"Yes, father." His words were still indifferent, without a trace of emotion.

Ren Jingzhi, the eldest son, has always been the pride of Ren Wenbo. He knew very well that the prince sent a woman to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ruin his son's reputation, but he had no way to stop it.

When he learned that the eldest daughter of the Shen family did not die the night she entered the mansion, he was happy. He hoped that his son could leave behind a child. Even though he heard that the girl was ugly, he did not care much.

When the two of them came closer, Father Ren continued, "This must be Miss Shen, I hope you will take care of her from now on."

Shen Yiran replied respectfully: "Father, what are you talking about? It is my duty to take care of my husband." After saying this, she looked at Ren Jingzhi affectionately.

He lowered his head and saw the woman's dark eyes flickering, with a look of genuine affection. If it had not been for the prior negotiation, he would have believed it. What an acting queen.

"That's good, that's good!" A rare kindness appeared on Ren's father's serious face.

"Yiran, come here." Aunt Su had the demeanor of a mistress of the house. Her words and actions were dignified and proper. She was in her forties, but looked only in her thirties.

This Aunt Su is really good at pretending. On the one hand, she hopes that Ren Jingzhi will die soon, and on the other hand, she pretends to be a loving mother in front of Prime Minister Ren. It's just acting. Who isn't an acting queen?

She walked over obediently and called out affectionately, "Auntie!" and emphasized the two words on purpose.

Sure enough, Aunt Su's expression changed slightly, but only for a moment, she regained her original enthusiasm, took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on Shen Yiran's hand.

"Yiran, this is a family heirloom from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Take it. Zhier is not in good health. You should have a child soon so that you can have someone to rely on in the future."

"Don't say such unlucky words on such a happy day." Ren's father scolded angrily.

"Yes, sir, it's my fault." Aunt Su looked so aggrieved that she was very lovable.

In fact, I cursed in my heart, humph, you are a dying man, let’s see how long you can jump around!

"Dad, Mom is right. Big brother didn't have much time left anyway, and Mom was just thinking about this ugly woman!" The speaker was Aunt Su's youngest daughter, Ren Jingxuan.

Ren Jingxuan is fifteen years old and will not reach marriage age until next year. She has skin as white as snow, jade-like cheeks and cherry lips. She is also a beauty. Although she is born out of wedlock, she lives the life of a legitimate lady. She has been pampered by Aunt Su since she was a child and always calls herself the eldest lady to others.

"Mom, shouldn't this heirloom be given to my future wife? My eldest brother is about to die, why do you want to give this heirloom to this ugly woman?"

The person who said this was Su Yiang's eldest son Ren Jingheng, a man who acted without thinking and was only waiting for Ren Jingzhi to die so that he could succeed to the throne.

"How dare you! What an ugly woman! She is your sister-in-law. Where is your tutor? Aunt Su, how do you educate your children?"

Ren Wenbo was so angry that he punched the tea table, causing the teacup to fall to the ground and tea spilling all over the floor.

"Father, don't be angry. It's not worth it to get sick because of us. Your husband won't have much time left. It's normal for your daughter-in-law to be ugly and unpopular. Don't blame Aunt Su and my sister-in-law."

After Shen Yiran finished speaking, she pretended to cover her face and sobbed, her shoulders shaking, making her look even more pitiful than Aunt Su.

In fact, she was laughing secretly. Ha, how could she miss such a good opportunity to add fuel to the fire? Whether her future life in the Prime Minister's Mansion would be easy or not depended on today. She had to seize it.

How could Ren Jingzhi not know the little woman's intentions? He held her soft and boneless hand and said, "Ran'er, it's your husband's incompetence that has wronged you..."

Shen Yiran was amazed. Her husband was a promising man who got the hang of things so quickly. She gave him a big thumbs up in her heart.

