Rong shook her head helplessly, watching Li Tianyou and Ji Fuying leave. Then she turned to Ren Yaoqi and said, "I plan to choose an auspicious date before the end of the year to settle your uncle and Fuying's affairs. Tell your mother when you get back." Ren Yaoqi nodded, "Yes, Grandmother." "Also... there's one more thing," Rong said, frowning. Ren Yaoqi looked at Rong, waiting for her to speak. After a moment's thought, Rong said, "Yaohua is already sixteen. Doesn't your mother have a suitable match?" Ren Yaoqi shook her head. Li had also been worried about Ren Yaohua's marriage recently. Ren Yaohua wasn't exactly a sought-after woman, but from Han Yunqian to Qiu Yun to Zeng Kui, her marriages had never been smooth, and even brought about numerous disasters. After Zeng Kui's incident, Li had Ren Yaohua's fortune read. The fortuneteller said Ren Yaohua had an extremely noble destiny, promising her a prosperous husband and a prosperous family. However, due to several peach blossoms in her horoscope, she was advised not to marry too early. It would be best to wait until she was seventeen before marrying. Her husband would need to be at least five years older and of similarly noble horoscope to overcome the negative influence. If Ren Yaohua could survive this early peach blossom calamity, she would be guaranteed a life of wealth and prosperity, with many children. Now that Ren Yaohua was sixteen, even if she wanted to wait until seventeen or eighteen, an arrangement would have to be made. After arriving in Yunyang City, Li had also noticed the young masters of the families with whom she had friendly relations, but unfortunately, they were either already married or too young to be considered suitable. After hearing Li's fortune-telling for Ren Yaohua, Rong sighed, "This kind of thing can't be completely trusted, yet it can't be disregarded. It's for peace of mind, and it's hard on your mother." Ren Yaoqi nodded. Although she didn't believe it, the fortune-teller had gotten several things right. Hadn't Ren Yaohua been involved in a lot of bad relationships in recent years? Li believed it all, and when she was looking for a partner for Ren Yaohua, she chose one five years her senior. However, in Yanbei, unmarried men over the age of twenty-one were rare, and even if there were some, Li wouldn't necessarily be interested. As for the Ren family's old man and mistress, after experiencing the Zeng family incident, they had become much more cautious about marriage. Ren Yaoqi had heard that the second old man's business in the capital had been facing a lot of problems recently, and she wrote frequently to ask for help. Old Man Ren, who had never truly given up on his Jiangnan holdings, was naturally anxious to help. However, he was no longer as energetic as before and didn't dare to interfere too openly in Jiangnan's affairs. Meanwhile, Fang Yacun's career was not going well and she was struggling to protect herself. Therefore, Old Master Ren was very busy and didn't have much time to worry about Ren Yaohua's marriage. Rong said, "But if it can be settled, it's better to do it sooner rather than later, for fear of more trouble later..." Ren Yaoqi was very perceptive. Hearing the worry in Rong's tone, she immediately asked, "Grandmother, has something happened?" Rong frowned, "I'm just a little worried. I heard that Empress Dowager Yan likes to recruit young girls into the palace to serve as study companions for the princesses or as servants. This time, she has ordered that women with outstanding appearance and literacy be found among the people to serve as court ladies. Yaohua offended Eunuch Lu last time. The Yanbei Palace may be able to protect you in Yanbei territory, but what if Lu Yu mentions it to the Empress Dowager and she finds a way to get Yaohua into the palace..." *** Last day of Pink Double, please vote~o(n_n)o (To be continued.
