Scheme of the Official Descendant

As an ordinary merchant in Yanbei, the Ren family would not have been involved in these political struggles, but the Ren family ran into the gunpoint of the Yanbei Palace.

Ren Yijun was thinking about the deeds of the elders of the Ren family. If his grandfather and father can come back safely this time and learn a lesson from this incident, then the Ren family may continue to have a foothold in Yanzhou in the future. There is always a day when a ship capsizes.

Ren Yijun didn't feel that his thoughts were unfounded. The imprisoning of the old master Ren and Mr. Ren today already indicated that the Ren family was going downhill.

It was at this moment that Ren Yijun realized that he was useless. Qi Yuegui was not wrong to scold him on weekdays. If he wasn't the third young master of the Ren family, what else could he do? If one day he is no longer the third young master of the Ren family, what can he do?

This afternoon, Ren Yijun and Qi Yuegui just stayed in the flower garden. After the conversation with Qi Yuegui, he thought a lot, but Qi Yuegui fell asleep on top of him at some point.

After Ren Yijun noticed it, he frowned and looked at the drooling sleeper with disgust. He reached out his hand hesitantly and wanted to push her to the ground, but when his hand touched her shoulder, something went wrong She slowly moved her body and adjusted her posture so that she could sleep more comfortably.

Ren Yijun secretly made excuses for his behavior, and when the third young master Ren finally came to his downfall, the only woman who could support him was probably only this woman who only asked for three bowls of rice, so in the future, I would like to eat a little more. Give her a good look.

At this time, at the Ronghuayuan, Fifth Master Ren and Third Master Ren finally took Eldest Master Ren Ren Shizhong back.

It's just that everyone was taken aback when they saw Ren Shizhong.

Ren Shizhong, as the eldest son of the Ren family, is the next head of the Ren family recognized by the old master Ren. He pays great attention to his image on weekdays. At least every time he appears in front of people, he always wears steady and bright clothes. His words and deeds are also very family-like.

But today Ren Shizhong was helped back by brothers Ren Shimao and Ren Shimin.

The crow-blue hang silk straight gown that Ren Shizhong wore when he went out was wrinkled to the point of wrinkle. Although now he was wearing a dark blue satin cloak that was on Ren Shimao's carriage, it was exposed. The hem of the clothes still looks a little damaged.

His eyes are black and blue, he looks very tired, his lips are even more dehydrated and chapped, and although the bun on his head is not crooked, it can still be seen that he hastily combed it not long ago.

The old lady Ren was so shocked when she saw him that she yelled "Da Lang" and was speechless, and when the old lady Ren knelt down in front of the old lady Ren, she also looked a little excited, the old lady and the young lady watched Wipe away tears.

The old lady Ren also cried for a while, and then remembered that the old lady Ren was still in the prison cell of the government and had not been released, but looking at the current appearance of the old lady Ren, the old lady Ren was really afraid to ask about the old lady Ren's current situation.

It was Ren Shijia who hurriedly asked, "Brother, did you suffer in prison? Where is your father? How is father now?"

Mr. Ren said with a tired face: "The jailers didn't beat anyone, but they have been interrogated for the past two days, and they only slept for less than two hours. The prison is very damp and cold. I'm fine, my father is caught. Liang felt a little hot. Originally, I wanted my father to come out, and I continued to stay in the prison, but to put it bluntly, the government refused to let my father out, saying that he was the current head of the Ren family. Don't come out yet, my father and I can be taken care of together, but my father doesn't agree. When I came out today, the fifth brother and the others had already begged Lord Mu to invite a doctor for my father."

Master Ren Fifth also sighed and said, "It's just that the yamen doesn't allow us to go in and visit. They say that the case is very involved, and they are afraid that my father will confess to someone outside, so I need to take my father into custody before the truth comes to light."

The old lady Ren became more apprehensive.

Third Master Ren said: "It's good that elder brother can come back, at least you are more familiar with these official affairs than me and fifth younger brother. Father still relies on you."

The old lady Ren also remembered, and hurriedly said: "Da Lang, go back and rest first, and then find a way to rescue your father after you rest. It doesn't matter how much money you spend, as long as he can come out." Without it, Mrs. Ren seemed to have lost her backbone. She really couldn't imagine what would happen if Mrs. Ren really couldn't come back.

Mr. Ren is indeed so tired that he can't even stand up, but he knows that whether it is to save Mrs. Ren from prison or to let the Ren family survive this catastrophe safely, he needs to make up his mind. This is what Mr. Ren must do. reason for his return.

