Jiang Jilian listened to the conversation between Lu Yundi and the Lu family outside, and looked a little embarrassed.

Isn't it because of the wealth of the Lu family that he married the daughter of the Lu family? The Lu family is just a family of merchants, and they are really only interested in profit! But for now, he can't break up with the Lu family!

Jiang Jilian sat in the study, tapping his fingers unconsciously on the table, his eyes showing a bit of gloom. The conversation outside gradually faded away, but the embarrassment and unhappiness still lingered in his heart.

"My Lord, are you okay?" A voice sounded softly, and Lu Yundi pushed the door open. There was some concern in her eyes, but she couldn't hide a hint of arrogance.

Jiang Jilian raised his head and tried to look calm, "Yundi, you're here. Did you hear the conversation outside?"

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, with a sly look in his eyes. "I heard some of it. But I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Although our family is just a merchant, we can't just let people look down on us."

Jiang Jilian took a deep breath, trying to calm his displeasure. "Yun Di, don't you understand? In this chaotic world, we need not only wealth, but also status and power. Your family's wealth can certainly bring us temporary convenience, but if people look down on us because of it, then the gain will outweigh the loss."

Lu Yundi smiled softly, walked to Jiang Jilian, and patted his shoulder gently, "My Lord, you worry too much. Although our family values ​​profit, we are also good at foresight. In this chaotic world, who doesn't want an extra layer of security? Don't worry, I will let my family know the limits."

Jiang Jilian looked at Lu Yundi with a conflicted heart. He knew that the Lu family's wealth was of vital importance to them, but the commercialism and calculations behind this wealth disgusted him.

"My Lord, what's wrong with you?" Lu Yundi noticed something was wrong with Jiang Jilian and asked softly.

Jiang Jilian shook his head slightly. "It's okay, I just feel a little emotional. Yundi, do you think our marriage is just a transaction?"

Lu Yundi's eyes changed slightly, but soon returned to calm, "My Lord, don't you understand? In this chaotic world, marriage itself is a kind of transaction. We are lucky to meet each other. As for the content of the transaction, I think we all know it well."

Jiang Jilian was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "You're right, Yundi. We are all smart people and know what we are doing. As long as we can support each other and face the challenges of this troubled world together, then this deal may not be a bad thing."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a firm look in his eyes, "My Lord, I will do my best to help you consolidate your position and expand your power. However, I also hope that you can understand that the interests of my family cannot be violated."

Jiang Jilian nodded, and admired Lu Yundi's intelligence and decisiveness even more. "Don't worry, I will know when to stop. But, Yundi, there is something I want to ask you."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, "Please speak, my lord."

"Can you really trust those people in your family?" Jiang Jilian's eyes flashed with doubt.

Lu Yundi's eyes turned cold. "My Lord, everyone in my family was hand-picked by me. They are loyal and reliable. They will not betray me, let alone you."

Jiang Jilian looked at Lu Yundi and felt touched. He knew that Lu Yundi had taken his concerns to heart, and this trust made him feel warm.

"Okay, I believe you." Jiang Jilian patted Lu Yundi's hand gently, his eyes full of anticipation.

……

In the evening, Lu Yundi was struggling to find a reason to expel Jiang Jilian, when she suddenly felt a warmth in her abdomen. She went to the purification room to check and was immediately delighted.

Ever since that "miscarriage", her menstruation has become extremely irregular, which must have been caused by the fake and genuine drugs that Jiang Jilian gave her.

"Husband, I..."

Lu Yundi leaned over and whispered something in Jiang Jilian's ear.

Jiang Jilian's eyes flashed with doubt, but he still listened patiently to Lu Yundi's whispers. As Lu Yundi's voice gradually faded, his brows relaxed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Really? Madam, this... is this true?" Jiang Jilian's voice was trembling a little. He held Lu Yundi's hand tightly, his eyes full of anticipation.

Lu Yundi nodded gently, with a faint blush on her face: "Yes, husband, the warmth in my belly and the regularity of my menstrual period, I think, maybe it is God's blessing that I can have a child again."

Jiang Jilian stood up excitedly, the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground with a thud, and he didn't even bother to pick it up. He hugged Lu Yundi tightly, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly disappear: "Madam, this is really great news! We are finally going to have a child!"

Lu Yundi felt Jiang Jilian's joy, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart, but she still maintained some rationality: "Husband, we need to be cautious about this matter. After all, I had a miscarriage before..."

Jiang Jilian immediately understood Lu Yundi's worries. He patted her back gently and comforted her, "Don't worry, Madam. I will take good care of you and the child and won't let that happen again. I will invite the best doctors and use the best medicines to ensure the safety of you and the child."

In the following days, everyone in Zhenxing Marquis's mansion was immersed in joy. Jiang Jilian took great care of Lu Yundi, personally stewing tonic for her every day and personally supervising the imperial physician to check her pulse.

One day, Jiang Jilian was discussing matters with his staff in the study. Lu Yundi was sitting alone in front of the window, looking at the spring scenery outside, feeling a little uneasy.

"Madam, what's wrong with you?" A clear and beautiful voice came from the second lady of Zhenxing Marquis' Mansion, Jiang Yuqi.

Lu Yundi came back to his senses and smiled slightly: "Nothing, I'm just a little worried about the child."

Jiang Yuqi gently sat beside Lu Yundi and held her hand: "Don't worry, sister. Father has already told the servants to take good care of you. Besides, you are pregnant now, so you should stay in a good mood."

Lu Yundi nodded. She looked at Jiang Yuqi and couldn't help but think of her daughter. She sighed softly, "Yes, I also hope that the child can come into this world healthy and safe."

As they were talking, Jiang Jilian came out of the study. Seeing Lu Yundi and Jiang Yuqi, he smiled and said, "Madam, Second Miss, are you guys chatting here?"

Lu Yundi and Jiang Yuqi stood up at the same time. Jiang Jilian walked to Lu Yundi and gently touched her belly: "Madam, you should pay more attention to your health and don't get tired."

Lu Yundi looked at Jiang Jilian's concerned eyes, and her heart felt even warmer. She smiled gently: "Don't worry, my husband. I will pay attention."
