Song Mingxuan stood in the courtyard, looking at the bright moon in the sky, pondered for a moment, and then slowly recited a poem.

Jiang Yuqi and Lu Yundi were both moved by his talent and couldn't help but admire him secretly.

After reciting the poem, Song Mingxuan returned to the hall, while Jiang Yuqi and Lu Yundi returned to the inner room to discuss the matters concerning the marriage.

"Yuqi, what do you think of Prince Song?" asked Lu Yundi.

Jiang Yuqi nodded slightly: "Prince Song is talented and elegant. But I still need time to think about it."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly: "Marriage is a big deal, so we must consider it carefully. However, I think Prince Song is indeed a good choice.

Jiang Yuqi was silent for a moment, with a trace of confusion in her eyes. She said softly to Lu Yundi: "I understand what you mean. But there is already someone in my heart."

Lu Yundi was slightly stunned. She looked at Jiang Yuqi and had expected Jiang Yuqi to say this.

The person in Jiang Yuqi's heart is Chu Qirui, the young marquis of Chongren Marquis Mansion. But Chu Qirui's identity and status seem insignificant compared to the marriage between Zhenxing Marquis Mansion and Ningguo Duke Mansion.

"Yuqi, you know that marriage is not a joke. It concerns the interests of two families." Lu Yundi persuaded softly, trying to make Jiang Yuqi understand the importance of it.

Jiang Yuqi bit her lower lip lightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes. "Madam, I know. But I can't give up my own happiness just for the benefit of my family."

Lu Yundi looked at Jiang Yuqi and sighed in her heart. She said softly, "Yuqi, don't be anxious, let's discuss it carefully."

"Yuqi, I know how you feel about Chu Qirui, but you have to understand that this is not just about your happiness, it's also about the future of our entire family." Lu Yundi's eyes revealed deep concern, and her voice was soft but firm.

Jiang Yuqi trembled slightly. She tried to suppress the fluctuations in her heart and slowly said, "Sister-in-law, I know the importance of family, but I can't ignore my heart. Chu Qirui...he is really good to me."

Lu Yundi was silent for a moment, she looked at the sky outside the window, as if thinking about something. Then, she turned her head and said to Jiang Yuqi: "Yuqi, I understand your feelings about love. But you have to know that this world is not only about feelings, but also about responsibilities and commitments."

A trace of confusion flashed in Jiang Yuqi's eyes. She lowered her head and remained silent.

"You see, although the Chongren Marquis Mansion is not as good as our Zhenxing Marquis Mansion, Chu Qirui's status is not low. If you really love each other, we can try to discuss with the Chongren Marquis Mansion to see if it is possible..." Lu Yundi tried to find a way out for Jiang Yuqi.

Jiang Yuqi raised her head, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes: "Sister-in-law, is it really possible?"

Lu Yundi smiled slightly and patted Jiang Yuqi's hand gently: "Of course. As long as you tell us, we will try our best. But you must promise me not to make any decision easily before the results come out."

Jiang Yuqi nodded, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes: "Thank you, sister-in-law, I understand."

……

The tavern became a ruin. Yu wanted to give it to Jiang Yuqi, but Jiang Yuqi didn't want it anymore. Finally, the mess was left to Lu Yundi.

In the scorched earth of the mansion, the maids of Zhenxing Marquis's mansion were whispering about the fire in the wine shop. Lu Yundi stood beside the ruins, looking at the former prosperity, with a trace of barely perceptible sadness in her eyes. She turned back to the mansion, and the maid Xiangning immediately came to greet her.

Xiang Ning asked anxiously, "Madam, this wine shop is now in ruins. What should we do? The old lady no longer cares about it, and this mess is thrown to you again."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly and said calmly: "Xiangning, this wine shop is one of the important industries of the mansion. We can't just let it go to waste. I have to find a way to get it back on its feet."

A trace of worry flashed across Xiang Ning's eyes: "Madam, this is not an easy task. The financial resources of the mansion are limited now, and rebuilding the wine shop requires a lot of funds. Moreover, if the wine shop wants to make a profit again after the reconstruction, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort."

Lu Yundi looked at Xiangning, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "I know this is not easy, but the glory of Zhenxing Marquis Mansion cannot be dimmed by a fire. I will find a way to raise funds, and I will personally monitor the reconstruction of the wine shop."

Xiang Ning couldn't help but frowned in worry when he heard this: "Madam, you are already busy enough, and you have to personally take care of the reconstruction of the wine shop. Isn't this even more tiring?"

Lu Yundi patted Xiang Ning's hand gently and said with a smile: "Xiang Ning, you have been with me for so long, you should know my style of doing things. I must personally inquire about this matter. Moreover, I believe you have the ability to help me share some of the burden."

Xiang Ning felt warm in her heart when she heard this, but she was still a little worried: "Madam, I will do my best, but the pressure in the mansion is too great, it would be too hard for you to bear it alone."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, her eyes revealing an unquestionable firmness: "Xiangning, I know you care about me, but this is my responsibility as the wife of Zhenxing Marquis. Now, let's solve the problem at hand first."

The two returned to the study, and Lu Yundi began to carefully look through the account books, looking for places where he could save money. Xiang Ning quietly sorted out the documents beside him, and looked up from time to time to observe Lu Yundi's expression.

In the dim study, the light illuminated Lu Yundi's focused face. The brush in her hand gently scratched across the account book, and every word seemed to carry her determination and hope. Xiang Ning, standing aside, looked at the lady's rigorous attitude that could not afford to make any mistakes, and couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart.

"Madam, it seems that the expenses here can be cut down appropriately." Xiang Ning said, pointing to a line of words in the account book.

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "Yes, we can indeed save some money here. Xiangning, you have a good eye in this regard."

Xiang Ning smiled slightly, but his heart became heavier: "Madam, although we can save money, the cost of rebuilding the wine shop is still a big problem. With the current situation of the mansion, I am afraid it will be difficult to raise enough funds."

Lu Yundi was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up and said to Xiang Ning: "Xiang Ning, you know my position in the mansion. Although the old lady has limited trust in me, my husband Jiang Jilian has always supported me. I will try to ask him for help."

Xiang Ning's eyes flashed with surprise: "Madam, are you really going to ask the Marquis?"

Lu Yundi sighed softly: "I know it's risky to do this, but at this point, we have no other choice. If my husband can't understand and support me, then there's really no way to talk about rebuilding this wine shop."

Xiang Ning looked at Lu Yundi quietly, with a trace of respect in her heart. Although the lady was a woman, her tenacity and wisdom made many people in the mansion feel ashamed.