Master Ren asked his wife to help him sit on the upholstered chair brought up by the servant girl: "I'll go back and rest after I explain a few more words."

The old lady Ren immediately said: "Tell me. Did your father tell you something?"

Mr. Ren thought for a while, and then said: "From the words of those officials who interrogated my father and me when we were in prison for the past two days, it can be inferred that the Ren family's misfortune today may indeed have something to do with the Zeng family."

When old lady Ren and everyone in the room thought of what Ren Yijun said today, their expressions changed, and old lady Ren's expression was especially pretty.

Master Ren glanced at Third Master Ren and sighed: "Third Brother, maybe I should have listened to you that day, not marrying the Zeng family."

Ren Yaohua, who was standing outside, heard the words and glanced at Ren Yaoqi. Ren Yaoqi stood on the side with her head down, with no expression on her face.

The old lady Ren said: "What's the use of talking about it now, not to mention that we haven't officially exchanged birthday cards with the Zeng family, and we can't be regarded as serious family members. The other end of the Zeng family just rejects it." The old lady Ren said Here he asked Senior Master Ren with some worry, "What will happen if we don't marry the Zeng family? Will the government let your father come back?"

Master Ren sighed: "It depends on the intention of Yanbei Palace."

The old lady Ren said anxiously: "This is not enough? Then what else should I do?"

Mr. Ren was silent for a moment before he said: "I'm afraid the Ren family needs to give up the coal warehouse in the capital first."

The old lady Ren frowned immediately: "How can this be done? The Ren family's coal warehouse has finally grown to the scale it is today. Don't you know how much effort your father has spent on it over the years?"

It was the old man's wish to open the Ren family's coal warehouses throughout Dazhou, and it was also the last wish of the late old man Ren Baoming.

Master Ren said: "Father said that if there is no other choice, the Ren family can only throw their pawns and bail the car."

Old Madam Ren couldn't help but look downcast. At this time, Old Madam Ren couldn't help but resent Dongfu and Fang's family in her heart. Originally, Old Madam Ren didn't intend to accept the Zeng family immediately, but at that time, she received Dongfu and the Fang family. A letter from the second old man and Fang Yacun.

After Mr. Ren said so much, he couldn't hold on anymore.

Mrs. Ren hurriedly said: "Master, you should go back and rest first. Since father has already said so, we will follow suit. If you don't rest well, how can you have the experience to deal with the next thing?"

Old Madam Ren also said: "You go and rest, I will arrange someone from the Zeng's house to go over and refuse, and the rest of the matter will be discussed after you have rested."

This time Mr. Ren did not refuse, and let Mrs. Ren accompany him back to his yard.

Old Madam Ren is also very tired now, the crowd made her brain hurt, she waved her hands at the crowd and said: "You all don't stay here, you all go out."

Everyone withdrew from the Ronghua Courtyard.

The old lady Ren knew that it was urgent to draw a line with the Zeng family, so she immediately asked people to go to the next door Dongfu to ask the second wife of the Ren family to come over.

The second wife of the Ren family was born in the Su family, and the Su family and the Zeng family are related by marriage, so it is most appropriate for the Su family to be the middleman in this matter.

The second wife, Mrs. Su, also heard the news that the Eldest Master is back, and was just about to ask someone to go to the West Mansion with the Second Master. But before Second Master Ren could find someone, Old Madam Ren's maid came to invite her.

Mrs. Su tidied up a bit and went over by herself.

The old lady Ren lay on the kang and explained why she invited Mrs. Su to come here. After hearing this, Mrs. Su frowned and asked, "Auntie, are these all the news from the yamen?"

Su's question was about the Ren family being implicated because of the Zeng family. Although the old lady Ren didn't say it clearly, she seemed to mean that in her words.

The reason why Mrs. Ren revealed this was because although Mrs. Su was born in the Su family, the Zeng family was only an in-law of the Su family, while Mrs. Su was the real daughter-in-law of the Ren family.

The old lady Ren sighed: "If it is not really necessary, we don't want to go back on our word, but look at your uncle is still suffering in prison..." The old lady Ren choked up.

Mrs. Su softly comforted Mrs. Ren, knowing that this matter was the intention of Mrs. Ren who was still in prison, so Mrs. Su didn't say any more. She knew very well who was in charge of the Ren family. Mrs. Ren Saying that they want to reject the Zeng family's marriage, it means that there is no room for reversal.

So when Su Shi left from Mrs. Ren's place, she promised that Mrs. Ren would go back to the Su family as soon as possible, and asked the Su family to come forward to reject the Zeng family's marriage proposal. With the Su family as the middleman, both sides would look better.
