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

Looking at Lu Yundi, Yu couldn't help but feel a little emotional. She knew that Lu Yundi was not sincere in reconciling with her, but for the sake of harmony in the mansion, she had to be patient temporarily. She turned to Lu Yundi and said gently: "Yundi, you are a sensible woman. I believe you will handle the affairs of the mansion well."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly. She knew that Yu was hinting at her. She nodded slightly, indicating that she would do her best.

As the night deepened, the candlelight in the warm room became dimmer. Yu stood up and said to Ye Wanxue and Lu Yundi, "It's getting late, you should go to bed early. Yundi, come to my room, I have something to tell you."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly and followed Yu out of the warm room. Ye Wanxue looked at their backs and couldn't help thinking secretly. She knew that this conversation was just the beginning, and her mother-in-law Yu's doubts were not completely eliminated, and the private affair between her and Jiang Jilian would eventually become a major hidden danger in the mansion.

The next day, Ye Wanxue studied with Jiang Jilian in the study room as usual. The two sat opposite each other in a harmonious atmosphere. However, Ye Wanxue's mind was always lingering on the conversation between Yu and Lu Yundi. She knew that she had to find a way to resolve this storm.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the study, and Lu Yundi walked in. She looked at Ye Wanxue and Jiang Jilian and smiled slightly: "Jilian, I have heard about your conversation with Miss Ye yesterday. I think you should have your own plans in mind, right?"

Jiang Jilian was slightly stunned. He looked at Lu Yundi and couldn't help feeling a little nervous. However, he quickly regained his composure. He knew he had to face this problem.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, accompanied by chaotic shouting, and Ye Wanxue's door was knocked violently, with continuous noises.

"The fire is coming, the fire is coming, get up quickly!"

When Jiang Jilian saw the flames rising from outside the door, his face changed immediately. He hurriedly put on his coat and then pulled Ye Wanxue up from the bed.

Ye Wanxue reluctantly opened her sleepy eyes under Jiang Jilian's pull, and looked at him dazedly. The firelight reflected on her face, reflecting fear and anxiety. She struggled to sit up and hurriedly tidied up her messy hair.

"My Lord, what happened?" Ye Wanxue asked in horror, her voice trembling slightly.

Jiang Jilian frowned, his expression serious. He pulled Ye Wanxue out the door and replied, "There's a fire outside. The fire is huge. We have to leave immediately!"

As soon as the two rushed out of the door, they saw flames and smoke everywhere in the house. The servants ran around in panic, some putting out the fire, some moving things. Jiang Jilian held Ye Wanxue's hand tightly and led her through the sea of ​​fire.

"My Lord, how do we get there?" Ye Wanxue asked anxiously, with fear flashing in her eyes.

Jiang Jilian hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's go through the back door. There are fewer people there, so it should be safer."

As they talked, the two of them walked around the area with the bigger fire and came to the back door. Just as they were about to go out, they saw a group of palace soldiers running in in a panic, led by Jiang Jilian's deputy general Li Tiexin.

"My lord, the fire is too big and we can't put it out. Please take your wife and leave quickly!" Li Tiexin said anxiously.

Jiang Jilian nodded and said to Ye Wanxue: "Wanxue, don't worry, I will protect you and leave safely."

Ye Wanxue nodded nervously and clutched Jiang Jilian's sleeve tightly, fearing that he would suddenly disappear.

The two of them went out the back door together and came to a safe place. Jiang Jilian looked at the mansion with flames rising to the sky, feeling deeply moved.

"My Lord, we will slowly make up for the losses in your mansion. As long as we unite as one, we will be able to overcome this difficulty." Ye Wanxue said softly.

Jiang Jilian looked at Ye Wanxue, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes. He held her hand tightly and said, "Wanxue, thank you. At this time, you can still stand by my side so firmly."

Ye Wanxue lowered her head shyly, but her heart was full of determination.

……

Standing outside the house, Ye Wanxue couldn't help but shiver as the cool breeze blew by.

"Wanxue, you've caught a cold." Jiang Jilian gently took Ye Wanxue into his arms and said in a loud voice, "Neighbors, we were in such a hurry that we didn't get dressed properly. Can we borrow some clothes?"

As the night deepened and the breeze blew, Ji Lian hugged Ye Wanxue tightly, his eyes full of concern. The neighbors gathered around and looked at the man and woman who suddenly appeared with curiosity.

"My lord, what's wrong with you? Is this girl your guest of honor?" a neighbor asked curiously.

Jiang Jilian smiled slightly and looked at Ye Wanxue, his eyes full of tenderness: "She is my beloved, and I brought her here to meet you all today. It's just that I was in a hurry and didn't dress properly, I hope you can forgive me."

Everyone nodded in understanding. A neighbor immediately went home to get a clean piece of clothing and handed it to Jiang Jilian: "My Lord, please put this on the girl first, don't let her catch a cold."

Jiang Jilian took the clothes and gently put them on Ye Wanxue, then turned to the crowd and said, "Dear neighbors, I'm treating you tonight. How about we all have a good time together?"

"The Marquis is so generous, how can we not accept it?" Everyone responded, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Ye Wanxue looked at Jiang Jilian, her eyes sparkling with gratitude. She gently held Jiang Jilian's hand and whispered, "Jilian, thank you."

Jiang Jilian smiled, patted Ye Wanxue's hand gently, and said, "Wanxue, as long as you are well, I will feel at ease."

The two smiled at each other, as if all the troubles in the world had nothing to do with them.

Ye Wanxue changed her clothes and stood outside the house side by side with Jiang Jilian.

Jiang Jilian looked at Ye Wanxue, his eyes full of concern: "Wanxue, you have given too much for me over the years, and I feel guilty." Ye Wanxue shook her head gently, with determination in her eyes: "My Lord, I know that my status is low, and it is a great blessing to be able to accompany you. As long as you don't despise me, I am willing to give everything for you."

The two of them were silent. Under the moonlight, each other's expressions became clearer. Jiang Jilian gently held Ye Wanxue's hand and whispered, "Wanxue, I have something to ask of you. Are you willing?" Ye Wanxue smiled and said, "My Lord, you can tell me what you want to tell me."

Jiang Jilian took a deep breath and said, "I plan to take you into my house and make you my concubine. I know this may be a kind of restraint for you, but I hope to give you a status so that you will no longer be prejudiced by the world."

Ye Wanxue's eyes widened. She didn't expect Jiang Jilian to make such a request. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled gently: "My Lord, I do."

Jiang Jilian's heart warmed up. He knew Ye Wanxue was a smart woman and she understood what this meant. He held Ye Wanxue's hand tightly and said, "Wanxue, from now on you belong to me, Jiang Jilian. I will do my best to protect you."
