All the people in the Hou Mansion are evil, and they will be repaid tenfold after rebirth
Chapter 145 Distant Cousin
Lu Yundi smiled slightly and nodded, but didn't say much.
Chu Qirui sat opposite Jiang Yuqi, trying to look calm: "Yuqi, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Jiang Yuqi lowered her head slightly, a blush on her face: "I heard that you were in the restaurant, so I came to see you. You know, because of the marriage with the Ningguo Mansion, I don't have time to disturb you."
Chu Qirui smiled softly. He naturally knew what Jiang Yuqi was thinking, but he couldn't let her know about the military token now. He turned to Lu Yundi and coughed softly, suggesting that she help to smooth things over.
Lu Yundi immediately understood Chu Qirui's intention. She smiled gently and said to Jiang Yuqi, "Sister Yuqi, you came at the right time. Young Marquis Chu and I were discussing some trivial matters. Now that you are here, we can chat together."
Jiang Yuqi nodded and sat down with a smile. However, her eyes involuntarily drifted towards Chu Qirui, and she seemed to be more concerned about his affairs.
Chu Qirui smiled slightly. He had to change the subject at this time, so he said, "Yuqi, is there anything new in the mansion recently?"
Jiang Yuqi was slightly stunned, then replied: "Nothing, it's just that the warehouse was stolen a few days ago, which made everyone very uneasy."
Chu Qirui's eyes flashed, this is an opportunity, so he said: "Yes, the theft of the warehouse is indeed worrying. However, I heard that Madam has found some clues, I wonder if it is true?"
Lu Yundi smiled slightly and continued, "Yes, I did find some clues. However, I am still unable to determine who is behind this. I have asked my servants to strengthen the defenses in the mansion and are also investigating the matter."
When Jiang Yuqi heard this, a hint of curiosity flashed across her eyes. She looked at Lu Yundi and asked, "Sister, do you really have any clues? Can you tell me?"
Lu Yundi smiled slightly and shook his head: "Sister Yuqi, this matter involves the safety of the mansion, I can't tell you now. But don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter and find the real murderer for the mansion."
When Jiang Yuqi heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
What Lu Yundi said was true. Since the safety of the mansion was involved, he naturally could not reveal any clues easily.
Chu Qirui looked at Jiang Yuqi's expression and couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
Jiang Yuqi has a good impression of him, but he cannot let her know about the military token now, so as not to put her in danger.
At this time, footsteps were heard outside the restaurant, and a man who looked like a guard came in, went straight to Lu Yundi, and whispered a few words. After listening, Lu Yundi frowned slightly, and then said to Chu Qirui and Jiang Yuqi: "There are some things that need to be dealt with, I have to leave for a while."
Chu Qirui and Jiang Yuqi nodded, and Lu Yundi got up and left the restaurant.
Chu Qirui looked at Lu Yundi's back and couldn't help feeling a little worried.
In the restaurant, only Chu Qirui and Jiang Yuqi were left. Chu Qirui looked at Jiang Yuqi and couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.
Jiang Yuqi looked at Chu Qirui and seemed to see his hesitation. She smiled gently and said, "Young Marquis Chu, I know you have something on your mind, but I don't care. As long as I can be with you, I am willing to do it no matter what happens."
Chu Qirui's heart moved, but he still shook his head firmly: "Yuqi, you misunderstood. I do have some things to deal with, but it has nothing to do with feelings. I hope you can understand."
A trace of disappointment flashed across Jiang Yuqi's eyes, but she soon regained her composure. She smiled and nodded: "I understand, Young Lord Chu. I'll take my leave." Jiang Yuqi thought Chu Qirui didn't want to see her.
Chu Qirui looked at Jiang Yuqi's back and couldn't help feeling moved.
Not long after, Lu Yundi returned to the restaurant. She looked at Chu Qirui, smiled slightly, and said, "The matter has been dealt with, let's continue."
Chu Qirui nodded, and the two sat down again. Lu Yundi looked at Chu Qirui and said, "Young Marquis Chu, I think we should act as soon as possible to deal with the matter of the military token. After all, this is related to the safety of the Western Wei Dynasty, and we cannot take it lightly."
Chu Qirui nodded slightly and said, "I agree. However, we need a foolproof plan to ensure the safety of the military token and Jiang Yuqi's safety at the same time."
Lu Yundi's eyes flashed with approval when she heard this. She smiled slightly and said softly, "Young Marquis, you are very thoughtful. I am indeed a little too impatient. So, what are your plans?"
Chu Qirui gently stroked the jade pendant on the table, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "First, we need to find out where Jiang Yuqi is now. If she is in Chongren Marquis Mansion, we can protect her secretly; if she is somewhere else, we need to make different plans."
Lu Yundi nodded slightly and said, "I understand. So, how should we act?"
Chu Qirui's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he said, "Madam, who do you think is the most suitable person to send to get the information?"
Lu Yundi thought for a moment and said, "I think it is most appropriate to hand this matter over to Butler Xu. He is familiar with the layout of the Chongren Marquis's Mansion and is also good at intelligence gathering. He should be able to handle it."
Chu Qirui smiled slightly and said, "Madam is indeed very good at judging people. It's settled then. I'll send someone to inform Butler Xu immediately."
After the two finished discussing, Chu Qirui suddenly said, "However, we still need a bait to lure out those who are not good for us."
Lu Yundi frowned and said with some concern: "Young Marquis, this bait...is it too dangerous?"
Chu Qirui looked at Lu Yundi with a firm gaze: "Madam, we are already at the forefront of the storm, there is no way out. We must use this bait. Besides, I have a suitable candidate."
Lu Yundi looked at Chu Qirui in confusion: "The right person? Could it be you, young marquis?"
Chu Qirui shook his head slightly and said, "No, it's a distant cousin of mine named Chu Yi. He is smart and resourceful, and good at adapting. I believe he can handle this task."
After hearing this, Lu Yundi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Since it is someone the young marquis trusts, then I feel relieved. However, we still need to make a detailed plan."
Chu Qirui nodded slightly and said, "Madam is right. Next, let's discuss this plan in detail."
Chu Qirui looked at Lu Yundi and said, "Madam, the success of this plan depends on your support. I believe that as long as we work together, we will succeed."
A trace of determination flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes, and he smiled and said, "Don't worry, young marquis, I will definitely do my best. For the safety of Western Wei, we must succeed."
After saying that, the two smiled at each other, and the tacit understanding between them became deeper and deeper.
The next day, housekeeper Xu brought back news that Jiang Yuqi was indeed in Chongrenhou Mansion. Chu Qirui immediately arranged for Chu Yi to go to Chongrenhou Mansion to secretly protect Jiang Yuqi.
Chu Qirui and Lu Yundi were in the Mansion of Marquis Zhenxing, closely following the movements of the Mansion of Marquis Chongren.
