After leaving Mrs. Xu's place, Ren Yaoqi returned to the warm pavilion and told everyone about Guo Yujiao's situation according to Mrs. Xu's wishes.
When such a thing happened, the furnace meeting today would naturally not be able to go on. After Mrs. Li and the others also explained it clearly, Ren Yaoqi helped Mrs. Xu to see off the guests. Although everyone felt a little surprised about Ren Yaoqi's appearance, they thought it was reasonable after careful consideration. On weekdays, Mrs. Xu's love and respect for Ren Yaoqi, a closed-door disciple, were all in everyone's eyes.
Mrs. Li and Ren Yaohua also went back first. After Ren Yaoqi dealt with the follow-up matters, they went to Mrs. Xu. When they went to the study where Guo Yujiao was settled before, they found that the people from the Guo family had already heard the news. Ren Yaoqi passed by. At that time, I saw someone from the Guo family pick up Guo Yujiao to go back.
As soon as Ren Yaoqi walked into the study, he heard an angry voice from a woman: "... The maid saw that Jiang Yuanniang pushed us Yujiao into the river during the dispute, how can this matter be left like this? The Jiang family is simply deceiving people!"
Mrs. Xu comforted her softly: "I have asked before, and the maid said that the two had had a dispute before, but no one saw Miss Jiang's eighth pushing her."
The woman said angrily, "The two were quarreling at the time. If it wasn't for Jiang Yuanniang who pushed Yujiao, could it be that Yujiao jumped into the lake by himself?"
Mrs. Xu sighed and turned to see Ren Yaoqi coming, so she beckoned to let her go.
Ren Yaoqi saw a woman in her thirties sitting on the soft side where Guo Yujiao was lying, with uncontrollable anger on her face. Ren Yaoqi had seen this woman before, Knowing that she is the eldest wife of the Meng family. She was born in the Guo family in Weizhou and is Guo Yujiao's direct aunt. When Guo Yujiao came to Yanzhou, she lived in her aunt's house. The Meng family is one of the largest families in Yanzhou. Although this Guo family has not been in the family for a long time, he is a formidable family.
Ren Yaoqi went up to greet Mrs. Meng, and Mrs. Meng was a little surprised. She didn't know why Ren Yaoqi appeared here, but she still nodded reluctantly.
Mrs. Xu asked Ren Yaoqi a few words in a low voice, and Ren Yaoqi answered them one by one.
At this time, Guo Yujiao, who was lying on the couch, suddenly woke up. Mrs. Meng immediately turned her head and asked anxiously, "Yujiao, are you awake? How do you feel? Are you still cold?"
Seeing this, Mrs. Xu also got up and walked over to ask, and Ren Yaoqi followed behind Mrs. Xu.
Guo Yujiao's lips were still a bit dark, but her face was much better than before. The water in the lake was not deep, and she was rescued in time so she didn't choke on too much water. After being frozen for a while, she didn't recover. The doctor just came to show her and said that it was not a big problem.
"Yujiao, did you tell me that Jiang Yuanniang pushed you into the water just now?" Madam Meng asked.
"Yes, it's her." Guo Yujiao said hoarsely, "Aunt, I'm cold."
Mrs. Meng immediately instructed the maid, "Go get the bed and quilt. Where's the hand stove? Bring more hand stoves." After the order was finished, she said to Mrs. Xu, "Madam, you heard it too, Yu Jiao said. It was the girl from the Jiang family who pushed her into the water, so don't be a peacemaker, the Jiang family must explain this to our Guo family."
Mrs. Xu sighed, Guo Yujiao had something to do with her, so she had to ask, but what Mrs. Meng meant was that she wanted to settle accounts with the Jiang family and didn't want her to interfere. Mrs. Meng's attitude was so tough she could Not good what to say.
Mrs. Meng waited for Guo Yujiao to relax a little, and then she was going to take her back. Mrs. Xu did not stop her, but instructed the maids and old ladies to carefully lift Guo Yujiao into the carriage together with the soft collapse. Mrs. Meng hurriedly took her with her. Guo Yujiao left, probably wanting to go to Jiang's house to reason.
After everyone left, Mrs. Xu rubbed her forehead tiredly, and Shi Jin sat down with Mrs. Xu and pressed the acupuncture points on her head.
Mrs. Xu pulled Ren Yaoqi and sat down: "Thank you for your hardship today."
Ren Yaoqi shook his head. Seeing that Mrs. Xu's face was not very good, he also began to massage the acupuncture points on her hand: "I didn't do anything, just see off the guests."
Mrs. Xu squeezed Ren Yaoqi's hand, and then asked Mammy Gao to be called in, and asked, "What the hell is going on, have you checked it out?"
Mrs. Xu didn't mean to let Ren Yaoqi avoid it, and Ren Yaoqi continued to sit there and massage the acupuncture points for Mrs. Xu.
Mammy Gao said: "It was Miss Guo who proposed to go for a walk by the lake. Later, for some unknown reason, Miss Guo suddenly lost her temper and pointed at Miss Jiang's Eighth. Miss Jiang's temperament was good and she didn't reply. She defended herself in a low voice, and Miss Jiang Liu was also at the side to mediate for the two. Afterwards, Second Young Master Yun suddenly appeared. Seeing that they were arguing, Second Young Master Yun did not step forward. At this moment, Miss Guo suddenly fell into the lake. inside."
