Ren Yaoyu felt relieved and walked forward slowly a few steps before stopping in front of Old Lady Ren.
Old Madam Ren's voice was quite gentle: "Are those two maids kneeling outside serving you?"
Ren Yaoyu glanced at her mother and nodded.
"Do you know why they were punished to kneel?"
Ren Yaoyu subconsciously wanted to look towards Lin again, but Old Madam Ren suddenly slammed the sandalwood low table on the Luohan bed and said in a loud voice, "I'm asking you a question! Where are you looking?"
Ren Yaoyu trembled with fear, nearly bursting into tears. She was usually quite lively, but for some reason, when she saw her grandfather and grandmother, she was like a mouse meeting a cat, unwilling to speak in front of the old ladies. Her mother, Mrs. Lin, had reprimanded her for this habit many times, but she never changed.
"Mother, Yaoyu was scared and ran back to Jianjia Courtyard because she didn't know what the two maids had done wrong and were punished to kneel. She has always been timid, so please don't get angry with yourself because of her shameful habit." Mrs. Lin felt sorry for her daughter and hurried to smooth things over for her.
Old Madam Ren's face darkened slightly: "You've spoiled me!"
Lin herself was not afraid of being scolded, and hurriedly smiled and said, "I know I was wrong, that's why I sent her to you to ask you to help discipline her. You teach children well. Now everyone in Yunyang City knows my cousin Shi Jia. Every time I go back to my parents' home, my grandmother and mother teach me like my cousin." In the end, Lin still felt aggrieved.
The cousin Lin mentioned was Ren Shijia, the daughter of Old Lady Ren, who married the only son of Lin's cousin.
Old Madam Ren's expression softened slightly: "In that case, don't stand there and feel bad while I teach her a lesson."
Lin said hurriedly: "I am not worried about this girl, I am worried about you, mother!"
Old Madam Ren snorted softly, then turned to look at Ren Yaoyu: "Early this morning, someone saw your two maids sneaking out of the yard with a bag of things."
Ren Yaoyu was about to look towards Lin, but she managed to hold herself back and stammered, "Grandma, I... I don't know..." She completely forgot what her mother had taught her.
Lin gave Ren Yaoyu a stern look and had to step forward again, saying, "Mother, who saw it? Can you call her over and ask her about it? It's pitch black on a cold winter morning, so it's normal for her to make a mistake. Or maybe those two maids just took Yu'er's spare clothes and left."
Ren Yaoqi, who had been listening silently, suddenly remembered that after she recovered from her illness, although no one in Ronghua Courtyard or the entire Ren family dared to discuss Ren Yaoyu's expulsion from Ronghua Courtyard, she did hear a story from Nanny Zhu, and that story was likely directly related to Ren Yaoyu's dislike by Old Madam Ren. ****Thanks to Arab Plastic Bag for the fan~ And thanks to enigayani for your continued support~^^~` This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue!)
