The eldest wife's face turned extremely ugly when she heard this, and she was shaking with anger.
She had sent Ren Yaoyin to Jiangnan in the first place, not only to preserve her reputation but also to make her give up her desire for the eldest young master of the Yun family. However, while Ren Yaoyin was in Jiangnan, her elder sister Ren Yaochi had found several good marriages for her, but Ren Yaoyin rejected them all for various reasons. After returning to Yanbei, she had also put a lot of thought into Ren Yaoyin's marriage, but the Ren family happened to be in trouble, and in the end she was neither too high nor too low.
The eldest wife originally thought that her daughter had a miserable life, but she didn't expect that Ren Yaoyin had not forgotten the eldest young master of the Yun family until today, and was determined to marry into the Yun family. She didn't know when she had persuaded the old wife behind her back.
"No! I have already found a family for you. You can get married as soon as the mourning period for your grandfather is over!" The eldest wife said in a somewhat tough tone. This was the first time she contradicted Old Lady Ren in front of others.
Old Madam Ren was stunned for a moment, then she became unhappy: "Which family? The impoverished Yang family you mentioned before? The one where even the eldest son and grandson wouldn't have much property left to inherit? How could Yin'er marry into a family like that?"
The eldest wife also tried to reason with Old Lady Ren: "Old Lady, although the Yang family doesn't have much ancestral property left in this generation, the eldest young master of the Yang family is a rare and capable man. Yiyan said that he has good character. Moreover, the eldest young master's uncle's family in Wuzhou is also a wealthy family. In a few years, he will definitely have a bright future."
Old Madam Ren, however, was never one to reason. She looked at the eldest wife and snorted coldly, "Wait a few years? How many more years can the Ren family wait for him? Don't worry about Yin'er's marriage, I'll make the decision! If you have some free time, you might as well discipline your daughter-in-law. Set some rules for them!"
The eldest wife wanted to say something, but after looking at Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua, she suppressed her thoughts temporarily, lowered her head and remained silent.
The old lady thought that the eldest wife had given in. She glanced at Ren Yaoyin and said meaningfully, "Besides, letting Yin'er go to the Yun family may not be our only wish."
The eldest wife raised her eyes and frowned: "What do you mean by this, old lady?"
The old lady narrowed her eyes and said to Ren Yaoyin, "Yin'er, tell Grandmother and your mother honestly, are you secretly interacting with the eldest young master of the Yun family?"
Ren Yaoqi was slightly surprised when he heard this and looked at Ren Yaoyin.
Ren Yaoyin's face was filled with panic. Blushing, she lowered her head and said, "Grandma, why do you say that? Granddaughter... Granddaughter didn't..."
Although Ren Yaoyin did not admit it, her expression did not indicate that it was the case.
So Old Lady Ren was satisfied and looked at Ren Yaoyin and said, "Don't hide it from me. I know you have several letters written to you by the eldest young master of the Yun family."
A few days ago, a maidservant of Old Madam Ren's had gone to ask Ren Yaoyin's maid for something, and happened to see Ren Yaoyin frantically hiding something. She then told Old Madam Ren about this. Old Madam Ren's thoughts turned increasingly suspicious. The next day, she summoned Ren Yaoyin and ordered the maidservant to search Ren Yaoyin's room to find out what she had hidden. She found letters from the eldest son of the Yun family to Ren Yaoyin, as well as several letters she had received during her time in Jiangnan.
When Mrs. Ren found out, she was not angry but happy.
When Old Lady Ren pointed this out, Ren Yaoyin lowered her head and remained silent, her face red as blood. This was her tacit agreement.
The eldest wife was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She pointed at Ren Yaoyin and said, "You...you...when did you..."
Ren Yaoyin looked at the eldest wife with guilt in her eyes: "Mother. I, I didn't mean to hide it from you, I..." Ren Yaoyin bit her lip and said with courage, "Yun Lang and I are in love with each other."
