Ren Yaoqi responded nonchalantly, "Didn't Auntie tell us to stay out of the house? Let it rain, just stay in the yard."
Ren Yaoyin glanced at Ren Yaoqi. After a moment, she smiled. "Then do you know why my aunt told the two of us visiting the Lin family not to get too close to the Lin family?"
"Could it be that my aunt is not as good as she seems in the Lin family?" Ren Yaoqi said calmly.
Ren Yaoyin sighed and said, "Because my uncle is the only heir to the second branch of the Lin family, he should have inherited half of the Lin family's property. However, the first branch disagrees with my uncle's branch being separated from the Lin family. Because of this family property dispute, who knows what trouble will arise in the future. My aunt is afraid that we will be taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives. That's why she gave us such warnings."
Ren Yaoyin was not stingy with her advice to Ren Yaoqi, just like when she was at home, she never hid anything when her sisters asked her questions about needlework.
"I see. I've heard some rumors before, but not as much as Fourth Sister. Thank you for your guidance." Ren Yaoqi thought for a moment and said sincerely.
Ren Yaoyin smiled slightly: "We are sisters, we share the same fate, there is no point in thanking you."
Ren Yaoyin sat in Ren Yaoqi's room for a while, sometimes giving her advice on how to behave, and sometimes asking her some questions without leaving any trace.
No matter what she asked, Ren Yaoqi's answer was flawless.
After seeing Ren Yaoqi yawn, Ren Yaoyin said goodbye with a smile: "It's getting late, and I'm a little sleepy. Let's talk next time."
Ren Yaoqi wanted to stand up and see her off, but Ren Yaoyin held her arm and refused, so Ren Yaoqi did not insist.
When Ren Yaoyin lifted the curtain and came out, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Ren Yaoqi, who was lying down with the help of a maid. Her brows furrowed and the smile on her face faded. But she only glanced at him once and turned away.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at the bead curtain that was swaying and making a slight sound, and closed his eyes.
Ren Yaoqi slept well in the second half of the night, even though it rained all night outside.
The next day, the rain did not stop, but it was much lighter than at night.
After Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaoyin had packed up, they went to Ren Shijia's house to have breakfast together.
Uncle Lin Kun was not in the room. It seemed that he had gone out early in the morning. I don’t know if it was because they were there or because he never had breakfast in the inner courtyard before.
Ren Shijia was not Mrs. Lin's legitimate daughter-in-law, and because she had just given birth, Mrs. Lin exempted her from the morning and evening visits. Therefore, Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaoyin did not have to go to Mrs. Lin to pay their respects early in the morning like the other members of the Lin family.
To some extent, Ren Shijia's status in the Lin family is detached, but this detachment is more like a kind of compensation from the Lin family.
In the past, Ren Shijia was a little uneasy about her special status in the Lin family. Since she learned that her inability to have children might be related to the eldest wife of the Lin family, she began to understand a lot.
In the morning, Ren Shijia was asking her maid Qingliu to take some money to the Lin family's kitchen to ask them to add a few dishes that Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua liked to eat. Then, a piece of news reached the inner courtyard of the Lin family.
Mrs. Lei died.
At that time, Ren Yaoqi was also in Ren Shijia's room, competing with Ren Yaoyin for Xiao Lincen, who was full of energy after finishing his milk.
This news shocked Ren Yaoqi, and the hand holding the rattle stopped in mid-air.
"Why did it suddenly...wasn't he fine the day before yesterday?" Ren Shijia was also shocked and asked the maid who came in to report the news.
The day before yesterday, when the Lin family held a full-moon banquet for Lin Cen, Mrs. Lei came. At that time, she could not see anything wrong with it.
"I don't know. They said he suddenly fell ill and passed away in the middle of the night last night." The maid also heard it from outside. The Lei family sent people out to buy white cloth at dawn, and then the people in Yunyang City received the news of the Lei family's death one after another. The Lin family also just received it.
