Ren Yaoqi was unaware and watched them leave.
Ren Yaoting's back disappeared at the gate of Ronghuayuan. Ren Yaoqi also walked slowly out of the courtyard. Before he walked out of the corridor, he saw Nanny Gui and Ren Yaoyu coming over. Behind them was the fifth wife Lin, who looked uneasy but pretended to be calm.
As Ren Yaoqi approached, he heard Lin's words to Ren Yaoyu: "...You must tell the old lady that you only gently pulled her to prevent her from blocking your way. She fell because she couldn't stand firmly. Don't take responsibility for something you didn't do!"
Lin didn't lower her voice, but instead deliberately raised it. As if that would convince others or herself. Ren Yaoyu kept her head down and said nothing, and no one knew what she was thinking. Nanny Gui and the maids and servants just looked down at the road, without any expression.
Several people looked up at the sound of footsteps. Seeing that it was Ren Yaoqi approaching, Nanny Gui knelt and bowed politely. Lin paused, not taking Ren Yaoqi seriously, and continued to instruct Ren Yaoyu. Ren Yaoyu seemed to be in a trance at the moment, not even looking up at the person approaching.
They passed each other by each other. Ren Yaoqi had no intention of going back to Ronghuayuan to listen to the news, and returned to Ziweiyuan on his own.
When Ren Yaoyu and Lin arrived at Old Lady Ren's room, before Old Lady Ren had time to question them, Lin began to help her daughter complain.
Looking at Lin's constantly opening and closing mouth, a trace of barely perceptible disgust flashed in Old Lady Ren's eyes.
Before Lin could finish, Old Madam Ren said coldly, "Did I ask you to come with me? Stand aside!"
Lin paused. In the past, her eyes would have turned red and she would have felt aggrieved. However, she had gradually gotten used to Old Madam Ren's harsh words towards her these days. If it weren't for her daughter today, she wouldn't have bumped into her and humiliated herself.
"I'm not senile yet. No matter what the truth is, even if she denies it, there were people who saw it! How can she deny it?" Old Mrs. Ren looked at Ren Yaoyu with a cold voice.
Lin endured it for a moment, then spoke out, "That depends on who you ask. I just heard what happened and asked the maids around Yu'er. It was Concubine Kang who deliberately blocked Yu'er's way. Yu'er was just trying to gently push her out of the way, but she lost her balance or... anyway, she just accidentally fell. As for the maids around Kang, who knows if they were instructed by someone to frame my daughter!"
Seeing that she was still trying to argue, Old Lady Ren snorted coldly, "Yao Ting was there at the time and saw it clearly. It was indeed this evil creature who hit the person!"
Lin no longer had the reserved demeanor she had when facing Old Madam Ren. She snapped back, "How can you trust Ren Yaoting's words? She just had a fight with Yu'er. It's not impossible that she's deliberately making up stories to falsely accuse someone."
So what Ren Yaoting had thought before was not wrong. Everyone in the Ren family knew what kind of person Lin was.
