As expected, Su went to Yunyang City the next day.
The Zeng family and the Ren family were only in the stage of discussing marriage before, and had not exchanged tokens or engagement letters, so if the Ren family wants to refuse now, the Zeng family will have no other choice even if they are not happy about it.
Su came back in the afternoon of the same day she went to Yunyang City and told Old Lady Ren that the Su family would come forward to help the Ren family and the Zeng family clarify the matter. Old Lady Ren expressed her gratitude to Su.
Over there, Master Ren had already begun working to get Old Master Ren released from prison. However, despite several days of busy work, numerous connections, and considerable financial resources, the government refused to release him. Fortunately, Yang, a lawyer with a good relationship with the Ren family, informed Master Ren that a doctor had been dispatched to the prison to treat Old Master Ren, and that his fever had subsided after a few doses of medicine. The Ren family finally felt relieved.
After Old Master Ren had been in jail for seven or eight days, Master Mu finally agreed to see the eldest master of the Ren family. After Master Ren was released, he had approached Master Mu several times, but Master Mu refused to see anyone from the Ren family again. Even Master Yang was powerless to persuade him.
The Ren family was pleasantly surprised when they heard the news, thinking that the matter had finally taken a turn for the better.
So that day, Master Ren went to see Lord Mu accompanied by Ren Shimao and Lin Kun, while the rest of the Ren family waited anxiously for news at home.
Unexpectedly, Master Ren and his companions were gone for most of the day, and it was already dark when they returned. Old Madam Ren quickly asked someone to invite Master Ren and his companions over for questioning.
Old Madam Ren had originally been in good health. After Master Ren came out, she rested for a few days and was able to get out of bed, but this ordeal made her look quite tired.
Even if Old Madam Ren didn't go to invite Master Ren, Master Ren would still come to Ronghuayuan first, because some important matters had to be discussed with Old Madam Ren or even the people from each branch of the Ren family.
When Old Madam Ren saw Master Ren coming, she immediately asked, "What's going on? Have the authorities agreed to release the person?"
Master Ren sighed wearily, "Mother, please ask my third brother and my second brother from the East Mansion to come over. I'm afraid there are some things I can't make decisions on my own."
When Mrs. Ren heard what he said, and saw that Master Ren Wu and Lin Kun, who had returned with Master Ren Da, both had serious expressions on their faces, her heart sank. She immediately ordered her maid to go to the East Palace to invite someone. She also asked someone to call Ren Shimin over.
After the Second Master of the East Palace and Ren Shimin arrived, the First Master Ren said, "Lord Mu has relented today."
Everyone was delighted when they heard this. Old Madam Ren breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest and saying somewhat reproachfully, "It's a good thing the government has relented. You guys scared me."
Master Ren sighed and said, "It's a good thing that they're willing to release him, but the Ren family will have to pay a price."
Master Ren Er frowned and asked, "What's the price?"
Master Ren Wu said, "Lord Mu said that this incident is of such serious consequence that my father couldn't be released. However, considering that our Ren family is just an ordinary merchant family and hasn't had any criminals over the years, and that the Yanbei Palace has some impression of our Ren family, they agreed to give him a lighter sentence."
