Since Ren Zihua couldn't figure it out, he might as well put it aside. He turned around and returned to the main courtyard.
Shen Xuan was sitting by the window reading a book. Seeing him come in, she stood up, undressed him and changed into regular clothes. "As the old master gets weaker, you'll have to take care of your body."
The smile on his face was even warm and proper. It looked very beautiful, but it was also very pleasing to the eyes.
He had looked at such a smile for eighteen years, and it was not out of boredom, but rather, a slight chill to his heart.
Ren Zihua held his wife's hand gently. He loved the soft hands, and he had held the soft hands, one for writing and painting, the other for picking flowers and rubbing his nails.
She raised her head to look at him. His eyes were soft and her cheeks were slightly red.: "Master, it's still daytime." He shook his hands off and gently declined, his eyebrows creased playfully.
She had misunderstood his meaning.
Ren Zihua secretly sighed, he pulled his wife to sit down and slowly said: "The servants who are working outside have heard a piece of news, I'm afraid that Xuan`er will have to worry about your husband."
Shen Xuan smiled slightly, she raised her hand and smoothed the wrinkles on her husband's shirt, and said gently: "We are husband and wife, master's matter is Xuan'er's matter. May I know what matter you have to teach the old master to be in such a difficult position? " He sneered in his heart: [Is he going to pick up some bastard from the other room and enter the door, or has he taken a fancy to some famous card?]
Ren Zihua stared fixedly at her, his face filled with tender emotions, his gaze cold. He did not miss the flash of derision in her eyes.
He calmed himself down and said, "I don't know which year it was, nor do I know how that woman hid her identity and hid herself away. She actually helped me get in."
Shen Xuan let out a light breath, the light in her eyes dimmed, and she meekly lowered her head, as if she had just suffered a little grievance. But in reality, her heart was filled with contempt. Adding incense to the Ren Family was always a great merit. I wonder what old master wants me to do? "
Ren Zihua's heart throbbed in pain, as though an arrow had pierced through, full of holes.
How could he not see the indifference she concealed beneath her meekness?
She never cared about him. Not once.
Ren Zihua closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again. With a firm gaze and a stiff tone, he said, "That woman is no longer here. She only has one son, whose name is An, and is about ten years old. If I am able to recognize him, I will definitely be very happy. "
At this time, Shen Xuan had not realised it was that Ren Ang. She only hesitated for a moment before speaking hesitantly, "May I ask which aunt Master wishes to take that child as?" This was directly refusing to acknowledge him as his son. She didn't want any of them anyway. It would be fair to all to treat the children of Shu equally.
"Ren Zihua, however, was not angry. It doesn't matter under which name, it's all the same. The child is already engaged because the woman is a bit older. She's probably planning to get married this year. "
Shen Xuan pondered on his husband's meaning, and carefully spoke: "May I ask which family this lady is from? Is she worthy of Brother Ang? " She thought that her husband said these words because he was not satisfied with the girl. He intended to take her son as his only son and not have her as his fiancée. Presumably, the female Fang family's background was not good? If they forced the child back and refused the marriage, it would not be a small blow to the girl. If he made a mistake, the woman would not be able to kill herself while being humiliated, and her Ren Family would also be spurted to death by the censor's saliva?
No wonder her husband was so worried. He was actually a hot potato!
Seeing that his wife was in a difficult situation, Ren Zihua felt slightly relieved. He said magnanimously, "It's alright, I think that girl is suitable for my Ren Family."
Shen Xuan's face was full of suspicion, "Husband, you mean …"
Ren Ziling chuckled, "No way, send a capable steward there. We must bring the couple back." If they insist on having a wedding over there, they will prepare a decent betrothal gift and they can also prepare the bride's dowry. After that, they will arrange the wedding to be extremely lively and not lose any face for Ren Family. "
Shen Xuan nodded lightly, "My husband has thought it through carefully. But if Brother Ang is more willing to return to the capital … " Pausing for a moment, he suddenly asked, "Does Brother Ang know his past?"
Seeing that his wife was staring at him with widened eyes, and that he was the only one in her clear and black eyes, Assistant Minister Ren suddenly felt extremely happy. Just like this, he would only look at himself for the rest of his life …
He softened his tone, "Of course I know. He is using the name of the son of Ren Family, if that is not the case, how would I know. The news had spread like wildfire outside! Presumably, that child also has his own heart and soul in wanting to return to his clan. "
Shen Xuan suddenly felt that this section of the bridge was a little familiar. Single Name One An... Ren Ang...
Ren Ang?!
How could it be him? The most important thing was that her husband actually knew about it!
Shen Xuan's heart was instantly thrown into chaos! She pretended to be deep in thought and spoke after a long while, "Since I knew about my background, I guess that child has her own plans too. I wonder what kind of family that young lady is from, is she compatible with others? " Suddenly, she thought of a way to break them apart!
Ren Zihua had always been secretly watching his wife's expression and did not miss the other party's momentary panic. However, in the end, it was calm again, and even added a bit of scheming, which made him unable to see through it.
He had been immersed in the imperial court for more than ten years, and his ability to read words and observe expressions was naturally extraordinary. It was not that he did not understand his wife's daily actions, but rather he respected her choice. It wasn't a secret even that his wife was going to be a matchmaker for her nephew.
He just couldn't guess which girl his wife was referring to. Until a few days ago, the words of the servants of the National Duke Lee family had a hint of dissatisfaction. At that time, he still hadn't figured out the inner workings of the matter. However, after combining it with today's events, he finally came to a realization!
His good internal help was in order to seek the protection of that girl's parents! In other words, she wanted to break up the relationship between Ren Ang and the girl?
Ren Zihua's lips curled up into a smile. If that was the case, he would do his best to arrange the marriage of his cheap son. What would happen to his wife then?
Thinking about the girl's face that looked similar to his wife, Assistant Minister Ren suddenly looked forward to seeing the child soon. As for his cheap son, hehe, since he was acting so boldly, he didn't mind for a moment. He wanted to see what kind of scumbag would dare to work under his reputation!
"Husband?" Seeing that her husband did not reply, Shen Xuan called out softly.
Ren Zihua shook his head lightly, and continued with the topic of his wife: "I heard that the elders of the Fang Family are all gone, and their families are poor, without any permanent properties."
Shen Xuan raised her brows, and said: "My Ren Family does not value these things. I wonder how lady's character is like? "
"Simple and delicate, sincere and sincere."
"Since my husband said so, that girl must be extremely good." Shen Xuan was very happy that her daughter received such praise.
"So, your husband intends to bring back that pair of young children and have a grand wedding in the capital. After all, this is my son's first marriage. "
