"Go get another table set up in the adjacent room. The eldest brother and his brothers will go back first. The eldest brother's wife, the fifth brother's wife, and the sisters will stay for now."
This means that the old lady wants to save some food.
Old Master Ren usually did not ask about such matters. So after hearing the old lady's order, Master Ren Shizhong withdrew with his sons and nephews. The eldest lady bowed in response and went to lead the maids to set the table.
Lin hurriedly stopped the eldest wife and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll go."
The eldest wife glanced at the old lady, and seeing that she didn't express anything, she nodded and smiled at Lin: "Thank you for troubling the fifth sister-in-law."
Lin glared at the eldest wife and said angrily, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? It's as if I don't do any work on weekdays. I worked hard today and I should thank you for it. Are you insulting me in front of the younger generation?"
She had a clear voice and spoke eloquently. Her words sounded a bit harsh, but when they came out of her mouth, it sounded like a joke between close friends.
"Don't bother with this little monkey. She will turn black into white. Just let her go." Old Lady Ren said.
The eldest wife smiled and stood behind the old lady again.
When Lin heard this, she smiled as if she had received a compliment, covered her mouth with her hands, and turned away.
Ren Yaoqi followed Lin and the others to the small room. After Mr. and Mrs. Ren finished their breakfast and the eldest wife came over, they ate together.
Eighth sister Ren Yaoyu had no appetite. She kept picking up a crystal steamed dumpling on her plate with her chopsticks, but she refused to eat it. She also secretly glanced at the fifth wife several times.
The fifth wife ate slowly and praised the delicious winter bamboo shoots to the first wife.
If the most favored girls in the Ren family are Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoyin, then the daughter-in-law who is most favored in front of Old Madam Ren is the Fifth Madam Lin, and even the eldest wife in charge has to stand aside.
Not only because Lin married Mrs. Ren's eldest son, but also because Lin's biological grandmother was Mrs. Ren's aunt.
Old Lady Ren's aunt married into the Lin family, the largest grain merchant in Yanbei. After Old Master Lin passed away, the head of the Lin family became Old Lady Ren's aunt's eldest son, who was also Lin's father.
Lin and Ren Shimao, the fifth master of the Ren family, had been childhood sweethearts and engaged since childhood. They had been married for over ten years and had a son and a daughter. Although the fifth master would spend three or four months each year in the capital with the old man from the second house, their relationship had always been harmonious.
Although Lin was favored, Old Lady Ren was indifferent to Lin's daughter Ren Yaoyu. Ren Yaoyu was far less favored by Old Lady Ren than Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoyin.
Before Ren Yaohua went to the manor, the East Warm Pavilion of Ronghua Garden could be regarded as Ren Yaohua's personal boudoir. Even Ren Yaoyin, the fourth sister born to the eldest wife, did not live here.
