Ren Yaoqi is a calm and careful person. She doesn't believe in coincidences. Too many coincidences would be strange.
For example, Xiao Jingyue was "bedridden", Xiao Jingxi was in danger and missing, Xiao Jinglin left Yanbei for Wuzhou, Zhao Yingqiu got married, the princess went to the Yun family for a banquet, and her two maids who never left her side suddenly disappeared. These things happened at the same time, making her unable to help but be alert.
Sang Zhen quickly brought Tong He and Tong Xi in, and the two came forward and bowed respectfully.
Ren Yaoqi nodded and asked, "Is there anything wrong in the mansion today?"
Tong He and Tong Xi exchanged glances after hearing this, and Tong He cautiously asked, "What does the young lady mean?"
Ren Yaoqi thought for a moment and then asked directly, "For example, has anything happened with the Second House or the Princess of Daliao?"
Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin were not in the mansion, so there must be someone left in the palace to "look after" them. Although Tong He and Tong Xi were only Xiao Jingxi's servants, they were not ordinary servants. Many things in the mansion had to go through their hands.
Tongxi and Tonghe thought about it for a while, and it was Tonghe who spoke first: "The second master went out early in the morning, and the third young master has been ill and hasn't recovered yet. Princess Yelu hasn't gone out since this morning. I heard she is practicing calligraphy in the study."
None of this sounds unusual.
At this moment, someone outside reported that Concubine Yun had arrived.
The first thing Concubine Yun said when she came in was, "I heard you weren't feeling well? How are you now?"
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Nanxing who was following behind Concubine Yun, smiled, and stood up to salute Concubine Yun: "It's nothing serious. I just vomited a lot just now. I didn't expect them to alarm you."
Concubine Yun stopped Ren Yaoqi from bowing, breathed a sigh of relief, and pointed to the southern kang, asking Ren Yaoqi to sit with her. Then she said, "Your mother isn't at home, so they had no choice but to come to me. Fortunately, nothing is wrong. You've been pregnant for more than three months, so you'll feel better after a while. Just bear with it. Have you called a doctor? If you're vomiting a lot, you should let a doctor take a look."
This was the first time that Concubine Yun had spoken so many words to Ren Yaoqi in one breath, but Ren Yaoqi didn't find it annoying. She personally took the tea brought by the maid and offered it to Concubine Yun, then smiled and said, "Madame Gong came to see me yesterday and said that I am in good health and the child is also doing well."
Concubine Yun nodded: "Yes. That's good." After saying that, she looked up and saw Tong He and Tong Xi still standing outside behind the curtain. She couldn't help but frowned.
Ren Yaoqi didn't say anything, but just instructed the two of them, "You go down first, and then send someone to look around to see if there are any wild cats. Those things are not domesticated and are very wild. If they offend the master of the mansion, it will not be a joke."
Tong He and Tong Xi were not surprised at all when they heard this irrelevant talk. They bowed respectfully and replied, "Young Madam, please rest assured. I will not let that wild cat in."
Concubine Yun looked at their departing backs and frowned, "Is there a wild cat in the mansion?"
Ren Yaoqi smiled and said, "The maids heard the cat meowing today, so I asked them to help look for it."
Concubine Yun nodded: "It's always better to be careful."
Then, Concubine Yun and Ren Yaoqi began to chat. Concubine Yun was not a talkative person. Although Ren Yaoqi had become very familiar with her after spending some time together, her cold personality had not changed. However, since Ren Yaoqi became pregnant, Concubine Yun's attitude towards her had become much more pleasant.
