Aunt Fang is actually a person who loves beauty very much. She also knows how to dress herself up. Although she may not be as beautiful as Li, her dress, charm and demeanor will make the maids in the mansion secretly imitate her.
Ren Yaohua glanced at Ren Yaoqi and Madam Zhou, then said, "Maybe I just don't have much compassion. Or maybe I'm just cold-hearted. I felt really relieved when I heard the news." Ren Yaohua had suffered countless hardships at the hands of Concubine Fang, both overtly and covertly. She hated Concubine Fang to the core, so she couldn't muster up even a shred of sympathy.
At this time, voices were heard outside the door.
Ren Yihong's voice rang out from outside the door: "Can I speak to the third and fifth sisters?"
Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua looked at each other, then Ren Yaohua frowned and motioned Wujing to open the door.
Ren Yihong was a man of few words and politeness. Seeing the door open, he didn't come in. Instead, he bowed to Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua, then asked, "Third sister, fifth sister, did father say when he would come?"
He waited in the study for a long time. Originally, he should have continued to wait obediently if his father did not come, but for some reason he always felt uneasy. He just heard the sound of maids and old women walking hurriedly outside, as if something had happened, so after thinking it over again and again, he decided to come over and ask.
Ren Yaoqi was suddenly speechless when he saw Ren Yihong. Although Ren Yihong was the son of Concubine Fang, he was different from Ren Yaoying. Concubine Fang had high expectations for Ren Yihong and never let him get involved in the affairs of the inner chambers. He was only allowed to study with his teacher, so Ren Yihong was a true nerd.
Although Ren Yaoqi really couldn't have any good feelings towards her younger brother because of Aunt Fang, she couldn't say bad things to him either. Even Ren Yaohua felt a little powerless when facing Ren Yihong, so most of the time she just ignored him.
Ren Yaohua never liked to dither, so she said directly and coldly, "Someone just came in to report that Aunt Fang had a conflict with the Fifth Madam and was slashed by the Fifth Madam with a dagger. Father may not come for a while, so if you want to go back, go first."
Ren Yihong was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly asked, "Is my aunt seriously injured?"
Nanny Zhou said, "The eldest lady has already sent the concubine back to Fangfei Courtyard and sent for a doctor. Her injuries... are not life-threatening."
Ren Yihong didn't notice that Nanny Zhou was deliberately avoiding the main point. He breathed a sigh of relief, then said hesitantly, "Then I, I'll..."
Ren Yaohua frowned: "If you want to leave, just leave. Why would a man be so hesitant?"
Ren Yihong blushed, bowed, and left.
Nanny Zhou looked at Ren Yihong's back and shook her head: "What a sin!" Then she said to Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua, "Madam Fang is from our third room. Madam is determined to go to Fangfei Courtyard. It's better for me to follow her. I'll take my leave now."
After Nanny Zhou left, Ren Yaohua glared at Ren Yaoqi and sneered, "What? Are you soft-hearted?"
Ren Yaoqi smiled bitterly and shook her head: "No, that's why I am also a cold-hearted person." Although it was beyond her expectation that Aunt Fang's face was scratched, she did not sympathize with Aunt Fang at all. Instead, she would be more wary of her.
This time, Concubine Fang had suffered a great loss at the hands of Lin. If she could survive, she would definitely seek revenge. And their covert actions would definitely attract Concubine Fang's attention, so neither of them would spare the other.
