"Fifth sister, is this matter...dangerous?" Yuan Dayong hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Oh. I'm not asking this out of fear. Zhu Ruomei and I are brothers, and he's missing. I must go find him. But if this matter is dangerous, I'll be more cautious."
Sister Yuan and Zhu Ruoju also looked over nervously. It seemed that they both thought Zhu Ruomei was going to do something dangerous.
Despite this, the Yuan family was still willing to help find Zhu Ruomei. This was truly admirable.
Ren Yaoqi thought for a moment and shook his head: "Although what I asked him to do is somewhat secretive and needs to be kept secret, it is not dangerous. And judging by the situation, he should have completed my entrustment."
Yuan Dayong nodded thoughtfully: "I see. I'll just have to be more discreet when I go to find him."
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "Finding him is the most important thing. You can decide for yourself when the time comes. If you encounter any difficulties, don't be stubborn. Come back and tell me immediately. I will find a way."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Dayong glanced at Ren Yaoqi and bowed even more respectfully, saying, "Yes, Fifth Sister, I understand. I wonder if Fifth Sister has any other instructions."
Ren Yaoqi gave him some more clues before letting him go out of the house to look for people.
"Fifth sister, I'm going back to Yunyang City first. My mother is still there, and I'm worried about her being alone." Zhu Ruoju came up and said.
Ren Yaoqi nodded and said gently, "Take good care of your mother. I will always keep an eye on your brother's affairs. When I have any news, I will send someone to tell you."
Zhu Ruoju thanked her and left with Mrs. Yuan.
Ren Yaoqi's original joy of successfully scheming against the Han family was gone. She was worried about Zhu Ruomei, but she really couldn't figure out where he had gone.
Logically, he had already completed the task she assigned to him, and it seemed that the Han family had not caught anyone yet.
Baihe Town is at least a day and a night away from Jizhou, so the news would not be transmitted so quickly, so there was no news that day.
On the third day, Yuan Dayong finally came back, and Ren Yaoqi walked out as soon as he heard the news.
When Ren Yaoqi was about to reach Yiran Pavilion, she saw Yuan Dayong walking back and forth in the pavilion with his arms folded and his head lowered, seeming a little anxious.
Ren Yaoqi hurried over and sent the maid out of the pavilion as usual.
Yuan Dayong hurried forward to salute.
"Is there any news?" Ren Yaoqi asked directly.
Yuan Dayong shook his head somewhat frustratedly, but after thinking about it, he nodded again, looking very conflicted and embarrassed.
Ren Yaoqi frowned: "What does this mean?"
Yuan Dayong said, "I followed Fifth Sister's instructions and searched all the way to Jizhou, but I didn't find any trace of Zhu Ruomei along the way. It wasn't until we arrived in Jizhou, near your Han Village, that I discovered someone else was searching for Zhu Ruomei, just like me. Although their portrait of Zhu Ruomei had been altered significantly, others might not recognize her. I've known him for many years and have seen him in disguise, so I knew immediately that it was Zhu Ruomei they were looking for. I figured out how to trick those people into believing they were sent by the Han family, and that they were looking for a thief who had stolen something from their village."
