Ren Yaoqi was just joking with her, so he wouldn't bother with such a small matter. They chatted for a while and then it passed.

The place Lei Pan'er agreed to meet in the letter was a teahouse where they often met before.

After the carriage arrived, Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin went straight upstairs from the backyard to the private room on the second floor.

When the two of them entered, they saw Lei Pan'er sitting upright at the round table in the hall, swinging her legs and chewing a piece of taro cake. A young woman in a lotus green jacket sat beside her, looking at her with a smile on her face, holding a handkerchief in her hand, ready to wipe her mouth at any time.

Lei Paner looked up and saw Ren Yaoqi, her eyes lighting up. She quickly stuffed the taro cake in her hand into her mouth and was about to throw herself into Ren Yaoqi's arms. However, before she even left the chair, the woman next to her hugged her small body.

"Little ancestor, please sit still! Don't you even look at the snack crumbs on your hands?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Pan'er felt embarrassed to rush over, so she just stood up and saluted Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin.

The woman next to her was a little surprised to hear that a princess had come. She also greeted Xiao Jinglin according to etiquette.

"Why didn't Sister Yaohua come?" Lei Paner poked her head out and said to Ren Yaoqi with a pout.

Ren Yaoqi touched Lei Paner's head and said with a smile, "Your sister Yaohua is being kept at home by her mother to embroider. What's wrong? Are you unhappy to see me?" Ren Yaoqi scratched Lei Paner's little nose.

Lei Pan'er's nose felt a little itchy. She giggled and dodged, then finally threw herself into Ren Yaoqi's arms and buried her head in her chest: "Pan'er, I want to see both of them."

The woman next to her gently admonished her, "Pan'er, sit down quickly and don't bump into Miss Ren."

Ren Yaoqi, however, took the opportunity to hug Lei Pan'er in his arms. He smiled at the woman and said, "It's okay. Pan'er is used to being naughty with us. I'm not used to her behaving properly. But, may I ask who you are...?"

Normally, in such an occasion, if the woman was not a servant of the Ren family, Lei Paner should have introduced her. However, Lei Paner was young and did not understand these things, so no one pointed out the woman's identity.

"I am Pan'er's aunt."

Although Ren Yaoqi had already guessed her identity, she still pretended to know it. She looked around and saw only two maids standing by to serve, so she asked, "Where is Pan'er's wet nurse? Why can't I see her?"

Xiao Qiao frowned almost imperceptibly: "She is old and returned to her hometown to retire a while ago."

Ren Yaoqi was a little surprised when she heard this, but Lei Paner said with a sincere heart, "My aunt discovered that the wet nurse was secretly withholding Paner's monthly allowance, so she made her live on the farm."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

In her opinion, although Lei Paner's wet nurse was a little greedy, she served Lei Paner very attentively. Lei Paner was still young, so it was not appropriate to drive her wet nurse away like this.

Xiao Qiao seemed to have guessed what Ren Yaoqi was thinking. She shook her head and said, "The Lei family entrusted Pan'er's affairs to her because they trusted her, but she exploited this trust to benefit herself. Today, she can sell her conscience for a little money, and in the future, she can also sell out her master for money. I really don't trust such a person to stay with Pan'er."

Xiao Qiao touched Lei Paner's head with a soft and doting look. Lei Paner didn't seem to dislike her and even smiled at her.

Ren Yaoqi changed the subject and asked Lei Paner with a smile, "Little girl, is there anything going on today?"

Lei Paner nodded with a smile, then asked the waiting maid to bring several rolls of paper and spread them out on the table for Ren Yaoqi to see: "Sister Yaoqi, look at Paner's drawings and writings."
