In the afternoon, just as Ren Yaoqi woke up, Nanny Zhou came to the west wing where Ren Yaoqi lived in person.
"Eighth Sister has indeed been taking medicine lately. It was Fifth Madam who felt that Eighth Sister was a little bloated, so when she went back to her parents' home last time, she asked her sister-in-law for a prescription for Eighth Sister to take. Eighth Sister has been taking it for a while. It's just that because Eighth Sister is too sensitive to fame, Fifth Madam was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so she didn't let anyone else know."
Among the sisters of the Ren family, Ren Yaoyu is the most plump and the shortest. This makes the fifth wife, who likes to compare in everything, very dissatisfied. She is afraid that Ren Yaoyu will look like this when she grows older.
Although the elders seemed to prefer plump-looking wives for their children, as they were easier to bear children, Fifth Madam Lin scoffed at this standard, knowing that the husbands favored by the elders might not necessarily be the husbands she liked. So, despite Ren Yaoyu's youth, she had already begun to pay attention to her figure.
Ren Yaoqi raised an eyebrow at this. She remembered that in her previous life, Lin had secretly found a prescription for Ren Yaoyu that could make women slimmer. It seemed that Ren Yaoyu had actually lost a lot of weight. However, Ren Yaoqi knew that this kind of medicine was often cold in nature, and taking too much would not be beneficial for women.
Listening to Ren Yaoyu taking medicine, Ren Yaoqi didn't find it strange. Since the prescription came from the Lin family, and Ren Yaoyu hadn't suffered any problems in her previous life, it must be that someone had tampered with the medicine when it was boiled, adding something that shouldn't have been added.
"Have you found any medicinal residue?" Ren Yaoqi asked thoughtfully.
Nanny Zhou shook her head with regret. "Eighth Sister was punished to go to the ancestral hall yesterday, so she didn't use the medicine today. The medicine residue from yesterday was thrown away and can't be found."
Ren Yaoqi originally just wanted to give it a try, and although he felt a little disappointed that there was no evidence after hearing what Nanny Zhou said, he was not too disappointed.
Seeing that Nanny Zhou seemed to feel a little guilty for not completing the task, Ren Yaoqi was about to say a few words to comfort her when there was suddenly a noise outside.
"Who's outside?" Seeing Ren Yaoqi frowning, Nanny Zhou walked quickly forward and lifted the curtain without saying a word.
Ren Yaoqi had just woken up from her afternoon nap, and when she saw Nanny Zhou coming, she sent the waiter in. At this moment, the two of them were talking alone in the side room on the right.
Ren Yaoqi sat on the kang by the window, with her eyes downcast, not knowing what she was thinking. She did not follow Madam Zhou to check who it was.
"It's you?" Madam Zhou's voice sounded a little surprised and relieved, then she turned her head to look at Ren Yaoyu: "Sister, it's..."
Before Madam Zhou could finish, the person outside had already appeared at the curtain, holding a red lacquer tea tray. Standing properly with his head lowered, he looked respectful and calm, but his hands on the edge of the tea tray were a little tense.
When Nanny Zhou saw her come in, she stopped talking. Ren Yaoqi was still sitting on the kang, not moving or saying anything. But her crystal clear eyes were fixed on the newcomer.
Ren Yaoqi's eyes were beautiful. When she smiled, they curved into a crescent moon, soft and beautiful. They gave people a sense of innocence. At this moment, Ren Yaoqi didn't smile, nor did he frown. He simply looked at her calmly, as if in a normal way.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became suffocating.
