Ren Yaoqi gritted his teeth and endured the smell of paint on Ren Shimin's hands.
Sun Shiyi Niang returned a short while later. Ren Shimin had already returned to his painting.
Ren Yaoqi smiled and said to Sun Shiyi Niang, "Shopkeeper Sun, I heard that you wanted to reunite with your husband's daughter and her family?"
Sun Shiyi Niang glanced at Ren Shimin. Ren Shimin was concentrating on the painting and didn't pay any attention to this side. He said that he would leave it to Ren Yaoqi and he really became a hands-off boss.
Ren Yaoqi noticed her expression and slightly suppressed the smile on his face: "Manager Sun, thank you for your hard work these days. However, it is really difficult for us to make such a request to our employer."
Sun Shiyi Niang couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Ren Yaoqi smiled again, looked at her and said, "But I'll help you this time. When you leave the Ren family, I'll give you fifty taels of silver. This amount of money is enough for you and your husband to open a small shop in Yanzhou."
What can you do with fifty taels of silver? You can't even buy a shop.
Sun Shiyi frowned and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Fifth. If it's really inconvenient, then forget it."
Ren Yaoqi nodded readily. "Then Shopkeeper Sun, if you need anything, just come to me. But I need to remind Shopkeeper Sun that my father never asks about the Ren family's external businesses or trivial matters, so it's extremely inappropriate for you to ask him for help. I hope this is the last time. From now on, if you need anything, you can come to me or my mother. Shopkeeper Sun may not know that our family has many rules and there are differences between men and women. It would be bad if people spread gossip."
If Sun Shiyi Niang didn't realize at this moment that she was being taught a lesson and despised by a little girl, she would have lived so many years in vain. However, Ren Yaoqi spoke with a smile and was very kind, which made people feel that they were being unreasonable even if they wanted to get angry.
Sun Shiyi Niang suppressed her anger and said, "I understand now. Thank you for your guidance, Miss Fifth."
Ren Yaoqi nodded: "Very good, I knew that Manager Sun was a smart man."
Ren Yaoqi called over the maidservant she had asked Madam Zhou to send over to serve Sun Shiyi Niang, and instructed her in front of Sun Shiyi Niang, "Before Shopkeeper Sun leaves the Ren family, you must serve me well. If she needs anything, please let me know, or you can ask someone to tell Madam Zhou. If Shopkeeper Sun finds the wrong person, you will have to go to Madam Zhou to receive your punishment."
The maid glanced at Sun Shiyi Niang with some resentment. Who knew that Shopkeeper Sun would take advantage of her diarrhea to go to the toilet to talk to the Third Master, causing her to be scolded by the Fifth Miss? The maid secretly swore that even if she had diarrhea in the future, she would have someone she trusted watch over her!
Sun Shiyi Niang was angry but dared not say anything, so she could only say that she was not feeling well and left.
Master Ren San never mentioned Sun Shiyi Niang again.
After Ren Yaoqi returned to Ziwei Courtyard, Aunt Xu came over on her own initiative.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at her with a smile: "Madam Xu, is there something wrong?"
Madam Xu lowered her head and said, "Yes, Miss, I came to tell you about Madam Sun."
Ren Yaoqi raised her eyebrows and waited for Aunt Xu's next words.
Madam Xu pondered for a moment and said, "I once owed Madam Sun's husband a great favor. My son contracted a strange illness and remained ill for several days without recovery. Luckily, I met an old doctor who prescribed an ancient remedy. Unfortunately, one of the herbs used as a guide was uncommon. I searched all the pharmacies in Yanzhou but couldn't find it. Then I ran into Madam Sun's husband, who was on his way to pick up the medicine and said he would help me find it."
