Over there, the brothers Mr. Ren San and Mr. Ren Wu also went aside to talk.
Ren Shimao first bowed to Ren Shimin and said, "Third brother, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness!"
Ren Shimin grabbed his elbow and helped him up: "We're brothers, it's a bit strange to say this, I'm glad I can help you."
Ren Shimao said gratefully: "This time it is really thanks to your timely letter, otherwise Huijun and Yuer might be..." Every time he thought of his wife and daughter's dying appearance, Ren Shimao was speechless.
Ren Shimin sighed and asked, "Have you investigated the poisoning? Do you know who did it?" Ren Shimao's face immediately turned cold when he heard Ren Shimin say this. "These days I've been solely concerned about Huijun and Yu'er's health. I haven't had time to investigate in detail. However, it was those boxes of pearl peach blossom powder that Hua Xiangrong bought that were tampered with. I've had people put anyone who had access to these things under strict surveillance. If I can find out who did it, I... I must..."
Because he was filled with hatred, Ren Shimao couldn't find the right words.
Ren Shimin nodded and patted Ren Shimao's shoulder in understanding. "If we can find the culprit, we won't let him off easily. If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."
Ren Shimao sighed and said, "A friend in need is a friend indeed. Third brother, thank you so much."
Ren Shimao couldn't help feeling sad when he thought about the reactions of Old Master and Old Lady Ren when he asked his family for help.
The Ren family did send them medicinal herbs and find a doctor. Old Lady Ren even sent people to take him and Ren Yijian back to Yunyang City for resettlement. However, they refused to let Lin and Ren Yaoyu go home because they were worried that they had contracted an epidemic. Ren Shimao was still heartbroken to see them die in a foreign land.
He could understand his parents' desire to protect themselves intellectually, but he couldn't accept it emotionally.
Ren Shimin somewhat understood what Ren Shimao was thinking, but as a child, he couldn't say anything. He could only return to the matter of poisoning: "Do you have any suspicions in your mind?"
Ren Shimao was also brought back to his senses, but Ren Shimin's words made him hesitate.
Ren Shimin frowned: "Or do you already have a suspect in mind?"
Ren Shimao sighed, looked at Ren Shimin seriously and said, "Third brother, if I do anything wrong in the future, I hope you can forgive me this time."
Ren Shimin was a little confused. How could Ren Shimao have done anything wrong to him?
Ren Shimao knew that his third brother was a simple-minded person. Beating around the bush with him would only lead to trouble. So he said frankly, "I do suspect someone, but I have no evidence."
"Oh? Who?"
Ren Shimin paused, then said, "Fang!"
Ren Shimin was stunned when he heard this, then frowned and thought for a moment: "Fang? Hasn't she been staying at the Ren family the entire time? How could she poison someone?"
Ren Shimin was not angry because Ren Shimao suspected his concubine. He just thought objectively that even if Aunt Fang had the motive, she did not have the ability to poison Lin's concubines.
Even Master Ren San, who knew nothing about the affairs of the inner house, knew that there was very little a woman in the inner house could do.
