On the second day, Ye Wanxue brought several maids to Lu Yundi's yard.

The two sat down in the inner room. Ye Wanxue looked at Lu Yundi and couldn't help feeling a surge of sadness in her heart.

"Sister, how are you doing recently?" Ye Wanxue asked softly.

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, but there was a hint of alienation in her eyes: "Sister, I'm fine. How about you?"

Ye Wanxue bit her lip and decided to get straight to the point: "Sister, I heard some rumors about that incident. Can you tell me what happened?"

Lu Yundi's expression suddenly became complicated. She looked at Ye Wanxue and was silent for a moment before she slowly spoke: "Sister, I didn't want you to know about this. But since you already know it, I might as well tell you. In fact, behind that incident, there is a truth that none of us want to face."

Ye Wanxue's heart suddenly rose to her throat. She looked at her sister nervously: "What's the truth?"

Lu Yundi sighed and said, "This matter is a long story. To put it simply, someone is secretly manipulating and trying to destroy the relationship between us. And the mastermind behind this is actually your uncle."

Ye Wanxue was shocked. She covered her mouth and couldn't believe her ears: "This... How is this possible?"

Lu Yundi smiled bitterly: "Sister, this world is sometimes so cruel. People's hearts are hidden, and none of us can guess what others are thinking. However, you don't have to worry too much. I have made preparations and will definitely eliminate this hidden danger completely."

Ye Wanxue looked at her sister, her heart full of gratitude: "Sister, thank you for telling me this. I will act carefully and help you deal with this crisis."

Lu Yundi smiled, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes: "Sister, I am relieved that you can think this way."

Ye Wanxue's mood became extremely heavy. She told Jiang Jilian about the matter, and the two discussed countermeasures together.

"I didn't expect it to be my uncle." Jiang Jilian frowned, his eyes flashing with coldness, "We must completely eliminate this hidden danger."

Ye Wanxue looked at Jiang Jilian worriedly: "What should we do next?"

Jiang Jilian pondered for a moment, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, then he turned to look at Ye Wanxue and said firmly: "Xue'er, this matter is of great importance. We need to return to the mansion immediately to discuss countermeasures. This Zhenxing Marquis Mansion must not be allowed to be touched by anyone."

Ye Wanxue nodded gently. She knew that Jiang Jilian's decision would not be wrong. A trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and she said softly, "Then how should we deal with it? If this uncle really has ulterior motives, I'm afraid he won't let us go easily."

Jiang Jilian sneered: "If he dares to come, I will make sure he never returns."

Jiang Jilian and Ye Wanxue walked straight into the study. They closed the door, Jiang Jilian paced back and forth in the study, and Ye Wanxue sat aside, waiting quietly.

Jiang Jilian stopped, turned around and looked at Ye Wanxue, and said seriously: "Xue'er, from now on, you must always be vigilant and don't let anyone get close to you. I will arrange for servants to strengthen the guards in the mansion to ensure your safety."

A trace of worry flashed across Ye Wanxue's eyes, and she said softly, "I know, but you must be careful. Since this uncle dares to challenge us openly, he must have something to rely on. You must not take it lightly."

Jiang Jilian nodded gently, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Ye Wanxue, his tone became softer: "Don't worry, I will pay attention."

A few days later, a major event happened in the Zhenxing Marquis's mansion. Ye Wanxue's uncle was suddenly poisoned and died miserably. The news spread quickly, and the whole of Kyoto was shocked.

Jiang Jilian and Ye Wanxue learned the news in the study. They looked at each other and a hint of tacit understanding flashed in their eyes.

"This poison is definitely not ordinary." Jiang Jilian frowned and said in a deep voice.

Ye Wanxue nodded gently, her face solemn: "My uncle has never had any grudges against anyone, so there must be something strange about him being poisoned this time."

The two were silent for a moment, and Jiang Jilian suddenly asked, "Do you know if your uncle has been unusual recently?"

Ye Wanxue thought for a moment and shook her head: "My uncle has a gentle personality and rarely goes out. There is nothing unusual about him. It's just that he seems to be a little worried recently. I asked him about it, and he just said it was a trivial matter."

"Trivial matters?" Jiang Jilian's eyes flashed with doubt, "Perhaps this trivial matter is not as simple as you think."

The two decided to investigate the matter further. They first went to the Ye family and saw that everyone in the family was in danger and grief-stricken. Ye Wanxue's mother was even more grief-stricken and burst into tears.

"Wanxue, you must seek justice for your uncle!" Ye's mother held Ye Wanxue's hand and said sadly.

Ye Wanxue nodded with tears in her eyes: "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely get to the bottom of this."

At this moment, Ye Wanxue suddenly thought of something: "Oh, my uncle once had contact with a mysterious person who claimed to be a miracle doctor."

Jiang Jilian's eyes flashed with a gleam of light: "Miracle doctor? There must be something fishy about this."

They came to the miracle doctor's clinic, only to see that there were a constant stream of patients in the clinic and the miracle doctor was extremely busy.

"This miracle doctor is indeed famous." Jiang Jilian said in a low voice.

Ye Wanxue walked forward and asked politely, "Dr. Divine Doctor, have you treated my uncle recently?"

The doctor looked up at them and nodded slightly: "Yes, I have treated him before. He is not seriously ill, but he suffers from insomnia."

Ye Wanxue frowned: "Then do you know if anyone has been having problems with him recently?"

The doctor was silent for a moment, then said, "To be honest, I did hear him mention that he seemed to have had conflicts with some people recently."

"Who are these people?" Jiang Jilian asked.

The doctor shook his head: "He didn't tell me who it was, but just said it was some powerful people."

"It seems that this matter is of great importance." Jiang Jilian said in a deep voice.

A trace of determination flashed in Ye Wanxue's eyes: "No matter what, we must get to the bottom of this."

"You two, what do you want to talk to me about?" The Minister of Revenue asked with forced calmness.

Jiang Jilian said bluntly: "We are here to investigate the dispute between you and Ye Hongwu."

The Minister of Revenue's face changed, and he tried to cover it up: "I have no dispute with Ye Hongwu, don't talk nonsense."

Ye Wanxue looked at him coldly: "Do you know that my uncle has died of poisoning?"

The Minister of Revenue was stunned and unable to explain. Jiang Jilian took the opportunity to ask, "Did you poison him?"

The Minister of Revenue had no answer and could only admit: "Yes, I poisoned him. But I didn't mean to kill him. I just wanted to teach him a lesson."

Jiang Jilian and Ye Wanxue looked at each other, feeling extremely angry.

"Lessons?" Jiang Jilian's voice was low and cold, like the north wind on a winter night. "Is your lesson to take someone's life?"

The Minister of Revenue turned pale and trembled. He wanted to explain himself, but found that he had nothing to say.

Ye Wanxue stood up slowly, her eyes were like ice, staring coldly at the Minister of Revenue: "You know, my uncle Ye Hongwu has been honest and upright all his life. Your behavior is not only hurting us, but also blaspheming the law and betraying the Western Wei."
