Ren Shijia woke up at this moment because he was worried about his newborn son. Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua would not be so tactless as to disturb him at this moment, so they nodded in agreement.
Lin Kun went out again with the old woman.
Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua stayed for a while and then stood up to say goodbye.
When he walked to the door, he saw that the fortune teller who had followed Lin Kun out before had come back and was holding the child for Ren Shijia to see.
When the two sisters came out, Ren Yaohua said, "My uncle is a very nice person." It was rare for Ren Yaohua to speak so directly and with such good words about someone.
Ren Yaoqi just smiled and said nothing.
A person's personality may have more than one side. She had only met Lin Kun a few times and it was difficult for her to make a judgment about him.
After the two of them left the yard, they found that Madam Xu and Wu Jing and others who had gone to chase the two suspicious people were already waiting outside the yard.
"How is it? Have you found the person?" Ren Yaohua walked over and asked softly.
Aunt Xu sighed and shook her head, saying, "We searched everywhere but couldn't find the two people we were looking for."
Ren Yaoqi had anticipated this outcome and was not disappointed. He nodded and said, "Maybe they are just two lazy people. Since we can't find them, let it go."
Even so, as soon as he returned to the main house of Ziwei Courtyard, Ren Yaoqi called Apple over and asked, "Did you find out?"
Apple stepped forward and whispered, "I took the two pairs of foot measurements to Madam Liu, who was by the eldest young lady's side. Madam Liu found for me the measurements that the people in the inner courtyard reported when we were making summer clothes this time. The size of the feet of the larger one was the same as that of many maids in the mansion, so I couldn't find it. The one with the larger feet had a larger shoe size, and there was a slight difference in the size of the left and right feet, so I found it."
Ren Yaohua glanced at Ren Yaoqi in surprise: "When did you send her to investigate this? Can two sets of shoe prints really lead to someone's identity?"
Ren Yaoqi smiled and said, "When I was looking at the footprints earlier, I roughly measured them with my own feet and found that the size was a little too large, and the two feet seemed to be of different lengths. That's why I secretly told her to go find my sister-in-law. You were walking in front and didn't hear it."
Ren Yaohua glanced at Ren Yaoqi, then turned to ask Pingguo, "Who is it?"
Seeing Ren Yaoqi nod in her direction, Pingguo whispered, "There are about twenty maids with big feet in this mansion, most of them from the outer courtyard or the menial servants. There are only six in the inner courtyard, and three of them have feet of similar size to those two. The only one with different foot sizes is the cook in my aunt's courtyard, known as Sister Wen. Afterwards, I went to my aunt's courtyard again, and Sister Wen really waited until you left before returning. And she was wearing a green gown today."
"Is it someone from my aunt's yard?" Ren Yaohua frowned.
Ren Yaoqi thought of the time she met Mrs. Wen, the medicated food cook in Ren Shijia's yard. She was from Jiangnan, and the old lady of the Fang family had found her for Ren Shijia.
Ren Yaoqi had suspected before that the timing of Mrs. Wen discovering that there was something fishy going on with Ren Shijia's previous pregnancy was too coincidental, and it was the Fang family who recommended her to Ren Shijia. Now it seems that this cook should have some relationship with Aunt Fang.
