Zeng Kui loved being feared; the more feared he was, the happier he was. But Ren Yaohua was stubborn, and she wasn't one to yield. So, to make her fear him, Zeng Kui, in his previous life, tortured her with some despicable means, ultimately driving her to the point of killing her husband.
Everyone else liked women who were gentle and considerate, but Zeng Kui was an exception. He relished being defied. Though Zeng Kui was only a few years older than the others, he had already seen many maids and servants fall at his feet. There was even one incident where his father Zeng Yu's newly acquired concubine, not recognizing Zeng Kui, arrogantly told her to get away and not to offend her. Zeng Kui then dragged her back to his own courtyard, unconcerned that she was his father's new favorite.
However, Zeng Yu only had one son, Zeng Kui, and he doted on him. Therefore, these matters were well concealed by the Zeng family. Furthermore, now that they had left Jingdu and come to Yanbei, no one knew about these dirty deeds within the Zeng family's inner court. Ren Yaoqi only learned about this after Mr. Pei told her about it after she arrived in Jingdu.
So in the eyes of others, Zeng Kui may just be a boy with facial defects, but in Ren Yaoqi's eyes, flies and maggots are cleaner than him.
Nanny Zhou saw Ren Yaoqi's expression and knew that the rumors she had heard were definitely not good, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
After Ren Yaohua came back, Ren Yaoqi went to find her. When she learned from Xiangqin that Ren Yaohua had met Zeng Kui once in Yunyang City, Ren Yaoqi was speechless for a long time.
Is this the fate of evil? I went through so much trouble and thought I had avoided it, but I still encountered it.
In his previous life, Zeng Kui hadn't accompanied Zeng Yu when he first arrived in Yanbei; he arrived later on his own. At that time, Ren Yaohua was already under house arrest, making it impossible for her to have met Zeng Kui. In this life, Ren Yaoqi schemed to make Zeng Yu's title of Ningxia General unworthy of his status, but Ren Yaohua still couldn't escape this fateful relationship.
However, even if it was a bad fate, Ren Yaoqi would never watch Ren Yaohua fall into the fire pit.
What they didn't know was that shortly after the people sent by the Zeng family left, the Ren family received letters from the old man of the second branch of the Kyoto family and Fang Yacun at the same time.
The Second House's old master somehow learned that the Zeng family wanted to marry a girl from the Ren family. He didn't inquire about Zeng Kui's dirty deeds in the inner court, or perhaps he didn't take them seriously. Instead, he learned that Zeng Yu had been a favorite with the emperor for the past six months, a rising star in the court. He also urged Old Master Ren not to be so narrow-minded and focus solely on the Zeng family's current disadvantages in Yanbei. He reminded Old Master Ren that Zeng Yu was a capable official. If given even the slightest chance, he would rise to fame and success, and his future was limitless.
If the letter from the second branch of the Ren family was something the old man would just take a look at and leave it at that, then the letter from Fang Yacun made the old man hesitate.
Fang Yacun casually mentioned in the letter that the eunuch Lu who helped him a lot actually had some friendship with Zeng Yu. After learning about this, he jokingly said that he would come to ask for a glass of wedding wine.
