This time, it was the sharp-eyed Third Young Mistress who first noticed something was wrong. She stared with her big eyes and screamed, "Grandpa! Grandpa! Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Oh no, Grandpa is scared to death by the old lady!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this and looked towards Old Master Ren lying on the bed, only to find that Old Master Ren had passed away without knowing Shi Min, but his eyes were still open, as if he had died with his eyes open.
Nanny Zhou watched this farce coldly. When everyone rushed to the head of Old Master Ren's bed and no one noticed her, she curled the corners of her mouth, then wiped her eyes with her sleeves and wiped away her tears along with Li.
Le Shui glanced at Old Mrs. Ren who was being carried away by many people, and cried very seriously and devoutly.
Because of this incident, the Ren family was in chaos. However, Ren Shimin, who was originally forced to the point of suffocation, finally had no one staring at him anymore. He stared blankly at Old Master Ren, who had died on the bed and whose eyes were being gently closed by Master Ren's hands. His eyes also turned red.
Mr. and Mrs. Ren began to deal with the funeral of Mr. Ren, while the eldest and third young ladies went down together to help take care of Mrs. Ren.
The eldest young lady privately said to the third young lady with gratitude: "Thank you so much just now. If you hadn't pulled me up at the end, I would have fallen down too, and I might have fainted now."
The Third Young Mistress' eyes had also turned red from crying, but she was still very cheerful to the First Young Mistress: "What's there to thank me for? I just grabbed her casually. I thought I was grabbing an old lady. I'm so glad you didn't fall."
The eldest young lady gave the third young lady a sincere smile in return: "Thank you again."
Old Mrs. Ren's fall made Old Master Ren's threat of death fail in the end. Old Mrs. Ren's nose was broken due to excessive blood loss and she also lost her ability to move, so Ren Shimin was temporarily safe. Without the two people who relied on their seniority to bully others, the rest of the Ren family did not dare to offend Ren Shimin.
I just don't know who made Old Master Ren die with his eyes open in the end. Because of the Third Young Lady's wailing at the end, the maids and servants outside actually thought that Old Master Ren was scared to death by Old Madam Ren's miserable condition, which saved Ren Shimin a lot of trouble.
Old Master Ren died on New Year's Eve. According to the customs of Yanbei, it is not appropriate to hold funerals on the first day of the New Year, otherwise the family will have three years of bad luck if they hold a funeral. Therefore, Old Master Ren's funeral had to wait until the fourth day of the New Year.
Ren Shimin stayed in Baihe Town and did not leave for the time being. He wanted to wait until the funeral of Old Master Ren was over before leaving. However, he refused to live in the Ren family mansion, and instead found another place to live outside. Old Mrs. Ren was injured on her face this time, and her nose was swollen so high that she could not see anyone, so she had no time to take care of him.
Starting from the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, people came to the Ren family to pay their respects.
Although Ren Yaoqi spent the New Year in the Yanbei Palace, it was not a peaceful life after all. On the fourth day of the New Year, she and Ren Yaohua went to the Ren family in Baihe Town to see Old Master Ren off for the last time.
Xiao Jingxi and other people from the Yanbei Palace did not show up.
