Chapter 18: Returning

  Since the Fifth Madam was born, it has been smooth sailing. Now that she was pushed aside by a concubine she had never liked, how could she swallow this breath? She immediately ran furiously to the Ronghua Courtyard to complain to Old Madam Ren. At that time, Old Madam Ren was having lunch with Aunt Xiao. The Fifth Madam didn’t care so much, she started crying after she broke in, accusing Concubine Fang of hiding evil intentions and designing Ren Yaoyu in order to make her daughter stand out. In the end, Auntie Xiao, who was sitting quietly, was also scolded by her. Old Madam Ren’s face sank immediately: “Presumptuous! Who allowed you to be rude without any regard for the old or young? The Ren family’s face has been lost by you! Scram for me!” Née Lin had never seen Old Madam Ren speak so harshly to her, and she started to cry after being stunned. At this time, the Eldest Madam got the news and rushed over, pulling née Lin to the side to comfort her. Auntie Xiao embarrassedly got up

Chapter 17: Success or Failure

  “Exactly.” Auntie Xiao nodded and replied. Old Madam Ren was a little surprised: “When they first moved here last year, our Old Master urged the steward to send some congratulatory gifts, and the Han family also sent back gifts. It’s just that the female members of their family rarely go out, so although there are some polite exchanges between the estates, we have never met the Han family. How is the Han family related to the Yanbei Palace?” Auntie Xiao thought for a while and shook her head: “This, I haven’t heard of. I have been to the Han Estate twice, and I have met the old madam and madam of the Han family. Old Madam Han is a kind person, and Madam Han is also very capable.” “I heard that the Old Master Han, who is now the head of the Han family, is an army recruit?” Old Madam Ren was really curious about the Han family. It stands to reason that a  son-in-law  has always been looked down upon by others, and he has no status in his wife’s family. However, this Old Master of the H

Chapter 23: The Han Family Comes

  “The brush stroke is advanced, and the painting is full of meaning.” Ren Shimin approached a little closer, looked down carefully at the painting that had been touched up by Ren Yaoqi, and praised with surprise on his face, “Yaoyao, your progress in the past half year is really unbelievable.” Half a year? She has been painting for more than half a year… Ren Yaoqi sighed inwardly, but just pursed her lips and smiled. ”Fifth Sister paints really well.” Ren Yihong looked at Ren Yaoqi and said shyly. Ren Yihong is Ren Shimin's only son. Concubine Fang had high expectations for her son, so she never let him interfere with the affairs of the inner court. In Ren Yaoqi’s memory, this younger brother was shy and had a pretty good relationship with her. Now he and several other cousins ​​in the Ren family are studying classics and history with a senior teacher hired by the estate. His learning is not bad and he likes painting, but his talent is not high. Ren Yaoqi remembered that in her pa

Chapter 39: Sisters Discussing Marriage

  Ren Yaoqi looked at Ren Yaohua in surprise: “Third Dousin? Does he want something from me?” Ren Yaohua saw Ren Yaoqi’s expression, as if she really didn’t know, so she turned her sight away: “How do I know. He must have seen you rarely appear in Grandmother’s yard, and asked casually.” Ren Yaoqi smiled and said, “Third Cousin has always been well-mannered.” Ren Yaohua stroked the teacup, lowered her head to think for a while, then glanced at Ren Yaoqi again, frowning slightly as if she was thinking about something. ”What’s the matter? Third Sister?” It was a rare moment for Ren Yaohua to be mild, Ren Yaoqi smiled and stretched out her palm, and waved in front of her eyes. Ren Yaohua was taken aback, and couldn’t help but glared at Ren Yaoqi. This was the first time Ren Yaoqi made such an intimate action in front of her, and she was a little uncomfortable. Ren Yaoqi’s smile remained unchanged, and she turned her head slightly to look at her: “What are you thinking about?” Ren Yaohua o

Chapter 15: Layout

  Wu Jing’s words made Ren Yaohua look slightly cold. “Who is it?” “Old wife Liu An came from the village not long ago. She and Mrs. Xu, who is on duty in the outer courtyard, are sisters-in-law.” “Mrs. Xu from the gatehouse?” Ren Yaohua was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise, “Mother-in-law of Ying’er?” Wu Jing nodded: “It’s her. The dog brought in by the old wife Liu An today was borrowed from Mrs. Xu.” When Ren Yaohua heard the words, her face was unpredictable, and suddenly she turned her head and glared at Ren Yaoqi: “You really guessed it right! As a result, it wouldn’t be difficult for Fifth Aunt to doubt me.” “Fifth Aunt will soon find out about this relationship.” Ren Yaoqi smiled and looked at Ren Yaohua. Ren Yaohua’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he took a few steps around the room. “What’s the relationship between Ying’er and her mother-in-law?” Ren Yaoqi was not as anxious as Ren Yaohua, but instead inquired about unrelated things. Wu Jing hurriedly said: “This slav
