Ren Yaoqi asked the maids to go down, and Ren Yaohua stopped Wujing to let her pay attention to the movements of that sister-in-law Wen.
After everyone went down, Ren Yaoqi shared some of his guesses with Ren Yaohua.
"What are they trying to do?" Ren Yaohua said with a cold face.
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while, then shook his head: "I can only watch."
Based on these superficial clues, she could only guess that there was something wrong with the cook surnamed Wen. It was very likely that Aunt Fang had arranged for her family to arrange for the Lin family. Now that Lin's side is powerless, Ren Yaoqi really can't guess what purpose Aunt Fang wants to use that cook to achieve.
But now at least I have some clues, which is better than a black eye.
The two sisters here are still guessing about the sister-in-law Wen, but what the sisters didn't expect was that after two days, they heard that the sister-in-law Wen asked Ren Shijia to return to Jiangnan.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but be a little surprised. Aunt Fang painstakingly arranged for someone to go to the Lin family, just for the purpose of bringing down the Lin family
This day is the third day of Ren Shijia's child's washing, because Ren Shijia is confinement at her parents' home, so the child's third washing is also done at her parents' home.
Early this morning, Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua went to Ren Shijia's Xiangnuan Pavilion with the Li family.
Ren Shijia's spirit is very good. When Ren Yaoqi went in to see her, she was leaning on the head of the bed, holding the sleeping child in her arms. Her whole body was filled with joy and happiness, and she looked like Seems like everything is fine.
Seeing that Mrs. Li brought Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua to see her, she also took the initiative to hand the child to Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua for them to hold. Seeing that both Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua were at a loss, she looked at them and giggled.
Li said, "Let the nurse hold it? Where can they hold the child? Don't bump into it."
However, Ren Shijia pouted and complained to Mrs Li, "Don't let his father hear this. Yu'er came to see the child yesterday and said that he wanted to hug him. I was worried that the child would not agree when he bumped into it. He was taught a lesson by his father. He said that if he was a son, he had to be raised extensively. If I protect him like this, he won't be able to do anything when he grows up."
Although it was a complaining tone, everyone present could hear the coquettish anger in it. The relationship between Ren Shijia and his uncle Lin Kun has always been excellent.
Li Shi just looked at her and smiled.
However, Ren Shijia looked at the child in his arms and sighed suddenly: "I don't expect him to do anything big, I just hope that he will grow up safely, marry a wife and have children, and inherit the incense of the second room of the Lin family."
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Li knew that she might have thought of several children who had not been saved before, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Ren Shijia's Ren family is rarely close to her, so she also has a good impression of Ren Shijia. He sincerely comforted her and said: "You have suffered so much, and now you must have all the hard work. Don't worry, the child will definitely talk about Kangkang growing up."
Hearing this, Ren Shijia couldn't help but smile, looked at Li and said, "That's why people say that I'm lucky. I've been married to the Lin family for so many years, and I've been happy for so many years, and only the third sister-in-law thinks I have suffered... Only the third sister-in-law, you Understand my difficulties." Although Ren Shijia was smiling, his eyes were red.
Li hurriedly said: "Look at me, I can say what you are doing to make you hurt. People who are in confinement can't cry."
Ren Yaoqi leaned over to look at the child in the nurse's arms, and saw that he was sleeping soundly with his thumb on his head, and his face was much better than when he was born on the second day, she deliberately muttered: "My uncle said that my cousin In a few days, I will be able to open my eyes to see us, this is the third day, and it is still such a good sleep."
Ren Shijia heard it over there, and couldn't help laughing: "Your uncle didn't lie to you, he'll open his eyes, but he's just getting milk and sleeping."
Li glared at Ren Yaoqi and said lightly, "No rules."
Ren Shijia was in a better mood, and said to Mrs. Li, "It's not that Yao period was unruly. My husband always had a good temper with his children. When he was in the Lin family, those nephews and nieces liked to call the sixth uncle long and the six uncle short. I always like to find him, Uncle Six, for anything."
"Auntie, I heard that your cook who can make Jiangnan dim sum is going back to her hometown?" Ren Yaoqi sat next to Ren Shijia and asked.
Ren Shijia nodded: "she didn't sign the contract when she came here. This time, she said that her mother was seriously ill and had to go back to take care of her. I originally came to her because I was pregnant with a child and needed someone who could make medicated meals. Now The child has already been born, and she asked to leave because of her filial piety, so I can't stop her."
Seeing Ren Yaoqi listening and not talking, Ren Shijia suddenly remembered something and said with a smile, "Do you like to eat Jiangnan's pastries? I'll ask my aunt to find a cook for me in the future."
