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

After returning to the mansion, Jiang Jilian sat down on the chair tiredly. Ye Wanxue and Lu Yundi stood beside him, not knowing what to say.

Suddenly, Jiang Jilian looked up at Ye Wanxue: "Wanxue, how do you think we should deal with this matter?"

Ye Wanxue was slightly stunned, then slowly spoke: "My Lord, I think we should start from the inside and strengthen the management of the mansion to prevent similar things from happening again. At the same time, we must keep a low profile to the outside world and try to reduce unnecessary trouble."

Jiang Jilian nodded, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "You are right, we can't let this happen again. From now on, all matters of the mansion, big or small, must be strictly controlled."

……

The next day.

The red gate of Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion slowly opened, and the carriage slowly drove in. Ye Wanxue sat in the carriage, with a thin layer of anger on her face. Jiang Jilian sat opposite her, his eyes were deep, but his expression was indifferent, as if he didn't care about Ye Wanxue's irritability.

"So what if the carriage hits you? Why are you in such a hurry?" Ye Wanxue said a little irritably, her brows were furrowed and there was a hint of anger in her eyes.

Jiang Jilian smiled lightly, but that smile seemed so ironic to Ye Wanxue. He slowly said, "It's just a small matter. Is it worth you being so angry?"

Ye Wanxue's eyes widened as she looked at Jiang Jilian: "A small matter? Do you know who was sitting in that carriage? He was the only son of the Minister of Rites. If anything happened to him, wouldn't the reputation of our Zhenxing Marquisate be ruined?"

Jiang Jilian's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. He chuckled and said, "How much is reputation worth? If something really goes wrong, I will step forward and take responsibility."

Ye Wanxue was furious when she heard this. She stood up suddenly and pointed at Jiang Jilian: "You...what's your attitude? Don't you know your identity and status? If something happens to you, the entire Zhenxing Marquis Mansion will be implicated."

Jiang Jilian looked at Ye Wanxue's excitement, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He shook his head gently: "Xue'er, don't you understand? If I do everything according to plan, I might as well die."

Ye Wanxue was stunned. She looked at Jiang Jilian with a hint of doubt and shock in her eyes. She had seen Jiang Jilian so serious before, and for a moment, she was speechless.

The carriage drove slowly along the path in the mansion, and the scenery on both sides flashed by the window. Jiang Jilian looked at the scenery outside the window, but his mind was filled with other thoughts.

"Jilian, do you know? I've been wondering why we have come to this point today." Ye Wanxue's voice broke the silence. She looked at Jiang Jilian with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Jiang Jilian turned his head and looked at Ye Wanxue, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes: "Xue'er, I know, I have always thought that if I had been more determined at the beginning, perhaps everything would be different."

Ye Wanxue sighed softly, and she held Jiang Jilian's hand: "Jilian, we can't go on like this. We must cherish the time in front of us and not let ourselves get hurt again."

Jiang Jilian looked at Ye Wanxue, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes, and he held Ye Wanxue's hand tightly: "Xue'er, you are right, we can't let the shadow of the past cover our lives anymore."

The carriage stopped at the back garden of Zhenxing Marquis's mansion, and the two got off and walked along the path in the garden. As the night deepened, the lanterns in the garden slowly lit up, adding a bit of vitality to the quiet night.

"Ji Lian, look, the plum blossoms over there are blooming." Ye Wanxue pointed to a plum blossom not far away, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes.

Jiang Jilian looked in the direction of Ye Wanxue's finger. The plum blossom looked particularly beautiful in the night. His heart moved, and he said softly, "Xue'er, do you know? I always feel that this plum blossom is like you, independent and beautiful."

Hearing this, Ye Wanxue showed a shy smile: "Ji Lian, you are making fun of me again."

Jiang Jilian shook his head gently: "No, Xueer, I'm serious. I'm really grateful to have met you and to be able to spend the rest of my life with you."

The two smiled at each other, and the barriers in their hearts seemed to disappear at this moment.

However, at this moment, a guard came hurriedly, with a trace of anxiety on his face: "My Lord, something bad has happened. Someone outside the mansion wants to see you, saying that there is an urgent matter to report."

Jiang Jilian and Ye Wanxue looked at each other, knowing that this emergency must be very serious. They turned around and walked out of the house, but each of them had their own worries in their hearts.

Jiang Jilian walked with steady steps, and Ye Wanxue followed closely behind. The two had solemn expressions and remained silent. The cold wind outside the mansion blew their clothes, making them look particularly desolate. When they arrived at the mansion gate, they saw a young man in cloth waiting anxiously. When he saw Jiang Jilian and Ye Wanxue appear, he immediately knelt on one knee, his face full of worry: "My Lord, Madam, the matter is urgent. Let me report it in detail."

Jiang Jilian waved his hand, motioning him to stand up, and asked calmly, "Tell me, what's making you so anxious?"

The young man stood up tremblingly, took a breath, and said, "My Lord, Madam, a mysterious team suddenly appeared outside the city. They are large in number and appear to be attacking the capital of Western Wei. They have already stationed outside the city and seem to be able to launch an attack at any time."

Jiang Jilian and Ye Wanxue looked at each other, their faces becoming more solemn. Jiang Jilian pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you know the origin and purpose of this team?"

The young man shook his head and said, "I have been trying to find out their details for a long time, but I still cannot find out their details. I only know that they are well-disciplined and have strong fighting power. If they really want to launch an attack, the capital of Western Wei may not be able to resist."

Ye Wanxue frowned slightly and said worriedly, "My Lord, what should we do? We must come up with a plan as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Jiang Jilian pondered for a moment, then turned to the young man and said, "You go down and rest first. I have my own ideas." After that, he turned to Ye Wanxue and said, "Madam, this matter is of great importance. We need to gather all the generals immediately to discuss countermeasures."

A general stood up and said anxiously: "My Lord, we must send troops to reinforce the capital immediately, otherwise the day the city falls will be the day when the Western Wei Dynasty will be destroyed."

Another general said worriedly: "My Lord, is it too late for us to send reinforcements now? Moreover, we have no idea where this mysterious team came from. If we attack rashly, we may be ambushed by the enemy."

Jiang Jilian pondered for a long time, and suddenly his eyes became sharp as torches as he scanned everyone: "Everyone, I think we should send out scouts first to investigate the enemy situation. At the same time, we should strengthen the defense of the capital city just in case. As for the reinforcements, we will make a decision based on the changes in the enemy situation."

After hearing this, everyone expressed their agreement.

Ye Wanxue returned to the Marquis' Mansion and said anxiously to Jiang Jilian, "My Lord, the scouts have sent us news that the mysterious army has begun to attack the capital. We must make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise the capital will be in danger."
