"Daddy, what's the matter with you calling me here at this time?" Ren Yaoqi decided not to bother with him and found a stool nearby to sit on.
Ren Shimin heard this and thought for a moment before saying, "Your grandfather called me over tonight and told me to put your third sister's matter aside for now and to deal with it later."
Ren Yaoqi was delighted: "Can the marriage be concluded?"
Ren Shimin looked at Ren Yaoqi's delighted expression, but Mo Yan became troubled again. He said seriously, "Your grandfather has only let it go temporarily. He may bring it up again after the Han family incident is over."
Ren Yaoqi gave Ren Shimin a big fake smile in return, but she didn't agree in her heart.
Things have come to this point, and she would still let Ren Yaohua and Han Yunqian get married. She might as well die again.
Ren Shimin had no idea what her daughter was thinking and continued to ramble on: "...Han Yunqian doesn't have many good qualities except for his good looks, good knowledge, and a bit of intelligence and stability."
Ren Yaoqi glanced at the book Ren Shimin had placed on the couch. Seeing it was The Ancient Mirror, he said, "Daddy, what is this thing called 'Red head, white forehead, body a mixture of green and yellow. No scales, but saliva. Snake-shaped dragon horns. Pointed mouth, like a sturgeon. When it moves, it shines. It is stuck in muddy water and therefore cannot go far away.'"
Ren Shimin was stunned and picked up the book he had put aside to read it carefully.
Ren Yaoqi coughed lightly and stood up. "Dad, I'm going out first. Don't read for too long at night, it will hurt your eyes. If your eyes are hurt, you will have to lie on the table when you paint in the future, which is not very elegant."
Ren Shimin nodded as he flipped through the book: "I understand. I'll go to bed soon."
Ren Yaoqi turned around and went out, and told the maid to go in and light another candle, and told her to cut the candle into pieces in the future to remind Ren Shimin not to read for too long at night.
The next day, Ren Yaoting from the East Palace came.
Ren Yaoting came here to gather information. She had apparently heard something, but wasn't sure yet, so she came to the West Mansion. Furthermore, it was a rare occasion for her to come to Ziwei Courtyard.
Guests are welcome, so sisters Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoqi accompanied her to chat in the west room of the main house.
At first, she resisted asking about Ren Yaohua's marriage, but instead brought up the matter of Ren Yilin's broken engagement.
The last time, the second wife of the East Palace, Mrs. Su, went to Jizhou to help Ren Yilin break off the engagement.
"...My mother promised the Liu family many benefits, so the old lady of the Liu family agreed to return my second brother's birth certificate to my mother."
"What about the sister from the Liu family?" Ren Yaoqi asked a rare question.
Ren Yaoting shook his head. "I'm not sure about that. I heard it from a nanny beside my mother. They only met with the old lady of the Liu family. Sister Liu didn't come out to meet the guests."
Then she changed the subject and looked at Ren Yaohua: "It seems that everything is going wrong this year. First, my second brother's marriage fell through, and then I heard that you, third sister..."
As soon as Ren Yaohua heard her opening words, she knew what she wanted. Without giving her any face, she immediately stood up and said coldly: "I remembered that there are still some things I haven't done. Fifth sister, please treat Seventh sister well." After that, she left without waiting for Ren Yaoting to react.
Ren Yaoting's face turned red and white, and he felt very embarrassed.
Ren Yaoqi smiled and poured a cup of tea for Ren Yaoting: "Don't mind, Seventh Sister, Third Sister will be back soon." This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
