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

A trace of worry flashed in Yu's eyes. She gently held Jiang Yuqi's hand and her tone became gentle: "Yuqi, mother is not asking you to force yourself. I just hope you can understand that the meaning of marriage is not only personal happiness, but also the honor and interests of the family. Your union with Song Mingxuan is crucial to the future of our Zhenxing Marquis Mansion."

Jiang Yuqi nodded silently, but her heart was filled with confusion. She looked at the scenery outside the window, and the world outside the sedan seemed to form a sharp contrast with her inner struggle.

"Yuqi, do you know?" Yu continued, "The Ningguo Mansion is very powerful. Marrying them is a rare opportunity for our Zhenxing Marquis Mansion. And Song Mingxuan's love for you gives us hope."

Jiang Yuqi bit her lip lightly. Her mother's words were not wrong, but she could not let go of the struggle in her heart. She said slowly, "Mother, I understand. I will do my best to consider the future of Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion. However, feelings are something that I cannot easily control."

Yu looked at her daughter deeply and said softly, "Yuqi, mother also hopes that you can find someone who truly loves and understands you. But in this chaotic world, sometimes, sacrificing personal feelings is for the greater benefit of the family."

The atmosphere in the sedan chair became a little heavy. Jiang Yuqi lowered her head, but her heart was complicated. She thought of Chu Qirui, the young marquis who grew up with her in the Chongren Marquis's Mansion. His eyes were always full of warmth and care. But she also understood that Chu Qirui's identity was not in line with the interests of the Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion.

At this moment, the sedan chair suddenly stopped, and a voice sounded outside: "There is a roadblock ahead, we need to take a detour."

Yu looked out the window, then turned to Jiang Yuqi and said, "Yuqi, you see, Song Mingxuan even changed his schedule for your safety. It's hard to find a husband like this."

Jiang Yuqi smiled gently, but the struggle in her heart remained.

She looked up at Yu, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Mother, I will try my best to adapt."

Yu looked at her daughter's determined eyes, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She gently patted Jiang Yuqi's hand and smiled, "Good child, mother believes in you."

Soon, Song Mingxuan walked into the main hall. He was wearing a dark blue robe with a jade belt around his waist, looking elegant and dignified. He saluted Yu and nodded to Jiang Yuqi before sitting down in the designated seat.

Yu looked at Song Mingxuan kindly and said slowly: "Mingxuan, Yuqi is a good child, you have to treat her well."

Song Mingxuan looked serious and said solemnly: "Don't worry, old lady, Mingxuan will do his best to let Yuqi live a happy life."

Yu nodded slightly and asked, "Mingxuan, what do you think of Yuqi?"

Song Mingxuan thought for a moment and said, "Yuqi is gentle and virtuous, talented and beautiful. She is the best partner Mingxuan has ever met in his life."

A trace of satisfaction flashed in Yu's eyes, and she chuckled and said, "Okay, in that case, you two should support each other and face the future storms together."

Jiang Yuqi hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Mother, Song Mingxuan, I want to say..."

Seeing her daughter hesitate to speak, Yu couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She said softly, "Yuqi, feel free to say whatever you want to say."

Jiang Yuqi took a deep breath, looked at Song Mingxuan, and said, "Mingxuan, I know you are very good to me, but I want to know, do you really like me because of my character and talent? Or is it just because we are a family marriage?"

Song Mingxuan was stunned. He didn't expect Jiang Yuqi to ask such a question. He looked at Jiang Yuqi, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, but soon he said firmly: "Yuqi, I admit that our marriage is arranged by the family, but my feelings for you are real. Since we met, I have been attracted by your intelligence and kindness. I believe that this is not a simple family marriage, but a match between our hearts."

Jiang Yuqi couldn't help but waver when she heard this. She looked at Song Mingxuan, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, but soon she smiled: "Mingxuan, thank you. I will try to let go of the past and face the future with you."

Seeing this, Yu was relieved. She smiled and said, "Okay, since you all have reached a consensus, then live a good life and don't let mother worry."

……

Jiang Jilian also thought about it. Lu Yundi had several shops as a dowry, so she must have some money.

Jiang Jilian was silent for a moment, with a barely perceptible hesitation flashing in his eyes.

He slowly raised his head, looked at Lu Yundi deeply, and his tone became softer: "Madam, you are so wise and righteous. What virtue and ability do I, Jiang Jilian, have to marry a virtuous wife like you?"

Lu Yundi shook her head gently and responded with a smile: "Husband, husband and wife are one body, how can I watch you in trouble? But, husband, have you ever thought that although my dowry can solve the problem temporarily, the expenses of the mansion are so huge, how can we support it in the long run?"

Jiang Jilian's eyes darkened. Lu Yundi was telling the truth, but the plan in his mind prevented him from answering immediately. He pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Madam, I do have an idea, but this matter involves great importance, and I need time to think about it carefully."

Lu Yundi saw Jiang Jilian's hesitation, and she sighed softly, thinking that he must have something to hide. She gently held Jiang Jilian's hand and said softly, "My husband, no matter what you plan to do, I will support you. But I hope you can tell me so that I can share some of your burden."

Jiang Jilian felt Lu Yundi's warmth and was touched, but he still couldn't tell her the secret. He patted Lu Yundi's hand gently and said, "Madam, I know what you mean. But I really need to solve this matter alone. Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to help the family get through this difficult time."

Lu Yundi looked at Jiang Jilian's eyes and knew that he had made up his mind. She stopped asking questions and just nodded gently: "Since my husband has decided so, I am relieved. I will take care of the dowry and try to save expenses for the family."

Jiang Jilian looked at Lu Yundi's back, feeling extremely complicated.

Although Lu Yundi's dowry was generous, it was all her hard work and was prepared by her father so that she could live a good life. How could Jiang Jilian bear to use this property to cover the expenses of the mansion?

However, the expenses of the Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion were indeed too high, and after this banquet, there was little money left in the public account. If a proper solution could not be found, the life of the mansion would become even more difficult. Jiang Jilian was conflicted. He did not want to make Lu Yundi worry, but he could not stand the difficulties of the mansion.

Jiang Jilian nodded. He looked at Lu Yundi and sighed deeply: "Madam, I have an idea, but I don't know if it is feasible."
