However, the situation this time was special. Old Madam Ren wanted to understand the attitude of the Yanbei Palace, so she thought of taking a look at the letter written by the princess to Ren Yaoqi.
The old woman who didn't want to be sent quietly shook her head at Old Lady Ren.
It turned out that the old woman waited for Ren Yaoqi to get on the carriage first and then went back, using the excuse that the fifth lady had left something in the study and wanted to go and get it for her.
Ren Yaoqi left with her head maid, and Aunt Xu went to the backyard. There were only a few second- and third-class maids in the study. Ren Yaoqi had never issued any restrictions on her study on weekdays. The head maids and the second-class maids who cleaned and served in the study had all been in the study. Ren Yaoqi had not deliberately hidden anything, so the maids did not think there was anything wrong with this old woman.
The old woman searched through all the drawers and cabinets in the study for a long time but couldn't find any letter. When she found a locked small drawer under the desk and wanted to pry it open with her hairpin, Ren Yaohua came in with her men.
Ren Yaohua got angry when she saw the old woman's behavior. She said that she was here to steal and wanted to drag her away and beat her with a stick. In the end, the old woman had no choice but to say that she was sent by Old Madam Ren to find something.
Ren Yaohua would not let her go easily, and forced her to tell what it was. The old woman knew how powerful Ren Yaohua was, so she had no choice but to confess.
But in the end, the old woman was driven out by Ren Yaohua.
Ren Yaohua's original words were: "I don't believe that Grandma would let you do such a shameful thing in secret! If there really was a reason, wouldn't Grandma ask Fifth Sister directly for it? If it was really a matter of great importance, would Fifth Sister refuse to give it to you? I think you are here to steal things! But you are a servant in my Grandma's yard. I won't punish you. Go back to my Grandma and accept the punishment!"
The old woman returned alone and was unable to resist the people who were called by Ren Yaohua to hold her. In the end, she could only catch up with Ren Yaoqi's carriage and come back to report to Old Lady Ren.
When Mrs. Ren saw the old woman shaking her head, she frowned and motioned her maid Shanhu to go over and ask what was going on.
While Ren Yaoqi was in the carriage, she had already received a secret message from Ren Yaohua, and she knew that Old Lady Ren wanted to steal back the letters between her and Xiao Jinglin but failed.
To be honest, she and Xiao Jinglin never mentioned anything about the Ren family in their daily correspondence, but there were some things in the letter that Ren Yaoqi didn't want to reveal to others.
However, she still pretended to know nothing and replied in a low voice: "I received a letter from the princess a few days ago. I also sent a reply to the Yanbei Palace. In the letter, the princess talked about some interesting things she experienced in Jiajing Pass and said that she would be back in two months. There was nothing else."
After Shanhu found out what was going on with the old woman, she came forward and told the old lady that she had not received the letter from Ren Yaoqi and the princess. Old Lady Ren was a little unhappy and secretly blamed Ren Yaohua for being spoiled by her and acting arbitrarily.
But at this point, Old Lady Ren couldn't say anything more. She could only put the matter aside for the time being and asked, "Did the princess really not mention anything about our family in the letter?"
Ren Yaoqi looked puzzled: "What's going on in our family?"
Old Madam Ren gently coaxed, "Did you say that the palace is dissatisfied with the Ren family in any way?"
