Aunt Fang lowered her head and stared at the tip of her shoes like a fool, seemingly unable to react to what had happened. Instead, Lin, who had cut Aunt Fang's face four or five times, slowly came to her senses. She looked at Aunt Fang, who had become a bloody body, then looked at her bloody hands, and suddenly her face turned pale, she threw the dagger in her hand and screamed.
Being held in Aunt Fang's arms, Ren Yaoying felt a sticky liquid sliding down her clothes into her neck. It was warm, but it made her shiver with cold. She opened her mouth and wanted to scream, but in the end her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
The garden was in chaos, and those who were not scared silly were screaming. Ren Yaoyu looked at Aunt Fang and her daughter, then looked at her mother who was still screaming. She gritted her teeth and climbed up, then rushed to Lin, pulled her mother up with her uninjured hand and ran away.
Lin was already terrified. She ran whenever Ren Yaoyu pulled her. When the mother and daughter had run halfway out of the yard, they suddenly heard Aunt Fang let out a shrill scream. Both mother and daughter trembled in their hearts and ran even faster.
At that time, Lin and Ren Yaoyu had no way to describe how they felt when they heard Aunt Fang's screams. When they recalled it later, they felt as if there was a ghost chasing them.
In Ronghua Courtyard, Old Master Ren and Old Lady Ren were still educating their two sons. When they heard someone come in to report that Aunt Fang and the Fifth Madam were in trouble, Old Lady Ren said calmly, "That's just the way the Fifth Madam's wife is. She'll be fine once she lets out her anger."
This time, Concubine Fang was in the wrong, Old Lady Ren thought. Even if Concubine Fang suffered a little from Lin, it wouldn't matter, otherwise Lin would definitely make a fuss, so she had originally thought of turning a blind eye.
Unexpectedly, Shanhu looked like she was about to faint: "Old, old lady, the Fifth Madam slashed Concubine Fang's face several times with a dagger. Concubine Fang was bleeding all over the floor and has fainted! Miss Nine also fainted from fright!"
Old Mrs. Ren sat up straight abruptly: "What did you say!"
Old Master Ren and his two sons were also shocked.
Master Ren Wu walked forward quickly and asked Shan Hu anxiously, "Where is Madam Wu?"
Shanhu said hurriedly, "I heard from the maids that after the Fifth Madam scratched Concubine Fang, she was dragged away by the Eighth Miss."
Ren Shimao, however, felt relieved. He glanced at Ren Shimin, unsure what to feel. Apologizing wasn't an option. Not apologizing wasn't an option either. In the end, he could only sigh, pat Ren Shimin's shoulder heavily, and then walk out without saying anything.
Ren Shimin glanced at Old Master Ren, then at Old Madam Ren, then bowed and left.
Mrs. Ren saw that the matter had become a big deal. She had no time to worry about her two sons, so she hurriedly ordered the maids to ask the eldest wife to take Concubine Fang and Ren Yaoying back, and to control the spread of any bad rumors. She also arranged for someone to invite a doctor into the house.
Old Master Ren was listening to Old Madam Ren's arrangements, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ren Yaoqi, who had been sending people to monitor Concubine Fang's movements, also learned of what had happened in the courtyard. She was stunned for a moment. Although she could have expected Lin to cause trouble for Concubine Fang, perhaps even give her a few slaps like Ren Yaohua had done to Ren Yaoyin, she had not expected Lin to do it in such a brutal way.
Even Madam Zhou said, "This...this Fifth Madam is too...appearance is so important to a woman, especially someone like Madam Fang!"
