Although Lei Ting brought his daughter to the manor, he was the head of the Lei family after all, and he had a lot of things to deal with every day, so he had very little time to spend with his daughter. Yue Gui still had no chance to get close to Lei Pan'er.
Yuegui knew that her chances were running out. When she returned to Yunyang City, Lei Pan'er went to live in the Second Master's courtyard again. It was almost impossible for her to do anything without alerting the people in the Second Master's courtyard. There were also two smart and capable maids in Lei Zhen's courtyard. They were awarded to the Second Master Lei by Madam Lei, and their status was no less than hers.
After thinking it over again and again, Yue Gui decided to get rid of Lei Paner's wet nurse before returning to Yunyang City.
The wet nurse has served Lei Paner for several years. It is not an easy thing to let her go, unless she has failed in her duties and is no longer suitable to serve Lei Paner.
Today, Lei Pan'er, Ren Yaoqi, and Ren Yaohua parted ways and returned to the farm. Yue Gui, citing the nurse's previous comment that Lei Pan'er didn't like having too many people around, had several of the maids removed. Then, while the nurse and the maids were crouching on the ground catching crickets for Lei Pan'er, Yue Gui lured Lei Pan'er away with a broken-winged starling and secretly hid her.
Yue Gui didn't want to do anything to Lei Pan'er. After all, she would need this young lady in the future, so after she knocked her unconscious, she didn't hide her too far away. She hid her in the farm, intending to wait for Lei Ting to come back and punish the negligent wet nurse before finding Lei Pan'er who had accidentally fallen into the dry well in the backyard and making her a meritorious service.
After all, no one would have thought that Lei Pan'er would disappear in such a tiny farm, so when they found out that Lei Pan'er was missing, the maids and servants of the Lei family all thought that the young lady had been naughty and ran out to play.
Yue Gui's plan was not wrong, but she did not expect that as soon as they came out, they would meet Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua who were just returning.
Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua had already followed the little maid into the house. The Lei family's farm was a small three-courtyard house. It was not too big, but it was extremely decent in this area where every inch of land was valuable.
"Call all the maids and servants from your farm here." Ren Yaohua thought about it, but decided not to go straight in with her own people. This was someone else's farm, not her own territory.
The little maid was so confused that she forgot that Ren Yaohua was not the master of her Lei family. Without saying a word, she went to look for someone. The wet nurse had already taken away all the maids and servants who served Lei Pan'er closely. Those who remained on the farm were some who did rough work.
When Yuegui saw this situation, she knew that things were going to get out of hand. After all, these servants who did the rough work on the farm were originally from the farm and were very familiar with the place. If they were asked to go look for her, they might find Lei Paner who had fainted in the dry well in no time.
But Lei Ting hadn't returned yet, and if he hadn't experienced the anxiety and anger of his daughter's disappearance, he wouldn't have punished the negligent nanny too severely, and Yue Gui's efforts would have been in vain.
Yue Gui had made a great decision and planned for today's matter for a long time. If she missed this opportunity, the wet nurse would definitely pay more attention to Lei Pan'er's safety in the future. With the wet nurse's tactfulness, she would have no chance to take action again.
Thinking of this, Yue Gui's face turned cold, and she raised her hand to stop Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi: "Miss Ren, you can help us find our young lady. Our Lei family is very grateful to you. But this is the Lei family's villa, and we are unable to entertain you two right now. Besides, it is our master who lives in the villa now. For the sake of the two young ladies, it is better for you to avoid any suspicion."
The Lei family's farm had no female members, only a single male master, so it was difficult to entertain female guests. Yue Gui's words directly touched upon etiquette and a woman's reputation, which was quite damaging.
If Yue Gui said this in front of other young ladies, they would definitely run away with a red face. Unfortunately, the people standing in front of her today were Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua.
Ren Yaoqi had experienced the vicissitudes of life and possessed a steadfast character. How could she be thrown off balance by a little maid's words? She was polite and courteous because she knew how to behave. This couldn't be used as a weapon to threaten her.
However, Ren Yaohua didn't take the maid seriously at all, and Yuegui's strange reaction made her suspicious. She ignored Yuegui even more and was determined to find Lei Paner.
