Old Mrs. Ren ignored him completely and just waved her hand to tell him to get out.

Before Fifth Master Ren left, Old Master Ren said calmly, "Since you're protecting Lin and don't want her to return to her parents' home, then accompany her in her punishment. Don't go to the capital for now. Stay in seclusion in the courtyard with Lin for three months to reflect on your mistakes. Everyone in Liuli Courtyard will have their monthly salary suspended for a year!"

Master Ren Wu frowned. He and Mrs. Lin had always been lavish with their money, and the Ren family always gave them money every year. Now that his monthly allowance had suddenly been suspended for a year, it meant he wouldn't be able to withdraw any money from the account office for the rest of the year.

Although Master Ren Wu felt that there might be some inconvenience in the future, he had never been short of money and thought it was just an inconvenience. He did not think that Master Ren was using this to teach him a lesson, so he did not say anything else. As long as Lin was not sent back to her parents' home, he would be relieved.

Old Madam Ren understood Old Master Ren's thoughts to some extent, and knew that without money, the five-room couple would probably have a hard time, and they might even have to use Lin's dowry. At her age, she certainly knew that many couples had fallen out over dowry.

However, Mrs. Ren still didn't say anything. She couldn't change Mr. Ren's decision.

After Master Ren Wu left, Old Master Ren sneered, "He's already disobeying his elders before his wings have even grown strong enough. Let him figure out who gave him everything he has today!"

As he stood up and walked out, he said coldly, "Don't let me find out that you secretly gave him money, otherwise you will be punished with them."

Old Mrs. Ren sighed, lowered her head and replied yes.

The matter between Concubine Fang and Mrs. Lin seemed to have come to an end with Concubine Fang recuperating and Mrs. Lin under house arrest. Although some rumors were circulated in the mansion afterwards, the masters of the Ren family all spoke with one voice and severely punished one or two servants who gossiped about it. After that, no one dared to mention it again because the parties involved did not show up.

The rumors about Ren Yaohua outside have no tendency to spread further because the people who spread the rumors have temporarily stopped. After all, rumors will become weaker if they are not supported by solid evidence. The masters of the Ren family are also very low-key and rarely go out.

However, when Old Lady Ren tried to arrange a marriage for Ren Yaohua, the families of equal status became embarrassed when they heard that it was the third daughter of the Ren family. Old Lady Ren was so angry that she called Ren Yaohua over and gave her a few beatings, and ordered her not to go out until the rumors outside died down.

A month later, an incident occurred that proved the rumors that were circulating in Baihe Town to be unfounded.

The brothel girl who was said to be the former maid of the Ren family and later silenced by Miss Ren San has returned intact. Not only did she return, but she also returned in glory.

It is said that this is another story that shocked the world and moved ghosts to tears.

It turns out that this prostitute had originally sold herself to a brothel to support her childhood fiancé's education, hoping he would one day pass the imperial examination. Unfortunately, he ultimately failed the imperial examination and disappeared. Later, disheartened, the prostitute was sold to Yanbei, where she suddenly learned from a patron that her fiancé was in Shunzhou and had already married a beautiful woman.
