Ren Yaoqi's face paled. No wonder the Han family had risen so quickly. It turned out they had the support of the Yanbei Palace. If that were the case, how could she possibly fight the Han family? The Yanbei Palace held the same status in Yanbei as the Li family held in Jiangnan.
Noticing that Ren Yaoqi's expression was not right, Xiao Jingxi sighed softly, thought for a moment and said, "Since we are tied today, you naturally don't have to tell me these things. I will just pretend that I don't know anything about this matter."
Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jingxi and said, "Did Han Yunshan ask the Yanbei Palace to investigate the conspiracy against the Han family?"
Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi without saying a word.
Ren Yaoqi understood.
The Yanbei Palace is the master of the Ren family. I have suffered a loss and cannot find out the cause myself, so I came to the master for help.
That's why Xiao Jingxi asked her to come here.
Xiao Jingxi was not being bored or deliberately teasing.
"Fifth sister Ren, you'd better take care of yourself." Xiao Jingxi smiled and gave kind advice.
This time he accidentally saved Zhu Ruomei, and happened to know that someone in the Yanbei Palace was investigating this matter, so he inadvertently got involved.
Ren Yaoqi was silent for a moment, but then he said sharply, "Just now, Second Young Master Xiao said that the Han family is the person that the Yanbei Palace wants to use, but the Han family is not the young master's people, right?"
Xiao Jingxi raised his eyebrows: "What's the difference? I'm also from the Yanbei Palace."
Ren Yaoqi smiled and said, "I feel more relaxed if I think about it this way." Then Ren Yaoqi knelt down and bowed to Xiao Jingxi, "I am sorry for being rude today. Thank you, Second Young Master Xiao."
Ren Yaoqi turned and left.
She did not ask Xiao Jingxi to give up the Han family.
Xiao Jingxi was right. He was also a member of the Yanbei Palace, so naturally, his interests were his top priority. She had only met him twice, and their friendship wasn't that deep. Why should she ask him to go against the family's interests just for her? It was simply unreasonable.
However, the reason why the Yanbei Palace used the Han family was because the Han family had value and could be used by the Yanbei Palace. If this matter could be clarified, there would be a chance to bring down the Han family.
She only learned from Xiao Jingxi today that the Han family was employed by the Yanbei Palace. She didn't even know about it in her previous life. This meant that the Han family was very likely to be the secret servant of the Yanbei Palace, or that what the Han family was going to do was secret, so Xiao Jingxi would definitely not reveal it to her.
She kept reminding herself to stay calm and not to lose her composure because of the news.
However, today Xiao Jingxi was willing to cover up for her, indicating that the conflict of interests between the Han family and the Yanbei Palace was not too deep, and the Yanbei Palace just "wanted to use the Han family."
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel grateful to Xiao Jingxi, and her previous dissatisfaction with him also disappeared. If it weren't for Xiao Jingxi's advice, she might not know how she would lose in the future.
