Jiang Lili's eyes widened, her face full of worry: "Will Aunt Yuqi be happy?"

Jiang Jilian looked at his daughter's worried expression, patted her hands gently, and said in a gentle tone: "Li'er, Yuqi is a smart child. I believe she can adapt to her new life. Besides, we also know the people in Ningguo Mansion. They will treat Yuqi very well."

Jiang Lili was still a little worried, but she didn't say anything more and just nodded silently.

In the following days, the family was busy preparing for the wedding, and Jiang Lili and Ye Wanxue were also busy, but they always felt a little uneasy. Jiang Lili often visited Jiang Yuqi secretly, hoping to find some comfort from her words.

A few days before the wedding, the busyness in the mansion reached its peak. Jiang Lili and Ye Wanxue had a clear division of labor. On the one hand, they assisted the servants in decorating the wedding room, and on the other hand, they prepared wedding clothes and jewelry for Jiang Yuqi. During this period, Jiang Lili found an opportunity to be alone with Jiang Yuqi.

"Aunt Yuqi, are you really ready?" Jiang Lili sat in Jiang Yuqi's room, watching her carefully arrange her wedding dress.

Jiang Yuqi smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Li'er, I know you are worried about me, but I believe in my choice. Although the Ningguo Mansion is prominent, I will not lose myself because of it."

Jiang Lili held Jiang Yuqi's hand tightly, tears welling up in her eyes: "Aunt, I'm just afraid that you will be wronged."

Jiang Yuqi patted Jiang Lili's hand gently and said softly: "Silly sister, I won't let myself be wronged. Besides, I have met the people from Ningguo Mansion, and they are very good to me."

Jiang Lili breathed a sigh of relief, but was still a little worried: "What about Chu Qirui? After all, you had that wonderful time together."

Jiang Yuqi was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Chu Qirui is a good man, but the relationship between us is not suitable for marriage. Ningguo Mansion is more suitable for me, and I believe I can find my place in this marriage."

"The Ningguo Mansion is so eager to marry Jiang Yuqi, is there something fishy going on?" Lu Yundi frowned and couldn't help asking Xiang Zhu, her trusted maid beside her.

There was a subtle worry in Lu Yundi's words, and her eyes flashed with suspicion and contemplation. Xiang Zhu, the trusted maid who had followed her for many years, immediately noticed her change of mood.

"Madam, what you said makes sense." Xiang Zhu leaned forward and answered with a frank look, "Although the Ningguo Mansion is a famous and prestigious family, it is indeed a bit unusual that they are so eager to marry into our family."

"Yeah." Lu Yundi nodded slightly, her fingers twisting the collar unconsciously, as if she was thinking about something. She raised her head, with a look of determination in her eyes, "Xiang Zhu, you know I have been looking for that military token. It is the treasure of the Marquis' Mansion and is related to the safety of the entire family."

Xiang Zhu's expression changed slightly. She knew the importance of the military token and also understood Madam's worries. She answered cautiously, "Madam, the matter of the military token should not be made public. No one in the mansion knows where it is hidden, even me..."

A hint of tenderness flashed across Lu Yundi's eyes. She patted Xiang Zhu's hand and interrupted her: "I know you are the person I trust the most, and I will not doubt you. However, if the people in Ningguo Mansion really have some plans, we have to be on guard."

"Madam, where do you think the people from the Ningguo Mansion will start?" Xiang Zhu asked softly while arranging the tea sets.

Lu Yundi shook her head slightly, her brows furrowed. "I don't know either, but they will try every means to get close to Yuqi, that's for sure. Yuqi is a simple and kind child, I'm worried that she will be used by them."

Xiang Zhu's expression became serious. She thought for a moment, then said, "Madam, I think we should take the first step and pay close attention to the movements of the Ningguo Mansion."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, with a hint of approval in her eyes: "You are right, we can't just sit there and wait for death. Xiang Zhu, go and make arrangements immediately, I want to keep an eye on this matter personally."

Xiang Zhu immediately stood up, ready to carry out her master's order. However, as soon as she took a step, Lu Yundi called her back.

"Wait a minute, Xiang Zhu." Lu Yundi's eyes became complicated. She hesitated for a moment, then said, "I can't trust anyone except you in this matter. But you also know that this matter involves too much, and I can't let you do it alone."

Xiang Zhu turned around and looked at Lu Yundi with a firm look in her eyes: "Madam, I know what I am doing. As long as you trust me, I will not let you down."

Xiang Zhu's words were full of determination and loyalty. Lu Yundi looked at her and felt a warm current in her heart. She took a deep breath and said slowly: "Okay, since you are so determined, then I am relieved. But remember, you must be careful and not be negligent."

"Yes, ma'am, I will pay close attention." Xiang Zhu replied with his head down, then turned and left with firm and powerful steps.

……

"Mrs. Gao, aren't you going too far?" Jiang Jilian raised his voice. He didn't expect the Gao family to be so ruthless.

His eyes flashed with anger and confusion, and the muscles on his face trembled slightly.

Mrs. Gao smiled gently, with a hint of arrogance and disdain in her smile. She slowly stood up from her seat, staring straight at Jiang Jilian with eyes as sharp as knives.

"Jiang Jilian, who do you think you are? Can the prestige of the Zhenxing Marquisate cover up everything?" Madam Gao's voice was low but full of power. She walked in front of Jiang Jilian, and their eyes collided fiercely in the air.

"My daughter's dowry was carefully prepared by my family Gao. She is the wife of you, Jiang Jilian, but it was stolen in your house. Do you think this is excessive?" Mrs. Gao raised her voice, her eyes revealing deep sorrow.

Jiang Jilian's face turned pale, he clenched his teeth and tried hard to control his emotions.

"Mrs. Gao, I understand your concerns. But I will get to the bottom of this matter and give Ye Wanxue justice." Jiang Jilian said in a deep voice with a firm look in his eyes.

Madam Gao smiled slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in her smile: "Fairness? Jiang Jilian, do you think justice is so easy to get?"

She turned her head and looked at the other people in the hall, her tone becoming gentler: "Everyone, I know you are all talking about this matter. I came here today to seek justice for my daughter."

The crowd in the hall began to discuss, some sympathized with Mrs. Gao, while others defended Jiang Jilian. The scene became chaotic for a while.

Jiang Jilian frowned, took a deep breath, and said to Madam Gao: "Madam Gao, I promise you that within three days, I will find the real murderer and return the dowry to you."

Mrs. Gao's eyes were as sharp as torches. She stared at Jiang Jilian, and her deep eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.

She was silent for a moment, as if weighing Jiang Jilian's promise.
