Before old lady Ren came in, Ren Yaoqi called Mammy Zhou aside and explained a few words.
When the old lady Ren was sent to the main courtyard by Mrs. Li, Ren Shimin and Mrs. Li were already waiting there with Ren Yaoqi.
When the old lady Ren's eyes stayed on Li Shi's body, her expression was a little complicated.
When Mrs. Li went to greet Mrs. Ren, Mrs. Ren had a smile on her face, and was about to help Mrs. Li to stand up and say a few soft words, but Mrs. Zhou, who was on the side, stepped forward and supported Li. Shi, reminded in a low voice in a voice that everyone present could hear: "Master, this is not in line with the ceremony!"
Mrs. Li was a kind person and did not respond. Zhou Ma explained: "You are the county lord who was proclaimed by the previous emperor. According to our Da Zhou etiquette, except for a few nobles in the palace, you only need to salute the prince and princess. Although the old lady of the Ren family should be respected by the elders, the rules of the ancestors cannot be broken, and the face of the royal family is not allowed to be damaged by anyone."
Old Madam Ren's face froze when she heard the words, and she couldn't squeeze out a smile anymore, looking at Mammy Zhou's smirk, she said to Mrs. Li: "So, I want to salute the county master. already?"
Li Shi immediately glanced at Ren Shimin, Ren Shimin stood beside Li Shi with frowning slightly like before, and was not dissatisfied with Zhou Ma's words, Li Shi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Don't be rude."
Li scolded Mother Zhou lightly, and then said to the old lady Ren, "Old lady, please take your seat." But she didn't insist on salute to the old lady Ren. Mammy Zhou was so scolded by Mrs. Li, so she bowed her head and stood behind Mrs. Li respectfully and did not speak.
The old lady Ren knew that she couldn't help but fall out with the Li family at this time. He took a deep breath to calm the fire in his heart, went down the steps given by Mrs. Li, and sat on the upper seat. But she was even more dissatisfied with Ren Shimin, who stood aside and let her be insulted by a slave.
After the old lady Ren took the seat, she slowly regained the momentum she had when she was in the Ren family mansion in Baihe Town. According to the previous methods, she wanted to deliberately hang Ren Shimin and the Li family for a while, and kill the county master of the Li family. prestige.
Mammy Zhou didn't give Mrs. Ren a chance. She helped Mrs. Li to sit down, and deliberately ordered the maid to change Mrs. Li's back. Change the tea to what Li likes to drink, and deliberately blame Xi'er for the hot water in front of everyone, and take a room of maids busy around Li's person to turn the county master. The pomp is full of ten.
With the old lady sitting on it, how can she still hold her prestige? His face became more and more bad-looking.
Until Ren Shimin glanced at Mammy Zhou, Mama Zhou immediately stopped in moderation, Ren Shimin's face was still very generous to Mama Zhou.
"What's the matter with the old lady coming over today?" Everyone stopped, Ren Shimin, as the head of the family, opened his mouth consciously.
The old lady Ren said confidently: "What? I can't even come to see my son and daughter-in-law?"
Ren Shimin paused. Still coldly said: "I have been expelled from the Ren family, and I am no longer the Ren family."
Seeing Ren Shimin like this, Mrs. Ren's tone finally softened. He sighed and said, "Mother knows that you are still angry. But at that time, the family had to make a choice. Now..."
Ren Shimin frowned and interrupted: "Since the choice has been made, so be it, I have said it before. After leaving the Ren's house, I will not go back."
Mrs. Ren's eyes suddenly turned red: "Thirdest, mother personally came to invite you home. Do you want to drive your mother back? You were born in October of my pregnancy!"
Ren Shimin pursed his lips: "I never thought of abandoning my family when my family was in the most difficult time, but my family abandoned me when my future was uncertain. But I've figured it out now, so I don't blame anyone. .But it's hard to get over the water, I will never go back again, the old lady doesn't need to say more."
The old lady Ren knew of Ren Shimin's stubborn temper. People who are not familiar with Ren Shimin think that he is good-tempered and easy to talk. But in fact, Ren Shimin is the most difficult to serve among the brothers in the Ren family. The old lady Ren doesn't like the son who was born in the middle. She likes the eldest son and the youngest son more.
So Mrs. Ren looked at Li again: "You are a good boy, help mother to persuade Shimin, he is stubborn again. You should know how difficult it will be for a person to walk in the future without a family. "
Ren Shimin said impatiently: "Since even her wife knows that without a family, the road will be very difficult to walk, why did you not understand at the beginning and insisted on forcing me to a dead end? Since I have already If the family abandoned the son, then there is no reason to pick it up!"
