jingxi chatted about music theory from time to time, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Speaking of Li Gan, the son of a dragon and a phoenix, while he may not have many other talents, he is extremely proficient in eating, drinking, playing, playing chess, calligraphy, and painting. This talent must have been inherited from his mother, Concubine Wan. Therefore, a long time ago, Ren Yaoqi's father, Ren Shimin, and Li Gan had a good relationship. Both of them were elegant and could chat with each other.
In this case, it is not surprising that the brilliant and talented Second Young Master Xiao can chat with Li Gan.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't figure out what was going on, so he just said hello and went back to Rong's side obediently.
Xiao Jingxi did not sit in Baoping Hutong for too long. After half a cup of tea, he asked to leave.
Although Li Gan treated Xiao Jingxi well, he didn't personally see him off; he only stood up and walked a few steps with him. Ren Yaoqi, a woman, couldn't see off a male guest, so since Xiao Jingxi hadn't mentioned he was looking for her, she happily kept silent.
Before leaving, Xiao Jingxi glanced at Ren Yaoqi, smiled slightly, and turned to walk out.
Ren Yaoqi, however, was having a headache. She was a person who loved to think, and when she met someone as perceptive as Xiao Jingxi, she inevitably overthought every one of his normal or unusual looks and movements. However, she was still confused.
"Qi'er, are you familiar with the second young master Xiao?" Rong asked suddenly.
Ren Yaoqi came back to his senses and saw that Li Gan and Rong had already sat down. Their expressions were no different from usual, and Rong seemed to be asking casually.
"I've met her a few times because of the princess." Ren Yaoqi chose a safer answer. It wasn't that she didn't trust the Rong family, but she was still a woman after all, and she was afraid that if she told them some things, they would overthink or worry.
Rong nodded thoughtfully, "I think so." After a pause, "But it's okay for you to be on good terms with the princess. It's best for Second Young Master Xiao to avoid suspicion when necessary."
Ren Yaoqi looked at Rong, and Rong's eyes did not show any displeasure or suspicion, but only pity and worry.
Ren Yaoqi understood Rong's intentions. They were simply worried that she would suffer. Xiao Jingxi's status was too high for her. If anything were to get out, she would be the only one to suffer.