In Ren's father's eyes, they were just poor children without a father or mother. He got angry on the spot, "As long as I am here, Zhi'er will always be the crown prince, and Yiran will be the crown prince's consort. Pass the order down, if anyone does not follow the rules, they will be punished by the family law."

"How awesome!" Shen Yiran resisted the urge to applaud.

At this time, they both said in unison: "Thank you, father!"

Father Ren was also feeling mixed emotions at this moment. He was wondering if Zhi'er's mother, if she knew about this, would blame him for not taking good care of her son.

"Second brother, little sister, why don't you apologize to eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law?" The speaker was Aunt Su's second son, Ren Jingyu. He was usually not competitive and gentle as jade, and was deeply loved by his father Ren.

"Yes, apologize quickly!" Aunt Su also urged anxiously.

It was clearly a good hand, but it was ruined like this, she was unwilling to accept it!

"Brother, sister-in-law, we're sorry, it's our fault." The brother and sister apologized very reluctantly.

"You can look down on me, but you shouldn't say that about your sister-in-law. She is also a pitiful person." Ren Jingzhi said bluntly.

"Yes, we won't do that again in the future." They squeezed out these words from between their teeth.

"Okay, from now on you should learn more from Jing Yu and stop causing trouble for me all day long."

Aunt Su breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the master was not disappointed in all of them.

"Aunt Su, Yi Ran is going to return home today, please prepare some gifts for her return, don't be too shabby."

"Yes, sir."

Then, Father Ren put away his previous harshness and said to the young couple lovingly: "If you have any problems in the future, just tell your father directly, don't wrong yourself."

He tried his best as a father to make sure his son lived a decent life for the rest of his life.

"Yes, father, thank you!" Shen Yiran thanked him.

"Zhi'er, your father has some official business to attend to. You will accompany Yiran back home later."

"Yes, father." Ren Jingzhi agreed.

After making all the arrangements, Ren's father walked towards the gate. Shen Yiran looked at his back which was no longer straight and tall and sighed, "It is said that you should marry a virtuous woman, otherwise she will ruin your three generations without any discussion."

Although Aunt Su and the others were very unhappy after being scolded by Ren's father, they did not lose their temper.

But she was very angry about today's situation. After adjusting her mood, she ordered: "Liu'er, ask Butler Liu to prepare the return gift for the Crown Prince's Consort."

"Yes, aunt." Liu'er is a smart and sensible girl. She has followed aunt Su for many years and pleases her very much.

Shen Yiran felt that the play could end here. "Thank you, Aunt Su. Let's go back to the yard to pack up." After saying that, she turned around and pushed Ren Jingzhi towards the door.

Looking at their departing backs, Ren Jingxuan grabbed Aunt Su's hand and said, "Mother, are you going to let that ugly freak and short-lived ghost bully us?"

"Xuan'er, you have to keep calm. You all have made your father unhappy today. Don't be reckless next time. Wait until that short-lived ghost dies, and then we will drive that ugly monster out." A hint of viciousness flashed across her face.

As soon as they left the main hall, the couple started talking.

"you......"

"you......"

Ren Jingzhi: "You speak first."

Shen Yiran: I really can’t tell that you are also an expert!

"Compared to you, there is still a certain gap."

This guy, is he praising her or insulting her? Why does she feel a little upset?

Just as they were insulting each other, Butler Liu came towards them with a few servants, each holding a box in their hands.

"Prince, Princess, your return gifts are ready. I'll have them put on the carriage right away."

"Then I'll have to trouble Butler Liu." Shen Yiran was eager to know what these return gifts were.

"You are too polite, Princess. This is what this old servant should do."

Judging from the respectful look on Butler Liu's face, Prime Minister Ren's words this morning must have spread quickly throughout the mansion. Shen Yiran was quite satisfied with this efficiency.

She pushed Ren Jingzhi to the carriage and asked again to confirm: "Are you sure you want to accompany me back home?"

"Of course, it's fun to act with you. I haven't acted enough just now!"

Shen Yiran:......
