Given Xiao Jingxi's background and reputation, it was naturally a matter of great joy to be noticed by him. Although Zhu Ruomei had once worked as a miner in the Ren family due to financial difficulties, he still hoped to have the opportunity to make a career. Otherwise, he would not have practiced martial arts from dawn to dusk all these years and shamelessly went to the Yuan family to ask the steward Yuan to teach him how to read and write.
Now that the opportunity is before him, and he truly owes Xiao Jingxi a life, it is not an exaggeration to have worked for Xiao Jingxi for ten years.
But Ren Yaoqi and Master Ren San also did him a favor. Although he didn't know the reason why Ren Yaoqi asked him to do it this time, he could guess that Ren Yaoqi might have some grudges with the Han family.
He had secretly inquired about the Han family's affairs and knew that both Old Man Han and Han Yunqian were not simple people. Ren Yaoqi designed a family chaos in the Han family. If the Han family knew about it, it would be difficult for her to do things in the future.
If I stay with her, even though I can't help her with big things, I can still help with some errands like this time.
Ren Yaoqi naturally saw the struggle on Zhu Ruomei's face.
Although they hadn't met much, Ren Yaoqi knew Zhu Ruomei was a man of loyalty and discernment. Her decision to help him wasn't really intended to keep him by her side. After all, given her status and position, Zhu Ruomei would at most be the manager of one of her dowry shops. But in her previous life, Zhu Ruomei had been a powerful general under the Second Young Master of the King of Yanbei.
What she actually thought at the beginning was that if one day Zhu Ruomei could have the good fortune from her previous life, she would help her at the critical moment because of her kindness.
Now that Zhu Ruomei herself is willing to work for Xiao Jingxi, what reason does she have to stop him?
"It just so happens that I asked you to find a job in Yunyang City so that you can take care of your mother and sister nearby." Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jingxi with a smile, "Now the Second Young Master Xiao has a keen eye for talent. Based on his good reputation for being kind and friendly, he will definitely make good arrangements for your family so that you don't have to worry about anything. This puts my mind at ease."
Xiao Jingxi was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Ren Yaoqi with a half-smile, but nodded obediently: "Fifth Sister Ren is right."
"You go back and rest. It's time for me to leave too." Ren Yaoqi glanced at Zhu Ruomei and said.
Zhu Ruomei really didn't know what to say. She hesitated for a long time, knowing that some things were not appropriate to say in front of Xiao Jingxi, so she struggled to bow and was then helped back by one of Xiao Jingxi's servants.
Xiao Jingxi suddenly turned his head and looked at Dongsheng, who also wanted to go down with him, with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Dongsheng lowered his head and dared not raise it.
It was indeed because he was worried about Ren Yaoqi that he had gone to, seemingly inadvertently alerting Zhu Ruomei that Ren Yaoqi was coming. Now that he was Xiao Jingxi's follower, he still missed his old master. He knew that this was a taboo for his masters, so he felt guilty and did not dare to meet Xiao Jingxi's penetrating eyes.
Fortunately, Xiao Jingxi just glanced at him and raised his hand to let him go.
Dongsheng turned around and found that the back of his clothes was wet.
After Dongsheng left, Ren Yaoqi thought for a moment and said to Xiao Jingxi sincerely, "Second Young Master Xiao, if someone follows you and becomes indifferent to the safety of his former master, would you dare to use such a person?" She naturally guessed the reason from Dongsheng's expression and Zhu Ruomei's sudden appearance.
Xiao Jingxi smiled slightly: "Then Second Sister Ren, tell me, if one day his new master and old master turn against each other, whose side should he stand on to be considered loyal?"
