Ren Yaoqi quickly asked, "Are you going to keep your appointment with Pan'er, Third Sister?"
Wu Jing nodded. "Yes, Fifth Miss. After receiving Miss Lei's letter, Third Miss said she had to go out. You know that Third Miss doesn't like to go out on weekdays. She only goes out when she goes to see Miss Lei."
Ren Yaoqi said unhappily, "You should have told Mother or Madam Zhou. Why didn't you try to persuade her? Even if you can't persuade her, you should have told her earlier. Otherwise, what will happen if something goes wrong?"
Wu Jing asked anxiously, "Is there anything wrong? Miss Third has gone to see Miss Lei more than once or twice, and hasn't Madam always stopped her?" It was precisely because Ren Yaohua had seen Lei Pan'er so often, and Madam Li had always given her permission, that they didn't take it too seriously.
Ren Yaoqi was very worried: "Where's Pan'er's letter? Bring it to me and let me see it. I want to see where Third Sister has gone."
Wujing quickly took out the previous letter and handed it to Ren Yaoqi.
After opening the letter, Ren Yaoqi felt relieved. This letter was indeed written by Lei Paner, and it would not be easy for others to imitate Lei Paner's handwriting and tone of voice.
In the letter, Lei Paner asked Ren Yaohua to go to a teahouse where they often met before, which was on Zhengyang Street. Ren Yaoqi had also been there once before.
After finishing reading the letter, Ren Yaoqi looked up and asked, "Third sister brought apples with her? Who else did she bring with her?"
Wujing quickly said a few more names. Except for the two second-class maids and a few old women in the room, they were all the ones who often went out with the carriage on weekdays. It really didn't look like they were sneaking out.
Ren Yaoqi instructed Wu Jing, "Go tell Madam Zhou, and then have her send a few more people to the teahouse to check. If Third Sister is really there with Miss Lei, have someone wait outside until Third Sister comes out. If Third Sister isn't there, come back and report."
Wu Qing knew she would be in for a fight if she went to see Madam Zhou, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but she still said, "Fifth Miss, when Third Miss comes back, can you persuade Madam not to be angry with her? When I came in to deliver the letter to Third Miss earlier, I saw that her eyes were red. She was actually very sad."
Ren Yaoqi knew Ren Yaohua's personality. She was very tough in public, but even when she wanted to cry, she would drive everyone out and hide in the house to cry secretly, not wanting anyone to see her.
Thinking of this, Ren Yaoqi's previous worry about Ren Yaohua sneaking out without saying a word almost dissipated. Ren Yaohua must have been in a bad mood because of the argument with her mother and made her angry, so she wanted to go out for some fresh air.
No matter how tough Ren Yaohua usually appears, she is just a child who has just reached the age of marriage. At this age, she has the right to be willful occasionally.
Wujing went out and told Nanny Zhou that Ren Yaohua had gone out. Nanny Zhou really gave Wujing a severe scolding and said that when Ren Yaohua came back, Wujing should bring Pingguo and the others to her to receive punishment.
Afterwards, Nanny Zhou quickly sent a few people to the teahouse where Ren Yaohua and Lei Paner had agreed to meet, as Wujing mentioned.
Ren Yaoqi returned to her room and waited for Ren Yaohua to come back. She also needed to think carefully about how to persuade Ren Yaohua without causing her disgust and annoyance.