Ren Shijia always thought that Ren Yaoqi was interested in Jiangnan's pastries. In the past few months in Ren's house, he would always let his kitchenette make some pastries to give to various houses and hospitals, and he would always take the initiative to send someone to ask Ren Yao. What snacks would you like to eat.
Ren Yaoqi smiled embarrassedly: "Her desserts are really delicious. Didn't my aunt say she would stay here? Did she suddenly ask to leave?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Li glanced at Ren Yaoqi strangely. Ren Yaoqi acted as if she liked the desserts that Ren Shijia sent over, but she knew about her own daughter. Ren Yaoqi doesn't like to eat too sweet pastries, and Jiangnan's desserts are all sweet.
However, she did not expose Ren Yaoqi on the spot, just sat and drank tea.
"Yeah, I asked her before, and she said she would like to stay in Yanbei. Yesterday, she came and said she wanted to leave and go back to Jiangnan." Ren Shijia also sighed regretfully.
She is still very satisfied with this cook. Her medicated meals and snacks are well prepared, and she is also smart. With such a person who understands some pharmacology by her side, when she returns to the Lin family in the future, she will not be afraid that others will secretly cause her and her child harm.
But Ren Yaoqi was guessing that the reason for Sister Wen's sudden departure had something to do with what they bumped into last time? When letting Shijia go, she didn't intend to leave so soon. Is this what Auntie Fang meant or who meant it
*********
What Ren Yaoqi didn't know was that the sister-in-law Wen, whom she secretly inquired about, was seeing Lin Kun.
Lin Kun looked at the woman who came in with the tray, and frowned secretly: "What are you doing?"
Sister-in-law Wen put the pastel-colored Fushou Gaiwan in front of Lin Kun, and said with a smile, "This servant is here to give you lotus seed soup at the order of your wife, so please take it slow."
Lin Kun didn't even look at the so-called lotus seed soup, he just nodded coldly: "Let's put it down and go out."
Sister-in-law Wen's face also sank: "Lin Liuye, how did you promise my master? Now you have to cross the river and demolish the bridge?"
Lin Kun said in a low voice, "Someone Lin never remembers what he promised, and he doesn't understand what you are talking about. Who is your master? If I remember correctly, you are the cook recommended by the Fang family to us. ."
Sister-in-law Wen smiled and said, "Since the sixth master Lin doesn't remember it, this slave would kindly remind you. When the big house of the Lin family saw that both your grandfather and father were unhappy, they coveted the property of your second house, and deliberately made a sudden It’s the right time to tell your mother the bad news, which caused your mother to die in childbirth when she gave birth to you. And you were adopted by the people of the big house, from the uncle of the second house to the sixth master of the Lin family’s big house.”
"Originally, you have been sick since you were a child, and the people in the Lin family thought you could not survive as an adult, but they didn't want your life to be hard. Not only did you grow up safely, but they also deliberately married the grandniece of Mrs. Lin's family. The people in the room kept drugging the sixth wife, causing her to have frequent miscarriages. The attention was to let your husband and wife break the miss of the family separation and adopt the children of the big house. I told you about the matter, but you scolded the slave and said that I was crazy, so the slave could only tell Mrs. Liu about it. Originally, my master thought you were really grateful to the people in the big house. , I even forgot my biological parents, and then I realized that it was not that you didn't believe it, you were just waiting for a better time, and this time was the intervention of the Ren family."
Sister-in-law Wen glanced at Lin Kun, "Perhaps you knew about the reason for Mrs. Six's miscarriage in the first place, but you deliberately kept silent. The reason was to win the help of the Ren family. The big house of the Lin family and the Ren family came together. The Ren family is so blatant to stand on your side. Sixth Master Lin, you are so scheming and decisive!"
Lin Kun looked at Sister-in-law Wen expressionlessly, with deep eyes.
Sister-in-law Wen felt a little flustered in her heart for some reason, but she still bit her head and pretended not to change her face and continued: "Lin Liuye, do you think the old man of the Ren family will be willing to help you? How can old lady Ren love you? The daughter of Mrs. Six, she is only a daughter. She is a member of the Lin family when she is married to the Lin family. The old man Ren said that he was willing to help you, but he just wanted to benefit from the branch of the Lin family. The Ren family and the Lin family agreed back then. The marriage between you and Mrs. Liu is nothing more than a calculation between the two families. Are you willing to transfer the things that belonged to you from the Lin family to the Ren family? "
After Mrs. Wen finished speaking, she carefully observed Lin Kun's expression, but to her surprise, Lin Kun was still calm, not angry or worried because he exposed it.
