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

At this time, Xiang Ning gently pushed the door open and walked in. She looked alert and saluted, "Madam, what do you want?"

Lu Yundi smiled slightly and said to Xiangning, "Xiangning, from today on, you will assist Young Marquis Chu and follow his arrangements."

A hint of surprise flashed across Xiang Ning's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and nodded in agreement: "Xiang Ning obeys your command."

Chu Qirui looked at Xiangning and smiled, "Miss Xiangning, we have a pleasant cooperation."

After Lu Yundi left the teahouse, Chu Qirui also left quietly, but unfortunately, he was seen by the housekeeper of Zhenxing Marquis' Mansion.

The housekeeper stood at the door of the mansion, staring at Chu Qirui's departing back with a sharp gaze, feeling uneasy. He turned back to the mansion, walked quickly through the corridor, and went straight to the study of Zhenxing Marquis Jiang Jilian.

At this time, Jiang Jilian was sitting on the armchair in the study, holding an ancient book in his hand, frowning, as if thinking about something important. Hearing the footsteps, he raised his head, his eyes were like swords, sharp and deep.

"Butler, why are you in such a hurry?" Jiang Jilian asked calmly, with a hint of majesty in his tone.

The housekeeper was slightly startled, and hurriedly lowered his head, straightened his clothes, and then replied respectfully: "My Lord, I just saw Chu Qirui and his wife meeting secretly outside the mansion. They seemed to be discussing something."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jilian frowned slightly, put down the book in his hand, stood up, walked to the window, looked at the garden outside, and was silent for a moment.

"You mean, they met in the teahouse?" Jiang Ji Lian turned around and looked directly at the butler with a hint of doubt in his tone.

The butler nodded and said, "Yes, my lord. I saw it clearly. The two of them were very cautious when they went in, and when they came out, they looked hurried, as if they were afraid of being discovered."

Jiang Jilian was silent for a moment, then slowly sat down and pondered. The housekeeper stood aside, not daring to disturb him, but just waited quietly.

Jiang Jilian's face gradually became gloomy, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, as if he was weighing something. He raised his head, glanced at the housekeeper sharply, and said in a cold tone: "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

The butler replied firmly, "My Lord, I saw it clearly, there is no mistake. Moreover, the expressions on their faces when they left were indeed disturbing."

Jiang Jilian took a deep breath, tapping the table unconsciously, as if he was rehearsing something in his mind. He suddenly stood up, walked to the bookshelf, took down a thick book, flipped through a few pages, then put it down again, turned around and said to the housekeeper, "Go, tell the lady about this and let her explain it."

The butler responded and was about to leave when Jiang Jilian stopped him again: "Wait, go there yourself and don't let anyone else know."

The housekeeper took the order and left in a hurry. Jiang Jilian stood in the study, looking out the window at the night, his heart was surging.

After a while, the butler came back with a complicated look on his face. He said to Jiang Jilian, "My Lord, the Madam...she doesn't seem to want to explain too much."

Jiang Jilian's face became even gloomier. He said coldly, "Does she not want me to know, or is she hiding something?"

The housekeeper shook his head and replied, "I don't know either. But when Madam left, she seemed to be worried."

Jiang Jilian was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I understand. Go down, and don't tell anyone else about this."

The butler retreated silently, but his heart felt as if it was filled with stones, heavy.

Jiang Jilian stood in the study, his eyes deep as water, he looked out the window at night, but his mind was full of thoughts. He wondered, what was the purpose of Lu Yundi and Chu Qirui's secret meeting? Both of them were not simple characters, and their actions must have deep meanings.

At this time, Madam Lu Yundi was invited to the study by the housekeeper. She walked in and looked at Jiang Jilian's face, and knew in her heart that the housekeeper had told him about the matter.

"Ji Lian, what do you want to talk to me about?" Lu Yundi's tone was calm, but there was a barely perceptible nervousness in his eyes.

Jiang Jilian turned around and looked at Lu Yundi sharply, saying in a cold tone, "I heard that you and Chu Qirui had a secret meeting in a teahouse. Is this true?"

Lu Yundi was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Jiang Jilian to know about this so quickly. She pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Yes, I met him."

Jiang Jilian's face became even gloomier. He looked at Lu Yundi coldly, with a hint of anger in his tone: "Why did you do this? Do you know how much impact this behavior has on the reputation of Zhenxing Marquis Mansion?"

A hint of complexity flashed across Lu Yundi's eyes. She met Jiang Jilian's cold gaze with a firm but somewhat helpless tone: "I know, of course I know. But there are some things that I can't control."

Jiang Jilian frowned, anger boiling in his chest. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Then why didn't you tell me in advance? Have I become so insignificant in your heart?"

Lu Yundi shook his head gently, with a trace of sadness in his eyes: "No, Ji Lian, you will always be the most important in my heart. It's just that this matter involves too much, I'm afraid that once I tell you, it will cause a series of unnecessary troubles."

Jiang Jilian's expression softened a little, but he was still puzzled: "Then why did you take the risk to meet Chu Qirui? Do you know what kind of person he is?"

Lu Yundi sighed and smiled bitterly: "I know Chu Qirui has a bad reputation, but for some things, you can only understand the truth by knowing it yourself. I met him because I wanted to find out whether he is what we think he is."

Jiang Jilian was silent for a moment. He looked at Lu Yundi with worry in his eyes: "Do you understand now?"

Lu Yundi nodded, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "Yes, I understand now. Chu Qirui is not as evil as the outside world rumored. He has his own difficulties and difficulties."

Jiang Jilian's face was still gloomy. He said coldly: "Even so, you can't easily associate with him. You are the wife of my Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion. Your behavior represents the face of the entire Marquis's Mansion."

Lu Yundi gently held Jiang Jilian's hand, her eyes full of tenderness: "I know, Jilian. I will pay attention to my behavior and will not make you worry again."

Jiang Jilian looked at Lu Yundi, his eyes flashing with tenderness, but he still said seriously: "From now on, you must discuss everything with me, and you can't act on your own."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly and nodded: "I understand, Ji Lian."

Jiang Jilian still felt an indescribable anger in his heart. He stood up, walked to the window, looked at everything outside the window, and his mind was full of thoughts.
