The night was long, and Miss Ren's husband had yet to awaken.
While talking with her, Shen Ningning learned the whole story.
This Miss Ren was indeed Ren Pengyi's eldest daughter, born to his first wife. Her name was Ren Liuyue.
Unfortunately, while she was still in her mother's womb, Ren Pengyi had brought home his pregnant mistress.
Not long after giving birth, his first wife died of depression, driven to it by Ren Pengyi's blatant favoritism toward his mistress.
She left behind her daughter, Ren Liuyue, who was not even a year old.
Less than half a year after his first wife's death, Ren Pengyi eagerly made his mistress his official wife, taking her as his second.
When Ren Liuyue's maternal grandparents found out, they feared their daughter's only child would be mistreated, so they took her away under the pretext of helping her recuperate.
Now, Ren Liuyue was over sixteen. For more than a decade, her father, Governor Ren, had never once shown her any concern.
