"Will the Fang family let Fang Yacun's wife come?" Ren Yaohua was stunned and asked.
Ren Yaoqi nodded and pondered, "Although Fang Yacun's official position is not high, he is a man of strategic thinking and a steady hand, so he is highly regarded by his superiors. You are also aware of the Fang family's situation. I'm afraid that Fang Yacun is now the one who holds up the Fang family's reputation... Although the old lady of the Fang family is our grandmother's biological sister, given my grandfather's personality, he will never fall out with Fang Yacun. So our real trouble is yet to come."
Ren Yaohua listened quietly and did not refute Ren Yaoqi's words, although a wrinkle appeared between her eyebrows.
Seeing Ren Yaohua's expression, Ren Yaoqi knew that she must be feeling very aggrieved, so he added, "However... just because we don't take action ourselves doesn't mean we will just sit back and watch the enemy's schemes succeed."
Ren Yaohua immediately looked up upon hearing this. Although she did not ask any further questions in a hurry, she looked as if she wanted to hear what was going on.
Ren Yaoqi waved to Ren Yaohua, and Ren Yaohua hesitated for a moment before coming over.
The two sisters were whispering across the kang. Ren Yaohua was stunned after hearing this. After thinking for a moment, she frowned and asked Ren Yaoqi, "Will this work?"
Ren Yaoqi didn't make any promises, but just smiled and said, "We'll know if it works after we try it. No plan can guarantee success. And what I just told you was only based on my own speculation."
Ren Yaohua didn't get angry after hearing this. Instead, after pondering for a moment, she said, "Well, you're right. There is no guarantee that you will succeed in doing anything. Just do your best and obey orders. If it really doesn't work, the worst that can happen is a face-to-face confrontation. I'm not afraid of her anyway, and I don't care who's standing behind her, the Fang family, the Yuan family, or the Bian family!" Although Ren Yaohua's words still had some murderous intent, they also contained some comforting meaning.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but smile.
A few days later, the second wife of the East Palace, Mrs. Su, came with Ren Yaoting.
The Dragon Boat Festival is coming in less than ten days, and Su came to deliver the Su family's invitation to Xifu.
Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, Yunyang City prepares a dragon boat race, and the Su family is the initiator and organizer of this event.
Therefore, every year when the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, the Su family will send invitations to wealthy families in Yunyang City and surrounding towns.
Normally, invitations to destinations outside Yunyang City would be sent out in early May, but because of the Su family, the Ren family was able to send them in April.
When Su came, Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua happened to be in Ronghuayuan.
Ever since the princess's last visit to the Ren family, Ren Yaoqi had often been summoned by Old Madam Ren for conversation, and his presence in Ronghua Courtyard had increased significantly. Ren Yaoqi had always been submissive and readily available. Unlike Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoyin, however, Ren Yaoqi rarely spoke in front of Old Madam Ren and wasn't particularly good at currying favor. He simply answered questions one by one, appearing somewhat dull and timid.
Therefore, although Mrs. Ren would always remember to take her along whenever she had something to do and her attitude towards her was much kinder, she was still different from Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoyin who grew up by her side.
Therefore, her sudden "favor" did not make the first and fifth wives take it to heart, and Ren Yaoyin's attitude towards her was as friendly as before, which made her feel less worried. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
