It's just that Lin Shi didn't know that when people see you pleasing to the eye, everything you do is worthy of forgiveness. On the other hand, when people don't like you, your justification will only make people more disgusting.
In addition, Mrs. Ren has already determined that Ren Yaoyu, the granddaughter, is insane and sinister, so Lin's defense for her daughter can only have the opposite effect.
In the end, the old lady Ren couldn't bear it anymore, and she was furious, so she had Ren Yaoyu tied up to go to the ancestral hall to receive the family law.
Any family with a deep family background has family rules, and if there are family rules, there will inevitably be family laws. Although the family history of the Ren family is not too long, the facade that it should have had been established when the previous head of the family, Bao Ming, was alive.
The family method of the Ren family is no different from that of other big families in Yanbei. It is an iron wooden stick with the thickness of an adult wrist, a flat round shape, and a length of about four feet. It does not need to be painted or painted. This stick has been enshrined in the ancestral hall for many years like the ancestral tablet. Generally speaking, the deterrent significance is greater than the practical significance. horror meaning.
So when Ren Yaoyu heard that she was going to ask for the legendary family law, she was so frightened that her legs went weak on the spot. Looking at the solemn attitude of her grandmother, she even thought that her little life was about to be lost.
Lin's fear of family law is of course different from her daughter's fear of family law, but she also knows the seriousness of asking for family law. After all, the stick has never been used since the previous family head set the family law. She didn't want her daughter to be the first person in the Ren family to eat crabs.
So the Ronghua Institute started to make trouble again, until the fifth master Lin Shimao asked the master Ren to invite the old master Ren to come back after he got the news.
I have to say that people's hearts are biased. Aunt Kang's miscarriage caused the fifth master Ren to lose an heir. It would be a lie to say that he was not sad. But no matter how Ren Shimao promised Aunt Kang's tenderness and sweetness that he would not treat her and the child in her womb badly, at the critical moment, they were separated immediately.
Compared with the unborn child in Aunt Kang's belly, Fifth Master Ren is more worried about his eldest daughter. Although everyone said that Ren Yaoyu was the culprit of Aunt Kang's miscarriage, Ren Shimao was unwilling to speculate on himself and Lin's beloved daughter with malice. He unconditionally believed Lin's words, and Ren Yaoyu accidentally bumped into Aunt Kang.
After knowing about this, Mrs. Ren went back to the inner courtyard after thinking about it. Mrs. Ren was very dissatisfied with the Lin family recently because of Ren Shijia, so she put her anger on the Lin family. For whatever reason, he kept turning a blind eye, but the attitude of the Ren family he represented to the Lin family had not changed in any way.
Recently, the various families in Yanbei seem to be calm and peaceful, but many people feel that this kind of calm is like a river frozen in winter. The flood season will come as soon as the flowers bloom and the ice layer breaks.
Therefore, at a time when the situation was somewhat unpredictable, Mrs. Ren didn't want to really get into trouble with the Lin family.
However, Mrs. Ren never asked about the inner court, and it was not easy to overturn the decision of the old lady Ren to embarrass her, so after he returned to the inner court, he went straight to the study of Ronghua Court, no matter how Ren Shimao asked him Didn't really show up.
When Mrs. Ren received the news of Mrs. Ren's return, Ren Shijia sent her mother-in-law to come over to plead for Ren Yaoyu and Lin's. The care of mother and daughter.
The old lady Ren originally didn't want to take care of her daughter's pleas, but after learning that the old lady Ren was back, she changed her decision after thinking for a while, and ordered Ren Yaoyu to be temporarily locked in the ancestral hall, not allowed to visit, until today's affairs are clarified Then decide on the punishment.
Lin Shi was temporarily confined in his Liuliyuan because Ren Yaoyu had a big accident, and it was not possible that she was instructed by Lin Shi to do so, and Lin Shi was even seated.
Despite this, the Lin family members breathed a sigh of relief temporarily. The word "family law" is very scary because it is rarely used.
On the surface, the old lady Ren sold her daughter's favor, so that Mrs. Lin was grateful to the little sister-in-law Ren Shijia, but in fact it was a tacit understanding between the old lady Ren and Mrs. Ren. She knew that Mrs. Ren would not come back for no reason. Since she was invited back by her son, even though she didn't come to the main room to interfere in this matter, it hinted at what he meant.
I have to say that Mrs. Ren is actually a smart person. She immediately abandoned her likes and dislikes and firmly followed Mrs. Ren's will.
However, the choice of Fifth Master Ren at the critical moment loosened the attitude of Lin Shi, who originally hated her so much. When the Fifth Master Ren insisted on sending her back to Ziweiyuan, Lin did not refuse as firmly as before. Even later, when the maids of Liuliyuan were chatting gossip, they whispered that the fifth master Ren accompanied the fifth wife to the grounded main room, and was not driven out by the fifth wife. In the end, someone heard the fifth wife crying in the room and Ren The fifth master was careful and relieved.