Mrs. Xu frowned: "Who rescued Miss Guo's family?"
Madam Gao understood what Madam Xu meant, and hurriedly said, "Miss Guo, a woman in the Jiang family who knows water, was rescued. Although they were arguing, they turned away the people who were serving them, but the maids did not. Dare to go too far. After the eldest Miss Guo fell into the water, although Er Gongzi Yun was very close to them, he did not go into the water to save people, maybe because he was afraid of getting into trouble, he turned and left without waiting for Miss Guo to go ashore to be rescued. , It was Miss Jiang Ba who called a woman who knew water in her home to save her, but fortunately the water in the lake is not deep."
Madam Xu shook her head and said nothing.
If Yun Wenfang went to rescue Guo Yujiao, he would be even more involved. It's just that he is so resolute that he will not be saved, and it is inevitable that people will feel that he is too cold.
Mammy Gao thought for a while, and then hesitantly said: "But some people say that the eighth miss of the Jiang family doesn't seem to be able to push people into the water, but it is possible that the second son of Yun used some means to push the eldest miss of the Guo family. ."
Yun Wenfang has a marriage contract with Jiang Yuanniang, and he has a disregarding temperament. It is not impossible to vent his anger on his fiancee because he sees that he has been wronged. Although Yun Wenfang was not close to Guo Yujiao at the time, he had martial arts skills, and it was not impossible that Guo Yujiao fell into the water by any means.
Mrs. Xu frowned and said, "Don't mention the unfounded things in the future. Please explain to the people below, don't go out and talk about it."
Grandma Gao responded quickly.
Ren Yaoqi silently listened to what happened, and did not express any opinion.
After Mrs. Xu's face looked better, she patted Ren Yaoqi's hand lightly: "You are tired too, go back, I will arrange someone to see you off."
Ren Yaoqi had nothing to do with staying here, so he nodded and said goodbye to Mrs. Xu.
When they came out, the snow had stopped outside, but it was still very cold. Ren Yaoqi still put on his hood, and the wide and thick brim almost covered half of her face.
When she saw Yun Wenfang appear in front of her again, Ren Yaoqi didn't show any surprise. She lowered her eyes and looked very indifferent.
Yun Wenfang was very happy to see her. He must have been waiting here for a long time. Although no snowflakes fell on his body, his deerskin boots were wet.
"You finally came out!"
He came over, his scorching gaze fell on the exposed half of Ren Yaoqi's face, and then at a speed that no one could react, he reached out and lifted Ren Yaoqi's hat.
Ren Yaoqi frowned, Apple and Sang Ling hurried up and stood in front of Ren Yaoqi, blocking Yun Wenfang, staring at him vigilantly, like a thief.
Yun Wenfang didn't care, his attention was all on Ren Yaoqi, and he even looked at her slightly lost.
I haven't seen each other for nearly three years, and Ren Yaoqi has grown taller. Although she can't see her figure because she wears too thick clothes, she can also guess that she must be slender and graceful. The originally delicate facial features have been opened, making her appearance more and more outstanding. It is undeniable that Ren Yaoqi is a rare beauty. In addition, she has a special peaceful and gentle temperament. Yun Wenfang is a little bit. Can't take my eyes off.
"Have you been doing well these past few years?" Yun Wen asked aloud.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Yun Wenfang and replied as calmly as possible: "Thank you, Second Young Master Yun, for your concern, I'm fine."
Yun Wenfang curled his lips and smiled, still looking at her: "That's good, I've been..." After a pause, he turned around and said, "Do you remember what I said in the letter when I left?" Yun Wenfang There was some unnoticeable anticipation in his tone.
Ren Yaoqi sighed secretly, lowered his head and said, "Second Young Master Yun, are you coming back to get married this time? I can't go to watch the ceremony, so I can only congratulate you in advance."
The smile on Yun Wenfang's face froze when he heard this, he looked at Ren Yaoqi and frowned: "Who told you that I want to get married! Even if I want to marry, I will not marry Jiang Yuanniang, who do I want to marry you? Don't you know?"
Yun Wenfang has always been friendly since he met Ren Yaoqi, and he is trying to restrain his temper. But until now, because of Ren Yaoqi's words, he was very irritable and a little uneasy.
In fact, he has matured a lot over the years, and he is no longer as reckless and reckless as he was when he was young, but Ren Yaoqi's words still make him unbearable and impulsive.
At this moment, there is no one else nearby but them, Ren Yaoqi said with a wry smile: "Second Master Yun, when you give something to others, have you never considered whether they want it or not?"
Yun Wenfang's face became completely cold when he heard the words, and he asked with a stiff face, "Ren Yaoqi, what do you mean?"
Ren Yaoqi looked at him calmly, she didn't speak, but her indifferent expression explained everything.
Yun Wenfang clenched his fists unconsciously, he gritted his teeth and endured it, and finally suppressed the anger and panic that came out of his heart.
After a moment of silence, he pursed his lips and said, "Ren Yaoqi, I have been injured sixteen times in the past three years, and I almost couldn't wake up three times."
