Han Yunqian glanced at Han You. Although he didn't speak, his calm and gentle eyes made Han You calm down gradually.

Ren Yaoqi pretended not to notice Han You's strangeness, just looking at the red lacquered wooden door without any carvings.

"I heard this used to be a study?" Ren Yaoqi asked casually.

"The original owner of the house built this small study here. When we moved in, we found that the bookshelves inside were damp and covered with insects and ants. We abandoned it because we were worried that the books would be moldy if we put them here." Han Yunqian nodded, Peaceful and authentic.

At this time, the red lacquered wooden door squeaked, and the fan came out from inside, followed by a stooped and short figure.

Ren Yaoqi took a closer look and found that it was an older woman. That old woman is very old, she looks to be at least sixty years old. Seeing the master standing outside, he walked over to salute, a little slow in his actions.

"Master, the dumb woman said that she was... was cleaning the main room, so she didn't see anyone. The slaves also looked around, but they didn't find the seventh lady of the Ren family." Fan'er came forward and replied to Han Yunqian.

The dumb woman is probably not deaf, after hearing what Fan Er said, she quickly gestured a few words with her hands.

Although the dumb woman was standing with her back to Ren Yaoqi, Ren Yaoqi still noticed some of her movements. When I lived in the capital in my last life, there was a cook in the Pei family who was deaf and dumb although he was a good cook. Ren Yaoqi has been in contact with her before, so she can guess some gestures.

The dumb woman seemed to mention that she was burning incense before?

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

She originally thought that there was someone related to the secrets of the Han family hiding in this courtyard, but because she was afraid that the secrets would be leaked out, she only hired a dumb woman who couldn't speak to serve her, and she only delivered meals to it every day.

But the dumb woman didn't seem to mention anyone, but burning incense.

Where do you need to burn incense? Buddhist hall? Ancestral hall?

Ren Yaoqi felt that the truth seemed to be getting closer, but she couldn't grasp the clue for a while.

If the person she saw just now was Ren Yaoting, then Ren Yaoting is still in this yard, avoiding Fan'er and the dumb woman.

Han Yunqian's attitude towards the dumb woman was very gentle, and he even made some gestures with her. It seemed to be words of comfort to her.

At this moment, a strange old woman hurried out: "Master, miss, the old man is coming this way."

Han You subconsciously glanced at the yard when he heard this, his face became tense again.

Han Yunqian lowered his head and said to her: "Let's go to meet grandfather." Then he said to the dumb woman, "There's nothing else going on here, you go in first."

Fan'er said: "Young master, this servant should continue to look for Miss Ren Qi. This garden is not big, but it is not small. It would be bad if Miss Seven got lost."

Han Yunqian nodded lightly and said nothing.

The dumb woman bowed and retreated, and Fan hurriedly chased after her, and whispered something in her ear. The dumb woman nodded and went into the courtyard, but Fan didn't follow.

The red lacquered wooden door closed again, and Ren Yaoqi heard the sound of the key falling.

"Sister Yaoqi, come with us." Han You hurriedly said to Ren Yaoqi, she seemed to be afraid of something and didn't want Ren Yaoqi to stay here.

Ren Yaoqi nodded, and followed Han Yunqian with Han You.

Han You was still whispering: "Where did Sister Ting go? How could she not be found?"

Ren Yaoqi glanced back, and found that Fan'er said she was going to find Ren Yaoting but didn't go far, just wandering around the door.

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help being a little worried about how Ren Yaoting would come out. If he came out from the main entrance, even if the sound of pulling the gate would not alarm the old dumb woman, he would probably be caught by the fan blocking the entrance. What's more, if the dumb woman entered the yard, she might search all over the yard.

The few people didn't go very far when they heard footsteps walking towards this side in a hurry.

After a while, Han Dongshan appeared around the corner.

Ren Yaoqi looked up and couldn't help being slightly startled. At this time, Han Dongshan's footsteps were in a hurry, his brows and eyes were full of coldness, which was very different from the hearty and kind elder Ren Yaoqi saw in the garden of Ren's family last time. It is unbelievable that one person can have such two faces at the same time.

