And is Sun Shiyi Niang the woman who hanged herself in the previous life because she was humiliated by Ren Yaohua?
Ren Shimin did not take the painting home to be repaired. He might have found Sun Shiyi Niang in a calligraphy and painting shop, and the so-called golden house where a beautiful woman was hidden was probably the place where the painting was originally repaired. That's why people outside misunderstood that he had a mistress.
Otherwise, based on Ren Shimin's personality, he would not get too close to a woman for romantic reasons.
After thinking so much, Ren Yaoqi felt more and more that it was no accident that Ren Yaohua in her previous life finally married into the Zeng family. The calculations against her never stopped from the beginning to the end.
Because the enemy knew that if they destroyed Ren Yaohua, no one would be able to stop her from controlling the third house. If Ren Yaohua could maintain a good reputation and marry a suitable husband, given her personality, she would return to her parents' home to support the Li family when they needed her.
But would Ren Yaohua no longer be worried if she married Zeng Kui? After all, Zeng Kui was the only son of the Ningxia general. Although he had some flaws in appearance, he was not someone the Ren family could afford to offend.
Could it be that Ren Yaohua's death wasn't an accident, but rather someone had set her up for certain death from the very beginning?
But what was this scheme? When had it been set up? Did she ever imagine that it would eventually spiral out of control, leading to the annihilation of the entire Ren family?
The more Ren Yaoqi thought about it, the more frightened he became.
She also had a premonition that perhaps Sun Shiyi Niang's matter was not as simple as she thought, and there must be something that she had not thought of yet.
"What's wrong with you?" Ren Yaohua noticed that Ren Yaoqi stopped walking and his face looked a little bad, so she couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Ren Yaoqi gathered his troubled thoughts and shook his head. "It's nothing. I just thought that since Sun Shiyi Niang was brought here by Concubine Fang and she looks a bit like my cousin, I have to investigate her background."
Ren Yaohua nodded: "Of course, I'll have someone investigate this matter and let you know when there's any result."
Ren Yaohua acted very quickly. When they went to Li's room to say goodnight together in the evening, the news came back.
"Sun Shiyi Niang's grandfather and father were both framers in a calligraphy and painting shop in Yunyang City. The shop also took on some work of repairing calligraphy and paintings, and she learned it from childhood. The two paintings of beauties by Concubine Fang were bought with the help of the shopkeeper of the calligraphy and painting shop. After learning that Sun Shiyi Niang was also a master of mounting, Concubine Fang brought her back and recommended her to her father. Sun Shiyi Niang's husband was originally the owner of a medicine shop. Later, one time when he went into the mountains to collect medicine from the mountain people, he accidentally fell from the mountain and broke both his legs. The medicine shop gave him a sum of money and let him go home. Now he is living in Liujiazhuang, his hometown of Jizhou, with his and Sun Shiyi Niang's daughter, and Sun Shiyi Niang has to go out to take on some work to support the family." Ren Yaohua whispered to Ren Yaoqi about the news she had asked someone to inquire about.
Got married and had a daughter...
Ren Yaoqi still wondered if Sun Shiyi Niang was that woman. In her previous life, it seemed Sun Shiyi Niang hadn't come to the Ren family, or perhaps she had come once and Ren Yaohua had seen her, but she hadn't known about it. Back then, she was under house arrest and rarely left the house. Only her father would visit her occasionally and teach her to paint.
Could it be that because Sun Shiyi Niang happened to look like Fang Hui, and Ren Yaohua knew about the past between Fang Hui and their father, so when she saw Fang Hui in that house, she assumed that she was her father's concubine?
"Aunt Fang treated Sun Shiyi Niang very well. She paid her twice as much as others and even invited her to the yard for tea and a meal. Apart from that, there was nothing special." Ren Yaohua had already told everything she had learned today.
