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

Jiang Jilian thought it was feasible and looked at Jiang Yuqi with relief in his eyes.

"Yuqi, if you can marry into the Ningguo Mansion, I will be happy for you."

Yuqi lowered her head slightly, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes, but she soon raised her head firmly and looked at Jiang Jilian with a firm gaze: "Brother, I know this marriage is of great significance to our Marquis' Mansion, but my heart... has been given to Qirui."

Jiang Jilian frowned slightly. He knew the relationship between his sister and Chu Qirui, but the power of the Ningguo Mansion was of great help to the revitalization of the Marquis' Mansion. He sighed deeply and tried to persuade her: "Yuqi, you don't understand yet. This marriage is crucial to the future of our Marquis' Mansion. The Ningguo Mansion is extremely powerful. If we can marry it, it will have immeasurable benefits for the development of our Marquis' Mansion."

Jiang Yuqi bit her lips tightly, a trace of pain flashed in her eyes, but she still insisted: "Brother, feelings are something that cannot be forced. The feelings between Qirui and I are sincere, and I can't betray my heart. Moreover, Chu Qirui...he also treats me sincerely."

Jiang Jilian was silent for a moment, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He sat down slowly, motioned Jiang Yuqi to sit down as well, and his tone became much gentler: "Yuqi, you are right, feelings really can't be forced. But have you ever thought about it, this marriage is not only about your personal happiness, but also about the future of the entire Marquis' Mansion. Are you willing to put the Marquis' Mansion in trouble for your own happiness?"

Jiang Yuqi's eyes flashed with a trace of struggle. Her brother's words were not without reason, but the love in her heart was like a prairie fire that was difficult to extinguish. She whispered, "Brother, I don't want the Marquis' Mansion to fall into trouble, but I can't give up my own happiness just for the benefit of the Marquis' Mansion. Chu Qirui has the ability, and if he is willing, he can also help the Marquis' Mansion to revitalize it."

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the door, and Chu Qirui walked in. He was dressed in a simple blue shirt, and he looked energetic. He could feel the tense atmosphere as soon as he entered the door. He was slightly stunned, and then he understood the reason. He walked forward, bowed to Jiang Jilian, then turned to Jiang Yuqi, and said with a firm look: "Yuqi, I heard about the marriage of Ningguo Mansion, and I understand your worries. But I am willing to work hard for the support of the mansion for you and for our love."

Jiang Jilian looked at Chu Qirui, with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.

He asked in a deep voice: "Chu Qirui, do you know the power of the Ningguo Mansion? Are you willing to challenge such a force for Yuqi?"

There was no sign of retreat in Chu Qirui's eyes. He answered firmly: "My Lord, I understand the power of the Ningguo Mansion, but I understand my feelings for Yuqi even more. I am willing to do my best for our love. As long as the Mansion is willing to give us a chance, I will not let you down."

Jiang Jilian was silent for a moment. He was touched by Chu Qirui's firmness and determination.

He slowly stood up and walked in front of Chu Qirui, with a hint of consideration in his eyes.

"Chu Qirui, your courage is commendable, but you know that the interests of the Marquis' Mansion are above everything else. I must consider the future of the entire family." Jiang Jilian's tone was serious, but there was no longer the previous indifference in his eyes.

Chu Qirui nodded. He understood Jiang Jilian's concerns, but he also had his own insistence: "My Lord, I understand your concerns. But I would like to ask, if I can prove that I have the ability to bring benefits to the Marquis' Mansion, would the Marquis' Mansion be willing to consider our marriage?"

Jiang Jilian frowned slightly. Although Chu Qirui's words were reasonable, he had to think carefully about the risks involved. He pondered for a moment, and scanned Chu Qirui's face with a sharp gaze, as if looking for an answer.

"Can you prove that you have the ability?" Jiang Jilian's voice was low, revealing a hint of unquestionableness.

Chu Qirui straightened his back, puffed out his chest, and looked at Jiang Jilian with a firm gaze: "Brother Jilian, I have two suggestions. First, I am willing to represent the Marquis's Mansion to go to Southeast Asia and negotiate with the merchants there to open up new sources of income for the Marquis's Mansion. Second, I am willing to help the Marquis's Mansion consolidate its position in the court and use my family's power to seek more benefits for the Marquis's Mansion."

A hint of approval flashed in Jiang Jilian's eyes. Chu Qirui's proposal really made him excited.

But he still needs to be cautious, after all, this is a gamble concerning the future of his family.

"Chu Qirui, do you know that the trip to Southeast Asia is extremely dangerous? If you are not careful, you may lose your life?" Jiang Jilian said in a serious tone, trying to test Chu Qirui's determination.

Chu Qirui's eyes showed no sign of retreat. He calmly replied, "I understand, but for the sake of the Marquis' Mansion and Yuqi, I am willing to take the risk. Even if I die, I will not hesitate."

Jiang Jilian looked at Chu Qirui deeply, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.

He pondered for a moment and finally made up his mind: "Okay, Chu Qirui, I'll give you a chance. But you must remember that once you set foot on the Nanyang trip, your life or death is uncertain. You must be fully prepared."

A glimmer of joy flashed in Chu Qirui's eyes, and he nodded quickly: "Brother Ji Lian, I will definitely make full preparations and live up to your expectations."

After the two reached a consensus, the atmosphere became relaxed.

Jiang Jilian invited Chu Qirui to have dinner together. Chu Qirui was delighted, but he also remained polite and humbly agreed.

After dinner, the two sat in the garden of the Marquis's mansion, the moonlight shining on them, making them look particularly peaceful. Chu Qirui looked at Jiang Jilian and suddenly said, "Brother Jilian, do you know that I have a secret in my heart that I have never told anyone."

A hint of curiosity flashed in Jiang Jilian's eyes. He looked at Chu Qirui, waiting for what to come.

Chu Qirui took a deep breath and then slowly said, "I lived in Nanyang for a period of time when I was a child. The people and things there had a profound impact on me. I know very well that Nanyang has unlimited business opportunities and I also know how to deal with the businessmen there. This is why I dare to recommend myself."

Jiang Jilian's eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't expect Chu Qirui to have such an experience. He looked at Chu Qirui and became more determined to let him go to Nanyang.

"So that's how it is, Chu Qirui, you are indeed a talented person." Jiang Jilian exclaimed.

Chu Qirui smiled slightly. He looked at Jiang Jilian with gratitude in his heart: "Brother Jilian, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will do my best to bring glory to the Marquis' Mansion."

There was a gleam of wisdom in Chu Qirui's eyes and his words were full of confidence and determination.

As the night progressed, their conversation became more and more interesting.

Jiang Jilian looked at Chu Qirui and secretly felt lucky that he had not made a mistake. Chu Qirui secretly made up his mind to do his best for the Marquis' Mansion and Yuqi and live up to everyone's expectations.
