The maid was Chunlan, the senior maid who stayed behind to look after the child today. Upon hearing this, she said, "He has been sleeping the whole time, except that he woke up once because he wet the bed." The maid was also a little scared at this time, and her voice was trembling.
Ren Shijia quickly picked up the child and called him softly: "Brother Cen? Brother Cen?..." His voice gradually became louder, but the child still slept soundly regardless.
Ren Yaoqi hurried over: "Aunt, don't be anxious. This is just a guess, don't panic yourself."
Ren Shijia was so scared that his eyes turned red. At this moment, the curtain was lifted and someone walked in.
Ren Shijia looked up and immediately walked over with his son in his arms as if he had found his backbone: "Husband, look at our son. Why is he always sleeping? Is there something wrong with him?"
Lin Kun took the child, then glanced at Ren Yaoqi and comforted his bewildered wife: "Don't worry, I will find out. The child...will be fine."
Ren Yaoqi frowned at Lin Kun's glance. She was wary of her uncle. Lin Kun was too secretive and sometimes unscrupulous to achieve his goals.
And judging from his reaction, he might have heard what she and Ren Shijia said before.
Ren Shijia finally calmed down with Lin Kun's constant comfort. Looking at her like this, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Qi'er, why do you think there is something wrong with the wet nurse's diet?" Lin Kun did not hide the fact that he had heard what they said and called her according to the name Ren Shijia gave her.
Ren Yaoqi lowered his head and said, "I noticed Cen'er was always sleeping, so I asked him about it. The nurse said that children are all sleepy. Then I saw that the nurse had added some medicinal herbs to the food she ate, and she didn't seem to be in good spirits either. I found it a little strange."
The maid standing nearby also said, "Now that you mention it, Miss Cousin, I remember that the wet nurse has been a bit sleepy these past few days. I used to suspect that she was secretly running away to gamble with the concierge, so I kept an eye on her for a few days. Later, I discovered that she went to bed early every day, so she shouldn't be sleepy."
Ren Shijia didn't care that Ren Yaoqi, a junior, was present. He held the child in Lin Kun's arms and said with trembling lips, "Go and get the doctor. Ask the doctor to come into the house and take a look. If... if someone really drugged... it's all my fault. I was on guard against someone attacking the child but forgot to prevent them from attacking the wet nurse."
Although Lin Kun's face looked very bad, Ren Yaoqi even saw that his hands at his side were clenched into fists with veins exposed, but he still looked calm.
"Okay, believe me, nothing will happen. Leave everything to me, I will give you and the child an explanation." Lin Kun's voice was a little hoarse, but the calmness and determination in it made Ren Shijia feel at ease again.
Ren Yaoqi knew that he had done what he should do and there was no need to stay here any longer. He could leave the rest to his father Lin Kun.
"Aunt and uncle, I'll go back to the house first." Ren Yaoqi said.
Lin Kun looked over, softened his expression and said, "Okay, thank you very much, Qi'er."
Ren Shijia said with red eyes: "Good boy, go back first."
Ren Yaoqi pursed her lips and said, "These are just guesses. I hope my uncle and aunt won't blame me if I'm wrong." Ren Yaoqi bowed and withdrew.
Outside, the rain had completely stopped. Although Ren Shijia's yard was large, the square sky above was still confined and oppressive, just like all the other inner courtyards. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
