Scheme of the Official Descendant

Although Ren Yaoqi broke away from the fetters of her family in her previous lifetime, as she erroneously believed in her blood-relatives’ speech and views about sacrificing everything for the family’...

Chapter 419 (2/3)

After Ren Yaoqi left the teahouse, Xiao Jingxi did not leave in a hurry. About a cup of tea later, Xiao Hua came.

Xiao Jingxi, who was standing alone at the side and didn't know what he was thinking, had returned to his usual appearance when Xiao Hua came in. He was wearing black clothes and black hair, with handsome eyes. His every move was full of charm and grace that no one could imitate.

However, when subordinates stood in front of him, they always tended to ignore his appearance and only felt the pressure from the superior. And this side of Xiao Jingxi was something Ren Yaoqi had never seen before.

"How is it?" Xiao Jingxi turned his head to look at Xiao Hua and asked in a calm voice.

Although Xiao Jingxi's face still showed no emotion, Xiao Hua, who had been with him since childhood, was keenly aware that his master seemed to be in a good mood. This made Xiao Hua's originally tense mood relax a little, but he couldn't help but murmur in his heart, "They say a woman's heart is like a child's face, changing at any time. How could the master also have this problem? This is not good!"

However, there is one good thing about Xiao Hua, that is, no matter how his heart races, he always has a deep and steady expression, which makes people feel that he is very reliable.

"My lord, I have just done some investigations and it seems that the reason why Miss Ren's carriage stopped for so long was probably because of Master Pei Zhiyan."

Xiao Jingxi was silent for a moment, then raised his eyebrows: "Pei Zhiyan? Are you sure?"

"It's Lord Pei Zhiyan! Lord Pei arrived in Yunyang City yesterday evening. He didn't alert his colleagues from Kyoto and stayed at the Baiyun Inn in the city. Lord Pei also wandered around Yunyang City last night and early this morning. He just recently went to the villa to meet up with the others."

Xiao Jingxi frowned and remained silent for a moment.

Xiao Hua secretly glanced at Xiao Jingxi, waiting for his next instructions.

He thought that according to his master's intentions, he would definitely be sent to investigate the relationship between Miss Ren and Lord Pei. His master might even have some doubts about Miss Ren's identity. After all, Miss Ren grew up in Yanbei and had never left Yanzhou. It was impossible for her to know Pei Zhiyan. There is a saying that goes, "When something is abnormal, it is a demon."

Marrying a daughter-in-law is a big deal, and there can be no room for carelessness. There are not many people in this world who can be as stupid as Mu Hu and even recognize the wrong person. Xiao Hua thought, maybe his master will send him to Kyoto once? However, if he goes to Kyoto, it will take at least a month to go back and forth. His original plan to ask Nanny Xin, who is by the princess's side, to find Xiao Shunwu a gentle and lovely daughter-in-law will have to be put on hold for the time being. But if this happens, will the master's marriage also be postponed?

Xiao Hua's thoughts were running away when he suddenly heard Xiao Jingxi say, "What Pei Zhiyan said is fine..."

It's just that Xiao Hua's reaction was a little slow, so as soon as Xiao Jingxi opened his mouth, he immediately lowered his head subconsciously and said respectfully: "I obey your orders!"

Xiao Jingxi glanced at Xiao Hua: "..."

Xiao Hua's face froze after he came to his senses.

The master seemed to have said nothing yet, so what was he supposed to do? Xiao Hua silently slapped himself ten times in his heart.

"It's none of your business, go down." Xiao Jingxi was quite tolerant towards his subordinates and did not blame them for this matter.
