Jiang Yuqi's heart tightened when she saw this. She knew that the conflict between the two had reached a critical point. She couldn't help but take a step forward and tried to ease the atmosphere: "You two, calm down. There is always a way to solve the problem. Why do you have to make such a fuss?"
Lu Yundi sneered and glanced at Jiang Yuqi: "Yuqi, who do you think you are? Do you think you can convince us?"
Jiang Yuqi's face flushed slightly, but she did not back down: "I just think that we are all from Zhenxing Marquis Mansion, and we should work hard for the harmony of the family. Moreover, I believe that there must be a misunderstanding between you."
Chu Qirui was silent for a moment, and the anger in his eyes gradually subsided. He turned his head and looked at Jiang Yuqi: "You are right, we are all from Zhenxing Marquis Mansion. But Lu Yundi's behavior has violated our bottom line. We can't condone her mistakes just because she is one of us."
Lu Yundi snorted coldly: "Chu Qirui, do you think you can stay out of this? Don't forget that you also have your own faults. The grudge between us cannot be gotten rid of with just a few words from you."
Chu Qirui's eyes flashed with hesitation, but he quickly concealed it. He took a deep breath and looked at Lu Yundi: "Lu Yundi, I know you feel the same way. The grudge between us cannot be resolved in a day or two. But at least, we should try to understand each other and find a way to solve the problem."
Jiang Yuqi was secretly delighted to see that the two had softened their attitudes. She took the opportunity to say, "How about this, let's find some time to sit down and talk. Let's clear up all the misunderstandings and see if we can find a way to solve the problem."
Lu Yundi hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, I agree. But Chu Qirui, you must promise me that you will not pursue my guilt anymore."
Chu Qirui was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "I promise you. But you must also promise me that you will no longer interfere in the affairs of Zhenxing Marquis Mansion."
The three reached a consensus and the atmosphere gradually eased. But Jiang Yuqi knew in her heart that this was only a temporary calm. The grievances in Zhenxing Marquis Mansion would take a longer time to resolve.
In the next few days, the atmosphere in Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion became extremely subtle. Although Chu Qirui and Lu Yundi temporarily put aside their grudges, the conflict between them still existed. Jiang Yuqi shuttled back and forth between the two, trying to resolve their misunderstandings.
One day, Jiang Yuqi invited Chu Qirui and Lu Yundi to take a walk in the garden. The three of them strolled among the flower paths, keeping a certain distance from each other.
"Yuqi, what kind of person do you think I am?" Chu Qirui suddenly asked.
Jiang Yuqi smiled slightly: "You are a smart and brave person. Although you are a little stubborn sometimes, but overall, you are a trustworthy person."
Chu Qirui nodded and asked, "What about Lu Yundi?"
Jiang Yuqi hesitated for a moment and said, "Lu Yundi is a smart and independent woman. Although she is a little willful, she is kind-hearted and loyal to her friends."
Chu Qirui was silent for a moment, with a complicated look in his eyes: "I know she is a good woman, but I just can't accept what she did."
Jiang Yuqi gently held Chu Qirui's hand: "Give her a chance, and give ourselves a chance. Try to understand her, maybe you will find that she is not what you think."
Chu Qirui looked at Jiang Yuqi, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes. He nodded in agreement.
At this time, Lu Yundi came over. She looked at the two of them with a hint of worry in her eyes: "What are you talking about?"
Jiang Yuqi smiled slightly: "We are talking about you."
Lu Yundi widened his eyes, a little surprised: "Talk about me?"
Chu Qirui patted Jiang Yuqi's hand gently, then turned his head and looked at Lu Yundi: "Yes, we are talking about you. I think we need to get to know you again."
A hint of joy flashed across Lu Yundi's eyes, but she quickly concealed it and snorted coldly: "Humph, I don't want to get to know you all again. However, if you are really willing to let go of the past grudges, then I can consider it."
The three people's eyes met, and the atmosphere between them became more subtle.
As soon as Lu Yundi finished speaking, there was silence for a moment, and only the sound of drizzle hitting the window frame could be heard outside the warm room.
Chu Qirui's eyebrows flashed with surprise, and then he showed a playful smile, which was deep and unpredictable. He gently bowed and said: "Prince's wife, you are too kind. Everything in the past is just a prologue. Qirui came here today, hoping to put aside the past grudges with you and plan for the future together."
Jiang Yuqi sat aside, observing the conversation silently, with a sharp look in her eyes. Hearing Chu Qirui's words, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she said softly: "Prince Chu is really good at talking, but although his words are beautiful, I don't know if they are from the heart."
Lu Yundi glanced at Jiang Yuqi. She knew that the eldest daughter of the Zhenxing Marquisate was always scheming, so she couldn't help but frown. However, years of palace life had taught her to hide her emotions. She just smiled and responded, "Sister Yuqi is right. The truth of words will be revealed over time."
The atmosphere fell into a subtle silence again. At this moment, a maid walked into the banquet hall with a plate of steaming snacks in her hand, breaking the silence.
"Princess, this is your favorite almond pastry, specially prepared for you." The maid said respectfully.
Lu Yundi nodded slightly, her eyes softened for a moment. She picked up a piece of almond cake, took a bite, then turned to Chu Qirui and Jiang Yuqi, her tone softened: "Since everyone is here, why don't we talk about how to work together for the future of Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion."
Chu Qirui's eyes flashed with admiration. He knew that Lu Yundi was a smart woman who knew how to change the topic at a critical moment to resolve the awkwardness. He smiled slightly and responded, "That's right. Qirui is not talented, but I am willing to do my part for the development of Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion."
Jiang Yuqi also restrained her previous sharpness. She nodded gently and continued, "You are too polite, Master Chu. Yuqi is also willing to do her part for the prosperity of the Marquis' Mansion."
Lu Yundi glanced at Chu Qirui and found that his eyes were deep and firm, as if hiding some unknown secret. Jiang Yuqi always maintained an elegant smile, but behind that smile, people felt a little elusive.
As the night progressed, the candlelight in the banquet hall gradually dimmed, but the conversation between the three became more intense. It was not until the rain stopped and the clouds dispersed outside the window, and the morning light appeared, that they finally reached some preliminary consensus.
"Today's conversation was quite interesting." Chu Qirui said to Lu Yundi and Jiang Yuqi as he stood up to say goodbye, "If there is an opportunity in the future, Qirui is willing to discuss the plans for the Marquis' Mansion with you again."
Lu Yundi and Jiang Yuqi also stood up to return the greetings. With Chu Qirui's departure, the banquet hall returned to peace again.
