Lu Yundi sneered. She looked at Ye Wanxue with a hint of indifference in her tone: "Ye Wanxue, do you think you can make me feel painful? Let me tell you, I don't care about the relationship between Jiang Jilian and me at all. I just want to give the children a warm home now."

Ye Wanxue's face darkened. She looked at Lu Yundi and suddenly raised her voice: "Sister Lu, don't think you can escape the Marquis's control like this. I tell you, he won't let you go."

"Jiang Jilian, why isn't your wife Lu Yundi here? People say you're having an affair with someone and your wife is angry and left?"

The person who was talking to Jiang Jilian was the elder of the Jiang family, who was questioning Jiang Jilian in the ancestral hall of the Jiang family.

"Elder, things are not as outsiders say." Jiang Jilian tried to explain, but his voice seemed insignificant in the ancestral hall.

The elder snorted coldly and interrupted him: "Ji Lian, don't you understand? The family's reputation is more important than anything else. If you do this, you will not only lose face for yourself, but also bring shame to the entire Jiang family! You must handle the matter properly and invite Lu Yundi back, otherwise how can you face your ancestors?"

Jiang Jilian had a complicated expression. He lowered his head slightly, was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Elder, I admit that I was negligent in handling this matter, but things are not as outsiders think."

"You still dare to quibble!" another elder shouted angrily, his beard trembling, and he seemed extremely excited. "Your behavior with Ye Wanxue in front of the mourning hall has spread throughout the entire Houfu area. Where can we put the face of our Jiang family?"

Jiang Jilian's face turned pale, and he felt powerless, but he still tried to explain: "Elder, it was just a misunderstanding, Miss Ye..."

"Misunderstanding?" The elder interrupted him, a trace of anger flashing in his eyes, "Do you think we are all blind? Aren't you and Ye Wanxue's behavior blatantly challenging the rules of the family?"

Jiang Jilian was silent, feeling deeply guilty.

Seeing that Jiang Jilian stopped making excuses, the elders softened their tone. One of the elders sighed and said earnestly, "Jilian, you are the eldest grandson of our Jiang family. Your behavior represents the entire family. There are rumors flying everywhere. You must deal with this matter as soon as possible and invite Lu Yundi back. Otherwise, the reputation of our Jiang family will suffer irreparable damage."

Jiang Jilian nodded, his eyes flashing with determination: "Elder, I will handle the matter as soon as possible and invite Madam back."

The elders looked at each other, and one of them said, "Ji Lian, you must not only invite your wife back as soon as possible, but also reflect on your actions within the family. At the same time, you must strengthen the control over Ye Wanxue and not let her do whatever she wants in the mansion."

Jiang Jilian nodded again: "I will follow the instructions of the elders and severely punish Ye Wanxue."

"Ji Lian, I'm glad you understand." The elders nodded one after another, with a hint of expectation in their tone, "The honor of the family is not just your business, but the business of all of us. You must act as soon as possible and not let outsiders point fingers at our Jiang family."

Jiang Jilian bowed deeply to show that he had taken it to heart. He raised his head, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "Don't worry, elders, I will definitely handle the matter as soon as possible."

Jiang Jilian left the ancestral hall and walked back to his study with heavy steps. He sat in front of the desk, clasped his hands tightly together, and looked solemn.

"My lord, you're back." The servant outside the study walked in and asked cautiously.

Jiang Jilian raised his head and looked at the attendant, a trace of fatigue flashed in his eyes: "Well, I'm back. Go and get ready, I have to go to Lu's mansion."

The attendant was slightly stunned, then nodded and turned to prepare.

Jiang Jilian stood in front of the study window, looking at the sky outside, his heart full of contradictions and struggles.

Soon after, the servant came in and reported: "My lord, the carriage is ready."

Jiang Jilian nodded, turned and left the study.

In front of the Lu Mansion, Jiang Jilian got off the car, straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and then walked into the mansion. The mansion was full of flowers and trees, pavilions and towers were scattered in an orderly manner, and it was a scene of tranquility and peace.

After passing through the front hall, Jiang Jilian came to the inner courtyard. At this time, the afternoon sun was at its warmest, and the flowers in the courtyard were in full bloom, with a fragrant aroma. He saw his wife Lu Yundi talking with his mother, Mrs. Lu, in the courtyard from a distance, and their laughter could be heard from far away.

Jiang Jilian smiled slightly and quickened his pace. When he walked into the yard, Lu Yundi and Mrs. Lu looked at him at the same time. Lu Yundi's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, while Mrs. Lu smiled faintly with a bit of scrutiny in her eyes.

"My husband is back." Lu Yundi stepped forward and said softly.

"Well, things are almost done. Thank you for your hard work during this period." Jiang Jilian patted his wife's hand gently, then turned to Mrs. Lu and bowed respectfully, "Mother, your son is back."

Madam Lu nodded slightly, with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes: "It's good to be back. You don't have to worry too much about things outside, and you have to take care of things at home."

Jiang Jilian responded respectfully, and then the three of them sat down in the yard and began to chat.

"Mom, have you been in good health recently?" Jiang Jilian asked with concern.

"Not bad, except that the weather is changeable and I have a cough." Mrs. Lu said lightly.

"Mother, please take care of yourself. If your cough gets worse, tell the servants in time and don't try to hold on," Jiang Jilian warned.

Mrs. Lu smiled slightly, with a hint of pampering in her eyes: "I know, you don't have to worry."

Lu Yundi looked at her husband with a trace of worry in her eyes: "Husband, you have worked hard during this period. You should make sure to rest."

"It's okay, I'm young and can hold on." Jiang Jilian comforted his wife with a smile.

At this time, the servant came over and reported: "My Lord, the dinner is ready."

Jiang Jilian stood up and said to his wife and mother, "Let's go in first."

The dinner was held in the flower hall, with rich dishes and fragrant wine. Jiang Jilian sat in the main seat, and Mrs. Lu and Lu Yundi sat on both sides. The three of them ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"Mother, please try this braised pork, it tastes good." Jiang Ji Lian picked up a piece of meat and put it in Mrs. Lu's bowl.

Mrs. Lu smiled slightly: "It tastes really good. Are you used to eating it outside?"

"The food outside can't compare to the food at home." Jiang Jilian said with a smile.

Looking at her husband, her eyes were full of tenderness: "Husband, you should also try this dish. I prepared it specially for you."

Jiang Jilian took a bite of the dish and put it into his mouth, praising it highly: "Yun Di, your cooking skills are getting better and better."

It was late at night, and the moonlight sprinkled in the yard, making it seem particularly peaceful. Jiang Jilian and Lu Yundi accompanied Mrs. Lu for a walk, and the three of them chatted while walking, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

"Mother, don't worry, I will take good care of Yundi and the children." Jiang Jilian said affectionately.

Mrs. Lu nodded slightly, her eyes full of relief: "I'm relieved, you have always been my pride."
