All the people in the Hou Mansion are evil, and they will be repaid tenfold after rebirth

"Mother has been feeling unwell recently, so she might have gone for a walk in the garden," Jiang Jixin suggested.

The three of them immediately came to the garden, but after searching everywhere, they still could not find any trace of Yu. Jiang Jilian felt more and more depressed, and he began to wonder if someone had taken his mother away.

He turned around and ordered the servants: "Seal the gates of the mansion immediately. No one is allowed to enter or leave. I want to know that every corner has been searched."

The servants left immediately, and the entire mansion instantly fell into a tense atmosphere. Jiang Jilian, Lu Yundi, and Jiang Jixin continued to search for clues in the garden.

"Ji Lian, I remember my mother mentioned last night that she wanted to go to the temple to pray for things at home." Lu Yundi suddenly remembered something and said.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Jiang Jilian's eyes, and he immediately said to Jiang Jixin: "Jixin, take people to the nearby temple to have a look, maybe mother really went there."

Jiang Jixin responded and immediately left the mansion with several servants. Jiang Jilian and Lu Yundi waited anxiously in the garden.

Jiang Jixin led his servants through the moon-shaped gate of the mansion and set out on the road to the temple. The autumn sun shone through the mottled shadows of the trees and sprinkled on the bluestone slabs, reflecting a golden wave of light. He was worried and expectant at the same time, hoping to find his mother Yu as soon as possible.

Soon, the group arrived at an ancient temple at the foot of the mountain. Jiang Jixin could not help but feel awe at the simplicity and solemnity of the temple. When he entered the temple, he saw smoke curling around the temple and believers praying devoutly.

Jiang Jixin searched the temple for a while and finally found Yu in front of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva. She clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and moved her lips gently, as if she was praying silently. Jiang Jixin walked over gently and whispered, "Mother, we found you."

Yu opened her eyes and saw Jiang Jixin and the others. She was slightly surprised, but then she regained her composure. She stood up, tidied her clothes, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Jixin stepped forward and said with concern: "Mother, last night you mentioned that you wanted to come to the temple to pray for blessings. We are worried about your safety, so we came to see you."

Yu smiled slightly, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes: "You are so thoughtful. I was really worried about something last night, so I wanted to come and see. I didn't expect you to find it so quickly."

"Mother, what did you mean by the things at home that you mentioned last night?" Jiang Jixin asked cautiously.

Yu sighed and said, "As you know, our family business has had some setbacks recently. I am worried that these things will affect your lives, so I want to pray for you here, and hope that you will be safe and sound."

Jiang Jixin nodded, feeling a little heavy in his heart.

"Mother, don't worry. We will work hard to support the family business and won't let you worry." Jiang Jixin said seriously.

Yu looked at Jiang Jixin, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes: "I believe you. However, family matters are not just about business, but also about your marriage. You are both old enough to start a family, and I am worried that you will encounter troubles in this matter."

Jiang Jixin was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect his mother to mention this question. He subconsciously looked at the servants around him, only to see that they were all waiting in the distance and didn't notice this place.

"Mother, don't worry, I will take this matter seriously." Jiang Jixin said in a deep voice.

Yu smiled slightly and patted Jiang Jixin's shoulder gently: "I believe you. However, you still need to be cautious about marriage. Your father always hoped that you could find a virtuous woman to support the family business together."

Jiang Jixin nodded silently, and couldn't help thinking of a woman in his heart. He didn't know whether he should mention her to his mother, after all, the relationship between them was still in a vague stage.

At this time, Yu suddenly turned around and said to the maid beside her: "Go, get ready, we should go back."

Jiang Jixin and others followed Yu out of the temple and set out on the road back home. Along the way, the atmosphere between them seemed a little heavy.

……

Jiang Jilian did not tolerate Jiang Jixin either. He pointed at Jiang Jixin and scolded him in front of Lu Yundi.

Lu Yundi watched the quarrel between the two brothers with great interest, but on the surface he still had to try to stop them from fighting.

Jiang Jilian's anger was like a volcano erupting, and his finger almost poked Jiang Jixin's nose. He angrily scolded: "Why didn't you tell me about this yesterday? If mother really went out with him, wouldn't we have to worry about her safety? As my brother, you are so careless!"

Jiang Jixin did not show any anger when facing Jiang Jilian's scolding, but rather a bit of guilt. He lowered his head and said softly, "Brother, I did not tell you about this yesterday. It was my negligence. I thought Mr. Lu was just here to visit his mother, but I didn't expect..."

Seeing this, Lu Yundi couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She stepped forward and gently interrupted the quarrel between the two brothers: "Okay, Ji Lian, Ji Xin didn't mean it. The most important thing now is to find mother, not to blame anyone. Ji Xin, where does Lu Wenbin, who you just mentioned, live? Should we go find him and ask him?"

Jiang Jixin nodded: "Yes, sister-in-law. Mr. Lu said that he lives in an inn near the Marquis' Mansion. We might as well go find him, maybe we can get some clues from there."

Although Jiang Jilian was still angry, now was not the time to lose his temper. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then ordered the servants: "Prepare the horses, let's go to the inn."

The three of them immediately left the mansion and rode towards the inn in the city. Along the way, Jiang Jilian's face was very gloomy. He held the reins tightly, his eyes full of worry.

Soon, they arrived at the inn. After Jiang Jilian got off his horse, he walked directly into the inn and asked loudly, "Is there a guest named Lu Wenbin here?"

Upon seeing this, the innkeeper immediately came forward and answered cautiously: "Yes, there is a guest named Lu Wenbin staying in our inn. However, he left this morning."

Jiang Jilian's heart tightened, and he asked anxiously, "Where did he go?"

The shopkeeper shook his head: "I don't know about that. The customer didn't tell me where he was going."

Jiang Jilian's face became even uglier. Time was running out, and his mother Yu's safety could not be ignored. He said to the shopkeeper, "Send someone to find out where Lu Wenbin is. We need to find him and find out where our mother is."

The innkeeper nodded quickly and sent someone to inquire about the news. Jiang Jilian, Lu Yundi and Jiang Jixin waited anxiously in the inn.

At this time, Lu Yundi gently pulled Jiang Jixin's sleeve and whispered, "Jixin, look at Jilian's current state. He must be very worried. As a family, we should give him more support and comfort."
