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

As for the apology to the Gao family, there was no response from Lu Yundi, and after several days of delay, Yu could no longer hold back.

"She was the one who locked the warehouse where the dowry was stored?" There was an imperceptible tremor in Yu's voice, and her eyes were as cold as ice, staring straight at Madam Liao.

Madam Liao was an elderly woman with silver hair, but her eyes were still sharp. She lowered her head and replied softly, "Yes, old lady, it was indeed the madam who locked the storeroom herself."

Yu's expression became increasingly ugly. She gently stroked the rosewood box on the table and remained silent for a moment before she slowly spoke: "This is the Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion, not her Lu family. Is she provoking me, the old lady?"

Madam Liao raised her head slightly, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes: "Madam, the lady is young and hot-tempered. Maybe it's just a momentary anger. Please be magnanimous."

At this time, Lu Yundi slowly walked into the house. There was no trace of guilt on her face, but a bit of provocation. She bowed to Yu and said softly, "Mother, your daughter-in-law is polite."

Yu looked at her coldly, her tone was chilly: "Yun Di, what are you doing?"

Lu Yundi smiled slightly and said calmly: "My daughter-in-law just wants to keep her dowry safe to avoid any loss."

Yu's face became even gloomier. She sneered, "Your dowry? Don't forget, you belong to the Zhenxing Marquisate now. Your dowry has long been the property of the Zhenxing Marquisate."

A trace of anger flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes, but she quickly suppressed her emotion and responded calmly: "Mother, I understand. But those dowries are my mother's relics, and I must keep them myself."

The atmosphere in the room became increasingly tense. Madam Liao was anxious, but she didn't know how to persuade them. She glanced at Yu secretly, and saw a hint of hesitation in the old lady's eyes.

Yu took a deep breath, trying to ease the atmosphere. She said softly, "Yun Di, since you are my daughter-in-law, you should understand the importance of family. Why have you been so slow to respond to the Gao family's apology these days?"

A hint of complexity flashed across Lu Yundi's eyes. She knew that this question could not be avoided. She sighed softly and replied, "Mother, I did not intend to delay. It's just that I think the Gao family's apology is not appropriate."

Yu frowned and said in a more serious tone: "What do you mean?"

Lu Yundi bit her lower lip and mustered up the courage to say, "Mother, although the Gao family's compensation is generous, we don't need many of the things in it. Your daughter-in-law thinks that we should distribute these properties to those who really need them."

There was silence in the room, and Yu's expression became complicated. She didn't expect that Lu Yundi would have such an idea. She looked at Lu Yundi deeply and said slowly: "Yundi, I appreciate your kindness. But don't forget, you are the wife of Zhenxing Marquis Mansion, and your behavior represents the entire family."

Lu Yundi lowered her head slightly and responded softly: "My daughter-in-law understands."

Yu sighed softly. She knew that this matter could not be rushed. She turned to Madam Liao and ordered, "Madam, go and prepare. I need to go to the storehouse myself."

Madam Liao left in response, while Madam Yu turned around and looked at Lu Yundi, her tone softening: "Yundi, I know you have good intentions. But in this family, there are some rules that cannot be broken. I hope you understand."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

After a while, Madam Liao came back with a heavy key in her hand. She walked up to Mrs. Yu and handed it to her respectfully: "Madam, the key to the storeroom is ready."

Yu took the key and turned to Madam Liao and said, "Madam, please accompany me to the storeroom."

The two walked out of the room together, and Lu Yundi followed behind. After passing through the winding corridor, they came to the storehouse of Zhenxing Marquis's mansion. The storehouse was filled with all kinds of valuables, including gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin.

Yu walked to a corner where there was a locked large box. She motioned to Liao Ma to open the box. When the box was opened, there were stacks of property deeds and many precious antiques inside.

Yu picked up a land deed and said to Madam Liao, "Madam, take a look at this deed. This is the foundation of our Zhenxing Marquisate. Over the years, our family has been able to prosper because of these properties."

Madam Liao nodded and said with emotion: "Old Madam, you are right. These are all precious treasures of our mansion."

At this time, Lu Yundi couldn't help but say, "Madam, these properties belong to our family, why can't we use them to help those poor people?"

Yu looked at her and smiled, "Yun Di, you have good intentions, but you should know that these assets belong not only to our family, but also to Western Wei. If we use them at will, it would be a betrayal to Western Wei. Moreover, helping others should be done in moderation and not violate the rules."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yundi lowered his head silently.

Yu continued, "Yun Di, I know you are a kind woman, but you must remember that in this family, you must learn to abide by the rules and respect your elders. Only in this way can you gain a firm foothold in this family."

Lu Yundi nodded gently, with a determined light in her eyes: "Old Madam, I will remember your teachings and try my best to be a well-behaved woman."

Yu nodded with satisfaction, turned around and said to Madam Liao, "Madam, sort out the things in the box. I want to give one third of them to Yundi."

Madam Liao was stunned and said hurriedly, "Madam, this is probably inappropriate. These properties belong to our mansion. How can we just give them to others?"

Yu smiled slightly and said, "Madam, have you forgotten what I said just now? These properties are not only ours, but also Western Wei's. I gave part of them to Yun Di so that she can make better contributions to Western Wei. Moreover, this is also a test for her."

Madam Liao understood Yu's intention and said no more. She began to pack the things in the box and said to Lu Yundi, "Yundi, you must cherish this opportunity and don't let the old lady down."

Lu Yundi nodded solemnly: "Mammy, I will."

The next morning, Lu Yundi went out early because the maid Xiang Zhu said that the people who were keeping an eye on Ye Wanxue had brought news that Ye Wanxue's husband Liu Mubai had returned.

Today, her husband Jiang Jilian is on leave, and Ye Wanxue's husband Liu Mubai is back. Is there such a coincidence in the world?

Lu Yundi frowned slightly, feeling an inexplicable anxiety in her heart. She wore a lavender cloak and walked out of the main gate of Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion with firm and hurried steps.

Upon seeing this, the servants in the mansion bowed and saluted one after another, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

"Madam, are you going to look for Ye Wanxue?" Xiang Zhu followed closely behind her and asked cautiously.
