Scheme of the Official Descendant

Although Ren Yaoqi broke away from the fetters of her family in her previous lifetime, as she erroneously believed in her blood-relatives’ speech and views about sacrificing everything for the family’...

Chapter 109: So That's It (1/5)

Ren Yaoqi asked the maids to go down, and Ren Yaohua called Wujing and asked her to pay attention to the movements of Mrs. Wen.

After everyone went down, Ren Yaoqi shared some of his guesses with Ren Yaohua.

"What exactly do they want to do?" Ren Yaohua said with a cold face.

Ren Yaoqi thought about it and shook his head: "We can only wait and see."

Based on these superficial clues, she could only guess that there was something fishy about the cook named Wen. It was very likely that Concubine Fang had her family arrange for her to come here in order to frame the Lin family. Now that the Lin family was completely powerless, Ren Yaoqi really couldn't guess what purpose Concubine Fang was trying to achieve by using that cook.

But now at least I have some clues, which is much better than being completely in the dark.

The two sisters were still speculating about Mrs. Wen, but what they didn't expect was that two days later they heard Mrs. Wen ask Ren Shijia to let them go back to Jiangnan.

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Aunt Fang had worked so hard to arrange people to go to the Lin family, just for the purpose of defeating the Lin family?

This day was the third day of Ren Shijia's baby's bath. Because Ren Shijia was in confinement at her mother's home, the baby's bath was also held at her mother's home.

Early that morning, Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua followed Li to Ren Shijia's Xiangnuan Pavilion.

Ren Shijia was in good spirits. When Ren Yaoqi went in to see her, she was leaning against the head of the bed, holding her sleeping child in her arms. Her whole body was filled with joy and happiness, and she looked like she was content with having a son.

Seeing that Li brought Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua to see her, she took the initiative to hand the child to Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua for them to hold. Seeing that Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua both looked at a loss, she giggled.

Mrs. Li said, "Let the wet nurse hold the baby. How can they hold a baby? They need to be careful not to bump or hurt the baby."

Ren Shijia curled her lips and complained to Li, "Don't let his father hear this. Yesterday, Yu'er came to see the child and wanted to hold him, but I was worried that the child would get hurt, so I didn't agree. So his father scolded me. A son needs to be raised roughly. If I protect him like this, he won't amount to anything when he grows up."

Although the tone was complaining, everyone present could hear the coquettishness in it. Ren Shijia and her son-in-law Lin Kun had always had a very good relationship.

Mrs. Li just looked at her and smiled.

Ren Shijia, however, looked at the child in her arms. Suddenly, she sighed, "I don't expect him to achieve anything great. I just hope he grows up safely, gets married, has children, and inherits the Lin family's second branch."

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Li knew she was probably thinking about the children she had lost, and she couldn't help but sigh. Ren Shijia was a rare member of the Ren family who treated her so well, so she also had a good impression of Ren Shijia. She sincerely comforted her, saying, "You've suffered so much, and now you must be finally enjoying happiness. Don't worry. The child will definitely talk about Kang Kang when he grows up."

Ren Shijia couldn't help but smile when she heard that. She looked at Li and said, "So everyone thinks I'm lucky. I've been enjoying a good life since I married into the Lin family. Only you, sister-in-law, think I've suffered... Only you, sister-in-law, understand my difficulties." Although Ren Shijia was smiling, her eyes were red.

Mrs. Li said hurriedly, "Look at me, why are you getting so upset about all this? Women in confinement shouldn't cry."

Ren Yaoqi leaned over to look at the child in the nurse's arms. He was sound asleep, biting his thumb. His face looked much better than when he was only two days old. She deliberately muttered, "My uncle and cousin will be able to open their eyes and look at us in a few days. It's already the third day, and he's still sleeping so soundly."

Ren Shijia heard it from the other side. He couldn't help laughing: "Your uncle didn't lie to you. He can open his eyes. He just finished feeding and is sleeping."

Li glared at Ren Yaoqi and scolded him softly, "You have no manners."

Ren Shijia's mood brightened, and he said to Li, "It's not that Yaoqi is unruly. My husband has always been kind to children. When he was at the Lin family, his nephews and nieces loved calling him "Sixth Uncle" and always came to him whenever they had any problems."
