Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua were not surprised to hear what Li had said in secret. Li was not a cruel person. On the contrary, she was very kind-hearted.
Ren Yaohua sneered, "So no matter whether that woman is Mei Hong or not, she's targeting me specifically?"
Ren Yaoqi also believed that this might be Aunt Fang's backup plan.
"But..." Ren Yaohua raised an eyebrow and said, "If she was planning to target me, why didn't she go after Chun'er, who I had just kicked out of the Ren family, but Meihong, who had been away from the Ren family for so long? Wouldn't it be much easier to find Chun'er? Many people in the Ren family knew Chun'er, and Meihong had been gone for over two years. She was still very young when she left the Ren family, so her appearance must have changed."
Ren Yaoqi thought for a moment and said, "First, the Li family just had a commotion. If Chun'er is used as an excuse, it would be too obvious and would very likely implicate Concubine Fang. And even if you wanted to sell Chun'er to that kind of place, how could you possibly sell her to Baihe Town right under my nose? Hongmei has been gone for over two years, so it's possible she was sold back. Second, Chun'er used to be Ninth Sister's personal maid. If she was sold to that kind of place, Ninth Sister would be proud of her."
What if Chun'er exposed some of Ren Yaoying's private matters in that situation, would Ren Yaoying still want to get married in this life?
Nanny Zhou asked, "What should we do now? We can't just let this rumor continue to spread, right?"
Ren Yaohua sneered, "Since she's put so much thought into setting up this scheme, how could she possibly let me get away so easily? Just wait and see, this matter might have already spread. What's there to be afraid of? At worst, I'll just die of old age in the inner courtyard, but they, mother and daughter, should be careful! I already have such a 'vicious' reputation, so why should I worry about any other means to deal with them?"
Nanny Zhou's heart skipped a beat when she heard this: "Third Miss, this is absolutely not allowed!" She looked at Ren Yaoqi again, "Fifth Miss..."
Ren Yaoqi smiled soothingly at Nanny Zhou, but her expression turned a bit cold towards Ren Yaohua: "Third sister, who are you and what is she? Die together? Does she deserve it? What did you say to me when you faced Ninth Sister before? And this is all you can do?"
Ren Yaohua couldn't help but glare at Ren Yaoqi upon hearing this. Ren Yaoqi remained unmoved: "You're admitting defeat right after the start, and you won't let me say anything?"
"I didn't give up!" Ren Yaohua said angrily.
Ren Yaoqi shook his head and said slowly, "In my eyes, a draw means you lose! You're the legitimate daughter and she's the concubine. Do you think a general and a nobody dying together is a win?"
Ren Yaohua was stunned when she heard this, then she couldn't care less about being angry. She felt a little bit amused and said, "What kind of nonsense analogy are you making?"
Ren Yaoqi looked at Ren Yaohua sternly and said, "Third sister, you have to live well and live better than her. That's how you win! When you die, there's nothing left. What's the point of talking about winning or losing?"
This was not the first time that Ren Yaoqi heard words like "die together" from Ren Yaohua if forced to do so. This was not what she wanted to see.
Ren Yaohua looked at Ren Yaoqi, her lips trembling. She seemed to want to say something but didn't. Then she turned her head away, snorted coldly, and said in a bad tone: "Do you even need to tell me that?"
Nanny Zhou watched the two sisters from the side, and for some reason her eyes felt a little sore. She turned away and wiped her eyes with her sleeve. But her heart was filled with joy.
At this moment, Wujing came in to report that the little maid in the old lady's yard came here on the old lady's orders to invite the third young lady to go to Ronghuayuan.
