Mrs. Li is now becoming more and more satisfied with her son-in-law Lei Ting. Although she is not very good at speaking, she was very happy to see Lei Ting come back specially to pay his respects to her, and she also stayed with him for a long time to ask about his well-being.
After Lei Pan'er finished practicing her calligraphy, she ran over, happily bowing to Li and Ren Yaoqi, and then obediently sat down next to Ren Yaohua. This child used to like to throw herself at Ren Yaohua, but now that Ren Yaohua was pregnant, even though no one specifically taught her, she knew her limits and wouldn't rush into Ren Yaohua. She was so well-behaved and sensible that it was impossible not to like her.
Mrs. Li also liked her very much, so she teased her, "Is the baby in your mother's belly a brother or a sister?"
Lei Paner smiled and said, "It's my younger brother. Paner likes my younger brother!"
Mrs. Li was so amused by her that she couldn't stop laughing. She waved her over and hugged her: "Why does Pan'er like her brother?"
Lei Paner pouted and said, "Mom already has Paner, so why not have a younger brother? My younger sister will definitely not be as smart and cute as Paner."
The childish talk made everyone laugh.
When Lei Ting took Lei Pan'er out and let Ren Yaohua and Li continue to talk privately, Ren Yaohua asked about Ren Yaoqi's marriage.
She only asked Ren Yaoqi one question: "But are you happy about it?"
Ren Yaoqi smiled and nodded.
Ren Yaohua glanced at her and didn't ask any more questions.
When Ren Yaohua heard about the marriage between the second son of the Xiao family and Ren Yaoqi, she suspected that the Xian Palace wanted to use Ren Yaoqi as a marriage alliance, just like letting Li marry into the Ren family back then, for the benefit of the Xian Palace. She was about to go back to her parents' home to find out, but was stopped by Lei Ting.
Lei Ting patiently analyzed the situation to her, helping her calm down.
Ren Yaohua thought that with Ren Yaoqi's intelligence, if she really didn't want to, she would definitely find a way to make some noise to reject the marriage, just like Ren Yaoqi didn't want to see her marry Han Yunqian. She always found a way.
Now that Ren Yaohua had heard Ren Yaoqi admit it herself, she felt relieved. Ren Yaoqi didn't want to see her trust in the wrong person, so she naturally hoped that Ren Yaoqi could marry a man of her dreams.
As for the rumors outside that the Second Young Master Xiao was in poor health, she might have been worried in the past, but now that she was married to Lei Ting, she had her own insights into marriage.
Some couples who have been together their entire lives may not be able to match the affection between them for only a few years. She now understood the principle of "white hair as new, love as old." Given Ren Yaoqi's intelligence, since she was attracted to the Second Young Master Xiao, he must have some advantages, and these advantages could at least offset his physical disadvantages.
After figuring this out, Ren Yaohua felt relieved.
The three of them also discussed the Ren family's desire to take Ren Shimin back. Ren Yaohua, for once, didn't express her own opinion. When she heard that Ren Shimin didn't want to return to the Ren family, she said nothing. Even the deepest feelings couldn't withstand repeated harassment and trampling.
Li and Ren Yaoqi stayed at Lei's house for lunch before leaving, as Lei Ting and Ren Yaohua tried their best to persuade them to stay.
When they left, both Li and Ren Yaohua had a look of reluctance in their eyes. Li repeatedly told Ren Yaohua to take good care of her pregnancy and to leave all household chores to Madam Zhou and the others for the time being, and to not try to force herself. She told her to send someone back immediately if she needed anything, and Madam Zhou would select a wet nurse and maids for the child. In short, everything was planned for Ren Yaohua.
Ren Yaohua agreed to all of her requests and sent Li and Ren Yaoqi to the gate of her courtyard. Li then refused to let her send them off again.
After returning from the Lei family, Li was in a very good mood. As a parent, there is nothing more important than seeing their children live a happy life.
