At that time, she had just recovered from her illness and heard that the mother and sister-in-law of the two maids who were sold out of the mansion, Jin Ju and Ren Yaoyu, who were by Aunt Fang's side, had come to her and were asking people to help them take away the private money that the two maids had saved over the years. They also promised to give some commission to those who helped.
Unexpectedly, the two maids' private belongings had already been looted by the maids in the old lady's yard when they took the opportunity to search their residence, and not even a copper coin was left.
At that time, people in the mansion spread the rumor that the two maids around Ren Yaoyu were sold because they stole valuable things from the old lady's room. Nanny Zhu also lamented that she didn't know how many good things were hidden by those people in Ronghuayuan.
Jinju sneered and said that the two maids were not driven out of the house because they stole things, but because they put some dirty things in the old lady's room and violated the master's taboo.
Nanny Zhu was about to ask again when someone came in to report that Ren Yaohua was kicked out for angering the old lady.
At that time, she felt humiliated because she was slapped twice by Ren Yaohua, so she pretended to be sick and did not go out. When she heard the news, she was secretly happy.
Later, Nanny Zhu helped her find out that the reason why Ren Yaohua angered Old Madam Ren was because the Fifth Madam had revealed that she had framed Ren Yaoyu.
However, Ren Yaoyu was not rehabilitated because of this. Even after she left the Ren family, the old lady was always indifferent to her granddaughter.
Now that she thought about it, what she had overheard might not be untrue. Jin Ju, the maidservant of Concubine Fang, had a sister named Jin Lian, who was the top maidservant in Old Madam Ren's room.
However, this incident may not have been done by Ren Yaohua. It is very likely that Ren Yaohua was used as a pawn by someone.
Thinking about the only person who benefited from this incident...
Just as Ren Yaoqi was thinking this, Old Madam Ren spoke from above: "Go and ask the two maids outside to come in, and also call the old woman from before."
Aunt Gui, who was beside Old Madam Ren, quickly responded.
Not long after, the two maids who had been kneeling outside were brought in by four servants.
Perhaps because they had been kneeling outside for so long, the two maids were so cold that their faces turned blue and black, and they couldn't even stand up. As soon as the maids let go of them, they fell to the ground.
"When Nanny Gui asked you questions before, you refused. Now that you have been kneeling for such a long time, you must be more sober." Old Lady Ren looked at the two of them and said.
The Fifth Madam also scolded with a stern face, "Someone saw you sneaking out of Ronghua Courtyard this morning. Now, in front of the old lady, you should tell the truth. Don't let your Eighth Sister get blamed in the end. You know my temper. I can't tolerate servants who betray their masters! If you are stubborn and refuse to change your ways because the old lady is kind, I won't let you off easily once you leave Ronghua Courtyard!"
Lin's words were very righteous, but the two maids lowered their heads even more and their knees swayed unconsciously.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at the Fifth Madam. Could it be that Ren Yaoyu had actually done something to anger the old lady? Lin's words were clearly a subtle warning to the two maids to think carefully before speaking. If they dared to involve Ren Yaoyu, she would not let them off lightly.
Old Madam Ren raised her eyelids and glanced at Lin, then looked at the two maids: "I'll give you one more chance."
