At that time, Ren Shimao was having dinner with Kang. Originally, Kang was supposed to stand and serve, but Ren Shimao felt pity for her because she was pregnant, so he asked her to sit down as well.
Hearing the news that Lin had returned by herself, Ren Shimao was very happy. She was so happy that she couldn't help but feel relieved. She was so happy that she couldn't help but feel sad.
Ren Shimao thought about it and felt that what Kang said made some sense. After all, Lin had indeed returned on her own as she had expected. So Ren Shimao sat down again: "Then I'll listen to you and wait for her here." Ren Shimao said gratefully, "Li Niang, thank you very much this time. If you hadn't helped me find a solution, she would definitely still refuse to come back."
Kang smiled and rubbed her belly: "Li Niang also wants to see the master and the mistress get along well, so that my child and I can have a better life."
Ren Shimao looked at her still flat belly. He felt a little guilty. "Li Niang, although I can't give you that kind of love, I will take good care of you and the child. Huijun has always had a bad temper. You should be more tolerant of her in the future. If you really can't stand it, stay away from her, but don't provoke her."
Kang looked at Ren Shimao and quietly said "Okay".
Ren Shimao felt more and more that Kang was sensible and a rare good woman.
Ren Yaoqi had been focusing on the Fifth House's affairs for a while, and Ren Yaohua had also arranged for people to monitor Kang's every move. As a result, Ren Yaohua had more available personnel than Ren Yaoqi, many of whom were trained by Madam Zhou.
The rapid development of Kang's relationship with Ren Shimao has been a hot topic in the mansion. Those who had initially assumed that Concubine Kang had fallen out of favor upon entering the family suddenly felt the tide was turning. It turns out that the Fifth Master didn't dislike Concubine Kang, but rather that the Fifth Madam had previously stood in the way. Now that the Fifth Madam was away from the mansion, the Fifth Master had become more affectionate towards Concubine Kang.
Regarding these words, Ren Yaoqi asked Ren Yaohua to just watch and listen and not to get involved.
One day, as soon as the news of Lin's carriage's return came, Ren Yaohua came to find Ren Yaoqi and asked in surprise, "How did you guess that Fifth Aunt would be back in the next few days?"
Ren Yaoqi smiled and said, "Didn't you send someone to watch over there? Although Fifth Aunt went back to her parents' home, she still left people at the mansion. Originally, those people would only quietly go to Yunyang City every three days to report back, but these past few days, people have been coming and going every day. Fifth Aunt can't sit still at her parents' home anymore."
"What does Fifth Uncle mean? He's been very indifferent to Fifth Aunt's affairs these past few days, and only lets Aunt Kang accompany him every day."
Ren Yaohua was just a child after all, and couldn't understand the thoughts between these men and women.
Ren Yaoqi sympathized with Ren Yaohua's experience in her previous life, and recently he always gave her some advice and guidance when talking to her.
"This is exactly where Kang's brilliance lies. Didn't you see that? Originally, because she lived in a remote area, and because of the intentional or unintentional manipulation of the people left by the Fifth Madam, when she first arrived, she couldn't even order a maid around. She had to fetch the water for washing her face every day without saying a word. But now, those maids and servants no longer dare to look down on her. Why do you think so?"
Ren Yaohua thought for a moment and asked, "Is it because of Fifth Uncle's attitude?"
Ren Yaoqi nodded. "You and I have lived in this inner courtyard for so many years. How could we not understand the intrigues among the servants? For someone like Concubine Kang, who has no foundation and no backing, they treat her according to her circumstances. Let me assume that Concubine Kang is convinced by Uncle Wu and has allowed him to be intimate with her on purpose, just to show Aunt Wu. What benefits can she gain?"
"First of all, those servants who don't know the truth won't dare to look down on her or give her a hard time anymore. Secondly, Uncle Five will think she is considerate and look at her differently?" Ren Yaohua analyzed.
Ren Yaoqi nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, that's it."
