Mrs. Ren's eyes suddenly turned red. "Third brother, mother came here in person to ask you to come home. Do you want to send your mother back too? I carried you for ten months and gave birth to you!"
Ren Shimin pursed her lips. "Even when the family was in its most difficult time, I never thought of abandoning them. But they abandoned me when my future was uncertain. But now I've figured it out, so I don't blame anyone. But what's been done cannot be undone. I will never go back. There's no need to say more, old lady."
Old Lady Ren knew Ren Shimin's stubborn temper. Those who weren't familiar with him thought he was good-tempered and easy to talk to. But in reality, Ren Shimin was the most difficult of the Ren brothers to serve. Old Lady Ren didn't particularly like the middle son, preferring her eldest and youngest sons.
Then Old Lady Ren looked at Li again and said, "You are a good child. Please help your mother to persuade Shi Min. He is being stubborn again. You should know how difficult it will be for a person to have no family in the future."
Ren Shimin said impatiently: "Since even she knows that a person without a family will have a very difficult life, why didn't you understand it at the beginning and insisted on pushing me to a dead end? Since I have already been abandoned by the family, it is only right that I be picked up again!"
Old Mrs. Ren's face turned pale, and she could only look at the soft-hearted and easy-to-control Li with pleading eyes.
However, Li lowered her head and whispered, "I, I listen to my husband."
Old Madam Ren was so angry that she almost threw the tea bowl. In the end, she could only put the tea bowl on the table with shaking hands, forced a smile, and waved to Ren Yaoqi: "Good boy, come here."
Ren Yaoqi looked at Ren Shimin and Li, then lowered his head and stood in front of Old Lady Ren.
Old Madam Ren's face brightened. She took Ren Yaoqi's hand and said lovingly, "Qi'er, you haven't been home for a long time. How about going back with grandma to accompany her this time? Grandma has left you many precious things, waiting to be given to you as a dowry when you get married."
Ren Yaoqi let Old Lady Ren hold her hand: "Thank you for your kindness, Old Lady, but my mother said that I still have a lot of rules to learn and cannot leave. I hope Old Lady will forgive me."
Old Mrs. Ren hit a snag.
No matter how earnestly Mrs. Ren tried to persuade them, even coaxing and deceiving them, neither Mrs. Li nor Ren Yaoqi would respond. It seemed that as long as Ren Shimin didn't give in, they would obey their husband's orders and their father's orders respectively, and neither dared to disobey Ren Shimin. But Mrs. Ren had no way to deal with Ren Shimin.
After much trouble, Mrs. Ren finally returned to Baihe Town without success.
But the matter is not over yet.
The Ren family's affairs were originally just family affairs, not particularly glorious, so no one publicized them. However, the day after Old Madam Ren left Yunyang City, word spread. It was said that Princess Jiayi, now so proud of herself, was using her family's influence to please her mother-in-law. Even when her mother-in-law came to her house to seek peace, she was driven away by her servants. Meanwhile, Ren Shimin, the prince, had forgotten his mother after getting a wife, and now he was subservient to the princess, following his wife's lead to please his mother.
