Chapter 4: Conflict
There was a deathly silence under the eaves, and only the sound of falling snow could be heard.
The maids and women standing next to them all held their breath and didn't dare to make a sound, but the eyes of the two who looked at Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua cautiously were a little nervous.
Ren Yaohua's cold eyes stared at Ren Yaoqi, and after seeing that she was slapped, she just covered her cheeks and pursed her lips and looked at her without saying a word, and did not pounce to slap her back, although she felt a little strange in her heart, but the grievances she had received over the past few days made the hatred in her heart prevail, and she raised her hand to fan again without saying a word.
At this time, the curtain of the main room moved again, and a woman in her forties, with a long figure and slightly white temples, walked out.
As soon as she saw the confrontation between the two people under the corridor, her face changed, and when she saw that Ren Yaohua wanted to dodge over, she hugged Ren Yaoqi in her arms and protected her, and said to Ren Yaohua with a serious face: "Third Miss, we just returned home today, what are you doing?" Don't forget that my wife is still sick. On the other hand, he quietly glanced at Ren Yaohua.
Ren Yaohua saw the anxiety and worry in her grandmother's eyes, thinking that her mother was still sick, gritted her teeth, put her hand down, and looked at Ren Yaoqi's gaze was still cold.
Ren Yaoqi saw the interaction between the two of them in her eyes, Mama Zhou looked at her face to protect her from being beaten by Ren Yaohua, and hugged her arms tightly but hugged her arms together, so that she couldn't move, this was to prevent her from rushing up to find Ren Yaohua to take revenge.
"Fifth Miss, don't make a fuss, okay, Mrs. She's sick, go in and see her." Mama Zhou lowered her head and coaxed Ren Yaoqi with a straight face.
Ren Yaochi nodded and motioned for Mama Zhou to let go of her.
Mama Zhou originally thought that she would have to use her tongue to persuade Ren Yaoqi, but she didn't want Ren Yaoqi to admit her loss this time, she couldn't help but be stunned, and then carefully looked at Ren Yaoqi's expression.
Ren Yaochi covered his face and lowered his eyes slightly, without too much emotion on his face.
Mama Zhou tried to let go of her hand slowly, but Ren Yaoqi really didn't make any other moves, just bypassed Ren Yaohua and lifted the curtain and entered the main room.
The overall layout of the crape myrtle courtyard is short and long, so although it can be regarded as a large courtyard with three entrances, the main room is only three, but fortunately, the rooms are very spacious.
The bright room in the middle is the main hall, and the east room can be used to meet guests, and a large kang table is placed on the kang table near the window and is a place for daily meals. The second room in the west is the bedroom, and there is a small clean room in the room, which has a small door that opens to the north, so that hot water can be brought in from the backyard of the third entrance.
Ren Yaoqi walked straight to the west room, where there was a bed in the open hall with thousands of carvings next to the north wall, and the newly replaced red silk tent was hung on the copper hook of the bedpost, and a woman in her thirties was lying on the bed.
The woman had a goose egg face, thick hair, and a very beautiful face, but her face was a sickly white, and her lips were not bloody.
"Mother......" Ren Yaoqi walked to the side of the bed gently, looked at the woman who was not sad even with her eyes closed, and choked up and called softly.
Her voice was not loud, but the woman on the bed moved her eyelashes and opened her eyes. She has a pair of charming apricot eyes, and Ren Yaohua's eyes are ten points like her.
She seemed to be very sleepy, but when she saw Ren Yaoqi in front of her clearly, she smiled gently, and beckoned to her: "Period? Come here and let my mother see if you have grown taller. ”
Ren Yaoqi stepped forward quickly, threw himself into the corridor outside the bed in the open hall and knelt down, buried his face in Li's chest and cried "whining".
Seeing Ren Yaochi crying miserably, Li couldn't help but be stunned, she put her hand on Ren Yaoqi's head and touched it, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”
At this time, the curtain was lifted, and Ren Yaohua and Mama Zhou walked in.
When Ren Yaohua saw Ren Yaohua crying on Li's body, her anger immediately rose, and she sneered: "What can she do?" Didn't I just accuse you that I hit her again? I thought she had been in the house for a year, and she had been trained by that slut and could grow a lot, but she didn't want to be so ignorant, she would just put a cold arrow in the back of people! ”
As he spoke, he strode forward and grabbed Ren Yaoqi's arm to pull her out.
Ren Yaoqi's body was not all right, and she was pulled so suddenly that she accidentally fell to the ground, her face was raised, and the five finger prints on her left face were also impressively presented in Li's eyes.
Li exclaimed in surprise, braced himself and tried to sit up, but he lost his strength and fell down.
"Mother-" Ren Yaoqi shook Ren Yaohua's hand away and stepped forward to see the Li family.
Ren Yaohua didn't care about Ren Yaoqi, she pushed Ren Yaoqi away, stepped forward to help Li, saw that she was about to get up, helped her sit at the head of the bed, and put a soft pillow in the bed on Li's back: "Mother, you just drank the medicine, what are you doing when you get up?" ”
Li Shi pulled Ren Yaoqi over, held her face and took a closer look, and looked at Ren Yaohua reproachfully: "Hua'er, how can you put such a heavy hand on your sister!" ”
Ren Yaohua glanced at the five finger prints on Ren Yaoqi's face, and said coldly: "If it weren't for Mama Zhou to stop her, I would definitely reward her with a few more slaps." ”
Ren Yaoqi's left face was already a little red and swollen, Li Shi looked at the distressed tightness, Ren Yaohua's words made her a little angry, she frowned and said, "Hua'er! Come over and spend time with your sister! ”
Ren Yaohua raised her chin slightly when she heard this, and said contemptuously: "Am I going to compensate her?" Let's go in the next life! ”
"Hua'er!" Li snorted helplessly.
