Early the next morning, Master Ren went to Yunyang City again, this time he went alone.

Although the guards of the Yanbei Royal Mansion forbade people from entering and leaving the house, they turned a blind eye to the people inside and the visitors talking through the door, which was originally unreasonable, but no one realized it.

When the porter came in to report that the eldest master of the Ren family was here again, Ren Yaoqi was accompanying the third master Ren to paint in the study, and painting has always been a good medicine for Ren Shimin to relieve his worries.

"Nope." The third master Ren was very unhappy to be interrupted, and he didn't return to the tunnel with a cold face.

Ren Yaochi thought for a while and asked the porter, "Master Ren came by himself?" But what do you say about looking for your father? ”

"The eldest lord only brought an entourage today, and he only said that there is something important to discuss with our lord, and he wants the lord to go and see him." The porter didn't dare to enter the study without permission, so he could only reply carefully through the door, and everyone in the Ren family knew that the third master of Ren was not angry, and his temper was bigger than anyone else.

Ren Shimin frowned when he heard this, and was about to get angry, but was stopped by Ren Yaoqi.

"Daddy, you better go and see your eldest uncle, you have a good relationship with your eldest uncle on weekdays, and besides, the decision to expel you from the clan is not something he can do, maybe he really has something important to do with you in private this time?"

Ren Shimin thought about it and sighed, and put down the pen in his hand: "Then let's go and meet." ”

Ren Shimin cleaned his hands and went out, Ren Yaoqi cleaned up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the bookcase and went out of the study, only to go out and see Mama Zhou standing outside the study with a worried face.

"Miss, is the master here again?" Mama Zhou asked as soon as she saw Ren Yaoqi.

Ren Yaochi nodded: "Father just went out to see the eldest uncle." ”

Mama Zhou looked around, and saw that there was no one else, so she leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Miss, the eldest master is coming to the master again this time, could it be that the Ren family has changed his mind again?" "Mama Zhou hopes to get rid of the Ren family more than anyone else, as long as there is no old lady Ren pointing fingers, the backyard of the third master Ren is the Li family alone. If she hadn't dared to think so before. But now that the third master has an official position, he can already stand on his own, so naturally the farther away from those people is better, so as not to pull back later.

Regarding Mama Zhou's worries, Ren Yaoqi just smiled and said firmly: "No." "The second elder of the Ren family has always only sought advantages and avoided disadvantages, where would it be so easy to change his mind?

"What is the reason for the big man?" Mama Zhou frowned.

Ren Yaochi said with a smile: "Who did Mama just send to follow?" Xi'er or Magpie? ”

Mama Zhou was a little embarrassed: "It's a second-class maid in the yard, I asked her to watch, and if anything happens, I'll come back in time to report." ”

Ren Yaochi didn't care: "Then I'll know later." ”

What I didn't expect was that Ren Shimin came back in less than a stick of incense, and he was still full of anger, and saw Mama Zhou standing in the courtyard. Ren Shimin said to her: "Tell me to go down, if the Ren family in Baihe Town comes again in the future, no matter who comes, they will beat me with a stick!" After saying this, he went straight to the study, and did not come out until the evening of that day.

Mama Zhou was stunned, and then immediately bowed her head and replied respectfully "yes".

When Ren Shimin entered the study, Mama Zhou called the little maid who had been sent to inquire about the news to Ren Yaoqi and asked.

The little maid said: "The eldest master didn't speak loudly, and the slave didn't hear clearly. Later, the old man suddenly lost his temper. said to the eldest master, 'I'm incompetent and shameless enough to divorce my wife to avoid disaster, a dignified seven-foot man, when something happens, I want to push the women and children out of the gang to prevent disasters, it's simply unreasonable!' Later. I won't bother you with my housework! It's good to go, don't send it! Then the master returned. ”

After hearing this, Mama Zhou gritted her teeth with hatred, told the maid not to spread the word and sent her away, and then said to Ren Yaoqi: "It turns out that the eldest master is here to ask our master to divorce his wife, but fortunately, the master did not listen to them." Mama Zhou really realized the benefits of Ren Shimin at this time.

The third master may not be good in everything, but the character is the same that makes people unable to find faults.

After this day. Master Ren came again, but Ren Shimin didn't go out to see him, and then Ren Shizhong didn't come again. The Ren family did not send anyone else to persuade him. Seeing that Ren Shimin and they had been locked up for six or seven days, Yanbei Wangfu had no intention of letting people out, and the attitude of Yanbei Wangfu has been secretive, and there are rumors outside that Yanbei Wangfu will wait until after the old princess's birthday banquet The court will send someone to deal with the matter of offering the palace. Because of the death of the prince, the old princess's birthday banquet could no longer be held, but according to the custom, the court still had to send someone over to give some rewards.

Seeing that the old princess's birthday banquet was getting closer and closer day by day, the Ren family finally gritted their teeth and opened the ancestral hall, officially expelling Ren Shimin from the Ren family.

