Ren Yaoqi and Li returned to Ziwei Courtyard. Not long after, someone came to report that the eldest wife was dealing with some cunning and slippery servants, and many maids and servants were going to be sold out by the eldest wife.
Fortunately, the people of Ziwei Courtyard stayed out of the Ren family's affairs, so the Li family members were not affected. It was easy to imagine who would be the real loser this time. The people in the mansion had a better understanding of the eldest wife's methods.
It was not until almost noon that the eldest lady had time to send someone to tell Li that the carriage and entourage for her trip were ready. The person who came was Nanny Gui, the housekeeper of the eldest lady. She was very polite and respectful, and did a great job of honoring her.
"Madam, it's getting late now. Madam, you can stay in the temple for one night and return home tomorrow. She will go to see the old lady."
Li hurriedly thanked the eldest lady again, asked Madam Zhou to send Madam Gui out, and rewarded her with a high-quality red envelope.
After returning home, Nanny Gui reported to the eldest wife. The eldest wife nodded and instructed, "Let Yan'er's wife make arrangements over there. You should go and keep an eye on those people and make sure they don't cause any more trouble before they leave the house."
Nanny Gui replied with a "yes" and said with a smile, "Over the years, Fifth Madam has always liked to interfere in everything. This time, Madam has dismissed all her people. When she 'recovers' from her illness, she won't be able to stir up any more trouble." Nanny Gui frowned again. "However, she has always been favored by the old lady. If she realizes it and goes to complain to the old lady, then..."
Upon hearing this, the eldest wife took a sip of tea without changing her expression and said calmly, "Since I married into the Ren family, I have never done anything that goes against the wishes of the elders, and this time is no exception."
Nanny Gui pondered over the eldest wife's words carefully. Could it be that the eldest wife driving out the fifth wife's people was also in line with the old lady's wishes?
In Ziwei Courtyard, Li took Ren Yaoqi out for a ride.
Ren Yaohua wasn't particularly interested in going to the White Dragon Temple. She hadn't encountered anything good the last time she went there. Li didn't force her to go, but simply gave her a detailed explanation before letting her stay.
Ren Yaoqi's purpose of going to Bailong Temple this time was not simple, and she didn't want too many people around.
Because Madam Zhou was going with Li, Ren Yaoqi suggested that the new Madam Xu stay and take care of the yard. Li and Madam Zhou had no objection, so Madam Xu did not go with Ren Yaoqi this time.
Before leaving, Ren Yaoqi asked Pingguo to go to the outer courtyard and tell the shopkeeper Yuan about his request to Bailong Temple, and asked him to tell Yuan Dayong,
After learning about this, Yuan Dayong followed the Ren family's carriage and went to Bailong Temple together.
More than an hour later, the Ren family's carriage successfully entered the gate of Bailong Temple.
When getting off the carriage, Ren Yaoqi once again saw the scenery of Bailong Temple, which was not unfamiliar to him.
There are still many pilgrims, just like usual.
Ren Yaoqi was wondering, she had already arrived, but how to contact that person?
Although she felt that her guess was almost right, what if she was wrong?
Is Zhu Ruomei really here?
"Go and donate some money for me and ask the abbot if he's free today. I want to take Qi'er to see him," Li whispered to Madam Zhou.
