Master Ren said, "Father said that if absolutely necessary, the Ren family can only sacrifice pawns to save the chariot."
Old Mrs. Ren couldn't help but look dejected. At this time, she couldn't help but resent the East Mansion and the Fang family in her heart. Originally, Old Master Ren had not planned to accept the marriage with the Zeng family immediately, but at that time she received a letter from the second old master of the East Mansion and Fang Yacun.
After saying so much, Master Ren could no longer hold on.
Mrs. Ren said hurriedly, "Master, you should go back and rest first. Since Father has said so, we will do as he says. If you don't rest well, how can you have the energy to deal with what's coming next?"
Old Madam Ren also said, "You should go and rest. I'll arrange for someone to go over to the Zeng family and reject their request. We can discuss the rest of the matter after you've rested well."
This time, Mr. Ren did not refuse and let Mrs. Ren accompany him back to his own courtyard.
Old Madam Ren was also very tired now. The noise from so many people was giving her a headache. She waved at everyone and said, "Don't wait here any longer. Go out."
Everyone retreated from Ronghuayuan.
Old Madam Ren knew that it was urgent to draw a clear line with the Zeng family, so she immediately sent someone to the East Mansion next door to invite the second wife of the Ren family over.
The second wife of the Ren family was from the Su family, and the Su family and the Zeng family were related by marriage, so it was most appropriate for the Su family to act as the middleman in this matter.
Second Madam Su also heard the news that the eldest master had returned, and was about to send someone to find the second master to go to the West Mansion to take a look. However, before the second master could find anyone, Madam Ren's maid came to ask her to come.
Su packed up a little and went over there.
Mrs. Ren, lying on the kang, told Su the reason for her invitation. After listening, Su frowned and asked, "Aunt, is this all the information you got from the government office?"
Su was asking about the Ren family being implicated because of the Zeng family. Although Mrs. Ren did not say it explicitly, her words seemed to imply this.
The reason why Old Lady Ren revealed this was because although Su was born in the Su family, the Zeng family was just a relative of the Su family, while Su was the real daughter-in-law of the Ren family.
Old Mrs. Ren sighed and said, "If we weren't really forced to, we wouldn't want to go back on our word, but look at your uncle, he's still suffering in jail..." As she spoke, Old Mrs. Ren choked up.
Su comforted Old Madam Ren gently, and knowing that this matter was the idea of Old Master Ren who was still in prison, Su said no more. She knew very well who was the head of the Ren family. Old Master Ren said that he wanted to reject the marriage proposal from the Zeng family, which meant that there was no room for reversal.
So when Su left Old Lady Ren's place, she promised Old Lady Ren that she would return to the Su family as soon as possible and ask the Su family to reject the Zeng family's marriage proposal. With the Su family as the middleman, both parties would save face.
