Lu Yundi nodded slightly, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "You are right, I also think that Chongren Marquis Mansion has nothing to do with this matter. Then, we have to turn our attention to other forces."

"Xiang Zhu, go and find out what's going on in the Chongren Marquis' Mansion." Lu Yundi ordered. Her eyes were deep, as if she could see into people's hearts.

Xiang Zhu bowed slightly and left. Lu Yundi looked at her leaving back and thought to himself.

Soon, the young Marquis Chu Qirui of Chongren Marquis's Mansion came to visit. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes, handsome and elegant, with extraordinary temperament. He walked into the garden and saw Lu Yundi sitting alone on the swing, so he smiled gently and walked over.

"Madam, the weather is so nice today, but you are thinking alone. What's on your mind?" Chu Qirui asked. His voice was gentle, giving people a kind feeling.

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, raised his head and looked at Chu Qirui: "Young Marquis, thank you for the compliment. I was just thinking about something. You came at the right time. I was just looking for you to discuss something."

Chu Qirui smiled slightly, sat next to Lu Yundi, and waited quietly for her next words.

Lu Yundi looked at Chu Qirui and sighed softly: "You also know about the recent events in Zhenxing Marquis Mansion. I always feel that there is something hidden behind this matter. I suspect that someone wants to use this incident to sow discord between us and Chongren Marquis Mansion."

Chu Qirui frowned slightly. He looked at Lu Yundi with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Madam, why do you suspect our Chongren Marquis Mansion? We have always been on good terms with the Zhenxing Marquis Mansion. How could we do such a thing?"

Lu Yundi shook his head gently: "I am not doubting you, but this matter is too strange and we have to be on guard. The reason why I came to discuss with you is because I trust you and think you can provide me with some clues."

Chu Qirui smiled slightly. He looked at Lu Yundi with a trace of gratitude in his eyes. "Madam, since you trust me so much, I will do my best. However, I really don't know what is hidden behind this matter. I will go back and investigate carefully to see if I can find some clues."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly. She looked at Chu Qirui with a hint of approval in her eyes: "I believe you, young marquis. When you go back, be careful. If you find anything, notify me immediately."

Chu Qirui left as soon as he was told, while Lu Yundi continued to sit on the swing, pondering over the matter.

One day, Xiang Zhu rushed in, her face pale and panicked: "Madam, it's not good. I just got the news that the young Marquis Chu Qirui of Chongren Marquis's Mansion suddenly fell ill."

Lu Yundi was slightly startled. She immediately stood up and asked seriously, "What happened? Why did you suddenly fall ill?"

Xiang Zhu shook his head: "The specific cause is still unclear, but I heard that the condition is quite serious. Madam, should we go and see it?"

Lu Yundi pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Let's go, let's go visit the young marquis. After all, he has been helping us investigate this matter all this time."

At the Chongren Marquis's Mansion, Lu Yundi and Xiang Zhu were led to Chu Qirui's room. They saw Chu Qirui lying on the bed, looking pale and sick. Lu Yundi felt distressed, and she walked to the bed and gently held Chu Qirui's hand.

"Young Marquis, how do you feel?" Lu Yundi asked, her voice gentle and concerned.

Chu Qirui smiled slightly. He looked at Lu Yundi with a hint of gratitude in his eyes. "Madam, I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm fine. I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after a rest."

……

Another fire? Did Chu Qirui take action? Lu Yundi was suspicious, but he still ran quickly to the backyard with the servants.

The flames danced in the night, illuminating every corner of the Zhenxing Marquis's mansion. Panic shouts and running footsteps echoed in the air. Lu Yundi frowned, his eyes flashing with doubt and anger, and he and Xiang Zhu hurried to the backyard.

As soon as they entered the backyard, they saw thick smoke and flames rising to the sky. The servants were frantically trying to put out the fire. Lu Yundi clenched his fists and said to Xiang Zhu, "Xiang Zhu, do you think this fire was caused by Chu Qirui?"

Xiang Zhu bit his lip tightly, a trace of contemplation flashed in his eyes, and then he whispered: "Madam, in my opinion, this fire is related to Chu Qirui. He has always had ill intentions towards the Marquis' Mansion. I'm afraid he deliberately caused the fire to cause chaos in the mansion so that he can find the military token."

Lu Yundi's eyes became more furious when she heard this. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Her fingers tapped the table unconsciously, and she was secretly weighing Xiang Zhu's words in her heart.

"Well, you are right." Lu Yundi said in a deep voice, "Chu Qirui is a man with a deep mind and vicious means. We must be on guard. However... since the fire has already started, the first thing we need to do is to put out the fire and protect everyone in the mansion."

As soon as she finished speaking, there were more urgent cries for help from the fire scene. Lu Yundi immediately directed his subordinates to organize the firefighting in an orderly manner, while arranging personnel to take care of the injured, ensuring that no corner was left out.

Xiang Zhu followed Lu Yundi closely, and looking at her calm and determined figure, he couldn't help but feel a surge of respect in his heart.

Lu Yundi is not only a marquis's wife, but also a courageous and knowledgeable woman.

The fire was gradually brought under control, but the loss of the mansion was incalculable. Lu Yundi stood in the ruins, looking at the burned houses and property, with a trace of grief in her eyes. She turned to Xiang Zhu and asked, "Xiang Zhu, how do you think we should deal with it next?"

Xiang Zhu thought for a moment and replied, "Madam, I think we should immediately investigate the cause of the fire and find out the real culprit behind it."

Lu Yundi nodded in agreement. She knew that Xiang Zhu was right. She took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's do this. First, I want you to check the cause of the fire immediately to see if there are any clues left."

Xiang Zhu accepted the order and turned around to make arrangements. But Lu Yundi stopped her again and said with a deep look in her eyes: "Xiang Zhu, Chu Qirui is cunning and cautious. We must not take him lightly. When you go down, remember to notify all the servants to be vigilant and not let Chu Qirui's spies take advantage of you."

Xiang Zhu took the order and left. Lu Yundi stood alone in the fire scene, looking at everything that was burned, his heart filled with anger and grief.

This fire was not only a blow to the Marquis's Mansion, but also a challenge to her.

She took a deep breath, her eyes determined, and she decided to find out who was behind it and seek justice for the Marquis' Mansion.

As the night deepened, the lights in the mansion gradually went out, leaving only a little light in Lu Yundi's room. She was about to rest when Xiang Zhu suddenly walked in hurriedly with a serious expression.

"Madam, I have just investigated the cause of the fire, and it is indeed a bit strange." Xiang Zhu said in a low voice, with a serious tone.

Lu Yundi immediately stood up, glanced at Xiang Zhu sharply, and asked, "Tell me, what did you find?"
