The Fifth Madam turned to Old Madam Ren and wondered what she was thinking. The First Madam glanced at the Old Madam, then suddenly took the Fifth Madam and gently advised, "Since this woman dares to make such a claim, let her try. If she can't find the evidence, it will clear the two maids' names, and Yu'er's reputation will be saved. As for this lying woman... we'll give her a beating and sell her off. We'll see who dares to speak so carelessly in front of Old Madam in the future."
The Fifth Madam was still thinking when she heard this, but the old lady had already spoken: "Let her go! See what tricks she can come up with. Yu'er is my granddaughter, so I will naturally make the decision for her. No one should think of throwing dirty water on her maid!"
"Thank you very much, old lady." The Liu'an family was overjoyed. They kowtowed and expressed their gratitude before leaving.
"Shall I go and take a look?" asked Nanny Gui.
Old Mrs. Ren nodded and let her go.
About a quarter of an hour later, the people in the house heard a dog barking outside. From the sound, they knew it was a big one.
The elders in the room turned their heads curiously to look at the door curtain, but unfortunately, the curtain blocked their view and they couldn't see anything.
Only Ren Yaoyu had a look of great panic on her face. Although the Fifth Madam's face was not looking good either, she still held it back and winked at her daughter to let her stay calm.
After a while, Nanny Gui came in through the curtain. As the curtain opened and closed, the barking of the dog outside became more audible.
"Old lady, please ask these two maids to go out and let the dog sniff them."
The two maids turned pale when they heard this and subconsciously looked at the Fifth Madam.
Old Madam Ren nodded, and Nanny Gui winked at the two maids behind her, who quickly stepped forward to help the two maids.
Seeing that they were a little unsteady, Aunt Gui kindly comforted them, "Don't be afraid. Although the dog looks big, it won't bite."
The two maids screamed almost the moment they walked out of the main room. The people in the room were frightened and the old lady's hands, which were holding the lid of the bowl, trembled.
"What's going on!"
Nanny Gui hurried in and replied, "It's okay, it's okay, those two maids are brave. But it's better for the masters not to come out, so as not to disturb it. The dog's body is this long." Nanny Gui gestured with her arm, and it was as long as a six or seven-year-old child.
The eldest wife hurriedly ordered: "Arrange a few people to guard the door and don't let the dog in."
Nanny Gui responded and left.
The people in the house breathed a sigh of relief only when the barking of the dog outside faded away.
This time, Nanny Gui came back in less than a quarter of an hour.
When she came in, she was carrying a bag the color of autumn fragrance. Walking behind her were two maids who were supported by someone and looked as pale as death, and the Lu'an family who breathed a sigh of relief.
Eighth sister Ren Yaoyu's face turned pale and she grabbed her mother's skirt tightly. Fifth wife Lin immediately took her daughter's hand and glared at the two maids.
But the two maids were so frightened that they could not feel her gaze. ********
