Ren Yaoqi had just heard the conversation between Ren Shimao and Ren Shimin and learned that weapons were found hidden in the Ren family's mine, and that Old Master Ren and Master Ren were summoned by the government. She was thinking about it in her mind.
Based on Ren Yaoqi's understanding of Xiao Jingxi, Xiao Jingxi really disdains to do such a frame-up just to teach the small Ren family a lesson. She also thought of the Han family, which had been silent for a long time.
However, Ren Yaoqi was not sure whether the Han family had heard the news so quickly and stepped on the Ren family at this juncture because of any hints from the Yanbei Palace.
It would really save trouble to let the Han family deal with the Ren family.
Because Old Master Ren did not make the feud between the Ren family and the old master of the Han family public among the younger generations, Old Madam Ren kept silent after saying that.
Everyone had dinner in the flower hall of Ronghuayuan, but before they had even started eating, the steward who had been outside to inquire about the news came running back, sweating profusely.
"Madam, something terrible has happened. The old master and the eldest master have been detained by the government."
Old Madam Ren's hand trembled, and she dropped her chopsticks. When she stood up, she lost her balance and almost fell. She said with trembling lips, "You, what did you say? What do you mean by detention?"
The eldest wife hurriedly supported Old Lady Ren, and her expression changed: "What's going on? Tell me slowly!"
The steward panted, "Originally, the authorities said they would take our old master and eldest master in for questioning, but they haven't come out for more than half a day. It was almost nightfall, so I had no choice but to spend fifty taels of silver to go find Mr. Yang to inquire about the situation. After waiting for nearly an hour, Mr. Yang finally gave me news. He told me not to wait any longer and to return quickly to find someone to discuss how to get them out. The old master and eldest master have been detained for illegally possessing weapons and are now in the government jail."
Because the Ren family was generous and had a good relationship with the government, they would consult with the government whenever they encountered any difficult issues. Sometimes, they would even ask the government to deal with one or two servants who had made mistakes. However, the master of the Ren family never thought that he would find himself in a situation where he could not leave the government.
Even when Old Master Ren and Master Ren left the Ren family, they did not think that they might be detained.
The female members of the family were all horrified by the news, and Old Lady Ren even rolled her eyes and fainted.
The eldest wife, who was closest to the old lady, couldn't hold her back and almost fell herself. She hurriedly called out, "Hurry up and support the old lady. Fifth sister-in-law, go get someone to call a doctor..."
Everyone in the Ren family was frightened by the news that Old Master Ren and the eldest master Ren were imprisoned and Old Lady Ren fainted.
Mrs. Ren Er remained calm in the face of danger. She first helped Mrs. Ren Da lead people to help the old lady to the inner room, and then invited a doctor into the house to treat old lady Ren.
Master Ren Er, Master Ren San, and Master Ren Wu were also caught off guard. After the doctor came in and examined the old lady, he said that she was just angry and her life was not in danger. They hurried out to gather their staff to think of a solution. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for recommendation or monthly ticket. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
