Xiao Jingxi smiled thoughtfully, not knowing what he was thinking about. "However, I didn't expect that someone would catch up with them before my people. They might have rescued them by now."
Xiao Jinglin frowned and asked, "Who is he? Is he reliable? Why don't your people do it themselves?"
Xiao Jingxi smiled and said, "I just think that person is more suitable to take action than me."
Seeing Xiao Jinglin was about to speak, Xiao Jingxi continued, "I heard that Mrs. Ren San has been looking for a marriage partner for Miss Ren San recently? Who knows if it will be the right time this time."
Xiao Jinglin narrowed his eyes, wondering why Xiao Jingxi changed the subject so quickly? And what did Ren Yaohua's marriage have to do with him? Wasn't it Yaoqi he was after?
But the princess was no fool, and figured it out almost immediately. She glared at Xiao Jingxi with a strange expression and asked, "Are you afraid that if Ren Yaohua's marriage isn't resolved, it will be a long time before Yaoqi's turn?"
Xiao Jingxi: "..."
Xiao Jinglin looked at Xiao Jingxi with disdain and said, "Then you'd better hope that this matter can be successfully concluded as you wish. Otherwise, if Yaoqi finds out that you knew her sister was in danger and yet you are so leisurely trying to use this opportunity to marry her off first, what will she do?"
Xiao Jingxi's face froze, and he coughed lightly, "I didn't set her sister up. It's just that someone was already preparing to rescue her, so it would be redundant for me to go in. It would be better for me to stay calm and help them clean up the mess."
Seeing Xiao Jingxi hurriedly explaining and clearing himself, Xiao Jinglin felt secretly happy. How could outsiders have ever seen Xiao Zexian look so nervous and guilty?
After Xiao Jinglin had admired Xiao Jingxi's rare expression for a while, he smiled calmly and said, "Save these words for later explanation to her!"
After saying that, Xiao Jinglin turned around and left in a cool manner. Since Xiao Jingxi's men had already followed, Ren Yaohua would not really be in danger. Xiao Jinglin was still sure of this.
She also wanted to ask someone to pass a message to Ren Yaoqi so that Ren Yaoqi wouldn't worry.
Xiao Jingxi watched as Xiao Jinglin slammed the door of his study and disappeared, only to smile bitterly. After a moment's thought, he called Tongxi in again and asked him to bring some people with him to check things out, just in case anything went wrong and Ren Yaoqi ended up getting angry with him.
Ren Yaoqi soon received a reply from Xiao Jinglin. Xiao Jinglin said that Xiao Jingxi had already known about this matter when Ren Yaohua's carriage left the city gate, and had sent people to follow and rescue him.
Xiao Jinglin felt that, no matter what, it would be best for Xiao Jingxi to take full responsibility for this matter. Xiao Jinglin didn't feel like she was undermining Xiao Jingxi; she felt she was giving her brother a chance to show off. And she couldn't let some inexplicable person who suddenly appeared take all the credit for Xiao Jingxi's work, right?
Princess Xiao once again nodded secretly for herself, as she had finally grown up from the shadow of her brother's excellence to become a kind and good sister.
Ren Yaoqi was truly relieved after learning that Xiao Jingxi had intervened. She believed that Ren Yaohua would be able to return safely.
