Master Ren and Ren Yiyan both took a few steps back involuntarily, with expressions of disbelief.
Ren Yijun glanced back at the crooked tablet and said firmly, "Father, you are lying."
Master Ren's face turned pale: "This..."
"Father, how long are you going to continue lying to us? Do you dare to deny what I just said?"
Master Ren shook his lips, but could not utter another word.
Ren Yiyan, observing Master Ren's expression, was filled with fear and doubt, and couldn't help but call out, "Father?" He was a scholar, and he didn't speak of strange things. He still hoped to hear his father deny Ren Yijun's words; he preferred to believe that his younger brother was just fooling around.
But Master Ren couldn't make a sound, as if something was stuck in his throat, making it impossible for him to deny Ren Yijun's words.
Ren Yijun asked, "So you admit it?"
Ren Yiyan waited for a long time but Master Ren didn't say anything. His eyes gradually became complicated and he said in disbelief: "Father, is what my third brother said true? There is also the Zhai family in this house..." Thinking of what Ren Yiju said, Ren Yiyan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Master Ren closed his eyes and finally asked, "How do you know all this?"
Is this an admission?
Ren Yijun slowly clenched his fists.
Although Ren Yijun's behavior just now seemed a bit aggressive, in fact, he and Ren Yiyan both hoped that Master Ren would deny it to the end. Unexpectedly...
"These are things that happened to the previous generation..." Master Ren's tone was very tired and vicissitudes of life.
Although he had known some of the grudges between the Ren and Zhai families before, he only learned the details from Old Master Ren a few days before his death. Master Ren felt uneasy and apprehensive after hearing this, but he couldn't disobey his father's will. He couldn't bear to watch the Ren family's foundation be destroyed.
Therefore, Master Ren originally didn't want the younger generation to know about this. He just wanted to find the money first to help the Ren family get through the difficult times, and then keep this matter to himself. As for the Zhai family, if there is a chance in the future, he will make amends.
After hearing Master Ren's explanation, Ren Yijun sneered and said bluntly, "You really have wild ideas! The Ren family has taken all the good things, but have you asked the Zhai family for their opinion?"
Master Ren closed his eyes, speechless. His weariness and fatigue made him look ten years older.
After all, he was his biological father. Seeing this, Ren Yijun finally swallowed his harsh words for the time being. But he still had to say what he had to say: "Father, we can't live in this house anymore, and we can't keep those mines. If anyone wants them, give them to them. Just return them to their original owners."
Master Ren shook his head: "Your grandfather's last words were..."
Ren Yijun interrupted impatiently, "What a ridiculous last words! When he said his will, did he consider the fate of his descendants? Did he consider whether they would feel guilty and suffer retribution? Matters concerning the living should be decided by the living."
Seeing that Master Ren was silent, Ren Yijun turned to Ren Yiyan and said, "Tell me what you think! Even if the Ren family found that fortune, would you dare spend it?"