Could it be that Han Dongshan like this is his nature? Is that why Han Yunqian and Han You, who are grandchildren, are so jealous of him?

Ren Yaoqi turned her head subconsciously, pretending to look around at the surrounding scenery.

It wasn't until Han Yunqian and Han Dongshan called grandfather that Ren Yaoqi turned his head belatedly.

When he looked at Han Dongshan again, although his face was still a little stiff, the sudden cold expression before had subsided.

"Master Han." Ren Yaoqi bowed her head and bowed her knees.

Han Dongshan changed his face quickly, and when he spoke, he was already kind and loving: "Oh, you are the daughter of the Ren family?"

Ren Yaoqi replied yes in a low voice.

Han Dongshan's eyes lingered on Ren Yaoqi for a moment, then looked at Han Yunqian and Han You, a gleam flashed in his eyes. Han Yunqian stood respectfully with his head bowed, but Han You couldn't help shivering.

"Accompany Fifth Miss Ren to sit in the pavilion first." Although Han Yunqian didn't look at Han You, he seemed to know her fear of her grandfather, and softly relieved her.

Han You raised his eyes and glanced at Han Dongshan, probably because he was worried about Ren Yaoqi's presence, Han Dongshan nodded to let Han You back down.

Han You breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time looked at his brother worriedly, a little hesitant.

Han Yunqian smiled gently at her: "Go ahead and entertain the guests well."

Only then did Han You bow his head and pull Ren Yaoqi away.

As soon as Ren Yaoqi and Han You left, Han Dongshan's face immediately turned cold again, and he left Han Yunqian without saying a word and continued on his way.

Han Yunqian bowed his head and followed.

Han Dongshan came straight to the gate of the courtyard, and the fan who was guarding the side saw that it was Han Dongshan who had come, so he hurried over to salute.

"Did you find anyone?" Han Dongshan asked quietly.

Fan'er shook his head, and said nervously, "Maybe he didn't go in, but went elsewhere. The dumb woman has already locked the door."

Han Dongshan raised his hand and knocked on the red lacquered wooden door, and the door was opened again after a while. Han Yunqian, who was stretched out by the dumb woman, hurriedly welcomed him in, and Han Yunqian followed.

As soon as the courtyard door was closed, Han Dongshan glanced coldly at Han Yunqian and asked, "Who allowed you to bring people in!"

Han Yunqian bowed his head and said: "The door is a guest, so we can't even let guests into the garden." Han Yunqian glanced at the dumb woman, "The dumb woman has been guarding here, and no one has come in. That room fell from the outside again. Lock, even if someone breaks in by mistake, they can’t get in.”

Hearing the words, the dumb woman raised her head as if she wanted to make a gesture, but she put down her slightly raised hand again after seeing Han Yunqian's peaceful and gentle eyes.

Han Dongshan's face finally looked better, but he said coldly: "In this way, she has saved her life!"

His voice was cold and ruthless, and people couldn't help feeling terrified when they heard it.

"Go and open the door. Qian'er come in with me!" Han Dongshan motioned to the dumb woman.

What he said by opening the door was not the courtyard door, but the main room at the back of the courtyard.

The dumb woman took out a copper key from her waist, and walked in front of the grandparents and grandchildren of the Han family to the backyard.

After the figures of the three disappeared in the front yard, a cautious head suddenly poked out from behind a plinth under the eaves of the north room in the front yard.

Because this plinth can be seen as soon as you enter the door, it is under the eyes of people, and it is not too big, so the dumb woman couldn't help but ignore this place when she was looking for someone in the yard.

And this person who sticks his head out is not Ren Yaoting, who else could it be? Fortunately, she has a slender body and can hide it, otherwise she will be caught.

Ren Yaoting seemed to know that she had caused trouble, her face was pale and anxious. She looked in the direction of the courtyard door. She heard the sound of the door gate falling before, and knew that even if she ran to the backyard while someone was going to it now, she might alarm the people inside. And she didn't know if there was anyone guarding the door, she just heard a woman's voice.

