At this time, the shopkeeper came over and asked, "Madam, Miss, do you need any help?" Lu Yundi smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, I would like to ask, where is this cup of black tea produced?"

The shopkeeper replied respectfully: "Madam, this cup of black tea is produced in Fujian in the south of our country. The tea there is of high quality and has a mellow taste."

Jiang Zihan asked curiously, "Boss, what is the difference between Fujian tea and our tea?"

The shopkeeper smiled and explained, "Miss, due to the influence of the geographical environment and climate, the taste and aroma of Fujian tea are different from the tea here. Fujian tea has a mellow taste and a unique aroma, while the tea in northern my country has a lighter taste and a fresher aroma."

After listening to this, the two became very interested in the origin and varieties of tea.

Lu Yundi said to Jiang Zihan: "Zihan, the world of tea is so rich and colorful. You should learn more about it. Maybe you can make some achievements in this field in the future." Jiang Zihan's eyes flashed with determination: "Mother, I will."

As the sun set, the two left the tea shop and started their journey home.

……

Chu Qirui said truthfully: "Young Madam, I have received a secret order from the Emperor to look for the military token in the Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion."

Military talisman? Lu Yundi was stunned when he heard this.

Lu Yundi was stunned when she heard the words, and a trace of surprise flashed in her bright eyes. She took a step back slightly, as if Chu Qirui's words had stirred up a wave in her heart. She pursed her lips tightly and looked at Chu Qirui with complicated eyes, trying to find a trace of truth in his expression.

"You said... looking for the military token?" Her voice trembled a little, and she was obviously shocked by this matter.

Chu Qirui nodded slightly, his expression frank and firm: "Yes, Madam. I have received a secret order from the emperor to find the military token. This is related to the safety of the country, and I can't slack off."

Lu Yundi took a deep breath and tried to calm down. She looked at Chu Qirui with a hint of doubt in her eyes: "Why did you approach Sister Yuqi? Does she know the whereabouts of the military token?"

Chu Qirui smiled slightly, but with a hint of bitterness: "Madam, Miss Yuqi doesn't know. I approached her because she is the Marquis's sister. I want to enter the Marquis' Mansion through her and find an opportunity to find the military token."

Lu Yundi was silent for a moment. She looked at Chu Qirui, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

Chu Qirui was not just a name for nothing, he was a smart, resourceful and brave man. However, she could not accept that her husband and sister were involved in this dispute.

"Chu Qirui, do you know what you are doing?" Lu Yundi said in a heavy tone, "You are taking risks like this, not only endangering your own life, but also implicating innocent people."

Chu Qirui's eyes were firm. He looked at Lu Yundi and said in a serious tone, "I know what I am doing, Madam. I am willing to bear all the consequences as long as I can find the military token and ensure the safety of the country."

Lu Yundi clenched his fists tightly, the conflict in his heart becoming more and more intense.

"I know everything you said." Lu Yundi spoke slowly, with a hint of helplessness in his voice, "But, have you ever thought that such behavior might put all of us in danger?"

Chu Qirui's eyes flashed with tenderness, but he quickly restrained his emotions and said firmly: "I understand your concerns, Madam. But at this moment, national interests are above all else. I must find the military token, even if it means I have to pay the price of my life."

Lu Yundi looked at Chu Qirui, with a complex emotion welling up in his heart.

She took a deep breath and made a decision.

"Okay, Chu Qirui, now that you have decided, I will do my best to help you."

Lu Yundi said firmly, "But you have to promise me that you will be careful and not let Sister Yuqi get hurt."

Chu Qirui heard this, and a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes: "Madam, I am very grateful. I will do my best to protect Miss Yuqi and will not let her come to any harm."

Lu Yundi turned and walked to the window, looking at the lush garden outside, praying silently in his heart, hoping that everything would go well.

"So, Chu Qirui, do you have any plans?" Lu Yundi turned around and asked, with a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.

Chu Qirui nodded slightly and began to explain his plan: "First, I need to understand the layout and defense of the Marquis' Mansion. I will pretend to be closer to Miss Yuqi so that I can have a chance to go deep into the Marquis' Mansion. Then, I will look for an opportunity to sneak into the Marquis's study, where the military token is most likely to be hidden."

Lu Yundi frowned slightly and said worriedly: "The Marquis's study is heavily guarded. Are you sure you can get in smoothly?"

Chu Qirui's eyes flashed with confidence: "I am confident. Moreover, I will use the night and the Marquis's secret guard system to try to avoid the patrolling guards."

At this point in the conversation, both of them fell into deep thought.

Just then, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, followed by Jiang Yuqi's voice: "Sister, are you talking to Chu Qirui?"

"Young Marquis, my husband has a mistress outside, did you know?"

Lu Yundi looked directly at Chu Qirui and asked somewhat suddenly.

Chu Qirui's eyes changed slightly. He didn't expect Lu Yundi to suddenly mention such a thing. He looked at Lu Yundi, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, with both surprise and an indescribable heaviness.

"I know, Madam." Chu Qirui replied calmly, without a trace of fluctuation in his tone. "This is the Marquis's personal matter, and I shouldn't ask about it. But since you mentioned it, I want to say that this will not affect my search for the military token."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, her eyes more determined: "I mentioned this matter because it is related to Ye Wanxue. She is in the Marquis' Mansion, and you are going to sneak into the study. I don't want her to become an obstacle to our plan."

Chu Qirui was silent for a moment. He thought about Lu Yundi's words, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"Young Madam, your worries are not without reason. Ye Wanxue is indeed a variable. However, I have an idea that may be able to include her in our plan."

Lu Yundi raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Oh? How do you mean?"

Chu Qirui smiled slightly, with a glimmer of wit in his eyes: "We can use Ye Wanxue's feelings for the Marquis and make her our insider. As long as she is willing to help us, it will be much easier to sneak into the study."

A trace of doubt flashed across Lu Yundi's eyes. She thought for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Although Ye Wanxue has feelings for the Marquis, it is still unknown whether she is willing to take the risk to help us. Moreover, if she knows the existence of the military token, it may cause greater trouble."

Chu Qirui nodded, agreeing with Lu Yundi's concerns: "Indeed, this is a risk. But if we can convince her that finding the military token will benefit both her and the Marquis, perhaps she will be shaken."
