All the people in the Hou Mansion are evil, and they will be repaid tenfold after rebirth

Ruyi sighed softly, her eyes full of understanding and sympathy, but also a hint of blame. She replied softly: "Madam, I understand your thoughts, but this medicine...if it was replaced with ordinary medicine, how could Miss Li Li's scar heal so slowly?"

Ye Wanxue lowered her head, her fingers twisting the corners of her clothes unconsciously. After a moment of silence, she slowly spoke: "I was indeed negligent. I didn't expect Jiang Lili to be so serious, otherwise I would have taken out the money anyway."

Ruyi gently patted Ye Wanxue's hand and comforted her: "Madam, please don't blame yourself. The most important thing now is to find a way to make up for this mistake. If the eldest lady's scar cannot be healed, her future will be ..."

Ye Wanxue raised her head, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "Ruyi, you are right. I can't let Li Li's future be affected by me. I will go and discuss with Ji Lian to see if we can find a way to get better medicine."

"Ruyi, come with me, let's go find Ji Lian together."

Ruyi nodded, followed Ye Wanxue out of the room, walked through the winding corridor, and came to the main hall of Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion. Jiang Jilian was discussing matters with several staff members. When he saw Ye Wanxue and Ruyi coming in, he was slightly startled, and then showed a concerned expression.

"Ma'am, what's wrong?"

Ye Wanxue took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound calm: "Ji Lian, I want to talk to you alone about something."

Jiang Jilian gestured to his staff to leave, then turned to Ye Wanxue and said, "Madam, please speak."

Ye Wanxue looked directly at Jiang Jilian and said firmly, "Regarding Li Li's medicine, I know that the money should have been used to buy medicine, but I neglected it. I didn't expect that the medicine was so important to her. I am willing to sell all my jewelry, just asking you to help me get better medicine."

Jiang Jilian's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect Ye Wanxue to do this for Jiang Lili. He was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Madam, you misunderstood. I was going to use that money to buy jewelry for you. I will naturally find another way to get Lili's medicine."

A hint of surprise flashed across Ye Wanxue's eyes, which then turned into gratitude: "Ji Lian, are you...are you really willing to do this for Li Li?"

Jiang Jilian nodded, his eyes firm: "Li Li is my daughter, I will not let her get hurt. Moreover, I am also responsible. I did not tell you the purpose of the money in advance, which led to your misunderstanding."

......

Sun Qipeng repeated what Jiang Lili said in the front yard, and Jiang Jilian's face became particularly ugly.

Sun Qipeng stood aside, looking nervous, carefully observing the Marquis's reaction.

"My Lord, Miss Lili said..."

"Shut up!" Jiang Jilian slammed the table and stood up, staring at Sun Qipeng fiercely, saying in a cold tone, "How could I not know what she said!"

Sun Qipeng was so frightened that he lowered his head and dared not say anything. Jiang Jilian's eyes flashed with a haze, and he turned to the window, looked at the night outside, and was silent for a moment.

"Qi Peng," Jiang Jilian suddenly spoke in a low voice, "How true do you think what she said is?"

Sun Qipeng hesitated for a moment and answered cautiously: "Qipeng dare not make any rash comments, but looking at Miss Jiang Lili's expression, it seems that what she said is true."

Jiang Jilian was silent for a moment, then turned around and looked at Sun Qipeng sharply: "What about you? What do you think?"

Sun Qipeng's heart tightened. He knew he couldn't avoid this question, so he had to bite the bullet and answer: "Qipeng feels that although what Miss Jiang Lili said was a bit excessive, she may have her reasons. After all, there has been some unrest in the mansion recently."

Jiang Jilian's eyes were even colder, but his tone was calmer: "Qi Peng, you have been with me for many years, and I have always regarded you as my most trusted attendant. If you really think what she said makes sense about today's matter, then just say it."

Sun Qipeng's heart trembled. Today's matter was of great importance, but he also understood that the Marquis' trust was a testimony to his years of loyalty. If he did not dare to speak frankly at this time, it would be even more difficult to gain his trust in the future.

"Qipeng dares to say that what Miss Jiang Lili said is true." Sun Qipeng replied in a deep voice, looking at Jiang Jilian firmly, "Something is indeed wrong in the mansion. First, the eldest lady deliberately broke the young master's leg, and then there was the shadow in the garden. If these things are not investigated, I am afraid that it will affect the peace of the mansion."

Jiang Jilian nodded slightly, the coldness in his eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a trace of contemplation. He turned around, sat back at the table, and motioned Sun Qipeng to sit down.

"Qi Peng, what you said makes sense. But you also know that the affairs in the mansion are complicated. As a marquis, I cannot easily believe one-sided words." Jiang Ji Lian said slowly, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. "Have you ever seen the strange things in the garden you mentioned?"

Sun Qipeng thought for a moment and replied, "Qipeng has not seen it with his own eyes, but I heard the servants talking about it. They said that the eldest lady saw Jiang Ren's ghost in the garden, and some people also said that they saw an unknown figure."

Jiang Jilian nodded slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Jiang Ren? Unknown figure? Why didn't you tell me these things earlier?"

Sun Qipeng lowered his head, his tone somewhat regretful: "Qipeng thought these were just gossips from the servants and were not credible. Now it seems that perhaps I have ignored these clues."

Jiang Jilian was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Qi Peng, you have been with me for many years, so I naturally know that you are a cautious person. Since this matter has already happened, we must solve it together. You should take people to the garden to investigate this matter tomorrow morning."

Sun Qipeng was stunned. He didn't expect the Marquis to trust him so much. He quickly stood up and replied respectfully: "Qipeng obeys your command!"

Jiang Jilian looked at Sun Qipeng, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes: "Qipeng, do you know why I trust you so much?"

Sun Qipeng shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Jiang Jilian smiled faintly, and the gentleness in his eyes became more obvious. He gently patted Sun Qipeng on the shoulder and said slowly: "That's because you are loyal and reliable, calm and composed, and you are my most capable assistant."

Sun Qipeng felt warm in his heart when he heard this. He lowered his head, took a deep breath, and then said, "The trust of the Marquis is the greatest honor of Qipeng's life. Qipeng will do his best to find out the truth."

Jiang Jilian nodded slightly, turned and walked to the window, looking at the dark night outside the window, silent for a moment, and then said: "Jiang Ren is a scum of my clan, and his death is what he deserves. But if his ghost really makes trouble in the mansion, it will be a shame for our clan."

Sun Qipeng stood behind Jiang Jilian and couldn't help feeling nervous when listening to his words.

What the Marquis hated most was the scum in the family. Jiang Ren was once the Marquis's confidant, but he betrayed the Marquis out of greed and hopelessness, and was eventually executed by the Marquis himself.
