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

The messengers were a little embarrassed, but one of them still answered bravely: "Madam, you misunderstood. We just hope that both parties can be honest with each other."

Jiang Jilian waved his hand, signaling the messenger not to be nervous: "Madam, what do you mean?"

Lu Yundi pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "My Lord, you know that I have always advocated neutrality and do not want to get involved too much in disputes between countries. But if it can really guarantee the peace of the people of Western Wei, how can I sit back and do nothing?"

Jiang Jilian nodded, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes: "Madam is right, the rise and fall of a country is the responsibility of every citizen. The pros and cons of this need to be carefully weighed."

It was not until late at night that the two sides reached some preliminary consensus. The envoys left Zhenxing Marquis Mansion with satisfaction, and Jiang Jilian and Lu Yundi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Madam, you did a great job today." Jiang Jilian looked at Lu Yundi with appreciation.

Lu Yundi smiled slightly: "My Lord, you are too kind. These are what I should do."

……

All Yu heard was Jiang Yuqi's repeated accusations. She felt a knot in her chest and an unbearable pain. When she opened her mouth, a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Yu was wearing a lavender silk dress, sitting on the stone steps, her face was as pale as paper, with a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. Her daughter Jiang Yuqi stood beside her, her eyes flashing with worry and anger.

"Mother, how are you?" Jiang Yuqi asked anxiously, tears glistening in her eyes.

Yu shook her head gently and forced a smile: "Yuqi, don't worry, mother is fine. It's just that my heart hurts a little, I'll be fine after a rest."

Jiang Yuqi held Yu's hand tightly, her eyes full of worry: "Mother, you can't go on like this. That old lady is clearly targeting you on purpose. We can't let her continue to bully you like this."

Yu patted Jiang Yuqi's hand gently and said with a smile: "Yuqi, mother knows your feelings. However, she is my mother-in-law, the old lady of Zhenxing Marquis Mansion, and I cannot be her enemy. Besides, all this is fate, I have already let it go."

Jiang Yuqi's eyes flashed with determination: "Mother, I won't let you suffer any more injustice. I will find a way to make that old lady stop bullying you."

Yu looked at her daughter, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart, but she still advised: "Yuqi, don't be impulsive. You have to know that the reputation of Zhenxing Marquis Mansion and the family are of vital importance to us. We can't damage the interests of the family because of a momentary impulse."

Jiang Yuqi was silent for a while, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes, but she still nodded: "Mother, I understand. I will endure the humiliation and wait for the opportunity."

Yu smiled and patted Jiang Yuqi's hand: "Good child, mother knows you are a smart child. Now, you accompany me to the garden for a walk, so that mother can take a good look at the spring scenery in the garden."

The two walked slowly into the garden, and Yu pointed at the blooming flowers and introduced them to Jiang Yuqi one by one. Although Jiang Yuqi was worried, she couldn't bear to reject her mother's kindness, so she listened to Yu's explanation patiently.

"Mother, look how bright this flower is, it's as beautiful as you." Jiang Yuqi said, pointing to a peony next to her.

Yu smiled, with a hint of emotion in her eyes: "Yes, peony is my favorite flower. Although it is gorgeous, it is not ostentatious, just like me, I just want to live quietly."

Jiang Yuqi gently held Yu's hand, with a firm look in her eyes: "Mother, I will let you live a quiet life. I will try my best to prevent that old lady from bullying you."

Yu looked at her daughter, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart, but she still advised: "Yuqi, you must remember that the honor and reputation of the family are more important than anything else. We can't damage the interests of the family because of a momentary personal grudge."

Jiang Yuqi nodded silently, with a firm look in her eyes: "Mother, I will remember your words. I will work hard to maintain the honor and reputation of the family."

As they continued to stroll in the garden, Yu's expression gradually relaxed and the pain on her face gradually disappeared. Jiang Yuqi looked at her mother with both worry and admiration.

The sun gradually set, and the flowers in the garden looked even more beautiful under the setting sun. Yu looked at her daughter, and a surge of gratitude welled up in her heart: "Yuqi, mother is really grateful to you. I feel extremely comforted to have you by my side."

Jiang Yuqi gently hugged Yu, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Mother, I will always be by your side and will not let you suffer any grievances again."

……

"Madam Gui, go and call Ji Lian and Ji Xin over to me!" Yu shouted.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Gui hurriedly responded and left. After a while, Jiang Jilian and Jiang Jixin walked into the room together.

Both of them were wearing plain blue robes, and their expressions showed their calmness and wit.

Jiang Jilian was walking in front, he was about 30 years old, tall, handsome, and had deep eyes. Jiang Jixin was a little younger, about 20 years old, with delicate features, and a casual demeanor.

"Mother, what do you want us to do?" Jiang Jilian spoke first in a calm voice.

Yu glanced at the two of them, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes. She sighed softly and said, "Have you two made any new discoveries recently?"

Jiang Jixin smiled slightly and said, "Mother, a few days ago, I found a rare copy of ancient military tactics in the library, and I was planning to study it."

Yu nodded slightly, then looked at Jiang Jilian and asked, "Jilian, what about you?"

Jiang Jilian pondered for a moment and said, "Mother, I am studying how to improve the industry in the mansion and take the family business to a higher level."

Upon hearing this, Yu's eyes flashed with approval. She said, "Very good, you two have your own thoughts, which is a good thing. But I didn't call you here today for these things."

After saying that, she stood up and walked to the armchair in the middle of the hall and sat down. Jiang Jilian and Jiang Jixin knelt down hurriedly, looking respectful.

"Mother, please give me your instructions." Jiang Jilian said respectfully.

Yu shi pondered for a moment and said, "Recently, I heard that there have been changes in the court. Do you know about this?"

Jiang Jilian and Jiang Jixin looked at each other and shook their heads.

Yu sighed and said, "There are undercurrents in the court, and we must be vigilant at all times. Especially you two, as the eldest and second sons of Zhenxing Marquis Mansion, you must shoulder the responsibility of the family."

Jiang Jilian and Jiang Jixin nodded seriously to show that they understood.

"Ji Lian, as the eldest son, you should be more stable and pay more attention to family affairs. As for Ji Xin, although you are young, you are thoughtful and you should also participate more in family affairs and not take it lightly." Yu warned.

Jiang Jilian and Jiang Jixin responded in unison: "We will follow our mother's instructions."

At this time, Aunt Gui came in with a plate of cakes and placed them on the table. Yu pointed at the cakes and said, "You two, get up first and eat some cakes."

Jiang Jilian and Jiang Jixin stood up hurriedly, picked up the cakes and started eating. Yu looked at them with a trace of kindness in her eyes.
