"This... this was not made by my Yu'er!" Mrs. 5 widened her eyes and raised her head.
There was obvious disappointment in Mrs. Ren's eyes: "Did she do it, she admitted it herself, why do you justify her?"
"Grandma, it's really not me!" Ren Yaoyu said aggrievedly with tears on her face.
The old lady Ren didn't look at her, and she instructed Madam Gui with a stern face: "Lock up the eighth young lady to the ancestral hall, so arrogant and vicious at such a young age, is this okay?"
The fifth wife was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and pleaded, "Mother, it's so cold that there isn't even a heater in the ancestral hall. What should I do if Yu'er is cold and sick?"
"I asked her to think about it! I didn't want her to enjoy her happiness!" Mrs. Ren was unmoved.
The fifth wife wiped away her tears: "Mother, last time Yu'er fell ill and my grandmother was worried that she couldn't eat or sleep, and finally she sent the maid next to her to see it, so she was relieved. The daughter-in-law didn't feel bad for her suffering from this flesh and blood, but she didn't want to. The elders are worried."
The fifth wife's grandmother is the old lady Ren's aunt, and every time the fifth wife moves out of this grandmother, it will play a role.
Sure enough, although the old lady Ren still looked bad, she frowned.
Seeing this, Ren Yaohua sneered ironically, and was about to say a few words.
Standing next to her, Ren Yaoqi quickly pulled her clothes from behind.
Ren Yaohua turned his head in anger, and Ren Yaoqi gave her a wink and told her to calm down.
Originally Ren Yaohua didn't want to pay attention to her, but she saw the eldest lady suddenly said softly: "The fifth brother and sister are inappropriate. It is well known that Mrs. Lin loves her great-granddaughter, but our old lady has always been doting on the younger generation. There is a plus. Punishing Yuer today is just because of the painstaking efforts of the elders to hope that the younger generation will become a dragon, not deliberately embarrassing."
The old lady Ren looked better: "The eldest daughter-in-law still has a clear mind."
The fifth wife glanced at the eldest wife. Although Ren Jiaming was the eldest wife on the face of it, with the old lady's favor, she also held several real powers in the house. The eldest wife has a good temperament, she is always willing to let her, and she has always played the role of muddy when encountering things.
It's just that I don't know why today, I didn't speak for her.
The fifth lady was thinking about it when the eldest lady had walked quickly to her side and persuaded in a low voice, "The old lady is getting angry, you should take it easy first, and ask her to wait until the old lady's anger subsides, otherwise it will be easy. Self-defeating?"
Although she said this in a low voice, it could also be heard by the people around her. Not only did she persuade the fifth wife in public, but she seemed to favor her, but she did not make the old lady disgusted with her behavior.
Knowing that what she said was reasonable, Mrs. 5 reluctantly suppressed it, thinking of waiting for another idea.
Madam Gui asked her maid to help Ren Yaoyu, who was crying like rain, to go out.
Because the old lady Ren was in a bad mood, everyone also retired for the time being.
When Ren Yaoqi brought the maids back to Ziwei Courtyard, he saw Ren Yaohua standing under the porch of the east wing, as if he was looking at her side, and at the same time he was admiring the ice hook hanging upside down on the pomegranate tree in front of the door.
Ren Yaoqi paused for a while, but instead of walking towards the corridor connecting the West Wing, he turned towards the West Wing.
When she was about to walk to Ren Yaohua's side, Ren Yaohua turned her head and gave her a cold look: "Come in for me." He turned around and went to his room.
Ren Yaohua followed her in, and the two maids behind her glanced at each other and wanted to follow, but Ren Yaohua's maid Xiangqin stopped her.
"Did our third miss let you in?" Xiang Qin squinted at them, full of momentum.
The maidservants in the Ziwei courtyard are all ignorant of Miss San's greatness. The two maids shrank their necks and dared not stand under the corridor for a while.
Ren Yaohua's house is arranged in the same way as Ren Yaoqi's, but Ren Yaoqi rarely comes here, so it is still very unfamiliar.
