When Jiang Jilian got home from work, he went straight to Lu Yundi's room and asked, "Mother said you're still not feeling well?"

Facing Jiang Jilian's suspicious look, Lu Yundi supported his waist.

Jiang Jilian's words echoed in the air. Lu Yundi gently stroked the thin belt around his waist, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"I do feel a little unwell, but it's okay. I just caught a cold." Lu Yundi answered lightly, but there was a hint of barely perceptible sadness in his eyes.

Jiang Jilian frowned slightly, the suspicion in his eyes had not completely disappeared, but he still sat down beside the bed and gently held Lu Yundi's hand: "If that's the case, why didn't you tell me earlier? There are so many doctors in the palace, can't they cure your illness?"

Lu Yundi shook his head gently, with gratitude in his eyes: "Ji Lian, I know you care about me, but these are just minor illnesses and pains, why bother mobilizing so many people. Besides, you have been busy all day, how can I let you be distracted by me again."

The conversation between the two was full of warmth and tacit understanding, but Jiang Jilian was still worried. He stared at Lu Yundi's face, trying to find a flaw in her eyes: "Your complexion is indeed a little pale. We can't delay any longer. I'll ask the imperial physician to come and take a good look tomorrow."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly and gently patted Jiang Jilian's hand, trying to comfort him: "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself. By the way, is there anything new in the court today?"

Jiang Jilian's worry faded a little after hearing this. He relaxed his body, leaned against the bed, and began to talk about what happened in the court today. Lu Yundi listened quietly, interrupting from time to time to ask questions, and the atmosphere between the two gradually became relaxed.

"Today the emperor mentioned the war on the border, which seems a bit tricky." Jiang Jilian frowned and spoke in a serious tone.

A trace of concern flashed across Lu Yundi's eyes: "Are the generals over there reliable? What can we do to help?"

Jiang Jilian shook his head: "Not yet, but I will keep an eye on it. After all, the status of Zhenxing Marquis Mansion in the court is not insignificant, and we need to stand up at the critical moment."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly. She knew that Jiang Jilian had a heavy responsibility, and she also understood that as the wife of Marquis Zhenxing, she also needed to shoulder the responsibility of the family.

As the night deepened, the conversation between the two became less and less frequent. Jiang Jilian looked at Lu Yundi's tired expression and felt distressed. He gently patted Lu Yundi on the shoulder and said, "Go to bed early. You have to get up early tomorrow."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, nodded gently, and then turned around and lay down. Jiang Jilian covered her with a quilt and quietly left the room.

The next morning, just after the sun rose, Jiang Jilian got up early and arranged for the servants to prepare breakfast. He came to Lu Yundi's room and knocked on the door gently.

"Ma'am, wake up, breakfast is ready."

Lu Yundi responded softly and sat up slowly. Jiang Jilian walked into the room and looked at Lu Yundi's slightly red eyes. He felt guilty: "I let you stay up late last night. Have a good rest today."

Lu Yundi smiled and shook his head gently: "It's okay, I'm used to it. Ji Lian, do you have any plans for today?"

Jiang Jilian frowned: "I have some things to deal with today, so I may be back later. But don't worry, I will let the servants take good care of you."

Lu Yundi nodded gently, suppressing the strong urge to vomit that was rising from the bottom of his heart.

……

The afterglow of the setting sun shone in the house, casting a golden glow. Lu Yundi was carefully counting the dowry in the room, with a satisfied look in her eyes. At this time, Jiang Lili returned home with light steps.

"Mother, Princess Mengyi likes me very much. She hopes to see me every day." Jiang Lili's tone could hardly hide a hint of pride.

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and praised her a few words with a fake smile on her face. But she was secretly thinking in her heart, is Princess Mengyi's love for Li Li really because she values ​​her talent, or is there another purpose?

"Li Li, Princess Mengyi is of noble status. You must be careful with your words and actions when interacting with her. You must not slack off in the slightest." Lu Yundi said in a serious tone, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Jiang Lili smiled lightly, her lips curled up, and she looked confident: "Don't worry, mother, I know my limits. Princess Mengyi favors me, and I will definitely seize this opportunity."

At this time, Jiang Jilian walked in. He was wearing a purple robe and had a serious expression, but there was a hint of gentleness between his brows. He looked at Lu Yundi and Jiang Lili, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said, "Madam, Lili, what are you talking about?"

Lu Yundi stood up quickly, bowed, and said, "My Lord is back. We were talking about Li Li and Princess Meng Yi."

Jiang Jilian nodded gently, walked to the table and sat down, looking at Jiang Lili, and said: "Lili, I heard that Princess Mengyi thinks highly of you, which is a good thing. But you must remember that the higher the status, the greater the responsibility. You must know how to get along with her and not let her think that we in Zhenxing Marquis Mansion are arrogant and rude."

Jiang Lili responded respectfully: "My father taught me, and I will remember it."

Jiang Jilian looked at Lu Yundi with concern in his eyes, and said, "Madam, you have worked hard these days. Are the affairs in the mansion going smoothly?"

Lu Yundi smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, my Lord, the affairs of the mansion are arranged in an orderly manner. However, I am worried about Li Li."

Jiang Jilian frowned and asked, "What is Madam worried about?"

Lu Yundi sighed and said, "My Lord, Princess Mengyi is of noble status and her preferences are unpredictable. I am worried that Li Li will be used by her and even fall into danger."

Seeing this, Jiang Jilian patted her shoulder gently and whispered, "Madam, I know what you are worried about. But please believe me, I will handle this matter properly. Li Li is our daughter, and her safety is my biggest concern."

Lu Yundi turned back, a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes. She held Jiang Jilian's hand tightly and said softly: "My Lord, I know you care about Li Li, but I am still worried about Princess Mengyi's methods. If she really likes Li Li, then it's fine; if she has other intentions, then what should we do?"

Jiang Jilian frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Madam, don't worry, I will send someone to closely monitor Princess Mengyi's movements. At the same time, we must also strengthen the teaching of Li Li, so that she will understand the dangers in the imperial court, so as not to be easily used by others."

The two were silent for a moment, and Jiang Jilian suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Madam, have you met Hongyu, the maidservant beside Princess Mengyi? It is said that she is smart and has won the trust of Princess Mengyi. If we can let her work for us, she may be able to provide us with some useful information."

Lu Yundi's eyes flashed with surprise, and he said, "My Lord, this is a great plan! If Hongyu is really so reliable, we can indeed try to win her over. But we still need to be cautious in order not to alert the enemy."

Jiang Jilian nodded and said, "Madam is right. I will send my trusted people to act in secret and make sure this is a success."
