Ma Li argued cunningly, "Even if that's the case, you can't sell Chun'er to a brothel! After all, Chun'er has served in your house for several years. Even if she hasn't done anything meritorious, she has worked hard. Your Third Young Miss is being incredibly cruel!"
Ma Li repeatedly emphasized that Chun'er was sold to a brothel and even implicated Ren Yaohua, clearly harboring ill intentions.
When Xiangqin heard her mention that dirty place in public, her face turned red and she became even more angry.
"Where did you hear that Chun'er was sold... sold to that place? That's absolute nonsense! Chun'er was handed over to a human trafficker by our housekeeper."
Ma Li persisted, "Of course I did ask around, and Chun'er was sold to a brothel! You little girl, are lying to us!"
Chun'er had already been sold off to who knows where, and there was no way she could be brought back. Ma Li knew this, so she insisted that Chun'er had been sold to a brothel. Her mission was to discredit Third Miss Ren, so she was crying wolf, accusing Xiangqin of lying.
Xiangqin had never seen such shameless and scoundrels before, and she was so angry that she almost gnashed her teeth. She wanted to ask the doorman to kick the Li family out, but she was afraid that they would give her more reason to accuse her of bullying.
At this time, Ren Yaoqi also rushed over. Seeing that Ren Yaohua was standing behind the screen wall with a cold face and did not go out, she couldn't help but feel relieved. When she walked to Ren Yaohua, she heard Ma Li's yelling outside.
Ren Yaohua turned around and glanced at Ren Yaoqi, sneering, "Is this what Concubine Fang is doing? Finding a shrew to smear my reputation? I don't think she's that good!"
Ren Yaoqi thought about it and shook her head, saying, "I don't think this is the work of Concubine Fang." Concubine Fang wouldn't confront Ren Yaohua so openly. She would only set a trap in secret, leaving you defenseless.
Ren Yaohua frowned, then said in understanding, "Then it must be that idiot Ren Yaoying!"
Ren Yaoqi thought it was not right to have people making such a commotion at the gate and making a fool of themselves, and was about to call the internal affairs officer who had already rushed over, when he saw Yu Ma, who was beside Concubine Fang, hurried over from the corridor.
Nanny Yu ran out of breath. She came forward to greet Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua, "Miss Third, Miss Fifth. Our aunt was so worried when she heard that the Li family had come to cause trouble that she sent me here to send them away. She said that this was all due to her own inconsiderateness. She has caused trouble for the family, and she will apologize to the old lady when she returns. You two ladies, you are so precious, it is best not to have anything to do with these petty people. I will send them away now, and I promise that I will not allow these people to cause trouble again."
Ren Yaohua sneered, "Oh? You're supposed to chase them away? I haven't done anything yet, and someone's already accused me of being ruthless and forcing my sister's maid into a desperate situation. Once you go out and 'explain' this, I wonder if someone will immediately accuse me of being cunning and domineering, even ordering the maidservant around my aunt around?"
Nanny Yu wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with a smile, "Miss Third is joking."
Ren Yaohua snorted lightly.
Ren Yaoqi tried to smooth things over, saying, "It wouldn't be nice to let them keep making such a fuss. Since Nanny Yu is here, I'll leave the people outside to you."
Nanny Yu hurriedly said, "Yes. I'll go right away." After that, she bowed and walked out around the screen wall.
