The princess laughed when she heard this. "This is about choosing a son-in-law, not a general. What's the point of being aggressive? There can't be two tigers on one mountain, even if they're one male and one female. If a couple wants to be together for a long time, one strong and one gentle are the best match. If two strong-willed people get together, they're likely to have conflicts over time."
At this point, the princess sighed, "Lin'er has always wanted to guard the border. If that's what she wants, then Yun Wenting's personality is the most suitable for her."
Xiao Jingxi and Ren Yaoqi looked at each other and bowed their heads to show that they had learned their lesson.
After bidding farewell to Ren Yaoqi and Ah Zhuo, Xiao Jinglin left Yunyang City and headed for Ningxia with his personal guards. Less than half a day after Xiao Jinglin left, Yun Wenting also left Yunyang City.
Xiao Jinglin and Yun Wenting have been gone for almost a year.
During this period, something happened in the Ren family. The marriage between Ren Yaoying and the master of the He family ultimately failed. Ren Yaoying broke off the engagement and fled the Ren family a month before the wedding.
The Ren family is no longer what it used to be. Many of the servants have been dismissed, and the access control is naturally not as good as that of a large mansion. Ren Yaoying used some money to bribe a few people, disguised herself as a little maid, and escaped through the back door. Before escaping, she also stole the eldest wife's jewelry box.
After the eldest wife found out, she immediately sent people to chase her. She thought that a teenage girl could not run far, but she did not expect that after three days of searching, she still could not find her. Ren Yaoying disappeared inexplicably.
The He family somehow found out and came to the door. The Ren family really couldn't give Ren Yaoying over, so they returned all the betrothal gifts and compensated the He family with five hundred taels of silver. Although the He family was not happy, they could only blame themselves for their bad luck.
Ren Shimin and Li also knew about this. Although Ren Shimin and Ren Yaoying had severed their father-daughter relationship, he was Ren Yaoying's biological father after all, so the Ren family still informed Ren Shimin and Li about Ren Yaoying's disappearance.
Ren Shimin no longer recognized Ren Yaoying as his daughter. When he heard the news of Ren Yaoying's escape, he was not angry. He just had someone report to the government with a cold face, and then asked Li to prepare 500 taels of silver notes to send to the Ren family, and also converted the lost jewelry of the eldest wife into silver and gave it to the eldest wife as compensation.
Ren Yaoqi had taken over most of the affairs of the Yanbei Palace, and was quite busy as it was the end of the year. Although she had heard about Ren Yaoying's affairs from someone sent by the Li family, she did not pay much attention to it.
However, although Ren Yaoqi did not intervene, it was Ren Shimin who sent someone to report to the government. Naturally, the government officials did not dare to neglect it, so on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, when Ren Yaoying had been missing for ten days, Li sent someone to tell Ren Yaoqi that Ren Yaoying had been found.
It turned out that Ren Yaoying did not leave Yanzhou after escaping from the Ren family. She came to Yunyang City and lived in a two-story house in an alley called Jixiang Hutong in the west of Yunyang City.
After the government found the person, they did not rush in to arrest him. Instead, they sent someone to report to Ren Shimin first. It happened that Ren Shimin was out visiting a friend. Li was undecided for a while, so he sent someone to the Yanbei Palace to ask Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi was a little curious about what Ren Yaoying was doing, but she didn't want Ren Yaoying, a bad apple, to ruin the reputation of the entire Ren family, so she asked the government not to make it public, and then sent a few people to Jixiang Hutong where Ren Yaoying lived to keep an eye on her.
On the first day, there was no movement from Ren Yaoying's side. In her new house, apart from a newly bought maid to serve her daily life, there was also an old couple in charge of the doorman and the kitchen. Except for the time when the old woman went out to buy vegetables early in the morning, the door of the house had never been opened.
