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

Jiang Jilian's eyes flickered as he said, "I plan to let Ah Zhu help us. She is smart and resourceful, and is well versed in the affairs of the mansion. With her help, things will be much easier."

Jiang Jixin was a little surprised: "Azhu? She is someone close to my mother, is she reliable?"

"Don't worry, Ah Zhu is mother's confidant. She has watched me grow up since I was a child. She is loyal to us, so there will be no problem." Jiang Jilian said in a firm tone.

That night, Jiang Jilian summoned Ah Zhu to the study. As soon as Ah Zhu entered the room, she felt the tense atmosphere in the study. She bowed to Jiang Jilian and asked, "My Lord, is there anything I can do for you?"

Jiang Jilian said in a deep voice: "Azhu, I have something to ask of you. It is of great importance and you must keep it secret."

Ah Zhu's face was serious as she replied, "I understand. Please tell me, my Lord."

Jiang Jilian briefly recounted what had happened. Ah Zhu's eyes flashed with panic, but she soon regained her composure. She thought for a moment and said, "My Lord, this matter is indeed difficult, but I am willing to do my best."

Jiang Jilian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll trouble you then. From today on, you will assist Jixin and secretly investigate this matter."

After Ah Zhu received the order, Jiang Jixin exchanged glances with her.

One day, Jiang Jixin was discussing the progress of the investigation with Ah Zhu in the garden. Suddenly, a figure flashed out from the darkness. It was Jiang Jilian's subordinate, Deputy General Zhou.

Deputy General Zhou looked panicked and said, "Sir, this is bad. I just got the news that someone is secretly monitoring us."

Jiang Jixin's face changed and he asked, "Who is it?"

Vice General Zhou shook his head: "It's not clear yet, but this matter is very serious. We must handle it carefully."

Jiang Jixin hesitated for a moment and said, "Deputy General Zhou, you go back first. I will make my own arrangements."

As night fell, the Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion fell into silence. Jiang Jixin and Ah Zhu quietly sneaked into the courtyard where their mother lived, ready to look for clues. They walked into the room carefully and saw their mother lying on the bed, her face pale, and it seemed that her condition had worsened.

Jiang Jixin's heart tightened, and he whispered to Ah Zhu: "You stay here to take care of mother, I will go to look for clues."

Ah Zhu nodded, and Jiang Jixin quietly left the room. He came to his mother's study and carefully looked for possible clues. Suddenly, he found a diary, which densely recorded his mother's thoughts.

Jiang Jixin opened the diary and a line of handwriting caught his attention: "I do have doubts about what happened that day, but there is insufficient evidence, so I dare not act rashly."

Jiang Jixin's heart moved. This sentence might be the key clue left by his mother. He carefully put the diary into his arms and prepared to leave.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared at the door of the study. It was Jiang Jilian. He looked at Jiang Jixin and said in a serious tone, "Jixin, have you found any clues?"

Jiang Jixin nodded and handed the diary to Jiang Jilian. Jiang Jilian took the diary and read it carefully, with a glimmer of joy in his eyes: "Okay, we finally found a clue. Next, we need to speed up the investigation and find out the truth as soon as possible."

……

It was already dark in the Zhenxing Marquis's mansion, but the lights were on and the atmosphere was a little tense. Jiang Yuqi frowned, obviously not expecting the news. She looked up at her brother Jiang Jilian, only to see that he had a serious expression and a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Jiang Jilian slowly walked up to his sister, patted her shoulder gently, and tried to comfort her: "Yuqi, don't worry, tell me what happened?"

Jiang Yuqi bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Brother, do you remember the secret that father mentioned before he died?"

Jiang Jilian was slightly stunned, and remembered his father's words before he died. He nodded: "I remember, my father said that the secret was related to the safety of Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion, but he didn't say what it was. Why did you suddenly mention this?"

Jiang Yuqi said nervously: "Today, I was looking through my father's belongings in the study and accidentally found an ancient book that recorded the secret. It turns out that the safety of Zhenxing Marquis Mansion is related to a mysterious treasure."

Jiang Jilian frowned and asked in confusion: "Treasure? Are you talking about the treasure that my father was looking for when he was alive?"

Jiang Yuqi nodded: "Yes, the book describes in detail the location of the treasure and how to find it. However, the book also mentions a danger. If we accidentally leak this secret, Zhenxing Marquis Mansion will face a catastrophe."

Hearing this, Jiang Jilian's face became solemn. He pondered for a moment, then said: "Yuqi, we must be careful. Now that the secret has been exposed, we can't let it spread out. Put the book away, I will send people to closely guard the Zhenxing Marquis Mansion to ensure its safety."

Jiang Yuqi nodded and said worriedly: "Brother, what should we do next?"

Jiang Jilian pondered for a while, then said: "First, we have to find out the truth about this treasure. I want to know what this treasure is and why it is related to the safety of Zhenxing Marquis Mansion. Secondly, find out who leaked this secret and bring him to justice."

Jiang Yuqi looked at her brother worriedly: "Brother, I'm afraid this task is not easy to complete."

Jiang Jilian smiled and patted his sister on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Yuqi, with your brother here, we will definitely get through this difficult time."

……

Lu Yundi walked into the room slowly, with a hint of gentle concern in her eyes. "I heard that Yuqi was here, so I came to see her. What's the matter? Am I disturbing you and your sister from reminiscing about the past?"

Jiang Jilian raised his head, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and then he regained his composure and said to Lu Yundi with a smile: "Madam, you are here just in time. We were just chatting about family matters. It just so happens that I have something to discuss with you."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "What's the matter? Why are you so serious?"

Jiang Jilian pondered for a moment and said, "I want Yuqi to stay in the mansion for a while when she comes back this time. First, she wants to accompany you, and second, she wants to help me check on the situation at home. What do you think?"

Lu Yundi was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Why not? Sister Yuqi is back, and the house will be more lively. But, will her living here affect her life?"

Jiang Yuqi hurriedly said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, it's okay for me to stay here for a while. I don't have anything important to do outside anyway."

Jiang Jilian nodded, looked at his wife and said, "Di'er, I know you have always cared about Yuqi. Now that she is back, I have something to tell you."

Lu Yundi smiled lightly, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "What's the matter? So mysterious?"

Jiang Jilian took a deep breath and said, "I want Yuqi to help me with some housework. What do you think?"

Lu Yundi was slightly stunned, then laughed out loud: "So that's how it is, I thought it was a big deal. Sister Yuqi is smart and capable, and it's perfect for her to help you with housework. But, will she feel like a burden?"

Jiang Yuqi hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, you misunderstood. I am willing to help. It is my honor to contribute to the family."
