After arranging Sun Shiyi Niang's affairs, Ren Yaoqi temporarily put his mind at ease.
After returning to Ziwei Courtyard, Aunt Xu told her that the Third Madam asked her to go to the main room after returning. Ren Yaoqi packed up a little and went over.
Ren Yaoqi thought Li was going to ask her about Third Master Ren's renovations and move to the courtyard, but when Li saw her, she said, "Mr. Xia came to Baihe Town yesterday."
Ren Yaoqi thought for a moment after hearing this and asked, "Xia Sheng, are you here for the Han family's affairs?"
Since Li had only mentioned Xia Sheng, he certainly hadn't come with any master. If Prince Xian's Mansion had something to ask Li, they should have sent Yihong or Chuchu. If only Xia Sheng had come, Ren Yaoqi could only think of the Han family.
Before leaving Yunyang City, she had sent Pingguo to Baoping Hutong. Her grandmother, Rong, had asked Pingguo to tell her not to interfere in the Han family's affairs. She was afraid that if a child like her said anything, the Ren family wouldn't believe it and would instead make Han Dongshan wary. Furthermore, the Han family's affairs also involved Ren Yaohua's marriage, so she would find a way to deal with this matter. Ren Yaoqi agreed.
Li nodded and said, "I am indeed here for the Han family's affairs. Your grandmother said that it is not good to delay this matter any longer. We must make the Ren family alert to Han Dongshan."
Rong's original words were that, although the Han family was in mourning for Madam Han's death, they were now a powerful force in Yanbei, and Han Yunqian was an exceptionally talented young man. If the Han family was willing to marry into the Ren family, the Ren family would ultimately agree. Ren Yaohua was now at the right age for marriage, having just returned from the Qianjin Banquet. Rong was worried that the Ren family would make her wait a year for the Han family's marriage, thus delaying her.
Li was deeply convinced of this. She knew that Old Lady Ren, out of partiality for Ren Yaohua, was intent on marrying her to the direct descendant of the Qiu family's patriarch. She had seen that child before; he was bright and agile, and not unattractive in appearance. It would be a good opportunity for Yaohua to marry into the Qiu family. She was worried that Old Master Ren, unaware of the Han family's background, would persist in his original intention of marrying Ren Yaohua to the Han family's young master. And even if it wasn't Yaohua, there was still Yaoqi, who ranked below Yaohua.
Although the young master of the Han family is good, Li does not want her two daughters to be involved in the feud between the ancestors of the Ren and Zhai families.
However, Li did not explain it in detail to Ren Yaoqi, because she was still an unmarried girl after all.
As smart as Ren Yaoqi was, she roughly understood what Li was thinking just by looking at her expression.
Ren Yaoqi has also been considering Ren Yaohua's marriage recently.
Originally, Old Master Ren had intended for Ren Yaoyin to marry Qiu Yun. But now, after Ren Yaoyin's misconduct at the Qianjin Banquet, while the Yanbei Palace hadn't publicly disclosed the incident to save her face, she was subsequently shaved. As relatives of the Ren family, the Qiu family could have uncovered some clues if they wanted to. If the Ren family still tried to conceal Ren Yaoyin's marriage to Qiu Yun, they would likely have objections. The result was not a marriage of in-laws, but rather a relationship of enmity.
So the candidate for marriage with the Qiu family fell on Ren Yaohua. Old Lady Ren was originally partial to Ren Yaohua, so she was naturally willing to marry her most beloved granddaughter to her parents' family.
But Ren Yaoqi still has a grudge against the Qiu family.
In the previous life, Ren Yaoyin and Qiu Yun were engaged, but after the Ren family fell into decline, the Qiu family abandoned this relative of theirs. No one knew how the two families negotiated, but Qiu Yun eventually married someone else, and Ren Yaoyin became Yun Wenting's concubine.
