Lu Yundi was quite surprised to hear the news that Ye Wanxue's house was on fire yesterday. She asked her maid Cuiying to set the fire. As soon as Jiang Jilian left last night, she asked Cuiying to decorate the house.

"The house burned down. Where did Jiang Jilian and Ye Wanxue go in the end?" Lu Yundi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looked at Cuiying, and asked with some pride.

Cuiying lowered her head slightly. Although she was puzzled by Madam's actions, she did not show it on her face and replied softly, "Madam, after the fire started, Jiang Jilian and Ye Wanxue seemed to be panicked and fled hurriedly through the back door. According to the servants, they should have gone to the farm outside the city."

A gleam of light flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes, and she sneered, "What will happen if they go to Zhuangzi? Do they think that if they can escape for a while, they can escape forever?" She clapped her hands gently and said, "Cuiying, you are doing very well. I want you to keep an eye on them and report any disturbances immediately."

Cuiying bowed slightly and said respectfully, "I obey your command."

At this time, the atmosphere in the room was tense and heavy. The maid Xiang Zhu quietly walked in, refilled the tea for the two masters, and then quietly left. Lu Yundi looked out the window at the night, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

"Madam, are you really going to do this?" Xiang Zhu couldn't help but ask, with worry in her eyes.

Lu Yundi turned his head and looked at Xiang Zhu with a firm gaze: "I do this for the future of the Marquis' Mansion. Jiang Jilian is ambitious. If he succeeds, our Marquis' Mansion will never have peace. As for Ye Wanxue, she is just a clown, nothing to be afraid of."

Xiang Zhu was silent for a moment, and then said, "But, Madam, is this really worth it? After all, Jiang Jilian and Ye Wanxue are also your relatives."

A hint of complexity flashed across Lu Yundi's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure: "Relatives? If they really regarded me as a relative, they would not treat the Marquis' Mansion like this. I do this for the future generations of the Marquis' Mansion and for my descendants."

At this time, Cuiying came in again, holding a piece of paper in her hand: "Madam, this is what the servants found on the farm. It says 'Come quickly, danger' on it."

Lu Yundi took the note, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes: "Danger? What kind of danger did they encounter?" She pondered for a moment, and then said: "Cuiying, take a few reliable servants and go to the manor to take a look."

Cuiying accepted the order and was about to leave. Xiang Zhu couldn't help but ask, "Madam, are you really comfortable letting Cuiying go alone?"

Lu Yundi glanced at Xiang Zhu and smiled, "Don't worry, Cuiying is my most capable assistant, she can handle this matter."

In the darkness of night, Cuiying, along with a few servants, quietly left the mansion and headed straight for the farm outside the city.

In the manor, Jiang Jilian and Ye Wanxue were waiting anxiously. They knew that after the fire, they could no longer stay in the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion. But they couldn't just give up, they had to find a way to survive.

"Ji Lian, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to find a way to fight back." Ye Wanxue said anxiously.

Jiang Jilian sighed: "I know, but we don't have any evidence now, how can we fight back?"

At this moment, Cuiying appeared at the gate of the manor with her servants. She looked at the anxious Jiang Jilian and Ye Wanxue and sneered in her heart. She walked forward and said lightly: "My Lord, Miss Ye, are you waiting for me?"

Jiang Jilian and Ye Wanxue were stunned, and then they understood something. Jiang Jilian sneered, "Cuiying, do you think you can save your master by doing this?"

Cuiying smiled and said, "My Lord, you misunderstood. I am not doing this to protect my master, but for the future of the Marquisate. If you and Miss Ye are really capable, then you can fight openly. Why use such means?"

Jiang Jilian and Ye Wanxue looked at each other.

In the darkness of night, Cuiying left the manor with her servants.

After returning to the mansion, Cuiying reported the details of her trip to Zhuangzi to Lu Yundi. After listening, Lu Yundi nodded gently: "Cuiying, you did a good job. Next, we must be more careful and not let Jiang Jilian and Ye Wanxue take advantage of any opportunity."

Cuiying obeyed the order and was deeply grateful for the lady's trust in her.

……

Early that morning, the sun shone through the window lattice into the warm room of Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion. Lu Yundi and Jiang Zihan sat side by side, reciting "The Rules of Being a Good Pupil and Child" together, she recited a sentence, and the child recited a sentence. Xiang Zhu and Cuiying waited quietly by the side, waiting for Lu Yundi's instructions.

"Zi Han, have you reviewed today's homework?" Lu Yundi asked softly, his eyes full of concern.

Jiang Zihan nodded slightly and replied, "Mother, I have reviewed the poems and essays that the teacher taught me."

Lu Yundi smiled and patted Jiang Zihan's hand, then turned to Xiang Zhu and Cui Ying and asked, "What about you two? Are you ready for today's errand?"

Xiang Zhu and Cui Ying leaned forward and responded: "Madam, rest assured, we have already told the servants to prepare everything."

At this time, the atmosphere in the warm room was harmonious and warm.

"Mother, I will study hard and live up to your expectations." Jiang Zihan said seriously.

Lu Yundi smiled and patted Jiang Zihan on the shoulder, then turned to look at Xiang Zhu and Cuiying: "You two, you must also take good care of the young lady and not let her suffer any grievances."

Xiang Zhu and Cui Ying responded in unison, their eyes full of determination.

Jiang Zihan and her mother were discussing poetry and songs, while Xiang Zhu and Cui Ying were listening and occasionally chiming in. The three of them expressed their own opinions and laughed from time to time.

"Mother, what do you think of this poem?" Jiang Zihan picked up a collection of poems and pointed to one of the poems and asked.

Lu Yundi took the collection of poems, read it carefully, and said with a smile: "This poem is profound and artistic. Zihan, your appreciation ability is getting better and better."

When Jiang Zihan heard her mother's praise, her face flushed, but her heart was filled with joy.

At this time, Cuiying suddenly interrupted and said, "Madam, Miss, look, the flowers outside the window are blooming so brightly, why don't we go to the garden to enjoy the flowers?"

Xiang Zhu also agreed, "Yes, the flowers in the garden are in full bloom, let's go and enjoy them, and let the young lady relax at the same time."

Lu Yundi looked at the two people's eyes and understood that they wanted Jiang Zihan to relax. So, she smiled and nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's go to the garden to enjoy the flowers."

The four of them walked out of the warm room and came to the garden in the mansion. It was spring and the flowers in the garden were in full bloom. Jiang Zihan looked at the beautiful scenery in front of her and felt very happy.

"Mother, the flowers in this garden are so beautiful. Which one do you think is the most beautiful?" Jiang Zihan asked.

Lu Yundi looked at her daughter and replied with a smile: "In my mother's eyes, every flower has its own unique charm. Just like people, everyone has his or her own strengths and specialties."

Jiang Zihan nodded thoughtfully. She understood what her mother meant. In this Zhenxing Marquis Mansion, she wanted to bloom like these flowers.

Xiang Zhu and Cui Ying looked at the young lady's expression and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Time passed quickly in the garden, and the four of them talked and laughed until the sun set.
