In fact, given Ren Yaoting's proud personality, she should have looked down on Zeng Shi, who had a meager dowry. However, after just a few days together, she had already taken a liking to Zeng Shi, which showed that Zeng Shi was no ordinary woman.
"Okay. If you want to hear about my cousin's wife, I'll tell you in detail later. I called you here because I wanted to tell you about what happened between us last time." Ren Yaoting lowered his voice.
Ren Yaoqi pretended to be confused: "Which thing is Seventh Sister talking about?"
"The Han family's salt field..." Ren Yaoting reminded.
"Oh, so that's what happened. Seventh sister, did you really mention it to the elders?" Ren Yaoqi widened her eyes.
Ren Yaoting covered her mouth and smiled: "You think I'm just for fun, don't you?"
"What's the result?" Ren Yaoqi asked with a smile.
Ren Yaoting sat closer to Ren Yaoqi. "I originally wanted to bring this up with my mother, but I was afraid she'd figure it out. It just so happened that my eldest cousin was getting married, and my mother was taking me to Yunyang City, so I thought it would be better to just go directly with my maternal grandparents. So I found an opportunity to stop my eldest cousin and have him go with my uncle, but I didn't expect my aunt to see us. She asked me a lot of questions, including where I heard them. Some of them were my own thoughts, and some were overheard from the chatter of a few stewards when I went to the West Mansion. I didn't expect my aunt to tell my grandfather and uncle about this directly."
Ren Yaoting paused, looked at Ren Yaoqi and said with a smile, "Guess what the result is?"
"Do your grandfather and uncle think this is feasible?" Ren Yaoqi asked with a smile.
Ren Yaoting shook his head. "How could this be so simple? But my grandfather has already sent my eldest uncle to Xining to investigate before making any plans."
Business people naturally don't believe in rumors. When the Ren family decided to cooperate with the Han family, they sent people to Xining to investigate. So Ren Yaoqi was not surprised. Since the Su family was willing to send people to gather information, it was clear that they were interested in this matter.
Ren Yaoqi had previously thought that the salt fields mentioned by the Han family were just empty traps to lure the Ren family into taking the bait. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for the Han family to get the best salt wells with their current strength.
But then she thought again, given the Ren family's caution, if this was really a groundless rumor, Old Master Ren would not be able to find out anything.
Now that she knew the Han family was involved with the Yanbei Palace, the salt well incident must be true. She just didn't know what the connection was between the Han family's salt wells and the Yanbei Palace's use of the Han family.
If we can use the Su family to test it, it may not be a bad idea.
"What are you thinking about? Did you listen to me?" Ren Yaoting couldn't help but say angrily when he saw that Ren Yaoqi seemed to be thinking about something.
Ren Yaoqi looked at Ren Yaoting and smiled slightly: "Well, I'm listening. I just think it will take some time to get from Yunyang City to Xining to get the news."
Ren Yaoting's anger turned into joy: "Of course. But my maternal grandparents have always had someone guarding Xining, so it should be a lot more convenient."
Ren Yaoqi nodded: "That's much more convenient.
The two were talking all the way. Ren Yaoqi found that Ren Yaoting was particularly talkative today. He must be happy because he felt that he was one step closer to his goal. You know, Ren Yaoting usually only talked a lot to people he liked, and never paid much attention to her in the past.
