Although Lei Ting came to Zhuangzi with his daughter, he was the head of the Lei family after all, and he had to deal with a lot of things in person every day, so he didn't have much time to spend with his daughter. And Yuegui still had no chance to get close to Lei Pan'er.
Yuegui knew that her chances were running out. When she returned to Yunyang City, Lei Pan'er went to live in the second master's yard again. It was almost impossible for her to do anything without disturbing the people in the second master's yard. Lei Zhen There are also two shrewd and powerful maids in the yard, which Mrs. Lei Tai gave to Lei Er Ye at the beginning, and their face is no smaller than her.
After thinking over and over again, Yuegui decided that she must deal with the wet nurse beside Lei Paner before returning to Yunyang City.
The nanny has been serving Lei Paner for several years. It is not easy to let her go, unless she is not fit to serve by Lei Paner's side anymore.
Today, Lei Pan'er and Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua returned to Zhuangzi after parting. Yuegui transferred a few maids away on the pretext that Lei Pan'er didn't like too many people following her. Afterwards, while the nanny and a few little maids were squatting on the ground for Lei Pan'er to catch crickets, she lured Lei Pan'er away with a little myna bird with broken wings and secretly hid it.
Yuegui didn't want it. What about Lei Pan'er? After all, she still needs to use this young lady in the future, so she didn't hide the person too far after she fainted, so she hid in the village, thinking After Lei Ting came back, he had to find the nanny who was derelict in his duties, and then found Lei Pan'er, who was "unconcerned" in a dry well in the backyard and fainted.
After all, no one would have thought that Lei Pan'er would disappear in such a small village, so when they found out that Lei Pan'er was gone, the maids and wives of the Lei family thought that the young lady was naughty and ran out to play.
Yuegui's calculations were not wrong originally, but she didn't expect that they would meet Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua who were just about to return as soon as they came out.
Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua had followed the little maid to the door. The Lei family's Zhuangzi was a small courtyard. It wasn't too big, but it was very decent in this land.
"Call all the maids and old ladies on your Zhuangzi." Ren Yaohua thought about it, but she didn't bring her own people to find it directly. This is someone else's Zhuangzi, not her own.
The little girl lost her head and forgot that Ren Yaohua was not the master of her Lei family at all, so she went to find someone without a word. Previously, the nanny had taken away all the maids and women who were serving closely by Lei Pan'er's side, and those who remained on the Zhuangzi were all doing rough work.
Seeing this situation, Yuegui knew that things were going to get worse. After all, the servants in Zhuangzi were originally from Zhuangzi, and they were very familiar with this place. If they were asked to look for it, they might find that they fainted in a short time. Lei Paner in the dry well.
But Lei Ting hadn't come back right now. If he didn't let him experience the anxiety and anger of his daughter's disappearance, he wouldn't have to punish the derelict wet nurse too severely. In this case, Yuegui's scheming would be in vain.
Today's matter, Yuegui has made great determination and has been planning for a long time. If she misses this opportunity, she will definitely pay more attention to Lei Pan'er's safety in the future. With her smoothness, she will have no chance to start again.
Thinking of this, Yuegui's face also turned cold, and she raised her hand to stop Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi: "Miss Ren, you can help us find our lady, our Lei family is very grateful to you. But this is the Lei family's other village, There is no way for our Lei family to greet the two now, and it is our master who lives in the village now, and the servants are for the sake of the two young ladies, it is better for the two to avoid some suspicion."
The Lei family's village has no female relatives, only a male master, so it is indeed difficult to entertain female guests. Yuegui's words are directly related to the etiquette and the woman's boudoir reputation, which is not too lethal.
If Yuegui said this in front of other young ladies, it would definitely make people blushing and fleeing. It's a pity that Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua are standing in front of her today.
Ren Yaoqi has experienced world affairs and has a firm heart. Where will he be confused by a word from the little maid? She knows the etiquette because she knows the etiquette, and it can't be used by others to threaten her.
