After reading the letter, Rong placed it on the table and looked at Ren Yaoqi and said, "Did Xiao Jingxi ask Princess Yanbei to give it to you?"
Ren Yaoqi sensed the displeasure in Rong's words and was about to say something when Rong frowned and said, "I used to think that although Xiao Jingxi was young, he was calm and trustworthy. I didn't expect that I overestimated him."
Ren Yaoqi sensed the displeasure in Rong's words and was afraid she would blame Xiao Jingxi, so she hurriedly said, "Don't be angry, Grandma. This matter is actually my fault. Second Young Master Xiao has helped me a lot on a daily basis and is quite familiar to me. That's why he asked me to deliver the letter this time. Actually..."
Rong frowned even more and asked, "Are you saying that you are very close to him?"
Ren Yaoqi was speechless. How should she answer this? She would definitely be lying if she said they weren't close, but she couldn't bring herself to say that an unmarried woman was close to an unmarried man.
Rong couldn't help but think about something when looking at Ren Yaoqi's expression.
Ren Yaoqi was just thinking about how to explain his involvement with Xiao Jingxi when he heard Rong Shi say indifferently, "Xiao Jingxi is missing. What does this have to do with us at the Xian Palace? Go back and tell Princess Yanbei that we can't help at all. As for the person Xiao Jingxi was talking about, we don't know who it is."
Rong's answer was somewhat beyond Ren Yaoqi's expectations. She opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she gave a wry smile and replied, "I understand, Grandma. This time I was not thoughtful enough and caused trouble for you and Grandpa. I will be more careful next time."
Perhaps Xiao Jingxi and Prince Xian's Mansion hadn't reached an agreement yet, or perhaps Prince Xian had some other considerations. Now they were regretting their decision, but this wasn't something Ren Yaoqi could interfere with. Prince Xian's Mansion had its own stance and considerations, and she couldn't force it to change its mind just for her own selfish reasons.
Moreover, she had no idea about the whole story. Even if she wanted to promote cooperation between Prince Xian's Mansion and Prince Yanbei's Mansion, she couldn't say anything meaningful.
But despite this, Ren Yaoqi was still a little sad. She was worried that Prince Xian's Mansion was unwilling to help Xiao Jingxi now, and whether Xiao Jingxi could come back safely.
If Xiao Jingxi doesn't come back then...
Perhaps she should ask what exactly Xiao Jingxi and Prince Xian's palace had agreed upon, and see if she could find a way to remedy the situation. After all, if Prince Xian couldn't help, the Yanbei Palace wasn't without help.
Thinking of this, Ren Yaoqi calmed down, but she didn't know whether Rong was willing to tell her. If Rong didn't say it, should she think of some way to persuade her?
Rong Shi noticed the change in Ren Yaoqi's expression, but she said nothing. She just lowered her head and took a sip of tea. Then she looked at the rim of the bowl, wondering what she was thinking.
Ren Yaoqi was just about to speak when he heard Li Gan's voice outside, "Who's in there?"
Chuchu replied, "In reply to the master, it is Miss Ren Wu who has arrived and is talking to the old lady in the room."
Li Gan said "hmm", and then the footsteps were getting closer and closer. Walking in.
Sure enough, Li Gan appeared beside the curtain after a while.
Ren Yaoqi hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Grandfather."
Li Gan nodded and said, "Yao Qi is here. Rong, have the kitchen staff roast all the game for her to try."
Rong stood up and waited for Li Gan to sit down on the kang before sitting down with Ren Yaoqi. She smiled and said, "I have already given the order."
Li Gan nodded, then saw the letter on the kang table. He looked at Rong and Ren Yaoqi, then reached out to pick up the letter and opened it steadily.
