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

Lu Yundi hurriedly said, "Young Marquis, Yuqi has grown up and has her own ideas. As elders, all we can do is wish her the best."

Chu Qirui's eyes flashed with helplessness, and he nodded slowly, saying to Jiang Yuqi: "Okay, since you have made up your mind, I will not force you. I hope you can be happy in Ningguo Mansion. If you regret it one day, remember to come to me."

Jiang Yuqi nodded: "Young Marquis, I will remember your words. I hope you can find your own happiness."

Jiang Yuqi looked at Chu Qirui's departing back, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart.

When the wedding procession arrived, the old lady also came out of the Buddhist temple. As soon as Jiang Yuqi got on the bridal sedan, smoke rose from the Buddhist temple in Zhenxing Marquis's mansion.

Lu Yundi stood outside the Buddhist temple, looking at the sudden smoke rising from the temple, and couldn't help feeling uneasy.

Maid Xiang Ning hurriedly walked to Lu Yundi and said worriedly: "Madam, the smoke coming out of this Buddhist temple is an unusual sign. You must be careful."

Lu Yundi frowned slightly, her eyes revealing some doubts and worries. She whispered, "I know that the Buddhist temple is the holy place of our family, and such a strange phenomenon has never occurred before. Could this green smoke be a sign of something ominous?"

Xiang Ning gently patted Lu Yundi's shoulder and comforted her: "Madam, don't worry too much. Maybe this is just a coincidence. There is no need to be too superstitious."

Lu Yundi nodded and took Xiang Ning to the Buddhist temple. As soon as they entered the temple, they saw the smoke gradually dissipate, leaving behind a faint fragrance.

Xiang Ning looked at Lu Yundi's expression and couldn't help asking, "Madam, are you worried about the safety of the Marquis and the young lady?"

Lu Yundi sighed softly and said, "Yeah, ever since Yuqi got on the bridal sedan, I've always felt uneasy. The green smoke coming out of the Buddhist temple makes me even more worried. I'm really afraid that they will encounter some accidents."

Xiang Ning comforted her, "Madam, don't worry, the Marquis and the young lady are blessed with good fortune, and they will be safe and sound. Moreover, this green smoke may be a good omen, meaning that they will have smooth sailing."

Lu Yundi raised her head slightly, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes, but then she calmed down again. She replied to Xiang Ning softly: "I hope so. I can't let this uneasiness spread in my heart. Let's go and pray for the Buddha's blessing."

The two walked to the Buddha statue, lit incense and candles, put their hands together, and bowed their heads to pray. The tranquility in the temple formed a sharp contrast with the chaos outside, as if this place could isolate all worldly troubles.

Xiangning was standing aside, looking at the lady's pious face, and couldn't help feeling emotional.

After the prayer, Lu Yundi slowly stood up and said to Xiangning, "Xiangning, go get ready. I want to write a letter to Ji Lian to tell him about the situation here and to reassure him."

Xiang Ning took the order and left, while Lu Yundi sat in the corner of the Buddhist hall and began to write a letter. Her strokes were steady and powerful, and the words were full of concerns and blessings for her husband and sister.

After the letter was written, Xiang Ning came back. She looked at Lu Yundi, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Madam, I have always wanted to ask you, do you really believe that the green smoke coming out of the temple is a bad omen?"

Lu Yundi looked at Xiangning and smiled: "Xiangning, you know, I have always been a Buddhist. But I also know that not everything in this world can be explained by superstition. Maybe this is just a coincidence, but no matter what, I will worry about their safety."

Xiang Ning nodded. She understood Madam's feelings, but she also wanted to relieve Madam's burden: "Madam, look, does the sudden appearance of green smoke in this Buddhist temple also represent a kind of change? Perhaps, it indicates that the new life of the Marquis and the young lady will have a new beginning."

Lu Yundi's eyes flashed with thought, and she gently patted Xiang Ning's hand: "You are right, maybe this Qingyan is really a new beginning. I should turn this worry into blessing and pray for them."

"Yundi, thank you for your hard work in Yuqi's wedding this time." Jiang Jilian said perfunctorily.

"Husband, I have something to discuss with you. Let's go back to the room together!" Lu Yundi said seriously. The money in the public account was almost gone, and it was time to have a good talk.

Back in the house, the two sat down on the exquisite rosewood chairs. Jiang Jilian's eyes fell on the cup of tea on the table, while Lu Yundi frowned and spoke in a serious tone.

"Husband, you should have heard about the financial situation of our family." Lu Yundi said in a heavy tone, with a trace of worry in his eyes.

Jiang Jilian nodded gently, his expression calm: "I did hear about it, but I didn't expect it to be so serious."

"Ever since Yuqi's marriage was arranged, the expenses in the mansion have skyrocketed. Not only are the expenses for banquets and gifts huge, but everyone in the mansion has also followed suit and spent money like water. Add to that the usual expenses in the mansion, and the money in the public account is almost empty." After Lu Yundi finished speaking, he sighed.

Jiang Jilian's face became solemn. He pondered for a moment and looked up at Lu Yundi: "Madam, what do you think we should do?"

Hearing this, Lu Yundi's eyes flashed with determination. She took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "My husband, the expenses of the mansion are indeed too huge. We can't go on like this. I think, first of all, we should start with ourselves and strictly control the daily expenses of the mansion."

Jiang Jilian nodded slightly, indicating his agreement: "Well, this is a good suggestion. But how should we do it specifically?"

Lu Yundi pondered for a moment and said, "We can make a detailed account, list the expenses of the mansion one by one, and then make adjustments based on the actual situation. For example, reduce unnecessary banquets, strictly control gift expenses, and at the same time, limit the expenses of everyone in the mansion."

Jiang Jilian frowned slightly after hearing this. He said worriedly, "Will the people in the mansion have any objections to this? After all, they are used to a luxurious life."

Lu Yundi smiled lightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "My husband, these extravagant habits are exactly what we need to change. If everyone in the mansion really has objections, then we must stand firm and tell them that this is for the long-term development of the mansion."

Jiang Jilian was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly: "You are right, we must make a decision."

Lu Yundi looked at Jiang Jilian with a hint of warmth in his eyes.

This is a wise and decisive husband who will support himself as long as he makes reasonable suggestions.

"My husband, in addition to making accounts, we can also start from other aspects." Lu Yundi continued, "For example, are the land and merchants in the mansion profitable? Is there any area that can be integrated or improved?"

Jiang Jilian's eyes flashed with thought, and he nodded and said, "Indeed, the properties in the mansion also need to be sorted out. I will find an opportunity to personally inquire about it and see if there are any omissions."

"Also, regarding this marriage, has the Ningguo Mansion expressed its willingness to provide some support?" Lu Yundi asked. She knew that this was a resource that could be utilized.
