Ren Yaoqi didn't think much of it. He thought Li Gan, like Rong Shi, would refuse Xiao Jingxi's request. Unexpectedly, he heard Li Gan ask suspiciously, "Why did the Xiao family kid write so late? Didn't he send someone to him? Maybe they haven't arrived yet?"
Ren Yaoqi was stunned when he heard this, and looked up at Li Gan in confusion: "Grandfather, are you saying that you have already lent the person he borrowed from you?"
Li Gan nodded, glanced at Ren Yaoqi and then at Rong Shi: "Didn't she bring the letter? You didn't tell her?"
Ren Yaoqi also looked at Rong.
Rong smiled without changing her expression and said, "Oh, I was just about to say that when you came in."
Ren Yaoqi: “…”
Rong looked at Ren Yaoqi and said meaningfully, "I'm just curious why he gave this letter to the princess and asked her to deliver it to Yaoqi."
Ren Yaoqi was very depressed. It turned out that after reading the letter, Rong knew that her trip was in vain, so the words she said later were just to test her. She didn't want her to be too concerned and confused. Because Rong was her closest relative, she was not on guard and didn't see the flaw. Not only did she defend Xiao Jingxi, but she also racked her brains to find out more from Rong. Now thinking back, Ren Yaoqi felt that she was really stupid. Ren Yaoqi hadn't felt this kind of frustration for a long time.
Upon hearing this, Li Gan glanced at Ren Yaoqi, then picked up the letter and read it again. This time, Li Gan frowned as he read it. He then turned to Ren Yaoqi and asked, "Did he give this to the princess and ask her to give it to you?"
Ren Yaoqi nodded obediently. She now understood that no matter how smart she thought she was, with Rong family here, her cleverness could only be regarded as a little cleverness, and she would be misled by that little cleverness if she was not careful.
Li Gan stroked his beard and thought for a moment. Just when Ren Yaoqi thought he was going to say something, he put the letter down and said, "Rong, I've been thinking about this all morning. Let's kill and steam the wild goose that we've tamed for a long time."
Ren Yaoqi: “…”
Rong replied good-naturedly, "We already have a chicken soup with angelica today. Let Yihong take care of the wild geese for now."
Wild geese and domestic chickens...is there any necessary connection?
Li Gan thought about it, nodded calmly and said, "Well, they are all birds, so let's just leave it at that for now."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but fall down in amazement.
"You guys chat, I'm going to take a walk in the yard. I just ate a lot of snacks to help digest the food." Li Gan patted his clothes and stood up.
Rong and Ren Yaoqi hurriedly stood up and watched him leave.
After Li Gan left, Ren Yaoqi and Rong sat down again. Rong then asked, "Do you have anything else to ask?"
Normally, Ren Yaoqi should have blushed and said she didn't want to know anything and tried to distance herself from the matter. However, Ren Yaoqi nodded openly and said, "Yes, Grandmother, I want to ask if there was any agreement between Prince Xian's Mansion and Second Young Master Xiao. Of course, if it's really inconvenient to talk about it, you can just pretend I didn't ask."
Rong couldn't help but glance at Ren Yaoqi, then smiled. "Since he, an outsider, can trust you, what can we, as close relatives, not say? You said before that Xiao Jingxi disappeared in Jinzhou? The Hezhong area where Jinzhou is located was the last escape route left to us by Concubine Wan."
"Go past?" Ren Yaoqi frowned.
When did it happen? Isn't there a way out now?
