Ren Yaoqi knew then that despite Chun'er's clever schemes, she still couldn't escape Ren Yaohua's Five Finger Mountain. Ren Yaohua would undoubtedly show no mercy to those who dared to rebel against her superiors. After Ren Yaohua returned and learned of Chun'er's complicity in the evil, she must have taken her away.
Ren Yaoqi guessed correctly. After Ren Yaohua came back from playing the flute, Xiangqin came to complain. Ren Yaohua was very angry after hearing it.
However, just as Ren Yaoying had expected, no matter how reckless Ren Yaohua was on other days, he would not dare to attack her at this time. He could only glare at her across the table.
What Ren Yaoying didn't expect was that Ren Yaohua only endured until she came on stage.
Because the vermilion made from the cinnabar prepared by the Yun family was not the color that Ren Yaoying was used to, Ren Yaoying asked Chun'er to get her the one she had prepared in advance, but Chun'er never came back.
Ren Yaohua ordered Xiangqin to call two maids to wait on the road where Chun'er came back. They knocked the person unconscious and carried her away. They sent the carriage back to Baihe Town without stopping and handed her over to Madam Zhou. They told the people of the Yun family that the maid had suffered from heatstroke.
Ren Yaohua ordered Madam Zhou to reward Chun'er with thirty strokes of the cane and then sell her off.
The reason why she was sent back to Baihe Town for sentencing instead of to the Ren family's villa in Yunyang City was because Old Madam Ren and Aunt Fang's sister-in-law were in the villa at the moment. Ren Yaohua was afraid that Old Madam Ren would stop her from sentencing Chun'er for the sake of Aunt Fang and the Fang family's reputation.
Ren Yaohua believed that if Chun'er's behavior wasn't punished promptly, others would follow suit. So she quickly and decisively eliminated the person to serve as a warning to others.
Chun'er was sent away, and Ren Yaohua asked Xiangqin to deliver cinnabar to Ren Yaoying. Ren Yaoying looked very unhappy when she saw Xiangqin, but she could do nothing but calm down and paint.
Xiangqin also memorized the painting that Ren Yaoying had drawn, and came back to describe it in detail to Ren Yaohua. Then Ren Yaohua completely understood the reason why Ren Yaoying sent Ren Yaoqi away.
After Ren Yaoqi revised Ren Yaoying's painting last time, the overall composition and layout of the painting improved significantly. Ren Yaoying could never have achieved this on her own.
Besides painting, Ren Yaoying's only real talent was calligraphy. Unfortunately, with Jiang Yuanniang and Su Fangfei around, she couldn't even draw a flower. In the end, she could only redraw the painting that Ren Yaoqi had corrected.
After listening to what Ren Yaohua said, Ren Yaoqi had no idea what he didn't understand.
Ren Yaohua whispered to Ren Yaoqi, "Wait until she comes down and then you go on stage. If you draw seriously, you will definitely draw better than this little bitch!"
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "I won't paint today."
Ren Yaohua frowned: "Why? Are you afraid of losing to her?"
Ren Yaoqi laughed: "She can only use some inferior methods." Ren Yaoqi never wanted to compete with Ren Yaoying.
"Then why are you..."
Ren Yaoqi interrupted Ren Yaohua and said, "I have already made an agreement with the princess. I will play the zither and she will dance with the sword."
When Ren Yaohua heard that Ren Yaoqi was going to perform with the princess, she couldn't say anything against it, even though she thought Ren Yaoqi was better at painting than playing the piano, and she really didn't want to see Ren Yaoying get what she wanted.
Ren Yaoqi knew what Ren Yaohua was thinking the moment she saw her expression, and whispered to comfort her, "If you're worried that Ren Yaoying will take the lead this time, then you can rest assured. I'm afraid she won't be able to do that."
