Yu was stunned, then asked, "What method?"

There was a hint of doubt in her eyes, and she seemed a little surprised by Lu Yundi's suggestion.

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, brushed her clothes gently, and said slowly: "Old Madam, I remember you once said that success or failure, honor or disgrace, all depend on one thought. With the current situation of Zhenxing Marquis Mansion, perhaps we can start with the mentality."

Yu nodded slightly, signaling her daughter-in-law to continue. She sat upright on the mahogany chair, her eyes revealing a hint of anticipation.

Lu Yundi sighed softly and said, "Old Madam, you know, ever since the old marquis passed away, the atmosphere in the mansion has been shrouded in sadness. I have always thought that if we can change this atmosphere, perhaps we can cheer up everyone in the mansion again."

Yu frowned slightly, with a trace of worry in her eyes: "You mean..."

Lu Yundi smiled and said, "Madam, I want to hold a grand banquet and invite celebrities from all walks of life to come and restore the former glory of the Zhenxing Marquis Mansion. This will not only improve the morale of the mansion, but also let the outside world know that the Zhenxing Marquis Mansion has not declined due to the death of the old marquis."

Yu was silent for a moment, the worry in her eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a hint of determination: "Yun Di, do you think this method is feasible?"

Lu Yundi nodded gently and said, "I believe that as long as we work together, we will succeed. Moreover, this banquet can also be an opportunity for us to show the strength of our family."

A trace of approval flashed in Yu's eyes. She smiled and patted Lu Yundi's hand, saying, "Since you said so, I feel relieved. I'll leave this matter to you to arrange. I believe you can do a good job."

……

Lu Yundi, wearing a gorgeous emerald green silk dress and a phoenix crown inlaid with gemstones, stood in front of the mansion gate with a graceful manner, smiling and welcoming the endless stream of distinguished guests. Her eyes were both majestic and revealed a hint of imperceptible fatigue.

"Madam, you have worked hard." A maid in green came forward and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"It's okay. This is my duty as the wife of Marquis Zhenxing." Lu Yundi nodded slightly, her eyes sweeping across the bustling crowd, and she couldn't help but recall the scene when she first entered the Marquis' Mansion.

At this time, there was laughter and joy in the Zhenxing Marquis's mansion. Lu Yundi walked into the hall and saw several women around the lady sitting together, chatting and laughing.

"Madam, you are here." A middle-aged woman stood up and greeted her with a smile.

"Well, cousin, you look really good today." Lu Yundi responded with a smile, concern in her eyes.

"Thanks to you, I've been feeling healthier lately." The cousin smiled and patted Lu Yundi's hand, then led her to a seat.

"Madam, look over there." My cousin pointed at the crowd outside the window and said in a low voice.

Lu Yundi followed her cousin's gaze and saw a woman in red dancing gracefully, her dance was so charming.

"Who is that?" Lu Yundi asked curiously.

"Her name is Hongyu. She is a dancer in the Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion. She is an excellent dancer and is quite favored by the Marquis." The cousin explained.

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, secretly sighing in his heart that the Zhenxing Marquis Mansion was full of talented people, no wonder it could survive in such troubled times.

At this time, a man in purple clothes hurried into the lobby with a panicked look on his face.

"Madam, it's bad. There's someone making trouble outside." The woman said breathlessly.

Lu Yundi's face suddenly changed, and he stood up and walked out the door. Seeing this, everyone followed him.

Outside the mansion gate, a group of men in strange clothes were clashing with the guards of the mansion. They were shouting and claiming that they wanted to see the Marquis of Zhenxing.

"Madam, these people are not well-intentioned and may be trying to trick you." A guard reminded in a low voice.

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, staring at those people with sharp eyes, secretly calculating in his heart.

"Who are you? Why do you want to see Marquis Zhenxing?" Lu Yundi asked coldly.

Those people stared at this elegant lady with wide eyes and were speechless for a moment.

"We are envoys sent by the imperial court. We have important matters to discuss with Marquis Zhenxing." One of them answered stiffly.

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes: "In that case, please go back first, and I will make arrangements after I inform the Marquis."

After hearing this, those people hesitated for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.

Lu Yundi turned around and went back to the lobby, and everyone gathered around him.

"Ma'am, are you okay?" my cousin asked with concern.

"It's okay, but these people have unclear intentions, so I must be careful when dealing with them." Lu Yundi smiled slightly, already having an idea in his mind.

That night, a grand banquet was held in the Zhenxing Marquis's mansion, and many dignitaries were invited to attend. Lu Yundi, dressed in gorgeous clothes, greeted every guest with a smile on his face.

At the banquet, everyone toasted and drank, laughing and talking. Lu Yundi chatted with her cousin and others, and her eyes occasionally glanced at the imperial envoys.

As night fell and the banquet gradually came to an end, the envoys could no longer hold back and stood up and walked towards Lu Yundi.

"Madam, can we discuss our business now?" asked the messenger.

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes: "Of course, but I have to see the Marquis first."

When the messenger heard this, his face changed, but he finally nodded in agreement.

The night was like a deep and boundless painting. As the lights came on, the lanterns inside and outside the Zhenxing Marquis Mansion illuminated a bright scene, as if to dispel the gloomy night.

The banquet was coming to an end. The guests were chatting in twos and threes. Some were ready to leave, but the envoys were looking eagerly at Lu Yundi, the wife of Marquis Zhenxing.

Lu Yundi sat in the main seat, and the maid beside her brought her a cup of tea. Her fingers gently brushed the edge of the teacup, her eyes swept over the messenger, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

"Madam, it's getting late. The Marquis should be waiting in the study." Jiang Jilian's voice came from behind the screen, and he walked out slowly. He was tall and straight, wearing a dark robe embroidered with gold thread, and his face was slightly majestic.

"My Lord, you are here." Lu Yundi stood up, bowed slightly, and then turned to the messenger, "My Lord has already known about your affairs. However, you should understand that it is not so easy to deal with the Zhenxing Marquisate."

The envoys looked at each other, and one of them stepped out and saluted Jiang Jilian: "My Lord, we are here on orders, and we hope to work together with the Zhenxing Marquisate to create a great cause."

Jiang Jilian nodded slightly and sat in the main seat. His eyes were deep and calm. "What exactly is the cooperation you are talking about?"

The envoys immediately explained in detail their purpose. It turned out that they represented a prince from a neighboring country and intended to form an alliance with the Zhenxing Marquisate to fight together.

Lu Yundi listened quietly at the side, with a complex look in her eyes. When the messenger finished speaking, she laughed softly: "Are you trying to test the position of our Zhenxing Marquisate?"
