Old Lady Ren didn't like Li, but she was nice to her granddaughter Ren Yaohua.
When Ren Yaohua pushed Ren Yihong into the water, the old lady thought that she was young and impulsive, and it was an accident, and she did not intend to harm her half-brother's life, so she helped her to speak well of her in front of Old Man Ren.
"Mrs. Fang also knows this. So if one day the old lady no longer stands on Third Sister's side, what will happen then?"
"How is this possible? The old lady has always loved my third sister. When we were at the farm, she even sent someone to bring food to my third sister." Que'er shook her head hurriedly.
Ren Yaohua and Nanny Zhou remained silent.
The old lady has no shortage of people of the same generation as her. In the current Ren family, the fourth sister Ren Yaoyin, born to the eldest wife, and the fifth wife's legitimate daughter Ren Yaoyu are the most favored. The old lady often lets them stay overnight in the east warm pavilion of Ronghuayuan.
Today, Ren Yaohua and Li went to pay their respects to the old lady. Although the old lady was very happy to see Ren Yaohua, when Ren Yaohua pleaded for Li, she was scolded by her with a cold face.
In the past, in the Ren family, Old Lady Ren would never say a harsh word to Ren Yaohua. Every time Old Lady Ren embarrassed Li, Ren Yaohua would smooth things over, and Old Lady Ren would give her granddaughter some face.
"So the most important thing for you, Third Sister, right now is not to find ways to cause trouble for Aunt Fang and let your reputation of being mean and domineering be deliberately spread to the point where everyone knows about it. Instead, it is to work hard to consolidate your position in front of the old lady. As long as you are still the most favored granddaughter of the old lady, you will have plenty of opportunities to teach Aunt Fang a lesson in the future." Ren Yaoqi pointed out calmly and objectively.
No one noticed the indifference she showed towards Old Lady Ren in her calmness. It seemed that in her mind, Old Lady Ren was just a tool to gain a foothold in the inner house, someone who had value, not her own grandmother.
"Third sister, fifth sister is right." Nanny Zhou pondered Ren Yaoqi's words and became more frightened the more she thought about it.
First, Aunt Fang eliminated Li's old people who stayed in Ziwei Courtyard. First, it cut off Li's connection with the Ren family's main residence, which deepened the rift between Ren Yaoqi, Li, and Ren Yaohua. Second, it made room for those people she wanted to bring to Ziwei Courtyard.
If she did this, Ren Yaohua would definitely be furious when she returned home, so she used her next move.
Her ultimate goal was to make Ren Yaohua completely fall out of favor with Old Lady Ren, and offend all the masters and servants in the Ren family so that they would be isolated.
Ren Yaohua finally understood the situation and felt aggrieved. She wanted to mock Ren Yaoqi and ask him, "Isn't it just what you want that I've fallen out of favor with my grandmother?"
But when she met Ren Yaoqi's calm eyes, she swallowed her words.
Although Ren Yaohua remained silent, Nanny Zhou knew her very well and knew that she must have taken it in. She smiled at Ren Yaoqi with great satisfaction and said, "Fifth sister has truly grown up. Even Madam and I haven't thought about these things."
Ren Yaoqi lowered her eyes and remained silent. In her previous life, she had studied under Pei Zhiyan, a former imperial teacher. The twists and turns of the inner chambers now seemed to her like the curtains and consoles of a shadow play, revealing the densely packed strings that controlled the puppets' movements.
