Xiao Jinglin said expressionlessly, "No need to investigate. It's obvious who's behind this. We haven't caught her in the act yet. Further investigation won't do anything to her, and she might even get bitten back."
The housekeeper looked at Xiao Jingxi.
Xiao Jingxi thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Everyone, go down. You take care of the tea room. Don't make anything about what happened today public for now. We'll talk about it after the Qianjin Banquet."
The housekeeper nodded in agreement and had the maids, who were frightened half to death, taken away.
Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin, brother and sister, seemed to have tacitly acknowledged that they had suffered a loss, and chose to remain silent about the matter.
But there was no sign of being wronged on their faces.
Ren Yaoqi knew who they were referring to, but she couldn't interfere in the disputes in the palace. However, she was still worried about Xiao Jingxi's hand. After the others had left, she hurriedly asked, "Do you want to see a doctor for your hand?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingxi stretched out his right hand and placed it in front of Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi was surprised to find that Xiao Jingxi's originally swollen thumb and index finger had disappeared and were only slightly red.
"I told you it's okay, are you relieved now?" Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi and smiled.
Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jingxi's hand, then at him, and finally swallowed all the questions in her mind. She just said, "I'm glad you're okay. But... let's go back and have a doctor take a look."
Xiao Jingxi couldn't help but smile: "Okay."
He agreed so readily that Ren Yaoqi didn't know what to say.
Instead, Xiao Jingxi laughed and said, "Ordinary poisons have no effect on me."
Ren Yaoqi blinked, thinking, "You shouldn't tell me this secret, right?" But seeing the calm smile on Xiao Jingxi's face, Ren Yaoqi felt a little sad. To dispel this unpleasant feeling, she joked, "Is the legendary invulnerability to all poisons referring to someone like you?"
Xiao Jingxi was stunned when he heard this, then smiled slightly. He looked at Ren Yaoqi and said slowly and gently, "So you know another secret of mine."
Ren Yaoqi: “…”
Xiao Jinglin looked at this and then that, thought for a moment, and remained silent. She thought about how her master had taught her how to conceal her presence when infiltrating the enemy camp. It turned out there were other uses, like now, for making her presence very low.
"You have a really good memory." Ren Yaoqi said helplessly.
"So I also remember that I still owe you a bet." Xiao Jingxi said with a smile.
Ren Yaoqi thought for a moment and said, "How about I get it back today?"
"But please tell me." Xiao Jingxi was very curious about what Ren Yaoqi wanted, and Xiao Jinglin also looked over with great interest.
Ren Yaoqi said, "During the Qianjin Banquet, I want you to help me keep an eye on a few people."
