Ren Yaoqi spoke very kindly, but Ren Yaohua was not so polite. She said with a cold face, "Your maid thought Pan'er couldn't be in the manor and blamed us for meddling. Since it concerns the child's safety, we are shamelessly meddling in your affairs this time."

"I didn't say that the young lady couldn't be in the manor, I just..." Yue Gui was busy explaining. She knew better than anyone whether Lei Pan'er was in the manor or not.

Lei Ting nodded towards Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua, then said to the maids, "Listen to Miss Ren and look around this yard." He had heard that his daughter was missing on his way back.

As soon as he said this, all the color drained away from Yuegui's face.

The master came back when they were arguing? I don’t know how much he heard.

Although Lei Ting was young, he had been through a lot. When he met the wet nurse outside, he had already asked about the situation and guessed that his daughter would not go too far. Therefore, although he was a little worried, he did not panic.

After the maids left to look for someone, he apologized to Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua, "Thank you both for today, young ladies. Please don't be offended by the poor behavior of the servants in my family."

Ren Yaohua saw that he was a reasonable person. She always responded to soft words rather than harsh ones, so her expression immediately softened and she nodded. "At that time, there was no one in your house who could make the decision, so we acted on our own. We were also wrong in some ways."

Ren Yaoqi said: "Since Master Lei is back, let's go outside to help look for him." Now that Lei Ting is back, it is not appropriate for them to stay any longer. With Lei Ting around, they don't have to worry about anyone causing trouble again.

Lei Ting thanked them again and again, then asked his steward Liu Gui to personally escort Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua out.

Before leaving, Ren Yaohua stopped in front of Lei Ting. She glanced at Yuegui, thought for a moment, and said, "Master Lei, even though Pan'er is only four years old, she shouldn't become a stepping stone for those unworthy people. She's young and naive, but don't adults understand that either?"

Without waiting for Lei Ting to speak, she walked away.

Lei Ting was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Ren Yaohua's back for a long time without reacting.

Ren Yaoqi looked at Ren Yaohua helplessly, and was really speechless about how she dared to teach the head of the Lei family a lesson in person for her ignorant sister.

After leaving the manor and the Lei family's housekeeper left, Ren Yaoqi said to Ren Yaohua, "Third sister, you..."

Ren Yaohua interrupted her before she could finish, "Alright, stop lecturing me. I know I went a little too far today. But when I think about Pan'er being so young... I really can't stand it!"

At this point, Ren Yaohua sighed, "I know our family is a mess, and I really shouldn't meddle in other people's affairs. I promise I won't do it again."

Ren Yaohua's straightforward submission and acknowledgment of his mistake surprised Ren Yaoqi.

"Forget it, I don't blame you for meddling in other people's business. Lei Paner's situation is indeed a bit special, so just help her if you can." Ren Yaoqi didn't think that being kind and soft-hearted was a shortcoming, as long as it wasn't done in the wrong place.

"Let's go check on the wet nurse." Ren Yaohua was not used to admitting her mistakes, so when she saw that Ren Yaoqi didn't teach her a lesson, she left immediately.

Ren Yaoqi followed and asked, "Third sister, did you notice that there was something wrong with the maid named Yuegui?"

Ren Yaohua was a little puzzled when she heard this: "Don't you think there's something wrong with her? I see you're suspicious of her. That's why you noticed her, and then she tried every means to prevent us from entering the manor to look for someone. If she's not guilty, what is she? As for what's wrong with her..." Ren Yaoqi glanced at Ren Yaoqi, "How would I know? Why don't you tell me?"

Ren Yaoqi: “…”

Should she be moved by their sisterly tacit understanding?

"I just felt that something was wrong with her expression, and she didn't seem to be in a hurry about Pan'er's disappearance, so I had suspicions. But it was just suspicions. You told Mr. Lei that she had ulterior motives without any evidence at all. What if you wrongly accuse a good person?" Ren Yaoqi sighed.
