Old Madam Ren couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Kang, then pointed to the guest seat beside her and said calmly, "Sit down."
Mrs. Kang sat down happily.
"As you said, the child is gone. Who else are the Liu family coming to ask for?"
Previously, Mrs. Kang's son, the Liu family's only child, had looked down on Kang's birth and was unwilling to marry her. Now he was in a hurry to ask for her because the Liu family's only child was unable to have children, so he thought of the pregnant Kang.
Although Mrs. Ren did not completely believe what Mrs. Kang said, she could not help but have doubts about the child in Mrs. Kang's belly.
The reason they allowed Concubine Kang into the mansion wasn't just because she was pregnant, but also because Old Madam Ren wanted to find someone to annoy the Fifth Madam. Concubine Kang arrived just in time. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for her to enter the Ren family.
Mrs. Kang spoke frankly, "When the Liu family heard the child was gone, they initially thought we were lying to them. But after believing it, they came to seek justice from the Ren family. As for that uncle Liu, the child in Wang's sister-in-law's belly was most likely the only heir left in the Liu family, but it's gone..." Mrs. Kang glanced at Old Lady Ren, "The woman saw that they were unwilling to accept the loss, so she came here to pick a fight. That's why I tried to persuade that uncle Liu to stay."
Old Lady Ren sneered at this, thinking that the Liu family might be taking advantage of the situation to blackmail her. The Liu family was unknown. Although Mrs. Kang was a wealthy family in Jizhou, Old Lady Ren was well aware of the large families in Yanbei. In her eyes, the Liu family was just a poor family that was not worthy of being on the stage. She didn't really take it seriously.
But Mrs. Kang was right. This matter really couldn't be made a big deal, otherwise the Ren family would lose face. Her son, the fifth master Ren Shimao, would also be too embarrassed to go out and see people.
While Old Lady Ren was secretly thinking of a countermeasure, there was a commotion outside.
"Madam, Aunt Kang wants to see you." The maid guarding the door reported through the curtain.
Mrs. Kang glanced at the brick subconsciously, and curled her lips slightly, as if she was a little disdainful.
Old Madam Ren now felt a little annoyed when she heard Aunt Kang's name, but after thinking about it, she ordered someone to come in.
Concubine Kang was supported in, with a white bandage on her forehead. Her face was pale and bloodless, and her face was only the size of a palm. She looked pitiful. Although she came from a poor family and was not particularly beautiful, to be fair, Concubine Kang was still a good person.
As soon as Aunt Kang came in, she glanced at Mrs. Kang's face, and hatred flashed in her eyes. Then she broke free from the support of the maid, staggered to the front of Old Madam Ren and knelt down. She knelt right next to the tea bowl that Old Madam Ren had dropped before. I don't know if there were any broken porcelain pieces under her knees.
Old Madam Ren didn't even look at Aunt Kang, and Aunt Kang bit her lip and kowtowed to the old lady.
Mrs. Kang watched coldly from the side, now revealing a mocking smile: "How dare you come here? If I were you, I would have already pulled off my own belt and hang myself on the beam. You have brought disgrace to the Kang family."
