"Young Marquis Chu, you... visited a brothel?" Lu Yundi said in shock.

Chu Qirui looked embarrassed. There were always some bad friends who had a wide range of interests.

"Mrs. Lu, I'm so sorry, I..." Chu Qirui was incoherent and didn't know how to explain.

The shock in Lu Yundi's eyes was gradually replaced by a deep doubt.

"Young Marquis Chu, you know that although this brothel is managed by me, it is not a place for a nobleman like you to come." Lu Yundi's tone was calm, but every word was powerful.

"Mrs. Lu, I admit that I really shouldn't be here." Chu Qirui finally spoke, his voice low and full of sincerity, "But please believe me, I'm not being frivolous. To be honest, I heard that there is a girl named Ruhua here, and she was my lifesaver."

Lu Yundi was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Chu Qirui to say such a thing. She turned to look at Dou Ruhua, who was also surprised.

"Young Marquis Chu, are you telling the truth?" Lu Yundi asked, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

Chu Qirui nodded, his eyes became firm: "Yes, yes, when I was traveling outside, I unfortunately encountered an accident, and it was Miss Ruhua who saved me. I wanted to thank her in person, but I couldn't find a chance. Today, I learned that she was here, so I couldn't help but come here."

Lu Yundi looked at Chu Qirui, and the shock in his heart was gradually replaced by a deep admiration.

"I see. I understand." Lu Yundi nodded gently, and a hint of tolerance was revealed in her tone. "Young Marquis Chu, I appreciate your kindness. However, you should still pay attention to your status. This place is really not suitable for you."

Chu Qirui heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. He looked at Lu Yundi gratefully and said, "Mrs. Lu, I am very grateful for your understanding and tolerance."

Dou Ruhua also regained her composure at this time. She looked at Chu Qirui and smiled, "Young Marquis Chu, I am honored that you remember my kindness. However, you should still take your status seriously. After all, this environment is not suitable for you."

Lu Yundi looked at Chu Qirui's sincere face, and the shock in her heart slowly turned into understanding and sympathy. She sighed and said slowly: "So that's how it is. I understand your intentions, Young Marquis Chu. Ruhua is indeed a kind-hearted girl. It is her duty to lend a helping hand to you in times of crisis."

Dou Ruhua was a little shy when she heard this. She didn't expect Chu Qirui to bring up this matter in front of Lu Yundi. She lowered her head and said softly, "Madam, this is what I should do. It was fate that I met the young Marquis Chu that day."

Chu Qirui looked at Dou Ruhua, his heart filled with gratitude. He stepped forward and bowed deeply to Dou Ruhua: "Miss Ruhua, I still remember what happened back then. It is a great honor to meet you again today."

Seeing this, Lu Yundi couldn't help but feel deeply moved. He smiled softly and broke the silence: "Young Marquis Chu, I appreciate your kindness. However, in the days ahead, you still have to pay attention to your status. Although this is a brothel, there are still etiquette and rules to follow."

Chu Qirui nodded in response. He looked at Lu Yundi with respect in his eyes: "Mrs. Lu, I will remember your teachings in my heart. In the future, I will try my best to avoid such things from happening, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to you and the Lu family."

……

Jiang Jilian came to the Lu family again to ask Lu Yundi for help. This time, he brought Jiang Lili and Jiang Zihan with him.

As soon as Jiang Jilian entered the house, he bowed deeply to Lu Yundi and said, "Madam, I brought the children here this time because I want to ask you to go back. Since that incident, no one in the mansion has been at peace. The elders have urged me many times, and I really can't delay any longer."

Lu Yundi looked at Jiang Jilian coldly, and said firmly: "Jiang Jilian, do you think I will be soft-hearted if you bring your child with you? I tell you, I have no interest in the Marquis' Mansion, and my longing for the child cannot outweigh my disappointment in you."

Jiang Lili stood aside, a hint of fear flashed in her eyes. She quietly pulled Jiang Zihan's hand, hoping that her sister would not be afraid.

Jiang Zihan looked up at her mother, her eyes full of anticipation.

Seeing this, Jiang Jilian said, "Madam, I know I made a mistake, but I sincerely regret it. Zi Han is still young and she needs her mother's love. Please forgive me for the sake of the child."

Lu Yundi's eyes flickered with a wave, but soon he regained his composure: "Jiang Jilian, do you think I will give in if you threaten me with the child? I tell you, I am not that kind of person."

Jiang Zihan couldn't help crying. She ran over and hugged Lu Yundi's legs, crying, "Mother, I don't want to leave you. I don't want to go back to that home."

Lu Yundi's heart softened. She squatted down and gently stroked Jiang Zihan's hair, her eyes full of tenderness: "Zihan, mother knows that you don't want to leave, but mother can't give up her dignity for you. Mother hopes you understand that sometimes, bravely facing reality can solve problems better than escaping."

Jiang Jilian saw this and his heart moved. He stepped forward and said to Lu Yundi, "Madam, I know I was wrong, but I really want to change. Zi Han is my youngest daughter, and I love her more than anything else. If you are willing to come back, I will expel Ye Wanxue from the Marquis' Mansion and let her never affect our family again."

Lu Yundi's eyes flashed with hesitation. She looked at Jiang Jilian, feeling conflicted. Seeing this, Jiang Lili whispered to her mother, "Mom, maybe we can give it a try. Dad has promised to change. For my sister, we should give him a chance."

Lu Yundi pondered for a moment and finally made up her mind. She looked at Jiang Jilian and said, "Okay, I promise you, as long as you leave Zi Han in Lu's mansion, I will consider returning to the Marquis' mansion. But I warn you, if something like this happens again, I will never let you go easily."

Jiang Jilian excitedly held Lu Yundi's hand and said, "Madam, I will definitely cherish this opportunity and prove my determination with my actions."

Lu Yundi's words seemed to give Jiang Jilian a glimmer of hope, and his eyes flashed with gratitude and determination. He looked at Lu Yundi deeply, then turned to Jiang Zihan and said gently: "Zihan, are you willing to stay with your mother?"

Jiang Zihan stopped crying and looked up at Jiang Jilian, with doubt and reluctance in her eyes. She hugged Lu Yundi tightly and whispered, "I want to be with my mother, but I miss my father too."

Jiang Jilian felt a pang of pain in his heart. He gently stroked Jiang Zihan's head and sighed deeply. At this time, Jiang Lili stepped forward and said to Jiang Jilian, "Father, my sister needs time to adapt. Let's let her stay with mother first."

Jiang Jilian nodded and said to Lu Yundi, "Madam, I'll trouble you. I will arrange the affairs in the mansion as soon as possible and then come to pick you up."
