Although Mr. Ren San felt that even if he said he disagreed, Mr. Ren would not accept his opinion, even though he was Ren Yaohua's father.
Ren Yaoqi knew that Third Master Ren's words might not work with Old Master Ren, but she was still happy to hear that he was willing to go back and fight for Ren Yaohua. Li was also very happy.
On the second day, Mr. Ren San indeed went back to Baihe Town specifically for Ren Yaohua's marriage.
But the final outcome was just as they expected. Old Master Ren merely listened, not taking Ren Shimin's father's opinion seriously. After weighing the pros and cons, Old Master Ren decided that marrying into the Zeng family was a good option. As for the Yanbei Palace's attitude, wasn't there the Su family, also related to the Zeng family by marriage? The Su family had remained stable over the years, even enjoying considerable support from the Yanbei Palace.
The conflict between the imperial court and Yanbei has been going on for a long time, and it's not something that can be resolved overnight. However, the exchanges between Jiangnan and Yanbei have never been affected. Even if the Zeng family and the Yanbei royal palace were to become enemies one day, affecting the Ren family's marriage, the worst that could happen would be forfeiting a daughter.
Old Master Ren has made a good plan. Now that the situation is unclear, he is standing on both sides. He will stand firm when the situation becomes clear one day.
Because he had already anticipated Old Master Ren's attitude, when Third Master Ren went back and told Ren Yaoqi about this matter, Ren Yaoqi was not too disappointed.
However, after Ren Yaohua heard about it, she found Ren Yaoqi and said bluntly, "I heard that Grandfather has already planned to officially accept the Zeng family and will place an engagement soon? I would rather cut my hair and become a nun than marry someone like Zeng Kui."
If it weren't for her last encounter with Zeng Kui at the White Dragon Temple, Ren Yaohua might not have been so opposed to this marriage. But now that she had seen Zeng Kui's true face, if someone as proud as Ren Yaohua were to marry Zeng Kui and let him abuse her, she would be worse than death.
Ren Yaoqi smiled and comforted Ren Yaohua, "Don't worry, Third Sister. This kind of thing won't happen."
I swear I won’t let you marry into the Zeng family! Ren Yaoqi swore secretly in her heart.
That afternoon, when Ren Yaoqi sent someone to deliver a letter to Xiao Jinglin at the Yanbei Palace, he also enclosed an unsigned letter.
In the evening, Ren Yaoqi received a reply letter which was also unsigned.
Ren Yaoqi read the letter silently under the lamp, thought for a while, and then threw the letter into the incense burner and burned it.
On the second day, Ren Yaoqi asked Li if he could visit his maternal grandparents' home.
When they first moved in, the Rong family sent someone to deliver some food, all of which were homemade meals. Although Ren Shimin didn't like the Yue family, he was also polite, so he sent someone to send a generous return gift, but that was the extent of the interaction between the two families.
Li thought that her mother Rong's birthday would be in a month or so, and she would go back to visit her parents then. So, apart from sending gifts to Prince Xian's Mansion twice, she had not returned to her parents' home.
When Li heard that Ren Yaoqi wanted to visit his grandparents, she was happy. She knew that Ren Yaoqi often went to see Rong when he was in Yunyang City.
For many reasons, she couldn't go back to her parents' home often and cause gossip, but it didn't matter if Ren Yaoqi went.
