Ren Yiyan glanced at the master. After a moment's silence, he said with difficulty, "Father, let's forget it."
Ren Yijun's expression softened slightly, but his next words were as sharp as a knife, piercing everyone's heart and lungs: "Did you hear that? If you still insist on having your own way, then we naturally have no say. But I will leave the Ren family like Third Uncle and Fifth Uncle did! From now on, everything that happens in the Ren family has nothing to do with me!"
Normally, Ren Yiyan would have tried to dissuade his brother if he heard him say such things. But today, after looking at Ren Yijun, he said nothing, only frowning and lowering his head in silence.
Ren Yijun glanced at Ren Yiyan and said to Master Ren, "My eldest brother and I will not take over the Ren family business. You can hand it over to whoever you like in the future. However, I'm afraid that our family can no longer find a male heir who can inherit the Ren family. I wonder if my grandfather, who left this will, would feel that all his efforts were in vain."
Master Ren was stunned when he heard this.
The Ren family's East and West branches had completely severed ties. The third and fifth brothers of the West branch's eldest master's generation had all left the family, leaving only the eldest master's line. However, if Ren Yijun and Ren Yiyan both abandoned the Ren family, the family would truly be without a successor.
"You..." Master Ren stared at Ren Yiju, then looked at Ren Yiyan.
Ren Yiyan noticed his father's gaze. Always one to obey his elders, he remained silent for a moment, ultimately not daring to meet his father's gaze. His intention was clear: he would stand by Ren Yijun.
Master Ren closed his eyes tightly, then staggered and almost fell.
Ren Yijun pursed his lips and said, "Please think about it carefully." After saying this, Ren Yijun stopped being aggressive. He glanced back at the tablets, a slightly sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he left the ancestral hall without looking back.
Afterwards, Master Ren and Ren Yiyan also left the ancestral hall. Master Ren did not dare to let anyone know about the situation outside the ancestral hall. He had to wait for the first wife to come and ask her to handle it personally.
What no one expected was that as soon as Master Ren and Ren Yijun left, the cloth covering the altar suddenly moved, and then a person crawled out from under the dark table. Finally, he was hit on the knee by the tablet on the ground, and sat down on the ground with a cry of "ouch".
After realizing where she was, she rolled to her feet, clasped her hands together, and begged for mercy in front of the tablet: "Please forgive me, my ancestors. I just want to save the descendants of the Ren family. I heard that doing too many bad things will lead to the extinction of your family lineage, and I'm afraid... Hehe, can you understand?"
After saying this, the woman quickly and decisively slipped away from the ancestral hall, crawling and rolling, as if there was a ghost chasing her.
The incident of Ren Yijun angrily breaking into the Ren family ancestral hall was finally suppressed by the skillful Mrs. Ren and never spread.
From that day on, Master Ren never had a good night's sleep again. He always had dreams at night, but he didn't know what he dreamed about, and he always woke up in the middle of the night.
The well diggers stopped digging, and the Ren family returned to a long-lost peace. For the declining Ren family, this eerie silence was unsettling. Old Mrs. Ren was oblivious to all this.
However, Master Ren did not agree to sell the house.
Ren Yijun couldn't stand Master Ren's irresponsible behavior. After waiting for three days, he finally lost his patience and told Qi to pack up her luggage and leave the Ren family.