In the end, the foot ban unexpectedly banned the feet of the husband and wife, but one was forced and the other was willing.
At this time, Concubine Kang was lying in the west wing of Liuliyuan, almost lost her life. It's just that the fifth master and fifth wife selectively ignored this matter at this time.
No one knew what kind of mood Aunt Kang was lying on the pear flower wood canopy bed in the west wing of Liuliyuan at this time, just like Aunt Kang had calculated everything by herself, but after all, she didn't have the ability to calculate the heart of a man.
On the Dongfu side, Ren Yaoting went to his mother's place first after returning.
As soon as he saw Su Shi, Ren Yaoting's eyes were red, and he couldn't let go when he hugged Su Shi. She was really frightened today, and she barely calmed down outside because she wanted to hold on to her face. When she saw her mother, she felt more and more wronged today.
Strictly speaking, Su's temperament is indifferent, and she can't be regarded as a loving mother, but that is also because of her own temperament. For her only daughter, Su's still loves her from the bottom of her heart.
Seeing Ren Yaoting like this, Su's posture was distressed, and she did not immediately ask her daughter what happened at the time. Instead, she patiently hugged Ren Yaoting and coaxed him for a long time, and then asked someone to bring the pre-pressing tea prepared before feeding it to Ren Yaoting and drinking it. Finally, he coaxed Ren Yaoting to rest on the soft collapse of his main room.
After comforting her daughter, Mrs Su motioned to pick up her daughter's confidant, Momo Yang, and took the two close-fitting maids who were serving Ren Yaoting today to the next room.
Su shi quietly listened to the two maids talking about today's affairs, her normally flat brows and eyes slightly frowned, and for no reason there was a hint of coldness and sternness. There are several unique charms, which are different from ordinary boudoir women. It's just that Su's expression is rarely shown in front of outsiders, and it can be seen that several people present are her confidants.
"Sister Kang passes through that garden at that hour of the day?" Mrs. Su's tone was flat, and her face had returned to its previous calmness.
Mammy Yang lowered her head and said, "My servant has inquired about it, and it is indeed the case. Not only that, but Miss Eight often comes back from visiting the garden at that time, so the two have met there several times, and quarrels are common. It's because Miss Seven was in a bad mood and deliberately humiliated and scolded Aunt Kang."
Su shi was thoughtful, then turned his gaze to the two maids who were standing beside him, and said softly, "Ting'er also knows that Ren Yaoyu often appears in the garden at that time?"
The two maids looked at each other, and the older one stood up and thought about it: "Miss, she didn't know, she didn't want to go to the garden near Liuliyuan with Miss Wu last time to flutter butterflies outside the garden near Liuliyuan, just happened to see Mrs. Kang and Miss Eight arguing. , I paid attention to it. Because it seemed that the quarrel between the Kang family and Miss Eight seemed to be more than that time, the lady also inquired about it. But the slave saw that the lady just asked a few words out of curiosity at that time, and didn't mention it after that. "
Su's brows were slightly raised: "But because Ting'er was angry with Ren Yaoyu in the Ronghua Courtyard today, she deliberately picked that time to go to the Liuli Courtyard to flutter the butterflies?"
"This..." The maid raised her eyes and glanced at Mrs Su when she heard the words, and said hesitantly, "The servant girl was indeed a little happy when she heard the quarrel between Miss Eight and Aunt Kang from the garden."
In fact, what Ren Yaoting said in front of Ren Yaoyu and Aunt Kang at that time was meant to fan the flames, fearing that the world would not be in chaos. However, Ren Yaoting did not explain the provocative words he said before in front of the old lady Ren. He only vaguely stated that he was going to persuade him.
Ren Yaoting rarely suffers losses in the Ren family, so she is very dissatisfied with Ren Yaoyu's run on her today. She knows that Ren Yaoyu will be punished if the conflict between Ren Yaoyu and Aunt Kang gets too big.
But if it was said that Ren Yaoting was thinking too viciously at that time, it would not be too much. She just wanted to see Ren Yaoyu being scolded by her elders. With some childish calculations, she did not expect that Ren Yaoyu would dare to do something to Aunt Kang.
So Ren Yaoting was frightened like this, in fact, because he was afraid that he was also responsible for this matter.
Although it's hard for the maid to say it directly, she had hinted at it when she explained the situation to the Su family before, and that's why the Su family asked this question.
How could the Su family not know her daughter, so she didn't ask Ren Yaoting directly, but asked a maid to ask. This will help her make a correct judgment.
After a long silence, the Su shi said softly: "I'm afraid this matter is not so simple."
Smart people are habitually overthinking.
