Chapter 178 Yanbei Palace
Along the way, the maids and servants of the Lin family seemed to be breathing more cautiously, and their steps were as light as cats.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but be surprised. Could something have happened to the Lin family while she was away?
This question was answered after Ren Yaoqi went to Ren Shijia's yard and met Ren Shijia.
Ren Shijia was very happy that Ren Yaoqi returned home today. He handed the child to the maid, pulled Ren Yaoqi to sit on the kang, and asked about her well-being. Ren Yaoqi also handed the gift list given by Rong to Ren Shijia's nanny.
"Did something happen in the mansion?" Ren Yaoqi asked softly.
Ren Shijia seemed to be in a very good mood.
"My husband dealt with those people yesterday."
Ren Yaoqi was stunned: "Who are they?"
Ren Shijia's smile was tinged with sarcasm. "Who else? Aren't they just those wicked slaves who dared to harm my brother Cen? My husband found that medicine in a kitchen manager's room. He also implicated several maids and servants. They've all been beaten with a stick by my husband and are about to be sold off."
Ren Yaoqi was a little surprised. Was Lin Kun planning to break up with the eldest wife of the Lin family?
At this moment, there was a noise outside, mixed with a woman's crying.
Ren Shijia frowned slightly, with a complicated expression on his face.
"Aunt, your uncle is your servant, aunt, I am innocent..." The woman's voice became louder and louder, as if someone wanted to pull her away.
The word "auntie" made Ren Yaoqi stunned and she couldn't help but look at Ren Shijia.
Ren Shijia sighed, and finally said, "Let her in."
Not long after, a woman stumbled in and knelt down in front of Ren Shijia with a plop: "Auntie, I am innocent..."
When she raised her head with tears on her face, Ren Yaoqi recognized her as Qingliu, the maid that Old Madam Ren had prepared for her son-in-law.
There were some dirty tear marks on Qingliu's face and her hair was a little messy, but there were no injuries on her body. She moved very skillfully, so she probably hadn't been beaten.
"Qingliu, it's not that I don't trust you. It's just that the wet nurse's food did pass through your hands those days, and someone saw the kitchen steward give you some money. The maids who committed the crime were also close to you. When they confessed, they also accused you. Because you are the one my mother gave me, my husband showed mercy and didn't let you suffer. But I can no longer keep you by my side. You should go back to my mother."
"Aunt, you also said that I was given to you by the old lady. My whole family is in the old lady's care. How could I possibly betray you? I was wronged."
Ren Shijia hesitated when he heard this.
Qing Liu continued, "That group must be deliberately throwing dirty water on our Ren family in order to confuse the master. Aunt, please help me."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but look at this usually low-key, gentle and obedient maid. She didn't expect that at the critical moment, she would be so sharp-tongued. She even dared to drag the Ren family into this.
When personal behavior escalates to family behavior, it becomes really difficult to touch her.
Ren Shijia sighed, "Go down first and stop making trouble. I'll discuss this with my husband first."
Qingliu refused to leave and kept crying.
Chunlan, the maidservant beside Ren Shijia, frowned and lectured her, and finally had her dragged away.
