Ever since Concubine Fang disappeared and Fang Yacun lost her power, Old Lady Ren has been indifferent to Ren Yaoying. So this time when she sent someone to take Ren Yaoying back alone, not only Mrs. Li was surprised, but Ren Yaoying herself was also surprised.
Ren Yaoying had been ill for a long time since she was taught a lesson by Ren Yaohua last time. After she recovered, she became much more obedient. On weekdays, when she saw Ren Yaohua, she was like a mouse seeing a cat.
Nanny Zhou had some money slipped to the maids sent by Old Lady Ren to pick up the person, hoping to find out more. However, in the end, she only found out that Ren Yaohua was locked up in the ancestral hall by the old lady and forced to kneel, and she couldn't get any other information.
Both Madam Li and Madam Zhou were very worried. Madam Li specifically called Ren Yaoqi over and said, "Qi'er, why don't you go back with us? Hua'er is impulsive and I don't know how he angered the old lady. Seeing that the divorce date is not far away, I hope nothing bad happens to him."
Mrs. Li was worried about Ren Yaohua, but she knew that she could not solve any problems if she went back. However, her youngest daughter was steady and intelligent, and the two sisters had a good relationship now, so she wanted Ren Yaoqi to go back with her to see what was going on, so that the two sisters could discuss it if there was anything.
Looking at Li's worried expression, Ren Yaoqi immediately agreed, comforted her a few words, and then returned to Baihe Town with Ren Yaoying.
Because this time, Ren Yaoying was invited back by the old lady, so no one in the Ren family dared to look at her with disdain. Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaoying went to the old lady's Ronghuayuan together.
When Old Lady Ren saw Ren Yaoqi coming with her, she didn't say anything and her attitude was still quite kind. Ren Yaoqi didn't ask about Ren Yaohua as soon as he entered, and Old Lady Ren didn't mention Ren Yaohua either. Instead, after a few words, Old Lady Ren began to ask about Ren Yaoying's well-being, which made Ren Yaoying a little flattered.
"Madam, everyone has been arranged. Do you want to call them in now?" Shanhu, the head maid, walked up to Madam Ren and whispered.
Old Madam Ren took a sip of tea, her eyes lowered, her mind wandering. "Let them in." After a pause, she instructed, "Send someone to the ancestral hall and bring the Third Young Lady here as well."
Shanhu went downstairs. A moment later, she returned with eight unfamiliar maids. Ren Yaoqi examined them calmly. The eight maids were between fifteen and sixteen years old, all beautiful and graceful. Two were even exceptionally charming.
Ren Yaoqi frowned, then a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he lowered his head and didn't look at him again.
Ren Yaoying, noticing Old Madam Ren's good attitude towards her today, mustered up the courage to ask, "Grandma, is this the new maid in the mansion? She looks unfamiliar." Ren Yaoying knew that newly recruited maids were generally quite young, making them easier to train. These unfamiliar maids were already quite old. They would be sent out again in a few years. That was why she was curious.
Old Madam Ren was sizing up the maids. Upon hearing what she said, she just hummed a noncommittal "hmm". Ren Yaoying didn't dare to ask any more questions. She just kept her eyes on the maids' faces and listened to Old Madam Ren casually asking them questions.
Not long after, Ren Yaohua also came to rob the tomb.
Ren Yaoqi looked up and saw that although Ren Yaohua had been detained for two days, her face looked a little gloomy, but her expression was very calm. She glanced at Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaoying, then stepped forward to pay her respects to Old Madam Ren.
Old Madam Ren's attitude towards her was indifferent. She didn't ask her to sit next to her as usual. Instead, she waved to Ren Yaoying and said, "Ying'er, come here."
