But what Ren Yaoqi hadn't expected was that just two days before they were about to leave for Yunyang City, another family came to propose marriage to Ren Yaohua. The visitor was actually accompanied by the Su family's chief steward.
At that time, Ren Yaoqi was in the study, personally leading the maids to tidy up her study. She wanted to take most of the books in the study with her, but she was not confident in letting the maids and old women tidy it up.
When Ren Yaoqi heard that the Su family's steward brought two people to the Ren family, he didn't care much at first, until Old Lady Ren sent someone to call Ren Yaohua over.
Because Old Madam Ren has been worrying about Ren Yaohua's marriage recently, Ren Yaoqi has become a little alert and always feels that it is not a good thing.
Sure enough, when Nanny Zhou came back after hearing the news, Ren Yaoqi was so shocked and angry that words could not describe it.
"Madam, what are you talking about? Which Zeng family is proposing marriage?"
Nanny Zhou was a little surprised by Ren Yaoqi's loss of composure, but she quickly replied, "It was the new Ningxia General Zeng. He sent someone to propose marriage for his only son."
Ren Yaoqi was a little unsteady and was supported by Nanny Zhou: "Fifth Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to see a doctor?" Nanny Zhou anxiously helped Ren Yaoqi sit down on the chair.
Ren Yaoqi's heart was already in turmoil. She couldn't understand why the Zeng family would propose marriage to Ren Yaohua in this lifetime. How long had the Zeng family been in Ningxia? They hadn't even established themselves yet, and it was hard to say whether they even knew about the Ren family. Could there be something else about the Ren family that was worth exploiting?
In the previous life, it was the second wife of the second house who came to the Zeng family to speak up. Although the second wife did not show up this time, someone from the Su family did come. This should be because of the relationship with Zeng, the eldest lady of the Su family.
"What do the old man and the old lady mean?" Ren Yaoqi waved his hand to indicate that he was fine and asked with a frown.
Nanny Zhou said, "The old master had someone receive the Su family's steward in the outer courtyard, and the old lady met the person sent by the Zeng family. However, I heard that the old master and the old lady did not immediately agree to come."
Ren Yaoqi sneered, "Of course we can't agree quickly this time. After all, the Zeng family is just living under someone else's roof now. It's just that due to the Su family's favor, the Ren family can't refuse it outright."
Nanny Zhou was a little confused as to why Ren Yaoqi mentioned "this time". Was there also "last time"? However, she did not ask, thinking that Ren Yaoqi had made a slip of the tongue.
"Fifth Miss, I've also heard that Mr. Zeng has some flaws in his appearance, but when it comes to family life, one shouldn't just focus on appearance. Why do you dislike the Zeng family so much?"
Although Nanny Zhou also disapproved of Ren Yaohua marrying into the Zeng family, Ren Yaoqi's reaction was somewhat unexpected. She had previously assumed that Ren Yaoqi disliked the Zeng family because of her friendship with the Princess of Yanbei Palace and the fact that the Zeng family was affiliated with the imperial court. However, looking at Ren Yaoqi's expression, it didn't seem that simple.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't hide the disgust in his eyes and said, "I heard some rumors about the Zeng family last time. This Mr. Zeng not only has flaws in his appearance, but also has a strange personality."
Ren Yaoqi actually learned all this in his previous life after Ren Yaohua got married.
