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

Lu Yundi was silent for a moment. She looked at Chu Qirui with a gleam of determination in her eyes: "Okay, in that case, let's give it a try. However, this must be done in secret and no one can know about it."

Chu Qirui nodded slightly, his expression firm: "I understand, Madam. I will handle this matter carefully."

Lu Yundi turned around and looked up at the night sky outside. The moonlight shone on her face, reflecting her determined outline.

Once this adventure begins, there is no turning back. She took a deep breath and turned to face Chu Qirui.

"Then, the first thing we need to do is how to get close to Ye Wanxue." Lu Yundi said, his tone revealing an unquestionable determination.

Chu Qirui thought for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Ye Wanxue's status in the Marquis's Mansion is not low, and she often participates in the affairs of the Mansion. We can start with the banquets or gatherings in the Mansion and try to contact her."

Lu Yundi nodded, with a gleam in his eyes: "The banquet is a good opportunity. I will arrange a banquet and invite all the ladies in the mansion, including Ye Wanxue. Then, you can attend as sister Yuqi's boyfriend, so as not to arouse suspicion."

Chu Qirui smiled slightly, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes: "Madam, your arrangements are very thoughtful. I will be well prepared to ensure that I can communicate with Ye Wanxue at the banquet."

"No, I don't want to marry out of the capital." Before the matchmaker finished speaking, Jiang Yuqi interrupted her.

Jiang Jilian's wife Lu Yundi frowned slightly when she heard this. She coughed lightly, signaling the matchmaker to stop for a while, then turned to look at Jiang Yuqi, with a hint of reproach in her eyes: "Yuqi, don't be rude."

Jiang Yuqi realized her own gaffe, her cheeks slightly reddened, she lowered her head, but her voice remained firm: "Mother, I really don't want to leave the capital, here are my family, everything I'm familiar with."

Jiang Yuqi bit her lip and looked at her mother firmly: "I know, mother. I would rather not marry for life than leave the capital and leave Chu Qirui."

The matchmaker stood there in a daze, obviously not expecting to encounter such a situation.

She coughed awkwardly, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere: "Mrs. Jiang, Miss Jiang, the marriage of Ningguo Mansion is a done deal, we have to discuss it."

Lu Yundi sighed softly. This matter was not easy to resolve. She turned to the matchmaker and smiled slightly: "Matchmaker, please take a seat first. Let's talk about this matter carefully."

The matchmaker nodded and sat down. Lu Yundi poured a cup of tea for the matchmaker and then turned back to her seat.

"Yuqi, you know that your mother does this for your own good. The Ningguo Mansion has a prominent status, and if you marry there, your life in the capital will be better in the future." Lu Yundi tried to persuade her daughter.

Jiang Yuqi shook her head gently, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Mother, I know you are doing this for my own good, but feelings cannot be forced. Chu Qirui and I love each other, and I cannot accept spending the rest of my life with a stranger."

Lu Yundi sighed. As she looked at her daughter, she couldn't help but think of Chu Qirui's true thoughts.

Chu Qirui was just using Yuqi, but she still hoped that her daughter would marry in the capital to avoid being hurt.

"Yuqi, have you ever thought that although feelings are important, the interests of the family cannot be ignored. The combination of the Ningguo Mansion and the Zhenxing Marquis Mansion has extraordinary significance for our family." Lu Yundi said earnestly.

Jiang Yuqi was silent for a moment. Her mother's words were not without reason. But the love in her heart made her unable to accept such a reality. She looked up at her mother with tears in her eyes: "Mom, I understand your concerns, but I really can't accept separation from Chu Qirui."

Lu Yundi's heart softened. Once a decision is made, it is difficult to change it. She sighed and patted her daughter's hand gently: "Yuqi, calm down first. We will discuss this matter slowly."

Jiang Yuqi nodded silently, tears welling up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall.

Seeing this, the matchmaker hurriedly interrupted and said, "Mrs. Jiang, Miss Jiang, if this marriage is settled, it will benefit both families. How about this, I will go back and discuss it with the Ningguo Mansion to see if there is a way to have the best of both worlds."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, expressing a certain approval of the matchmaker's proposal. She turned her head and looked at Jiang Yuqi softly: "Yuqi, go back first and let your mother think about it carefully. This is related to your lifelong happiness, we can't make a hasty decision."

Jiang Yuqi slowly stood up, bowed to her mother, and then quietly left. She felt heavy-hearted and her steps seemed to be a little unsteady.

Only Lu Yundi and the matchmaker were left in the room. They sat facing each other in silence, and the atmosphere seemed a little heavy.

The matchmaker took a sip of tea and broke the silence: "Madam Jiang, this matter is indeed difficult to handle. However, you also know that the Ningguo Mansion is very powerful. If we can get married, it will also be a great help to the Zhenxing Marquis Mansion."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly. She certainly understood these principles. But as a mother, she was more concerned about her daughter's happiness. She sighed and said to the matchmaker, "I know, but Yuqi is a stubborn child. If she makes a decision, it will be difficult for me to change her mind."

The matchmaker pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "Mrs. Jiang, I heard that Chu Qirui is not an ordinary person. If he really likes Miss Jiang, perhaps we can mediate and see if it is possible to have the best of both worlds."

Lu Yundi nodded: "Okay, thank you for your help. However, you must be careful about this matter and don't let Yuqi know."

Jiang Yuqi heard this, and the determination in her eyes was gradually replaced by helplessness. She shook her head slowly, tears welling up in her eyes: "Mother, I understand what you said, but I only have Chu Qirui in my heart. I am not the kind of person who can easily let go of feelings. If I marry someone else, I will only suffer."

Seeing her daughter like this, Lu Yundi couldn't help but waver. She was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and tried to persuade her daughter in a more resolute tone: "Yuqi, I know you are a lover, but you have to understand that this world is not just about love. Sometimes, we have to make some sacrifices for the family and for a longer-term future."

Jiang Yuqi bit her lips tightly, tears falling. She picked up the handkerchief beside her and wiped them gently: "Mother, I can sacrifice a lot for the family, but love is my last bottom line. I don't want to compromise, and I don't want to build a marriage without love."

Seeing this, the matchmaker couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Miss Jiang, I understand your infatuation, but you also have to think about your mother. The marriage of Ningguo Mansion is a beautiful marriage for Zhenxing Marquis Mansion. If you are unwilling, I am afraid it will hurt your mother's heart."

Jiang Yuqi looked at the matchmaker, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Matchmaker, I know you have good intentions, but I have made up my mind. Unless I die, I will not marry the young master of the Ningguo Mansion."
