Before the yard was closed, Xiangqin returned to the Lin family and told Ren Yaoqi everything that had happened today.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help laughing when he saw her happy face.
"Miss, you don't know. Today, as soon as the Lin family's nanny saw Madam Fang and Miss Nine return, she asked for the purse. Although Miss Nine's face was not happy, she still asked the maid to go down and get it. As a result, of course, the purse disappeared. You didn't see the Lin family's nanny's expression at that time. Oh, I was so happy!"
Ren Yaoqi glanced at her with a smile: "You didn't leave any evidence this time, did you?"
Xiang Qin hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Miss Fifth, there will be no mistakes this time. Besides, Madam Fang and Miss Nine are both out, so this will be done without anyone noticing. Speaking of which, that Young Master Fang is really stupid. He didn't even realize his purse had been switched several times."
"Okay, you've worked hard today, go down and rest." Ren Yaoqi said with a smile.
Xiang Qin agreed and went down with a smile on her face. Before leaving, she said with a smile: "It's different when the Fifth Miss takes action. Let's see if they dare to bully our Third Miss again!"
Meanwhile, in the Ren family's courtyard, Ren Yaoying was directing a roomful of maids to search for the purse, but they couldn't find it anywhere.
Ren Yaoying's maid Chun'er looked frustrated: "I clearly remembered putting it in the cabinet, how could it be gone?"
Ren Yaoying frowned: "Look carefully to see if it's wrapped in clothes."
"I've opened and examined all the clothes one by one..."
Mrs. Fang, who had been sitting silently by the side, suddenly interrupted and said, "Forget it, don't look for it anymore."
Ren Yaoying looked at Liu: "Aunt, what does the Lin family mean by this? Why did they suddenly think of asking me for the purse? This is the first time I've heard of them asking for something back after giving it away! And it just so happens that the purse is gone!"
Liu lowered her eyes, and after a while, she sighed, "We've been tricked."
Ren Yaoying was stunned: "Aunt, you mean..."
Liu shook her head. Just as she was about to speak, a maidservant beside her came in and whispered something in her ear.
Liu couldn't help but frown, and the frown became tighter and tighter.
Ren Yaoying walked a little closer and only heard the old woman's last words: "...That's all we found. We didn't bring many people with us, and most of them left with us."
Ren Yaoying came to her senses after hearing this and asked suspiciously, "Aunt, is it Third Sister who's causing trouble?"
Liu waved the old woman away, then sighed and looked at Ren Yaoying: "Your mother said before that they were nothing to worry about. It seems that she was wrong. I told you to be patient and not to argue with her at this juncture, but you refused to listen."
Ren Yaoying bit her lip. "I was very careful, but Third Sister didn't find any evidence either. Besides, they are our sworn enemies. Even if this incident hadn't happened, they wouldn't have let us off easily."
Liu glanced at Ren Yaoying, sighed, and said nothing more in the end.
On the morning of the second day, Ren Yaoqi was playing with Cen Ge'er in Ren Shijia's room when the doorman came to report that Mrs. Fang Liu had come again.
Liu came to see Mrs. Lin San again today.
Ren Shijia was a soft-hearted person. In the end, he had no choice but to take Liu to see Mrs. Lin San. This time, Ren Yaoqi did not go with them, but Ren Shijia came back not long after.
Mrs. Lin San is not feeling well today and does not want to see guests.
Ren Yaoqi was surprised and asked, "Why did the Third Madam suddenly become ill? We haven't heard about it in the mansion."
Ren Shijia washed his hands and took Cen'er from the wet nurse. Old Madam Ren had found another wet nurse for Cen'er, so Ren Shijia no longer needed to feed him personally.
"I think Third Sister-in-law isn't ill, she just doesn't want to see my cousin. Just now, after I sent my cousin away, Third Sister-in-law sent her maid to come and tell me to bring Brother Cen over to play with Sister Ling when I'm free. This is a hint for me not to bring outsiders over." Ren Shijia breathed a sigh of relief. "I don't want to get involved in their affairs. This is the best, I can finally have some peace and quiet."
