Old Mrs. Ren had only guessed a little at first, but now that Old Master Ren understood so clearly, how could she not understand?
"You are waiting until the Yanbei Palace is planning to hold a wedding for the Second Young Master Xiao. Our Ren family..."
Old Master Ren stroked his beard and said nothing.
Old Madam Ren frowned and thought for a moment, "If that's the case, then who do you think is suitable? I don't know how long this Second Young Master Xiao can hold out, but the girls of the Ren family want him."
Old Master Ren said calmly, "The marriages of the third and fourth girls can be decided first. We still need to wait and see about the Han family's marriage, but the Qiu family's can be decided."
Old Madam Ren hesitated. "I originally thought Hua'er could be betrothed to the Han family, and Yin'er to Yun'er. But now that the Han family's marriage has failed, we can't arrange Yin'er's marriage before Hua'er's elder sister. Should we marry Hua'er off to the Qiu family?"
Old Master Ren glanced at Old Madam Ren and said, "I know you and Hua'er have always gotten along well, and I'm partial to her more than my other granddaughters. But marriage is a big deal, and you can't just rely on personal preference. The most important thing is to see who is the most suitable."
Mrs. Ren was a little embarrassed when she heard this, and she said defensively: "Isn't it also considering their ranking?"
Old Master Ren was unimpressed by Old Lady Ren's excuses and said bluntly, "I think Yin'er is more suitable. Although Qiu Yun is the third child in his generation, he is the eldest son of the Qiu family's eldest branch. The position of the head of the Qiu family will definitely fall to him in the future. His wife must be calm and capable of shouldering important responsibilities. Hua'er is not bad either, but her ability to cultivate qi is far inferior to Yin'er's. Moreover, Yin'er is the daughter of the eldest branch, and our Ren family will also be headed by the eldest branch in the future. Marrying Yin'er into the Qiu family will make the relationship between the Ren and Qiu families closer in the future."
After hearing what Old Man Ren said, Old Lady Ren knew that he had made his decision, so it was not good for her to say anything more. Ren Yaoyin was also raised by her, so even if she was more partial to Ren Yaohua, her bias would not be too outrageous.
"As for the Yanbei Palace..." Old Master Ren has already made the decision, so Old Madam Ren will not bother you about this matter anymore.
Old Master Ren said, "Isn't the Fifth Girl good friends with the Princess? Maybe she'll have a chance to show herself in front of the people in the Yanbei Palace in the future."
In addition to Ren Yaohua and Ren Yaoyin, the girls currently waiting to be married in Xifu are Ren Yaoqi, Ren Yaoyu and Ren Yaoying.
Ren Yaoyin had already been chosen by Old Master Ren to marry to the Qiu family. Old Madam Ren was reluctant to part with Ren Yaohua, but she was a few years older and worried she couldn't wait. Ren Yaoying was a concubine's daughter, and her status was low, so she was worried the Yanbei Palace wouldn't look down on her. This was out of the question. Ren Yaoyu was the granddaughter of the head of the Lin family, and the Lin family's Old Madam and First Wife were protective. There was no need for the Ren family to openly offend the Lin family over this matter. That left Ren Yaoqi as the most suitable candidate.
Old Madam Ren thought about it and understood. She had never paid much attention to her granddaughter, Ren Yaoqi, so she didn't see anything wrong with Old Master Ren's decision to send her to the Yanbei Palace for a happy occasion. Marriage was a matter of course, and one had to obey the elders' arrangements.
"But even if it's for the purpose of bringing good luck, the Yanbei Palace is still the Yanbei Palace, and there are many people who rush to give them people. If they are not presentable, the Yanbei Palace will not look down on them. So you must pay attention to the fifth girl. No matter how much you dislike her, she will still be our Ren family's aunt when she gets married in the future."
This was the third time today that Old Master Ren had reminded Old Madam Ren not to underestimate Ren Yaoqi's words. Old Madam Ren knew that this was Old Master Ren's true concern for the matter, and couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, I'm not the type to be so careless. I'll take good care of Fifth Girl in the future."
Only then was Old Master Ren satisfied.
On the second day, Ren Yaoqi clearly noticed the change in Old Lady Ren's attitude towards him.
