Old Lady Ren said, "I used to think I was young and there was no need to rush. But now there is no way I can be careless. Jiaer has lived up to our teachings on this point. Since you have married into your husband's family, you should put your husband's family first in everything you do." There was a hint of pride in Old Lady Ren's tone.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Rong felt uneasy. Although Old Madam Ren had always been referring to Ren Shijia, one couldn't help but wonder if she was alluding to Lin. Ren Shijia, pregnant, was still arranging a concubine for her husband. Lin, however, had assaulted her son-in-law over a messy affair and returned to her parents' home in anger.
But wasn't Ren Shijia's original reason for returning to her parents' home because the Sixth Young Master had been flirting with her maid behind her back? Why had she changed her ways after returning? Was the old lady still implying that her daughter's ignorance was due to her mother's failure to properly educate her? Did she want her to persuade the First Madam to teach her eldest sister to be more generous?
Aunt Rong really couldn't figure out what the old lady meant, and she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
I had originally thought that because of the Sixth Young Master's wife, Old Lady Ren might have a chance to turn things around on the Kang family. But today, Old Lady Ren's attitude was actually supporting her daughter's finding a concubine for her son-in-law. If the Lin family continued to blindly protect the Lin family, wouldn't that be too overbearing and unreasonable?
Thinking of this, Nanny Rong was already sweating profusely.
Old Madam Ren had been lecturing her daughter, and Madam Rong hadn't had the chance to ask about Lin's affairs, and it wasn't easy to ask now. Naturally, she felt that Old Madam Ren's attitude was a little strange, but she couldn't explain why.
He just thought that he should go back quickly and tell the first wife all this. With her intelligence, she would surely understand what Old Lady Ren was up to.
It was not until Old Lady Ren yawned and Ren Shijia asked her if she was tired that Nanny Rong realized she had to leave, although she hadn't said anything yet.
As Rong Madam Rong retreated from Old Madam Ren's room, she shook her head and sighed. Madam Lin had always worried about her daughter. She had originally thought that Madam Lin was too pampered by her eldest sister and couldn't let go. Now, it seemed that Madam Lin was right.
No matter how good the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is, they are not mother and daughter after all. In this world, only parents can truly care about their daughters, not parents-in-law.
The next morning, Nanny Rong hurriedly said goodbye and left without even going to see Kang. She had originally wanted to find out more about this unexpected mistress, but now she felt that the attitude of the old lady of the Ren family was more important.
After Nanny Rong went back, she didn't come again for a while, but every few days the Lin family would send someone to bring some tonics to Ren Shijia or Old Madam Ren.
Old Madam Ren had sent several groups of people to fetch Lin, but she still refused to return. It was the Fifth Master who, unexpectedly, had not gone to Yunyang City to fetch her since the Fifth Madam left.
It turned out that after Lin left, Ren Shimao wanted to go over, but unfortunately, Mrs. Ren fell ill due to anger, so Ren Shimao did not go. Later, Mrs. Ren taught her son a lesson: "If you insist on going over to her house like this, don't even think about her coming back. Just stay home and she will come back on her own in less than two weeks."
Although Ren Shimao was skeptical of his mother's words, he didn't want to lose face in his own family and then lose it in his wife's family after thinking about Lin's situation. Thinking this way, Ren Shimao was not without resentment towards Lin.
During the time that Lin had left the Ren family and was back at her parents' home, Kang had occasionally gone to look after Ren Shimao. Her current status within the Ren family was quite high, so this was perfectly normal. The wife had left, and the concubine wasn't allowed to come and look after her husband?
So, seeing that Lin was away from home for longer and longer periods of time, Ren Shimao not only did not go looking for her, but instead became more and more harmonious with Kang.
Half a month passed like this. Lin came back with her daughter.