Master Ren Wu and Ren Shijia came to inquire about the news and sent them things, and Ren Yijun also brought a letter to Ren Shimin. They couldn't help much, but their hearts were there.

During this period, something happened in the Lei family. The Lei family suddenly had a ghost.

When a night patrol woman passed by the Lei family's ancestral hall at night, she saw a woman in white sitting on the wall of the ancestral hall, smiling at her with a white face, and the woman was frightened and fainted on the spot. Later, on two more occasions, the "female ghost" was seen on the swing in the garden and not far from the study.

The Lei family was panicked, and no one dared to come out after nightfall, and the people who had to be on duty at night would also pull in three companions to strengthen their courage.

Later, there were rumors that the late Qiao Shi came back, because the two places where she appeared later were where Lei Paner played and read and read on weekdays, saying that Qiao Shi was not worried about handing over her daughter to the bride, and came out to stare at Ren Yaohua.

If other women heard this rumor, which had been rumored to have noses and eyes, and witnesses, they would tremble and be suspicious, even if they were not frightened into bedridden. But Ren Yaohua only had anger in her heart after hearing it.

Ren Yaohua doesn't believe in gods and ghosts, she only believes that someone is pretending to be a ghost. What's more, she hasn't done anything wrong, even if there are ghosts, she is not afraid. Whatever the purpose of that person's doing such a thing, it would be despicable and shameless to make a fuss about the deceased.

Thunder wanted to come forward to investigate this matter, but was stopped by Ren Yaohua. The matter of the inner courtyard should be resolved in the inner courtyard, not to mention that Lei Ting is very busy every day, Ren Yaohua can't rely on him for everything, not to mention that Ren Yaohua knows that the person who is targeting this matter is her. Lei Ting ordered the housekeeper Liu Gui to follow Yaohua's orders.

On the second day, Ren Yaohua called all the people of the Lei family to the council room, and strictly forbade them to mention this matter again. This is the first time that Ren Yaohua has treated the servants of the Lei family with such a harsh attitude since marrying into the Lei family.

After controlling all the people in the house, Ren Yaohua rarely went out by herself, especially after nightfall, she no longer took a step out of her courtyard. Originally, when Lei Paner went to the study to practice calligraphy or went to the garden to play on the swing, she would follow, but now she asked Lei Paner to change the location of the practice to the small study in the main room, and Lei Paner was not allowed to play in the garden.

Lei Pan'er was very well-behaved and didn't complain about anything, but when the people outside saw it, they thought that Ren Yaohua was weak and scared. And Ren Yaohua fell ill within a few days, and she stayed at home.

In this way, a few days later, the "female ghost" who had not appeared for several days appeared again in the corridor not far from the main house where Ren Yaohua was.

Only this time, this "female ghost" was caught by several nurseries that had been ambushed in the shadows for a long time.

The steward of the outer courtyard carried a lantern to shine a light on the motionless female ghost, only to find that it was just a paper figure. The paper figure was hooded and dressed, and only its mouth was bright red with cinnabar. It's a bit scary to look at it from a distance on the big night.

Liu Gui took this paper man to Lei Ting and Ren Yaohua to return to him.

"Didn't find any suspicious people nearby?" Thunder glanced at the paper figure on the ground a few times and asked lightly.

"The man tied the paper figure to the pillar of the cloister, hid himself, and when the little one looked for it, the man found that the matter was revealed and fled."

Ren Yaohua's gaze stayed on the paper man, she got up and walked over to take a closer look at the clothes on the paper man.

Seeing that Ren Yaohua seemed to be about to get the clothes off the paper man, Liu Gui hurriedly stopped: "Madam, don't touch it, bad luck." ”

Although Ren Yaohua was not afraid, she did not touch it with her hands again.

"What did you find?" Lei Ting also got up and walked over and stood beside Ren Yaohua.

Ren Yaohua paused and said, "This material...... It's a cloud brocade cloth. ”

Lei Ting glanced at Liu Gui, Liu Gui took a piece of sleeve and twisted it carefully, nodded and said, "It is indeed Yunjin cloth." ”

Although Yunjin cloth does not look much different from the ordinary muslin on the market, it is dozens of times higher in price, and is generally used by rich people to make underwear, comfortable and sweat-absorbing, which is very suitable for the "low-key and luxurious" psychology of famous families.

"Yunjin cloth is precious, so it will definitely not be the stuff of the people in the house. And the small one remembers that several masters in our house don't like to use this kind of cloth to make clothes, so the small one did not let the procurement and purchase. Speaking ......of this, Liu Gui glanced at Ren Yaohua, and seeing that Ren Yaohua didn't react, he said again, "But after the wife came, the little one asked the procurement office to find a few horses back." ”

In the past, when the Lei family did not have a hostess, Liu Gui needed to take care of external affairs and internal affairs.

Ren Yaohua nodded: "I don't like to use this either, I only gave two horses to people, and two more horses didn't move in the warehouse." (To be continued......)
