Ren Yaoqi just listened most of the time along the way, occasionally nodding or saying "hmm".
With someone talking, time passed faster, and soon the Ren family's carriage entered Baihe Town.
The carriages from the East and West Mansions had to enter through different gates, so they stopped at the street corner. The maid sent by Li's family said through the curtains, "Fifth sister, we've reached the gate. Madam wants you to get out."
Ren Yaoqi knew everything he wanted to know from Ren Yaoting, so he said goodbye readily.
Ren Yaoting blinked and said, "I'll tell you when I get the news from there." The joy of success naturally needs to be shared with someone. Ren Yaoting felt that this matter was most suitable for Ren Yaoqi so far.
Ren Yaoqi nodded: "Okay, then I wish Seventh Sister all her wishes come true."
Ren Yaoting blushed, and then she calmed down her heartbeat when she thought that Ren Yaoqi might just be casual and that what he said was not what she thought. At this time, Ren Yaoqi had already gotten out of the car.
Over there, a maidservant serving Ren Yaoting was called over by the nanny serving Su.
In front of Su, the nanny asked Ren Yaoting's maid: "What happened between my sister and the fifth sister from the West Mansion?"
The maid thought for a moment and said truthfully, "It started with the marriage of Young Master Su and the eldest young mistress of the Su family. Later, my sister lowered her voice and I couldn't hear clearly."
The nanny asked a few more questions and then sent the maid away.
"Madam, do you think what happened between my sister and my uncle that day was related to my fifth sister in the West Mansion?" the nanny asked softly.
Su, who had been sitting with her eyes closed, slowly opened them. "I just don't believe Ting'er could have thought of that. As for who told her... I don't know."
Su's eyes were as calm as an ancient well. "Ren Yaoqi from the third house... if she had such a brain, she wouldn't have been schemed against by a concubine before. It's very likely that she knew about it."
"Then could you be the concubine Fang who stretched her hands too far?" Seeing that Su didn't believe it was Ren Yaoqi, the nanny asked again.
This time, Su was silent for a long time. After a while, she said calmly, "It's not impossible. If she really used Ren Yaoqi to tell Ting'er about this, then her purpose must be to prevent Ren Yaohua from marrying into the Han family."
Upon hearing this, the nanny curled her lips in disdain: "She's just a concubine, what good will this do her?"
Su smiled faintly. "Although she's just a concubine, she's quite capable. Didn't you see that even my eldest sister-in-law never messes with her? A barefoot person isn't afraid of those wearing shoes. She dares to do what others might not. As for the benefits... If Li's daughter finds a capable in-law, she won't have the chance to take over the rights to the three inner chambers from Li. Given my uncle's personality, as long as the Ren and Han families have an engagement, he'll give Li some face."