The old lady Ren's face turned pale, and she could only look at the soft-hearted and good-natured Li Shi with a pleading expression on her face.
However, Mrs. Li lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I, I listen to my husband."
The old lady Ren was so angry that she almost threw the tea bowl, and finally she could only shake her hands and put the tea bowl on the table, squeezed out another smile, and beckoned to Ren Yaoqi: "Good boy, come here."
Ren Yaoqi looked at Ren Shimin and Mrs. Li, lowered his head and stood in front of Mrs. Ren.
The old lady Ren looked better, took Ren Yaoqi's hand and said lovingly: "Qi'er hasn't been back for a long time, how about going back with grandma this time? Grandma left you a lot of good things to press the bottom of the box, just I'll give you a dowry when you get married."
Ren Yaoqi's hand was held by the old lady Ren: "Thank you for the kindness of the old lady, but my mother said that I still have a lot of rules to learn, and I can't leave. I ask the old lady to forgive me."
The old lady Ren hit a soft nail.
Next, no matter how hard the old lady Ren tried to persuade her, the coaxing and coaxing were used, but neither Li Shi nor Ren Yaoqi would answer her. No one dared to disobey Ren Shimin according to his father's order. But the old lady Ren had nothing to do with Ren Shimin.
In the end, after tossing for a long time, the old lady Ren returned without success and returned to Baihe Town first.
But this matter is not over.
The affairs of the Ren family were originally just the family affairs of the Ren family. Because it was not very glorious, no one had publicized it with great fanfare. But on the second day after the old lady Ren left Yunyang City, rumors spread outside, saying that the county master of Jiayi started to show her mother-in-law's face with her mother's power now, and even her mother-in-law came to the door to ask for peace and she was sent as a slave. He was kicked out, and Ren Shimin, the county horse, had a wife and forgot his mother. Now he began to obey the county master, and followed his wife to show his own mother's face.
Mother Zhou was furious when she heard the rumor.
"Fifth Miss, is the Ren family doing some tricks and trying to force the master to go back?"
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while, then frowned slightly and shook his head: "They should know that with their father's temper, such rumors can't force his father to bow his head. I'm afraid that someone is using the Ren family to make trouble in the dark."
Zhou Ma was shocked when she heard the words: "Who is it? What is the purpose of doing this?"
Ren Yaoqi didn't answer, he just said, "Wulu who is behind the trouble, there will always be a time to stand up. Just wait and see."
"But do they just spread those rumors outside? This is not good for the reputation of the master and his wife, and I am afraid that it will have a bad impact on the fifth lady." No matter when, disrespectful and unfilial elders will be criticized by people. Yes, even the emperor must pay attention to a word of filial piety. Outside, you can only see Ren Shimin denying his mother, who would care if Ren Shimin was kicked out of the Ren family
Ren Yaoqi shook his head: "Wait."
The result of waiting again is that there are finally some things that start to question Xiao Jingxi's marriage to Ren Yaoqi. Some people think that parents like Ren Shimin and Princess Jiayi who don't understand filial piety will definitely not be able to teach good daughters.
Ren Yaoqi finally understood why the enemy was so aggressive without even saying hello, it turned out to be for her and Xiao Jingxi's marriage.
It's just that Ren Yaoqi didn't have time to react to this matter, and someone took the first step.
The Ren family first became aware of the fact that Mr. Ren San was removed from the clan. Gradually, except for a few people who were particularly pedantic or who deliberately found fault, the criticism of Mr. Ren San was much less.
It was just that no one thought that the pedantic thinking would soon be revealed that he was a prostitute during his mother's filial piety, and was suspended from his original position by the Yanbei Palace. It turns out that people who are polite and honest on the surface actually have such a character, and the world can't help but feel a little embarrassed.
There are also smart people who have noticed that this person must have made Yanbei Palace unhappy when he fell from the commanding heights of morality into the mud so quickly. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence
So without waiting for the Yanbei Palace to speak, more people took the initiative to stand up to defend Ren Shimin and Princess Jiayi. These voices were much stronger than the few critical voices, and soon suppressed the discordant voices.
As a result, the Jiayi County Master and his wife, who were unfaithful and unfilial, became victims of being abandoned by the family.
For this kind of provocation, a high-ranking person like Xiao Jingxi doesn't have to solve it by himself. As long as he gives a little hint and points out the trend, some people will rush to solve his problems. Therefore, in many cases, justice and injustice rely on strength to speak.
At this time, Yun Wenfang, who had left Yunyang City for a while and disappeared without a trace, suddenly rushed back in a hurry.
