Chapter 8: 4.2

Chapter 4 (Part 2): Conflict

When Ren Yaohua heard that, she raised her chin a little and said scornfully, “Have me apologizing to her? Wait until the next lifetime!”

“Hua Er!” Née helplessly rebuked her lightly.

When she turned around to look at Ren Yaoqi who had kept her tears and still kneeling in front of her bed, Née Li was caught in a dilemma. “Qi Er*, your elder sister, she didn’t mean it, you…”

*T/n: Referring to Ren Yaoqi

But when she saw the ghastly red swelling on Ren Yaoqi’s face, Née Li could not continue speaking. She could only discuss with her elder daughter, “Hua Er, on your mum’s account, can’t you just take a step back and make a concession?”

When Ren Yaohua saw the anxious expression on her exhausted face, she bit her lips.

She did not want to make her mum sad, but she could not put down her pride and apologize to Ren Yaoqi so it was inevitable that she was a little stiff.

“Never mind, Mother, there’s no need.” Ren Yaoqi sighed softly and suddenly raised her head to look at Née Li.

Née Li stared blankly for a moment and Ren Yaohua also looked over with her eyebrows knitted as if she could not believe that these words were uttered from her mouth.

Ren Yaoqi supported herself with the side of Née Li’s bed and stood up.

She recalled that in her previous lifetime, when she met Ren Yaohua after she recovered from her illness, she also received a slap from her.

After that, when they were before Mother, Mother also had Ren Yaohua apologize but she felt that Mother was biased towards Ren Yaohua. Otherwise, she should also at the least let her return two slaps back and not just dismiss it lightly with a word of apology.

When she was young, there were often people around her saying that it was due to her birth that made Mother not favored by her mother-in-law in the Ren Family, therefore not only did Paternal Grandmother did not like her, Mother also loathed her. Otherwise, she also would not side with Elder Sister and make her feel aggrieved.  

When these types of matters happened a lot, Ren Yaoqi thus believed. Hence, the relationship between her and her mother Née Li always had estrangement.  

Ren Yaoqi called Née Li ‘mum’ but Ren Yaoqi had always called her ‘Mother’.

It was the same manner of address as her concubine-born Ninth Younger Sister and Sixth Younger Brother.

Once Ren Yaoqi raised her head, she saw Née Li looking at her cautiously.

When Née Li saw that she had been discovered, she quickly said, “Qi…Qi Er, you’re the most obedient, you’re much more sensible than your elder sister.” It was a tone to comfort children.

Wet Nurse Zhou who was one side also smiled at an appropriate time. “This servant was saying that when I saw Fifth Miss just now, I already felt that she was a little different. So it turns out that she has grown up and become sensible. Madam, you can be relieved in the future.”

Née Li nodded insipidly. “That’s right.” As she thought about the injury on Ren Yaoqi’s face, she quickly instructed Wet Nurse Zhou, “Quickly go use a hot handkerchief to lay it out on Qi Er and apply medicine, otherwise, it will definitely be painful tonight.”

Wet Nurse glanced at Ren Yaohua, then glanced at Ren Yaoqi. She was a little worried about having the sisters stay at the same place but Née Li kept urging her so she could only hastily go out.

The room was only left with the three mother and daughters but it had quietened down. In the end, it was still Née Li who pulled Ren Yaoqi to sit at her bedside and broke the silence by asking, “Qi Er, have you been well in the residence in this year? Did you suffer any grievances?”

Ren Yaoqi shook her head. “I have been very well. I didn’t suffer any grievances.”

“Oh, you have your father protecting you from the side. She also doesn’t dare to wrong you.” Née Li looked at her as she murmured.

“Ha!” Ren Yaohua snorted coldly in ridicule.

Ren Yaoqi looked down. “Mother, have you just drunk your medicine? You should still rest today. I’ll come to visit you again tomorrow.” She went forward to support Née Li to lie down.

Née Li did not reject her good intentions but pulled Ren Yaoqi’s hand and did not let go after she lied down. “Qi Er, let Wet Nurse Zhou apply medicine before you go, is that alright?”

Ren Yaoqi nodded and silently sat beside Née Li’s bed.

Ren Yaohua stood at one side and carried scrutinization in her gaze it coldly landed on Ren Yaoqi.

On the other hand, Née Li pulled Ren Yaoqi’s hand and smiled as she looked at her, “Qi Er, you have really grown up.”

At this moment, Wet Nurse who had originally gone out returned.

“Didn’t I tell you to get hot water?” Née Li asked.

Wet Nurse Zhou hastily walked over. “Madam, this servant has already instructed about the hot water. Concubine Fang has come, saying that she has brought Sixth Young Master and Ninth Young Miss to come pay their respects to you.”

Née Li frowned and said lethargically, “I’m tired already. It’s better to have them go back.”

However, Ren Yaohua snorted coldly. “I don’t see her coming to meet you face to face even after you have returned for so long. What is she coming to do now? Mum, you lie down. I’ll go out to meet her!” She immediately turned around to leave.

“Hua Er——” Née Li called out. However, Ren Yaohua had already lifted the curtain and walked out of the west secondary room. Née Li could only let her go.

Wet Nurse Zhou told Née Li, “This servant will follow her to take a look.”

Née Li nodded and Wet Nurse Zhou left to follow Ren Yaohua.

Ren Yaoqi sat for a while as she accompanied Née Li. After contemplating about it, she still decided to say, “Mother, I’ll go out to look for people to apply medicine for me. Please rest first.”

Née Li thought that Wet Nurse Zhou was probably not able to come back in a short while and quickly nodded. “In that case, you should quickly go.”

Ren Yaoqi helped Née Li to tidy up her blanket and also withdrew.

She had only exited the west secondary Room when she heard voices from the east secondary room.
 

When she walked closer, she heard a voice which was still a little immature crying while cursing, “Establish what rules? Even Maternal Grandmother didn’t say that she wants to establish new rules! What are you? What gives you the right to berate my Concubine Mother!”
