Nanny Zhou was an old woman who had worked her way up the ranks in the backyard. After hearing these few words, she understood the seriousness of the matter, and her heart was filled with turmoil.
The maid Que'er was also shocked and angry, "She actually used our Ziwei Courtyard's errands to do favors and curry favor with other masters of the Ren family!"
Ren Yaoqi shook her head and glanced at Ren Yaohua.
Ren Yaohua pursed her lips tightly, giving her cold face a stubborn look, but her eyes were filled with rage.
"Of course, she can please the old lady and the people around the eldest lady by doing this, but her main purpose is not this."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi looked at Ren Yaohua and said, "Her target is my third sister and mother."
Ignoring the stunned looks from the others, Ren Yaoqi continued calmly, "She's calculated Third Sister's temperament. She knows you won't tolerate the people she sent to stay in Ziwei Courtyard, and will start cleaning up the inner courtyard as soon as you return. Actually, these people have nothing to do with her, and they won't bother her no matter where they're sent. She'll accept the favors she's given, but you've offended the people of the Old Madam, the First Madam, the Second Madam, and the Fifth Madam because of this."
Ren Yaohua was still the daughter of the Ren family, and Old Madam Ren always had some favor towards her, so she would always return to the Ren family. Aunt Fang understood this from the beginning, so she never thought of completely driving Ren Yaohua and Li out of the Ren family.
She was a concubine and could not be made the legal wife even if she gave birth to a son, so what she wanted was the control over the backyard of the third room.
Even if Li and Ren Yaohua returned to the Ren family, they would no longer be able to shake her position.
"This despicable and shameless vicious woman!" Xier cursed with gritted teeth.
Ren Yaohua gradually calmed down from her extreme anger, and said word by word in a cold tone: "Just wait and see, I will definitely make her pay!"
Ren Yaoqi calmly asked, "How are you going to make her look bad? Let her set the rules for her mother, and then take the opportunity to discipline her?"
Ren Yaohua raised his eyes and looked at Ren Yaoqi with a serious face.
Nanny Zhou was afraid the two sisters would start arguing again, so she hurried to smooth things over. "Third sister is thinking that since we've been gone for a year, the people in the Ren family only know about Concubine Fang and don't know about Madam, the real master. She wants to use the opportunity of setting rules for Concubine Fang to establish Madam's authority."
Ren Yaoqi didn't want to argue with Ren Yaohua, so he nodded: "The idea is not wrong, but the timing is wrong."
"Oh? What's wrong?" Ren Yaohua raised his eyebrows and said coldly.
Ren Yaoqi said seriously, "Didn't I ask Third Sister how to punish Concubine Fang? Before you left the house, you did punish her several times, but have you ever thought about why you were able to punish her, leaving her with no way to seek redress after being humiliated?"
Ren Yaohua remained silent, but Xier said, "Of course our Third Sister is more respected in front of the Old Madam than Concubine Fang! With the Old Madam's support, Concubine Fang naturally wouldn't dare to act presumptuously when she sees our Third Sister."
