"Father, what's going on in the Han family?" Ren Shizhong asked after sending away the people who were trying to inquire about the news.
Ren Yonghe sat on the armchair in the study and pondered for a moment: "The Han family suspects that Han Dongshan used their family property to make a fortune. Now they are making such a fuss just to get a piece of the pie."
Ren Shizhong's face was filled with worry: "I originally thought the Han family's situation was simple, but I didn't expect it to be like this..."
Ren Yonghe waved his hand gently and said, "Whether the Han family's influence is deep or shallow is none of our business. Right now, I'm only concerned about whether the saltworks business can proceed. If the Han family is really secretly selling off their property at this moment, then they're not as wealthy as they appear to us. Han Dongshan has repeatedly, intentionally or unintentionally, revealed the Han family's strength to us. I originally thought he was trying to reassure us, but now I think he's being a little too deliberate."
Ren Shizhong couldn't help but frown: "Father, are you thinking that the Han family wants to trick us?"
Ren Yonghe didn't answer but asked, "What was the result of the last time I asked you to send someone to investigate the salt fields? Is the information credible?"
Ren Shizhong nodded: "It's roughly the same as the Han family's situation. It doesn't seem like a scam."
Ren Yonghe thought for a moment and smiled slightly: "Since it's clearly stated that I want you to check, there will naturally be no mistakes on the surface."
"No wonder I always feel that the Han family seems to be deliberately trying to get close to our Ren family. This is quite different from their usual way of doing things." Ren Shizhong couldn't help but think.
"It's hard to draw a conclusion on this matter. Let's wait and see." Ren Yonghe said calmly.
"Then the matter of the marriage between the Ren and Han families...should we also put it on hold until the situation becomes clearer?"
"Of course. The Han family must be very busy right now, and they probably can't take care of their children's marriages for the time being. It won't be too late for them to come to our Ren family to propose marriage after they have dealt with their own family affairs." Ren Yonghe said lightly.
"Yes, son, I understand." Ren Shizhong responded respectfully.
"By the way, where is Yi Yan? Didn't I ask you to keep him with you?" Ren Yonghe couldn't help but frown when he remembered that his eldest grandson had not appeared in front of him all morning.
Ren Shizhong hurriedly said, "Yi Yan caught a cold the other day, so I let him rest for a few days."
Ren Yonghe snorted coldly upon hearing this. "I heard he had a quarrel with you over the coal mine collapse that killed two miners a few days ago."
Ren Shizhong paused and lowered his head. "Yi Yan just lacks some experience. That day was the first time he went with me to handle matters at the mine, and he was a little uncomfortable."
"You don't have to defend him," Ren Yonghe interrupted. "Don't I know this is my own grandson? He's been raised in the inner chamber since he was young, spoiled by you in every way. Now he's indulged in the pleasures of the boudoir, and has developed a womanly temperament. How can such a person achieve great things in the future? How can I be confident in handing over the Ren family's fortune to you after I die?"
Ren Shizhong felt very embarrassed when he saw him openly mentioning his son's indulgence in the pleasures of the boudoir.
"My son will discipline him well in the future."
"Well, go down."
The Han family is really in trouble this time.
After lunch, the group still hadn't found a solution to the problem. The Han family wanted Han Dongshan to return the family property he had embezzled, but Han Dongshan had never seen the things he was told were from the legend, so there was no way he could satisfy the Han family's wishes.
