Master Ren consoled him, "Think about it, compared to the other two families, we've at least managed to keep our family business this time. Everyone, young and old, is safe too. As long as there's green hills, there's no need to worry about lack of firewood."
Like the Ren family, the other two families implicated by the Zeng family had assets no less than the Ren family, but in the end, all of their assets were confiscated.
Thinking of this, everyone felt better.
At this moment, the voice of the old lady from the East Mansion was heard again. Because Liao had forced her way in last time and caused an unpleasant incident, the maid guarding outside did not dare to let her in easily this time.
But Master Ren said to Old Madam Ren, "I asked someone to call my second brother's wife over. Let her come in."
Old Mrs. Ren nodded to Shanhu, and Shanhu went out to bring Liao in.
As soon as Liao entered the room, she glared at Old Madam Ren, who sat at the head seat with an unchanged expression.
Old Master Ren nodded to Liao and told Shanhu to bring a chair over for her. After Liao sat down, she said to Old Master Ren, "Is your uncle feeling better?" When she met Old Master Ren, Liao even exchanged a few pleasantries.
Old Master Ren smiled and nodded: "Much better."
Liao smiled and said, "That's good, that's good." She glanced at Old Madam Ren, then asked Old Master Ren, "So, did Uncle come to me today to discuss the division of the family property?"
Master Ren Er advised from below: "Mother, my uncle has just recovered from his illness. Let's wait a while before discussing this matter."
Liao glared at Master Ren Er and said, "You kid, some things should be done sooner rather than later! The sooner you divide the things, the less pressure your uncle will have on his shoulders. He can then rest and recuperate. I heard that your uncle needs to rest and recuperate, right?"
Old Madam Ren frowned and wanted to speak, but Old Master Ren waved her hand to stop her. He pondered for a moment before asking, "Second sister-in-law, are you really determined to split up the family?"
Liao said hurriedly: "Of course, am I just saying it for fun?"
Old Master Ren nodded and asked, "Is this your opinion alone, or is it the unanimous opinion of everyone in the East Palace? If it's just your opinion, then I'm afraid we still need to discuss it."
Liao paused for a moment before replying, "You're no stranger to our old master's temper. He listened to you when he was young. When you said we wouldn't split up the family, he never mentioned it again. When you asked him to take Si'er to Kyoto, he obediently did. But if you ask if we in the East Mansion want to be the masters of our own household, of course we do. After all, our children are grown up now, and even our great-grandchildren are about to come. We can't still be living under someone else's roof, can we?"
Old Master Ren raised an eyebrow and said in an unanswerable manner, "Living under someone else's roof? So that's what my second brother's wife thinks?"
Liao was also a little afraid of Old Master Ren. Knowing that she had spoken hastily, she quickly said, "No, no, I mean that we in the East Mansion are a big family now. If we always have to ask for your opinion on everything, it will be a bit inconvenient, right?"
Old Master Ren nodded, not dwelling on Liao's faults. He said, "I heard from the eldest brother earlier that you had come to the West Mansion to discuss dividing the family. I thought about it carefully. If this is what everyone in your family wants, then as the head of the Ren family, I can't just ignore it."
Liao was delighted when she heard this: "So, uncle agrees to split the family?"
