Master Ren sighed and said, "This matter is indeed a bit difficult to handle. I will send someone to the He family in a few days to find out what they are thinking..."
Ren Yaoqi smiled when he heard this: "If Daddy trusts me, why not let me handle this matter?"
Master Ren was stunned for a moment: "You going?"
Ren Yaoqi nodded: "Yes, I will go back and beg the princess. No matter what, the He family should give the Yanbei Palace some face, right?"
Before Ren Shimin could agree, Nanny Zhou became anxious: "Miss, you have only been married to the Yanbei Palace for a few days. It is a time when you need to be low-key in front of your parents-in-law. This is a bit inappropriate." In fact, it is not a question of whether it is inappropriate or not, but a question of whether it is worth it. Nanny Zhou thought that asking the princess for someone else was not a big deal given the princess's love for her own daughter, but it would be worthless if that person was Ren Yaoying.
Ren Shimin shook his head upon hearing this. "Forget it, don't worry about it. I'll ask your fifth uncle to go. He has more connections than me and has business dealings with many families in Zhuozhou. Maybe he can help me connect with the He family. Then we can just pay them more for the betrothal gifts."
Ren Yaoqi pouted and said angrily, "Why is Dad so anxious to treat me as an outsider now? Since I have agreed, there will naturally be a way." As she spoke, Ren Yaoqi winked at Nanny Zhou, signaling her not to worry.
Ren Shimin was not interested in this kind of thing and was not good at it. Seeing Ren Yaoqi was so sure, he thought about it and did not insist. He just said, "Then you give it a try. Don't force it."
Ren Yaoqi smiled and agreed, then added, "Just now, my ninth sister said that she would become a nun after breaking off the engagement. This is not acceptable. A good girl who is ready to get married, if she breaks off the engagement and becomes a nun, how will others view our family?"
Ren Shimin nodded: "You are right."
Ren Yaoqi added, "So, I think if Ninth Sister's marriage is called off, we should immediately arrange a new marriage for her, so as to avoid any further complications later."
Mrs. Li couldn't help but frown and said, "How can getting engaged be that simple? It's not easy to find the right person..."
Upon hearing this, Ren Yaoqi smiled at Li and Master Ren, "Who said there's no suitable person? Didn't Dad have a candidate in mind before? It was Master Meng, your favorite student."
Ren Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he hesitated: "But if Yaoying's engagement is broken off, will the Meng family agree?"
Nanny Zhou rolled her eyes and suddenly added, "Master, look at what you said. How could the Meng family not be willing? Although Miss Nine is not a legitimate daughter, her two sisters now have different social statuses. As long as the He family's engagement is cancelled, I'm afraid many people will want to become brothers-in-law with Master Xiao and Master Lei. Moreover, Young Master Meng is your student. If he marries your daughter, it will be a good story."
Ren Shimin nodded and said thoughtfully, "That makes sense. I'll send someone to find out what the Meng family is thinking in a few days."
Ren Shimin wanted to go back and continue chatting with his two sons-in-law about his favorite topics, but when he saw that they had almost finished talking about this matter, he left.
As soon as Master Ren left, Nanny Zhou couldn't help but whisper, "Second Miss, do you really want to help Ninth Miss break off her engagement?"
Ren Yaoqi thought for a moment and said with a smile, "I saw that my father really didn't like the He family's marriage proposal, so I thought I'd help him out. It's not a big deal. But whether it can be successfully tied up in the end doesn't depend on me."
