The two elders of the Ren family had a very clear plan, which was to make the inner courtyard of the Lei family completely under their own control.
"I'm just asking you to learn how to pick. I'm not asking you to pick them away right now," said Mrs. Ren.
Ren Yaoqi readily agreed and smiled: "Then I will wait for grandma to choose for me."
Seeing that she was obedient and submissive, Mrs. Ren was very satisfied.
Ren Yaohua glanced at Ren Yaoqi, but saw a hint of sarcasm and ridicule in her smile, which made her extremely disappointed and angry mood improve a little.
In the end, Old Lady Ren made the decision to select four maids herself, and the two most striking ones were among the chosen ones. The Ren family had arranged eight maids for Ren Yaoqi's dowry, and four more needed to be chosen from among the Ren family's own sons. The four chosen today were just to be Lei Ting's concubines.
After selecting the maid, the Ren family would diligently train her. None of this mattered to Ren Yaohua. Ever since Ren Yaohua had said the words "break off the engagement" to Lei Ting, the Ren family had lost trust in her. Even Old Lady Ren, who had once doted on Ren Yaohua, wished she could be retrained. What use was there in a disobedient daughter who hindered her family at a crucial moment? If a last-minute replacement was necessary, the Ren family would absolutely refuse to let Ren Yaohua marry into the Lei family.
Old Madam Ren was also very busy. After the maid finished choosing, she asked the three sisters to leave. She never paid any attention to Ren Yaohua from beginning to end. How similar was this deliberate neglect and contempt to how she treated Ren Yaoying back then?
Because Old Lady Ren hadn't told Ren Yaohua to return to the ancestral hall, Ren Yaoqi dragged Ren Yaohua to Ziwei Courtyard. Along the way, Ren Yaoying deliberately lagged behind them a few steps, her eyes flickering. It wasn't clear if she was afraid Ren Yaohua would take it out on her or if she had some ulterior motive.
However, Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi didn't even glance at her. It was only when they were about to part that Ren Yaoying stepped forward and said with a guilty look on her face, "Third sister, I, I really didn't know that Grandma would make such a decision. I know you must be unhappy. I will go to Grandma later and tell her that I don't want to go to the Starlight World."
Ren Yaoqi didn't say anything, but Ren Yaohua finally set her sights on Ren Yaoying. She looked at Ren Yaoying carefully for a long time, and she found that she could actually see the opposite of pride and excitement on this face full of guilt and sadness.
Ren Yaoying's face finally froze under Ren Yaohua's calm and unpredictable gaze.
Ren Yaohua retracted her gaze, took Ren Yaoqi's hand, and walked past Ren Yaoying. Although Ren Yaohua said nothing, Ren Yaoying inexplicably felt a sense of pressure, and this sudden pressure made her take a step back. When she came to her senses, she stared at Ren Yaohua's back in surprise, feeling a little humiliated and a little unconvinced. She felt vaguely that there was something different about Ren Yaohua, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
Ren Yaoqi also glanced at Ren Yaohua and then smiled.
Ren Yaohua glanced at Ren Yaoqi: "What's wrong?"
