After Ren Yaoqi came out of the Yanbei Palace, he was thinking about where to go.
Ren Shimin has now gone to Yunyang Academy. It is not easy for her to go to a place like the academy, but her grandparents' home is also near the academy, so she might as well go to Baoping Hutong to take a look.
Thinking that Ren Yaohua might be in the Ren family's villa at this time, Ren Yaoqi asked Sang Zhen to tell Ren Yaohua to come to her grandparents' house as well.
When Rong saw Ren Yaoqi coming, she didn't say anything but was very happy in her heart. She called her to the main room to talk and asked her about Ren Shimin's trip to Kyoto to participate in the literary competition.
During this time, Sang Zhen came back, but said that Ren Yaohua was not in the Ren family's villa. The doorman in the villa said that the third lady had not come back today.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but feel puzzled. Where could Ren Yaohua have gone? Did she go to the Lin family? Ren Yaohua didn't have any close friends in Yunyang City who she could visit.
Rong Shi thought that Ren Yaohua was hiding because she didn't want to come to Baoping Hutong. She sighed and asked Ren Yaoqi, "Does she have any other people around her? Should we send someone to look for her?"
Ren Yaoqi thought for a moment and said, "Third sister is accompanied by several maids and old women, so she should be fine. But I'd better send a few family members to look for her. It's almost noon, and she needs to eat too."
Rong nodded and watched Ren Yaoqi instruct Sang Zhen to go outside and ask the maid to check the Lin family and other places.
Around noon, my grandfather and uncle came back.
Ren Yaoqi stepped forward to pay his respects. King Xian stroked his beard and nodded steadily. "Since you're here, stay for dinner. I caught two big fish today. Rong, have someone in the kitchen take them and prepare them for soup."
Li Tianyou gestured with his palm and grinned, "Dad, two palm-sized fish are also big fish? Are you kidding me?"
King Xian snorted and glared at him, "If you hadn't been sleeping there with a cramp in your leg, you wouldn't have kicked my fish basket into the river, sweeping away the big fish I had so hard to catch. How could there only be two left?"
Li Tianyou hissed as if with a toothache and muttered, "What big fish? There's only a little turtle in that fish basket that you picked up from the shore! Did you think I didn't see it?"
"What are you mumbling about?" Li Gan frowned and glared at his son.
Yihong immediately handed a bowl of tea to Li Tianyou. Li Tianyou was thirsty, so he picked up the tea bowl and drank a mouthful, then sighed comfortably.
After finishing his bowl of tea, Li Tianyou forgot about the incident of exposing his father's past. Instead, he remembered something else and said, "Dad, I was right, wasn't I? The little girl is here. The one I saw on the road just now must be the older girl."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but ask Li Tianyou, "Uncle, did you meet my third sister? Where did you meet her?"
Li Tianyou said: "Just now on the way back, the eldest girl seemed to be with a little kid. I only saw the side and pointed it out to dad. Dad said I was seeing things. He said you couldn't be as big as that little kid." As he spoke, Li Tianyou stretched out his hand and gestured at his knee.
Ren Yaoqi's mouth twitched and he was speechless.
Rong asked in confusion, "Where did this little kid come from?"
Li Gan said, "I heard from Chunsheng that the carriage following them looked like the Lei family's."
"Lei family?" Rong was even more surprised. "How could Yaohua be so familiar with the Lei family?"
Ren Yaoqi had already understood that the little kid Li Tianyou was talking about should be Lei Paner from the Lei family.
