Xiao Jingxi smiled slightly, looked at the ink painting landscape that Master Ren had just drawn, and said, "Father seems to have forgotten to sign?"
Mr. Ren San nodded, got up and went out to get his private seal.
Xiao Jingxi then asked Ren Yaoqi, "Why did you come here with your mother?"
Ren Yaoqi glanced at his father's back and whispered, "Just now, the maid went to tell us that you and your father quarreled in the study, and my father smashed something in a fit of anger. My mother and I were worried and came over to have a look."
Xiao Jingxi couldn't help laughing. Looking at Ren Yaoqi, he said softly, "In your heart, I'm just so unreasonable? Even my father-in-law won't let me go?"
Ren Yaoqi also lowered his head and smiled, and then asked, "What happened just now? It's impossible that the people serving in the yard are all ears, right?"
Xiao Jingxi seemed to have thought of something, looking at Ren Yaoqi, the smile on his face was very gentle: "Before, I played chess with my father-in-law, and the bet we settled on was our 'most cherished thing'."
Ren Yaoqi didn't realize Xiao Jingxi's special meaning for a while, she frowned and thought about it: "My father's most cherished things are the three ancient paintings in the drawer under his desk." She didn't think her father was a The person who will lose the bet.
Xiao Jingxi sighed, quietly held Ren Yaoqi's hand, squeezed it lightly, and said with a smile, "Actually, I knew that my father would definitely not win against me, so I wanted to ask him for something... You, not his three ancient paintings."
Ren Yaoqi was stunned for a while, his face flushed, and he even forgot to take out his hand from Xiao Jingxi.
Xiao Jingxi stared at Ren Yaoqi intently, "So when he wanted to find out the painting and give it to me, I declined. My father was not satisfied with this and asked me if he just thought he couldn't afford to lose, and then he was not careful. I knocked over the pen washer on the edge of the desk. It may be because of this that people who heard the movement outside misunderstood."
Ren Yaoqi glanced in the direction that Master Ren left, and then pretended to be calm and twitched his hand, and Xiao Jingxi gently let go.
"When I saw my father insisted, I said that I thought he cherished which of his masterpieces the most, so I asked for one of his paintings, and my father thought about it and agreed."
At this time, the footsteps of Master Ren were already coming here, and Ren Yaoqi did not continue to whisper to Xiao Jingxi, and the two of them sat upright.
When Master Ren came in with his own seal, he still glanced suspiciously at his daughter and son-in-law, who were sitting upright, before sitting a few times before the case and stamping his own private seal on his paintings.
At this time, someone outside reported: "Master, the eldest uncle is here, and the horse is almost at the main entrance."
Master Ren said: "After the eldest uncle comes in, let him go to the main room first, and the second uncle and I will come right away."
The people outside quickly responded.
Master Ren said to Xiao Jingxi, "Let's go first, this painting is temporarily left here to hang out, and you can take it with you when you leave."
Xiao Jingxi naturally had no reason not to.
Master Ren looked at him a few times and commented reservedly: "The chess skills are good, if you have the opportunity to accompany me to play another game." After saying that, Master Ren glanced at his daughter with some dissatisfaction, "Yaoyao didn't like it when she was at home. Play chess with me." His tone was indeed a bit complaining.
Ren Yaoqi blinked and looked at Master Ren, feeling that he was really wronged. Isn't her father's favorite thing to write and draw? She is with her! As for playing chess, her father was not happy for her to let him play chess, and if he always lost chess, it would definitely affect his old man's mood, so Ren Yaoqi didn't play chess with her father very often.
Xiao Jingxi knew with knowledge and interest, and hurriedly said with a smile: "As long as my father is free in the future, the younger son-in-law is willing to accompany him."
Ren Yaoqi squinted at Xiao Jingxi and thought to himself: It's as if you are very idle! When my father asks you to come and you can't come, let's see what you say.
Xiao Jingxi didn't say anything to Yao Qi's suspicious eyes, but still responded with a gentle smile.
Master Ren should go out first: "Let's go to the main room first."
Knowing that Lei Ting was coming, Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jingxi could not delay, so they went out with Master Ren.
Lei Ting came to Ren's house today for Xiao Jingxi to bring Ren Yaoqi back home. Ren Yaohua has not yet given birth, so naturally he can't go back to his mother's house. Originally thought Lei Ting was busy, and he definitely didn't have time, so Li Shi and Ren Shimin didn't specially send someone to inform the Lei family, because he didn't want Lei Ting to come over by himself.
The people who waited outside the study were originally a little nervous, but when they saw Master Ren coming out, there was no anger on their faces. Turning around and having a few words with the second uncle, the atmosphere was very peaceful.