And Ren Yaohua didn't take a maid in his eyes at all, and Yuegui's reaction was so weird that she was suspicious, and she ignored Yuegui and wanted to find Lei Pan'er.
The two sisters of the Ren family didn't take Yuegui seriously, and Yuegui was trembling with anger.
At this moment, the little maid had already called seven or eight rough envoys and waited for Ren Yaohua's orders.
Yuegui immediately took out the anger on those old women: "Who let you out, don't let me back in!"
The few rough women were startled, and looked at the little girl who had come looking for them tremblingly. The little maid did not dare to offend Yuegui on weekdays, but now she looked at Ren Yaohua with an embarrassed look on her face.
Ren Yaohua then looked at Yuegui and said condescendingly, "Are you the maid in Master Lei's yard? What's your name?"
When Ren Yaohua asked the name of the servant girl of the Ren family in this tone, it was basically the servant girl who made a mistake, and she asked people to go to the steward to receive the punishment.
No matter how powerful Yuegui is, he is nothing but a slave. After hearing this, he felt a little embarrassed, and he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed that he was suppressed by an inexplicable outsider.
On the other hand, the little maid on the side replied immediately: "This is the maid Lau Gui in our eldest master's yard."
Yuegui glared at the maid, and was about to curse, Ren Yaohua said coldly, "It's just a servant, but Pu'er is bigger than the master! I'm standing here today because I'm with your young lady, I'm you. Miss's guest! It's your turn to have a maid to see off the guest? As for you as a maid... The little master is gone, you are not in a hurry to find someone, but you will drive out the guests who came to help find someone, I want to ask Ask what's on your mind!"
People who don't know what to do around them can't help but look at Yuegui when they hear the words.
Yuegui's face turned pale, and she almost fainted. She pointed at Ren Yaohua and said, "You, you are spitting blood!"
Ren Yaohua didn't even want to look at her: "What are you, you deserve me to wrong you? What are you doing standing around stupidly? Are you waiting for your master to come back and punish you? Every two people, start from the first one entering the yard. Look." The latter words were said to those old ladies.
The mother-in-law of the Lei family was overwhelmed by her aura, so she complied.
Yuegui's brain was a little dazed, her eyes were red, and she didn't know what to think, so she came forward to pull Ren Yaohua.
Ren Yaohua might as well know how to do it, but she almost fell and was helped by Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaohua was about to get angry when a low male voice suddenly appeared behind them.
"What is this for?"
The people present turned their heads when they heard the words, and saw a young man in his twenties standing behind them.
His eyes swept across Yuegui, and then stopped on Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua sisters, raised his brows, and did not speak.
When Ren Yaoqi saw the person who came, he immediately recognized that he was Lei Ting, the head of the Lei family, and Lei Pan'er's father.
Ren Yaoqi squeezed Ren Yaohua's arm without a trace, and pulled her to greet Lei Ting together.
Yuegui looked at Lei Ting, then looked at Ren Yaohua, and then suddenly half covered her face and cried with pear blossoms, and ran in front of Lei Ting: "Master, you are back, Miss, she just went out with the nurse to play with Miss Ren, after returning Then it disappeared again. The servants were about to arrange for someone to find the young lady, and they came to the door. The servants said that they were not good at hospitality today, but they could not stop them even if they refused to listen to persuasion... , but how?"
It was the first time that Ren Yaohua had seen such a shameless minion who dared to turn black and white in public, and his face became cold with anger.
Yuegui cried for a while and didn't see Lei Ting talking, so she could not help but secretly raised her eyes and glanced at him, but saw that Lei Ting didn't even look at her, there was no expression on her face, she couldn't help but suddenly stop crying.
Ren Yaoqi said: "Master Lei, it's our sisters who are abrupt. Because Ling Ai is very close to us, I heard that she has disappeared suddenly, and you don't have enough staff in your other courtyard, so you made up your own mind to help find someone in a hurry. It's our ill-consideration that offended your maid, please don't blame it. It's just that the top priority now is to find Ling Ai, the nurse has already gone outside Zhuangzi with someone and a few of our maids, I'm thinking about Pan'er I’m young, I’m sure I won’t be able to go far at the moment, maybe I’m still hiding somewhere in Zhuangzi, so my sister asked the old ladies in your yard to look around in Zhuangzi.”
