Wujing's words made Ren Yaohua's face turn slightly cold.
"Who is it?"
"The one from the Liu'an family came up from the manor not long ago. She and Mrs. Xu, who works at the outer courtyard gate, are sisters-in-law."
"Mrs. Xu from the concierge?" Ren Yaohua was stunned and asked in astonishment, "Ying'er's mother-in-law?"
Wujing nodded. "That's her. The dog the Liu'an family brought in today was borrowed from Mrs. Xu."
Ren Yaohua's expression changed unpredictably when she heard this. Suddenly, she turned and glared at Ren Yaoqi: "You actually guessed it right! Now, it will be hard for Fifth Aunt not to suspect me."
"Fifth Aunt will be able to find out about this relationship soon." Ren Yaoqi smiled and looked at Ren Yaohua.
Ren Yaohua narrowed her eyes and took a few steps in the room.
"What is Ying'er's relationship with her mother-in-law?" Ren Yaoqi was not as anxious as Ren Yaohua. Instead, he inquired about irrelevant things.
Wu Jing hurriedly said, "I heard from Sister Zhu'er and Sister Ying'er the other day that they are very lucky. Her parents-in-law think highly of her, and her husband is also an honest and dutiful man. Sister Ying'er has always been the boss in the family."
"One and only?" Ren Yaoqi raised his eyebrows slightly and chewed on these words carefully.
"Huh!" Ren Yaohua sneered, "What a straightforward person!"
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Ren Yaohua and said with a smile, "If not, how could this crime be pinned on you? It must have been you who secretly instructed your former maid to mobilize her family to stand up for you."
"What should we do now? We can't just watch that bitch succeed and reap the benefits by hiding in the dark, right?" Ren Yaohua said gritting her teeth.
"As for a solution... Of course there is one." Ren Yaoqi thought for a while and said slowly.
Ren Yaohua glared at him.
After Ren Yaoqi came out of the main room, he called Nanny Zhu over.
When Li and Ren Yaohua went to the farm, the highest-ranking nanny in charge of Ziwei Courtyard was Nanny Zhu, which made her very famous for a while.
But ever since Ren Yaohua came back, she hadn't been able to get involved in the affairs of Ziwei Courtyard at all. Therefore, these past few days, Madam Zhu's life was extremely difficult, and she even thought about asking Concubine Fang for help.
But Aunt Fang hasn't been seen for the past few days. I heard that she caught a cold and is not feeling well.
"Madam, why do you look so listless?" Ren Yaoqi looked at Madam Zhu and frowned.
Nanny Zhu looked around and came close to Ren Yaoqi, sobbing and crying: "Oh! Sister, you don't know! These past few days have been tough for me! That Third Sister doesn't like you, so how could she be so kind to us, your servants? Just yesterday, the steward brought out a few plum vases from the storeroom. I saw one of them, the misty blue one, which you had wanted to put in the hall to use for plum branches in the winter. But the steward found this plum vase for Third Sister. I begged her several times in a gentle voice, but in the end, I was humiliated by those cunning maids around Third Sister! My old face..."
Ren Yaoqi was furious: "How can this be! Ren Yaohua is really going too far!"
Nanny Zhu secretly glanced at Ren Yaoqi and saw that she was indeed full of anger, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She heard from the maids in the courtyard that the relationship between the third and fifth sisters was not as tense as before. However, she knew Ren Yaoqi's temper best, especially after being slapped by Ren Yaohua, and there was no way she could swallow this anger.
"That's right! Sister, you are also the Madam's legitimate daughter, but when it comes to Third Sister, you are not even as good as a concubine's sister!"
Ren Yaoqi thought about it and suddenly laughed.
Nanny Zhu was stunned, somewhat puzzled: "Sister?"
Ren Yaoqi waved to Nanny Zhu, and Nanny Zhu put her ear closer.
"Don't worry, Ma'am. I'll help you vent your anger right away! Originally, I wanted to tolerate her for my mother's sake, but I didn't expect Ren Yaohua to be so arrogant after just a few days back. She beats and scolds me whenever she wants. I don't want to tolerate her anymore. I must bring her back to the manor to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
Nanny Zhu's face lit up with joy, and she hurriedly asked, "Then sister, do you have any idea?" No wonder there was no trouble in the past few days. It turned out that the fifth sister was looking for an opportunity.
