Ren Yaoqi received the news that Aunt Fang's maid had gone to the outer courtyard.
Ren Yaohua frowned and said, "Why send people to the outer courtyard? Sixth brother is in Ziwei Courtyard, and father is in Ronghua Courtyard..."
Ren Yaoqi was also thinking about this problem. Aunt Fang must have realized by now that it would be difficult for her to escape unscathed this time, so she had to find a way to protect herself.
So what else can she do?
Ren Yaoqi quickly reviewed all the members of the Ren family and their various relationships, and suddenly something occurred to him.
Madam Zhou asked, "Fifth Miss, do you want me to send someone to stop that little maid? No matter what she does, as long as we control her people, we'll see how she can cause more trouble!"
Ren Yaohua also nodded and said, "That's right. No matter what she wants to do, just make sure she can't do it."
Ren Yaoqi shook his head. "We can say that stopping Sixth Brother was because of what Mother and Father had told us beforehand. But if we stop her people, Grandpa and Grandma will definitely know that we were the ones behind this."
But this is not the point. The point is that Ren Yaoqi thought of what bargaining chips Fang Yi Niang might have in her hands, and this bargaining chip could save her life at a critical moment, so Fang Yi Niang should be looking for someone who can make the decision in the Ren family. Even if someone stopped Fang Yi Niang, as long as she still had the bargaining chips in her hand, she would not be afraid of not being able to see anyone.
No one in the Ren family knows the character of the elders better than Ren Yaoqi.
But what leverage could Concubine Fang have? No matter how clever and cunning she was, she was still just a concubine. If she had leverage, it must be related to the Fang family, or in other words, it must be leverage in Fang Cun's hands.
Ren Yaoqi thought carefully about her past life. It was a pity that she hadn't paid much attention to the Ren family's affairs when she was there. Moreover, so many years had passed, and what she could think of was really limited.
Ren Yaohua said, "If we can't kill Concubine Fang this time, then it will be difficult to completely destroy her in the future. Fang Cun is currently experiencing a setback in the officialdom. She has no one to rely on..."
Unexpectedly, Ren Yaohua's words reminded Ren Yaoqi.
Did Fang Cun really fail in officialdom? He was clearly doing well in the south. Although his current rank wasn't high, he was highly regarded by his superiors and had a promising future. But he left such a promising future in the south behind. Why did he have to come to Yanbei?
After Mrs. Fang's visit to Yanbei, Ren Yaoqi understood more and more that although Yanbei still belonged to the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty in name, the Yanbei Palace had already had its own set of rules for appointing and dismissing officials, and it was difficult for the capital to intervene.
The Fang family only had one relative in Yanbei, the Ren family, who was of no help at all. They had no foundation or connections at all, otherwise their plans wouldn't have been ruined by her little tricks.
Even for Concubine Fang, Fang Cun couldn't risk his own future. Even if he wanted to, he had to consider his wife and children. Furthermore, leaving the south would weaken Fang Cun's control over the Fang family. Was it really worth it?
But judging by the enthusiasm with which Madam Fang visited various families when she came to Yanbei, she felt it was worth it.
Could it be that Fang Cun has other reasons for coming to Yanbei?
Ren Yaoqi felt that perhaps Fang Cun was more complicated than she had imagined.
"Say something!" Ren Yaohua talked to Ren Yaoqi for a long time without any response from her, so he couldn't help but raise his voice.
Ren Yaoqi came back to his senses: "What did you say?"
