Seeing it was a turnip, Ren Yaoqi asked, "But what happened?"
Turnip nodded, and while leading Ren Yaoqi to find Ren Yaohua and the others, she whispered in Ren Yaoqi's ear, "Miss Guo fell into the water just now."
"Miss Guo family?" Ren Yaoqi was a little surprised.
Turnip immediately explained: "It's the eldest lady of the Guo family in Weizhou. You have seen it at the Qianjin Banquet. It didn't take long after you left, Miss Five, the two young ladies of the Jiang family and the eldest miss of the Guo family came. After that, for some unknown reason, they made an appointment to swim in the lake again, and then it happened that Miss Guo fell into the water."
Ren Yaoqi nodded, thought for a while and then asked, "Second Master Yun is also present?"
She remembered that Yun Wenfang said just now that she didn't want her to be involved in the mess. This mess must be referring to Guo Yujiao's falling into the water.
After hearing the words, Wu Jing hesitated for a while before saying: "Miss Fifth, in fact, Second Young Master Yun stopped the Third Miss to ask you where to go before, and the Third Miss was very upset by him and tricked him into saying that you went to the lake. I just heard that someone fell into the water. , Miss San was taken aback by her, for fear that something might happen to Miss Fifth, so I and Xiang Qin and the others came out to look for you."
Ren Yaoqi nodded, and it was hard to ask questions at the moment, so he followed Turnip to find Ren Yaohua quickly, so that she could feel at ease.
Ren Yaohua saw that Ren Yaoqi was fine, and the first question she asked was if she had met Yun Wenfang.
Seeing the anger and worry in Ren Yaohua's eyes, Ren Yaoqi told what happened to Yun Wen on the road when he first came back.
Ren Yaohua frowned for a long time, and then explained how far she saw Yun Wenfang hide in the future. After Yun Wenfang came back, she saw him twice, and he asked her about Ren Yaoqi's whereabouts every time, which made Ren Yaohua vigilant. Although she couldn't say that she was very familiar with Yun Wenfang, she could still feel that Yun Wenfang was a very dangerous person, especially after returning from the border.
Ren Yaoqi naturally responded honestly.
Sisters Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua were whispering here, while the other young ladies were talking about Guo Yujiao's falling into the water.
Mrs. Xu's furnace meeting invited mostly female relatives of Yunyang Academy. Because Jiang's family also opened an academy, Jiang's family and Xu's family often communicated with each other on weekdays. The Jiang family's sisters happened to be in Yunyang City, so they were also invited over. . In addition, there are some noble family daughters who have made a good statement also received invitations. For example, Guo Yujiao, who once made some small limelights at the daughters banquet, also received invitations because she happened to be in Yunyang City.
Later, the Jiang sisters and Guo Yujiao went to swim in the lake, but they did not expect such a thing to happen. After the accident, Mrs. Xu rushed over to deal with it. The guests who came to the banquet could not leave at this moment, so they still stayed here.
Someone whispered: "How can a good person fall into the water? Didn't he take his wife and maid out? No one saw it?"
"I heard that there was no one around when Miss Guo fell into the water."
"Miss Guo and Miss Jiang Ba were quarreling at the time..."
Ren Yaoqi was silently listening to their discussions, and Shijin, the maid next to Mrs. Xu, hurried in, first looked around in the warm pavilion, and then walked straight to Ren Yaoqi, curtseyed and said: " Fifth Miss Ren, our wife called you to come."
Although she was a little surprised why Mrs. Xu was looking for her at this time, Ren Yaoqi nodded in agreement without hesitation, greeted Ren Yaohua and followed Shijin away.
Shi Jin took Ren Yaoqi to a yard very close to the lake. There was no wing in this yard, only three large houses side by side, which looked like a study.
Ren Yaoqi saw a lot of people walking outside the door from a distance, very lively.
A maid hurried into the house carrying hot water, a copper basin, and a carbon basin, and she held a thick mattress for the old lady, listening carefully to the sound of choking in the room.
Shi Jin took Ren Yaoqi directly into the house. As soon as Ren Yaoqi entered, he found that it was indeed a study. When he looked up, he could see a large black lacquered bookcase. Mrs. Xu's voice came from the room on the right. Four carbon basins are placed, but because the carbon basins have not been brought in for a long time, they are not as warm as the warm pavilion that I stayed before.
There was a slack by the window of the house, and a group of maids and old women were busy around the slack. Ren Yaoqi could only see a section of wet hair and a strangely white neck exposed outside the thick mattress. Mrs. Xu stood beside the soft collapse, frowning and commanding in a deep voice.
As Ren Yaoqi approached, she could clearly see half of the face of the person lying on the bed. It was Guo Yujiao who fell into the water. She noticed that Guo Yujiao's body hidden under the thick mattress had been shaking, and she could hear her teeth chattering. is sound.
Seeing Ren Yaoqi come in, Mrs. Xu waved to her, and then without looking back she asked the maid, "Why hasn't Jiang Tang been served yet, is the doctor here?"
Ren Yaoqi approached, looked at the gap before asking, "Is Miss Guo okay?"
Mrs. Xu sighed: "Fortunately, we were rescued in time, and we didn't choke a few sips of water. It's just that the lake water is too cold, and I'm afraid it will be frozen."
Seeing Madam Xu's expression, Ren Yaoqi knew that Guo Yujiao should be fine, and he was relieved.
"I have something for you to do." Seeing that the arrangement was almost done, Mrs. Xu said to Ren Yaoqi, "I just rushed over because it was urgent, and I didn't have time to take care of anything else. I handed it over to your mother and Mrs. Liu, and the little girls will hand it over to you."
Mrs. Xu explained a few words to Ren Yaoqi in a low voice and asked her to tell the young ladies that Guo Yujiao was all right, and try to quell the bad rumors, so as to avoid any bad rumors in the future, which would make the young ladies' reputation. damaged.
"I'm the master of the house today, and I should come forward when something like this happens. It's just that I don't have a daughter or a daughter-in-law. Everyone knows you're my little apprentice, so I'll leave this to you." Mrs. Xu He patted Ren Yaoqi's hand and ordered.
When Ren Yaoqi heard Mrs. Xu's words, she understood that Mrs. Xu was currently incapable of being independent, so she should have left the aftermath to her daughter-in-law or daughter to help her share. It's a pity that Mrs. Xu has neither a daughter-in-law nor a daughter, so she can only find Ren. Yao Qi, the apprentice in the eyes of everyone.
Ren Yaoqi knew that, given Mrs. Xu's position among the daughters of the Yanbei family, asking her to do this was essentially trusting her and lifting her up in front of everyone, so she immediately responded.
To be honest, Madam Xu praised Ren Yaoqi several times, and she was very grateful.
