Here is the translation:
Xiao Moxi motioned Ye Yueying to hide behind the screen. Once Ye Yueying was safely hidden, he opened the door and walked out.
At this moment, the captain of the Ren Family’s Protectors was negotiating with Wu Yutang.
"What’s going on?"
Xiao Moxi stood at the door with his hands behind his back. The door was wide open behind him, and he smiled as he looked at the Ren Family’s Protector.
The captain of the Ren Family’s Protectors knew that the Jinling Guards before him were not to be offended. He carefully replied, "Honorable sirs, an assassin has entered the manor. Our second master has been brutally killed. We are currently searching for the assassin and hope you will not hold us accountable."
Xiao Moxi looked astonished. "The second master of the Ren Family was killed?"
The captain of the Protectors nodded solemnly.
Anger surfaced on Xiao Moxi’s face. "How could such a thing happen? The assassin is audacious, daring to assassinate an Imperial Envoy. Do you know who did this?"
The captain of the Protectors shook his head. "Not yet."
Xiao Moxi was silent for a moment, then asked with concern, "Is Master Ren alright? Do you need our assistance?"
Remembering the master’s instructions, the captain quickly shook his head. "We wouldn’t dare trouble you, honorable sirs. Our master is currently attending to the old madam, who fainted."
Seeing his refusal, Xiao Moxi did not insist. He simply said, "If Master Ren needs help in any way, do not hesitate to ask us."
Saying that, he moved aside.
"You wish to search the courtyard for the assassin? Please!" Then, turning to Wu Yutang and the others, he said, "Everyone cooperate properly so we can catch the assassin quickly and bring peace to the spirit of the Ren Family’s second master."
The captain of the Protectors cast a quick glance at the wide-open room door, then at Xiao Moxi and the others, who appeared calm and unperturbed. Finally, he scanned the courtyard and the Ren Family’s servants, who showed no abnormal reaction, before clasping his fists and saying:
"You jest, honorable sir. In Daxia, who doesn’t know that every Jinling Guard is highly skilled? If the assassin had truly entered this courtyard, you sirs would have apprehended them long ago, leaving us with nothing to do here. We shall take our leave."
With a wave of his hand, he led the Ren Family’s Protectors away.
