Chapter 35: Making the Best Use of the Situation

  These momos were originally found by Concubine Fang from the village, and they were more or less related to the momos and maids who were used in the yards of the masters of the estate. It was originally Concubine Fang’s trap against Ren Yaohua, but Ren Yaoqi persuaded her to let them remain. Now that they have made such a big mistake, the evidence is conclusive, and it was Third Master who wanted to drive them away, so naturally, it was impossible to relate to the Li mother and daughters. In the beginning, these momos were unwilling to sit still and went around asking for connections. However, the entire Ren family is well aware of Third Master Ren’s temper.
