Ren Shijia and the first wife hurriedly held the old lady. After helping her to the bed and settling her down, Ren Shijia rubbed Old Lady Ren's chest and tried to comfort her. For the first time, the first wife turned her face coldly on Fifth Wife Ren and scolded her, "Didn't you hear your mother tell you to get out? Do you want me to send someone in to get you out?"
The first wife was also very angry about what she said to the fifth wife.
Mrs. Ren Wu bit her lip and ran out.
Mrs. Li couldn't intervene and could only ask from the side: "Do you need to ask a doctor to take a look?"
Ren Shijia looked at Old Lady Ren's face, then nodded and said to Li, "Could you please tell the doctor to come and see Mother again? I just felt her head and it seems to be a little hot."
Li immediately went out to give orders.
The eldest young lady Zhao and the third young lady Qi took the handkerchiefs handed over by the maid and came forward to help Old Madam Ren wipe her face.
Ren Yaohua rubbed Old Lady Ren's arms and legs. She still had feelings for this grandmother who always protected her, so she served Old Lady Ren with sincerity. In comparison, Ren Yaoqi seemed much more dull.
The Ren family waited for most of the day, and at noon, the son-in-law Lin Kun came back.
Mrs. Ren, who had been frail and frail, regained her spirits. She forced herself to sit up and asked, "What's wrong?"
When she found out that only Lin Kun came back, Old Lady Ren's face turned pale and she almost fainted, "Why are you the only one back? Where is the fifth wife?" In fact, Old Lady Ren still cared about what Fifth Madam Lin had said before.
Lin Kun said quickly, "Don't worry, Shi Mao and Big Brother will be back later. I came back to tell you because I was afraid you would be anxious to know the news."
The eldest wife was delighted when she heard this and quickly stood up: "Will the eldest master come back too?"
The old lady finally breathed a sigh of relief and came up, letting Ren Shijia and Ren Yaohua help her sit up straight. "Are you all back? Are you all right?"
Lin Kun said, "Shi Mao and I took the silver and went to see Master Yang, asking him to help intercede for us. In the end, Master Mu accepted a silver note of 10,000 taels and agreed to let my brother out."
Old Madam Ren's face, which had been filled with joy, froze again. She hurriedly asked, "The eldest son has been released, but where's the old man?"
Lin Kun sighed. "After spending ten thousand taels of silver and asking many people to intercede for me, Lord Mu reluctantly agreed to release my brother. However, because this matter involves a lot of people, Lord Mu said that my father-in-law needs to stay in the government office until the case is fully understood."
Old Mrs. Ren felt like the sky was falling. How could things become so serious?
Mrs. Ren asked, "You won't release him even if I pay you more money? If ten thousand taels is not enough, how about twenty thousand, thirty thousand, or one hundred thousand?" The Ren family was not short of money.
A voice said at the door: "This time it's not a matter of money."
It was the third young master Ren Yijun and the eldest young master Ren Yiyan who came in.
"If it's not a problem of money, then what is the problem?" Ren Shijia asked hurriedly.
Ren Yiyan frowned and spoke wearily, "A while ago, a group of thieves in Ningxia broke into the home of a lieutenant general and slaughtered his entire family of over 50 people. They also set the house on fire. This incident caused a big uproar in Ningxia a while ago, and the thieves have not been found yet."