Now she regrets so much that she tricked Han You into sneaking in out of curiosity. What Grandpa Han said just now made him tremble, although she didn't understand why Han Yunqian, who is so gentle and refined, would have such a grumpy grandfather.

At this time, although Ren Yaoting realized that he had caused a disaster, he did not think that the disaster he caused was fatal. So she only thought that Han Dongshan was a grumpy person, and she also thought that what he said before, "In this way, she has saved her life!" was also the words of Mr. Han to vent his temper, and she didn't take it seriously.

At this time, she was more worried about her life than she would make a bad impression on the elders of the Han family.

Over there, Ren Yaoqi followed Han You for a while, but Han You stopped suddenly, touched his wrist and exclaimed, "Huh? My bracelet is missing?"

She raised her sleeves, and sure enough, her right wrist was empty.

"What can I do? This bracelet was given to me by my grandmother to ward off evil spirits." Han You's face was full of anxiety.

The maid beside her was also startled: "Miss, why did your bracelet disappear? If it fell to the ground, there should be a sound."

Han You looked anxious: "The bracelet was a bit big in the first place, and it was easy to fall off. It must have been accidentally hung down by some branches and leaves when Sister Ting and I were at the pigeon flower tree. The grass there is thicker, even if it is You can't even hear it when you hit the ground."

Speaking of this, Han You told the maid behind him: "Go there and find it for me, Aunt Xiao said that my luck this year was unlucky, so my grandmother gave me this jade bracelet that she wore before and was consecrated by an eminent monk. If you lose it, you will fail grandma's heart."

The maidservants behind Han You hurriedly responded. Seeing that the maid named Qin'er next to Mrs. Han was still standing there, Han You said anxiously: "Sister Qin'er, you should help me find it too. They are all clumsy!"

Qin'er hesitated and said, "Miss, don't you need someone to wait by your side?" As she spoke, she glanced at Ren Yaoqi.

"The pavilion is right in front of you. The mothers-in-law and maidservants are all there. I'm short of someone to take care of me. Go and help me find a babysitter. By the way, see if there is any place in the rockery. I stayed there when I was looking for Ting sister .”

Qin'er looked at the pavilion not far away, thinking that the old man Han must have gone to that yard, and the young lady would not intentionally break the taboo of the old man to go there again, so she nodded and said, "I'll go find you now, servant girl. Don't worry, miss, I won't run away there."

Han You nodded: "Go quickly."

Qin'er hurried to the fork in the east.

As soon as the person left, Han You grabbed Ren Yaoqi's hand, with a serious expression on his face: "Sister Yaoqi, come with me."

"Sister You?" Ren Yaoqi looked at Han You in surprise.

Han You didn't care whether Ren Yaoqi agreed or not, he pulled her around and walked back, explaining in a low voice: "I deliberately dismissed them, Sister Ting..." She paused, then turned to look at Ren Yao Apple behind Qi glanced at Ren Yaoqi questioningly.

Ren Yaoqi smiled and said, "It's okay, she won't say anything."

Only then did Han You sigh: "There are people around you who you can trust. If I do something, the people around me will tell my grandparents. Even my brother..." At this point, she realized that she had made a mistake again. , hurriedly stopped talking.

Ren Yaoqi pondered her words in her heart. What Han You meant was that she and Han Yunqian had no confidants? All the people who serve them are loyal to Mr. Han and Mrs. Han?

Han You's voice got lower and lower: "Sister Yaoqi, listen to me, Sister Ting must have sneaked into that yard just now. But my grandfather also went, so she must be the one who wants to come out now." I can’t get out. If my grandfather finds out, the consequences will be disastrous. We must bring her out before she is discovered.”

Han You had a serious look on his face.

Ren Yaoqi also whispered to her: "Why would the consequences be unimaginable if it is discovered? Isn't it just an abandoned study?"

