Ren Yaoqi and Old Lady Ren exchanged a glance, then smiled slightly: "I understand, Grandma."

Is she literate? It turns out Old Madam Ren sent Maidong's family to Yunyang City to monitor her interactions with the princess!

Only then was Mrs. Ren satisfied. She waved her hand and said, "Alright, all of you go back. Those from the Maidong family stay. I have some things to tell you."

Li took Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua and retreated.

As soon as they left Ronghua Courtyard, Ren Yaohua's expression turned cold. "We shouldn't have agreed to this offer just now! I don't know who that Maidong family member is, so why would he be in charge of our inner courtyard?"

Li sighed and said, "There's nothing we can do about it." If the elders want to assign someone to you, you have no choice but to accept the task happily.

Ren Yaohua also understood this, so she couldn't say no just now. However, she was still full of anger in her heart and cursed in a low voice: "That bitch Fang always makes us feel uncomfortable when she doesn't cause trouble!"

Ren Yaoqi comforted her, "Alright, she's just a daughter-in-law. Is it worth getting so angry about her? No matter how powerful she is, she's just a servant. If she keeps to her duties, it's fine. But if she doesn't..."

Ren Yaoqi smiled. Did Old Lady Ren really think that she could control the Third House by sending just one of her people? This was the only trick she could resort to.

Nothing happened that night, and the next day Li took her two daughters back to Yunyang City.

Ren Shimin had left two days ago because he was going to the academy, and Ren Yihong also left before him.

After returning to their residence in Yunyang City, both Li and Ren Yaoqi felt relaxed and comfortable, even though the house in Yunyang City was not even half the size of the Ren family's old house.

On the day after returning home, while Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua were in Li's room, Nanny Zhou asked about how to settle the Maidong family.

Ren Yaoqi thought for a moment and said, "She'll be arranged to stay at the stewards' residence. Didn't Grandmother ask her to help Mother manage the inner courtyard? She'll be in charge of the treasury, and I'll hand over the account books to her later."

"Is this... appropriate?" Li said hesitantly.

Although there are quite a few things in the warehouse of the third house because Mr. Ren San has a wide range of interests, most of which are quite valuable, but managing a warehouse is not as glorious as managing personnel.

"What's wrong with that? Didn't grandma say she is very capable? Then she can show us what she can do! Otherwise, she is a newcomer and wants to take charge of everything. Does she have that ability?" Ren Yaohua snorted coldly.

Ren Yaoqi made such arrangements in order to find out more about Mai Dong's family background and know what kind of person she is so that he could deal with her better.
