The last time when Nanny Zhou was teaching Ren Yaohua about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the eldest lady knew clearly that the eldest young lady's wife had handled the matter poorly, but she did not stop her in time. Instead, she let her make mistakes, hoping to take this opportunity to control her daughter-in-law.
Now the eldest wife really stood up to protect Zhao before things got out of control and the old lady got angry. Judging from Zhao's expression, she must be really grateful to the eldest wife.
Nanny Zhou was right.
However, after seeing this today, Ren Yaoqi had to admire the eldest wife's good methods.
Those who dared to disobey the eldest young lady were definitely not the eldest wife's people, but most likely the fifth wife Lin's people. The eldest wife's move not only won the heart of her daughter-in-law, but also took the opportunity to deal with the Lin family's people.
Although the eldest wife had always been the head of the household for many years, Fifth Wife Lin, relying on the old lady's favor, often fought for the eldest wife's power. The eldest wife always gave in to Lin and also let Lin manage several important expenses of the mansion according to the old lady's wishes.
However, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. The eldest wife's magnanimity on the surface does not mean that she really has no resentment in her heart.
Now that Lin has fallen out of favor with the old lady, if the first lady doesn't take action now, when will she?
Seeing the eldest wife standing respectfully beside the old lady and answering gently, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but smile. This aunt hadn't been in vain all these years.
After the eldest wife finished her reply, the old lady came to ask Li and Ren Yaoqi who had been standing nearby: "What do you want?"
Li stepped forward and told Ren Yaoqi that she wanted to take him to Baiyun Temple.
The old lady glanced at Ren Yaoqi and said, "It's just a nightmare. Why should you be so surprised? Didn't she go to Baiyun Temple a while ago? I'm afraid your sister-in-law and niece's wife are too busy today. If you really want to go, you can wait for two days."
Li opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Zhao said quickly, "It's okay, it's okay. We're just preparing the carriage and the attendants. We won't be too busy."
Zhao had just suffered a setback at the hands of the servants, and she really didn't want to offend the people from the third house over such a small matter.
The eldest wife also helped to speak up: "It's not too late to go today, but it will take some time to arrange for the carriage and the staff. I'm afraid my third brother and sister-in-law will have to wait for a while."
The old lady glanced at the eldest wife and the eldest young lady's wife and snorted, "Okay, you all have to be good people, and I am the unreasonable bad guy!"
Upon hearing this, the eldest wife smiled and said, "Mother, what are you talking about? First, you are worried that your daughter-in-law is too busy, and second, you are afraid that your third sister-in-law and the others will be wronged. Are you still an unreasonable bad person? Then there are no reasonable elders in this world. Third sister-in-law, are you right?" The eldest wife winked at Li.
Mrs. Li hurriedly said, "Yes, mother. I know you mean well."
The old lady's expression became more cheerful. "If you must go today, then go."
Li and Ren Yaoqi hurriedly bowed their heads to express their gratitude.
After retreating with the first wife and the others, Li thanked the first wife and Zhao.
The eldest wife smiled and said, "We are all family, Third Sister-in-law is very polite. But today I really have a lot of things to do, I am afraid I will not be able to go out until later."
"It's okay, we'll just wait." Li said politely.
