Seeing her like this, Lei Ting couldn't help but feel some pity in his heart, but he was not a man who was good at comforting women, so he couldn't help thinking about how to comfort Ren Yaohua, so there was a brief silence between the two.
On the other hand, Ren Yaohua lowered his head slightly and said first: "Brother Lei, you just... Do you think I'm acting ruthlessly?"
Ren Yaohua is a person who can't rub the sand in her heart. Although Lei Ting's words have dissipated a lot of her previous anxiety, she still wants to know how Lei Ting sees her in her heart. She didn't realize it herself, although she tried her best to keep her tone indifferent when she asked the question, but the deliberately slowed breathing still revealed the unease in her heart.
Lei Ting didn't answer immediately when he heard the words. He thought about it for a while. The first thing that came to his mind was that Ren Yaohua had changed his name to him again. When Ren Yaohua came over just now, from his words to his behavior, he showed an attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away, which made Lei Ting a little helpless.
"Are you going to kill yourself?" Lei Ting finally raised his eyebrows and asked.
Ren Yaohua was stunned for a while, then shook his head: "No..."
Lei Ting nodded and said lightly: "I didn't see that it was ruthless, but I'm very glad that you acted a lot more rigorously this time. It is not a shame to fight back within the scope of control of the situation. Lei Ting paused, and emphasized in an unmistakable tone, "You are not wrong."
Ren Yaohua looked at Lei Ting and listened to him say these few words in a low voice. She felt a corner of her heart silently collapsed. This feeling was very unfamiliar and made her feel a little sour and soft in her heart.
"If there is anything that I can't handle in the future, I will send someone to it." Lei Ting thought for a while and warned.
Ren Yaohua bowed his head and replied softly.
She originally felt a little awkward when Lei Ting suddenly went to her house to propose marriage. The reason why she was awkward was not for anything else, but because she was worried that Lei Ting wanted to marry her because he had hugged her when he was saving her, and for the sake of her boudoir reputation. Ren Yaohua once thought that when she saw Lei Ting again, she would ask if he wanted to marry her, or if he was forced to marry her.
But now, Ren Yaohua suddenly felt relieved, and she didn't want to ask Lei Ting whether he was willing or not.
Lei Ting glanced in the direction behind Ren Yaohua: "It's getting late, and someone will come after you go."
Ren Yaohua also glanced back and saw Xiangqin standing there probing her brain, it seemed that there was something she wanted to report, but it was not easy to come over. Ren Yaohua guessed that Ren Yaoying might have finished changing her clothes and came out.
She didn't plan to stay here any longer, so she nodded and whispered, "I'm leaving." She looked up at Lei Ting, but for some reason she couldn't move.
"You go first." Lei Ting thought that Ren Yaohua was going to wait for him to leave first, so he said.
Ren Yaohua pursed her lips, and finally turned around and left.
Ren Yaoying had already changed into a new outfit, and even the people who were serving her were brought in without a single touch. It's just that at this time, Ren Yaoying's face was as pale as paper and looked very weak, her eyes were still red and swollen, she coughed a few times from time to time, and she was completely embarrassed.
When Ren Yaoying looked up and saw Ren Yaohua walking over, there was a hint of fear in her eyes, and she couldn't help but take a step back. Ren Yaohua gave Ren Yaoying a cold look, and was very satisfied with her fear. She did these things today to teach Ren Yaoying a lesson and let her know that she was afraid, so that she would never dare to provoke her in the future.
Ren Yaohua didn't say anything to Ren Yaoying, and went ahead with her own.
Ren Yaoying stood there stunned for a while, Ping'er came up to help her down the mountain, Ren Yaoying recovered and looked at Ping'er's eyes with hatred, and Ping'er lowered her head and dared not look at her. Ren Yaoying glanced at her maids again, and they all lowered their heads and said nothing.
Ren Yaoying's face became paler and paler, and she couldn't even stand up. She understands that this is the fact that Ren Yaohua wants her to recognize today. Now in Ren's house, she is nothing, and no one really takes her seriously, even these maids who were her confidants when the aunt was there. They have now turned their backs.
If her uncle hadn't lost power, and if her aunt was still alive, how would she be treated like this? Thinking like this, Ren Yaoying came out of sadness, covered her face and started crying again, feeling that she was the most helpless and pitiful person in the world.
Seeing that Ren Yaoying seemed to be crying out of control, Ping'er bravely persuaded: "Miss, the wife and the third lady are still waiting for you at the foot of the mountain, so let's go down earlier."
Ren Yaoying remembered the scene where Ren Yaohua coldly instructed her mother-in-law to feed her blood leeches, her heart trembled, and she finally stopped crying.
When Ren Yaoying went down the mountain, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Ren Yaohua were already waiting for her. Ren Yaoying would not be stupid enough to sue Ren Yaohua in front of Mrs. Li, and she didn't know how Ren Yaohua told Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li saw her coming down late. No more questions.
