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

Mrs. Lu's heart tightened, and she quickened her pace and went straight to Jiang Jilian's study. When she opened the door, she saw Jiang Jilian, who looked tired and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Jiang Jilian, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Lu asked in a serious tone.

Jiang Jilian raised his head and saw Madam Lu. A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he regained his composure. He said in a deep voice, "Mother-in-law, something big has happened. I recently discovered that someone is secretly manipulating and trying to destroy the peace of my town. I am investigating this matter, but there are too few clues and progress is slow."

Mrs. Lu frowned and thought to herself: This matter is indeed not simple.

She took a deep breath and said, "Jiang Jilian, I know you are very busy now, but I must remind you that Di'er is my daughter, and you should be aware of her feelings for you. If you truly cherish this marriage, you should give her a safe home."

Jiang Jilian was silent for a moment, with a trace of guilt in his eyes. He looked at Madam Lu and said in a heavy tone, "Mother-in-law, I know I am sorry to Di'er. But at this critical moment, I must put the peace of the country first. I will resolve this matter as soon as possible, and then return to Di'er and give her an explanation."

Mrs. Lu nodded slightly. Although she still had some doubts in her heart, Jiang Jilian was a responsible person. She said, "Okay, I believe you. But you have to remember that Di'er is my daughter and she needs your love and care. Don't let her wait too long."

Jiang Jilian nodded solemnly, saying that he would remember Madam Lu's words. Madam Lu then left Zhenxing Marquis Mansion with peace of mind.

When he got home, Lu Yundi asked hurriedly, "Mom, is the problem solved?"

Mrs. Lu smiled slightly, patted Lu Yundi's shoulder gently, and said, "Di'er, don't worry. Things have taken a turn for the better. You just need to wait patiently."

……

Jiang Jilian felt a lump in his throat. It was like adding insult to injury as things kept coming out one after another.

He rubbed his temple tiredly, and saw Lu Yundi walking out slowly from behind the screen. There was worry and determination in her eyes.

"Jilian, you don't have to be so anxious. I'm here for everything." Lu Yundi's voice was soft and firm. She walked to Jiang Jilian and patted his shoulder gently.

Jiang Jilian raised his head and looked into Lu Yundi's confident eyes, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, these things are happening one after another, and I really can't handle it."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a sly look in her eyes: "Husband, don't forget, you still have me. We can face it together and always find a solution."

The two sat opposite each other. Jiang Jilian picked up the teacup, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Madam, do you know what happened in Zhenxing Marquis's mansion recently?"

Lu Yundi nodded slightly: "I have heard a little bit about it. It is said that it is because someone in the mansion embezzled public funds, which caused the mansion's financial difficulties. But there must be something fishy about it. After all, the mansion has always been strict and such things will not happen easily."

Jiang Jilian sighed, "Yes, that's exactly what I'm worried about. Moreover, this matter involves a distant relative of mine who now holds an important position in the palace. If he is really corrupt, then as the Marquis of Zhenxing, I cannot escape the blame."

A gleam of light flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes: "My husband, if this is the case, we must take a long-term view. We must find out the truth of the matter and not let innocent people be implicated. If it is really him who is corrupt, we cannot tolerate it and must punish him severely."

Jiang Jilian looked at Lu Yundi with appreciation: "Madam is right, that's exactly what I meant. But this matter involves a lot of seriousness, we need a foolproof plan."

Lu Yundi pondered for a moment and said, "My husband, we can start from two aspects. On the one hand, we can secretly send people to investigate this matter and make sure to get to the bottom of it. On the other hand, we can hold a banquet in the mansion and invite all the officials to come. We can take the opportunity to observe their reactions and perhaps find clues from them."

Jiang Jilian nodded in agreement: "Madam is really smart, I will arrange it right away."

Halfway through the banquet, Qiao Wenjie suddenly stood up, walked to Jiang Jilian, bowed and said, "My Lord, the finances of your residence have been tight recently. I am a little worried, so I came to report to you."

Jiang Jilian smiled slightly: "Qiao Wenjie, you have worked hard, sit down. I have handed over the financial matters to my wife, she will take care of it."

After Qiao Wenjie sat down, his eyes unconsciously drifted towards Lu Yundi. Lu Yundi smiled slightly, his eyes like water, gently swept over Qiao Wenjie, and he already had some confidence in his heart.

After the banquet, Jiang Jilian and Lu Yundi returned to the study and began to analyze what they had seen and heard tonight. Lu Yundi said, "My husband, I think Qiao Wenjie's behavior is a bit suspicious. He specifically brought up financial issues tonight, as if he was testing our reaction."

Jiang Jilian nodded: "Yes, I also think he has some intentions. Madam, how do you think we should deal with it?"

A hint of determination flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes: "Husband, we can't just sit there and wait for death. Tomorrow, I will personally investigate this matter and make sure to get to the bottom of it."

Jiang Jilian looked at Lu Yundi affectionately: "Madam, you are really my good wife. I will go with you. We are a couple who are united and can break any obstacle together."

As the night deepened, the candlelight in the study flickered, shining on the faces of Jiang Jilian and Lu Yundi, appearing particularly bright.

Lu Yundi gently held Jiang Jilian's hand and said firmly, "My husband, Qiao Wenjie must have some ulterior motive for this. We can't let him succeed so easily. We must take the initiative."

Jiang Jilian nodded slightly, with a gleam of ruthlessness in his eyes: "Madam is right. However, Qiao Wenjie has a special status, so we can't do it lightly. Let's go visit him tomorrow and find out the truth."

Lu Yundi smiled lightly, with a sly look in her eyes: "Husband, I have an idea. Let's take Xiao Cui to visit Qiao Wenjie tomorrow. Xiao Cui is smart and clever, maybe she can help us find some clues."

Jiang Jilian clapped his hands in admiration: "Madam, this is a brilliant idea! Xiao Cui is indeed a reliable candidate. Then we'll do it this way."

……

The next day, the sun was shining brightly, and Jiang Jilian and Lu Yundi took Xiao Cui to Qiao Wenjie's residence. Qiao Wenjie had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw them, he greeted them warmly.

Qiao Wenjie smiled widely: "Brother Jiang, Sister Yundi, you are here. I have prepared some wine and food, let's eat and chat at the same time."

The three of them sat down, and Qiao Wenjie personally poured wine for Jiang Jilian and Lu Yundi. After three rounds of wine, Qiao Wenjie suddenly changed the subject: "Brother Jiang, Sister Yundi, what do you think about the financial issues at the banquet last night?"

Jiang Jilian smiled slightly and said calmly: "Brother Qiao, what do you think?"

Qiao Wenjie's eyes flickered, with a hint of cunning on his lips: "I just mentioned it casually, but I didn't expect it to attract your attention. In fact, I just wanted to know about the financial situation of your family."

Lu Yundi sneered: "Brother Qiao, are you really just mentioning this casually? I always feel that you have some ulterior motive."

Qiao Wenjie's eyes froze, and his smile became a little awkward: "Sister Yundi, you misunderstood. I'm really just curious."
