Old Madam Ren disagreed: "It's just a simple greeting at the government office. It's a piece of cake for the Lei family. But this will ultimately damage the reputation of our Ren family, which is something your grandfather and I don't want to see. My dear child, think about it. When you marry into the Lei family, if the Ren family is not doing well, who will support you if something happens? If your mother's family is not good, how can you have a good life in your husband's family? Besides..."
Mrs. Ren paused and sighed, "I heard that the Lei family has a new woman who has come to seek refuge. Not only does she look like Lei Ting's former wife, but she's also quite cunning and resourceful." Mrs. Ren glanced at Ren Yaohua, hinting, "It's been a while since that little girl from the Lei family sent you a letter, has it?"
Ren Yaohua looked at Old Madam Ren, pursed her lips, and said nothing.
Old Madam Ren patted Ren Yaohua's somewhat stiff hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, when the Ren family gets through this difficult time, grandma will definitely make the decision for you. You don't have to worry about it."
Ren Yaohua slowly pulled her hand out of Old Lady Ren's hand, lowered her eyes and remained silent.
Old Madam Ren didn't take it seriously, and continued to whisper her arrangements for tomorrow and what she wanted Ren Yaohua to say to Lei Ting. Ren Yaohua sat there with a tense face, not opening her mouth.
Knowing that Mrs. Ren had finished her instructions, she asked, "Did you remember what Grandma said?"
Ren Yaohua was silent for a moment, and finally said with some difficulty: "Grandma, I have acted like this before I even married into the Lei family. Have you ever thought about how the Lei family will look at me?" Old Lady Ren hinted that she could use some tricks in front of Lei Ting.
Mrs. Ren smiled and said, "What's the big deal? Your wedding is not far away, and then you'll be a family."
Ren Yaohua blinked hard to suppress the soreness in her eyes. She opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing.
Old Madam Ren made the final decision: "This matter is settled. You go to Ziwei Courtyard to rest first, and come with me to Yunyang City tomorrow."
Ren Yaohua took a deep breath, lowered her head and left without saying a word. When she came out of Old Lady Ren's room, she walked in a hurry and almost knocked over the maid who was about to enter the room.
Shortly after Ren Yaohua returned to Ziwei Courtyard, Old Madam Ren sent someone to deliver a set of clothes, a headpiece, and jewelry. The clothes were exquisite, and the headpiece and jewelry were among Old Madam Ren's most valuable treasures. However, Ren Yaohua didn't even glance at the items on the table. She just sat at the head of the bed, staring blankly at the quilt embroidered with flowing clouds and a hundred blessings.
The next day, Old Lady Ren sent someone to fetch Ren Yaohua and take her to Yunyang City. Ren Yaohua said nothing, put on the clothes Old Lady Ren had prepared for her, and followed her into the carriage under her satisfied gaze.
