The eldest wife also understood this in her heart, which is why the old lady sent her to receive the people from the Lin family.
So after a few exchanges, Aunt Rong understood what the Ren family meant.
The Ren family wanted to let Kang come in. Thinking of her sister's temper, Aunt Rong could only sigh in her heart.
Old Mrs. Ren slept for more than two hours and woke up only after it had gotten dark.
Rong Mama stayed at the Ren family's house today. Not long after Old Madam Ren woke up, she went to Ronghua Courtyard to pay her respects.
This time, Nanny Rong met Old Madam Ren very smoothly, and Ren Shijia happened to be in Old Madam Ren's room.
Ren Shijia has been living in her parents' home for two months. At the beginning, the Lin family sent people to pick her up several times. Later, when they saw that Ren Shijia was determined not to go back, Mrs. Lin sent a nanny to visit her every few days and gave her some medicinal herbs and supplements.
Nanny Rong hurried forward to pay her respects to Old Madam Ren and Ren Shijia.
"I heard you were coming in the afternoon, and I happened to fall asleep. I just woke up and heard you, and was about to ask someone to bring you over, but Jiaer came to see me for something." Old Mrs. Ren leaned back on the kang and said to Nanny Rong in a kindly tone.
Rong Ma Ma said with concern, "When I arrived, I heard you were ill and was extremely worried. Old Madam, you must take care of your health first. You still have the blessing of this grandson to enjoy."
Old Mrs. Ren sighed, "What kind of happiness is this? My children's debts are all my children's debts. They are all here to collect debts. As long as none of them make me angry, I'll be satisfied."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Rong thought that Old Lady Ren might be referring to the Lin family's commotion, and was just thinking about how to respond when Old Lady Ren pointed at Ren Shijia and said, "I'm your age and already the head of the household. I have to take care of all the major matters in the Ren family. You've been married into the Lin family for so many years, but you haven't made any progress at all. You even ask me to take care of such a small matter. You're still inexperienced and lack experience!"
Only then did Rong Mama realize that Old Madam Ren was actually referring to Ren Shijia. She quickly chimed in, "Old Madam, you're wrongly accusing our Sixth Young Madam. Let me be fair, everyone in the Lin family praises the Sixth Young Madam whenever they see her. Our old lady treats her like the apple of her eye."
Mrs. Ren nodded when she heard this. "That's the truth. I spoiled her in her natal family, and after she married into the Lin family, she was treated like a girl by her husband's family. No wonder she hasn't made any progress! Tomorrow I'll have to ask your old lady to let you go!"
Upon hearing this, Rong Mama's heart moved, wondering what Old Lady Ren was hinting at. She couldn't help but look up at Old Lady Ren, only to see her still scolding Ren Shijia, saying, "You can choose any of those two maids. I think they're both good. It won't be unfair to my son-in-law. I'm still alive now. You can still set your sights on me. What will you do if I'm gone one day? I've told you so many times not to rely on the favor of your elders and become arrogant. You should make your own decisions..."
Old Madam Ren didn't give Ren Shijia any face when she lectured her in front of Aunt Rong. Ren Shijia just lowered her head and said nothing, seeming a little embarrassed.
When Old Madam Ren had almost finished her lecture, Aunt Rong, who was listening in astonishment, finally asked, "Did the old lady choose two maids for the Sixth Young Madam?"
Old Madam Ren said calmly, "You are not an outsider, and I don't mean to discriminate against you. Jia'er is looking for a maid for our son-in-law. Since she doesn't have anyone suitable around her, she has set her sights on her parents' family."
Aunt Rong was stunned. She looked at Ren Shijia again, finding it difficult to understand.
The Sixth Young Lady had been childless for so many years, and she hadn't even considered taking a concubine for the Sixth Young Master. Now that she was pregnant and about to give birth, why would she even think of finding a concubine for the Sixth Young Master? And even had to ask her own mother for help?
Aunt Rong hesitated to speak. She wanted to ask, but because of her status, she couldn't open her mouth.
