Ren Yaoqi looked at Zeng, his hands clenched into fists beneath his sleeves. He didn't even notice his nails digging into his palms.
Zeng seemed to have noticed Ren Yaoqi's gaze and looked over with a little confusion. When she saw that it was a young girl staring at her, she paused and then gave Ren Yaoqi a shy smile.
Madam Su exchanged a few pleasantries with Madam Yun and Xiao Jinglin. She also noticed Ren Yaoqi and couldn't help but wonder, "Who is this?"
Madam Yun said hurriedly, "This is the fifth daughter of the Ren family. She is here with the princess today."
Mrs. Su reacted quickly. She immediately understood Ren Yaoqi's identity, nodded and smiled at her, saying, "So you are a girl from the Ren family."
Zeng looked at Ren Yaoqi, blushing shyly and asking, "Has Miss Ren seen me before? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Zeng's words made everyone look at Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi naturally didn't let anyone see her feelings. Upon hearing this, she just smiled slightly and said, "I've never seen her. But I heard from my seventh sister that she has a very clever and skillful sister-in-law, so I can't help but be a little curious. I hope Sister Zeng won't mind."
Mrs. Su reacted and said with a smile: "It turns out that Ting girl went back to imitate others."
Seeing that Zeng was still a little confused, Mrs. Su knew that her daughter-in-law had not remembered this relationship, so she reminded her, "Our girl Ting and this Miss Ren Wu are cousins. Ting mentioned you, her sister-in-law, to her sisters at home."
Zeng's face turned even redder now.
Mrs. Su laughed out loud, looking very happy.
Ren Yaoqi looked at Zeng and smiled.
Mrs. Su seemed very pleased with the new eldest daughter-in-law. A daughter-in-law who blushed and was shy and looked like a beautiful girl from a small family? Ren Yaoqi sneered. The Su family's standards for selecting daughters-in-law were really strange.
She really didn't believe that this Zeng was a gentle and harmless little white rabbit.
Several people were standing under the eaves, talking happily. At this time, two more maids came out from the inner courtyard. They were from Old Lady Yun's side.
Mrs. Yun knew at a glance that it was Mrs. Yun who had sent to pick up the eldest aunt, so she smiled and said, "Mother already knows that the eldest aunt is back. I'm afraid she can't wait to see you. You should go in first."
Mrs. Su brought her daughter-in-law here today because she had something to ask the old lady. She agreed readily and said goodbye with her daughter-in-law and Xiao Jinglin.
The two groups passed each other. Yun Qiuchen led Mrs. Su and her mother-in-law to meet the old lady, while Mrs. Yun sent Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yaoqi out of the second door.
When the two of them sat in the carriage, Xiao Jinglin suddenly let out a breath, as if he relaxed instantly.
Ren Yaoqi, who was originally immersed in his own thoughts, was amused by Xiao Jinglin's appearance and couldn't help but jokingly said, "Princess, why do I feel like you're not here to be a guest but rather to be punished?"
Xiao Jinglin didn't shy away from the question: "I hate dealing with these women in the inner courtyard the most. It's obviously a simple sentence, but they have to beat around the bush to say it. It's such a waste of time."
