The two sisters walked around the lotus pond in the garden twice before slowly returning to the Ziwei Courtyard. Today's conversation shocked Ren Yaohua a lot. She hadn't thought of many things before, but it surprised her that Ren Yaoqi could think so far and so thoroughly.
The fifth wife, Mrs. Lin, eventually returned to her parents' home, and the fifth master, Ren Shimao, did not stop her.
When it was almost evening, someone came from the Lin family in Yunyang City.
This time, it was the Rong mama who was next to the eldest wife of the Lin family last time. It's just that the last time Madam Rong was here for Ren Shijia's business, this time it was for the Lin family.
Rong Momo came to Ren's house, and the concierge of Ren's house knew her and was as warm and thoughtful to her as ever. Madam Rong first asked to see the old lady Ren, but it was the eldest wife, Mrs. Wang, who received her. The eldest lady didn't say that the old lady would not see any guests, but she personally led the people to the Ronghua Courtyard and said, "This morning, the fifth younger brother and sister were making a fuss about going back to their mother's house. The younger brother and sister scolded back in front of the servants, and heard that they even moved their hands. Originally, when the old lady saw Fifth Brother's face with injuries yesterday, she thought it was just a small fight between husband and wife, and said that Fifth Brother was wrong and let it go first. Let's not make a fuss. To say that our old lady always treats the fifth siblings as a daughter-in-law, it would be a lie for those of us who are daughters-in-law to say that we don't envy."
Rong mama apologized and said with a smile: "our old lady and eldest lady often tell us that it is a blessing that she has been able to marry in the Ren family. Every time the eldest lady goes back to her parents' home, she always talks about how she is in the Ren family. It's just that the eldest lady is the only daughter of our wife. She has been spoiled since she was a child, and her temperament is inevitably a little stronger. This morning, when the Ren family sent someone to talk to us about the incident, our wife also helped to persuade the old lady a few words. It must be a bit of a misunderstanding to believe that the uncle is not such a fool. So when I saw the eldest young lady running back by herself at noon today, our wife taught her a lesson first."
The two chatted while walking, but when they arrived at the Ronghua Courtyard, they saw Gui Momo beside the old lady carrying a medicine bowl and quietly exited from the main room.
"This is the old lady?" Madam Rong looked at the bowl of black concoction she drank in surprise.
Gui Momo said in a low voice, "In the morning, the fifth wife was making a fuss about going back to her parents' house and started fighting with the fifth master. Our old lady was so anxious that we were about to rush over to persuade her, but she almost fell to the ground."
"Did you invite the doctor to see it? What did the doctor say?" Rong mama asked anxiously.
The eldest lady replied: "I asked the doctor to come, and the doctor couldn't say why, but said that it was because of her old age and her anger. The old lady herself said that it was fine, and also explained to us that the Lin family was coming. Bring it here to see her." After speaking, the eldest lady asked Gui Momo, "How is it now? Can the old lady see guests?"
Gui Momo was a little embarrassed: "Last night, the old lady didn't sleep all night. After drinking the medicine just now, the servant girl saw that she was a little sleepy, so she served her and fell asleep."
The eldest wife frowned and thought for a while, and said to Rong Ma, "Why don't you go in and report?"
Upon hearing this, Mammy Rong quickly waved her hand and said, "I can't, I can't. Let the old lady rest, she's still ill. My wife sent me here just to ask about the situation, and then to persuade my family. girl."
The eldest wife said: "If so, then let me tell you. I also know the whole story."
Rong mama hurriedly said: "eldest madam, you are busy with your personal affairs, how good is this."
The eldest lady said kindly, "If you are busy or not, you'd better go to my yard with me." Then she instructed Gui Momo, "If the old lady wakes up, send someone to tell us."
So the people sent by the Lin family did not see the old lady, but asked the eldest lady to receive it.
The eldest wife told Madam Rong about the Kang family one by one, including the Kang family's family background. It is no different from what the Ren family sent to the Lin family today. In fact, the main reason for the Lin family to send people here is to find out the attitude of the Ren family.
The eldest lady also understood in her heart, which is why the old lady sent her to receive the Lin family.
So after going back and forth, Mammy Rong understood the meaning of the Ren family.
The Ren family wanted to let the Kang family in. Madam Rong thought about her young lady's temper, and could only sigh in her heart.
The old lady Ren slept for more than two hours, and she only woke up after the sky had darkened.
Madam Rong lives in Ren's house today. Not long after Mrs. Ren woke up, she went to the Ronghua Court to greet her.
This time, Madam Rong met Mrs. Ren very smoothly, and Ren Shijia happened to be in Mrs. Ren's room.