Sister-in-law Wen was a little confused about Lin Kun. Could it be that the master's guess and what he found were actually wrong
Lin Kun looked at Sister-in-law Wen for a moment, then walked slowly to the chair and sat down without changing his face, while continuing to organize the account book on the table, he said in a low voice, "Your master's story is well made up. But I'm not interested, you Let's go earlier."
Sister-in-law Wen gritted her teeth and was very unhappy with Lin Kun's indecision: "Lin Liuye, are you not afraid that I will publicize this matter?"
Lin Kun's hand paused, and then he began to lower his head to do his own business, without raising his head: "Please."
"Lin Liuye, you must know that the slave servants listened to your words and left Mrs. Liu not because the slave servants and their masters were afraid of you, but to show our sincerity. Instead of letting the Ren family figure it out, you might as well My master will cooperate. When the time comes, it will be desirable and necessary, isn't it happier than being a small child in front of your family? " Sister-in-law Wen said without giving up.
Lin Kun then looked up at Sister-in-law Wen, but asked curiously, "Actually, I want to know, why is your master jumping up and down like this? How did he know about my Lin family? "
Sister-in-law Wen frowned and said, "Lin Liuye, don't take other people's kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs!"
Lin Kun smiled slightly: "Whether it's good intentions or donkey liver and lungs, I don't need you to remind me, I don't want an outsider who appeared out of nowhere to intervene in the matter of my Lin family. As for you, it was originally agreed that you would leave soon, and I opened the door. I closed one eye and let you stay in the Lin family and came to the Ren family with your wife. I don't want your masters to go back on your word. I want you to stay in the Lin family so that you can be her help in the future. Your masters think too highly of me. Take care!"
Seeing what sister-in-law Wen wanted to say, Lin Kun reached out and interrupted: "This time, your master and I don't owe each other, and presumably there won't be any further involvement in the future. I heard that you and your wife have made it clear that you want to leave. , In two days, our Lin family has a boat to go to Kyoto, and you can take the Lin family's boat to go."
Sister-in-law Wen was annoyed when she saw that Lin Kun didn't enter the oil and salt, she couldn't help sneering: "Thank you Lin Liuye for your trouble!"
Lin Kun waved his hand and motioned for Sister-in-law Wen to leave. Sister-in-law Wen turned away with a cold face.
Although Lin Kun was nominally her master, she thought she was holding Lin Kun's secret before and didn't take him to heart. I don't want Lin Kun's previous attitude to be ambiguous. Although he didn't agree, he didn't refuse. I don't want to directly reject them after the child is born.
He didn't care about her threats at all, and in turn threatened her that if she didn't leave on her own, she would find a way to let her leave.
And Lin Kun didn't break up with Sister-in-law Wen and the people behind her for whatever reason he had before, but he was really not afraid of them. The handle in the mouth of Mrs. Wen is just their speculation, but her own relationship with the Fang family is traceable. If it is really going to be made public, it will not be Lin Kun who suffers.
After sister-in-law Wen left, she put down the account book in her hand, stretched out her right hand and squeezed her eyebrows slightly, but she looked absent-minded.
Although he was not afraid of Mrs. Wen's threats, the words she just said reminded him of his own experiences over the years. He checked later and found that the deaths of his grandfather and father were indeed accidents. And his mother was indeed born prematurely because she could not bear the news of her father's death suddenly, and finally did not survive due to excessive blood loss.
He was skeptical about his mother's death, but because many years had passed, he had searched for many years and there was no solid evidence to prove that the people in the big room deliberately harmed others.
As for his wife Ren Shijia, Lin Kun has mixed feelings.
Although he only began to suspect the Lin family's big house after his wife had a few miscarriages, he didn't know if he would have used Ren Shijia to win the support of the Ren family if he had known about it early on.
At least one point sister-in-law Wen was right. Lin Kun married Ren Shijia because he had no choice but to use the Ren family of Mrs. Lin's in-laws.
Sister Wen's face was very ugly after she came out of Lin Kun. Although Aunt Fang did not blame her, she promised to give her a sum of money to let her go back to Jiangning, but what can she do after returning? Mrs. Fang has brought a lot of confidants from her parents' home. She will never really trust her wholeheartedly. It is because she sees this that she will take the initiative to invite Ying to Yanbei to help Fang's aunt. of.
When walking out of the trail, Sister Wen almost bumped into a group of people. Fortunately, a little girl walking in front was very sensitive and jumped out of the way.
Sister-in-law Wen was in a bad mood before, and was about to question her right now, but her face froze when she saw the person behind the maid, and then she quickly showed a smile, bowed her knees, and shouted: "Fifth Miss. "
Ren Yaoqi smiled and watched Sister-in-law Wen's face change at this moment, and glanced at the path she had turned out before: "Sister-in-law Wen, where did this come from?"
