On the second night, the person in charge of keeping an eye on Ren Yaoying finally got news that a man had entered the house where Ren Yaoying lived. The man did not come out until early the next morning.
Naturally, the man's identity was soon discovered. When Ren Yaoqi heard the name reported by the people below, he was not too surprised. This man was an acquaintance. He was Zhou Wen, the young master Zhou who had an unclear relationship with Ren Yaoying back then.
Zhou Wen's life was going smoothly. He had real academic potential, and though he'd been depressed for a while after his failure in the exam, his luck had improved since he got married, and he'd done well in this year's provincial examination. His father-in-law, a moderately important local official in Zhuozhou, had found him a lucrative position in Yizhou, promising him a promising future.
Although Zhou Wen already had a beautiful wife, his wife had given birth to a son last year, and he also took one of her beautiful maids as his concubine, but Zhou Wen was a playboy by nature, and somehow he hooked up with Ren Yaoying again. It is true that a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a secret lover.
Comparing the now high-spirited and handsome Zhou Wen with the wrinkled Mr. He, who could be her grandfather, the difference was immediately apparent. She was therefore unwilling to marry into the He family. Somehow, she persuaded Zhou Wen to rent a house in Yunyang City for her to stay temporarily. Once the He family broke off the engagement and the Ren family no longer wanted her, she could follow Zhou Wen to Yizhou to take up her post.
The Zhou family only has one son, Zhou Wen, so his wife has to stay in Yunyang City to serve her parents-in-law. Ren Yaoying has a very good plan. When she follows Zhou Wen to take up his post, Zhou Wen will seldom return to Yunyang City once a year. Naturally, his relationship with his wife cannot compare to that with her, the one who serves him. After another three to five years, when Zhou Wen has established himself and no longer needs the help of his wife's family, he will divorce his wife. Then she will resume her status as a lady of the Ren family, and Zhou Wen can marry her. By then, she will be a proper official's wife.
Ren Yaoying is very good at calculating, but unfortunately she has her aunt's ambition but not her aunt's brains.
After Ren Yaoqi found out about these things, she asked someone to talk to Li and asked her to wait for Ren Shimin to come back and handle it. She herself continued to busy herself with this year's New Year gifts.
After Ren Shimin came back from visiting his friend, he heard Li tell him about Ren Yaoying. Ren Shimin said nothing at the time, but the next day he sent someone to take his letter to the government.
At noon, while Li and Ren Shimin were eating at the same table, Ren Shimin casually said to Li, "Send someone to Baihe Town to collect some of her old belongings. Considering she's been named Ren for over a decade, find a place to bury her near the Ren family's ancestral tomb. She was unmarried, so find a thin coffin and keep everything simple."
Li was stunned for a long time after hearing this: "Master, what you mean is..."
Ren Shimin picked up his chopsticks and said, "There will be no such person as Ren Yaoying from now on."
Master Ren promptly and decisively removed Ren Yaoying's household registration, rendering her a deceased person. Official documents listed her cause of death as suicide after encountering bandits.
