He could help with Yun Wenfang and Wu Yiyu, and after what happened today, those two wouldn't be able to stay active for much longer. Ren Yaoyin, while she'd been talking about it, hadn't actually done anything. Furthermore, she and Ren Yaoqi lived under the same roof, making it difficult to guard against them. It would be best to let her emerge from the shadows into the light.
Xiao Jinglin frowned: "What do you think? Let Yaoqi go according to what she said?"
Xiao Jingxi smiled and said, "That's not necessary. I just think she's so cautious that she won't show up in person. This is the Yanbei Palace's villa. It won't be difficult to convince her that Miss Ren Wu has gone to the appointment according to her wishes."
Xiao Jinglin suddenly realized, then looked at Xiao Jingxi with disdain: "Actually, having you here has one advantage."
When Xiao Jingxi saw Xiao Jinglin's expression, he felt that he might not want to hear Xiao Jinglin's next "praise" at all. However, Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jinglin with some interest.
Xiao Jinglin said expressionlessly, "Those sinister villains schemed and schemed, but in the end, they couldn't outsmart you!"
Who is more calculating than a sinister villain?
Xiao Jingxi returned Xiao Jinglin's gentle smile without changing his expression. "It would be great if everyone in this world were like you. Whenever there's a dispute, they all resolve it with their fists. Whoever wins gets to do what's best for them."
Xiao Jinglin rolled her eyes. Don't think she didn't understand that Xiao Jingxi was scolding her for being reckless, strong-limbed but simple-minded. But didn't Xiao Jingxi always keep his temper? Was he so good-tempered that he almost didn't have a temper? What was going on with this angry and irritated attitude?
Seeing that the brother and sister were about to start a fight again, Ren Yaoqi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry and immediately interrupted them: "Then Jinglin and I will go back and wait. Let the Second Young Master take care of things over there."
Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi and nodded: "You guys go back."
Ren Yaoqi pulled Xiao Jinglin back to Lanyue Pavilion, thought for a moment, then turned to Xiao Jingxi and whispered, "Thank you."
Xiao Jingxi didn't have to do all this for her. She asked him to return her bet just to ask him to help keep an eye on Ren Yaoyin and Wu Yiyu. She vaguely felt that Xiao Jingxi was helping her not only because she was his sister's best friend, but Ren Yaoqi didn't want to delve into it further.
Xiao Jingxi didn't say anything, just smiled back at her.
This smile makes people think of the saying "Beauty infuses the soul and brings joy to the heart".
Shortly after Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin returned to Lanyue Pavilion, someone came in to report that the third and fourth daughters of the Ren family had arrived and wanted to see the princess.
Xiao Jinglin looked at Ren Yaoqi thoughtfully: "Are you here to see me?"
Ren Yaoyin still did not forget to involve Ren Yaohua. Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "You go meet them. I'll go wait in the inner room."
Xiao Jinglin nodded and watched Ren Yaoqi enter the inner room before asking Hongying to bring Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoyin over.
As soon as Ren Yaohua came in, she asked, "Princess, is my fifth sister not back yet?"
Xiao Jinglin saw the thin sweat on their faces and looked puzzled: "What happened to Yaoqi?"
Ren Yaohua had just come running over. She looked at Ren Yaoyin and frowned, saying, "I sent someone to invite her to Wutong Garden earlier. Later, my fourth sister said that someone saw my fifth sister not go to Wutong Garden, but was taken to Qiuhong Courtyard in the northwest corner by an unfamiliar maid. We just wanted to go to Qiuheng Courtyard to take a look, but were stopped."
