At that time, she had just recovered from her illness, when she heard Mammy Zhu and Aunt Fang beside Kumquat saying that Ren Yaoyu's mother and sister-in-law, the two maids who had been sold out of the house, were looking for them, and they were asking people to help them take the two maids out of the house. The private houses that have been saved over the years are taken out, and they also promise to share some of the commissions for those who help.
I didn't want the private houses of the two maids to be raided by the old ladies in the old lady's yard, taking advantage of the opportunity to search for their residences, and not even a penny was left.
At that time, there were rumors in the house that the two maids next to Ren Yaoyu were sold because they stole the valuables from the old lady's room. Madam Zhu also sighed that she did not know how many good things were given to those in Ronghuayuan. concealed.
Kumquat said with a sneer, the two maids were not driven out of the house because of stealing things, but because they made some unclean things in the old lady's house and violated the taboo of the master.
Mammy Zhu was about to ask again, but someone came to report that Ren Yaohua had been kicked out for angering the old lady.
At that time, she felt that she had lost face because she was slapped twice by Ren Yaohua. She could not pretend to be sick. She was secretly happy when she heard the news.
Afterwards, Madam Zhu helped her find out that the reason why Ren Yaohua angered the old lady Ren was because the fifth wife exposed the frame up of Ren Yaoyu.
It's just that Ren Yaoyu was not rehabilitated because of this, until she left the Ren family, the old lady was always indifferent to this granddaughter.
Thinking about it now, what she overheard back then was not necessarily the truth. Aunt Fang's maid Kumquat has a fellow sister named Jin Lian, who is the first-class maid in the old lady Ren's room.
It's just that this matter may not have been done by Ren Yaohua, and Ren Yaohua may have been used as a gunman.
Thinking of the only person who profited from this later...
Just as Ren Yaoqi was thinking about it, the old lady Ren was already saying, "Go and let the two maids outside come in, and call the old woman too."
Gui Momo, who was beside the old lady, hurriedly went.
Not long after, the two maids who were kneeling outside were escorted in by four rough women.
Xu Shi had been kneeling outside for a long time, and the two maids were so cold that they couldn't stand up. As soon as the women let go, they fell to the ground.
"When Gui Momo asked you something before, you refused to say it. Now that I have been kneeling for so long, I must have become more awake." Old Madam Ren looked at the two of them and said.
The fifth wife also reprimanded with a stern face: "Some people said that they saw you quietly slipping out of the Ronghua Courtyard in the morning, and now you are in front of the old lady, so you can tell the truth. Don't be so tired that your eighth young lady also falls in the end. Reproach. You know my temperament, and you can't tolerate that slave who bullies the master! If you look at the old lady's kindness and become obsessed, I will not forgive you lightly when you leave this Ronghua Court!"
Lin's words were very righteous and stern, but when the two maids heard the words, they buried their heads even more, and their knees swayed unconsciously.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at the fifth wife. Could it be that Ren Yaoyu really did something that would anger the old lady? Lin's words are clearly a secret warning to the two maids to be careful when they speak. If they dare to involve Ren Yaoyu, she will never forgive her.
The old lady Ren lifted her eyelids and glanced at Lin, and then looked at the two girls: "One more chance with you."
"Back, back to the old lady, the slaves didn't take anything out from the Ronghua Courtyard." One of the maids stammered.
The old lady Ren never looked at them again.
The atmosphere in the room was a little strange. The two kneeling on the ground were shaking all the time, and it was obvious from their stiff posture that they were very scared. Ren Yaoyu was also extremely uneasy and tugged at her sleeve tightly.
The rest of the people felt Old Madam Ren's displeasure at this time and did not dare to speak.
"Mother..." Mrs. 5 glanced at her daughter and had no choice but to come out.
At this moment, Gui Momo lifted the curtain and came in, followed by a woman in a half-new crow cyan cotton-padded jacket behind her.
"Reporting to the old lady, the Lu'an family is here." Gui Momo stood beside Luohan's bed.
Everyone's eyes turned to the old woman who was kowtowing a little cautiously.
When Ren Yaoqi waited for her to get up, he also looked at her carefully, and sure enough, he didn't have the slightest impression.
The fifth wife looked at the first hair of the Lu'an family with a very critical eye: "Where are you from the old woman? Why are you looking at such an eye?"
Hearing the words of the Liu'an family, she shrank her head and rubbed her hands, and glanced at Gui Momo.
Gui Momo hurriedly explained: "She was originally in charge of tea at the Outer Court Affairs Office, but because the two old ladies who were cleaning the courtyard in Ronghua Court broke their waists while cleaning the courtyard from the freezing snow yesterday, the old lady let the outside The steward has newly transferred people in to temporarily take over the work of the two old ladies."
"It turned out to be from the outer courtyard." The fifth wife, Mrs. Lin, said to the old lady with a smile, "Mother, this is the first time that the wife from the outer courtyard has entered the second door, and she can't tell the difference between east, west, north and south, plus these little girls are all one and the same. Shui'er's indigo blue cotton jacket, it's normal to see it wrong."
The old lady waved her hand, stopped Lin's words, and asked the Luan family, "Are the two people you saw this morning here?"
The people from Lu'an's house looked left and right, their eyes fixed on the two maids who were kneeling not far from her right, and pointed at them with stubby fingers: "Back to the old lady, here. It's these two girls."
"Did you see clearly? This is Miss Eight who is serving you." Lin shi frowned.
The Lu'an family glanced at Lin shiveringly, then moved over to take a closer look at the two maids, and nodded at the old lady: "My servant is sure, it's these two girls. The ice edge fell into the neck, and the slaves hid in the tea room next to them and wanted to clean up. They were walking past the door of the tea room at that time, and one of the girls had a black spot the size of a soy bean on her right cheek. mole."
One of the two maids kneeling on the ground had a mole on his face.
"Have you seen what they have in their hands?" Mrs. Ren said with a cold face.
The Lu'an family rubbed their hands, shook their heads in embarrassment, and said, "It's a bag of autumn-scented satin, and it was carefully held in their arms. The slaves didn't see it, but only heard that the girl with the mole on her face told the other to move forward first. I went to help the old lady at the door. The servants heard that something was wrong, so they followed quietly. Later, when they saw that they had carried the burdens into the garden, the servants also heard them discuss that the masters were about to get up and hide things first. , wait until the morning when you are free to deal with it."
