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

"Grandma, Grandpa, don't worry, we will definitely avenge you." Jiang Yinli's voice was trembling, but full of determination.

Jiang Lili gently wiped away her tears, looked at the coffin, and prayed silently in her heart: "May your souls in heaven rest in peace."

At this time, an old servant from the mansion came over and whispered something to Jiang Jilian. Jiang Jilian's face changed slightly, and he turned to Jiang Yinli and Jiang Lili and said, "Wait here for a moment, I have something to deal with."

After Jiang Jilian left, Jiang Yinli and Jiang Lili quietly accompanied Lu Yundi in the mourning hall. They looked at Lu Yundi's pale face and couldn't help but feel pity in their hearts.

"Li Li, what do you think father is going to deal with?" Jiang Yinli asked softly.

Jiang Lili frowned slightly and said, "I guess it may be related to this incident."

As he was talking, a middle-aged man walked in. It was Lu Ming, the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion. He looked at Jiang Yinli and Jiang Lili, with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Yinli, Lili, have you ever heard the truth about this incident?" Lu Ming's voice was low, revealing an unquestionable majesty.

Jiang Yinli and Jiang Lili looked at each other and shook their heads.

Lu Ming sighed and said, "This incident is actually a conspiracy. Someone wants to take this opportunity to weaken the power of our Lu family and then take control of the entire city."

Jiang Lili's eyes flashed with surprise, and she asked, "Then how should we deal with it?"

Lu Ming pondered for a moment and said, "The most important thing now is that we must stabilize the situation and not let the conspiracy succeed. As for the specific response methods, we still need to think about it in the long run."

Jiang Yinli nodded and said, "We will do our best. Uncle Lu, don't worry."

As the three were talking, Jiang Jilian came back. He looked at Lu Ming with a hint of gratitude in his eyes and said, "Thank you for your concern, Steward Lu. We will work together to overcome this difficulty."

Lu Ming nodded slightly and said, "That's good. Our Lu family cannot fail in this conspiracy."

"This conspiracy seems to be aimed at our Lu family, but it actually concerns the safety of the entire city." Jiang Jilian said in a deep voice, "We can't just sit back and watch."

Lu Ming nodded in agreement: "Yes, we must join forces to fight this conspiracy together."

Jiang Jilian stared at Lu Ming with a sharp gaze, and said firmly: "Then, let's start from now on and formulate a countermeasure. Madam, what do you think?"

Lu Yundi sat aside with a solemn expression. After thinking for a moment, he slowly spoke: "This conspiracy is of great importance. We must make a long-term plan. I have an idea. Why don't we tell the elders in our family about this matter first and see what they think."

Lu Ming nodded slightly, expressing his agreement: "Madam is right, the elders are experienced, and their opinions are of vital importance to us."

"Madam, who do you think is behind this conspiracy?" Jiang Jilian asked with a frown.

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, with a trace of worry in his eyes: "It's hard to say. However, I think this matter must be related to some forces in the court. If we want to find the mastermind behind this, we must conduct an in-depth investigation."

Lu Ming interrupted: "Then where should we start our investigation?"

Jiang Jilian pondered for a moment and said, "I think we can start from two aspects. One is to investigate the strange events that have occurred in the city recently, and the other is to send people to the court to inquire about the news."

After the three of them agreed, they started to act separately. Jiang Jilian was responsible for investigating the strange events in the city, while Lu Yundi and Lu Ming were responsible for going to the court to gather information.

A few days later, Jiang Jilian found a suspicious place in the city. There was an abandoned house there, and the nearby residents avoided it, saying that it was haunted. Jiang Jilian thought there might be clues here, so he decided to investigate it himself.

As night fell, Jiang Ji and several servants quietly came to the abandoned house. The house was overgrown with weeds and in a state of disrepair. Just as they were about to enter the house, they suddenly heard a strange laugh.

"Who's there?" Jiang Jilian shouted in a deep voice.

The laughter stopped abruptly, and a figure slowly walked out. The man was dressed in black, with a ferocious face and a fierce light in his eyes.

"Who? Why are you here?" Jiang Jilian asked vigilantly.

The man in black sneered: "Jiang Jilian, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Jiang Jilian was shocked and immediately realized that this person was the mastermind. He clenched his fists and prepared to fight the man in black. However, the man in black suddenly turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared into the night.

Jiang Jilian was confused, but knew that this matter was of great importance and he had to inform Lu Yundi and Lu Ming immediately.

At the same time, Lu Yundi and Lu Ming also obtained important clues in the capital. They learned from a good friend that the mastermind behind the conspiracy was actually a minister in the court. The minister was dissatisfied with the emperor's decision and attempted to usurp the throne through this conspiracy.

Upon hearing the news, Lu Yundi and Lu Ming immediately returned to Lu Mansion and informed Jiang Jilian of the matter.

……

"Li Li, don't make trouble at this time. A strict teacher will produce a good student!" Ye Wanxue frowned, with a serious tone that could not be questioned. Jiang Lili's eyes flashed with a trace of grievance, but she still lowered her head obediently.

Jiang Jilian sat at the head of the table, holding a rosewood folding fan in his hand, tapping the table lightly. His eyes were deep, as if he was thinking about something important.

"Madam, you said Li Li is still young and doesn't understand these worldly ways." Jiang Ji Lian sighed and tried to defend his daughter.

"Young? She's already fifteen, not young anymore!" Ye Wanxue glanced at Jiang Jilian coldly, her tone full of dissatisfaction, "Look at her appearance, how can she look like a lady from a wealthy family?"

Jiang Lili blushed and bit her lip. She was about to explain, but she heard Jiang Jilian say, "Okay, Madam, Lili is still young. We should give her some time to learn and grow."

Ye Wanxue glared at Jiang Jilian but stopped talking. She turned her head and looked at Jiang Lili, her tone slowing down a bit: "Lili, remember, as the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Zhenxing, your every move represents the reputation of our Marquisate. If you don't learn well, how can you get married in the future?"

A trace of fear flashed in Jiang Lili's eyes. She knew that her mother's words were not alarmist.

She bit her lip and whispered, "My daughter knows, mother."

Jiang Jilian put down the folding fan in his hand, looked at Ye Wanxue, and sighed softly: "Madam, I know you have high expectations for Li Li, but you also know that she is not a naturally smart girl. We should give her some care and let her grow up happily."

In the back garden, Jiang Lili was sitting on a stone bench, holding a book in her hand, studying seriously. Ye Wanxue stood not far away, looking at her, her eyes full of satisfaction.

"Li Li, look, this is the Book of Songs that your mother prepared specially for you. If you can read this book well, it will be of great help to your poetry cultivation." Ye Wanxue walked over and handed the book in her hand to Jiang Li Li.
