Ren Yaoqi looked at Ren Yaohua in surprise: "Third cousin? He wants to talk to me about something?"
Ren Yaohua saw Ren Yaoqi's expression, which seemed to indicate she was genuinely unaware, so she turned away. "How would I know? I guess he only asked casually because he saw you rarely appeared in Grandma's yard."
Ren Yaoqi smiled upon hearing this and said, "Third cousin has always been very polite."
Ren Yaohua stroked the teacup, lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked at Ren Yaoqi again, his brows slightly furrowed as if he was thinking about something.
"What's wrong, Third Sister?" It was a rare moment when Ren Yaohua was in a soft mood. Ren Yaoqi smiled and stretched out her hand to wave in front of her.
Ren Yaohua was stunned and couldn't help but stare at Ren Yaoqi.
This was the first time that Ren Yaoqi did such an intimate thing in front of her, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
Ren Yaoqi's smile remained unchanged, and he tilted his head slightly to look at her: "What are you thinking about?"
Ren Yaohua originally wanted to say, "What's your business!" But for some reason, the words on the tip of her tongue turned into, "Grandmother seems to be interested in marrying my fourth sister to the Qiu family."
As soon as she said this, she was stunned and involuntarily stretched out her fingers to touch her lips.
Logically speaking, such nonsense without any basis and evidence, especially since it concerns a girl's marriage, should not be made public even if she knew about it, and she should tell it to her younger sister, with whom she has always been at odds.
Ren Yaoqi was also a little surprised. She didn't expect to hear such a thing from Ren Yaohua.
However, the Ren family had wanted to strengthen their relationship with the Qiu family in the previous life. Old Master Ren and Old Madam Ren did plan to marry the eldest master's fourth sister, Ren Yaoyin, to Qiu Yun, the eldest son of the next patriarch of the Qiu family.
However, for some reason, their marriage in the previous life never came to fruition. After the Ren family declined, the Qiu family married Qiu Yun to a famous and beautiful woman.
And Ren Yaoyin seemed to have become the concubine of Yun Wenting, the eldest son of the Yun family.
However, in his previous life, the Ren family had two options for Qiu Yun's fiancée: one was the fourth sister, Ren Yaoyin, and the other was Ren Yaohua. This was because both were legitimate daughters, and their age was the most compatible with Qiu Yun among the other daughters of the Ren family. They were also the two granddaughters that Old Lady Ren loved the most.
As far as he knew, Old Lady Ren seemed to like Ren Yaohua more at the time.
At the crucial moment, Han Yunqian, a man known only as Chen Yaojin, suddenly appeared. Ren Shimin was deeply attracted to Han Yunqian and, without even consulting the Ren family elders, proposed a marriage. The Ren family ultimately agreed, believing that marrying Ren Yaohua to Han Yunqian, the Han family's only son, would not be a disadvantage. Ren Yaoyin was then betrothed to Qiu Yun.
In this life, the Han family's marriage hasn't even begun. Has the Ren family already chosen Ren Yaoyin as Qiu Yun's fiancée? According to the ranking, Ren Yaohua's marriage should have been proposed first?
Thinking of this, Ren Yaoqi looked at Ren Yaohua: "Why did you suddenly bring up Fourth Sister's marriage?"
Only then did Ren Yaohua realize that it was a bit awkward for them to discuss these things in private, and she felt a little uncomfortable. However, she saw Ren Yaoqi's serious and calm look, and Ren Yaohua didn't want to lose face in front of her sister.
So she forced herself to calm down and pretended to be nonchalant, saying, "Second aunt came over this morning and mentioned my second brother's marriage. My eldest aunt happened to be there too, so she discussed with my grandmother about giving my third brother a marriage. Then, somehow, my eldest aunt brought up my fourth sister. Grandmother, don't worry about my fourth sister's affairs, she knows what's going on. Then, my second aunt mentioned the Qiu family. I was originally in the warm room with my fourth sister, and when I came out, I happened to hear these words. Later, when I saw my fourth sister coming out too, I couldn't bear to listen any more, so I left with her. However, I didn't hear any rebuttal from my grandmother or eldest aunt at the time, so I guess my second aunt was right."
Their grandfather Ren Yonghe and great-uncle Ren Yongxiang were the direct descendants of the Ren family and lived in the main house of the Ren family.
Ren Yonghe and Ren Yongxiang have several half-brothers who have moved out of the house and live on their own. Their brothers and sisters who are born to their cousins are not in the same order as them. They can only see them during the Chinese New Year and the Ghost Festival when they worship their ancestors.
The second aunt was the mistress of the East Mansion, which was just across the wall. She was the eldest daughter-in-law of their great-uncle and was born in the Su family of Yunyang City.
My second brother, Ren Yilin, was my second uncle's illegitimate son. My second aunt, Mrs. Su, had no sons but only one daughter, Ren Yaoting, the seventh child in the Ren family. However, Mrs. Su was generous and provided my second uncle with several beautiful concubines, and they had two illegitimate sons.
