"Wanxue, I want to tell you something."

That night, Zhenxing Hou Jiang Jilian embraced Ye Wanxue. The moonlight shone into his deep eyes, reflecting a solemn look.

Ye Wanxue raised her head slightly, with a flash of surprise in her eyes.

Jiang Jilian never mentioned important things easily, so she nodded gently and said softly: "My Lord, please go ahead, Wanxue is listening."

Jiang Jilian took a deep breath and said slowly: "Wanxue, I plan to ask the court to make you my principal wife."

After hearing these words, Ye Wanxue was stunned for a moment, her heartbeat accelerated, and her eyes were full of astonishment. She had never thought that Jiang Jilian would do this.

This means that she replaces the current wife, Lu Yundi, and becomes the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion.

"My Lord, this... is this true?" Ye Wanxue's voice trembled slightly as she tried to confirm it all.

Jiang Jilian nodded firmly, his eyes full of determination: "Yes, Wanxue. Over the years, you have been silently by my side and devoted to me. I can't let you suffer any grievances anymore. I want you to be my legitimate wife."

Tears welled up in Ye Wanxue's eyes. She held Jiang Jilian's hand tightly and whispered, "My Lord, I am grateful to you. But...but isn't this too risky? After all, the wife of the first wife..."

Jiang Jilian sneered, "She? She's just a decoration. I was able to marry her back then only because of the power of the Marquis' Mansion. Now, she has lost her value. Moreover, I have already investigated clearly that she has an affair outside. This is what she deserves."

Ye Wanxue was silent for a moment. She knew that Jiang Jilian's decision was unquestionable. She sighed softly and said, "My Lord, Wanxue is willing to follow you, but we need to be cautious. After all, this matter involves the interests of the Marquis's Mansion, and we cannot be easily shaken."

Jiang Jilian nodded, patted Ye Wanxue's shoulder gently, and said, "Don't worry, I have a comprehensive plan. I will let the people in the Marquis' Mansion accept you slowly and let them know that you are my only one."

……

The night was quiet and deep, with only the faint candlelight swaying in the house. Jiang Jilian took off his coat, revealing the crisscrossing thorn marks on his back. Ye Wanxue's eyes flashed with a trace of heartache, which then turned into an unspeakable sorrow.

Ye Wanxue slowly walked to Jiang Jilian's side, gently stroking the shocking scars, tears welled up in her eyes, but never fell. She bit her lip, her voice trembling a little: "My Lord, what is this for? Why do you torture yourself like this?"

Jiang Jilian smiled bitterly and tried to answer in a relaxed tone: "It's just a small matter, Wanxue, don't take it to heart."

However, the good times did not last long. One day, the Zhenxing Marquis's mansion was suddenly attacked by the enemy. Jiang Jilian led the servants to fight hard, while Ye Wanxue organized everyone to retreat in the mansion. At this time, Ye Wanxue suddenly found a familiar face among the enemy.

She was a woman dressed in black, with cold eyes and a sharp dagger in her hand.

Ye Wanxue's heart tightened. This woman was Jiang Jilian's enemy. She took a deep breath and decided to face this woman in person.

Ye Wanxue walked out of the mansion and stood opposite the woman in black. She looked at the woman in black and a sense of determination surged in her heart.

"Who are you? Why do you want to harm my Marquis?" Ye Wanxue asked coldly.

The woman in black sneered: "It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I want you to know Jiang Jilian's sins."

Ye Wanxue's eyes flashed with anger. She swung the sword in her hand and started a fierce battle with the woman in black. The sword light was like rain and the wind was cold. The two fought back and forth, trying their best.

Finally, Ye Wanxue stabbed the woman in black at the critical moment. The woman in black fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. She looked at Ye Wanxue with a trace of unwillingness in her eyes, and then she lost consciousness.

Ye Wanxue looked at the body of the woman in black and felt a surge of sadness in her heart.

She returned to the Marquis' Mansion and looked at Jiang Jilian's exhausted figure, feeling guilty. She walked gently to Jiang Jilian's side, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and said softly, "My Lord, I'm back. From now on, I will do my best to protect you."

……

"Help me up, I...I still have to go to Lu's house." Jiang Jilian lay on the bed, trying to get up with his hands. Ye Wanxue's eyes were complicated, with both worry and helplessness. She slowly walked to the bed and gently held his arm.

"My Lord, can your body handle it?" Ye Wanxue's voice was gentle and concerned, and her eyes revealed deep worry.

Jiang Jilian shook his head slightly, but a bitter smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "It doesn't matter, I have to go to the Lu family. This is related to the reputation of my Zhenxing Marquis Mansion, I can't just sit back and watch."

Lu Yundi sat on a chair nearby, his face as gloomy as water.

She spoke slowly, trying to be as calm as possible: "My Lord, have you really decided to go to the Lu family?"

"Madam, what do you think I should do?" Jiang Jilian turned to look at Lu Yundi with a questioning look in his eyes.

Lu Yundi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "I know I have caused you trouble, but now that things have come to this, we can only face it. However, my Lord, your health is the most important. If anything happens to you, what will happen to our Zhenxing Marquisate?"

Ye Wanxue felt mixed emotions as she listened to the conversation between the two.

She sighed softly and said to Jiang Jilian, "My Lord, I will go to the Lu family with you. Maybe I can help you solve some problems."

Jiang Jilian looked at Ye Wanxue, a trace of gratitude flashing in his eyes: "Okay, then I'll trouble you."

The four of them went to Lu's house together, and the atmosphere was heavy along the way. After arriving at Lu's house, Jiang Jilian walked straight into the hall, followed by Ye Wanxue and Lu Yundi.

The head of the Lu family, Lu Bochang, had already been waiting in the hall. He looked at Jiang Jilian with a trace of embarrassment and guilt on his face: "Lord Jiang, I'm really sorry to ask you to come here in person."

Jiang Jilian smiled coldly: "Lord Lu, the relationship between us doesn't seem to require such politeness."

Lu Bochang smiled awkwardly and turned to Lu Yundi: "Yundi, come here and apologize to Lord Jiang."

Lu Yundi bit her lip, walked slowly to Jiang Jilian, and bowed her head slightly: "Lord Jiang, I'm sorry, my previous behavior has caused you trouble, please forgive me."

Jiang Jilian looked at Lu Yundi with a complicated expression in his eyes. He nodded gently: "Okay, now that it has happened, let's reflect on ourselves. However, I hope that the Lu family will not interfere in the affairs of our Zhenxing Marquisate in the future."

Lu Bochang nodded quickly: "Lord Jiang, don't worry, our Lu family will not interfere in your family's affairs anymore."

Ye Wanxue stood aside, looking at Jiang Jilian and Lu Yundi, feeling mixed emotions in her heart.

She sighed softly and swore to herself that she must be more careful in the future and not let something like this happen again.

Jiang Jilian stayed at the Lu family for a while, then took Ye Wanxue and Lu Yundi back to the Zhenxing Marquis Mansion.