Ren Yaoqi spoke very kindly, Ren Yaohua was not so polite, and said with a cold face: "Your maid thinks that Pan'er can't be in Zhuangzi, and blames us for meddling. Because it is related to the safety of the children, we are more cheeky. Mind your own business for once."
"I didn't say that Miss, she couldn't be in the village, I just..." Yuegui was busy defending, but she knew better than anyone that Lei Pan'er was in the village.
Lei Ting nodded towards Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua, and then said to the old ladies, "Listen to this lady Ren, go and look around in this yard." On his way back, he heard that his daughter was missing. .
As soon as he said these words, even the blood on Laurel's face faded.
Master came back when they were arguing? I don't know how much he heard.
Although Lei Ting is young, he has been through. When I met the nanny outside, I had already asked about the situation, and I guessed that my daughter would not go too far, so although I was a little worried, it would not be messed up.
After the old ladies left to find someone, he apologized to Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua: "Thank you two young ladies today, there is no status in the family, please don't take offense."
Ren Yaohua saw that he was a sensible person. She had always eaten soft and not hard, so her face suddenly softened and she nodded: "At that time, there was no one in your house who could call the shots, so we made our own decisions, and we also had something wrong. "
Ren Yaoqi said: "Since Master Lei is back, let's go outside to help find it." Lei Ting is back, it is not suitable for them to stay any longer.
Lei Ting thanked them again and again, and then asked Liu Gui, the steward behind him, to personally send Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua out.
Before leaving, Ren Yaohua stopped in front of Lei Ting, she glanced at Yuegui, and thought for a while: "Master Lei, although Pan'er is only a four-year-old child, he shouldn't be someone who can't stand on the stage. A stepping stone for us. She is young and ignorant, don't adults understand it?"
Without waiting for Lei Ting to speak, she walked away.
Lei Ting was stunned when he heard the words, and looked at Ren Yaohua's back for a long time without reacting.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Ren Yaohua reluctantly, and was really speechless to the elder sister who dared to teach the Lei Patriarch a lesson in person.
After Zhuangzi left, Ren Yaoqi said to Ren Yaohua as soon as Lei's housekeeper left, "Third sister, you..."
Ren Yaohua interrupted before she could finish her sentence: "Okay, don't teach me a lesson, I know that today is a bit too much. It's just that when I think that Pan'er is so young... I really can't stand it!"
Having said this, Ren Yaohua sighed: "I know that our own family affairs are a mess, and we really shouldn't be concerned about other people's housework. I promise you that we won't set an example."
Ren Yaohua was so stubbornly submissive and took the initiative to admit his mistake, which surprised Ren Yaoqi.
"Forget it, I don't blame you for being meddlesome. Lei Pan'er's situation is indeed a bit special. Help if you can." Ren Yaoqi doesn't think kindness is a disadvantage, as long as you don't use the wrong place.
"Let's go to the nanny's side to see." Ren Yaohua was not used to admitting mistakes, so he left immediately when he saw that Ren Yaoqi didn't teach her a lesson.
Ren Yaoqi followed and asked, "Third sister sees that there is something wrong with the maid named Yuegui?"
Ren Yaohua was a little inexplicable when he heard the words: "Don't you think there is something wrong with her? I saw that you were suspicious of her, so you paid attention to her, and then she obstructed us in every possible way to find someone in Zhuangzi. As for where is she..." Ren Yaoqi gave Ren Yaoqi a sidelong glance, "How would I know? Why don't you tell me?"
Ren Yaoqi: "..."
Should she be moved that their sisters have the same heart
"I just think she looks a little wrong, and she's not in a hurry about Pan'er's disappearance, so I doubt it. But it's just suspicion. You told Master Lei that she had ulterior motives without any evidence. What if you wronged a good person? ?" Ren Yaoqi sighed.
