Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but chuckle when she heard that. Her third sister-in-law always spoke in such a funny way.

Ren Yijun also laughed, but after a while his expression turned serious again. "By the way, Second Young Master Xiao's health might not be as good as mine. He must have taken a lot of medicine over the years. You should be careful about the children after you get married. After all, the Yanbei Palace is not a small family like ours. It's useless to regret anything that happens."

Now it was Ren Yaoqi's turn to be embarrassed.

However, what Ren Yijun said was not without reason, and Xiao Jingxi's "illness" was different from others. He was poisoned. Ren Yaoqi thought that he was not afraid of spider venom before. If Xiao Jingxi had taken medicine in recent years, he must have used poison to fight poison.

Although Ren Yaoqi didn't say it, she was still worried.

However, Ren Yaoqi also believed in the saying, "What's destined to happen will happen, and what's not destined to happen should be forced." If Xiao Jingxi's body wasn't suited to childbearing, she wouldn't complain. She had chosen this path, and she had no regrets. Her only concern was that Xiao Jingxi no longer had any blood brothers. If he couldn't have an heir, the power struggle within the Yanbei Palace would likely intensify over time.

However, these are not what Ren Yaoqi should worry about at this time. She thinks it is better not to think about these things at this time. Things will work out when the time comes. There will always be a solution.

"By the way, do you know who was the person who wanted to buy the Ren family's ancestral home a while ago?" Ren Yaoqi asked, changing the subject.

Ren Yijun didn't dwell on the previous topic. After hearing this, he thought for a moment and said, "My father mentioned that there was a foreign merchant whose family was in the seafood business and had a lot of money. When he came to the Ren family, he brought a silver note worth 100,000 taels and said the price was negotiable." Ren Yijun sneered, "It seems like he has too much money to burn. How could that shabby house be worth 100,000 taels?"

Ren Yaoqi raised an eyebrow: "The Ren family didn't agree?"

Ren Yijun curled his lips and said, "More than just disagreeing, my eldest brother said at the time that it's not impossible to sell it, but the old man flew into a rage. Although he can't speak now, he still has the majesty of a family head when he glares. My father gave my eldest brother a lecture. In fact, we all think that my eldest brother's idea makes sense. The Ren family is not what it used to be. I heard that even several mines are about to be lost. What's the point of holding on to this house? If this is really where the Ren family has lived for hundreds of years, it is understandable that they are reluctant to give up what their ancestors left behind. But our Ren family has only moved in for a few decades, so it's a bit of a stretch to call it the ancestral home."

Ren Yijun didn't know, but Ren Yaoqi knew clearly that their great-grandfather was quite ambitious. He wanted to make the Ren family one of the famous families in Yanbei, and he worked hard for this all his life. He even considered the future of the Ren family when he left his will.

The Ren family’s “ancestral home” is the face of the Ren family. If it is really sold, the Ren family will be further and further away from their goal.

Besides, there is a big secret in the Ren family's ancestral home. (To be continued...) This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
