The Fifth Madam had always had a smooth life since she was born. Now she was tricked by a concubine she never even cared about. How could she swallow this?
She immediately ran to Ronghuayuan angrily to complain to Old Lady Ren. At that time, Old Lady Ren was having lunch with Aunt Xiao.
The Fifth Madam didn't care about that. She burst in and started crying, accusing Aunt Fang of scheming to help her daughter succeed and setting up Ren Yaoyu. In the end, she also scolded Aunt Xiao who was sitting quietly beside her.
Mrs. Ren's face immediately darkened. "How dare you! Who allowed you to act so recklessly? You've brought disgrace upon the entire Ren family! Get out of here!"
Lin had never seen Old Lady Ren speak so harshly to her before. She was stunned for a moment and then began to cry.
At this time, the eldest wife got the news and rushed over, pulling Lin aside to comfort her.
Aunt Xiao stood up and said goodbye with an embarrassed look on her face. The old lady was very annoyed at Lin's lack of tact, which made her lose face in front of outsiders. After saying a few polite words to persuade Aunt Xiao to stay, she winked at Aunt Gui and asked her to send Aunt Xiao out.
Aunt Gui understood what the old lady meant, and told the maid Jinlian to get the silver, then sent Aunt Xiao out with a smile on her face.
As soon as everyone left, Old Lady Ren exploded: "It's because I indulged you too much that you lost your temper! From today on, you must go to the ancestral hall and reflect on your mistakes with Yu'er! When you understand, come out!"
The Fifth Madam felt very aggrieved. The reason why she acted so presumptuously in front of Old Madam Ren was because Old Madam Ren treated her like her own daughter. Occasionally, when she acted willfully, Old Madam Ren would cover up for her in front of her sisters-in-law and younger generations.
Her mother, Mrs. Lin, had reminded her many times to be more careful, saying that no matter how good her mother-in-law was, she could not be her biological mother, and to be cautious in her husband's family. However, she never took it seriously.
"Mom, if that bitch Fang Yaru hadn't plotted against my Yu'er, why would I be so anxious?" The Fifth Madam's tone softened as she cried.
Old Madam Ren was so angry that she slammed the table and shouted, "What a bitch! Even if she didn't marry into our Ren family, she's still your cousin! You, Fang, framed Yu'er, but do you have any witnesses or physical evidence? Yu'er has already admitted that the doll was made by her!"
Mrs. Wu was speechless. She really couldn't produce any evidence.
But she had been dealing with Fang Yaru for over twenty years, and she knew her better than her elders. If Fang Yaru had no hand in this matter, she would never believe it.
Why did everyone else suffer while she benefited? This kind of plot had been repeated countless times in Fang Yaru's life. She rose to the top by constantly stepping on others.
"Have someone clear the table. I don't want to eat anymore!" Seeing that she didn't say anything, Mrs. Ren thought she was being unreasonable and became very angry.
Seeing that the vegetarian dishes on the table had basically not been touched, the eldest wife accompanied Xin and said a few words of advice.
The Fifth Madam on the other side said unwillingly, "Mother, I have no complaints about you locking me up in the ancestral hall. But Yu'er is weak, can you let her come back first? As for your evidence, I... I can't produce it for the time being, but I will send someone to my mother's house to ask her to send a powerful maid over. I don't believe that we can't find out whether anyone has tampered with that doll!"
Old Lady Ren's forehead veins jumped. "My eldest daughter-in-law! Lock her up in the ancestral hall! Anyone who dares to leave the house without my permission will be beaten to death if caught!"
