  Née Li was even more surprised when she heard this. Ren Yaoqi is different from Ren Yaohua, she is not favored by the Old Madam since she was young, so she has an aversion going to Ronghua Courtyard. Usually, except for the morning and evening greetings, she would not go as much as possible. Ren Yaoqi knew what née Li was thinking: “I happened to be looking for Fourth Sister, so I will also stop by to have a look, Mother, don’t worry.” Seeing her insistence, née Li couldn’t say anything more, but said to Ren Yaohua: “Hua’er, should you also go and have a look?” In the past, née Li would never have said such a thing, but recently the relationship between the sisters Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua has eased, which is evident to née Li and a few close people around her. ”No need, I’ll go back as soon as I went there, Third Sister will stay and talk to you.” Ren Yaoqi went out while talking.

But rarely losing his temper doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a temper. In Ren Shimin’s study, there used to be a servant who was serving brush and ink and stole one of his inkstones and went out to exchange it for silver. This servant has been by his side since he was a child, and was the nephew of his momo. He has done these kinds of petty theft a few times, and Ren Shimin has never cared much about such external things, so he turned a blind eye. Unexpectedly, Ren Shimin was furious at that time. Not paying attention to the momo’s crying and begging, he immediately ordered the steward to beat the little servant with 50 big boards and afterward carry him to the government. The servant endured for three days and finally died in prison. Because there is a law in the Great Zhou Dynasty, if a servant commits the crime of murdering the master, adu...
