At the mourning hall, Jiang Jixin was still kneeling. Yu was nowhere to be seen at the table in the back hall. Lu Yundi was invited by Nanny Zheng to the mourning hall to take charge of the situation.
Madam Zheng gently patted Lu Yundi's shoulder and whispered, "Madam, all the affairs of the mansion depend on you now. The old lady has passed away, you must take charge of the overall situation and appease all relatives and friends."
Lu Yundi nodded slightly, her eyes swept over the relatives and friends in the mourning hall, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth to comfort them. She slowly walked to the center of the mourning hall and bowed to the relatives and friends: "Dear relatives and friends, I am deeply saddened by the passing of my mother. Here, on behalf of Ji Lian and the whole family, I would like to thank you all for coming to pay your respects. Please accept my condolences and send the old lady off together."
"Madam, you are becoming more and more like an old lady." Nanny Zheng praised in a low voice.
Lu Yundi smiled lightly, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, but she soon regained her composure: "Madam, you are too kind. I am just doing my best to relieve Ji Lian's worries."
The funeral continued, and relatives and friends came forward to express their condolences one by one. Lu Yundi always maintained a dignified smile and nodded from time to time to express her gratitude. However, she kept an eye on Madam Zheng from the corner of her eye and noticed that she was talking to several relatives and friends in a low voice from time to time with a serious expression.
"Madam, who are you talking to there?" Lu Yundi walked to Madam Zheng and asked softly.
"Madam, those are the old lady's distant relatives. They seem to have some doubts about the old lady's sudden passing." Nanny Zheng answered in a low voice, frowning.
Lu Yundi frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said to Madam Zheng: "Madam, please comfort them and tell them that everything will be arranged according to the old lady's wishes. I will watch here, and call me at any time if you need me."
Nanny Zheng took the order and left, while Lu Yundi stood in the center of the mourning hall, her eyes as sharp as a torch, unquestionable.
As the funeral progressed, the atmosphere in the mourning hall became increasingly heavy. Lu Yundi remained calm throughout. She talked with relatives and friends from time to time, comforted them, and also paid attention to the progress of Zheng Ma.
Soon, Madam Zheng came back and whispered to Lu Yundi, "Madam, I have appeased those distant relatives, and they no longer say anything. However, there seems to be something wrong with Master Jixin."
Lu Yundi nodded slightly. She had already noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Jixin. He had been kneeling in the corner of the mourning hall, expressionless and with empty eyes. She decided to go over and take a look.
"Jixin, are you okay?" Lu Yundi asked softly, his tone full of concern.
Jiang Jixin raised his head, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, but he quickly lowered his head again: "Madam, I'm fine."
Lu Yundi patted his shoulder gently, his eyes full of sympathy: "I know you are sad, but you have to be strong. The old lady is most worried about you."
Madam Zheng watched from the side, and she couldn't help but sigh with emotion. She remembered that when the old lady was still alive, she once said to her: "Madam, you see, Di'er will definitely become the pillar of our mansion in the future." Now it seems that the old lady's prediction has come true.
"Madam, you are so strong." Nanny Zheng couldn't help but admire.
Lu Yundi smiled gently, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Mammy, I am not only the wife of the Marquis's Mansion, but also the daughter-in-law of the Marquis's Mansion. At this moment, I must be strong."
"Madam, it's getting late and you're tired. Why don't you take a rest first?" Nanny Zheng consoled her softly, her eyes full of concern.
Lu Yundi nodded slightly. She was indeed tired, but her sense of responsibility and her concern for Jiang Jixin prevented her from leaving easily. She turned to Madam Zheng and said, "Madam, go and arrange for the servants to clean up the mourning hall. I will talk to Jixin for a while."
Nanny Zheng left in response, while Lu Yundi slowly walked to Jiang Jixin and patted him on the shoulder gently: "Jixin, the funeral is over, you can relax now."
Jiang Jixin raised his head, his eyes showing gratitude: "Madam, thank you."
Lu Yundi smiled gently, sat opposite Jiang Jixin, and said slowly: "Jixin, I know you have a lot to say in your heart, but at this time, what you need is quiet and rest."
Jiang Jixin nodded slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "Madam, I do have a lot to say, but I don't know where to start."
Lu Yundi looked at him affectionately: "Jixin, we are all a family. No matter what happens, we will be together and face it together."
At this time, Madam Zheng came in with the servants and began to clean up the mourning hall. Lu Yundi stood up and said to Jiang Jixin, "Jixin, I will go and arrange the funeral affairs first. You can rest here for a while."
......
Lu Yundi listened to Jiang Jilian's words and was sharp enough to catch a few points.
Jiang Jilian certainly would not allow Jiang Yuqi to divorce Song Mingxuan. After all, having a Ningguo Mansion as a relative would be beneficial to his career.
"Madam, I just went to the Ningguo Mansion. Song Mingxuan's attitude was very firm. He was unwilling to divorce Yuqi and hoped that we could let Yuqi go back as soon as possible." Jiang Jilian's voice was low, revealing a hint of helplessness.
Lu Yundi nodded slightly and sighed softly: "I know you have already expected such a result."
Jiang Jilian frowned and looked at Lu Yundi with a hint of doubt in his tone: "Madam, what do you think about this matter?"
Lu Yundi raised her head and looked at Jiang Jilian firmly: "Husband, tell me the truth, how much of your concern for Yuqi is real, and how much is for the benefit of the family?"
Jiang Jilian's eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't expect Lu Yundi to question him so directly. He was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Madam, I really care about Yuqi. But I must also consider the interests of the family."
Lu Yundi smiled gently, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes: "My husband, you don't have to explain. I understand that as a marquis, you naturally have to think about the future of the family. But Yuqi is your sister, isn't her happiness important?"
Jiang Jilian's eyes flashed with pain. He looked at Lu Yundi and said in a low voice, "Madam, I want to seek justice for Yuqi, but the Ningguo Mansion is not something we can easily provoke. Besides, divorce is not good for Yuqi's reputation."
Lu Yundi looked at Jiang Jilian coldly: "Husband, do you think Yuqi's life in Ningguo Mansion is more important than reputation?"
Jiang Jilian was silent for a moment, with a gleam of determination in his eyes: "Madam, you are right. Yuqi's happiness is more important than anything else. I will talk to Song Mingxuan again. No matter what, I must get Yuqi out of that sea of suffering."
Lu Yundi looked at Jiang Jilian with a touch of emotion in his eyes. Song Mingxuan was not a simple person. He had the support of the entire Ningguo Mansion behind him. "
Jiang Jilian nodded. He looked at Lu Yundi with gratitude in his eyes. "Madam, I know you have always cared about Yuqi, and I will never let her get hurt again. I will find a suitable opportunity to let Song Mingxuan know that what he did to Yuqi is something that we in Zhenxing Marquis Mansion cannot tolerate."
Lu Yundi sighed softly. She looked at the sky outside the window, was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Husband, do you know why I have always been so concerned about Yuqi's affairs?"
Jiang Jilian shook his head.
