Jiang Jilian nodded slightly, then turned to Lu Yundi: "Yundi, don't worry, I will take care of the affairs in the mansion. You and the children can stay in Gao's mansion for a while, which is a good opportunity to relax."

Jiang Jilian's words were full of determination and warmth. After hearing this, Lu Yundi's eyes flashed with gratitude, but she was still a little hesitant: "Jilian, the affairs of the mansion are busy, how can you handle it alone?"

Jiang Jilian smiled slightly and gently held Lu Yundi's hand: "Yundi, you forgot that I have so many reliable housekeepers and servants around me. Moreover, I have your concern, which makes me more confident. You go to Gao Mansion to stay for a while, firstly for the children, and secondly so that I can concentrate on handling the affairs of the mansion."

Lu Yundi smiled with relief when she heard this, but she was still worried: "Then...what about the safety of the mansion?"

Jiang Jilian's eyes were firm and his tone was serious: "Don't worry, I have already ordered my servants to strengthen the security of the mansion. In addition, I will send a team of elite soldiers to protect you secretly."

After hearing this, Lu Yundi felt relieved. She sighed softly, "Ji Lian, you are always so considerate. I really rely on you more and more."

Jiang Jilian's eyes flashed with pride, and he gently patted Lu Yundi on the shoulder: "This shows that you have found a good husband."

The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere became warm and harmonious.

At this time, the maid Hongying came in, holding a plate of freshly stewed bird's nest in her hand, and placed it carefully on the table.

"My Lord, Madam, this is the bird's nest that has just been stewed. Please enjoy it slowly." Hongying said in a low voice.

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, expressing her gratitude for Hongying's careful care. She picked up the spoon, scooped a mouthful of bird's nest and handed it to Jiang Jilian: "Jilian, you have worked hard too, drink some bird's nest to replenish your body."

Jiang Jilian took it with a smile and chatted with Lu Yundi about family matters while tasting the bird's nest.

Jiang Jilian suddenly said, "Yun Di, do you know? I have always wanted to take you to a place."

Lu Yundi looked at him curiously: "Where?"

Jiang Jilian smiled mysteriously: "When you come back, I'll take you there."

A glimmer of anticipation flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes, and she snuggled in Jiang Jilian's arms with a smile.

……

When Lu Yundi was invited to the front yard, Jiang Yuqi was already crying in Yu's arms, loudly accusing her husband, Song Mingxuan, the son of Ningguo Duke, of his evil deeds.

"Mother, I...my life in the Ningguo Mansion was simply not a living standard for a human being." Jiang Yuqi sobbed and spoke intermittently.

Lu Yundi sat aside, frowning, with deep worry in her eyes. She gently patted Jiang Yuqi's hand and comforted her softly: "Yuqi, talk slowly, don't get excited, mother and sister are here, we will make the decision for you."

Yu stroked Jiang Yuqi's hair distressedly, with angry fire flashing in her eyes. She said coldly: "Song Mingxuan, how dare he do this to you? We in Zhenxing Marquis Mansion are not easy to bully."

Jiang Yuqi raised her head, tears glistening in her eyes. She bit her lip, took a deep breath, and began to talk about her days in Ningguo Mansion.

"When I first got married, Song Mingxuan treated me very well. He always said sweet words to me and took me to travel. I thought I had found a husband who truly loved me." Jiang Yuqi's voice gradually became low. She shook her head gently and continued, "But the good times didn't last long. Not long after, his attitude took a sharp turn for the worse."

A trace of pain flashed in Jiang Yuqi's eyes, and she clenched her fists tightly, as if recalling those unbearable days.

"He started staying out all night, and the servants in the mansion looked down on me, thinking I was an outsider and unworthy of respect. I had to endure their sarcasm every day and pretend nothing happened so as not to worry my mother and sister."

Lu Yundi's heart felt like it was pierced by a needle. She held Jiang Yuqi's hand tightly and said softly, "Yuqi, you have suffered."

Yu's face became even gloomier, and she said coldly: "On a day like this, why don't you come back earlier and tell us?"

Jiang Yuqi's tears welled up in her eyes again. She lowered her head, her voice trembling a little: "I don't want to worry my mother and sister. I thought I could bear it, but...but Song Mingxuan...he actually suspected me, suspected that I betrayed him."

At this point, Jiang Yuqi's emotions completely broke down. She burst into tears, and her tears soaked Yu's clothes.

"He sent people to monitor me, and even put me under house arrest in another courtyard without my knowledge. I stayed there every day, looking at the sky and praying that someone would come to save me. I really don't want to recall those days."

Yu's face turned pale. She held Jiang Yuqi's hand tightly and said firmly, "Yuqi, don't worry. Sister and I will seek justice for you."

A trace of determination flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes. She looked at Jiang Yuqi and said softly, "Yuqi, do you know? In fact, before you married Song Mingxuan, I knew that he was not a reliable person. When he married into our family, I don't know why he valued our mansion."

Jiang Yuqi raised her head, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She looked at Lu Yundi, as if she didn't expect her to say that.

"Sister-in-law, why didn't you tell me?"

Lu Yundi smiled gently, but there was a hint of bitterness in his eyes: "On the one hand, I thought that the Ningguo Mansion really wanted to form an alliance with our Marquis Mansion this time. On the other hand, our finances had already begun to suffer losses, and we really needed their help."

"I know that the interests of the family are always higher than personal happiness." Jiang Yuqi's voice was low and bitter, "But I didn't expect that I would become a victim."

Yu hugged Jiang Yuqi tightly, her eyes full of guilt: "Yuqi, it is your mother who is sorry for you. I didn't stop this marriage at the beginning, and you suffered so much injustice."

"If you leave the Ningguo Mansion, Yuqi, you will be an abandoned woman. Who can you marry in the future?" Lu Yundi's words left Jiang Yuqi speechless.

Jiang Yuqi's eyes flashed with confusion. She looked at Lu Yundi with trembling lips: "So what if I'm an abandoned woman? It's better than being tortured in that mansion. I can't let myself live in such pain anymore."

Lu Yundi sighed. He could understand Yuqi's pain, but he also had to consider the reality: "Yuqi, I know you are suffering, but we can't ignore the reputation and status of our Zhenxing Marquisate. If you divorce, not only you, but the entire Marquisate will be implicated."

Yu's face turned serious, and she slowly said, "Yuqi, sister is right. Have you ever thought about the consequences of divorce? You are a woman, and you will have to rely on your husband in the future. If your reputation is ruined, how can we rest assured about you?"

Jiang Yuqi bit her lips tightly, tears welling up in her eyes again. She took a deep breath, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "I know the consequences of divorce, but I can't stand that kind of life anymore. I would rather be an abandoned woman than be humiliated in that mansion again."

Lu Yundi felt distressed when she saw the look in Jiang Yuqi's eyes.

She pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Yuqi, if you really decide, we will not stop you. However, you must have a foolproof plan to ensure your safety and the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion."
