It turns out that this courtyard hidden deep in the garden is the Han family's forbidden area?
The Qin'er and Shan'er mentioned by Hua'er were the two maids who had stopped them from coming. They should be the most trusted maids of Old Lady Han. If even Old Lady Han's trusted maids were not allowed to go to that courtyard...Ren Yaoqi was really curious about what secrets were hidden in that courtyard.
The maid Huaer took Ren Yaoqi to a toilet on the east side of the garden. Although the toilet in the garden was not as spacious and exquisite as the one in the courtyard, it was also tidy.
Clean and scented with sandalwood.
When Ren Yaoqi came out after changing his clothes, Hua'er was about to take Ren Yaoqi back the way they came, but Ren Yaoqi said, "We just came from this road. I've only walked halfway through the garden. Why don't we go around from the north? That would be a good opportunity to see the scenery in the garden."
The purification room is on the east side, and the mysterious courtyard is to the west of the back. If you go around the north side along the garden wall, you will pass through the courtyard.
Originally, Ren Yaoqi thought that he would need to spend some time to convince Huaer, but Huaer agreed very readily. She immediately turned around and led Ren Yaoqi to the north of the garden.
Although the maid had been taught not to enter the Han family's restricted areas since entering the mansion, she did not think that even the road in front of the restricted area was forbidden. Because on weekdays, there were also some maids and old women passing by there, and the kitchen staff would go there every day to deliver meals to the mute woman who looked after the yard.
The gardens of wealthy families all looked very similar, though there were some differences between gardens in the north and those in the south. Having seen both, Ren Yaoqi was no longer surprised. So, while she pretended to be observing the flowers and trees along the way, she was actually observing them in secret.
When he was almost at the gate of the yard, Ren Yaoqi suddenly saw a figure flash in front of him.
Ren Yaoqi was stunned and glanced at the maid Huaer, but Huaer was unaware and did not notice the figure just now.
Although the person just now disappeared very quickly, Ren Yaoqi recognized that the person was a woman, and the clothes she wore were very similar to those worn by his seventh sister Ren Yaoting today.
Was that person just now Ren Yaoting?
Didn't Ren Yaoting go with Han You to see the flowers? How did Du Zi appear here? The place where the man just disappeared was right at the entrance to the mysterious courtyard wall. And wasn't that courtyard guarded? How did Ren Yaoting get in? What was she doing there?
The gate to the mysterious courtyard finally appeared before Ren Yaoqi. To be honest, it was just two ordinary red wooden doors, nothing special at all.
The door was ajar, and Ren Yaoqi could see that the crack had not been closed. However, everything inside the door was blocked by the heavy redwood, and could not be seen from the outside.
Ren Yaoqi paused in front of the courtyard gate.
At this moment, footsteps were heard coming from the northwest corner. Ren Yaoqi heard someone say, "...Sister Seventh Ren was joking with us, asking us to go look for her. But we haven't seen any trace of her."
Another person said hurriedly: "Master, the old lady has instructed me to take good care of the sisters. Don't let them crawl around. But now Seventh Sister Ren..."
At this time, they just turned out from the corner and came face to face with Ren Yaoqi and his two servants.
The maid named Shan'er stopped talking immediately. The one who came with the two maids was Han Yunqian, who had not appeared before.
Han Yunqian was also taken aback when he suddenly bumped into Ren Yaoqi. Shan'er was the first to react. She looked at Ren Yaoqi suspiciously and asked, "Is it Fifth Sister Ren? Why are you here?"
