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

Lu Yundi's face was as cold as frost, and his eyes fell on Jiang Lili solemnly. After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "If you don't want to be eclipsed by Song Shanhu, you should learn from your brother Yinli. Only when you have his knowledge can you win the respect and attention of others."

Jiang Lili's cheeks flushed instantly. It was obvious that she was dissatisfied with her mother's teachings and was very emotional.

Jiang Lili bit her lower lip tightly, a hint of unyieldingness flashed in her eyes, but in the end she still lowered her head and remained silent.

The wife of the Marquis of Zhenxing had a sharp gaze. She sighed softly, as if she had anticipated her daughter's reaction. "Li Li, I know you don't accept it, but this is reality. In this chaotic world, a woman's talent is equally important. Look at Song Shanhu. Although she is a concubine's daughter, she has won the respect of so many people with her talent."

Jiang Lili raised her head, a trace of unwillingness flashed in her eyes: "Mother, I understand your painstaking efforts, but I don't want to use knowledge to cover up my shortcomings like Song Shanhu did. I have my pride, and I am willing to win respect in my own way."

Lady Zhenxing Marquis smiled slightly, with a hint of tolerance and love in her eyes: "I know your pride. But not everyone in this world can understand your pride. Sometimes, appropriate compromise is for a better future."

At this time, Jiang Lili's younger brother Jiang Yinli walked in. He was tall and handsome, with wisdom in his eyes. He bowed to his mother, then turned to Jiang Lili and smiled, "Sister, mother is right. In this world, we all need to keep learning to gain a foothold. I am willing to study hard with you and make progress together."

Jiang Lili looked at her brother, and a trace of warmth welled up in her heart, but she remained tough: "I know you are all doing this for my own good. But I have my own ideas, and I will prove my worth in my own way."

The wife of Zhenxing Marquis shook her head gently, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "Li Li, you are always so stubborn. I hope you can understand sooner rather than later that some things cannot be solved by passion alone."

……

Speaking of finding a teacher, Lu Yundi suddenly thought of someone - Ye Wanxue. Isn't she the daughter of the teacher who used to be in the same academy as Jiang Jilian?

"The second son Yinyi has a strong character, and the second daughter Zihan has a weak constitution. It would be a blessing if they could have a talented and virtuous female teacher to teach them carefully." Lu Yundi deliberately said this to her mother-in-law Yu.

If Ye Wanxue could enter the Marquis' Mansion in the name of a female teacher, then Lu Yundi could take the opportunity to reveal the unknown affair between her and Jiang Jilian, thereby revealing the secret behind the scenes as soon as possible.

As soon as Lu Yundi finished speaking, her mother-in-law Yu smiled slightly, with a hint of shrewdness in her eyes. She knew that Lu Yundi did not mention Ye Wanxue for no reason. This lady was always thoughtful and must have a purpose.

"Yundi, I've also heard of Ye Wanxue you mentioned. She is indeed a woman of both talent and virtue, but... have you considered whether her personality is suitable for teaching children?" Yu asked slowly, her eyes lingering on Lu Yundi's face for a moment.

Lu Yundi smiled gently and replied, "Don't worry, mother-in-law. I have sent people to find out about Ye Wanxue's background. She has a gentle personality and is very patient in teaching students. She is also knowledgeable in poetry, songs, calligraphy, and painting. She will definitely be able to be a female teacher."

Yu nodded slightly, but still a little worried: "After all, she is a woman from another family. If she is allowed to enter the Marquis' Mansion, will it cause unnecessary trouble?"

A hint of determination flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes: "Mother-in-law, I understand your concerns. But for the future of the children, I think it's worth a try. Moreover, I know my limits and will not let her get in touch with the core affairs of the mansion easily."

Yu shi pondered for a moment, and finally nodded and agreed: "Since you said so, then I will believe you this time. However, you have to make sure that Ye Wanxue is really capable of doing the job, and don't let me down."

Having obtained her mother-in-law's consent, Lu Yundi was delighted, for she knew that her plan was already half successful.

In the next few days, Lu Yundi began to get busy. She personally arranged an interview for Ye Wanxue and strongly recommended her to her mother-in-law, Yu. Ye Wanxue's performance really lived up to expectations. She was gentle and well-spoken, and had a lot of experience in teaching children.

Mother-in-law Yu's impression of Ye Wanxue became better and better, and finally agreed to let her serve as the female teacher of the second son Yinyi and the second daughter Zihan. Ye Wanxue officially entered the Zhenxing Marquis Mansion and began her teaching career.

However, with the arrival of Ye Wanxue, the atmosphere in the mansion has quietly changed. Mother-in-law Yu pays more and more attention to her, while Lu Yundi intentionally or unintentionally draws Ye Wanxue to Jiang Jilian's sight.

One day, Lu Yundi invited Ye Wanxue to her courtyard for tea tasting, and her mother-in-law Yu was also present. During the tea tasting, Lu Yundi deliberately mentioned Jiang Jilian: "Sister Ye, you may not know that Jilian was in the same academy as you, and he also praised your talent."

Ye Wanxue smiled slightly and replied, "Madam, you are too kind. Young Master Jiang and I have been classmates for several years and we know each other a little, but I dare not say that he has any praise for me."

Mother-in-law Yu's eyes flickered. She keenly sensed Lu Yundi's intentions and became suspicious. She decided to test Ye Wanxue: "Miss Ye, what do you think of Ji Lian?"

Ye Wanxue smiled slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of deep meaning: "Mr. Jiang is talented and gentle, and he is a rare and good gentleman. However, my friendship with him is limited to the friendship of classmates."

Mother-in-law Yu nodded slightly, and her impression of Ye Wanxue improved a little. However, she still did not dare to let her guard down completely, after all, the affair between Ye Wanxue and Jiang Jilian was the secret she cared about the most.

In the warm room, the warm yellow candlelight flickered, and mother-in-law Yu looked at Ye Wanxue with deep eyes, thinking secretly in her heart. She took a sip of tea and slowly said, "Miss Ye, you just said that you and Ji Lian are just classmates, so what do you think about the things in the mansion?"

Ye Wanxue frowned slightly. She knew that Yu's probing was not without purpose, so she said slowly, "Madam, I naturally cannot say too much about the affairs of the mansion. But if we talk about the harmony of the mansion, I think the relationship between Madam and Miss Lu seems a little subtle."

As soon as these words came out, Yu's eyes suddenly became sharp. She looked at Ye Wanxue deeply, only to see that Ye Wanxue's face was calm, neither humble nor arrogant.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this Miss Ye is indeed not a simple person.

At this time, Lu Yundi coughed lightly, breaking the silence in the warm room. She chuckled and said, "Miss Ye is right. The relationship between me and my mother-in-law is indeed a little delicate. But this is also a family matter, and it is not convenient for outsiders to interfere."

Ye Wanxue smiled slightly. She knew that Lu Yundi was reminding her, so she said no more.
