Gao smiled and asked, "Where is the uncle now?"
The eldest maid smiled and said, "My uncle is in the main room. When you didn't come back, my uncle asked three times when you would come back."
Gao nodded and quickly went to the main room with the maids.
Ren Yaoying had been having a very rough time recently, and she regretted it. She regretted that she should not have watched Zhou Wen become an official, and that she should not have escaped the He family's marriage and followed him to Yizhou because she could not forget her old love for him.
Although everyone in the Zhou family said that Gao was a tolerant and virtuous woman, Ren Yaoying knew that Gao was a powerful person. Zhou seemed to have done nothing, but she suppressed her from time to time. When Gao did not come to Yizhou, her maid was very powerful. Now that Gao came to Yizhou herself, no one in the backyard was willing to listen to her. If she wanted to do anything, the maid in her room had to ask Gao for permission.
But Zhou Wen's interest in her had worn off. In the past, when she lost her temper, Zhou Wen would coax her, but now he would just walk away without saying a word. Ren Yaoying felt very aggrieved.
But what's the point of regretting it now? Can she still go back to the Ren family?
Thinking of the Ren family, Ren Yaoying felt a little hope in her heart. She had left the Ren family secretly, and the Ren family would definitely look for her. If she went back, she would lie and say that she was kidnapped. Ren Yaoying was unfamiliar with Yizhou and had no support from her family. The Zhou family treated her like a concubine. Ren Yaoying really didn't want to live like this anymore.
Ren Yaoying thought about it for a long time and finally made up her mind to leave the Zhou family and Zhou Wen. If Zhou Wen didn't let her go, she would go to the government to sue him, saying that she had been deceived and abducted by him. If Zhou Wen still had any dignity, he would have to let her go.
Thinking of this, Ren Yaoying called the maid to ask where Zhou Wen was and whether Gao had returned. After learning that they were both in the main room, she asked the maid to fetch water for her to wash her face, comb her hair again, and then went to the main room in a proud manner.
When Ren Yaoying entered, Zhou Wen and Gao were both sitting on the kang, very close to each other. Gao's face was slightly red, and her temples were a little messy. Ren Yaoying had also experienced love affairs, so she naturally understood what Zhou Wen and Gao were doing just now. She looked at Zhou Wen with hatred.
Zhou Wen felt a little embarrassed when Ren Yaoying looked at him like that. He coughed lightly and lowered his head to drink his tea.
Gao asked gently, "What does Aunt Ren want to see me about?"
Ren Yaoying glanced at Gao and said coldly, "I know your Zhou family can't tolerate me, so I'm here to beg for mercy!"
Zhou Wen looked up suddenly when he heard this, frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Ren Yaoying glanced at him and sneered, "I was deceived by your sweet words. I left my hometown and followed you to Yizhou, but how did you treat me? I won't say anything else. Give me one thousand taels of silver and send me back to Yunyang City. Then we can pretend we've never met."
Zhou Wen was completely baffled by Ren Yaoying's demands, and felt embarrassed in front of Gao. He felt Ren Yaoying was being unreasonable, but he didn't think he'd treated her unfairly. Ever since she'd been with him, she'd been well fed, well clothed, and well-fed. Even when Gao wanted to make clothes, she'd let Ren Yaoying choose the fabric first. When she made jewelry, she never forgot her contribution, yet Ren Yaoying was always dissatisfied, finding fault with everything.