Sister-in-law Wen thought that the girl in front of her was just a stinky little girl, and she felt a little relieved, and replied: "Before, my wife instructed my servants to give Lin Liuye, who is reading the account book in the study, a dessert at this time of the day."
Ren Yaoqi looked back and nodded: "I heard that Mrs. Wen is going back to her hometown? The desserts you made are delicious. I like them very much. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to eat them in the future."
Sister-in-law Wen is a lively and cheerful woman in front of others, she smiled and said, "What do you like to eat, the fifth lady? The slave girl will go back and make some gifts for the fifth lady. It will take about two days for the slave girl to return and leave Ren's house. There's still time for some snacks."
Ren Yaoqi was very happy when he heard the words: "It's so fortunate to be so hard on sister-in-law Wen, and my aunt will laugh at me for being greedy when she finds out."
"What's wrong with the fifth miss? Our sixth wife loves the young ladies the most. You like to eat the desserts in her yard. She doesn't know how happy she is."
At this time, sister-in-law Wen looked like a gentle and loyal servant, and there was no such cold face as before.
Ren Yaoqi casually said the names of the two dim sums. After Mrs. Wen had memorized them, she respectfully retired.
After walking out of the corridor, Ren Yaoqi glanced back and saw that Sister-in-law Wen had already left on another fork. Looking at the path she walked out before, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but ponder.
What is the relationship between Aunt Fang and Lin Kun
And sister-in-law Wen's face was so ugly before, why? Could it be that she did not leave the Ren family voluntarily? According to Aunt Fang's temperament, even if it was just a chess piece, she would not give it up before she played a big role. This is not Aunt Fang's style.
Ren Yaoqi felt that there was something wrong with this, but there was still a lot of fog. This feeling is really bad.
Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy can help you win a hundred battles. How can you figure this out? Ren Yaoqi, who was walking in the garden, couldn't help but turn his head quickly.
The day passed quickly. The next morning, Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua were in the Li family's room listening to Mother Zhou teaching them about housework. A person unexpectedly visited by Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi heard the concierge hurriedly running over, panting that the princess of Yanbei Wangfu was coming, and was surprised when she came to her by name.
Looking at Mrs. Li, when both Ren Yaohua and Mammy Zhou looked at her suspiciously, Ren Yaoqi retracted his surprised expression and said with a smile, "Last time the county master said that he was going to play in Baihe Town, I just thought of her as her. It's just a joke, I don't want to really come today."
Li thought for a while, then smiled: "It seems that this county master has a good relationship with you. The visitor is a guest, you can go and meet."
When Xiao Jinglin came like this, she naturally alarmed everyone in the Ren family. The old lady reacted first and hurriedly took the eldest lady out of the Ronghua Court to greet her.
It is not surprising that the old lady is so solemn. Although Xiao Jinglin is only the princess, but with the Xiao family's status in Yanbei, Xiao Jinglin's status is actually equivalent to the princess. All the women in Yanbei want to meet her, but unfortunately Xiao Jinglin is not in the house all year round, and has basically never attended the various gatherings of the famous Shuyuan family, so this time she took the initiative to come to the Ren family, surprising the female relatives of the Ren family. Besides, I couldn't help being a little flattered.
So after Ren Yaoqi knew the news, Xiao Jinglin had been respectfully invited to the Ronghua Court by Ren of the Ren family.
When Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua went to the place, they saw Xiao Jinglin with a calm face sitting quietly at the top, and the old lady Ren also sat at the bottom.
The eldest wife of the big house, the eldest young lady, and the fourth young lady, Ren Yaoting, were all standing behind the old lady Ren, and even the fifth wife, Mrs. Lin, who was arguing with Ren Shimao and disliked everyone, brought Ren Yaoyu over, and she was the only one who thought He was talking to Xiao Jinglin familiarly. Although Xiao Jinglin simply nodded, she did not dispel the enthusiasm of the fifth wife.
Seeing Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua coming in, the fifth wife said to Xiao Jinglin, "County Lord, our Yaoqi is here."
Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua went up to salute Xiao Jinglin, and the old lady frowned and looked behind them: "Where's your mother? Why didn't you come to see the county master?" The old lady felt that even she went out to greet Xiao Jinglin, the third wife Mr. Li didn't even show his face, which was really out of style.
Ren Yaoqi knew her mother. Although Xian Wangfu was no longer there, she did not have the consciousness to bow down to the daughter of the vassal king. Li did not deliberately put on airs, her pride was cultivated since childhood and integrated into her bones, so she did not deliberately not come, but she did not realize that she was going to come.
Ren Yaoqi did not remind Li, she knew that some things would touch a certain string in her mother's heart and make her sad.
