When Rong saw that Ren Yaoqi came to visit her again not long after, she didn't say anything. She asked the kitchen to prepare a few dishes that Ren Yaoqi liked and kept them for her to eat.
While drinking tea after dinner, Rong said, "I heard that the young master of the Zeng family was recalled to Ningxia by General Zeng two days ago."
Ren Yaoqi looked up and said, "Oh? Zeng Yu is worried about leaving his son in Yunyang City?"
During the period when the Ren family was in trouble, several families close to the Zeng family were successively eliminated by the Yanbei Palace. Anyone with a little insight knew that the Yanbei Palace would not tolerate the Zeng family causing trouble under its nose.
Although Ningxia does not belong to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun under the jurisdiction of the Yanbei Palace, the people in power in the Ningxia region have always been supported by the Yanbei Palace, so Ningxia is actually still controlled by the Yanbei Palace.
The kings of northern Yan in all generations regarded it as their responsibility to resist the Northern Di and Western Yi. Similarly, the southern court also lost control of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and Ningxia.
Now that the imperial court has extended its hand to Ningxia, the Yanbei Palace will naturally not sit idly by. At this time, the son of the Ningxia general is safer if he stays in Ningxia.
Rong said, "I'm certainly worried, but I also heard that the Zeng family and the former Ningxia General Wu family are interested in forming an in-law relationship."
Ren Yaoqi was stunned when he heard this: "Wu family? Wu Xiaohe's daughter? Zeng family wants to marry into the Wu family?" Wu Xiaohe only has one daughter, Wu Yiyu.
Rong nodded and smiled. "I heard that the wife of the Wu family had this intention, but the eldest daughter of the Wu family didn't want to. She even said that if the young master of the Zeng family dared to go to Ningxia, she would take his life. Many people are waiting to see the joke."
Ren Yaoqi shook her head. This Wu family's eldest daughter really dared to say anything.
But Wu Yiyu and Zeng Kui...this didn't happen in the previous life.
In his previous life, Zeng Yu did not need to rely on marriage to consolidate his position in Ningxia, and Xiao Wei did not completely turn against the Yanbei Palace at this time.
In this life, Zeng Yu was unable to control the situation in Ningxia and could only seek allies as much as possible. Meanwhile, Xiao Wei, having lost the support of the Yanbei Palace, was eager to maintain her foothold in Ningxia as the widow of the former Ningxia general, and their two sides therefore coincided.
But none of this has anything to do with Ren Yaoqi. As long as Zeng Kui can stay as far away from Ren Yaohua's life as possible, the better.
When Ren Yaoqi was about to say goodbye and leave her grandparents' home, Rong suddenly called her over, smoothed her hair, and said softly, "Qi'er, as a woman, you only have one chance to make a choice in your life. Grandmother hopes you can be cautious."
Ren Yaoqi was slightly startled: "Grandma..."
Rong patted her hand gently and said, "Grandmother knows that you are a good child and know how to behave properly. I don't mean any other by saying this. I just hope that you won't regret the decision you made when you were young."
Ren Yaoqi was silent for a while, then asked softly, "Do you regret it?"
Rong was stunned when she heard this, then smiled and shook her head. She sighed, "No regrets, not even now."
Ren Yaoqi thought about it, nodded, and said to Rong: "I understand, grandma."
Rong sighed softly, touched her head, and said nothing more.
On the way back from Rong's place, Ren Yaoqi kept thinking about Rong's words: "No regrets. I still don't regret it."
Rong Shi was chosen by Consort Wan to be the principal wife of Prince Xian, so her family background must be quite high. However, her family was implicated by Prince Xian and her family members were scattered. She herself also fell from being the principal wife of a prince to this situation. However, she could still smile and say in front of her that she had no regrets.
