Master Ren Wu's words made Old Master Ren frown, and his eyes looking at him became sharp.
In the Ren family, Old Master Ren always has the final say, and the descendants of the family all obey Old Master Ren, the head of the family, unconditionally. Old Master Ren Wu usually doesn't dare to refute his father's words, but today, Old Master Ren was refuted several times by his two sons, and it was just a trivial matter between two women, which made Old Master Ren very unhappy.
Facing Old Master Ren's gaze, Master Ren Wu subconsciously lowered his head, but immediately raised it up again, barely able to withstand his father's gaze.
Old Madam Ren had always been partial to her youngest son. Seeing things weren't going well, fearing a fallout between father and son, she immediately took the initiative to sternly rebuke the Fifth Master, "Shut up! You're becoming even more unruly! Fang is a vicious woman, but isn't Lin? How could someone just stab someone in the face without a knife? If we let her temper run its course, will she one day stab our elders when they don't do what she wants? You're still on her side, but I think you've been blinded by greed!"
Lin's methods today were indeed a bit extreme, so Master Ren Wu opened his mouth, but in the end he had nothing to say in rebuttal and just stood there motionless.
Old Madam Ren was angry. She looked at Old Master Ren's face, then drove him away with a cold face: "What are you doing here? It makes me upset just looking at you! Get out of here!" She didn't say anything about driving Lin back to her parents' home.
Old Master Ren snorted coldly and was about to speak when the head maid Jinlian lifted the curtain and came in.
Old Madam Ren quickly asked, "How's Fangzhiyuan doing? Is she seriously injured?"
"To answer the old lady, the doctor has examined Concubine Fang. The five cuts were all on her face, with no other vital parts injured." Jinlian's face paled as she recalled the tragic scene she had just witnessed on Concubine Fang's face in Fangzhi Courtyard. She gathered herself before continuing, "But those cuts were very deep, and the dagger wasn't clean. It's summer now... The doctor said it will take quite some time for the wounds to heal, and even after they do, the scars won't go away. Concubine Fang's face is... it's ruined..."
Old Madam Ren couldn't help but gasp when she heard this. "Is it really that serious?" She glared at Master Ren Wu, who was also a little stunned. "Look at this! Look at this! How ruthless is this!"
Master Ren Wu paused, then gritted his teeth and said, "Mother, this matter must not be spread out. Even if you don't care about Huijun, you should at least think about Jianer and Yuer. If others find out, the future marriages of the two children will be affected."
Old Madam Ren said angrily, "You still bring it up! If they didn't have such a clueless mother, would this have happened? I really regret letting you marry such a ridiculous person!"
Master Ren Wu wanted to retort, but Jin Lian said, "Master San just had someone tell Madam San that they should tell everyone that Concubine Fang accidentally fell on broken porcelain and scratched her face. They also said that after Concubine Fang recovers from her injury, she should rest in her own courtyard and not be allowed to go out."
Master Ren Wu was delighted to hear this, and then said to the old lady: "Third brother is right. Mother, you should also let eldest sister-in-law take good care of the people below. I will give the maids and servants in my yard a good lesson." Master Ren Wu felt that his third brother was worthy of being his brother.
Fortunately, the people in the garden at that time were all the maids and servants around Lin and Ren Yaoyu. Even though the others saw Lin running away in a panic with blood on her hands, they did not see her use the knife with their own eyes.
