As for Lu Yu, who Ren Yaoqi had been worried about, there had been no movement from him, nor had he sent anyone to cause trouble. Ren Yaoqi later learned that Lu Yu had hurried to Ningxia the morning after the princess' coming-of-age banquet, so he naturally had no time to bother them again.
As for why Lu Yu left Yunyang City in such a hurry, Ren Yaoqi had no idea, but Xiao Jingxi must have done something.
Xiao Jinglin later sent a letter to Ren Yaoqi, saying that Lu Yu and the people he brought with him were being watched closely and would not give him the opportunity to act secretly. Only then did Ren Yaoqi feel relieved.
Shortly after Lu Yu arrived in Ningxia, the court issued another imperial decree, appointing Lu Yu as military supervisor and asking him to stay in Ningxia temporarily to assist Zeng Kui in Ningxia military affairs. Lu Yu was thus stuck.
One day, Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua were in the main room listening to Nanny Zhou telling them some tips on household management, when the doorman came in to report that the eldest wife of the Ren family had arrived.
This was the first time the eldest wife came to their house since they moved to Yunyang City.
Li hurriedly took Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua out to greet them, and asked someone to call out Ren Yaoying as well.
Seeing them all coming to greet her at the second gate, the eldest wife hurried forward, took Li's hand, and said with a smile, "What are you doing? You've all come out to greet me, are you worried that I won't be able to find the place?"
Li smiled and invited the eldest lady into the yard.
The eldest wife was unwilling to go first, so she took Li's hand and walked in front. Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua followed behind, and they all went to the main house together.
After everyone was seated, Li ordered tea and snacks to be served before asking, "Sister-in-law, how did you find time to come to Yunyang City today?"
The eldest wife casually glanced around the main room and smiled, "I came to do some work and stopped by to see you. I just saw this courtyard, and although it's not big, it's very exquisitely decorated. I'm afraid this must be the work of my third brother."
Li also smiled and said, "It was indeed arranged by the master."
Then the eldest wife chatted with Li about some family matters. At noon, Li invited the eldest wife to have lunch, and the eldest wife did not refuse.
The first wife always gave people the impression of being gentle and sensible. Although she was not enthusiastic towards Li when she was in the Ren family, she did not suppress her openly. Even Ren Yaohua did not have much bad feelings towards the first wife.
Seeing the atmosphere gradually brighten, the eldest wife suddenly asked, "By the way, didn't you attend the princess's coming-of-age banquet a few days ago? I heard that the Yanbei Palace was very lively that day. Not only did the famous families of Yanbei come, but even the imperial court in the south came to issue an imperial decree to confer a higher title on the princess."
As soon as the eldest wife said this, Ren Yaoqi knew that she was ready to get to the main topic of the day.
After the Yanbei Palace invited the Rong family, all the major families in Yanbei have gradually expressed their goodwill to the Xian Palace, but the Ren family has remained silent.
Before this, Ren Yaoqi was still wondering how long the Ren family could endure this time.
Isn’t it here?
