The eldest wife looked at Ren Yaoyin, her face filled with anger and disappointment. She was speechless. She had once had high hopes for Ren Yaoyin. This daughter was smart and sensible. She was also very beautiful. But Ren Yaoyin made her more and more disheartened.
Old Madam Ren was very satisfied. In her heart, it was better for Ren Yaoyin to be a concubine in the Yun family than to be the mistress of that damned Yang family. This was because the Yun family could bring benefits to the Ren family, while the Yang family was not something they could rely on.
Ren Yaoqi watched this drama coldly from the side, feeling very annoyed by Ren Yaoyin's affectation and Old Lady Ren's greed.
Others might not know, but Ren Yaoqi knew exactly who the Yun family's eldest son truly loved. Although she had only had limited contact with Yun Wenting and didn't hold a favorable impression of the Yun family, she didn't believe that Ren Yaoyin, once Xiao Jinglin's favorite candidate for the title of Marquis, would have any hidden ties with him.
It is very likely that this matter was caused by Ren Yaoyin herself from beginning to end, with the purpose of gaining the support of Old Lady Ren.
Old Madam Ren was not the First Madam. While the First Madam wasn't a good person either, she truly loved her children and was wholeheartedly committed to their well-being. Old Madam Ren, however, only saw profit. With the Ren family in such precarious circumstances, if they could establish a relationship with the Yun family, their future would be much easier. This was especially true since the girl from the capital whom Yun Wenting was being married to was clearly a figment of their imagination. It was unclear whether the Yun family would allow her to have children.
Old Madam Ren felt that even if Ren Yaoyin was a concubine when she married, as long as she had a child in the future, and the eldest young master of the Yun family and Ren Yaoyin were in love, then her status in the Yun family would definitely be comparable to that of a wife.
Now Ren Shimin is unwilling to return to the Ren family. No matter how high the status of Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi is, they are not on the same page with her. Naturally, Old Mrs. Ren wants to hold on to Ren Yaoyin, this "well-behaved and obedient" granddaughter.
I have to say that Ren Yaoyin is quite scheming. She knows exactly what Old Lady Ren is thinking. The two of them scheme against each other and use each other, but in the end, Ren Yaoyin gets the upper hand.
Old Madam Ren looked at Ren Yaoqi again: "How about it? Are you willing to help me with this?"
Before Ren Yaoqi could speak, a male voice interrupted him angrily, "No help!"
When everyone heard this, they turned around and saw Ren Shimin and Li lifting the curtain and walking in. Ren Shimin's face was cold and expressionless, and Li stood one step behind him, still looking very submissive.
Ren Shimin's gaze swept across everyone's faces, finally stopping at Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua. He said calmly, "What are you still doing here? The carriages from the Xiao and Lei families are waiting outside. Go back to your own homes. It's none of your business to meddle in the affairs of your mother's family or the Ren family."
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Li, who shook her head gently at her. Ren Yaoqi then understood a little.
Ren Shimin and Li must have been standing outside for a long time, but for some reason no one came in to report.
Ren Yaoqi knew that he could not refute anything his father said at this time, so he pulled Ren Yaohua back, but was not in a hurry to leave.
Ren Shimin glanced at them and ignored them. He walked directly to Old Lady Ren's bedside and bowed expressionlessly, "How are you feeling today?"
Old Madam Ren was startled by his anger when he came in, but now she realized what was happening and snorted coldly: "He wasn't going to die originally, but after being disobeyed by this unfilial son, who knows!"
Ren Shimin didn't respond, but just looked at Old Lady Ren and said, "I will repay the Ren family for their upbringing. They are just married daughters and have no relationship with the Ren family anymore."