Because of such an incident, they returned to Yunyang City a little later than others, but Ren Shimin and Ren Yihong didn't go back with them. The scholars had other activities and would not go back until after dinner.
Ren Yaoqi knew about Li Shi and the others as soon as they entered the mansion, and she quickly welcomed them out. It was only after a face-to-face meeting with Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoying that Ren Yaoqi knew that something was wrong. She glanced at Ren Yaoying, who had a morbid and terrified expression, and then looked at Ren Yaohua again. When Hua went back to the room to change clothes, she followed.
It's just that before Ren Yaoqi asked, Turnip came in and reported that Ren Yaoying's maid Ping'er was here, saying that Ren Yaoying was not feeling well and wanted to invite the doctor into the house to see.
Ren Yaoying felt uncomfortable and wanted to ask a doctor. Piner did not despise Li and did not ask Mammy Zhou. Instead, she found Ren Yaohua on her head? Ren Yaoqi raised his eyebrows and looked at Ren Yaohua.
Ren Yaohua sneered: "She cherishes her life. But fear of death has the advantage of being afraid of death. Since she is worried, please ask the doctor to come in and show her."
Turnip went away.
Ren Yaoqi then asked Ren Yaohua what happened.
Ren Yaohua did not hide from Ren Yaoqi, and told Lei Paner that Ren Yaoying was on the mountain today, and finally she let Ren Yaoying eat blood leeches.
Ren Yaoqi listened with a calm expression on her face, and did not point out the responsibility for Yaohua's indiscretion, but she, like Lei Ting, was most concerned about Ren Yaohua's aftermath.
Ren Yaohua hesitated for a while, but still told Ren Yaoqi: "The second young master of the Yun family is back, and he was seen by him today."
This time, Ren Yaoqi frowned.
Ren Yaohua said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Uncle Lei is also here, he said... Said that Yun Wenfang would deal with it over there."
Ren Yaoqi heard something from Ren Yaohua's forced indifference, but Ren Yaohua was too embarrassed to turn into anger, and Ren Yaoqi pretended not to notice anything. Ren Yaoqi didn't ask any more about Yun Wenfang.
After that, Ren Yaoqi still sent someone to ask the doctor about the result of seeing Ren Yaoying. It wasn't because Ren Yaoqi cared about Ren Yaoying, but she was afraid that Ren Yaohua would really spoil Ren Yaoying if she didn't pay attention. Ren Yaohua took care of the aftermath. However, after seeing Ren Yaoying's throat, the doctor said that Ren Yaoying only had a small throat injury and lost some blood, and the rest was fine.
From this day on, Ren Yaoying really became honest, and she wanted to hide when she saw Ren Yaohua for a long time. I don't know if the scene where Ren Yaohua fed her blood leeches was too terrifying. Ren Yaoying started to have nightmares every now and then, and she always felt something in her throat and coughed at every turn. Li Shi didn't know why, so he asked her a doctor several times. The doctor couldn't see why after reading it, and he didn't know why Ren Yaoying always coughed, so she could only give her some medicine to clear her lungs and soothe her throat.
Ren Yaohua didn't expect Ren Yaoying to be so intimidated, but thinking of what Ren Yaoying did, Ren Yaohua had no sympathy or guilt at all. I have already done it, and then I said that I couldn't bear it and it wasn't intentional. Ren Yaohua couldn't do such a hypocritical thing. And if Ren Yaoying dared to provoke her again, she would continue to feed Ren Yaoying blood leeches and spider cockroaches as she had warned before, until she was full.
For the next two months, Ren Yaoqi did not see Yun Wenfang. After the Double Ninth Festival, Yanbei became colder day by day. Although the first snow of the year came a little late, the cold and severe north wind was unequivocal, blowing the people in Yunyang City to laziness. of.
For a while, even if Ren Yaoqi went out, he just followed Li stalking through the door in Baoping Hutong, and rarely showed up outside. It's not that she deliberately avoided Yun Wenfang, but Ren Yaohua's wedding date was set for the next August. Li was busy preparing a dowry for Ren Yaohua. Ren Yaohua was also detained by Li at home to embroider her wedding dress and dowry. Not a lively temperament, naturally happy to accompany her mother and sister at home.
After the Double Ninth Festival, Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jingxi, and Xiao Jinglin's siblings have not met. However, there are still correspondence between Xiao Jinglin and Xiao Jinglin. It may be a habit formed by Xiao Jinglin when he was at Jiajing Pass. It is very accustomed to send a letter every three to five.
But once, when Ren Yaoqi received Xiao Jinglin's letter, she always felt something strange after opening it. She read the letter carefully before confirming that although the handwriting on this letter was very similar to Xiao Jinglin's, it was not Xiao Jinglin's. word. Although Ren Yaoqi is not a master of calligraphy, she is extremely talented in calligraphy and painting and has worked hard, so it is not a problem to recognize handwriting.
