A complicated look flashed across Chu Qirui's face, and he sighed deeply: "I'm afraid this matter will bring a lot of trouble to the Jiang family and the Lu family."

The servant nodded in agreement: "Yes, young master. Now the whole mansion is discussing this matter, and many people are speculating on how the Jiang and Lu families will deal with this matter."

"How do you think Lu Yundi will handle this matter?" Chu Qirui suddenly asked, with a hint of depth in his voice.

The servant thought for a moment, then replied: "Madam is a person of strong character, she will not give up her dignity easily. Young Marquis, I think she may choose to divorce and then return to the Lu family with the children."

"Do you think Jiang Jilian will agree to divorce?" Chu Qirui asked again, his eyes sharp, as if he could see through this complicated situation.

The servant thought for a moment, then replied, "Although Jiang Jilian owes Madam something, he is a selfish man and I'm afraid he won't let it go easily. If Madam wants to divorce, I'm afraid there will be a dispute."

Chu Qirui sneered: "Selfish people always fail to see the pain of others. I want to see how this matter ends."

Chu Qirui's face gradually became solemn, and his eyes revealed a subtle worry. He pondered for a moment, then instructed the servant: "Go and find out what's going on at the Jiang family, and report to me at any time."

Soon, the servant came back and brought the latest news: "Young Marquis, the Jiang family doesn't seem to be willing to compromise. They are still trying to persuade Madam Lu to give up the idea of ​​divorce."

Chu Qirui snorted coldly: "They are courting their own destruction. I also know Lu Yundi's character. Once she makes a decision, she will not change it easily."

The servant nodded: "Yes, young master. Moreover, Madam Lu seems to have made full preparations. She plans to bring the children back to the Lu family and start a new life."

Soon, the night deepened, the lights in the Chongren Marquis's mansion were bright, and the young Marquis Chu Qirui sat alone in the study, his face gloomy. The servant walked in cautiously and reported in a low voice: "Young Marquis, the people from the Jiang family are here again. This time they seem more determined and even threaten to sue Madam Lu."

Chu Qirui's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he sneered: "Threatening me? They really don't know their own limitations."

The servant licked his lips, hesitating to speak. Chu Qirui saw his hesitation and asked calmly, "What else?"

The servant gritted his teeth and finally spoke: "Young Marquis, the servants in the mansion are all talking about... saying that you are too cold to Madam Lu. Is this true?"

Chu Qirui frowned, a trace of displeasure flashed across his face: "Nonsense! How can these servants comment on the relationship between me and Madam Lu?"

The servant lowered his head quickly, not daring to say anything more. Chu Qirui stood up, walked to the window, looked at the night outside, was silent for a moment, suddenly turned his head and said to the servant: "Go, call the housekeeper in the mansion."

After a while, the butler came hurriedly with a flattering smile on his face: "Young Marquis, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Chu Qirui looked at him calmly, "What do you think about the threat from the Jiang family?"

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and then answered cautiously: "Young Marquis, although the Jiang family is powerful, our Chongren Marquisate is not to be trifled with. In my opinion, we might as well leave them alone first to let them know how powerful we are."

Chu Qirui nodded slightly, indicating his agreement: "That's right. However, I have one more thing for you to do."

The butler immediately responded and listened respectfully.

Chu Qirui said: "Starting tomorrow, we will strengthen the management of the mansion. Any gossip about Madam Lu must be severely punished. At the same time, we must increase our care for the Lu family and not let down our guard."

A hint of surprise flashed across the butler's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and replied, "Don't worry, young marquis. I will do as you say."

Back in the study, Chu Qirui sat down and closed his eyes in deep thought. At this time, a servant came in with a letter in his hand and whispered, "Young Marquis, this is a letter from Madam Lu to you."

Chu Qirui took the letter and opened it. In the letter, Mrs. Lu wrote in beautiful handwriting and in a firm tone, saying that she would never give up the idea of ​​divorce. After reading the letter, Chu Qirui's face flashed with a complex emotion, both disappointed and helpless.

He put the letter down and said to the servant, "Go tell Madam Lu that I agree to her divorce."

The servant was stunned. He didn't expect the young marquis to make such a decision. He asked hurriedly, "Young marquis, have you really decided?"

Chu Qirui looked at him calmly: "I have made my decision, you just need to convey my meaning."

The servant hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking: "Young Marquis, do you have a misunderstanding about Madam Lu? In fact, she..."

Chu Qirui interrupted him: "There is no misunderstanding. The relationship between me and Mrs. Lu has come to an end. You go."

The servant had no choice but to leave the study.

The next day, everyone in the Chongren Marquis's mansion knew that the young marquis had agreed to let Madam Lu leave the mansion. The servants in the mansion were talking about it, some sympathized with Madam Lu, some blamed Chu Qirui, in short, the atmosphere became extremely tense.

Chu Qirui sat in the study, facing the desk full of documents, but his heart was at a loss. He didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong, but he knew that he couldn't drag down Mrs. Lu anymore, she deserved a better life.

At this moment, a servant came running in, looking panicked: "Young Marquis, this is bad! The Jiang family has brought people into the Marquis's mansion, and they are looking for Madam Lu!"

Chu Qirui's face changed, and he immediately stood up and said coldly: "They dared to act wildly in the Chongren Marquis' Mansion, they are looking for death!"

He rushed out of the study with his servants and met the Jiang family. The two sides confronted each other and the atmosphere was tense.

Chu Qirui's eyes were as cold as ice, and they met the eyes of the Jiang family. There was a lot of gunpowder between them. Behind him, the servants of Chongren Marquis's Mansion looked nervous, but they all stood closely behind the young marquis, showing their absolute loyalty to Chu Qirui.

"Young Marquis, what should we do?" A young servant in green asked cautiously with a trace of worry in his eyes.

Chu Qirui frowned and glanced at him coldly: "Why are you panicking? They are just a few clowns from the Jiang family. Let me tell you, if anyone dares to hurt Madam Lu today, I, Chu Qirui, will be the first one to not let him go!"

When the servants heard this, their morale was boosted. They all straightened their backs and looked determined.

The leader of the Jiang family, a middle-aged man, widened his eyes and said angrily: "Chu Qirui, are you going to be an enemy of our Jiang family? Madam Lu is the elder of our family, we have the right to take her away."

Chu Qirui sneered, his eyes like knives: "Power? Do you think this is your Jiang family's territory? In Chongren Marquis Mansion, I have the final say. Today, you either get out of the mansion immediately, or stay and try my methods."

The atmosphere between the two sides became increasingly tense, and the servants clenched their fists nervously, ready to take action at any time.
