"Who does that depend on?" asked Nanny Zhou, frowning.
Ren Yaoqi sighed and said calmly, "It depends on Ren Yaoying herself."
Even though she herself had no affection for Ren Yaoying, Ren Yaoying was her father's daughter after all. Although Master Ren might not think much of Ren Yaoying, a concubine's daughter, judging from the situation today, he was still unwilling to let Ren Yaoying marry into the He family. Ren Yaoying was still his daughter after all.
Because of this, Ren Yaoqi was willing to give Ren Yaoying one last chance, even though she knew that with Ren Yaoying's personality, she would most likely ruin this opportunity. Ren Yaoqi did this not out of kindness, but for her father.
Nanny Zhou was also a shrewd person. After Ren Yaoqi said this, she thought about it carefully and immediately understood: "If Miss Nine really doesn't want to marry into the He family, and if what she just said to the master that she would rather become a nun is true, then she will definitely not reject this marriage with the Meng family. After all, Young Master Meng will not bring shame to the master. He is the master's favorite student. If she doesn't want to..."
Nanny Zhou couldn't help but sneer at this. She knew very well what kind of people the Fang mother and daughter were. How could Ren Yaoying be willing to marry into the impoverished Meng family? She would probably rather be Mr. He's second wife.
Ren Yaoqi said calmly: "If what she just said is true, then I will give her a generous dowry so that even if she marries into the Meng family, she will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life." Otherwise, Ren Yaoying would stay where she wants.
Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jingxi didn't stay for dinner at the Ren family's house. They returned home around noon. Mrs. Li was reluctant to leave her daughters. Now that both daughters were married, she suddenly felt that the whole courtyard had become much emptier. Master Ren was also reluctant to leave Ren Yaoqi, but he didn't show it too much.
Ever since the day Ren Yaoqi came back home, Ren Yaoying got what she wanted and became a well-behaved person. She no longer went out to offend people easily. She stayed in her own room every day, reading and writing, and cultivating her character.
A few days later, Ren Yaoying learned that the He family had agreed to cancel the engagement, which made her extremely happy and secretly proud. Ren Yaoying felt that she had performed well that day. Not only did her father agree to help her cancel the engagement, but even Ren Yaoqi believed her.
But she didn't feel happy for long, because on the same day, news came out from the Ren family that Master Ren had decided to marry her to Meng Shilin.
Ren Yaoying naturally inquired about Meng Shilin. When she found out that Meng Shilin was just a branch of the Meng family and that his family was penniless, Ren Yaoying could hardly believe it.
As luck would have it, when Ren Yaoying went to pay her respects to Mrs. Li that day, she met Meng Shilin in the yard, who was called to the Ren family by Master Ren.
Meng Shilin was not good-looking. He was wearing a long gown made of good material, but it was obvious that it had been washed many times and was very old. When Ren Yaoying saw his outfit, her face turned pale instantly.
