Ren Shimin had always believed that Ren Yaoqi treated Han Yunqian differently. He wasn't wrong, but he was thinking in the wrong direction.
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "Dad, the reason why I am so concerned about the Han family is just because I think the Han family's behavior is a little weird."
"Weird? Why is the Han family weird?" Ren Shimin asked puzzledly.
Ren Yaoqi said to Ren Shimin sternly, "In Han Yunqian's grandfather's generation, the Han family was merely a landowner with a modest fortune. It wasn't until Han Yunqian's father showed up and won over the Han family's head, using the family's accumulated assets to complete several deals, that the Han family gradually began to gain a foothold in Jizhou. Logically, Jizhou is one of the most prosperous prefectures in northern Yan, and the Han family was born and raised there. Whether for connections or geographical advantages, there was no need for them to relocate from Jizhou, where they had just established themselves among the wealthy, to Baihe Town in Yanzhou. Furthermore, the Han family isn't exactly a prestigious family, but their rules are more strict than anyone else's. Even leaving the house is difficult for a Han family woman. But Han Yunqian and Sister Han's conversation doesn't seem like that of a shallow-minded person. Abnormality is demonic, and the Han family makes me feel uneasy."
Ren Shimin frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head and smiled. "Why do you keep thinking about these baseless things all day? Perhaps the Han family relocated for some unavoidable reason, and the strict family traditions are simply because the elders are overly concerned about their children. Besides, the Han family didn't just appear out of thin air, and they know their roots well. We have no grudges or enmity with the Han family, so why would they plot against us so hard? And even if they wanted to, with your grandfather here, would you be afraid that the Ren family would suffer?"
Ren Shimin's words were quite straightforward, and he was well aware of his father's shrewd character.
Ren Yaoqi felt helpless. Even Ren Shimin didn't believe her. Who else in the Ren family would believe the "random guesses" of a girl in her early teens?
Even if she hadn't experienced this in her previous life, she wouldn't have believed someone telling her that the Han family was all treacherous and evil. Over the years, while Han had kept a low profile, he was also an honest businessman. Everyone from the Han family was also humble, polite, and well-mannered.
She couldn't tell anyone about her past life's experiences. If anyone from the Ren family heard about it, the first thing they would think of would be to burn this "evil spirit" of hers to death or send her to the Lunatic Tower, Ren Yaoqi thought sarcastically.
Knowing that further arguments would be useless, Ren Yaoqi stopped trying to argue. He sat down and played a game of chess with Ren Shimin before saying goodbye and leaving the greenhouse.
Ren Shimin also reminded her: "If you hate Han Yunqian, just stay away from him and don't bother him. Just think about it, he lost to you twice in a row, and he's almost lost face. So, be merciful."
Ren Yaoqi: “…”
After coming out of the warm room, Ren Yaohua was the only one in the pavilion. She stood by the fence facing the lotus pond, feeding the fish with a rouge-red bowl with blue and white patterns.
The spring breeze blew on her face. Her hair was slightly lifted, her skirt was flowing, and her perfect profile was very beautiful and delicate, like a pleasing picture.
But the next moment, Ren Yaoqi saw Ren Yaohua casually raise his hand and pour all the fish food in the bowl into the lotus pond, and then stare at a certain place in the lotus pond in a daze.
Xiangqin, the maidservant beside Ren, was jumping up and down: "Ah, sister, how can you feed fish like that! I'm afraid all the fish in the pond will die of starvation if you do that."
