Two chapters combined into one

*************

Because of his experiences in his previous life, Ren Yaoqi had a different understanding of his maternal grandfather, King Xian's family, than outsiders, and also developed a heartfelt affection for them.

It is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide timely assistance.

If someone stands up to you and helps you without any purpose when you despair of the world, you will understand this feeling.

Ren Yaoqi suppressed his chaotic emotions, stood up, and asked Xiangqin, "Where did they go? How long have they been gone?"

Xiang Qin hurriedly said, "After you and I went to the bathroom, Third Sister left. She wanted to tell you, but she's impatient. She was afraid... afraid that Master Uncle might be in trouble again, so she went looking for him first. If she doesn't come back after three or four quarters of an hour, I'll have you tell me so I can help cover it up for you in front of the other masters."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but smile bitterly at this. She wasn't worried her uncle was in trouble; she was afraid he'd cause them trouble. The last time her uncle sold his house to buy a cricket, it had infuriated her. She was afraid he'd do something ridiculous again. Because every time Li You left home, something bad was bound to happen.

Moreover, Ren Yaohua didn't want other people in the Ren family to see Li You. In her heart, this uncle not only could not support her mother, but also would always hinder them. She felt ashamed to be associated with him.

In her previous life, Ren Yaohua had never had a good attitude towards those people in Prince Xian's Mansion. She even once followed Nanny Zhou to send money to her maternal grandfather's house, and brought a few matchmakers to challenge her grandfather to sell those "actors" and never give them money again.

The grandfather, who had always been as calm as a dough figurine, got angry that time. He threw the silver at Ren Yaohua's feet, picked up a horse whip used in opera and whipped her out. He would never allow her to enter the Li family again and he would not recognize this granddaughter.

Although my grandfather still accepted the money that Li sent to her mother's family later without hesitation, he was always cold to Ren Yaohua.

However, Ren Yaohua hadn't returned for nearly an hour. Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Ren Yaoqi had no choice but to quietly send a few trusted maids to look for her.

Finally, the temple sent someone over with the meal ready, and asked Ren Yaoqi to go over and have the meal.

Ren Yaoqi could only secretly send people to continue looking for her while he went to see the first wife, Wang.

Fortunately, the eldest wife wanted to discuss the Liu family's affairs with the eldest young lady and didn't care about the meal. She just let them eat in the room arranged by them in the temple.

Listening to what the eldest wife and the eldest young lady said, the two sisters of the Liu family cried in front of Mrs. Liu and complained that the people of the Ren family took advantage of their numbers to insult them.

However, after learning about the words the Liu sisters had cursed Ren Yijun, the eldest wife was so angry that she trembled. Instead of blaming Ren Yaoqi for helping Ren Yijun teach the Liu sisters a lesson, she was very kind to her. No mother could tolerate others cursing her child for a short life.

So when Mrs. Liu asked the Ren family to show sincerity, they would keep quiet. Otherwise, she would ruin the reputation of the Ren family. The eldest wife just sneered at her.

An old maid beside the eldest wife looked at her expression and said to Madam Liu with disdain, "Our young master isn't afraid of anything. It's just that your daughter just casually invited our young master aside to chat when they first met, without even a servant by her side. Is she rushing to become a concubine in our Ren family? To be honest, our Ren family is wealthy and powerful, so we don't mind having one or two more freeloaders."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Liu family's faces suddenly turned ugly. The eldest wife lowered her head and took a sip of tea, pretending not to hear the servant's insolence.

A good blind date turned into a tense situation.

However, in the end, for the sake of the reputation of both families, everyone tacitly let the matter go. As for the Liu family's attempt to use this as a means of blackmailing the Ren family, they succeeded in their previous life, so it was just a thought in this life.
