The Plot of a Concubine's Revenge

Chapter 15 Layout

Wuhua's words caused Ren Yaohua's face to turn slightly cold, and a glint flashed in her eyes, as if she was pondering something important.

“What kind of person?” Ren Yaohua's voice was low, carrying a bit of urgency and seriousness, wanting to figure out the truth behind it as soon as possible.

“That Liu An family's came up from the manor not too long ago, she's a sister-in-law with the Xu granny on duty in the outer courtyard's concierge.” Wujing replied, with a bit of certainty and seriousness in her voice, as if she was reporting an important piece of information to Ren Yaohua.

“Granny Xu from the gatehouse?” Ren Yaohua froze, stunned, “Ying'er's mother-in-law?” A trace of surprise and disbelief flashed through her eyes, as if she did not expect the matter to involve Ying'er's mother-in-law.

Wujing nodded, “It is precisely her. The dog that the Six An family brought in today was precisely the one borrowed from Granny Xu.” Her words carried a bit of certainty and detail, as if she was uncovering a layer of fog for Ren Yaohua.

When Ren Yaohua heard this, her face changed color, suddenly she turned her head and glared at Ren Yaohua, “I really let you guess right! In that case, it would be hard for Auntie Five if she didn't want to suspect me.” A trace of anxiety and worry flashed across her eyes, as if she was feeling uneasy about what would happen next.

“This relationship Auntie Five will also be able to find out soon.” Ren Yaoqi smiled and looked towards Ren Yaohua, with a few moments of calmness and composure in her eyes, as if she had already anticipated all of this.

Ren Yaohua's eyes narrowed slightly as she took a few steps around the room, seemingly thinking of some countermeasure.

“How is Ying'er's relationship with her mother-in-law?” Ren Yaozhi was not as anxious as Ren Yaohua, instead prying into irrelevant matters, with a few moments of curiosity and probing in her voice.

Wujing busily said, “The slave girl heard Sister Zhu'er say that Sister Ying'er had good luck that day, that her in-laws held her in high regard, and that her family man was also an honest and straightforward one. Sister Ying'er has always spoken her mind at home.” Her words carried a bit of envy and admiration, as if she was happy for Ying'er's good fortune.

“Saying one thing or another?” Ren Yaoqi raised her eyebrows slightly, chewing on these words carefully, a glint flashed in her eyes, as if she had discovered some important clue from them.

“Heh!” Ren Yaohua laughed coldly, “What a saying!” A hint of sarcasm and disdain flashed in her eyes, as if she was mocking Ying'er's arrogance and cockiness.

Ren Yaohua looked at Ren Yaohua and laughed, “If not, how could this stolen goods be planted on you? It must be that you secretly instructed your former maid to mobilize her family to give you a head start.” Her words carried a bit of certainty and analysis, as if she had already seen through the conspiracy behind it.

“What is to be done now? We can't just let that b***h have her way and hide in the shadows to reap the benefits, right?” Ren Yaohua gritted her teeth and said, her voice carrying a few moments of anger and unwillingness, as if she was feeling indignant about her situation.

“The way? ...... naturally there is.” Ren Yaohua thought for a moment and slowly said, his voice carrying a few moments of mystery and confidence, as if he already had a plan to deal with it.

Ren Yaohua stared over, his eyes filled with anticipation and eagerness, wanting to know what exactly Ren Yaoyi had in store.

After Ren Yaohua came out of the main room, she called Sister Zhu. When Li and Ren Yaohua went to the manor, the biggest supervisor in the Purple Violet Courtyard was Sister Zhu, which made her really shine for a while. But since Ren Yaohua came back, she couldn't get her hands dirty in the Ziwei Courtyard's affairs. Therefore, these days, Sister Zhu's life is also extremely difficult, she even thought of going to ask Auntie Fang. She even thought of going to ask Auntie Fang, but Auntie Fang has not seen anyone in the past few days, and I heard that she has contracted a wind chill and is not feeling well.

“Why is Sister listless?” Ren Yaoqi sized up Sister Zhu for a few moments and frowned, her voice carrying a few hints of concern and doubt.

Sister Zhu looked around and came over to Ren Yaoyi's side with a sniffle and a tear, “Aigoo! Miss, you don't know! These past few days have not been easy for the slave girl! The third young lady doesn't like you, and treats us, your servants, with a good face. Yesterday, the steward moved a few vases out of the storehouse, and I saw that one of them was a sky blue and rainy color that you had wanted to place in the hall to insert plum branches in the winter. But the steward said that this vase is to find out for the third miss. The slave girl begged several times in a good voice, but in the end was the third miss side of a few tricky maids to humiliate a meal! Slave girl this old face oh ......” Her words carried a few points of aggrievement and helplessness, as if she was telling Ren Yaoyi about her misfortune.

