"Alright, I'll take care of them myself." Old Master Ren interrupted Old Madam Ren calmly and said, "How's the doctor?"
Old Madam Ren calmed down and lowered her voice, "It could also be an intentional miscarriage. The previous pregnancies have already damaged the foundation. The doctor wants Jia'er to be taken good care of. If this pregnancy can't be saved, it will be difficult to have another one in the future."
Old Master Ren thought for a moment and said, "I heard before that Shi Jia came back because Li Sheng took in a maidservant close to her and got angry with Li Sheng."
Old Mrs. Ren shook her head: "That's just a trick. My son-in-law is a decent man." At this point, Old Mrs. Ren sneered slightly, "My daughter of the Ren family suffered so much injustice after getting married, and he still wants to take a concubine? Don't even think about it!" Old Mrs. Ren was really angry this time.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Ren coldly scolded: "Nonsense!"
Old Mrs. Ren was stunned and looked up at Old Mr. Ren.
Old Master Ren walked over to the heated kang, lifted his robe, and sat down, saying slowly, "You know Shijia's condition. It's still unknown whether the child can be born safely. Even if it is born, we don't know whether it will be a boy or a girl, and whether we can raise it. But the doctor said that Shijia is unlikely to have another child in the future. You are her mother, don't you know what to do to truly consider her? What good will it do to act on impulse like this!"
"You mean..." Old Mrs. Ren frowned at her husband.
Old Master Ren glanced at Old Madam Ren and said calmly, "You should persuade Shi Jia to arrange for a concubine for your son-in-law."
When Mrs. Ren heard this, she felt very unhappy.
She has been married to Old Master Ren for many years. Old Master Ren is not a greedy or lustful person, so she is the only one in the backyard and has lived a very smooth life over the years.
She never expected that her only daughter would have to endure the hardships she had never experienced. She had originally thought that the Lin family was a good match and had willingly married her daughter off to them.
Old Master Ren and Old Madam Ren had been married for many years, so they naturally noticed her displeasure and advised gently, "If Shi Jia really doesn't want to, then just take a concubine. Once she has a child, send her far away. The second branch of the Ren family has too few descendants. Even if they have a separate house in the future, they won't be able to maintain their status!"
"A separate mansion?" Old Madam Ren looked at Old Man Ren in surprise. "Do you have a way to get the Lin family to agree to a separate mansion?"
Old Master Ren pondered for a moment. "We'll have to wait until the child is born. We'll have to think about this matter carefully. But if Shi Jia doesn't have any children, what good will it do even if we divide the land? Won't it still be controlled by the eldest son's family in the end?"
Old Madam Ren also came to her senses now: "You are right, old man. I was short-sighted before. She is just a maidservant. She is just a slave! After she gives birth to a child, she will be sold. Wait, then I have to prepare two for Jiaer..."
"You can handle these matters as you see fit. You can buy them from outside, or choose from the Ren family's servants." Old Master Ren frowned and said, "If you had made this plan for her earlier, you wouldn't be in such a rush now."
"I was thinking before that the child was still young. Can she have children? After all, she was raised by my side. How can a child born by a concubine be the same as a biological child?" Old Lady Ren argued with a pout.
Mr. Ren was too lazy to explain these things to the old lady. He just gave a few more instructions and ordered the meal to be served.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Ren did not take a nap, but personally led people to Ren Shijia's Nuanxiang Pavilion.
Old Madam Ren repeated what Old Master Ren had said, that he wanted her to help Lin Kun take a concubine. Ren Shijia was stunned for a while and immediately objected.
