It was obvious that Old Master Ren was trying to smooth things over by saying this.
Everyone present was shocked. Even Old Madam Ren sensed that Old Master Ren was trying to favor Concubine Fang, but Concubine Fang only managed to raise the corner of her mouth imperceptibly.
Master Ren San was puzzled and said, "Father, with all the evidence, how can you say that an innocent person was wrongly accused? If that's the case, I'm afraid we won't be able to find out anything else."
Old Master Ren glanced at Third Master Ren and successfully silenced him.
Lin finally couldn't help it: "Father, my daughter-in-law doesn't accept it! You are taking her side!"
Master Ren Wu was so frightened that he wanted to cover Lin's mouth, but it was too late. The next moment, Master Ren looked at them with a cold and stern gaze.
"How dare you!" scolded Old Lady Ren.
Lin was still not convinced, she bit her lip and was about to cry again.
Old Master Ren remained unmoved and ordered in a cold voice, "Ms. Fang should return to the courtyard and reflect on her mistakes. We will punish her once the truth is revealed. Shi Mao and Shi Min will stay, and the rest of you may leave."
Master Ren Wu looked at his wife, who was crying so hard that she almost fainted in his arms. He also felt a little resentful towards his father. She was just a concubine, but Master Ren treated her more preciously than his own granddaughter.
Master Ren San felt more and more sorry for his fifth brother, but he couldn't say anything in front of Old Master Ren at the moment. He thought about having a good discussion with Ren Shimao after he got out and making some compensation to the fifth house.
Li bowed obediently and was about to leave. Aunt Fang looked at Li, then looked at the Fifth Madam who was staring at her resentfully, stood up, lowered her head, followed Li, and left the main room with her.
Old Mrs. Ren glanced at Lin, who sniffed and retreated.
Lin came out of the main room and wanted to settle the score with Concubine Fang. However, Concubine Fang was still following Li. After leaving the main room, she said goodbye to Li and hurried out of the courtyard. Lin gritted her teeth and followed her: "Fang Ru, you bitch, stop right there!"
Fang, who was walking in front, turned a deaf ear and quickened her pace. Li saw that things were not going well, so she turned back to look at the main room, then looked at the direction Lin and Fang had left, and hesitated whether to follow them.
Xier said, "Madam, didn't you just twist your ankle? You definitely can't catch up with them. This is Ronghua Courtyard. Why don't you go and tell Sister Shanhu who is by the old lady's side and ask her to send someone over to keep an eye on them? We will help you back."
Li didn't sprain her foot at all, but she understood Xier's meaning. After thinking about it, she nodded and said, "Then you should go and tell Shanhu." Xier went away.
Although Aunt Fang seemed weak and frail on weekdays, Lin was so tired that she was out of breath and couldn't catch up with her, which made her so angry that she stamped her feet.
Concubine Fang had made up her mind to ignore Lin and had the gate of the courtyard closed as soon as she returned. Didn't the old master ask her to reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors? She had just walked into the garden when she heard a quarrel coming from the front. She wanted to go around it, but she found that one of the quarreling voices was Ren Yaoying.
Aunt Fang paused and hurried over to the sound, just in time to see Ren Yaoying being held in a state of restraint by two maids, each holding one arm. Ren Yaoyu pulled a dagger from her sleeve and pointed it at her face, saying viciously, "Isn't your aunt trying to drive me crazy? I'll go crazy to show her! Wait until I've scratched your face into an ugly monster, and then we'll see how you can face people again!"