Ren Shijia has been staying at her parents' house for two months this time. At first, the Lin family sent someone to pick him up a few times. Later, seeing that Ren Shijia was determined not to go back, Mrs. Lin sent a mammy every few days. Come visit and send some herbs and supplements.
Rong mama hurriedly went to greet old lady Ren and Ren Shijia.
"I heard that you came in the afternoon, and I just fell asleep. I just woke up and heard about it. I was about to have someone bring you over, but Jia'er happened to come to me for something." The old lady Ren was sitting on the kang. , being kind and authentic to Rong mama.
Madam Rong said with concern: "I heard that you were sick as soon as the slave came. I was very anxious. Old lady, you should pay attention to your health first. You still have to enjoy the blessings of this grandson."
The old lady Ren sighed: "What blessings do you enjoy? Children are indebted to their children, and they all come to collect debts. I am satisfied that they are not angry with me one by one."
As soon as Mammy Rong heard this, she thought that the old lady Ren might be talking about Lin's troubles, and she was thinking about how to answer it. But the old lady Ren pointed at Ren Shijia and said, "I am your age and I have already taken charge of the family, and the Ren family has to take care of the big and small things. You have been married to the Lin family for so many years, but I haven't made any progress at all, and even this trivial matter is asked of me. Speaking of which, I still have little experience and lack of experience!"
Rong Momo finally understood that the old lady Ren was talking about Ren Shijia. Busy helping to speak: "Old lady, you have wronged our Sixth Young Mistress. To be fair, old lady, who doesn't praise her when she sees her in our Lin family? Our old lady looks at her like an eyeball. "
When old lady Ren heard the words, she nodded: "This is the truth, she was spoiled and raised by me in her parents' family, and she was brought up as a girl by her husband's family when she married into the Lin family. No wonder she didn't make any progress! Your old lady, let you go out!"
Madam Rong's heart moved when she heard the words, thinking about what Old Madam Ren was implying? She couldn't help looking up at Mrs. Ren, but she saw that she was still teaching Ren Shijia in a low voice, and said in her mouth, "You can choose the two maids just now. I'm still alive, you can still let you hit me with your thoughts. If I'm gone that day, what will you do? I've told you how many times, don't rely on the favor of your elders to be arrogant, you should take it yourself If you have an idea, you have to make up your own mind…”
The old lady Ren taught Ren Shijia in front of Rong mama and didn't save her face. Ren Shijia just lowered her head and didn't speak, as if she was a little embarrassed.
When the old lady Ren was almost done with her lesson, the surprised madam Rong asked carefully, "The old lady has chosen two maids for the sixth young lady?"
The old lady Ren said in a low voice, "You are not an outsider, and I don't talk about the two families. Jia'er is trying to find a room girl for our uncle. She doesn't have a suitable one by her own side, so she calls her mother's house."
Rong mama was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ren Shijia again, feeling a little incomprehensible.
The sixth young grandmother had been empty for so many years, and she did not say that she would arrange a concubine for the sixth young master. I'm about to give birth when I'm pregnant, why are you thinking about finding a room for the sixth young master? Also begged his mother here
Rong mama hesitated. She wanted to ask, but because of her status, it was difficult to speak.
Mrs. Ren said: "I used to think that I was young and that nothing was in a hurry. Now I am not in a hurry. For this, Jia'er has lived up to our teaching. Now that she is married to her husband's family, she must use her husband's family for everything. It's important." The old lady Ren's tone contained a hint of pride.
Rong mama felt a little drum in her heart when she heard the words. Although old lady Ren was always talking about Ren Shijia, she couldn't help but guess whether she was insinuating Lin Shi. Ren Shijia was pregnant and arranging for her husband to pass the room, but Lin shi made a move against the uncle because the uncle was confused outside, and returned to her parents' house in a fit of anger.
But isn't the reason why Ren Shijia went back to her parents' house at the beginning because the sixth young master was stalking her and her maid? Why did you change sex after going back to your mother's house? Could it be that the old lady is still implying that her daughter who is not sensible is a mother and has not been taught well? Want her to persuade the eldest lady to teach the eldest lady to be more generous after she goes back
Madam Rong really couldn't understand what the old lady meant, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Originally, I thought that because of the Sixth Young Lady, Mrs. Ren might have a chance to turn things around in the Kang Corporation. But today's old lady Ren's attitude is actually to support her daughter to find a room for her son-in-law, and to spread the branches. If the Lin family was still blindly protecting the Lin family, wouldn't it be too domineering and unreasonable
Rong mama is already sweaty thinking about it.
