Chapter 114: Interrogation

"Are you coming with Xiao Er Gongzi?" Ren Yaoqi asked with a smile.
Zhu Ruomei shook her head: "After I got well a few days ago, the son let me go back to Yunyang City to see my mother. The son said that there will be things to be handled by me for a while, and I will take care of myself if I have nothing to do now. I came to Baihe Town to see Uncle Yuan and the others, and I just wanted to ask Miss Wu if there is anything I can do for you."
"You don't need to be with Xiao Er Gongzi?" Ren Yaoqi asked when he heard him say this.
Zhu Ruomei grinned and shook her head and said: "I listen to what the son said, and I will stay in Baihe Town in the future."
Seeing Ren Yaoqi a little surprised, Zhu Ruomei lowered her voice and said in a low voice: "I should be allowed to stay in Bailong Temple, but I haven't explained what I will do."
White Dragon Temple? Ren Yaoqi pondered slightly, and combined with the news he heard from Dongsheng before, she guessed that Xiao Jingxi's letting Zhu Ruomei stay in the Bailong Temple should have something to do with the Tibetan soldiers in that temple.
Zhu Ruomei had a talent in her last life, so this is a good thing for him.
"Although Young Master Xiao did not let you go with him to the Yanbei Palace, he must have made such an arrangement." Ren Yaoqi was worried that Zhu Ruomei would make this arrangement because Xiao Jingxi did not value him, and whispered. .
"Miss Five, don't worry, I can save it." Zhu Ruomei nodded.
After a pause, he said again: "If Miss Five needs help in the future, let the Yuan family talk to me. As long as I can do it by Zhu Ruomei, I will never refuse."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but laugh, jokingly: "I don't have the guts to someone from Young Master Xiao."
Zhu Ruomei smiled embarrassedly when he heard the words, and then said seriously: "Second Young Master Xiao said, as long as I do what he tells me to do well, it won't give me too many restrictions. So you are the fifth lady. Don't worry."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows secretly, Xiao Jingxi was so generous?
But if this is the case, naturally it couldn't be better.
What she lacks most now is the outside manpower, the manpower in the inner courtyard can still be cultivated by herself, but it is difficult to find the manpower in the outer courtyard that can be trusted.
So she smiled and said: "You have a heart. If you need your help, I will let someone find you."
Zhu Ruomei grinned again, Ren Yaoqi discovered that this tall and strong man was actually a very laughter.
It was just past noon, and it was supposed to be time for dinner, but in this small alley, except for the carriage and a few of them blocked by Xiao Jinglin in the middle of the alley, no one was seen. They could see a few burdens when they came in before. The salesman carrying the cargo load and the hurried passers-by were deserted at the moment.
"This alley is so remote? Isn't there no business here?" Ren Yaoqi only noticed this problem and couldn't help asking.
When Zhu Ruomei heard the words, she glanced around, but said in a low voice: "The second son of Xiao once told Tongde beside him a few words when he left before, and then Tongde left for a while, and soon this alley It's clean. Although Miss Wu can't see anyone else, there are actually many people from the Yanbei Palace in the dark in this alley. Presumably Tongde also made people guard the entrance of the alley outside, and there are no other people. Wait for it in."
Ren Yaoqi was stunned when he heard this. When Xiao Jing went west, he ordered someone to clear the field?
Are you afraid that someone will break in and disturb Xiao Jinglin? However, based on Xiao Jinglin's temperament, it should be right not to compare these things. When they came in before, although Xiao Jinglin also said that there were guards in the dark, they had never stopped others from entering the alley.
Ren Yaoqi was speculating wildly, and Zhu Ruomei said: "Miss Fifth, here is the sun, you should get in the car first? I will live at Yuan Dayong's house these few days. If you have something to do, you can ask me to go to Yuan's house to find me. ."
Seeing that Xiao Jinglin had been in the car to wait for her, Ren Yaoqi nodded and walked to the carriage.
Zhu Ruomei watched her get into the carriage, and he turned to leave when the carriage left the alley.
After Ren Yaoqi got on the bus, Xiao Jinglin nodded and told Dongsheng outside to drive away, without asking what Ren Yaoqi and Zhu Ruomei had said.
The carriage drove away from the alley, Ren Yaoqi deliberately paid attention to the entrance of the alley, and he saw two people dressed as guards guarding it.
The carriage stopped on the street in front, Ren Yaoqi ordered Apple to get off the car to call up the maids who had been in the teahouse and return to Ren's house together.
"Do you know the princess and Sister Mo's family?" Ren Yaoqi casually chatted with Xiao Jinglin.
Xiao Jinglin nodded: "Mo Kai was originally an veteran who was stationed at Jiajing Pass. A few years ago, when he was taking people out of the city on patrol, he encountered a small group of Liao cavalry. The two sides were fighting together, and Mo Kai found that the group was covering one. The scout let him escape and ran after him alone, but he didn't want to meet another pair of Liaoqi. Because he was outnumbered, Mo Kai was afraid that the scout would have information that would be unfavorable to our army, so he leaped and rolled down. Over the cliff."
