The three of them drank tea and chatted in a harmonious atmosphere.

At this time, the owner of the teahouse came over and introduced Lu Yundi: "Madam, I have a new tea here called 'Spring'. It has a mellow taste and a fragrant aroma. Would you like to try it?"

Lu Yundi smiled slightly: "Then let's have a pot."

The tea was served quickly, and the three of them tasted the new tea and had a pleasant conversation. Lu Yundi looked at the crowd outside the window and secretly sighed in his heart: Such a day really makes people feel happy.

As the sky gradually darkened, the three of them left the teahouse and prepared to go home. Lu Yundi and Xiang Zhu said goodbye to Lin Suer and took a car back to Zhenxing Marquis Mansion.

……

The next day, Lu Yundi came to the cosmetics shop she ran and carefully drew her eyebrows in front of the mirror.

"Madam, there is something that makes me hesitate whether to speak." The shopkeeper Yin Shu, an old servant of the Lu family, said, "Although these shops are managed by us, if you are free, you may as well come in person."

"Yin Shu, when did you become so hesitant? Just tell me, what is making you hesitate?"

"Ms. Jiang Yuqi, the eldest daughter of the Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion, came to visit with her friends a few days ago and bought a lot of goods, all of which were recorded in the account."

Yin Shu complained, "That's fine. Madam, your sister-in-law can afford this amount of spending in the store. But, Madam, do you really intend to use this store as a dowry for Jiang Yuqi?"

"Oh, that's just something you can listen to. How can I easily give away my dowry to others? If the Zhenxing Marquis Mansion didn't have other shops, how could it act like this?" Lu Yundi responded with a contemptuous smile.

Lu Yundi raised her eyebrows slightly, put down the eyebrow pencil in her hand, turned to face Yin Shu, her bright eyes flashing with an unquestionable light.

"Yin Shu, you have followed me for many years. You should know that every inch of land and every jar of cosmetics in this cosmetics shop are the result of my hard work. It is not just a store, but also the pride of my Lu family." Her voice was low and firm.

Yin Shu lowered his head slightly, feeling a little uneasy. He pondered for a moment, then said, "Madam, I am not questioning your decision, but the appetite of the Zhenxing Marquisate seems to be growing. If it is not restricted, I am afraid..."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a barely perceptible chill in that smile, "Restrictions? If they really have the guts, I'd like to see how they do it. Yin Shu, don't worry, they haven't experienced my Lu Yundi's methods yet."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the store, and then the door curtain was gently lifted, and a girl in gorgeous clothes walked in. It was Jiang Yuqi, the eldest daughter of Zhenxing Marquis Mansion.

Jiang Yuqi walked in, looked around, and finally landed on Lu Yundi. She had a smug smile on her face, "Sister-in-law, your place is really getting more and more lively. I am here to disturb you again today."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, but his eyes were a little colder, "Miss Jiang, your presence here is of course a great honor to my humble home."

Jiang Yuqi walked to the mirror, picked up a jar of powder, and gently applied it on her face, saying, "Sister-in-law, the powder you have here is really good. I've used it and it's good. I heard that you plan to give this shop as my dowry. I'm so happy."

There was a sharp flash in Lu Yundi's eyes, and she said calmly: "It's good that you are happy, but this dowry is not that simple."

Jiang Yuqi frowned slightly, put down her makeup, turned around and faced Lu Yundi, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean? Do you have any other conditions?"

Lu Yundi smiled slightly and patted Jiang Yuqi's hand gently. "We'll talk about the conditions later. Yin Shu, take Miss Jiang to see the new products."

Yin Shu nodded slightly and led Jiang Yuqi deeper into the store. Lu Yundi looked at their backs, a trace of contemplation flashing in his eyes.

She turned back to her seat, picked up a book and started reading. However, her mind was not on the book. She thought about Yin Shu's words and felt a little uneasy. This Zhenxing Marquis Mansion was indeed a difficult opponent to deal with.

After a while, Yin Shu and Jiang Yuqi came back. Jiang Yuqi was holding a few bottles of powder in her hands, with a satisfied smile on her face, "Sister-in-law, these new products are really good, I like them very much."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, "I'm glad you like it. Miss Jiang, let's find some time to talk about the dowry."

A trace of vigilance flashed in Jiang Yuqi's eyes, and she nodded slightly, "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll take my leave first."

After sending Jiang Yuqi away, Lu Yundi turned back to Yin Shu and said seriously, "Yin Shu, you should pay close attention to the movements of Zhenxing Marquis' Mansion and don't miss any disturbances."

Yin Shu nodded slightly. He looked at Lu Yundi and couldn't help but feel a surge of respect in his heart. This lady is indeed not an ordinary person.

In the next few days, Lu Yundi and Yin Shu were busy. On the one hand, they had to deal with the provocation of Zhenxing Marquis Mansion, and on the other hand, they had to manage the store. During this period, they also received many distinguished guests, including some officials and wealthy businessmen.

One afternoon, a special guest came to the store. She was wearing a plain long dress and a simple hair ornament on her head. Her elegant temperament and beautiful appearance made people unforgettable at first sight.

The guest walked straight up to Lu Yundi and smiled, "Sister Yundi, long time no see."

Lu Yundi raised her head and saw the person coming. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. "It turned out to be Sister Qingyi. It's been many years since we last met. You are still as charming as ever."

The girl's surname was Liu and her name was Qingyi. She went to Beijing with Lu Yundi to do business. They were like sisters at that time, but later they became estranged due to their busy lives.

Liu Qingyi looked at Lu Yundi, a trace of concern flashing in her eyes, "Sister Yundi, I heard that you have been in some trouble recently, so I came to visit you."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly. She knew that Liu Qingyi was a smart person and she must have heard about what happened in Zhenxing Marquis' Mansion.

The two sat down and began to talk about the past. During the conversation, Lu Yundi cleverly led the topic to the Zhenxing Marquis Mansion. She wanted to hear Liu Qingyi's opinion.

After hearing this, Liu Qingyi smiled slightly and said, "Sister Yundi, you don't have to worry too much. Although the Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion is powerful, it is not invincible."

A gleam of light flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes, "Qingyi, what do you think?"

Liu Qingyi smiled slightly and tapped the table lightly. "Sister Yundi, the weakness of the Zhenxing Marquisate is actually inside them. As long as we find the right opportunity, we can defeat it in one fell swoop."

After hearing this, Lu Yundi's heart was moved. She knew that Liu Qingyi's words made sense. She decided to make a careful plan.

Lu Yundi began to take active actions. She worked closely with Yin Shu to strengthen the management of the store on the one hand, and began to make plans to deal with the challenge of Zhenxing Marquis Mansion on the other hand.

The Zhenxing Marquisate seemed to be aware of Lu Yundi's counterattack, and they began to intensify their crackdown on the cosmetics shop. However, Lu Yundi had already made preparations, and the counterattack she and Yin Shu carefully planned caught the Zhenxing Marquisate off guard.