Ren Yaohua flared up: ''Outrageous! Ren Yaohua really bullied people too much!” A trace of anger and dissatisfaction flashed through her eyes, as if she was feeling indignant at what happened to Sister Zhu.

Sister Zhu stole a glance at Ren Yaohua and saw that she was indeed furious, so she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. She heard the maids in the courtyard say that the relationship between Third Miss and Fifth Miss in these few days wasn't as tense as it used to be. However, she was most aware of Ren Yaohua's temperament, especially after also receiving a slap from Ren Yaohua, it was impossible to swallow this breath.

“That's right! Miss, you are also the first born of Madam, but when it comes to Third Miss, you are not even as good as a concubine sister!” Sister Zhu's words carried a bit of agitation and provocation, as if trying to stir up Ren Yaoyi's fighting spirit.

Ren Yaoyi thought about it and suddenly laughed. Sister Zhu froze, somewhat puzzled, “Miss?”

Ren Yaoqi beckoned towards Sister Zhu, who brought her ears closer.

“Don't worry, Sister, I'll help you out with this! Originally I wanted to put up with her for mother's sake, but I didn't want Ren Yaohua to be so arrogant after only coming back for a few days, and scolding me whenever she wanted to, I don't want to put up with her anymore, and I will definitely get her to the manor again in order to relieve my heart's hatred!” Ren Yaohua's words carried a bit of determination and ruthlessness, as if she had already made up her mind to deal with Ren Yaohua.

Sister Zhu's face was delighted, and she busily said, “Then do you have a method, Miss?” No wonder there has not been any trouble in the past few days, so it turns out that the fifth young miss is looking for an opportunity.

Ren Yaohua nodded, “This is natural. I discovered a secret of Ren Yaohua today!” A hint of mystery and complacency flashed in her eyes, as if she had already grasped Ren Yaohua's handle.

“What secret?” Sister Zhu froze, her heart filled with curiosity and doubt, wanting to know what secret Ren Yaohua had.

Ren Yaohua smiled, “You know what happened in grandmother's courtyard today, right? The eighth sister was grounded.” Her words carried a few hints of flirting and teasing, as if she was laughing at what happened to Ren Yaoyu.

Sister Zhu thought for a moment and carefully said, “I heard that it was the two maids around the eighth sister who brought dirty things into the inner courtyard?” Her words carried a bit of caution and tentativeness, as if she was trying to confirm the truth of the matter.

“In fact, it's not at all about the eighth sister, this is Ren Yaohua behind it!” Ren Yaohua bit out, with a few moments of certainty and affirmation in her voice, as if she had already grasped conclusive evidence.

Sister Zhu's eyes twinkled, “Miss is this true?” Her words carried a bit of skepticism and uncertainty, as if she was trying to verify if Ren Yaoyi's words were true.

Ren Yaoyi slanted a glance at Sister Zhu, “Naturally it's true, I did hear that the granny who slandered the eighth sister this morning was Ren Yaohua's person. As long as I go and tell Auntie 5 about this, do you think Auntie 5 will spare her? She just came back and did this kind of thing to frame the sisters, grandmother will certainly send her to the farm again! This time if she wants to return to the house again, it won't be so simple.” Her words carried a bit of smugness and calculation, as if she had already seen Ren Yaohua being kicked out of the residence.

Sister Zhu pondered for a while, thinking that with the Fifth Mistress's temperament, she would indeed not let Ren Yaohua have a good time.

“Miss is right, after getting rid of the fifth miss, you are still the biggest in this courtyard!” Sister Zhu's words carried a few hints of flattery and currying favor, as if she was trying to please Ren Yaohua.

Thus, Ren Yaoyi took Sister Zhu to the Fifth Mistress' courtyard.

The Fifth Mistress had just come back from secretly seeing Ren Yaoyu at the ancestral hall and was worried about how to get her daughter out. Hearing the news that Ren Yaoyu had come over, she was still a bit strange.

When Ren Yaoyu finished her salute, the fifth wife didn't bother to exchange pleasantries with her and directly said, “You are a rare guest.” Her words carried a bit of coldness and displeasure, seemingly not interested in Ren Yaoyi's arrival.

Knowing that the Fifth Mistress had disliked them ever since, Ren Yaoqi opened the door and repeated her previous words to Sister Zhu.

Sure enough, after the Fifth Mistress froze, she gritted her teeth in hatred, “Ren Yaohua! How dare she!” A trace of anger and shock flashed through her eyes, as if she was feeling indignant at Ren Yaohua's audacity.

Ren Yaohua shared the same hatred as the fifth wife, “What wouldn't she dare? You don't know, since she came back, I've been bullied by her to mix it up! She slapped me in the face for no reason, and today she called me over to give me a hard lesson! I, Ren Yaoqi, am at war with her!” Her words carried a bit of excitement and indignation.
