Ren Yaoqi stepped forward to greet Han Yunqian and called him "Master Han" with a smile.
After paying her respects, the maid Hua'er hurried forward and said a few words to Shan'er, seemingly explaining why Ren Yaoqi appeared here.
The head maidservant beside Old Lady Han was indeed a formidable one. Upon hearing this, her eyes moved inconspicuously around Ren Yaoqi several times. Then she smiled and knelt down to apologize, saying, "It is my fault for neglecting the guests. I beg Fifth Sister to forgive me."
Han Yunqian nodded at Ren Yaoqi, his deep gaze making it impossible to tell what he meant.
At this time, someone else came here and appeared in everyone's sight in a short while. It turned out to be Han You.
"Brother, have you found Sister Ting? Grandfather is back, if..." Han You said anxiously as soon as he saw Han Yunqian, without even noticing that Ren Yaoqi was there.
When she suddenly realized what was going on, she quickly stopped talking. She nodded and smiled sheepishly at Ren Yaoqi, but the anxiety in her eyes was palpable. She wasn't one to hide her emotions.
"My seventh sister is missing?" Ren Yaoqi seemed to have just realized what was happening and asked in surprise.
Han You hurriedly said, "Sister Ting was playing with me earlier. She ran behind the rockery and hid there for me to find. But I searched everywhere and couldn't find her. She didn't respond when I called her. So I asked Shan'er and the others to help look for her. And then, just as my brother came back, we came together to look for her." Han You kindly comforted Ren Yaoqi at this point, "Sister Ting was just playing with me and hiding. Don't worry."
Ren Yaoqi shook his head and said apologetically, "It's my seventh sister who was naughty and caused you trouble."
"Sister Ren Wu, did you meet Sister Qi on your way here just now?" Shan'er asked Ren Yaoqi, but her eyes stopped on the maid named Hua'er beside Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi thought about it and shook his head: "We didn't meet anyone else."
Hua'er felt Shan'er's gaze and nodded quickly.
Han Yunqian seemed to be thinking about something. He turned his head and fixed his gaze on the red wooden door a few steps away, his eyes fixed.
Although the maids Qin'er and Shan'er pretended to be calm, their pale faces betrayed their true emotions. Were they afraid?
"Go call out the mute woman and ask her if she has seen the seventh sister." When Han Yunqian said this, his face had returned to its normal calm expression.
Shan'er lowered her head and replied "yes", then hurried to the red wooden door, pushed it open a little, and slipped in. After entering, she turned around and closed the courtyard door.
Ren Yaoqi looked at the different expressions of the people present and stood there without moving.
"Fifth sister, do you want to go to the pavilion to rest first?" Han Yunqian said to Ren Yaoqi gently, his tone showing only concern and no coercion.
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "I want to find my seventh sister first."
Han Yunqian paused for a moment, then nodded without saying anything else.
"Brother..." Han Yousheng called Han Yunqian, looking like he was thinking about something but couldn't say it out loud.
