Ren Shijia's face lit up with joy, and she hurried to stand up. The maid hurried forward to help her: "Sister, be careful. The old master has called my son-in-law to question him."
Ren Shijia finally slowed down her movements and couldn't help but glance out the window again. She hurriedly instructed the maid, "Go tell the kitchen to prepare some hot meals. My husband must have missed his breakfast since he's here now."
The maid quickly agreed, called another maid to serve, and went to the kitchen quickly.
Ren Yaoqi watched from the side and became more and more certain that Ren Shijia had not returned to her parents' home because of the rumors that she had a conflict with Lin Kun. Judging from Ren Shijia's behavior, she did not seem to have any resentment towards Lin Kun.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't stay any longer: "Since uncle is here, Yaoqi will come to bother aunt next time." Then, Ren Yaoqi tugged at Ren Shijia's sleeve shyly, "Are you here to take aunt back to Yunyang City? Yaoqi also wants to try the Jiangnan snacks here."
Ren Shijia was in a good mood and touched Ren Yaoqi's head: "Just come over, auntie will stay here for several months and won't go back to Yunyang City. Auntie thinks this place is quiet and I hope you can come over often."
Ren Yaoqi was a little curious: "But your uncle has come to pick you up personally. Won't he be angry if you don't go back with him?"
Ren Shijia smiled and said with certainty: "Of course not, your uncle has the best temper." Perhaps because she was in front of her older niece, Ren Shijia was not on guard, and her tone was full of trust and attachment to her husband.
Ren Yaoqi probably got the answer he wanted and stood up to say goodbye.
Before leaving the hospital, Ren Yaoqi ran into the old woman who had brought medicine to Ren Shijia. Ren Yaoqi paused and said with a smile, "I heard you can make licorice plums. My aunt is also very good at it. Oh, my aunt's surname is Fang, and she comes from the Fang family in Jiangning. Since you are also from the Fang family, did my aunt learn the skill from you? She learned it from a kitchen maid before she got married."
The old woman was somewhat surprised that Ren Yaoqi could even connect her with Concubine Fang, and hurriedly tried to distance herself from the matter, saying, "I have never worked for the Fang family, and I don't know your Concubine Fang. In my early years, I worked for a wealthy family named Yang. Later, the old lady of the Fang family wanted to find a cook who could prepare medicinal food for Madam Lin, and the wife of the Yang family recommended me."
Ren Yaoqi frowned and said, "Really? That's a pity. I was thinking of inviting you to visit Auntie's yard more often and talk about the Fang family's affairs."
The nanny just smiled and said nothing.
Ren Yaoqi smiled slightly and walked past her.
When I went out, I bumped into a man about thirty years old.
The man was of medium build, with a handsome appearance and a very square chin. He wore a light navy blue satin jacket and walked with a steady gait. When he spotted Ren Yaoqi and his group, he looked up, his eyes bright.
Ren Yaoqi was stunned for a moment before realizing that this person was her aunt Ren Shijia's husband, Lin Kun from the second branch of the Lin family.
Ren Yaoqi knelt down and bowed, calling him uncle.
Lin Kun paused, looked at Ren Yaoqi, and said with a gentle smile: "You are the daughter of the third brother's family, and your name is Yaoqi? I heard from your aunt that you are very good at painting."
Ren Yaoqi was slightly surprised.
In her previous life, she had no impression of her uncle. However, everyone in the Ren family knew him as a gentle and easygoing person. To be frank, he had no great ambitions and was a follower of others.
Yet, he could tell at a glance that she was Ren Yaoqi, from the third branch of the Ren family, and that she excelled in painting. The Ren family had many daughters with similar names. The number of times he and Ren Yaoqi had met could be counted on one hand. Even her aunt, having not seen her for a year, had barely recognized her, yet he could tell her identity at a glance.
