As soon as Lu Yundi returned to the Lu family, Mrs. Lu immediately came to greet him and said, "Are you injured anywhere? Please ask the doctor to take a look."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes. She shook her head gently and said softly, "Mother, I'm fine, just a little tired from the journey." After that, she gently brushed away the dust on her robe and glanced around the mansion, as if looking for something.

Mrs. Lu's eyes were gentle. She gently held her daughter's hand and looked her up and down, as if she wanted to take everything about her daughter in. She said softly, "Di'er, do you know how worried your mother was about you during your absence? Your safe return today really comforts your mother."

Lu Yundi felt warm in her heart, and she held her mother's hand tightly, smiling and saying, "Mom, I know you are worried, but I have grown up, and I have to learn to face some things on my own. Besides, haven't I returned safely?"

As the two were talking, a maid hurried in, holding a plate of steaming snacks in her hands, and said, "Madam, Miss, these are snacks that the kitchen has just made, specially prepared for Miss to welcome you."

Madam Lu nodded slightly and said, "Put it here." After the maid left, she turned to her daughter and said, "Di'er, you are tired from the journey. Eat something first. I will take you to see your father later."

Lu Yundi nodded gently, picked up a piece of dessert, put it in her mouth, and chatted with her mother while eating. She looked at her mother and found that her mother seemed to be worried, so she asked with concern: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Is there something bothering you?"

Madam Lu was slightly startled, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. She sighed softly and said, "It's nothing, but your father has been busy with trivial matters in the court during this period, and I am worried that he will be too tired. In addition, during the time you were away from home, there were many affairs in the mansion, and I couldn't cope with it."

Lu Yundi gently patted his mother's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. I'm back now. I will help you deal with the affairs in the mansion. As for father, I will persuade him to take care of his health and not to overwork himself."

A trace of relief flashed in Mrs. Lu's eyes. She gently patted her daughter's hand and said, "Di'er, mother really can't live without you anymore. But you just came back, so you still need to rest."

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the main hall. Lu Yundi's father, Lord Lu, was sitting on a chair, holding a roll of official documents in his hand, his brows furrowed. When he saw them come in, he put down the documents and stood up to greet them.

"Di'er, you're back." Lord Lu's eyes were full of concern. He gently patted his daughter's shoulder and said, "Your mother has been worried about you a lot during this period."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly and said, "Father, I know you and mother are worried about me, but I am back safely. Please rest assured that I will take good care of myself and my family."

As he was speaking, a servant hurried in, holding a letter in his hand, and said, "Sir, this is an urgent letter from the court."

Lord Lu took the letter, opened it, and his face suddenly became serious. He sighed softly, handed the letter to Mrs. Lu, and said, "Madam, it seems that I will be away for a while again."

Mrs. Lu took the letter and after reading it, her face became worried. She gently patted her husband's shoulder and said, "My husband, you work hard for the country, and I am proud of you. But you should also take care of your health and don't overwork yourself."

Lu Yundi looked at his parents and couldn't help feeling a little heavy in his heart.

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, her eyes showing gratitude to her mother. She shook her head gently and said softly, "Mother, I'm fine. It's just some flesh wounds. There's no need to bother the doctor."

Mrs. Lu was still worried, and looked at her daughter carefully, as if she wanted to find signs of injury from every subtle change in her expression. She gently held her daughter's hand, and a warm and firm strength came from her palm.

"Yundi, are you really okay?" Mrs. Lu's voice was trembling slightly.

"Well, I'm really fine, mother." Lu Yundi gently patted his mother's hand, trying to reassure her.

The two walked into the hall and sat on the exquisite rosewood chairs. There was a faint aroma in the hall, and the calligraphy and paintings hanging around set off an antique atmosphere. Lu Yundi's eyes unconsciously fell on a landscape painting, which was her favorite painting.

"Mother, this painting is still so beautiful." Lu Yundi said softly.

Mrs. Lu smiled slightly, with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes: "Yes, this is your father's favorite painting when he was alive. He always said that the landscape in this painting can bring peace to people's hearts."

During the conversation, their eyes met, and Mrs. Lu seemed to want to say something, but she held it back. Lu Yundi noticed her mother's hesitation and asked softly, "Mother, do you have anything to say to me?"

Madam Lu sighed and her expression became serious: "Yun Di, do you know the recent situation in the court?"

Lu Yundi was slightly startled. Although she didn't care much about state affairs, her mother's worry made her feel a little uneasy: "Mother, I heard that the emperor has been unwell recently and the government is a bit turbulent."

Mrs. Lu nodded, her eyes revealing deep worry: "Yes, the emperor's health is getting worse and worse, and the ministers in the court are vying for power. Your father once told me that if the Lu family wants to gain a foothold in the court, they must do something."

Lu Yundi was silent for a moment. She knew what her mother meant. She pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Mom, I will do my best to help our family get through this difficult time."

Mrs. Lu looked at her daughter with a hint of relief in her eyes. She knew that her daughter had wisdom and courage that were no less than that of a boy. She patted her daughter's hand gently and said, "Yun Di, you are my proudest daughter."

The atmosphere between the two became warm and harmonious. At this moment, a maid came in with a plate of freshly stewed medicine in her hand.

"Madam, Miss, this is the medicine that the miracle doctor prepared specially for you. He said it can help you recover your strength."

Mrs. Lu took the medicine bowl and fed it to her daughter herself. Lu Yundi took a sip and frowned slightly at the bitter taste, but she still drank it bravely.

"Mom, you are so kind to me." Lu Yundi looked at his mother gratefully.

Mrs. Lu smiled slightly, her eyes full of love: "Silly child, it is only natural for your mother to treat you well."

After the medicine was finished, the two continued to talk. Mrs. Lu told her daughter that the situation in the court was becoming more complicated and the Lu family must be prepared. Lu Yundi listened silently and had already made a decision in her heart.

"Mother, you have worked hard, please rest early." Lu Yundi said softly.

Mrs. Lu smiled slightly and patted her daughter's hand gently: "Okay, let's rest together."

As the night deepened, the lights in the Lu residence gradually dimmed. However, in this quiet night, Lu Yundi's heart was full of determination.

The next day, as the sun was rising, Lu Yundi stood in front of the gate of Lu's mansion with a firm gaze and a straight posture.
