Xiao Jingxi treated his sister-in-law, Ren Yaohua, with great respect and courtesy. Ren Yaohua, mindful of her pregnant sister needing Xiao Jingxi's constant protection, gave him face and avoided any sneering. Otherwise, if he dared to lay his hands on her maid, Ren Yaohua would definitely make things difficult for him. After all, she was willing to let him go, and it was all out of consideration for Ren Yaoqi, but she still felt a little angry towards Xiao Jingxi and his subordinate, Ren Yaohua, who had a unique vision.
Xiao Jingxi faced the cold gaze of his sister-in-law, walked up to Ren Yaoqi and said with a smile: "Do you want to go and take a look together? It's in Yingya Pavilion anyway, not far away. I haven't been out for a long time, so it's nice to go for a walk."
Ren Yaoqi thought about it and looked at Ren Yaohua again.
Ren Yaohua said, "Go ahead. It's not good to stay stuck in the house all the time."
Ren Yaoqi agreed.
The three of them left Zhaoning Palace together. Ren Yaohua saw Xiao Jingxi walking beside Ren Yaoqi and protecting her very carefully, and her previous dissatisfaction with Xiao Jingxi disappeared a lot.
Xiangqin followed Ren Yaohua with a happy face. She didn't know where her masters were going or who they were going to meet, and naturally, she didn't know what it was for.
So when Xiang Qin followed Ren Yaohua into Yingya Pavilion and saw Xiao Shun standing in the middle of the room, who had been waiting for a long time, her eyes widened immediately: "Huh?"
As a result, Ren Yaohua turned around and glared at her fiercely, which scared her.
Xiao Shun respectfully bowed to the masters, then smiled at Xiang Qin.
Xiang Qin immediately forgot Ren Yaohua's warning and gave Xiao Shun a big silly smile and winked at him.
Although Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi didn't say anything, they were secretly observing Xiao Shun, so they also noticed Xiangqin's little movements. Ren Yaohua was so angry that her head hurt, but Ren Yaoqi laughed.
"You go down first!" Ren Yaohua said to Xiang Qin.
Xiang Qin blinked and looked at Xiao Shun. Although she really wanted to stay, she still retreated obediently without saying a word. Before leaving, she smiled brightly at Xiao Shun.
After Xiang Qin left, Ren Yaohua began to scrutinize Xiao Shun. She had assumed Xiao Jingxi's capable subordinates would be tall, strong, and athletic, but she hadn't expected Xiao Shun to be like this, and she felt somewhat dissatisfied.
Xiao Jingxi guessed what Ren Yaohua was thinking. Thinking about the difficulties he encountered when he first proposed to Ren Yaoqi, he couldn't help but feel some sympathy for his subordinate. He took the initiative to break the deadlock: "His name is Xiao Shun. He is in charge of the prison in the Yanbei Palace. He has an older brother who is the commander of the palace guards. The two brothers have practiced martial arts with me since they were young. Although Xiao Shun can't compare with his brother, he is not bad either."
The second half of what the Second Young Master Xiao said is the key. What he meant was that although Xiao Shun looks like this, he is also a martial artist and is definitely not a weak person.
As expected, Ren Yaohua's expression improved. She asked Xiao Shun some more questions.
Xiao Shun usually has a somewhat cold temperament, but today he tried his best to look gentler. When he answered Ren Yaohua's words, he was respectful and well-mannered, so that Ren Yaohua could not find any fault with him.
In fact, apart from the fact that he looked too good and a little thin, Ren Yaohua didn't have much opinion about Xiao Hua.
Finally, Ren Yaohua said, "My maid has been capricious since she was young. Like a monkey, she would definitely not be liked even if she got married. She has followed me since she was young. I don't want her to suffer any loss, so I plan to keep her for a few more years to let her control her temper. Although I don't know what you like about my maid, what can you say to convince me to let her go?"
Xiao Shun thought for a moment and replied succinctly, "I think her genuine nature is precious. I will treat her well in the future."
Ren Yaohua glanced at Xiao Shun and said nothing.
Ren Yaoqi knew that Xiao Shun's simple answer actually satisfied Ren Yaohua. Ren Yaohua preferred down-to-earth people to those who were good at sweet talk.
"You go back first. I'll think about it." Ren Yaohua said to Xiao Shun.
