He didn't take her threats seriously at all, and instead threatened her that if she didn't leave on her own, he would find a way to make her leave.
Regardless of his reasons for not breaking with Wen Saozi and her backers, Lin Kun truly wasn't afraid of them. The evidence Wen Saozi was using was merely speculation, but her connection to the Fang family was clear. If this were to be made public, Lin Kun wouldn't be the one to suffer.
After Wen left, she put down the account book in her hand, stretched out her right hand and gently pinched her eyebrows. But she looked absent-minded.
Although he wasn't afraid of Sister Wen's threats, her words reminded him of his own experiences over the years. He later found out that his grandfather and father's deaths were indeed accidents. His mother had indeed gone into premature labor after hearing the sudden news of his father's passing, unable to cope, and ultimately died from excessive blood loss.
He had his suspicions about his mother's death, but because many years had passed, he had not found any concrete evidence after years of investigation to prove that it was someone from the first wife who had deliberately murdered her.
As for his wife Ren Shijia, Lin Kun had complicated feelings.
Although he only began to suspect the Lin family's eldest wife after his wife had given birth several times, he didn't know if he would have used Ren Shijia to win the support of the Ren family if he had known about this earlier.
At least Sister Wen was right about one thing. Lin Kun married Ren Shijia because he had no other choice but to use the Ren family, which was related to Old Lady Lin.
After leaving Lin Kun's place, Sister Wen's face was very grim. Although Aunt Fang didn't blame her and instead promised to give her some money so she could return to Jiangning, what could she do after returning? Mrs. Fang had brought many confidants from her own family, and she would never truly trust someone like her who had come to her halfway. It was because she saw this that she took the initiative to come to Yanbei to help Aunt Fang.
As she hurried out of the path, Sister Wen nearly bumped into a group of people. Fortunately, a girl walking in front of her reacted very quickly and jumped out of the way.
Sister Wen was already in a bad mood and was about to ask questions, but when she saw the person behind the maid, her face froze. Then she quickly smiled, knelt down, bowed, and called out, "Fifth Sister."
Ren Yaoqi smiled as he watched Sister Wen's expression change instantly. He glanced at the path she had taken earlier and asked, "Where did Sister Wen come from?"
Mrs. Wen thought that the girl in front of her was just a young girl, and she felt a little relieved. She replied, "The madam previously instructed me to send a bowl of dessert to Mr. Lin Liu, who is in the study looking at the account books, at this time every day."
Ren Yaoqi retracted his gaze and nodded: "I heard that Sister Wen is going back to her hometown? The desserts you made are delicious, I like them very much. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to eat them in the future."
Sister Wen was known for her lively and cheerful personality. Upon hearing this, she smiled and said, "What would Fifth Sister like to eat? I'll go back and make some for her. I won't be leaving the Ren family for another two days, so I still have time to make some snacks."
Ren Yaoqi was very happy when she heard this: "That would be too hard for Sister-in-law Wen. If Auntie knew about this, she would probably laugh at me for being greedy."
"Fifth sister, what are you talking about? Our Sixth Madam loves you sisters the most. She must be so happy that you like to eat the snacks in her yard."
At this time, Mrs. Wen looked like a gentle and loyal servant, with no trace of the cold expression she had before.
Ren Yaoqi casually mentioned the names of two snacks. After Mrs. Wen wrote them down, she retreated respectfully.
After walking out of the corridor, Ren Yaoqi glanced back and saw that Sister Wen had already left from another fork in the road. Looking at the path she had taken earlier, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but think about it.
