Old Mrs. Ren glanced at Old Grandpa Ren, wondering if Old Grandpa Ren was blaming her for being too negligent towards her granddaughter, which led to her developing such a cowardly character?
"Yes, I understand." Old Madam Ren was still very respectful in front of Old Master Ren.
"You are tired too, go back and rest first." Old Master Ren said lovingly to Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi stood up and bowed politely. Just as he was about to leave, Old Master Ren said, "If the princess goes back, you should remember to write to her every now and then to say hello. Don't let the princess forget you."
"Yes, grandpa." Ren Yaoqi looked well-behaved and obedient from beginning to end.
When Old Master Ren and Old Madam Ren had nothing else to say, Ren Yaoqi quietly retreated.
As soon as he lifted the curtain and came out, Ren Yaoqi subconsciously took a deep breath, held his breath for a moment, and then slowly exhaled.
There was no greenery in the Ronghua Courtyard, not a hint of spring or summer, making it feel suffocating just standing there. Although she disliked this place, her steps were still slow and steady.
After Ren Yaoqi came out, Old Madam Ren asked Old Master Ren, "Do you think the princess really came to our Ren family just to look for the fifth girl?"
After Ren Yaoqi left today, Old Lady Ren specifically called Li and the few people who had gone to Bailong Temple to serve that day to question them. As soon as Princess Du saw Ren Yaoqi, she showed that she got along very well with her and pulled her to have tea.
However, no matter how much you get along with each other, you can't become close just by meeting once and drinking tea.
Old Madam Ren was still somewhat skeptical about the princess coming to see Ren Yaoqi.
Old Master Ren was lost in thought when, upon hearing Old Madam Ren's words, he said, "Although it's a little strange, I can't see anything wrong with it for now. Regardless, it's a good thing for someone from the Yanbei Palace to be close to our Ren family. Quite a few people have heard about the princess's visit to our residence today, and quite a few have come to inquire about it."
The princess of the Yanbei Palace did not go anywhere else when she came to Baihe Town. The first place she came to was their Ren Mansion. This was a very honorable thing for the Ren family.
"Don't look down on the fifth girl like you did before. She is blessed to be favored by an noble man. Who knows what her future will be like." Old Master Ren reminded Old Lady Ren again.
Old Madam Ren, however, was somewhat skeptical: "What kind of situation? Even if the fifth girl can win the favor of the princess, can we really let her marry into the Yanbei Palace?"
Old Mrs. Ren just said this casually, but she didn't expect that Old Mr. Ren was stroking his beard and pondering in silence.
Old Madam Ren had been married to her for many years, and seeing his expression, she knew that Old Master Ren must have some plans in mind. She couldn't help but test him, "Old Master, do you really have this idea? But how can a marriage with the Yanbei Palace be so easy?"
Old Master Ren stroked his beard and mused, "It was indeed difficult to tie the knot, but it's not completely impossible."
"Oh?" Old Mrs. Ren also became interested and sat up to listen.
Old Master Ren said, "You should know the Second Young Master Xiao?"
Old Madam Ren nodded: "Xiao Jingxi, the second son of the Xiao family. Of course I know."
"This Second Young Master Xiao has had poor health since childhood. He almost died a few years ago. Although he went on a long trip this time, I heard that his condition has improved a lot after returning. But how can this disease that he was born with be cured? Medicines can control it temporarily, but not forever. One day his body will collapse." Old Master Ren said firmly.
Old Madam Ren pondered Old Master Ren's words in her heart. As expected of a couple of years, she suddenly had an idea and looked at Old Master Ren in surprise: "You mean..."
Old Master Ren said calmly, "We in Yanbei have had the custom of 'rushing for happiness' since ancient times. For any man who is terminally ill and unmarried, when he is nearing the end of his life, his family will select a woman from a lower family and bring her into the mansion to bring happiness. Although the etiquette is simple, as long as the woman's status is not too low, she will generally be married off as the principal wife through formal marriage."
