兄仁穎,梁朝仕至諸衛將軍,中年以風恙廢於家凡十餘年,仁願事之,出告反面,如嚴父焉,士大夫推為孝友。 His elder brother Renying had served under Liang to the rank of general of the guard regiments, but in midlife he was disabled at home by wind ailment for more than ten years. Renyuan attended him, asking permission before going out and paying his respects upon returning, as to a strict father, and scholar-officials praised his filial brotherly devotion.
仁願開運元年再為大理卿,時隰州刺史王澈犯贓,朝廷以澈功臣之後,欲宥之,仁願累執奏不移,竟遣伏法,議者賞之。 In the first year of Kaiyun Renyuan again served as Director of Judicial Review. At the time Wang Che, prefect of Xi, was guilty of embezzlement, and the court, considering him a descendant of a meritorious minister, wished to pardon him. Renyuan repeatedly submitted memorials without yielding, and Che was finally executed; commentators praised him.
