Ren Yaoyu asked casually, "What's the place ahead?"
Everyone seemed to see a corner of a red wooden door at the corner, which seemed to lead to a yard or a house.
The maid who had spoken earlier spoke first, "That's an abandoned courtyard in our mansion. I heard it used to be a library. But then the old master built a new study in the inner courtyard, and this place was abandoned. It hasn't been cleaned for a long time. A few days ago, the woman who was taking care of the flowers and trees in the garden saw a rat this big..."
The maid stretched out her hand to gesture, and it was as big as a domestic cat.
Sister Ji was shocked when she heard this and quickly took a few steps back.
Ren Yaoyin asked suspiciously, "I remember the Han family just moved here last year? How come they built a new study so quickly?"
Han You seemed a little displeased. He glared at the maid without leaving any trace and spoke before her: "Although our family has only just moved in, my grandfather actually bought this house a long time ago. He even sent someone to take care of it. So he had already renovated the house before we moved in."
"No wonder the paint on that corridor looked so new to me." Ren Yaoyin nodded in understanding and said with a smile.
The two maids exchanged glances when they saw that the sisters had no intention of moving forward or going to the pavilion. The maid who had spoken earlier was about to say something else when Ren Yaoyu said, "It's better to go to the pavilion to rest. It would be bad if you really run into a big rat."
Ren Yaoyin had no objection and nodded: "It's good to take a rest. My mother might send someone to tell us to go back soon."
Ren Yaoqi glanced at the corner ahead. Although she felt something was wrong, she did not object and did not attract attention.
Ren Yaoting saw that everyone wanted to go to the pavilion to rest, so he didn't say anything more.
The two maids secretly breathed a sigh of relief and enthusiastically led the few people into the pavilion.
Before they even reached the pavilion, Ren Yaoting suddenly pointed to a tree in the distance with huge white flowers as big as bowls and exclaimed, "What kind of tree is that? I've never seen one before."
Han You glanced at the spot Ren Yaoting pointed and said with a smile, "That's a pigeon flower. Although the flower is large and beautiful, it has no fragrance."
Seeing Ren Yaoting constantly looking over there, Han You thought for a moment and said, "How about I go with you to take a look over there?" Without waiting for the maid to speak, he said to Ren Yaoqi and the others, "I'll take Sister Ting to see the pigeon flowers. If you're tired, go and rest first. We'll be back soon."
The pigeon flowers that Ren Yaoting saw were in the northeast direction, some distance away from the abandoned library that he had seen before, so the two maids did not stop him.
The Ren sisters were not very interested in viewing the flowers and did not follow, so Han You just took Ren Yaoting with him.
One of the two maids sent by Old Lady Han said with a smile, "I just remembered that there are a few locust trees planted over there. I have to go and remind my sister to make sure she doesn't get hurt. Qin, you accompany Sister Ren to the pavilion to rest. I'll be back soon."
The last sentence was directed to another maid. The maid named Qin'er nodded and said, "Sister Shan'er, you go. I will greet the other sisters."
Shan'er chased after Han You and Ren Yaoting.
Qin'er took the Ren sisters to the pavilion and instructed the maids to prepare tea and snacks. Soon, they arrived with tea and snacks. Although they were only sitting there, the plates of snacks filled the entire table.
