Lu Yundi turned her head and looked at the twinkling stars in the night sky. She was silent for a moment, then said, "Cousin, I want to know how much you know about Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion?"
Yan Qingyu smiled slightly, with a sharp look in his eyes: "Zhenxing Marquis Mansion? The power of Zhenxing Marquis Mansion is complicated, and there is no simple role in the mansion. However, over the years, I have been secretly investigating and I know the internal situation of Zhenxing Marquis Mansion very well."
A hint of surprise flashed across Lu Yundi's eyes: "Cousin, you actually investigated the Zhenxing Marquis' Mansion?"
Yan Qingyu nodded: "Yes, I have been paying attention to the movements of Zhenxing Marquis Mansion. Not only because of Zi Han, but also because of the owner of Zhenxing Marquis Mansion, Jiang Jilian. He is ambitious. If he succeeds, I am afraid that the whole capital will not be at peace."
Lu Yundi took a deep breath, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "Cousin, then we should act as soon as possible."
Yan Qingyu nodded: "I will let Ah Zhu accompany you to the Zhenxing Marquis Mansion. She is familiar with the situation in the Zhenxing Marquis Mansion and can provide you with help when necessary. However, before that, I want to remind you that there are many traps in the Zhenxing Marquis Mansion, and you must be careful."
Lu Yundi smiled slightly: "Cousin, I know my situation, I will be careful."
Suddenly, Ah Zhu said softly, "Madam, look, who is that?"
Lu Yundi and Yan Qingyu followed Ah Zhu's gaze and saw a figure slowly approaching. That person was the steward of the Zhenxing Marquis Mansion. There was a trace of anxiety on his face, as if he had something important to report.
The butler walked up to the three of them and bowed, "Madam, the Marquis is back. He is waiting in the study. It seems that he has something important to discuss."
Yan Qingyu frowned slightly: "Come back at this time, is there something wrong?"
The four of them returned to the study together and saw Jiang Jilian sitting at the desk. His face was pale and there was a hint of fatigue in his eyes.
"My Lord, you're back?" Yan Qingyu asked with concern.
Jiang Jilian nodded and said in a hoarse voice: "Yes, I just came back from the palace. The emperor suddenly summoned me to ask about the Chongren Marquis Mansion."
Lu Yundi was shocked. Her and Jiang Zihan's actions had attracted the emperor's attention.
"My Lord, how did you answer?" Yan Qingyu asked nervously.
Jiang Jilian smiled bitterly: "How can I answer? I can only tell the emperor that the power of Chongren Marquis Mansion is huge and cannot be easily shaken."
Yan Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, but then became nervous again: "What does the emperor say?"
Jiang Jilian shook his head: "The emperor did not make a clear statement, but just asked me to investigate secretly and not to act rashly."
Lu Yundi's heart tightened.
"My Lord, what should we do next?" Ah Zhu asked softly.
Jiang Jilian pondered for a moment, then said: "Next, we must be more careful and not let anyone know about our plan. At the same time, I want you to protect Zi Han. No matter what, don't let her get hurt."
Everyone agreed.
……
When he walked to the stern, Lu Yundi saw the so-called old friend. Jiang Jilian was standing at the bow, looking at him with a shy and wrinkled smile. Next to Jiang Jilian was Chu Qirui.
Why are these two people standing together? Lu Yundi was a little surprised.
Chu Qirui coughed lightly and broke the silence: "Madam, the Marquis is here."
Lu Yundi nodded slightly, but her eyes were always on Jiang Jilian. She looked at Jiang Jilian's fake smile and couldn't help but sneer in her heart. She said, "My Lord, this is your third visit. Yundi really doesn't know what you are doing."
The smile on Jiang Jilian's face froze for a moment, but he recovered quickly: "Madam, I was wrong in the past, but I really want to win back your heart. Please, for my deep affection for you, return to the Marquis' Mansion."
Lu Yundi smiled lightly, but his tone was as cold as ice: "My Lord, do you think this is possible? Ever since that incident, I have lost all hope in you. Please respect yourself."
Jiang Jilian coughed, trying to break the deadlock: "Madam, I heard that you have been getting close to the young marquis of Chongren Marquis's Mansion recently. Is it true?"
A trace of displeasure flashed across Lu Yundi's eyes. She looked at Jiang Jilian coldly: "My Lord, this is my private matter. It doesn't seem to have much to do with you."
Jiang Jilian's expression became even uglier, but he still forced a smile: "Madam, I just care about you. After all, you are still the wife of my Zhenxing Marquis Mansion."
Chu Qirui finally spoke at this time. He chuckled and said, "My Lord, you seem to have forgotten that the lady has already filed for a divorce. She is now a free person and has nothing to do with you anymore."
Jiang Jilian's face turned pale, and he turned to look at Lu Yundi: "Madam, I admit that I didn't care about you enough in the past, and even a little too much. But I am willing to correct it, please give me a chance."
Lu Yundi shook his head slightly, and said firmly: "My Lord, I appreciate your kindness. But I have decided to start over and not look back."
Jiang Jilian's face turned pale. He gritted his teeth and said, "Madam, if you leave because of that incident, I can expel Ye Wanxue from the Marquis' Mansion and never let her set foot in it."
A complex emotion flashed across Lu Yundi's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure: "My Lord, this is not Ye Wanxue's problem. The problem between us is no longer something that can be solved by one person."
Chu Qirui looked at Jiang Jilian's expression and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He gently patted Jiang Jilian's shoulder, then turned to Lu Yundi and said with a smile: "Madam, since you are so determined, I will not persuade you any more. But, are you willing to listen to what I have to say?"
Lu Yundi looked at Chu Qirui and nodded slightly: "Young Marquis, please speak."
Chu Qirui smiled gently and said, "Madam, you know that nothing in this world is eternal. Things that you think are irreversible today may change tomorrow. So, I suggest you don't rush to make a decision. You might as well give yourself some time and give others some opportunities."
Lu Yundi listened to Chu Qirui's words, and his heart was slightly moved. He smiled lightly and said, "Young Marquis, Yundi will remember what you said."
Jiang Jilian looked at Lu Yundi and Chu Qirui and said quickly, "Madam, I know you have misunderstood me, but I really want to win your heart back. Please give me a chance to prove my love for you."
Lu Yundi looked at Jiang Jilian, smiled gently, and said, "My Lord, I appreciate your kindness. But some things, once they happen, cannot be undone. I am now a free person, no longer belonging to the Zhenxing Marquisate, and no longer your wife."
Jiang Jilian was startled when he heard this, his eyes revealing deep pain and helplessness. His hands unconsciously clenched the armrests of the chair, and his knuckles turned white. He tried to speak, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and his voice was hoarse and weak: "Madam, are you really willing to give up our feelings and the vows we once made?"
