Jiang Yinyi was shocked when he heard his mother's words. He hurried to Lu Yundi and took her hand: "Mother, I didn't mean that. I just... I just want you to be nicer to Aunt Ye."

Tears welled up in Jiang Yinyi's eyes. He held Lu Yundi's hand tightly, and pleaded in his voice: "Mother, I really like Aunt Ye. She is very good to me, just like you are to me. I don't want to see both of you unhappy."

Lu Yundi was shaken, but her pride prevented her from showing weakness in front of her son. She pulled her hand away and said coldly, "Yinyi, you know the rules of this mansion. Ye Wanxue is my concubine, and she is not qualified to be on an equal footing with me. If you really want to do good for her, you should understand this."

Jiang Yinyi lowered his head even more. He couldn't believe that his mother would say such cold words.

"Mother, I know the rules of this mansion, and I also know Aunt Ye's identity. However, rules are made by people, and people's hearts are made of flesh and blood. Aunt Ye is good to me, so I should be good to her, right?" Jiang Yinyi's voice was weak, but full of determination.

Lu Yundi felt a pain in her heart. She looked at her son, whose clear eyes were filled with concern for Ye Wanxue and confusion about his mother.

"Yinyi, do you know what you are saying? You are challenging my authority." Lu Yundi tried to use a stern tone to hide his inner hesitation.

Jiang Yinyi raised his head, his eyes flashing with determination: "Mother, I am just saying what I think is right. If you think I am challenging your authority, then I am willing to accept the punishment."

Lu Yundi looked at her son, and her heart softened. She took a deep breath and said slowly, "Yinyi, you know, I don't really want to hurt Ye Wanxue, I just... I just think she shouldn't do that at the old lady's funeral."

Jiang Yinyi felt warm at heart when he heard his mother's words. He said softly, "Mother, everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Aunt Ye was just impulsive. She already knows she was wrong. We should give her a chance."

......

Lu Yundi returned to the Jiang family and gave gifts to the children. Naturally, he also had to pay a visit to the Yu family.

"Yundi, you're back." Yu sat down and motioned Lu Yundi to sit down as well.

Lu Yundi sat down as he was told and looked at Yu with an honest gaze, waiting for her next words.

"Do you know what people outside are saying about you?" Yu suddenly asked, with a hint of blame in her tone.

Lu Yundi lowered her head slightly and replied softly: "I know, mother. I know that what I did disappointed you."

Yu sighed deeply, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "Yun Di, I watched you grow up, and I always thought you were a woman with strong opinions and backbone. But what you are doing now makes me feel that you have changed."

Lu Yundi's heart tightened, but she remained calm and said slowly: "Mother, I know I was wrong. But I made that decision for the sake of my children and the Jiang family."

Yu was silent for a while, then slowly spoke: "Yun Di, do you know? I have been waiting for you to come back. Not because you are the mother of the child, but because you are a responsible wife of the Marquis. You left the Marquis' Mansion, bringing shame to the entire family and embarrassing Jiang Jilian. You came back to take on your responsibilities again."

A hint of determination flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes: "Mother, I understand what you mean. I am willing to take on my responsibilities and become the wife of the Marquis's Mansion again."

Mrs. Yu looked at Lu Yundi, a hint of relief flashed in her eyes, but she quickly returned to her seriousness: "Yundi, do you know what you will face when you come back? The expectations of the family, the dissatisfaction of your husband, and the gossip. Are you ready?"

Lu Yundi nodded and said firmly: "Mother, I am ready. I know I must be strong. For the sake of my children and my family, I must stand up straight and face everything."

The door curtain was gently lifted and an old man walked in.

He looked old, but vigorous and dignified. Yu immediately put on a warm smile and introduced him to Lu Yundi: "This is my old lover. We had a relationship when we were young."

"Mother, your stories from your youth are always so fascinating." Lu Yundi said softly, trying to ease the atmosphere in the room.

Yu smiled, with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes: "Yes, we were carefree at that time, thinking only of poetry and songs, and traveling. Unfortunately, time is unforgiving."

Lin Jue looked at Yu, with a hint of affection in his eyes. He said to Lu Yundi, "Madam, you should know that Yu is a very talented woman. She is quite accomplished in poetry and songs."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly. She didn't know much about Yu, but at this moment, she felt the charm of Yu when she was young.

The topic gradually turned to Lu Yundi's return to the Marquis' Mansion. Lin Jue asked, "Madam, after you come back, how are you going to face the elders of the Jiang family and Jiang Jilian?"

Lu Yundi took a deep breath, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "Old sir, I know that there will be many difficulties and challenges after I come back. But I have made preparations, and I will use my actions to prove that I am still the responsible wife of the Marquis."

Yu looked at Lu Yundi with a look of relief in her eyes. She said softly, "Yundi, I feel relieved when you say that. You are a woman of integrity. I believe you can handle this."

Yu looked out the window and said softly, "Yun Di, when you come back, you should pay more attention to Jiang Ji Lian. Although he sometimes does things without thinking, he is your husband after all, and you have a child."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly. Although she was dissatisfied with Jiang Jilian's behavior, she also understood that for the sake of her children and her family, she must reconcile with Jiang Jilian.

"Mother, I will." Lu Yundi replied softly.

......

"Why is there no braised pork elbow today? I want braised pork elbow with rock sugar. Didn't they say we can have it when mother comes back?"

Jiang Yinyi felt a little disgusted with the dinner sent from the kitchen.

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Jiang Yinyi's words. He leaned against the dining table, frowning, his eyes revealing his disappointment with the food.

Lu Yundi sat opposite him, gently put down the chopsticks in her hand, smiled slightly, and tried to resolve her son's complaints. She slowly said: "Yinyi, your mother has just returned to the Marquis' Mansion, and many things have not been completely sorted out. The financial losses in the mansion cannot be solved overnight."

Jiang Yinyi curled his lips, looking a little impatient: "But mother, I have been patient for a long time. You said before that the food would be improved after you came back, but it is still the same now. I really want to try the braised pork elbow."

Lu Yundi gently patted Jiang Yinyi's shoulder, her eyes full of love: "I know, I know you really want to eat braised pork elbow. But, Yinyi, you have to know that change takes time. Mother, I will solve the problem in the mansion as soon as possible. By then, I will definitely let you eat delicious rock sugar braised pork elbow, and it will be better than ever."
