"Why didn't you remarry? Well, I do have a niece..." The woman couldn't help but become interested after hearing this.
The other man chuckled upon hearing this and interrupted jokingly, "Alright, with the Lei family's pedigree and Mr. Lei's talent, you think no one would have this idea? Unfortunately, Mr. Lei is a man of loyalty and loyalty. He said he would remain faithful to his wife for three years. Even Mrs. Lei had no choice but to let him do what he wanted. I heard that Mrs. Lei passed away two years ago, so there's still a year left."
"Oh, he's quite a love-struck man."
At this time, someone else interrupted: "I think you don't have to be so anxious to marry your niece into the Lei family. It's hard to say whether it's a good thing or a bad thing."
This newcomer to the conversation clearly had something else to say.
"What are you saying? The Lei family's family background is unmatched in Yanbei, except for the Yanbei Palace and the Yun family. Isn't this a good family? Besides, the Lei family's master has such good looks and talent that it's hard to find anyone with a lantern. Even if he were to remarry, there would be plenty of girls willing to marry him."
"That's right. My aunt also asked me about the situation of Mr. Lei's family before." Someone else joined the conversation. The topic of the Lei family attracted many people.
Ren Yaoqi sat there drinking tea, occasionally looking up at Ren Yaohua, and saw that she was peeling peanuts. The flesh was picked out and placed on the silk handkerchief, but Miss Ren San only peeled the hard shell and was too lazy to remove the red skin on the kernel.
The women behind the screen were still chatting.
"I heard that the Lei family's origins might be a bit questionable."
These words startled the women.
"Isn't this possible?"
"How is that possible?"
Ren Yaoqi's fingers tapped lightly on the small table, and his lowered eyes hid the thoughtful look in his eyes.
"I also heard it from someone. Didn't that Madam Lei just now say she was from the Huayin Liu family?"
"Yeah, what's the matter? Although the Liu family is in decline now," someone couldn't wait to ask.
The woman hesitated for a moment and said vaguely, "I heard it from others, so I don't know the details."
Some people sneered: "You are talking nonsense." Some people were perfunctory and didn't seem to believe it.
The woman didn't argue, but smiled and said, "Just treat it as nonsense. How about I drink a couple of more glasses to make amends later?"
After she said this, some people became suspicious.
"Hey, where did you hear all this?"
The woman smiled and said, "Many people are spreading it. You will know it later anyway." After saying this, she refused to speak again and left with an excuse.
Ren Yaoqi raised his eyes and glanced at Xiangqin. Xiangqin understood and quietly turned around and left.
After Ren Yaohua peeled a handful of peanuts, she wrapped them in a handkerchief, waved to a maid and told her to give the peanut kernels to the little girl from the Lei family.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Ren Yaohua with a smile in his eyes.
Ren Yaohua remained calm and drank his tea with his head down.