Ren Yaohua went straight to her inner room, sat on the kang, and did not entertain Ren Yaoqi, but just looked at her with that kind of scrutiny.
Ren Yaoqi didn't care about her gaze and sat on the other side of the kang table by himself.
"Do you have someone in the outer courtyard?" Ren Yaoqi knew that Ren Yaohua was waiting for her to explain, but she didn't talk about it straight to the point, but asked an unrelated question first.
Ren Yaohua squinted slightly, his eyes sharp: "What do you mean?"
"If you don't want others to involve you in today's matter, then quickly send someone to check the Lu'an family that suddenly appeared, and the dog from before."
Ren Yaohua heard something in Ren Yaoqi's words, and Mei Feng frowned: "What does this matter have to do with me?"
"It's not related now, but it may be related soon. Some people don't want to let go of this good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. On the puppet, the old lady's character was not written by Ren Yaoyu at all." Ren Yaoqi was in no hurry. He spoke softly.
Ren Yaohua was stunned when she heard the words, she was a smart person after all, and after thinking about it carefully, she felt that this matter was indeed a bit strange.
She knows Ren Yaoyu's temperament. It is possible to make a curse to disgust her. She really doesn't have the courage to ask her to harm the old lady, although she often complains in private that the old lady is partial to her and Ren Yaoyin.
"The person Ren Yaoyu wants to harm is me, but the horoscope for the birth date was changed to a grandmother?" Ren Yaohua came to a conclusion.
Her sister is really smart, Ren Yaoqi smiled slightly.
"What if someone makes the old lady and the fifth lady misunderstand that you did this trick?"
Ren Yaohua stared at Ren Yaoqi for a while.
"With the temperament of the fifth wife, we are afraid that our Ziweiyuan will not have a good life in the future." Ren Yaoqi sighed.
The fifth wife, Mrs. Lin, eats everything, but does not suffer.
"Tulip!" Ren Yaohua called out to her maidservant.
A girl about the same age as Ren Yaohua walked in: "What's your order, Miss?"
Ren Yaohua said, "Have you contacted Ying'er and Zhu'er?"
Ying'er and Zhu'er were originally two big maids by their mother's side. When Ren Yaohua and Mrs. Li went to Zhuangzi, they were assigned to the servants in the outer courtyard by Concubine Fang.
Turnip nodded: "The slaves went to them the day before yesterday, and they were very happy to know that Madam and Miss came back."
Ren Yaohua nodded and was about to explain, but Ren Yaoqi suddenly interrupted: "There is no one else available except them?"
Ren Yaohua frowned: "They have been in Ziweiyuan for many years, and they are mother's confidants."
Ren Yaoqi did not refute, but said softly: "Yes, everyone knows that they are from Ziweiyuan, so it is not easy to use them casually. Let's change another one, and be careful."
Ren Yaohua watched Ren Yaoqi for a while, and then said to Wujing, "Didn't you recognize a godmother when you entered the mansion? I remember last time you said she was working in the pantry in the outer courtyard?"
Turnip nodded hurriedly: "Yes, miss, last year her son was sick and asked me and Xiangqin to borrow some silver taels from her. In the end, it was Mother Zhou who begged her to collect the money."
"Go and ask her about something." Ren Yaohua instructed Wujing carefully.
Ren Yaoqi waited for her to finish, added a few more words, and finally said: "I want to know the news before noon, let's go."
After the turnips wrote down one by one, they hurried away.
Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua had nothing else to talk about, so they went to Li's together.
Seeing the two of them coming together, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou were very happy. The two didn't say much, only accompanied Mrs. Li to say a few words.
Turnip came back before lunch at Ziweiyuan, and Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua called her to the East Room for questioning.
"Miss, the Liu'an family was originally in charge of the tea in the affairs department of the outer courtyard, and the servant's godmother happened to recognize her. I really made the fifth lady guess right. She really has something to do with our Ziweiyuan. She, even the owner of that big wolf dog has something to do with us!"
