Ye Wanxue was deeply moved and was about to throw herself into Jiang Jilian's arms, but was pushed away by Jiang Jilian.
"Wanxue, today is the day my grandmother is buried. I don't want anyone to catch me again."
"My Lord, I understand." Ye Wanxue lowered her head slightly, with a hint of firmness in her voice, "I will behave myself and will not cause you any more trouble."
Jiang Jilian looked at Ye Wanxue, with a complex emotion welling up in his heart.
His love for Ye Wanxue has brought her endless troubles and may even threaten her life. But he also knows that he can't give up on her and can't let her leave his side.
"Wanxue, I know you are a smart woman. I will give you some time to think carefully." There was a hint of tenderness in Jiang Jilian's voice.
The door of the study was gently pushed open and a figure walked in.
She is Jiang Jilian’s eldest daughter, Jiang Lili.
Jiang Lili looked at Jiang Jilian, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes: "Father, are you okay?"
Jiang Jilian nodded slightly and looked at Jiang Li, with a hint of relief in his eyes: "Li Li, you are here."
Jiang Lili walked to Jiang Jilian, sat down gently, and then looked at Jiang Jilian with a firm tone: "Father, I know your troubles and your love for Aunt Ye. But you can't ignore the family's reputation and mother's feelings."
Jiang Jilian looked at Jiang Lili, with mixed emotions welling up in his heart.
"Li Li, you are right." Jiang Jilian patted Jiang Li Li's hand gently, with a hint of firmness in his voice, "I will handle this matter well and will not let the family and your mother be harmed."
Jiang Lili looked at Jiang Jilian, a trace of gratitude flashing in her eyes: "Father, I believe in you."
Jiang Jilian looked at Ye Wanxue, with a hint of firmness in his tone: "Wanxue, I want to have a good talk with you."
Ye Wanxue nodded gently and looked at Jiang Jilian firmly: "My Lord, please speak."
Jiang Jilian took a deep breath and then spoke slowly: "Wanxue, I know you are a smart woman, and I also know your feelings for me. But I must tell you that the current situation is not favorable for us. The pressure from the family and the rumors from the outside world may affect our future."
"My Lord, I know." Ye Wanxue's voice was firm, "But I am willing to endure it all as long as I can stay by your side."
"Wanxue, the time I gave you is for you to think carefully about your future." Jiang Jilian's voice was firm, "I hope you can understand that staying in the Marquis' Mansion is not necessarily your best choice."
Ye Wanxue looked at Jiang Jilian, with a trace of pain in her eyes: "My Lord, I know. But I have decided that no matter what the future holds, I am willing to stay by your side."
Jiang Jilian sighed softly.
"Okay, Wanxue." Jiang Jilian patted Ye Wanxue's hand gently, "Since you have made up your mind, then do it according to your heart. But you must remember to protect yourself at all times."
Ye Wanxue looked at Jiang Jilian, her eyes full of gratitude: "My Lord, I will."
"Wanxue, you'd better live in the side courtyard for the time being to avoid causing unnecessary trouble." Jiang Jilian said slowly, with a hint of unquestionableness in his tone.
Ye Wanxue lowered her head slightly, a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure: "My Lord, I understand."
……
Jiang Jilian carefully prepared gifts, and when he went to Lu's house to find Lu Yundi, he couldn't get in the door and was told that Lu Yundi was not there.
Jiang Jilian looked at the two closed doors in front of the Lu Mansion, and a sense of helplessness surged in his heart. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then looked up at the servant at the door.
"Is the madam not at home?" Jiang Jilian asked, trying to keep his tone calm.
The servant shook his head and said expressionlessly: "Madam has already left, please go back, my lord."
Jiang Jilian frowned slightly, he understood that this meant Lu Yundi didn't want to see him.
The door slowly opened, and it was Mrs. Lu who came out.
"Mother, Yundi is not at home. Can I go in and wait for her?" Jiang Jilian asked with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Madam Lu shook her head slightly and said indifferently, "Ji Lian, Yun Di has already said that she doesn't want to see you. Please go back and don't disturb the peace of our house."
Jiang Jilian's face turned a little pale, and he understood what Mrs. Lu's words meant. His heart was full of guilt and helplessness, but he still tried to persuade Mrs. Lu.
"Mother, I know I made a mistake, but I really didn't mean to hurt Yundi. Please give me a chance to apologize to her and make up for my mistake." Jiang Ji Lian said sincerely, with tears in his eyes.
Madam Lu looked at Jiang Jilian, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. She sighed softly, and then slowly said: "Jilian, do you really think that an apology can make up for your mistakes? Your behavior with Ye Wanxue in front of the mourning hall has deeply hurt Yun Di's heart. She doesn't want to see you now, and I can't force her."
Jiang Jilian was silent, feeling deeply powerless.
"Mother, I know I was wrong, I really know it. I will prove it with my actions. I will change, and I will make Yundi accept me again." Jiang Jilian said firmly, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.
Madam Lu looked at Jiang Jilian and shook her head gently: "Jilian, you may not understand that Yundi's heart is dead. Her trust and love for you are gone. Do you really think you can save it?"
Jiang Jilian felt a sharp pain in his heart, but he was still unwilling to give up: "Mother, I will prove it with my actions. I will make Yundi believe in me again and love me again."
Mrs. Lu looked at Jiang Jilian, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. She sighed softly, and then said, "Jilian, I know your determination, but I hope you understand that some things are irreversible. What you should do now is to face your mistakes and protect the family's reputation."
"Mother, I will remember your teachings." Jiang Jilian's voice was low and hoarse, and his eyes revealed an unspeakable pain.
Mrs. Lu sighed softly. Jiang Jilian was a smart man, but sometimes his cleverness backfired. She looked at Jiang Jilian with a flash of sympathy in her eyes, but soon returned to indifference.
"Ji Lian, go back. Let Yun Di decide for herself. If you really want to make amends, treat the family well and don't bring shame to the family again." Although Mrs. Lu's words were cold, how could Jiang Ji Lian not hear the concern in them?
Jiang Jilian took a step back slowly, looked at Mrs. Lu deeply, then turned around and prepared to leave. Although his steps were heavy, his back was unusually firm.
"My lord, are you...are you leaving just like that?" The servant of the Lu Mansion looked at Jiang Jilian's back and couldn't help but ask.
