Ren Yaoqi smiled at her and said, "It's okay. If Third Brother can listen, Third Sister-in-law can listen too."
Ren Yijun glanced at Qi and agreed.
So Qi sat down again. To be honest, she wasn't really interested in these family secrets! She felt that the more secrets one knew in a large family, the faster one would die. However, her young master just didn't understand this. No matter how much she tried to persuade him, he wouldn't listen and insisted on getting to the bottom of it. She was helpless!
So next, Ren Yaoqi told Ren Yiju and Qi a very long story, which involved decades of feuds between the two families.
If one were to hear such a bizarre, climax-filled story in a tavern or teahouse, one would undoubtedly have ordered a pot of tea and said, "Hello!" However, Ren Yijun grew increasingly alarmed as he listened, his face gradually turning pale. Even Qi, the normally cheerful, optimistic, and open-minded Qi, remained silent, quietly listening to Ren Yaoqi's story.
Ren Yijun remained silent for a long time until Ren Yaoqi finished speaking. Then he said in a hoarse voice, "In your story, the one who came to seek revenge was the Han family?"
Without waiting for Ren Yaoqi to answer, Ren Yijun continued, "And that beast who did so many evil things and deserved to be struck by lightning is the ancestor of the Ren family?"
Qi had stood up at some point and walked to the seat next to Ren Yijun and sat down. She secretly tried to hold Ren Yijun's hand, but found that his palm was ice cold.
"The Ren family's current house belongs to the Han family? Are they trying so hard to find the property left by the Han family's ancestors?"
Ren Yaoqi didn't say anything, but looked at Ren Yijun with a gentle and soothing gaze. However, Ren Yijun knew that the answers to the questions he had just asked were all in the affirmative.
"Huh..." Ren Yijun covered his face and laughed, the laughter was very ironic.
Qi was a little worried and kept holding his hand tightly, but did not say any words of comfort.
Ren Yijun laughed until he had enough, then he slowly straightened up and said coldly, "I never thought that the blood flowing in my body could be so dirty. No wonder none of you wanted to stay in the Ren family. So that's it... So that's it..."
Ren Yaoqi said gently, "Third brother, I'm not telling you these things today to make you feel disgusted with yourself. No matter what great-grandfather did back then, he has paid back what he owed, and we don't owe anyone anything."
Ren Yijun smiled bitterly and said, "The lives of the entire Zhai family...are we all going to pay with our lives?"
Qi said seriously, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, and of course whoever owes a life must pay it back with their own life! You haven't done anything wrong, so what does it have to do with you? All you can do now is return all the things of the Zhai family in their original condition! As for what Ren Baoming did, when he enters the underworld, the Zhai family will naturally seek redress from the officials of the underworld. He will definitely not escape the punishment of the sword mountain, the cauldron of oil, and the hell of tongue-pulling!"
Ren Yijun frowned. "Mountains of knives, cauldrons of oil, hell of tongue-pulling? Didn't you say before that you didn't believe in ghosts and gods?"
Qi remained calm and said, "When it's time to believe, you have to believe! Anyway, I believe it now!"
After being interrupted by Qi, Ren Yijun's face looked better.