Mrs. Ren has been teaching her daughter a lesson, and Madam Rong has no chance to ask about Lin's business, and it is not easy to ask now. Naturally, she also felt that Mrs. Ren's attitude was a little strange. But she couldn't say why.
Just thinking about it, I still have to go back and tell the eldest lady all this. With the wisdom of the eldest lady, she must be able to understand what kind of medicine is being sold in the gourd of Mrs. Ren.
Until the old lady Ren yawned and Ren Shijia asked her if she was tired, Mammy Rong understood that she had to retire, although she didn't say anything.
When Madam Rong exited from old lady Ren's room, she shook her head and sighed. Mrs. Lin used to worry about her daughter. She originally thought that Mrs. Lin couldn't let go because she was too pampered. Now look, the eldest lady was right.
How good the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is, it is not mother-daughter after all. In this world, only parents, not in-laws, can truly plan for their daughters.
Madam Rong left in a hurry early the next morning, and she didn't even see Mrs. Kang. Originally, she wanted to explore the bottom of the outer room that suddenly appeared, but now she felt that the attitude of the old lady of the Ren family was more important.
After Rong Momo went back, she didn't come back for a while, but the Lin family would send someone to deliver some tonics to Ren Shijia or Mrs. Ren every few days.
Mrs. Ren also sent several groups of people to pick up Lin's back, but Lin's still refused to come back. However, the fifth master unexpectedly did not go to Yunyang City to pick up people after the fifth wife left.
It turned out that after Lin's departure, Ren Shimao wanted to pass, but the old lady Ren got angry, and Ren Shimao didn't go. Later, the old lady taught her son: "If you are in such a hurry to come to the door, don't think about her coming back. Just stay at home and she will come back by herself in half a month."
Although Ren Shimao was dubious about his mother's words, when he thought of Lin's attitude, he didn't want to lose all his ground in his own home, and he would continue to throw it to Yue's house. Thinking of this, Ren Shimao did not have any resentment towards the Lin family.
During the period when Lin's family left Ren's house and returned to her parents' house, Kang's family would take care of Ren Shimao from time to time. Her current identity has passed the Ren family's face, so this can be considered normal. The wife left by herself, and the concubine was not allowed to come up to take care of the husband
So seeing Lin's days away from home getting longer and longer, Ren Shimao not only didn't look for someone, but became more and more harmonious with Kang's.
After half a month like this, Lin came back with his daughter.
At that time, Ren Shimao was having dinner with the Kang family. Originally, the Kang family was going to stand and serve. Ren Shimao felt pity for her to be pregnant, so he asked her to sit together.
Hearing the news of Lin's return, Ren Shimao immediately got up and was about to run out to pick up Lin, but was held back by Kang: "Master, if you run out like this, then our half-month efforts will be in vain. You should sit here steadily and wait for the wife to come to you. Otherwise, the wife can go once, and then can go a second time, a third time. Do you hope so?"
Ren Shimao thought for a while, and felt that what Kang said made some sense. After all, Lin's came back by herself as she expected, so Ren Shimao sat down again: "Then I will listen to you and wait for her here." Ren Shimao said gratefully. , "Li Niang, thank you very much this time, if it wasn't for you to help me think about it, she would definitely still refuse to come back."
Mrs Kang smiled and rubbed her belly: "Liniang also wants to see the two of you living in harmony, so that my child and I can have a better life."
Ren Shimao looked at her flat stomach and felt a little guilty: "Li Niang, although I can't give you that kind of feeling, I will take good care of you and the child. Huijun has a bad temper since she was a child, you should be patient in the future. Endure her, if you really can't bear it, run away, but don't mess with her."
Mrs Kang looked at Ren Shimao and quietly replied "Okay".
Ren Shimao felt more and more that the Kang family was reasonable and a rare good woman.
Ren Yaoqi has been paying attention to Wufang's affairs for a while, and Ren Yaohua has also arranged for people to pay attention to Kang's every move. Speaking of which, Ren Yaohua's subordinates can use more people than Ren Yaoqi, and many of them are taught by Zhou Mama.
The people in the house are talking about the rapid development of the relationship between the Kang family and Ren Shimao these days. The person who originally thought that Aunt Kang would fall out of favor as soon as she entered the door suddenly felt that the wind was about to turn. It turned out that the fifth master was not displeased with Aunt Kang, but because the fifth wife was blocking her. Now that the fifth wife is not in the mansion, the fifth master is getting closer to Aunt Kang.
For these words, Ren Yaoqi asked Ren Yaohua to just watch and listen, not to mix.
