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

When Mrs. Yu heard this, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes. She gently patted Jiang Jilian's hand and said, "Lian'er, you are a good child. Mother is really relieved. The most important thing now is that we have to hold a grand funeral for the old lady so that she can die in peace."

Jiang Jilian nodded, turned around and shouted to the servant outside: "Go and inform the elders in the family and ask them to come over to discuss the funeral arrangements for the old lady."

The servant took the order and left. Jiang Jilian turned back to his mother, wiped the tears from her face, and said softly, "Mother, don't worry. I will personally take care of the old lady's funeral and let her pass away in a dignified manner so that you can rest assured."

Yu nodded slightly, a trace of fatigue in her eyes. She leaned gently into Jiang Jilian's arms and said softly, "Lian'er, mother is really tired. Can you stay with mother for a while?"

Jiang Jilian felt his mother's dependence on him, and a warm current surged in his heart. He gently patted his mother's back and said softly, "Of course, mother, you can take a rest for a while, I'll be here with you."

Yu spoke slowly, her voice a little hoarse: "Lian'er, you know, the old lady always hoped that you could become a wise ruler, a marquis who could bring honor to the family. You were the one she was most worried about during her lifetime."

Jiang Jilian's heart ached, he looked up at his mother, a gleam of determination flashed in his eyes: "Mother, I will remember the old lady's teachings and live up to her expectations. I will work hard to become a virtuous and talented marquis and bring honor to the Zhenxing Marquisate."

Yu smiled slightly, with a gratified look in her eyes: "Lian'er, mother believes you can do it. However, you must remember that being a good marquis is not only about bringing honor to the family, but more importantly, it is about caring for the people and speaking for them."

Jiang Jilian nodded solemnly: "Mother, I will always remember this in my heart. The old lady has devoted her life to the people. Her kindness and wisdom will be my lifelong role model."

She said softly, "Lian'er, I am really pleased. I am relieved that you have this heart."

Jiang Jilian gently stroked his mother's back and said softly, "Mother, don't worry, I will do my best to make Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion more prosperous."

......

Yu and the guests who came to pay their respects to the old lady held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes, crying very sadly.

Lu Yundi knelt down at the foot of Jiang Jilian in mourning clothes, glancing at the guests coming and going.

Jiang Jilian stood in front of the coffin, his face sad. His eyes swept over Lu Yundi from time to time, but he quickly looked away each time, as if he didn't know how to face her. He whispered to the servant beside him: "Go, prepare some tea, so that the guests can rest for a while."

The servant took the order and left. Jiang Jilian turned to Lu Yundi and said, "Yundi, you've worked hard too. Go and have a rest." There was a hint of concern in his tone, but Lu Yundi did not respond. She just nodded slightly, and a barely perceptible hint of alienation flashed in her eyes.

The funeral was in full swing, with guests coming forward to pay their respects, either offering words of condolence or expressing their grief with tears in their eyes. Yu and Jiang Jilian took turns receiving the guests, while Lu Yundi knelt quietly on the side, as if she had become a silent bystander.

As the funeral progressed, night gradually fell. Jiang Jilian looked at the sky and said to Lu Yundi, "It's late, you should go back to your room and rest, I'll take care of it here." Lu Yundi still didn't say anything, but slowly stood up, bowed to Jiang Jilian, and then turned and left.

Jiang Jilian pushed the door open and walked in. He was dressed in plain clothes and looked tired, but his eyes showed a hint of determination. He looked at Lu Yundi and moved his lips slightly, but he didn't know how to speak.

Lu Yundi turned his head and looked at Jiang Jilian calmly: "My Lord, what can I do for you?"

Jiang Jilian sighed softly, sat opposite Lu Yundi, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and said slowly: "Yundi, I know you have suffered a lot during this period of time, I... I am really sorry."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, but a hint of bitterness flashed in his eyes: "My Lord, you don't have to apologize. This is all my own choice, I don't blame you."

Jiang Jilian struggled in his heart. He held Lu Yundi's hand, his eyes full of pleading: "Yundi, I know I'm not good enough for you, but I really care about you. Are you willing to give me a chance to make up for my past mistakes?"

Lu Yundi gently pulled back her hand. She looked at Jiang Jilian with a look of determination in her eyes: "My Lord, I know what you mean, but I have made up my mind. I can't go back to the Marquis' Mansion that suffocates me. I need freedom and a space to breathe."

Jiang Jilian's face became solemn. He stared at Lu Yundi closely: "Yundi, are you really willing to give up everything just for the so-called freedom? Have you ever thought about the children? What they need is a complete family."

A trace of pain flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes, but she quickly strengthened her determination: "My Lord, what the children need more is a mother who loves them, not a mother who lives in pain every day. I believe that even if I am not in the Marquis' Mansion, I can give them a warm home."

Jiang Jilian looked at Lu Yundi in disbelief. He clenched his fists, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes: "Yundi, are you forcing me? Do you know what you are saying? You are giving up our marriage and our family."

Lu Yundi bit her lip lightly, tears welling up in her eyes: "My Lord, I know that what I am doing is a betrayal to the family, but I really can't continue living like this. What I need is someone who can understand me and care about me."

Jiang Jilian's heart was filled with helplessness and pain. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Yun Di, you are forcing me to make a choice. You should know that I am not a heartless person. I also want to give you happiness."

Lu Yundi shook his head gently: "My Lord, I know what you mean, but I really don't want to continue living like this. Every day I stay in the mansion, I endure your indifference and neglect. I'm tired, and I really don't want to continue living like this."

Jiang Jilian's expression suddenly became complicated. He looked at Lu Yundi, and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes. He slowly stood up and said, "Yundi, think about it carefully. I'll give you some time."

......

"Oh no! Young Master Yinli has fainted!" Before Lu Yundi had walked far, he heard the news coming from the mourning hall.

"Quick, call the Feng family doctor!" Lu Yundi anxiously ordered the servants, and squatted down to check on Jiang Yinli's condition. She gently placed her hand on Jiang Yinli's forehead, feeling the heat of his body temperature, and became even more anxious.

Jiang Jilian also heard the news, and he rushed over. Seeing Lu Yundi's worried expression, he felt a pang in his heart. He squatted down and checked on Jiang Yinli's condition with Lu Yundi.

"Yundi, don't worry, the Feng family doctor will be here soon." Jiang Jilian comforted her, his hand gently holding Lu Yundi's shoulder, his eyes full of concern.
