"I am your elder sister and the master of your aunt! Who are you and I? We haven't seen each other for a year, and all the etiquette you learned has been thrown away? Aunt Fang, is this the result of your upbringing?" Ren Yaohua sneered.
"Third sister, please forgive me. It is my fault for failing to discipline you." Aunt Fang said softly, her attitude extremely humble. "Ninth sister, please go and apologize to Third sister."
Ren Yaoying jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on. "I don't want to be with such a vicious person. She wants to kill Sixth Brother and beats and scolds us. Aunt, let's go!"
"Ren Yaoying, repeat what you just said." Ren Yaohua said coldly.
"Just, you... um... um..."
"Third sister, please forgive Ninth sister for her outspokenness. She is still young and ignorant. It is all my fault. I kneel down in front of you." Aunt Fang pleaded anxiously, covering Ren Yaoying's mouth to prevent her from angering Ren Yaohua again.
"Auntie——" Ren Yaoying cried, and the scene sounded a bit miserable.
Ren Yaoqi glanced outside the door. The maids and old women brought by Aunt Fang should still be standing outside. She had a headache.
After thinking about it, she lifted the curtain.
In the east side room, Aunt Fang knelt upright in front of Ren Yaohua with her head lowered. Ren Yaoying tried desperately to pull Aunt Fang up, but was pushed away by Aunt Fang.
Ren Yaohua stood in front of the kang and watched coldly. Nanny Zhou looked at Aunt Fang and then at Ren Yaohua, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
The sixth young master, Ren Yihong, stood beside the curtain with a frown on his face. He seemed to want to go forward but didn't know what to do, and felt a little embarrassed.
The people over there also noticed Ren Yaoqi coming in.
"Fifth sister, your face--" Aunt Fang saw the injuries on Ren Yaoqi's face at a glance and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Ren Yaoying also stared at the five finger marks on Ren Yaoqi's left cheek in surprise, then glanced at Ren Yaohua and said to the aunt, "Fifth sister must have been beaten by third sister!"
The affirmative tone sounded a bit like gloating.
"What are you doing here?" Ren Yaohua asked with a cold face.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Ren Yaohua, then walked over to help Aunt Fang up. "Mother asked me to come over to Aunt Fang. She just took some medicine and isn't feeling well enough to see you. She already knows and appreciates Sixth Brother and Ninth Sister's filial piety. It's snowing hard today, and the road is cold and slippery. Aunt Fang, please take Sixth Brother and Ninth Sister home to rest as soon as possible. Otherwise, if they catch a cold, Aunt Fang won't feel bad, but as their mother, she will."
Aunt Fang's body stiffened, and she glanced quickly at Ren Yaoqi, then at Ren Yaohua.
Ren Yaoqi also followed Aunt Fang's gaze and looked at Ren Yaohua. Seeing that Ren Yaohua was just standing there with a sneer, he continued, "I didn't expect Aunt Fang to be so sincere and even kneel down and kowtow to mother. I will definitely tell mother."
Ren Yaoying yelled, "My aunt is not kneeling..."
Ren Yaoqi quickly interrupted her, "Who else could Auntie be kneeling to if not Mother? There are only Third Sister, Sixth Brother, Ninth Sister, and Nanny Zhou here. Third Sister, Sixth Brother, Ninth Sister, although you are nominally Auntie's masters, Auntie Fang is, after all, my father's concubine who was brought into the mansion. She also made contributions to raising our son, so she is considered half an elder. It would be unreasonable and unnatural for her to kneel to any of you. If outsiders knew about this, wouldn't you all become arrogant?"