On this day, as soon as the news of the return of Lin's carriage came, Ren Yaohua came to find Ren Yaoqi and asked in surprise, "How did you guess that Aunt Wu would be back in the next few days?"
Ren Yaoqi smiled and said: "Didn't you send someone to watch over there? Although Aunt Wu returned to her parents' house, she still kept people in the house. Originally, those people just quietly went to Yunyang City every three days. In response to the news, there are people going back and forth every day these few days. Aunt Wu can't sit still at her parents' house."
"What does Uncle Wu mean? He has been very indifferent to Aunt Wu outside the past few days, and only let Aunt Kang accompany you every day."
Ren Yaohua was only a child after all, and could not understand the thoughts between these men and women.
Ren Yaoqi sympathized with what happened to Ren Yaohua in her previous life, and she always gave her some advice and guidance when talking to her recently.
"This is the genius of the Kang family. Didn't you see it, because she lived in a remote place, and because of the intentional or unintentional hands and feet of the people who were left by Mrs. 5, when she first came, even a maid couldn't help her. , the daily face wash is done silently by myself. But now, those maids and old women dare not despise her anymore, why do you think this is?"
Ren Yaohua thought for a while: "Is it because of Uncle Fifth's attitude?"
Ren Yaoqi nodded: "You and I have lived in this inner courtyard for so many years, and the servants don't understand where they are playing around? For people like Aunt Kang who have no foundation and no backing, they all look at the dishes and serve the dishes. Yes. I'm assuming Aunt Kang persuaded the fifth uncle to let the fifth uncle be intimate with her on purpose and show it to the fifth aunt. What benefits do you think she can get?"
"First of all, those servants who don't know the truth don't dare to look down on her and show her face, and then the fifth uncle will think that she is considerate and treat her differently?" Ren Yaohua analyzed.
Ren Yaoqi nodded and smiled: "Well, that's it."
Ren Yaohua frowned: "But didn't she bring Aunt Wu back? If Aunt Wu and Uncle Wu are reconciled as before, wouldn't she be wasting all her scheming?"
Ren Yaoqi blinked: "Then let's just wait and see? I bet the fifth aunt will suffer again, or it will be boring."
Not long after, there was news from outside.
The fifth wife, Mrs. Lin, was very well-behaved as soon as she came back, so she went to the old lady's yard to say goodbye. The old lady didn't say anything to her, she just sent her back to her yard to rest.
I didn't want the fifth wife to see that Kang was in her yard as reported by the following people, and she was wearing her clothes as soon as she went back. And Ren Shimao sat there chatting and laughing with Mrs Kang, and she didn't even notice when she went back to the yard and entered the house.
Is this worth it
Originally, Mrs. Lin had been preached by her mother for so long when she was at her parents' house, and her heart was calmed down a lot, but this time it was immediately lit again.
He immediately ordered his mother-in-law and maid to go up to catch the Kang family, stripped them all and threw them out. To Mrs. Kang, she explained that she accidentally spilled tea on her body and wet her clothes, so the fifth master asked people to find the old clothes that Mrs. Lin had no longer worn and ordered to give to the servants and brought them out to her. Explanation fell on deaf ears.
Surprisingly, when the maids and wives were holding Mrs. Kang to strip her clothes, the fifth master, who never spoke loudly in front of the fifth wife, suddenly became angry. He went forward and opened the doors of the maids who were controlling the Kang family one by one, and pointed at the fifth wife and scolded "Shrew!"
It is said that the fifth master and the fifth wife and their wife used to scold Lin's "shrew" when they were playing with guns. But this time, it was a hornet's nest. Lin Shi was so angry that he threw his mother's teachings these days to where he didn't know, and when he came up, he scuffled with the fifth master, and finally the fifth master's face was painted again.
In the end, the fifth master took the Kang family to the Kang family's yard. This was the first time the fifth master entered the Kang family's yard after the Kang family entered the mansion.
After Ren Yaohua heard this, he was silent. After the maid retreated, she said softly to Ren Yaoqi, "You guessed it again."
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "It's not a guess, but I know the temperament of Aunt Wu. When it comes to things related to Uncle Wu, Aunt Wu is the most unbearable."
Ren Yaoqi didn't have a favorable impression of Lin's family. If Lin's family hadn't fanned the flames against Ren Yaohua and Li's in the last life, Ren Yaohua might not have fallen to that level. Although Lin was also designed to match Ren Yaohua, but she has to step on a junior, she is not a good person.
However, in this matter, Ren Yaoqi still sympathized with Lin. Regardless of Lin's own character, her feelings for Ren Shimao are sincere.
