"Oh? Then can you find out who took these six boxes of pearl peach blossom powder?" Ren Shimin also realized the seriousness and severity of the matter, and his expression became serious.
Lin and Ren Yaoyu were both nearly poisoned to death this time, which shows the viciousness of the person who poisoned them. If they could find out who was responsible, they would never tolerate such a person harming the Ren family again.
Ren Shimao sighed: "I have asked before, but the four maids all blamed each other and refused to admit that they did it."
Ren Shimin frowned: "So what should we do now? Hand him over to the authorities?"
Ren Shimao clenched his fists and said coldly, "Send her to the authorities? That's too easy for her!"
Ren Shimin saw Ren Shimao's expression and knew what was going on. Ren Shimao must have made up his mind beforehand, but he was afraid that the outcome of this matter would involve Concubine Fang and that she would have a grudge against him, so he informed him in advance.
"Just go ahead and do it. If it turns out that she has nothing to do with it, then so be it. But if she is really behind the scenes, even if you don't do anything, I will not tolerate such a vicious woman anymore and give her the chance to stir up trouble again!" Ren Shimin said seriously.
Ren Shimao did not look happy when he heard this, but instead looked more hesitant.
Ren Shimin was puzzled and thought to himself, does fifth brother think that he will protect Aunt Fang?
Ren Shimao shook his head and said, "Of course I believe you, Third Brother. I'm just afraid that my father and mother will stop me from seeking justice for my wife and daughter."
Ren Shimao's expression was somewhat gloomy. "Third brother should still remember what happened last time. There's already irrefutable evidence that Fang murdered Yu'er, but father still... If it weren't for this, Huijun wouldn't have lost his mind and disfigured Fang in anger."
When Ren Shimao said this, he felt resentful towards his father. If it weren't for the unfair treatment of Old Master Ren that time, how could so many things have happened later? How could Lin and Ren Yaoyu be retaliated against? How could Ren Yaoyu even still not wake up?
But a son should not criticize his father. Old Master Ren was Ren Shimao's father and the head of the Ren family. No matter how much Ren Shimao felt bad, he couldn't say a word to blame his father in front of his own brother.
But this time, he didn't want to obey his father's decision anymore.
"Actually, this time, my father asked me to go to Kyoto and gave me a lot of instructions, all related to the Jiangnan businesses. I now understand that although my father agreed to separate from my second uncle, he still controls the Ren family." Ren Shimao sighed, "Since my father can't give up the businesses in my second uncle's hands, he will definitely need to rely on Fang Yacun in the future, so he will definitely not allow us to truly fall out with the Fang family!"
After all, Ren Shimao was not Ren Shimin. He had traveled back and forth between Kyoto and Yanbei over the years, and had also helped the Ren family manage many of their businesses. After what had happened last time, Ren Shimao had no idea why Old Master Ren would constantly protect a concubine.
If it had been before, it would have been fine. But recently, the Ren family's coal warehouse in Jiangnan has successfully turned losses into profits thanks to Fang Yacun's connections. How could Old Master Ren, with such great ambitions, give up his goal? Everyone in the Ren family understands that Old Master Ren's goal is to open coal warehouses throughout Da Zhou. This is also the late old master's last wish for him.
Although Ren Shimin rarely asked about these things, he was not a stupid person and he understood what Ren Shimao meant.
