Before leaving, Nanny Zhou caught up with them and whispered to Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua, "Although you are here to visit the patient, just take a look from a distance and show your respect. Don't stay in Madam Han's room for too long."
"Why is this?" Ren Yaohua asked in surprise.
Nanny Zhou said, "It's normal for you to not understand these things at your age. I heard that Madam Han has been coughing up blood these past few days, and I'm afraid it's 'daughter's cough'. If you get this disease, your life will be ruined. So you must be very careful. Don't touch anything from Madam Han, and don't eat the food in their house."
Ren Yaohua laughed when she heard this and said, "Madam, you're too worried. Isn't it asthma?"
Nanny Zhou said sternly, "Third sister, you don't know. Because some families have daughters who are about to get married, they don't want to be looked down upon by their future in-laws, so they won't reveal the truth about some illnesses. Just listen to what Nanny says. Be very careful and don't be careless."
Ren Yaohua saw that Nanny Zhou was genuinely worried, so she nodded and agreed, "I understand. I won't go near you."
Nanny Zhou looked at Ren Yaoqi again.
Ren Yaoqi also nodded to indicate that he understood.
Only then did Nanny Zhou let the two sisters go out.
Although the Han family was also in town and the two families were not far away, the women of the Ren family still took a carriage when they went out.
After getting in the car, Ren Yaohua asked Ren Yaoqi, "Is it because of Madam Zhou that Sister-in-law didn't go to the Han family?"
Ren Yaoqi thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "My sister-in-law is a loyal and honest person. Even if she knew, she wouldn't have stayed away because of this. I guess my aunt felt sorry for my sister-in-law, so she went in her place."
The eldest young mistress, Zhao, was indeed a loyal and honest person, without any ulterior motives. She probably wouldn't have avoided the matter herself and asked her mother-in-law to go in her place.
But Zhao has been taking medicine every day recently, apparently hoping to get pregnant quickly. The first wife might have stopped her from going because of this. If Zhao got pregnant at this time, it would be bad if she got sick.
The Ren family handed in a note before coming, otherwise even if they went to visit the patient with good intentions, they would be considered ignorant of etiquette.
So the Han family sent people to wait in front of the Han Mansion early in the morning.
The Ren family's carriage was led directly to the second gate.
This was Ren Yaoqi's first time visiting the Han family's house. She had no impression of the Han family's house and probably had never been there in her previous life.
Although the layout of the Han family's house is not as good as that of the Ren family, and the various buildings in the mansion are not as magnificent as those of the Ren family, it is solemn and simple overall. However, a discerning person can see some differences from the details.
For example, the tall screen stone at the entrance of Han Yunshan and Old Lady Han's courtyard is in no way inferior to the Lingbi stone in Ren's Ronghua Courtyard, which is known as the "Majestic Cangshan Mountain".
There were many precious flowers and plants in a garden we passed by.
However, the Han family's wealth was displayed very subtly. If one was not a discerning person, one would only think that the Han family's house was rough and spacious.
The women of the Ren family were first led to meet the head of the Han family, Mrs. Han.
But everyone was surprised when they saw Old Mrs. Han.
It wasn't because Old Lady Han was unsightly. Quite the contrary. This old lady, who was about the same age as Old Man Han, had bright eyes, very few wrinkles on her face, and black hair. She looked like a lady in her forties, even more energetic than her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Han.
