Chapter 5 (Part 2): Prevent

Ren Yaoqi contemplated for a moment and looked at Ren Yaohua as she earnestly said, “Third Elder Sister, what do you think I could mean? Just now, if I had allowed Concubine Fang to continue feeling, allow Ninth Younger Sister to continue making a din and alarm the others in the residence, who do you would be the one at a loss?”

Ren Yaohua stared at Ren Yaoqi with an unfathomable expression in her eyes for quite a while but she twitched the corner of her mouth and smiled a little sarcastically, “I thought that you have a close relationship with Concubine Fang, a close sibling relationship with Sixth Younger Brother and the others, hence you can’t bear to see them being wronged by me. It can’t be that you have already forgotten who was the one who asserted before Paternal Grandfather and Paternal Grandmother that it was me who pushed Sixth Younger Brother into the water back then.”  

Ren Yaoqi’s eyes looked down and she did not speak. This was a Gordian knot between her and Ren Yaohua, there was no use in an explanation.   

Furthermore, a block of ice that is one meter deep is not frozen from just one frigid day. She did not have any extravagant hope that just today could change the relationship between the two of them.

“Just take it that I don’t wish for Mother to be implicated again.”

Wet Nurse Zhou sighed. “We left for a year and Old Madam also handed Zi Wei Courtyard for her to look after. Naturally, times have changed. Previously, we thought that the two servant girls, Ying Er and Zhu Er are steady and have followed for Old Madam for many years, so it would be most suitable for them to stay behind to look after the courtyard. If anything happened in the residence, they can also quickly dispatch people to send a letter to the village in time. I didn’t expect that they would be married off by Old Madam. Right now, it’s even hard for them to enter the inner courtyard. It’s really a pity.”
