Ren Yaoyu was also very excited at this moment. Thinking of her injustice and wanting to get redress, she forgot that she could call the maids and servants to call the Fifth Master, and ran out. The Fifth Master should be entertaining some friends in the outer courtyard at this time. Fortunately, she was stopped by her housekeeper.
"Eighth Miss, I will go and call the Fifth Master. You stay with the Fifth Madam."
Seeing that Lin and Ren Yaoyu were both about to leave in anger, Xueli hurriedly said, "Fifth Madam, you, the reward you promised to give me..."
Lin waved her hand: "Come to my yard to get it later, yours will be indispensable!"
Only then did Xue Li look relieved.
It was not dinner time, and Sister Niu was sitting in the courtyard with a group of old women and wives, eating melon seeds and chatting. They were chatting enthusiastically when four or five burly old women rushed in with fierce looks. After asking who Sister Niu was, they picked her up and walked out.
Niu's wife was startled and struggled and cursed all the way, attracting a group of onlookers. No one understood what was going on.
Until Sister Niu was brought before the fifth wife, Mrs. Lin, of Liuliyuan.
Mrs. Niu was startled when she saw Mrs. Wu glaring at her angrily. She forgot to scream and struggle: "Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Wu..."
The Fifth Madam sneered and pointed to a paper package spread out on the table: "Look and see if you recognize what this is!"
Mrs. Niu subconsciously glanced at the table. At first, she couldn't tell what that lump was. However, she had personally handled Ren Yaoyu's medicinal residue, so she still had some impression of it. Therefore, after taking a closer look, she recognized it.
It didn't matter that she was recognized. Mrs. Niu thought she was exposed. She was so scared that her legs went weak and she knelt on the ground. She couldn't even speak. She was so scared that she was stunned.
As soon as the Fifth Madam saw her cowardly look, she understood that what Xueli's maid said must be true.
This was too much! The Fifth Madam was so angry that she pointed at Sister Niu and screamed, "Drag her out and spank her with a stick! Beat this vicious slave to death!" She didn't even have the patience to listen to Sister Niu's explanation.
As soon as Mrs. Lin finished speaking, two maids came up to drag Sister Niu away. Seeing the Fifth Madam's expression, Sister Niu realized that her life might really be over. She kowtowed and cried out, "Fifth Madam, spare me! Fifth Madam, spare me! This is none of my business. I'm just following orders. I don't even know what this medicine is!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the man's voice, suppressed with anger, rang out at the door: "Whose orders are you following?"
When everyone looked back, they saw the fifth master Ren Shimao standing at the door with a sullen face.
As soon as the Fifth Madam saw the Fifth Master coming, she immediately stood up and threw herself into his arms, not caring about the people in the room watching. The ferocious tigress just now burst into tears miserably: "Wu Lang, our Yu'er is so pitiful! How could someone be so cruel as to use drugs to harm her! Wu Lang, you must stand up for us! Wuuuuu..."
The maids and servants in the room seemed to be used to it. They all lowered their heads, looking at their noses and their hearts.
The Fifth Master consoled the Fifth Mistress with a few words. He then glanced at his daughter, who was standing nearby with a look of grievance on her face. The rage in his eyes intensified as he looked at Sister Niu: "I'm asking you a question! On whose orders did you change the Eighth Miss's medicine?" Just now, on the way, Ren Yaoyu's housekeeper had already told him the whole story.
Mrs. Niu calmed down a bit after hearing the Fifth Madam's crying, and started to mumble. She had heard that the Fifth Master was kind, unlike the Fifth Madam's bad temper. Perhaps...
