Ren Yaoqi looked at her smug look, suppressed a smile and nodded in agreement: "The princess is wise!"
The result was a slight snort from Princess Xiao's nose.
Having said that, after Ren Yaoqi left the teahouse, she still gave the purse that Lei Pan'er had given her to Ping Guo: "Give this to Xueli and ask her to go to the Lei family's farm to find Lei Pan'er's wet nurse and find out about Xiao Qiao's background."
Xue Li has been living in Zhu Ruomei's house in recent years. After a few years of getting along, she has developed a deep relationship with Zhu's family. Zhu Ruomei's mother likes Xue Li very much and has always wanted her to be her daughter-in-law.
Ren Yaoqi originally planned to let Xue Li come back after she came of age. This was also the promise she had made to Xue Li before. However, last time, Ren Yaoqi discovered that Zhu Ruomei and Xue Li seemed to have developed feelings for each other, so after asking Xue Li what she thought, Ren Yaoqi gave up the idea of taking her back. However, Xue Li was her maid after all, and had suffered a lot for her. Zhu Ruomei had helped her a lot over the years. Ren Yaoqi planned to wait for some time to make good arrangements for Xue Li before letting her get married.
Apple went away as she was told. Ren Yaoqi met Xiao Jinglin's disdainful gaze and explained with a smile, "Knowing yourself and your enemy is crucial for a hundred battles. I'll find out more first before letting Third Sister handle it. She's been very busy lately, and after she gets married, it will be difficult for me to help her."
Xiao Jinglin rolled her eyes in her heart, wondering why she still had the illusion that Ren Yaoqi was going to marry off his daughter?
"It's still early, shall we take a carriage around the city?" Ren Yaoqi took Xiao Jinglin's hand and asked with a smile.
Xiao Jinglin didn't want to go back so early, so she suddenly grabbed Ren Yaoqi's hand and excitedly pulled her into the car: "By the way, I know there's a place with delicious braised meat. Come on, I'll take you there!"
Ren Yaoqi was one of the few people who knew Princess Xiao's true nature as a foodie, so he followed her into the carriage without resistance. Xiao Jinglin said that the place was in a remote alley and difficult to find, so he asked Hongying to replace the driver and drive the carriage.
As the carriage was about to pass the South City Gate, it slowed down to avoid the carriages and horses leaving the city. Someone outside the carriage called out hesitantly, "Hong... Hongying?"
Xiao Jinglin raised her eyebrows and opened the curtain of the carriage. Ren Yaoqi turned around and saw the black-faced city defense commander they had met last time standing on the right side of the front of the carriage, rubbing his hands and talking nervously to Hongying.
Because the princess did not ask them to stop, Hongying asked the carriage to continue running after it passed the city gate. The black-faced general trotted and kept a certain distance from the carriage, while greeting Xiao Jinglin.
Xiao Jinglin nodded and lowered the car curtain again, no longer paying attention to what was happening outside.
Hongying seemed to whisper something to the black-faced general.
The black-faced general's voice, naive yet cautious, came faintly: "Hongying, my injuries have healed. When you are free, come and beat me up again... Oh no, come and guide me again."
