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

Yan Qingyu smiled slightly, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes: "Yun Di, don't worry. If you need anything, you can contact me secretly through the messenger in the palace. I will do my best to help you."

A gleam flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes, and she bowed deeply again: "Cousin, I will never forget your kindness."

Yan Qingyu supported her and said with a smile: "Yun Di, we are a family, and we should support each other. However, you must also remember that people's hearts are unpredictable, and you must always be vigilant."

After seeing Yan Qingyu off, Lu Yundi took Jiang Zihan to see the bride, left the banquet, and entered Jiang Yuqi's room.

The room was decorated warmly and elegantly, and the sunlight outside the window shone through the gauze onto the soft bed. Jiang Yuqi was sitting at the table, looking at the wedding invitation in her hand, with a hint of anticipation and nervousness on her face.

"Sister Yuqi, it's really quiet here." Lu Yundi said with a smile, gently patting Jiang Yuqi's shoulder.

Jiang Yuqi raised her head, a hint of shyness flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled and said, "Yes, especially with the hustle and bustle there, I think this place is pretty good."

Jiang Zihan looked around curiously and asked in a low voice: "Sister, why don't you go to the party?"

Jiang Yuqi smiled slightly, gently stroked Jiang Zihan's hair, and replied: "Sister Zihan, I am just a decoration at this banquet. It is better for me to prepare my dowry quietly in this room."

Lu Yundi sat opposite Jiang Yuqi and said with a smile: "Sister Yuqi, what you said is not right. You are the jewel of our Zhenxing Marquis Mansion, who dares to look down on you?"

Jiang Yuqi smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, sister. But I really don't want to deal with those boring social events at this banquet."

Lu Yundi sighed softly and said, "Yes, this kind of occasion often makes people physically and mentally exhausted. However, sister Yuqi, you must be vigilant when you marry into the Ningguo Mansion in the capital this time. After all, the capital is in dire straits, not as bad as our Marquis Mansion."

Jiang Yuqi's eyes flashed with determination, and she said, "Don't worry, sister. I will be careful and won't make you and brother worry."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, her eyes showing deep concern. She said softly, "Yuqi, I'm not worried that you can't handle it, but the Ningguo Mansion is very important. You must be prepared for the twists and turns."

Jiang Yuqi bit her lip lightly, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. She knew that Lu Yundi's words were not alarmist, but came from the heart. She took a deep breath and said, "Sister, I understand your concerns."

Jiang Zihan watched the conversation between her two sisters and couldn't help but feel a little worried. She asked softly, "Sister, will the people in the Ningguo Mansion in the capital be difficult to get along with?"

Jiang Yuqi smiled slightly, trying to comfort Jiang Zihan, and said: "Sister Zihan, it's the same everywhere. As long as we are sincere, we will always meet people who know how to cherish. Although the Ningguo Mansion is prominent, there are also kind people in it."

Lu Yundi nodded in agreement and continued, "That's right, Sister Yuqi, you are kind-hearted and smart, I believe you can handle it. But people's hearts are unpredictable, you have to learn to protect yourself."

The three chatted for a while, and Jiang Yuqi suddenly remembered something. She looked at Lu Yundi and said, "Sister, I heard that the marriage proposal from the Ningguo Mansion this time doesn't seem to be that simple."

Lu Yundi's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she said in a deep voice: "I also think there must be something fishy about this matter. The Ningguo Mansion is of noble status, why would they suddenly attack our Zhenxing Marquis Mansion?"

Jiang Yuqi sighed softly and said, "Yes, I have the same doubts. But no matter what, I have to be prepared."

Jiang Zihan listened to the conversation between the two sisters and couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She couldn't help but ask, "Sisters, what do you mean by 'take action'?"

Lu Yundi gently patted Jiang Zihan's hand and explained softly: "Zihan, you are still young, you don't have to worry too much about these things. In short, we will protect you and let you grow up safely."

.......

"Young Marquis?" After leaving the front yard, Lu Yundi saw Chu Qirui. It was obviously inappropriate for him to appear here. She frowned slightly, but still maintained a decent smile on her face, "What are you doing..."

Chu Qirui's eyes flickered a little. He glanced at the servants around him and whispered, "Madam, I want to talk to Miss Jiang alone. Please give me some convenience."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a shrewd look in his eyes: "Young Marquis, today is my daughter Yuqi's big day. If you have anything to say, you might as well make it public at the banquet to avoid misunderstandings."

Chu Qirui's face was a little ugly. He knew what Lu Yundi meant, but he still insisted: "Madam, please believe me, my feelings for Miss Jiang are sincere. I will never allow her to marry into the Ningguo Mansion without knowing the reason."

Lu Yundi sighed softly, she walked to Chu Qirui and whispered: "Young Marquis, I understand your intention. But Yuqi's future is not something you and I can easily decide. If she really wants to go with you, I will never stop her. But if she has made up her mind, why force her?"

At this time, Jiang Yuqi walked out from the inner room, with a complicated light flashing in her eyes. When she saw Chu Qirui, her face turned pale.

Jiang Yuqi's appearance made the atmosphere even more tense. She walked in front of Lu Yundi and Chu Qirui, bowed slightly, then raised her head, looked at Chu Qirui firmly, and said in a trembling but clear voice: "Young Marquis Chu, Yuqi appreciates your kindness. But marriage is no joke. The Ningguo Mansion is well-matched with my family, and this marriage is also arranged by my parents and the matchmaker. Yuqi... Yuqi cannot elope with you."

Chu Qirui's face turned pale in an instant, and he stared at Jiang Yuqi closely, as if he wanted to see a trace of hesitation in her eyes. His lips trembled, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed deeply.

"Yuqi, are you really willing to marry someone you don't love? Do you want your lifelong happiness to be arranged like this?" Chu Qirui's voice was filled with a hint of despair.

Jiang Yuqi lowered her eyes, her fingers twisted together unconsciously, and after a moment, she spoke softly: "Young Marquis, I know you are good to me, and I have also fantasized about spending my life with you. But I can't go against my parents' wishes. Moreover, the reputation and status of the Ningguo Mansion are of great help to me and my family. I... I can't be willful."

Chu Qirui's heart seemed to be hit hard. He looked at Jiang Yuqi's resolute eyes, and the despair in his heart became deeper. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then slowly said: "Yuqi, I know you are a sensible woman, but marriage is a matter between two people. If there is no love, forcing yourself to be together will only make each other suffer."

Jiang Yuqi raised her head, a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes, but she soon became firm again: "Young Marquis, I understand your concerns. But please believe that I will try my best to adapt and cherish this marriage. Moreover, feelings can be cultivated, and I believe that time will prove everything."
