All the people in the Hou Mansion are evil, and they will be repaid tenfold after rebirth
Chapter 122 Eating Pork Knuckle
Since marrying into the Jiang family, Lu Yundi's every move has been strictly monitored by Yu. At this moment, she must be more careful to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
Jiang Jilian's sense of guilt gradually grew. He felt as if being stabbed by needles in his heart when he looked at Lu Yundi, who was obviously feeling helpless but still forcing a smile.
"Mother, you are tired too. Why don't you go back and have a rest first. We will handle this matter properly, don't worry." Jiang Jilian's voice was a little tired. He tried to use this method to let his mother leave and give his wife a chance to breathe.
Yu glared at Jiang Jilian, seeming a little dissatisfied with his attitude, but in the end she said nothing more. She just glanced at Lu Yundi coldly, then turned and left.
After Yu left, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became much more relaxed. Jiang Jilian looked at Lu Yundi, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to start.
Lu Yundi looked at Jiang Jilian, smiled gently, and tried to comfort him: "Husband, you don't have to blame yourself so much. Mother is also concerned about you, I understand."
Jiang Jilian looked at Lu Yundi and felt even more guilty.
"Madam, I know I didn't take good care of you and caused you to suffer." Jiang Jilian's voice was low and full of guilt.
Lu Yundi shook her head gently, her eyes full of understanding and tolerance: "Husband, you are joking. Since I chose to marry you, I have already made preparations. However, I hope that we can face these difficulties together, instead of letting me bear them alone."
Jiang Jilian was moved when he heard this. He held Lu Yundi's hand tightly and said firmly, "Madam, don't worry. I will stand by you and face all difficulties together."
Jiang Jilian frowned. The timing of Madam Gao's visit was strange. He felt as if the Gao family had been keeping an eye on their Zhenxing Marquisate. He tapped the table lightly and said in a deep voice, "Please come in, Madam Gao."
As soon as Jiang Jilian finished speaking, the door curtain was lifted slightly, and Madam Gao slowly walked into the main hall. She was wearing a gorgeous purple satin long dress, with delicate makeup, but her eyes could not hide her fatigue and anger. She glanced at Jiang Jilian with a hint of provocation in her eyes.
"Lord Jiang, I've heard a lot about you." Mrs. Gao bowed slightly, her voice carrying a hint of coldness.
Jiang Jilian nodded slightly, his eyes calm, "Mrs. Gao, please sit down."
The two sat down as host and guest, and Jiang Jilian's mother Yu and his wife Lu Yundi also sat down. The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Mrs. Gao, what brings you here?" Jiang Jilian asked straight to the point.
Madam Gao sneered, "Lord Jiang, do you still remember the matter of my daughter Wanxue's dowry last time?"
Jiang Jilian frowned, thinking of the case that had given him such a headache. He said in a deep voice, "Madam Gao, we have tried our best to investigate the case, but we still have no clues. If you have any clues, please tell us and we will do our best to investigate."
Madam Gao's eyes widened and she said angrily, "A clue? Are all the people in Zhenxing Marquis' Mansion useless? You can't even take care of the dowry, and you still dare to say that you will do your best to track it down?"
Lu Yundi couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Madam Gao, you are going too far. The people in our mansion are not useless, but this case is too strange and very serious. Please understand."
Madam Gao glared at Lu Yundi and sneered, "Consideration? People from your mansion stole my precious daughter's dowry, and you still want me to be considerate?"
Seeing this, Yu couldn't help but persuade her: "Madam Gao, please calm down. Our mansion is indeed responsible for this matter, but we are also trying our best to make up for it. If you have any requests, just ask, and we will do our best to meet them."
Upon hearing this, Madam Gao's expression softened slightly, but her tone was still sharp: "I want your mansion to compensate my daughter for all her dowry, and I want you to solve the case within three months and bring the thief to justice."
Jiang Jilian hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay, we agree. But there is one thing, we must investigate together to ensure fairness."
Mrs. Gao nodded slightly: "That sounds like a reasonable thing to say. Then, let's investigate together."
After saying that, Madam Gao turned and left. Jiang Jilian and the others saw her off, and when her figure disappeared in the distance, the three returned to the main hall.
Yu said worriedly, "Ji Lian, Madam Gao is really going too far. What should we do?"
Jiang Jilian took a deep breath and said, "Mother, we can't show weakness in this matter. Since we have already promised Madam Gao, we must go all out. I will personally investigate this case and make sure to find the real culprit."
Lu Yundi looked at Jiang Jilian with concern: "Jilian, you have to be careful. This Madam Gao is obviously targeting our mansion. I think there is something fishy about this matter."
Jiang Jilian held Lu Yundi's hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Madam. I will act carefully. This matter concerns the reputation of our mansion. I will never let Madam Gao succeed."
The atmosphere in the main hall was extremely heavy. Yu sighed and said, "Ji Lian, Madam Gao is not an easy person to deal with. We have to be cautious at every step. I always feel uneasy when you investigate in person."
Jiang Jilian pondered for a moment, then turned to Yu and said, "Mother, don't worry. I will let Yundi assist me. She is smart and meticulous, and can help me a lot."
Lu Yundi was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Jiang Jilian to give her such an important task. She nodded slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "I will do my best to assist Jilian."
......
"I'm hungry, I want to eat pork elbow." Jiang Yinyi didn't know what was going on. He stuffed candy in his mouth and started to yell again, pestering Jiang Jilian very tightly. It was Ye Wanxue who pulled Jiang Yinyi over and coaxed him in a soft voice.
"Don't you really understand the situation in the mansion?" Ye Wanxue frowned, her eyes revealing worry and helplessness. She gently stroked Jiang Yinyi's hair, trying to calm him down.
Jiang Yinyi stopped what he was doing and looked at Ye Wanxue in confusion, with sugar juice still hanging from the corners of his mouth. He shook his head, his big eyes flashing with curiosity: "What's going on in the mansion? Why is everyone unhappy?"
Ye Wanxue took a deep breath and tried to keep her tone calm: "There is a problem with the finances of the mansion. Now everyone has to save money and can no longer be as extravagant as before."
"Then... can I eat pork elbow?" Jiang Yinyi's naivety made Ye Wanxue feel sad. She knew that this child could not understand the plight of the mansion.
"Yinyi, do you know? Now every penny in the mansion must be spent wisely and cannot be wasted anymore. Besides, eating pork elbows is not good for the body. We should eat light food." Ye Wanxue explained patiently.
Jiang Jilian stood aside, listening to Ye Wanxue's explanation, and his heart was filled with emotion. He looked at his youngest son, his eyes full of guilt.