Mo Kai should be Mo's sister-in-law's husband and Mo Xiaoliang's father.
Ren Yaoqi was silent for a moment when he heard the words: "So does Mo Xiaoliang still have a brother?"
Xiao Jinglin nodded faintly: "Well, although Mo Kai's eldest son Mo Xiaolong is young, he is a very good scout. However, he was missing during a mission last winter."
As a scout, if you disappear, you usually die silently. Many scouts can't find the body. This is normal in the military. It is impossible for Mo Xiaolong to be alive after missing for so long.
No wonder...
Although Xiao Jinglin's tone was calm, Ren Yaoqi felt a little heavy in her heart.
The two did not speak again along the way.
The carriage quickly arrived at the door of Ren's house. Xiao Jinglin lifted the driving curtain and glanced at the door of Ren's house, and said to Ren Yaoqi, "I won't go in."
Ren Yaoqi knew that Xiao Jinglin might not be accustomed to life in the inner courtyard, nor did he like chatting and laughing with those wives in the boudoir, nodded and smiled: "Then I will go back first. By the way, when will the princess leave? Baihe Town?"
Xiao Jinglin thought for a while: "I followed Xiao Jing to the west this time. I won't stay long. I should be back to Yunyang City at the latest tomorrow."
"If the princess still needs someone to accompany him on the trip, send someone to find me." Ren Yaoqi blinked.
Xiao Jinglin hooked her mouth and nodded slightly.
Ren Yaoqi got out of the carriage and entered the Ren mansion.
Before reaching the second gate, a woman rushed out of it and walked to Ren Yaoqi with a smile: "Miss Fifth, are you back? The old lady and the old lady are waiting for you in Ronghua Yuan, and ordered the servants. I will call you over as soon as I see you in the house."
Hearing this, Ren Yaoqi didn't feel the slightest surprise, and nodded, and followed the woman in Ronghuayuan to see Old Lady Ren and Lady Ren.
Originally, at this time, Mrs. Ren should have used up lunch and wanted to take a nap, but today he was sitting with Mrs. Ren on the south kang in the right room and talking. Seeing Ren Yaoqi coming in, Mrs. Ren first smiled and said: " Five girls are back? Have you had any meals?"
Old lady Ren also looked at Ren Yaoqi and smiled, the dimples on her face made her look very kind: "There is still hot lotus soup in the small kitchen."
Ren Yaoqi stepped forward and saluted: "Thank you grandfather and grandmother for remembering, granddaughter has already eaten."
The old lady beckoned to her, pointing to the position beside her and said: "Come here and sit and talk."
Ren Yaoqi looked at the "throne" next to the old lady Ren, thought for a while, lowered his head and stepped forward, but sat on the small Jin Xiao next to him. She was a little shy and said: "Granddaughter should sit here, and listen to the teachings of grandfather and grandmother."
Old man Ren touched his beard and laughed.
Old lady Ren grotesquely said: "You child..." She thought she was shy and shy, but she was no longer reluctant.
"Where did you go to play with the princess today?" Elder Ren finally began to question.
"First I went around the city and found that there was nothing fun outside the city, so I went back to the city. Because the princess doesn't like a busy place with people, he randomly found a humble little shop for lunch. He came back." Ren Yaoqi said honestly.
"Oh? Outside the city? Isn't it just near our Ren's coal mine?" Old lady Ren thought thoughtfully.
Ren Yaoqi's heart turned secretly, what does the old man Ren mean? Do you think that Xiao Jinglin's motivation for finding Ren Jialai is not pure, and that the Yanbei Royal Mansion is interested in Ren's coal mine?
The mouth did not stop and said: "Originally, the granddaughter hadn't paid attention to it. My grandfather remembered that when he said that the granddaughter said that, we also ran into a camel caravan carrying Ren Jia on the road. It should be near the coal mine."
Old Mrs. Ren and Mrs. Ren looked at each other, both of them were thinking deeply.
"What did the princess and you talked about? Did you mention our Ren family?" the old lady Ren asked.
Ren Yaoqi thought about it for a while: "I didn't say anything about Ren's family. I talked about horses and camels carrying coal for a while."
Grandpa Ren frowned and said, "Horse and camel?"
Ren Yaoqi nodded.
"Is there anything else? I heard that the princess asked you to dismiss everyone around you, leaving only a girl to serve?" the old lady asked again.
"The princess said that she didn't like people to follow, so I let me send them away. The princess always told me about some things she encountered outside the Guan, and also asked me how I spent time in my boudoir. Don't ...I don't know what the old lady is referring to?" Ren Yaoqi asked puzzledly.
"Is the princess in Baihe Town alone this time?" Old lady Ren asked.
"It seems that he came with the second son of the Xiao family, and the second son of the Xiao family is going to do something, so the princess came to me."
The old lady Ren smiled more and more kindly: "Then how long will they stay in Baihe Town? Since you are familiar with the princess, how come our Ren family should do our best as a landlord and have a good feast. If we can, we will also give Xiao Xiao It couldn’t be better if the second son is invited."
Old man Ren also smiled and nodded: "Your grandmother is right. Can you see if you can give the princess another post?"