Ren Yaohua actually believed in Xin Yaoqi's eyesight, but she didn't say it directly, she just said in a low voice: "If you've been wronged, you'll be wronged. I think this girl is a wicked person, and staying behind will also add chaos to the Lei family's house. It's just an opinion, it's not up to me to decide what to do."
Ren Yaoqi said nothing more.
The nanny and her people searched all over the area but could not find Lei Pan'er, and Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua let the rest of the maids and maids scattered to find people.
When they returned to the pool, Zhou Wen was the only one waiting there.
Seeing Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua coming back, Zhou Wen hurriedly greeted them: "I heard that Miss Lei's family is missing, are you all right?"
Ren Yaohua frowned: "What can we do? It's just to help find someone. What about Miss Zhou and my ninth sister?"
Zhou Wen hurriedly said: "I saw the Lei family looking for people everywhere. I was afraid that the neighborhood would be unsafe, so I asked Brother Fang to protect Miss Ren Jiu and sister and leave first. I will stay here and wait for you to come back. By the way, what happened to the Lei family? What? How can a good child disappear when he disappears?"
Ren Yaoqi shook his head and said, "Maybe the child is naughty and hiding somewhere."
At this moment, the little girl who had brought them into Zhuangzi from the Lei family ran over and said that Lei Pan'er had found her. Master Lei was afraid that they would be worried and sent her to let them know so that they could feel at ease.
At the same time, turnip and other maids who helped to find someone also came back one after another.
Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words.
"Where did you find it? Are you all right?"
The maid had a strange look on her face when she heard this: "I found it in an abandoned dry well in the backyard. The young lady had some skin on her head and some scratches on her body. The master checked the young lady, but fortunately the bones were not hurt. "
Ren Yaohua sucked in a breath of cold air: "Why did you fall into the dry well?"
The maid was also a little strange: "I don't know about slaves, but no one goes to the backyard on weekdays, and the young lady just got out without knowing why. Fortunately, those old ladies were very familiar with Zhuangzi, so they were able to find the young lady so quickly. Our master said that today is really thanks to the two young ladies, but it is just the time of our filial piety, it is not good to express our gratitude to the government with great fanfare, and we must thank you two when we have the opportunity."
Ren Yaoqi said with a smile: "It's good to find someone, but there's no need to thank them. We and Pan'er have already hit on each other, and today it's not because of the face of Lei's family to help. If you want to thank him, you should wait for Pan'er to get hurt. Well, she's here to thank us."
The maid said a few more good words, and then said goodbye and left.
Zhou Wen, who had been listening all the time, said in amazement, "How could the child fall into his own well when he is doing well? It's a good thing that the maids and old ladies of the Lei family came out to look around."
Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi looked at each other and said nothing.
Since Lei Pan'er was all right, Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua also put down their hearts and followed Zhou Wen back to Zhou's Zhuangzi.
Although Ren Yaoying and Fang Shuzhou were not there, Zhou Wen did not change his talkative temperament.
Speaking of which, although Zhou Wen is young, he is extremely considerate, and he can speak well enough to make you hate him. Ren Yaoqi felt that in a few years, this man must also be the most sought-after romantic boy in Yunyang City.
When they returned to Zhou's house, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhou had been waiting for a long time.
When I heard about Miss Lei's disappearance, I also asked a few questions. I heard that she was finally found in the well, and I was a little embarrassed.
Zhou Rong curled her lips and said, "I said why you disappeared as soon as you left, which made us wait for so long, so it turned out to be a good person."
Ren Yaoying said softly, "So the third and fifth sisters still know people from the Lei family?"
Ren Yaohua was too lazy to deal with them, and just dealt with it a few words. Ren Yaoqi sat on the side and drank tea in a sullen manner, not participating.
After having lunch at the Zhou family's Zhuangzi, the Liu family took them back to the city.
