She didn't believe that Xiao Jingxi, who had been praised by Mr. Pei, would not think of what Ren Yaoqi could think of.
Dongsheng thought about it and was at a loss: "Who could it be?"
"I'm not the Second Young Master Xiao, nor am I from the Yanbei Palace." Ren Yaoqi said uncertainly. All this was just her guess.
She had too little information to make any judgement. Moreover, if the person she met was Xiao Jingxi, the timing of his appearance was too coincidental.

Here, Ren Yaoqi and Dongsheng were guessing the identity of the person who intercepted and killed the imperial messenger and finally cleaned up the body.
There are also people over there tracking the whereabouts of this secret letter.
The young man, who had changed into a blue wide-sleeved robe, was also standing by the window, listening to the report from the black-clothed man who was kneeling on one knee. His ink-black eyes quietly watched the continuous rain outside the window gradually becoming thinner, and his eyes seemed to be shrouded in mist that made it impossible to see clearly.
Raindrops were still dripping intermittently from the gaps in the tiles, dripping into a pair of old granite fish tanks with lotus patterns on three sides placed under the eaves, causing the water in the tanks to overflow.

The young man withdrew his gaze from the window, seemed to think for a moment, and asked calmly, "Are you sure that person is from the Li family?"
"I have confirmed that the man was an attendant of the former Crown Prince Li You. He was also accompanied by a woman from the Ren family in Baihe Town."
"Ren family?" The young man's tone was still calm and peaceful, but there was a hint of thought between his brows. But after a moment, he smiled faintly and nodded, "I understand. You go."
The subordinate in black was stunned. Does the master not want to take care of it anymore?

There was duplicate content at the end of the previous chapter before it was revised. It should be gone after refreshing.
I wrote it too quickly and was not satisfied with some details, so I revised it.
It does not affect the overall plot, it is just to make the writing smoother.
However, in order to prevent some readers from feeling uncomfortable, I will charge for this 67 chapters as 000 words.
ps: A friend of mine at home is on vacation and needs to be sent back to school for classes, so I’m back late. I’m sorry.
It's not a son, don't guess.
The previous chapters will be posted later. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
