Ren Yaoqi could feel that there was nothing far-fetched in Rong's words "no regrets".
What if it was her?
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but wonder, if it were her, would she be able to remain unrepentant? Ren Yaoqi stared blankly at the wood grain on the small table in front of her, lost in thought, and didn't come back to her senses the whole way.
It was not until they reached the house that Pingguo cautiously asked Ren Yaoqi to get off the carriage that she broke free from her thoughts.
As he got off the carriage, Ren Yaoqi thought, in fact, it shouldn't be difficult to "have no regrets." As long as people can hold on and remain consistent, why would there be so many "regrets"?
The news of Concubine Fang's disappearance soon reached the Fang family. Fang Yacun wrote letters one after another to inquire about the whereabouts of Concubine Fang from the Ren family. Each letter was more sincere than the last, but the tone of the writing contained both worry and urgency as well as an aggressive edge.
Old Master Ren knew that Fang Yacun was secretly putting pressure on the Ren family, but he sent people to search the entire Yanzhou but could not find any trace of Concubine Fang. Even Nanny Yu, who disappeared with Concubine Fang, had completely disappeared.
Old Master Ren felt that his health had become worse since the last time he vomited blood due to anger from his son. Meanwhile, the Ren family was still facing a precarious situation due to internal and external troubles.
Old Master Ren had no choice but to grit his teeth and hold on while handing over some things that he had been reluctant to hand over to his eldest son Ren Shizhong.
Just at this time, the second old master, who had already separated from the family, wrote back from Kyoto saying that some of the joints that had been opened up had problems again, and asked the second old master to help clear them up for the sake of being a family.
The second old master thought that his brother was dissatisfied with his division, so he secretly took action to teach him a lesson. After all, it was Old Master Ren who established the connection between Fang Yacun and the palace, so they were considered to have benefited from it.
The Second Old Master even gave his wife, Liao, a severe lecture for this, blaming her for turning against the West Mansion so early. Therefore, his tone was extremely respectful when he wrote to Old Master Ren. Now that they had separated, their branch depended on the Jiangnan estates for survival.
While Old Master Ren wrote back to comfort his brother and reassure him, he was thinking that Fang Yacun must have seen that they still couldn't find Fang, and thought that the Ren family had secretly done something to Fang, so he wanted to use this method to force them to hand over the person.
Old Master Ren could only secretly blame Concubine Fang for disappearing at such an inopportune moment. However, apart from sending out another search, he was truly helpless.
Not long after that, Fang Yacun received another letter saying that he would come to Yanbei in person in the near future.
From this, it can be seen that Fang Yacun really cares about her sister Fang Yaru, but Old Master Ren is even more troubled.
What made him even more depressed was that Ren Shimao seemed to really want to leave the Ren family. Not only did he take his wife and children to live in Yunyang City and never return, he also moved out of the Ren family's villa and rented a courtyard in Yunyang City. Old Master Ren instructed Old Madam Ren not to give any more money to the fifth wife, but Ren Shimao didn't react at all.
After such a life-or-death ordeal, both Ren Shimao and Lin had become more open-minded. At least Master Ren Wu no longer felt bad about spending a woman's dowry, and Lin no longer prioritized trivial matters over her husband and children.