Turning his head to look at Ren Yaoqi, who had already collected her tears and was still kneeling in front of her bed, Li Shi was left and right, "Period, your sister didn't mean to, you ......"
But seeing the shocking redness and swelling on Ren Yaoqi's face, Li's words couldn't go on, so he could only discuss with his eldest daughter again: "Hua'er, for the sake of your mother, can't you take a step back?" ”
Ren Yaohua bit her lip when she saw the anxious look on Li's tired face.
She didn't want her mother to be sad, but she couldn't do it when she let her put down her self-esteem and apologize to Ren Yaoqi, so she couldn't help but feel a little stiff.
"Forget Mother, you don't have to." Ren Yaoqi sighed lightly, and suddenly looked up at Li Shidao.
Li was stunned, and Ren Yaohua also frowned, as if she didn't believe that these words came out of her mouth.
Ren Yaoqi stood up on the edge of Li's bed.
She remembered that in her previous life, when she was cured, she saw Ren Yaohua and slapped her.
Later, in front of her mother, her mother also asked Ren Yaohua to apologize, but she felt that her mother was partial to Ren Yaohua, otherwise she should have asked her to return the two slaps, instead of saying sorry lightly.
When she was young, someone always said in her ear that because of her birth, her mother would not be liked by her mother-in-law in the Ren family, so not only did her grandmother dislike her, but her mother also hated her, otherwise she would not favor her sister and wronged her every time.
This kind of thing happened a lot, and Ren Yaochi also believed it, so there was always a gap between her and her mother Li.
Ren Yaohua called Li "mother", but Ren Yaochi always called her "mother".
It is the same name as the ninth sister and the sixth brother.
Ren Yaohua looked up and saw Li Shi looking at him cautiously.
Seeing that she looked over, Li Shi hurriedly said: "Period, you are the most well-behaved, much more sensible than your sister." A reassuring child's tone.
Mama Zhou on the side also smiled at the right time and said: "The slave maid said that when I saw Miss Five, I felt a little different, it turned out that I was sensible when I grew up, and you can rest assured in the future, wife." ”
Li nodded and said dryly, "Yes." Thinking about the injury on Ren Yaoqi's face, he hurriedly instructed Mama Zhou, "Go and apply a hot cloth to Qi'er and take medicine, otherwise it will definitely hurt at night." ”
Mama Zhou looked at Ren Yaohua, and then at Ren Yaoqi, a little worried about letting the sisters be together, but the Li family kept urging her, and Mama Zhou could only hurry out.
There were only three mothers and daughters left in the room, but they were quiet, and the last thing was that Li pulled Ren Yaoqi to sit on the edge of her bed and broke the silence and asked, "Qi'er, have you had a good time in the house this year?" Is there any, has there been a grievance? ”
Ren Yaochi shook his head: "I'm fine, I'm not wronged." ”
"Oh, you have your father by your side, she, she doesn't dare to wronged you." Li Shi looked at her and said in a snort.
"Huh!" Ren Yaohua snorted mockingly on the side.
Ren Yaochi lowered her eyes: "Mother, did you just drink the medicine?" Let's rest today, and I'll come back to see you tomorrow. With that, he stepped forward and helped Li Shi to lie down.
Li did not refuse her kindness, but after lying down, he held Ren Yaoqi's hand and did not let go: "Period, let Mama Zhou give you medicine before leaving?" ”
Ren Yaoqi nodded and sat quietly on the edge of Li's bed.
Ren Yaohua stood aside, his eyes falling coldly on Ren Yaoqi with scrutiny.
Li Shi took Ren Yaoqi's hand and looked at her and smiled: "Qi'er, you have really grown up." ”
At this time, Mama Zhou, who had been out of the country, came back.
"Didn't you ask for hot water?" Lee asked.
Mama Zhou hurriedly walked over: "Madam, the hot water slave has already ordered to go down." Aunt Fang came, saying that she had brought the Sixth Young Master and Miss Nine to greet you. ”
Li frowned and said tiredly: "I'm tired, let's let them go back." ”
Ren Yaohua snorted coldly: "You haven't seen her come to take a look at her for so long, what are you doing here." Mother, you lie down, I'll go out to see her! He turned around and left.
"Hua'er-" Li Shi called, but Ren Yaohua had already lifted the curtain and walked out of the West Room, and Li Shi could only let her go.
Mama Zhou said to Li: "Slave and maid go and have a look." ”
Li nodded, and Mama Zhou followed Ren Yaohua.
Ren Yaoqi sat with the Li family for a while, thought about it, and said, "Mother, I'll go out to find someone to rub the medicine for me, you can rest first." ”
Li thought that Mama Zhou was afraid that she wouldn't be able to come back for a while, so she nodded hurriedly: "Then you can go quickly." ”
Ren Yaoqi helped Li sort out the quilt and also withdrew.
Before he left the west room, Ren Yaochi heard a voice coming out of the east room.
When I got closer, I heard a still immature voice crying and scolding: "What rules do you make?" Grandmother didn't say she had to make rules! What are you? Why are you scolding my aunt! ”
