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

Yu chuckled and said, "Yun Di, you also know that the financial situation of the mansion has been bad recently. I am doing this for the sake of the family. It would be great if you could lend your dowry to the mansion temporarily to help with the flow."

Lu Yundi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. She slowly said, "Mother, you misunderstood. Although my dowry is not in the mansion, I am not without preparation. I have moved part of my property to a safe place, and the rest is temporarily stored in the Lu family. As for lending it to the mansion for circulation, I think I'd better wait until I get all the dowry back."

Yu's expression changed slightly. She didn't expect that Lu Yundi had already been prepared. She sneered, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone: "Yundi, are you on guard against me?"

Lu Yundi restrained her smile and said seriously, "Mother, you misunderstood. I just think that the financial problems in the mansion did not arise overnight and need to be solved fundamentally. Moreover, my dowry was given by my Lu family, and I have the right to decide how to use it. If I lend out my dowry without solving the fundamental problem, I am worried that it will be wasted."

Yu's face became even uglier. She stared at Lu Yundi with a hint of resentment in her eyes. She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and said slowly: "Yundi, do you think you can keep your dowry by doing this? Don't forget, you are now a member of the Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion, and you also have a role in the affairs of the mansion."

Lu Yundi smiled gently, with a hint of firmness in her tone: "Mother, I know that I am already a member of Zhenxing Marquis Mansion. But I also know that my dowry is my personal property."

There was an unquestionable majesty in Yu's words, but Lu Yundi did not back down. Her firm tone seemed to silently tell Yu that she had firm control over her dowry.

Yu's face became even gloomier. Lu Yundi's attitude was undoubtedly a challenge to her authority. She looked at Lu Yundi coldly, her eyes full of warnings: "Yundi, do you think you can stay out of trouble like this? In this mansion, your every move is under the eyes of everyone."

Lu Yundi met Yu's gaze with a calm expression and a calm tone: "Mother, I don't want to stay out of this. I just want to protect my rights and interests within my ability. Moreover, I believe that as long as everyone in the mansion works together, we will be able to overcome this difficulty."

The warning in Yu's eyes became stronger. She snorted coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "Work together? Do you think everyone in the mansion will think like you? Don't forget, people's hearts are hard to predict, especially women."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly. Yu was hinting at something, but she was not afraid: "Mother, human hearts are indeed unpredictable, but I also believe that sincerity will always be rewarded. As for the other people in the mansion, I believe they can distinguish right from wrong."

Yu's eyes turned cold. She didn't expect Lu Yundi to be so confident. She sneered, "Yundi, do you think you can control this mansion with your intelligence? Don't forget, this is the Zhenxing Marquis Mansion, not your Lu family's territory."

A hint of determination flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes, and she replied calmly: "Mother, I have never thought about controlling this mansion. I just want to do my part and contribute to the mansion to the best of my ability. As for the power of the mansion, Jiang Jilian will make the decision."

After hearing this, Yu's expression eased a little. Yun Di's words made sense, but she was still unwilling to give up, so she changed her strategy: "Yun Di, you are a smart woman, and I don't want to be your enemy. As long as you are willing to lend your dowry to the mansion for circulation, I can guarantee that you will also have a share of the benefits of the mansion in the future."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly. She saw through Yu's intentions, but she was unmoved: "Mother, I appreciate your kindness. But I have already said that my dowry is my personal property, and I have the right to decide how to use it. Moreover, I believe that the problems in the mansion cannot be solved only by borrowing my dowry."

Yu's face darkened completely. Lu Yundi had made up her mind, and it was futile to say anything more. She took a deep breath and tried to stay calm: "Yundi, are you forcing me?"

Lu Yundi shook her head gently, saying calmly, "Mother, I am just defending my rights. If this counts as forcing you, then I can only apologize."

……

As Jiang Yuqi's wedding date approached, Lu Yundi went to a place and on the way, she met her cousin Yan Qingyu, with whom she had an appointment in advance.

The two met at the agreed teahouse, where Yan Qingyu had already been waiting.

She was wearing a lavender silk dress, and her eyes showed the wisdom accumulated over the years. When Lu Yundi walked into the private room, Yan Qingyu stood up to greet her with a smile.

"Cousin, you're here." Lu Yundi bowed slightly with a hint of worry on her face.

"Yundi, you look like you are worried, but what big thing happened in the mansion?" Yan Qingyu asked with concern, his eyes as sharp as torches, as if he could see through people's hearts.

Lu Yundi sighed softly and slowly sat down opposite Yan Qingyu. Her fingers unconsciously fiddled with the teacup on the table, as if looking for the right words.

"Cousin, Yuqi's wedding is coming soon, as you know. But I always feel uneasy, and I always feel that there must be something fishy going on."

Yan Qingyu nodded slightly, with a sharp look in her eyes. She gently picked up the teacup, sniffed the tea, and then slowly said: "Yun Di, I know your concerns. Although the Ningguo Mansion is prominent, the complexity of it is not known to the outside world."

"That's right." Lu Yundi frowned, with a bit of helplessness in his tone, "Yuqi is still young and doesn't know much about the world. I'm worried that she will be wronged in Ningguo Mansion."

Yan Qingyu put down his teacup and looked at Lu Yundi solemnly: "Yundi, what you said makes sense. But have you ever thought about what you can do if something unexpected really happens?"

Lu Yundi bit her lower lip, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes: "Cousin, it is precisely because I am powerless that I want to ask you for help. Your status in the palace is extraordinary. If you can give me some advice, perhaps this storm can be resolved."

Yan Qingyu was silent for a moment. She looked at Lu Yundi deeply, and her eyes seemed to be a little shaken. Then, she slowly said: "Yundi, you know, although I have some status in the palace, I can't easily interfere with the Ningguo Mansion. However, I can give you some advice."

Lu Yundi straightened her back immediately, with hope in her eyes: "Cousin, please speak."

"First of all, you must find out the specific situation in the Ningguo Mansion. The internal relationships in the Ningguo Mansion are intricate and complicated, and you must find someone you can rely on." Yan Qingyu said slowly, revealing deep wisdom in his words.

"Cousin, you mean..."

"Yes, I mean the eldest lady in the Ningguo Mansion."
