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

The old lady's face turned even paler. She tightly grasped Jiang Jilian's hand and said in a trembling voice, "Lian'er, you are wrong. That Buddha statue is not as ordinary as you think. It is very important to our mansion and even the entire Western Wei Kingdom."

Jiang Jilian looked at the old lady in confusion, feeling uneasy: "Grandma, what do you mean? What secrets does the Buddha statue hide?"

The old lady continued, "There is a military token hidden in the Buddha statue. This military token is related to our dynasty. If the military token falls into the hands of others, I am afraid that the safety of the entire Western Wei Kingdom will be threatened."

Jiang Jilian was shocked. He didn't expect that a seemingly ordinary Buddha statue could hide such an important secret. He hurriedly asked, "Grandma, how did this military token get hidden in the Buddha statue?"

The old lady smiled slightly, with a sly look in her eyes. "The inside of this Buddha statue is hollow, and the military amulet is hidden inside. In order to prevent the military amulet from being stolen, our ancestors deliberately designed the Buddha statue to be very ordinary, so that people could not detect the mystery inside it."

Jiang Jilian was moved after hearing what his grandmother said. He knew that his grandmother would never say such things lightly, and this must be a very serious matter. He held the old lady's hand tightly and said sincerely, "Grandma, I understand. I will start looking for the Buddha statue immediately and ensure the safety of the military talisman."

The old lady nodded, her eyes revealing relief: "Lian'er, Grandmother knows that you are a responsible child. But this matter of the military token is very involved, you must act carefully."

Jiang Jilian answered firmly: "Grandma, rest assured, I will do my best and will not let any force take advantage of me."

At this time, the servant came in to report that the Feng family doctor had arrived.

Jiang Jilian hurriedly asked the servant to invite Feng Fu doctor to come in and check the old lady's pulse. After carefully checking the old lady's pulse, Feng Fu doctor prescribed several doses of medicine and told Jiang Jilian to pay more attention to the old lady's health.

After the Feng family doctor left, Jiang Jilian sat down beside the old lady's bed again and asked, "Grandma, can you tell me in detail the importance of this military talisman and why it was hidden in the Buddha statue?"

The old lady said slowly, "This military token is the national treasure of the Western Wei Kingdom. It represents the emperor's supreme command over the army. In order to prevent civil strife, our ancestors divided the military token into two parts, one half was hidden in the palace, and the other half was hidden in the Buddha statue in Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion. In this way, even if there is a change in the palace, Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion can quickly raise troops to defend the king and maintain national stability."

After hearing this, Jiang Jilian understood even more clearly why his grandmother valued the Buddha statue. He asked, "Grandma, how many people know this secret now?"

The old lady sighed: "In addition to the direct bloodline of our Zhenxing Marquisate, there are several trusted old ministers who know this secret. But people's hearts are unpredictable, you must act carefully and not let this secret leak out."

Jiang Jilian nodded, and had already made up his mind. He stood up and said to the old lady, "Grandma, I will go to the warehouse to investigate and see if there are any clues."

The old lady nodded and warned, "Lian'er, be careful and don't act rashly. Now all forces are eyeing this military token, you must ensure its safety."

Jiang Jilian responded and left the old lady's room with firm steps.

It was late at night and the lights in the mansion were dim, but Jiang Jilian did not hesitate in his steps.

After passing through the corridors, Jiang Jilian arrived in front of the warehouse.

He gently pushed open the door of the storehouse, and saw all kinds of weapons and ancient books inside, each of which was a family heirloom of the Zhenxing Marquisate. He went straight to the point, walked to a huge iron box, opened the lid, and placed various scrolls and jade slips inside, which was exactly the purpose of his trip.

At this time, the old lady was not asleep in the room. She sat by the bed, holding a rosary in her hand, with deep eyes, as if thinking about some profound problem. She suddenly stood up, walked to the window, looked at the deep night outside the window, and prayed silently in her heart that Jiang Jilian would be safe.

"Lian'er, you must be careful."

Jiang Jilian searched carefully in the storeroom, and suddenly, his eyes fell on a seemingly ordinary scroll. On the cover of the scroll were written the words "Secret Records of Zhenxing Marquis' Mansion". He was moved and slowly unfolded the scroll. The scroll recorded the secrets passed down from generation to generation in Zhenxing Marquis' Mansion, including the whereabouts of the military token.

Jiang Jilian held his breath, a flash of shock in his eyes. He didn't expect that the military talisman was hidden in such an inconspicuous place. He carefully put away the scroll and prepared to report to the old lady immediately.

Back in the old lady's room, Jiang Jilian presented the scroll. The old lady took the scroll, examined it carefully, and revealed a trace of satisfaction in her eyes: "Lian'er, you did a good job. This military token is the treasure of our Zhenxing Marquis Mansion, and it must not fall into the hands of others."

After hearing this, Jiang Jilian became more determined to protect the military talisman. He bowed to the old lady and said, "Grandma, I will protect this secret with my life and will never let down the trust of the Zhenxing Marquisate."

The old lady looked at Jiang Jilian with approval in her eyes. She gently patted Jiang Jilian on the shoulder and said, "Lian'er, you are the pride of our Zhenxing Marquisate. But you must remember that while guarding the military talisman, you must also protect yourself. People's hearts are unpredictable, and you must always be vigilant."

……

The next morning, Lu Yundi took Jiang Zihan directly back to Lu Mansion.

When they entered the gate of Lu's mansion, Mrs. Lu had been waiting at the door for a long time. When she saw her daughter and granddaughter coming back, she smiled and hurriedly came to greet them.

"Di'er, you're back! Come in quickly and let me see you." Mrs. Lu said as she looked at Lu Yundi and found that she looked haggard and her eyes were full of fatigue.

Lu Yundi smiled and replied, "Mother, I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm fine now, but there have been too many things going on in the mansion recently, and I'm a little tired."

As they were talking, the three of them came to the living room. After sitting down, Lu Yundi couldn't help but complain to his mother about a series of events that had happened in the Marquis' Mansion recently.

"Mother, this is my first time back home since I married into the Marquis' Mansion. Recently, the Marquis' Mansion has had financial problems, and I have to take care of the Mansion while managing the business. Last month, the Mansion caught fire twice, causing heavy losses. In addition, my sister Jiang Yuqi is marrying into the Ningguo Mansion, and there are a lot of trivial matters. It's really exhausting."

After hearing her daughter's complaint, Mrs. Lu showed a concerned expression on her face and gently patted Lu Yundi's hand: "Di'er, I know you are working hard, but you have to learn to adjust yourself. After all, you are the wife of the Marquis's Mansion and shoulder the honor of the family."

Lu Yundi sighed, her eyes revealing helplessness and fatigue: "Mother, I understand my responsibilities, but these things keep happening, and I really can't cope with them. Especially the two fires, I suspect someone did it on purpose, but I have no clues after investigating for a long time. How can I feel at ease?"

Madam Lu frowned and looked serious: "Di'er, what you said makes sense. If this matter is not handled properly, it will indeed affect the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion."