Han You shook his head: "You don't understand, my grandfather... he doesn't allow people to enter that yard. Only my grandfather, grandmother, father and brother are allowed to enter, my mother and I are not allowed either. If a trustworthy maid door enters I can only wait in the first courtyard, and only the dumb woman guarding the courtyard can move around. When I first moved here, I went in once out of curiosity, and my grandfather just came in, so I hid under a pillar However, the personal maid I brought from Jizhou, Ling'er, was discovered by my grandfather. Later... Later, my brother came in and took me out quietly, but Ling'er was beaten and sold for violating my grandfather's taboo gone."

Han You's eyes were a little gloomy: "Ling'er has served me since she was a child, and she is the only one who only looks after me."

Even Han You, the Han family, doesn't know about that yard? Ren Yaoqi couldn't help being surprised.

"Sister Ting asked me about the yard just now, and I also told her about it. She also said that she wanted me to take her in to have a look. I said I didn't dare, so she didn't say anything. But now the garden is full. I can't find her, so I think she must have gone into the yard."

Ren Yaoqi wondered: "Since she can't come out, how can we go in to find her? The maid named Fan seems to be guarding the door all the time, and the door may be closed."

Han You blinked when he heard the words: "You just come with me, I have a way to secretly bring people out."

Although Ren Yaoqi was somewhat skeptical, her curiosity about the secrets of the Han family made her continue to follow Han You.

Sure enough, the fan was still guarding the gate of the courtyard. Han You said to Ren Yaoqi: "Can you let your maid wait here?"

Ren Yaoqi thought for a while, nodded and told Apple: "You wait here, if someone asks you, just say that you are here to help Miss Han find the bracelet."

Apple responded quietly.

Han You pulled Ren Yaoqi into a fork in the garden.

When she got out again, Ren Yaoqi realized that Han You led her around in front of the fan, and finally stopped in front of a courtyard wall.

Ren Yaoqi looked around carefully, and found that this place should be the side wall of the mysterious courtyard.

Han You dragged Ren Yaoqi through the narrow corridor again, looking down at the bricks as he walked. Not long after, he finally stopped: "It's here."

She put down the hand holding Ren Yaoqi, and squatted down to knock on the wall bricks.

Ren Yaoqi stood aside and watched curiously, and saw that Han You had found a big green brick, and she didn't know how she moved it, but she pushed the big blue brick to move half an inch inside. A wire was exposed. Han You grabbed the wire and pulled it out hard, but turned around and was pulled out again. Ren Yaoqi knew that the brick could be moved, so she also squatted down to help Han You.

The two pulled out the brick together, and Han You moved the other brick next to it. After the first brick came out, the rest was much easier. After removing four bricks in a row, Han You pointed to the bottom for Ren Yaoqi to see.

It turned out to be another hole, and the soil underneath was also hollowed out by someone. It could actually accommodate a person, just like a dog hole.

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help being surprised.

Han You explained in a low voice: "The original owner of this house had a young son who was very naughty, so he built this study in the garden and detained people to study here. Not thinking that the youngest son is also a bit smart, he secretly dug this hole , Sneaking out from time to time. I only found out the secret by accidentally discovering a notebook left by that person. I also entered from here that time. Sister Yaoqi, you are here to help me watch the wind, and I will go in and find someone by myself , you still don't want to go in with me, it will be inconvenient if there are too many people."

Ren Yaoqi glanced at the "dog hole" and nodded: "Be careful when you go in, don't let people see you."

Han You took off her outer blouse and handed it to Ren Yaoqi, so that when she came out and put on the blouse, others would not find that the clothes inside her were dirty.

"There is a fish tank blocking the entrance from here. If I'm careful, I won't be found. My grandfather and the others should not be in the front yard now."

How did Han You know that Mr. Han was not in the front yard? Ren Yaoqi couldn't help thinking.

Presumably Han You still knew something, but he didn't say it.

But since she was willing to risk being scolded by her grandfather to find Ren Yaoting, and was willing to explain so much to an unfamiliar person like her, Han You was still very kind.
