Chapter 803 [Mistress of the House 8]
Cao Wenbin and Li Zhao stood together, whispering something to each other. At this moment, the Ren family was in the midst of a fierce struggle, and it seemed that there would be a wonderful drama to watch today.
At this tense moment, several uncles suddenly called Youyou to their side. They looked solemn and told Youyou earnestly not to let the people of Suzhou City laugh at the Ren family. However, facing the uncles' concerns, Youyou firmly expressed that he believed in Sister Cuixi's ability.
As time passed, each workshop completed its entries one after another. Cao Wenbin and Li Zhao began to appreciate these carefully crafted masterpieces one by one. Cao Wenbin was so impressed when he saw Shen Cuixi's work that he praised it highly.
On the other hand, the work "Apricot Blossoms" by Qingyue Xiaofang, led by Li Zhao, is also eye-catching. This painting is ingenious in its painting technique, using a rare and unique color-inverting method, making the apricot blossoms in the picture vivid and gorgeous.
Li Zhao always favored his own side, so he spared no effort to highly praise his own work. In the end, he announced without hesitation that Qingyue Xiaofang would become the new leader.
Upon hearing the result, Shen Cui was so happy that she was full of indignation. Zeng Baoqin, who was standing by, was also very angry after hearing the news. Just as they were about to step forward to argue, Youyou quickly reached out to stop the two of them and said calmly: "No matter what, we can't win this competition. Even if I were on the field, the result would be the same."
Zeng Baoqin widened her eyes and said in disbelief: "Little sister, how could this be?"
Shen Cuixi looked at Youyou and said seriously, "Youyou, your skills are better than mine. If you participate in the competition this time, you will definitely win!"
However, Youyou shook her head gently and said slowly: "No, Sister Cuixi, no matter how good my skills are, the prefect Li Zhao will never let our Ren family win."
Hearing this, Zeng Xueqin on the side couldn't help but frowned and asked in confusion: "Why is this? Li Zhao is my senior brother, how about I go and check out the situation?"
Youyou waved her hands and advised anxiously, "Sister-in-law, you absolutely can't do that! You are pregnant now, and it is inconvenient for you to move. It is better not to take risks. Besides, do you really know Li Zhao? In fact, there is one more thing... Li Zhao has always had a crush on you, but now you have become the eldest lady of our Ren family. Do you think he will let it go given his temper?"
Zeng Xueqin widened her eyes and said in astonishment: "It's impossible, how could he be such a person?" Obviously, she could not accept this fact no matter what.
Youyou sighed and continued, "Sister-in-law, this is the truth. And in my opinion, my eldest brother's mysterious disappearance is probably related to him."
"What?" Zeng Xueqin was horrified when she heard this, and her voice unconsciously rose an octave. "How dare he do such a thing?"
"Don't worry, sister-in-law! I have always kept this account in mind for him. Sooner or later, I will make him pay it back in full. Also, sister-in-law, you should try to have less contact with him in the future. You know, the situation now is different from the past. I am here in our Ren family, and I will protect everyone and keep you safe no matter what." Youyou said to his sister-in-law seriously.
At the same time, in another part of the Ren family, several elders were sitting together discussing family affairs. They seemed to be arguing over who should be the new head of the family, and some of the elders were inclined to let Ren Rufeng take charge of family affairs. At this time, Ren's mother walked in, she looked at everyone, and slowly asked: "Seventh Uncle, and all the elders, is there something my son did not do well enough? Why do you suddenly want to change the head of the family?"
The seventh uncle shook his head slightly, sighed, and replied, "Ren Youyou's inappropriate behavior this time has caused our Ren family to lose its important position as the leader of the family. From this, it can be seen that she is not a suitable person to be the head of the family. In comparison, Ren Rufeng is more stable and reliable, so the position of the head of the family should be given to him."
Coincidentally, just as Uncle Seven had finished speaking, Youyou happened to walk in from outside and heard every word of what he had just said. She was immediately furious and walked straight to the front of everyone, retorting bluntly: "Uncle Seven, what you said is really unreasonable! My second brother is seriously injured now and can't even take care of himself, so how can he manage the entire family? In my opinion, you and the elders present are already old and have limited energy. It is better to unload this burden as soon as possible, enjoy a good life, and live out your life in peace. Otherwise, if you get tired one day, you don't know if you will get hurt or even lose your life!"
Youyou's words were like a sharp sword piercing people's hearts, and everyone present was stunned. Especially the seventh uncle, who was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Youyou and said tremblingly: "You...you ignorant little kid, how dare you talk to your elders like that! It's so presumptuous!"
"What's wrong with me? I'm telling the truth! Seventh uncle, fellow elders, if I hear you say such gossiping and divisive words again in the future, don't blame me for being rude, I will remove all your positions!" Youyou raised her eyebrows, opened her beautiful eyes wide, and shouted loudly without mercy.
"Mrs. Ren, look at how you teach your daughter. How dare she speak so disrespectfully to her elders!" Seventh Uncle was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, pointing at Youyou and shouted angrily.
Ren's mother knew her daughter's temper very well. She understood that Youyou's action was actually to discipline those people in the family who always took advantage of their seniority. So, Ren's mother rolled her eyes and said, "Seventh Uncle, in my opinion, our Youyou is absolutely right. It is you who are always pushing the issue and being aggressive. Do you really think that we are weak and easy to bully?"
Uncle Seven was choked by these words and was speechless for a long time, his old face flushed red. He never expected that the usually gentle and docile Ren's mother would suddenly join in, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.
"You...you are so unreasonable!" Uncle Seven finally came to his senses and shouted in anger. However, the only response he got was the disdainful looks from Youyou and Ren's mother.
Seeing this, the Seventh Uncle knew he could not get any advantage, so he could only throw his sleeves in hatred and turn away angrily. The other elders looked at each other in dismay, and then followed the Seventh Uncle and walked away quickly.