After everyone looked at each other in dismay, they couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Ren Yaoqi looked at everyone's eyes, and then glanced at Xiao Jingxi, and couldn't help but feel a little funny. She was also concerned before, otherwise, how could she believe that Xiao Jingxi would make her father angry? If she could really quarrel with her father, it would not be Second Young Master Xiao.
However, Ren Yaoqi was in a happy mood. After he left the hospital, he gave a little discount when he saw Ren Yaoying who happened to come out of the main room. Some people you can't tell how much you hate or hate her, but when she appears in front of you, it's definitely not a happy thing.
Sure enough, Ren Yaoying just raised her head and glanced here, and then she stepped up and walked over. When the maids and old ladies who followed her saw Master Ren, she secretly cried out in her heart, "No, wait." Seeing that Ren Yaoying really ran towards them, her face turned green, but the second uncle was also present, so it was really difficult for them to blatantly catch up and take Ren Yaoying back forcibly. In this case, the Ren family's face will not look good.
So after a few old ladies looked at each other, they closely followed Yaoying, who was in office, and whispered: "Miss Jiu, madam asks you to go back to the room now, you have to go back with the slaves."
Ren Yaoying said: "I'll go back to say hello to daddy, and my second brother-in-law. It's rude to ignore them when they meet them."
So Ren Yaoying ran to Master Ren, Xiao Jingxi and Ren Yaoqi smoothly.
Ren Yaoqi stood there and didn't move, his face was pale, and the smile he used to put on his lips was still there.
Ren Yaoying came forward to salute Mr. Ren Yingying. The kneeling posture and bowing arc seemed to have been practiced thousands of times. They were all just right, with a soft and weak beauty.
Master Ren frowned: "Didn't your mother let you rest in the house? Why did you run out?"
Ren Yaoying bowed her head and said softly, "My daughter knows that the fifth sister is going home today, so she came out to greet the fifth sister and the fifth brother-in-law."
Ren Yaoying couldn't find anything wrong with Ren Yaoying's words, so he didn't say anything.
Ren Yaoying's gaze stopped on Xiao Jingxi's face, and she couldn't help being stunned, especially when she saw the smile on Xiao Jingxi's face, she blushed and lowered her head, saluting a little cautiously: "This is the fifth brother-in-law. Right? My sister is being polite.”
Master Ren said: "I saw Li too, you should go back to your room first."
Not wanting Ren Yaoying, she glanced at Ren Yaoqi hesitantly and cowardly, and said, "Fifth sister, are you willing to help me with what I said before?" It became red, and the other Yaoqi was amazed.
"If you don't help me, my sister will have no choice but to die. My sister really doesn't want to marry the master of the He family. If the family insists on forcing me to marry, I will only have three feet of white silk to live with." Said When she got here, Ren Yaoying's face flashed a resolute look, she seemed to be very steadfast, and with her already weak and beautiful face, it was easy to win people's sympathy.
But none of the people present said a word.
Ren Yaoying raised her head, her eyes swept across the faces of the three of them secretly.
Mr. Ren's face is very ugly. He naturally does not want to let his daughter marry a bad old man to embarrass him, but this marriage has been settled by the elders of the Ren family. Now, these are nothing but beating him What's the use of the face? Back then, it was Ren Yaoying who was willing to stay in the Ren family's old house and not return to Yunyang City. He, as a father, was not without resistance.
Xiao Jingxi just glanced over at Ren Yaoying when she appeared, with a calm look as if what he saw was just a floating cloud that suddenly broke into his eyes, and did not startle the slightest wave in his eyes. His attention was never on Ren Yaoying.
Ren Yaoqi looked at Ren Yaoying with a half-smile but not a smile, just like every time Ren Yaoying used self-righteous means in front of her, as if any despicable calculations and dirty thoughts could not escape her eyes .
Although Ren Yaoqi doesn't have the arrogant attitude of looking at people with cold eyes all the time, but whenever she stares at people with such eyes, she is more guilty and self-conscious than Ren Yaohua's knife-like eyes. .
Ren Yaoying was a little guilty and in a dilemma from Ren Yaoqi's eyes.
But today is a rare opportunity, and Ren Yaoying doesn't want to give up.
She thought that Ren Yaoying had only been married to the Yanbei Palace for a few days, and she must be very concerned about her image in front of her husband. If even her own sister died, it would be too deserted. Her husband may have will be dissatisfied with her. So, no matter what, in front of the second son of the Xiao family, Ren Yaoqi is likely to promise her verbally. And as long as Ren Yaoqi agreed verbally, things would be much easier in the future.
Ren Yaoying's calculation ideas are not too wrong. Any newlyweds who have only been married for three days have to show their generous and kind image in front of the newlyweds.
So, Ren Yaoying changed a look of grief and smiled bitterly: "My sister just wants to get rid of this marriage. If my sister can help me, I... I am willing to never marry. From now on, the Tsing Yi Muyu will always be by the Buddha's side."
