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

Lu Yundi snorted coldly and sneered: "My Lu family has a fortune, it's not that we can't support me! Who do you think you are?" After that, she turned to face Jiang Jilian, with a hint of arrogance in her eyes.

Jiang Jilian took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and responded calmly: "Madam, you misunderstood. I am just worried that you are spoiling your daughter too much, and she will develop a spoiled character and it will be difficult for her to gain a foothold in the world in the future."

Lu Yundi's eyes widened and he said angrily, "Are you teaching me a lesson? Jiang Jilian, don't forget, I am your wife, not your subordinate!"

The atmosphere between the two men became increasingly tense, and the servants around them all lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.

At this time, a maid came over and carefully handed over a cup of tea, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

Jiang Jilian took the teacup, blew on it gently, and said, "Madam, I know you love your daughter, but as the wife of the Marquis's mansion, you should understand that it is your responsibility to educate your children. If you let her develop a spoiled character, how can she get married in the future, and how can she become a qualified wife?"

Lu Yundi's expression became uglier and uglier. She stared at Jiang Jilian and gritted her teeth and said, "Jiang Jilian, are you threatening me? Do you think that I, the Lu family, have no one and can let you do whatever you want?"

Jiang Jilian shook his head and said firmly, "Madam, I am not threatening you. I just hope you can understand that as the wife of the Marquis's mansion, your behavior represents the face of the entire family. If you keep doting on your daughter, I am afraid that she will go astray."

Lu Yundi was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at Jiang Jilian and shouted angrily: "Jiang Jilian, dare you say that again!"

Jiang Jilian looked at her calmly and said word by word: "Madam, please respect yourself. If you continue to act unreasonably like this, I will have to ask the servants to send you back to your room."

Lu Yundi's face turned pale. She didn't expect Jiang Jilian to say such a thing. She gritted her teeth, suppressed her anger, and sneered, "Okay, Jiang Jilian, wait. I'll let you know that the Lu family is not easy to mess with!"

After saying that, she turned and left, her footsteps echoing in the empty house. Jiang Jilian looked at her back and sighed in his heart.

As night fell, the lights in the mansion were bright. Jiang Jilian sat alone in the study, the brush in his hand dancing lightly on the paper. At this time, a maid came in and whispered, "My Lord, the lady wants you to come over."

Jiang Jilian put down the pen in his hand, stood up and walked towards Lu Yundi's room. When he opened the door, he saw Lu Yundi sitting in front of the window, looking at him with resentful eyes.

Jiang Jilian walked over, gently held her hand, and said softly, "Madam, I know you are upset, but please believe me, I am doing this for your own good."

Lu Yundi looked at him, her eyes flickered with a wave, but soon she regained her composure. She gently pulled her hand back and said, "My Lord, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I also hope you can understand me. As a mother, I just want my daughter to live a happy life."

Jiang Jilian sighed and said, "Madam, I understand your difficulties. But please believe that only by making her an independent and strong woman can she have true happiness."

Lu Yundi was silent for a moment, then nodded gently: "Okay, Lord, I'll listen to you. But you have to promise me not to be too harsh on her."

Jiang Jilian smiled and nodded: "I promise you, ma'am."

……

Lu Yundi looked at Chu Qirui opposite him and said calmly, "Young Marquis, you have solved my doubts. Can we leave now?"

Lu Yundi's words floated gently in the air, and beneath her calm tone, there was a subtle sense of alienation.

Chu Qirui frowned slightly, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, then he returned to normal, smiled faintly, and spoke slowly.

"That's too polite. Now that your doubts have been resolved, you can leave at any time." Chu Qirui's voice was as gentle as jade, but with a hint of unquestionable firmness.

Lu Yundi nodded gently and was about to stand up when Chu Qirui suddenly said, "However, I have something to ask of you. Madam, would you be so kind as to do me a favor?"

She paused for a moment, frowned slightly, but still sat back in her seat and looked at him calmly: "Young Marquis, please speak."

Chu Qirui stared at Lu Yundi with his deep eyes, and said sincerely: "I recently received a letter that mentioned a strange spice that is said to cure insomnia. I know that Madam has suffered from insomnia in recent years, so I want to find it for you. What do you think?"

Lu Yundi's eyes moved slightly. His insomnia had become a well-known secret. He couldn't help but feel touched, but he remained calm on the surface: "Thank you for your concern, young marquis. However, is this spice really reliable?"

Chu Qirui smiled slightly, his eyes full of confidence: "I have sent people to verify it. This spice does exist and has significant effects. I am willing to guarantee it with my life. It is absolutely true."

Lu Yundi looked at him, her heart slightly moved, Chu Qirui was not a rash person, since he said so, then this spice should have a certain effect. She pondered for a moment, and finally said: "In this case, then I will trouble you, young marquis."

Chu Qirui heard this, a glimmer of joy flashed in his eyes, and he nodded gently: "I will definitely live up to your trust."

"Young Marquis, have you been doing well recently?" Lu Yundi suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

Chu Qirui smiled slightly, his eyes full of warmth: "I am fine, but sometimes I think of the time I spent with my wife."

Lu Yundi's heart moved. Chu Qirui had always had a special feeling for her, but there was a gap between them, so this feeling could only be buried deep in his heart.

"Madam, do you still remember the time when we admired the flowers in the garden together?" Chu Qirui suddenly asked, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

Lu Yundi nodded gently, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes: "Remember, we were still very young and carefree back then."

"Madam, if those things had not happened to us back then, what do you think we would be like now?" Chu Qirui suddenly asked, his eyes full of anticipation.

Lu Yundi smiled slightly and sighed softly: "Young Marquis, the past is the past, we cannot change it. Now, we can only cherish the time in front of us."

Chu Qirui looked at Lu Yundi. Although he felt a little regretful, he also understood what Lu Yundi meant. He nodded slightly, his eyes full of determination: "I understand, Madam, I will do my best to find that spice for you in the future so that you will no longer suffer from insomnia."

Lu Yundi looked at Chu Qirui and couldn't help feeling a little grateful.

She raised her lips slightly, with a soft light in her eyes: "Young Marquis Chu, I am very grateful for your thoughtfulness. But this spice is precious and rare, please don't spend too much energy on it."

Chu Qirui smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Madam, rest assured, since I promised you, I will definitely do it. Besides, if this spice can relieve your insomnia, I will have done my part."
