"Madam, this child..." Nanny Cao let go of Jiang Yinyi, but before she could start to speak, Jiang Yinyi stepped hard on her foot.

"Come chase me, you can't catch me, hum~"

Lu Yundi's face darkened as he watched Jiang Yinyi turn around and run away triumphantly. He couldn't help but clench his fists hidden in his sleeves.

A trace of surprise flashed across Cao Ma's eyes, and then she revealed a helpless bitter smile. She rubbed her hurt foot, looked at Jiang Yinyi who was running away, and sighed softly.

"Young master, why are you doing this?" There was a hint of reproach and doting in Madam Cao's words.

Jiang Yinyi stopped, turned around and made a face at Madam Cao, then said to Lu Yundi smugly, "Lu Yundi, you can't catch up with me, haha!"

Lu Yundi's face became increasingly gloomy. He looked at Jiang Yinyi coldly, with a gleam of determination in his eyes. He slowly put down his fist and said firmly, "Jiang Yinyi, just wait, I will definitely catch up with you."

Seeing this, Madam Cao stepped forward to dissuade him: "Young Master, you and Master Lu Yundi are both treasures of the mansion, why do you have to compete with each other like this?"

Jiang Yinyi rolled his eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "Mammy, you always favor him. What's so good about him? He is just a nerd."

Madam Cao smiled and patted Jiang Yinyi's shoulder gently: "Young Master, you are still young and don't understand how treacherous people are. Although Young Master Lu Yundi doesn't like to talk, he has a good heart and is a reliable person."

Jiang Yinyi didn't take it seriously and turned around to run away again. At this time, Lu Yundi suddenly said: "Jiang Yinyi, do you really think I can't catch up with you?"

Jiang Yinyi stopped and looked at him provocatively: "If you don't believe me, just try it."

Lu Yundi said no more, and chased after Jiang Yinyi with a determined look. Madam Cao looked at their backs and sighed secretly.

The two chased each other and ran out of the gate of Zhenxing Marquis Mansion. On the way, they passed by the garden in the mansion. The flowers in the garden were in full bloom and the fragrance was overflowing.

Jiang Yinyi suddenly stopped and turned to Lu Yundi and said, "Lu Yundi, you have been chasing me for so long, are you tired?"

Lu Yundi panted heavily and said with a firm look in his eyes: "As long as I can catch up with you, I am willing to do it no matter how tired I am."

Jiang Yinyi smiled and pointed to the flowers in the garden: "Look, these flowers are so beautiful. Do you like them?"

Lu Yundi glanced at the flowers and said calmly: "Flowers are beautiful, but they can't be eaten or worn, so they are of no use to me."

Jiang Yinyi widened his eyes and looked at him in surprise: "You are such a weirdo. You don't even like flowers."

Lu Yundi did not answer. He just stared at Jiang Yinyi closely, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

At this time, Madam Cao came over and said to the two of them, "Young Master, Young Master Lu Yundi, please stop making trouble. There are still many things waiting for you to do in the mansion."

Jiang Yinyi and Lu Yundi looked at Madam Cao at the same time, with a trace of awe in their eyes. They knew that Madam Cao's words represented the rules of the Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion.

Madam Cao took the two back to the mansion, and they went to do their own things. Although Jiang Yinyi was still a little dissatisfied, he also understood that Madam Cao was doing it for their own good.

……

In her previous life, soon after Ye Wanxue entered the Zhenxing Marquis Mansion, something puzzling happened - Nanny Cao died strangely, and the cause of her death remains a mystery. At that time, Lu Yundi was deeply involved in the busy work of raising her children, and Jiang Jilian's few sweet words easily concealed the truth. Looking back now, perhaps Nanny Cao was more perceptive than her and had insight into some unknown secrets, which is why she unfortunately suffered a disaster and died!

A trace of barely perceptible worry flashed across Ye Wanxue's eyes as she slowly walked into the hall of the Zhenxing Marquis's residence. The shadow of Madam Cao's death was like a dark cloud, always hanging over this ancient residence. Everyone in the residence was busy shuttling back and forth, but they all seemed to be deliberately avoiding this topic.

Lady Lu Yundi, the wife of Marquis Zhenxing, was sitting in the main seat, looking at Ye Wanxue with deep eyes, as if looking for some answer. She coughed lightly and broke the silence: "Miss Ye, what do you think about the death of Madam Cao?"

Ye Wanxue was slightly stunned, then lowered her head and thought for a moment, then slowly said: "Madame Cao had an extraordinary status in the mansion, and her death is indeed puzzling. But I'm new here, and I don't know much about the affairs of the mansion, so I dare not speculate."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes, and then said: "You are a smart woman, I believe you can see the strangeness. Cao Ma Ma was close to you when she was alive. Did she reveal anything to you?"

Ye Wanxue's heart tightened. She remembered a secret conversation between Madam Cao and her before her death, and she immediately had the answer in her mind. But she knew that this was not the time to reveal the truth. She needed more evidence. So she shook her head: "Madam Cao did not mention anything unusual to me."

At this time, Zhenxing Marquis Jiang Jilian walked in. He looked at Ye Wanxue calmly and said, "Miss Ye, you don't have to worry too much. I have already told the servants to properly handle the death of Madam Cao. You just need to live peacefully in the mansion and don't interfere too much in this matter."

Ye Wanxue frowned slightly. She could feel the indifference and alienation in Jiang Jilian's tone, and she couldn't help but feel even more confused. She couldn't help but ask, "My Lord, Nanny Cao was an elder in the mansion when she was alive. With her death, are we going to just give up and not pursue the matter anymore?"

Jiang Jilian's eyes flashed, and a trace of impatience appeared on his face: "Miss Ye, don't you understand? There are reasons for the death of Madam Cao. The most important thing for us now is to maintain peace in the mansion and not let this matter affect the normal order of the mansion."

Lu Yundi said at this time: "Ji Lian, Miss Ye is also concerned about the affairs of the mansion, so she asked this question. You don't have to be too indifferent to her. We really should get to the bottom of Madam Cao's death and give an explanation to everyone in the mansion."

Jiang Jilian was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, I will arrange for my servants to continue investigating this matter. But before that, Miss Ye, I hope you can behave yourself and stop causing trouble in the mansion."

Ye Wanxue's heart tightened. She knew what Jiang Jilian's words meant. She took a deep breath and smiled, "Don't worry, Lord Hou. I will be careful about my words and actions."

One day, Ye Wanxue accidentally found an account book in the study, which recorded the recent expenses of the mansion. She looked through it carefully and found that one of the expenses caught her attention. The amount of this expense was huge and the purpose was unknown. She decided to tell Lu Yundi about it.

After hearing this, Lu Yundi's face suddenly became solemn. She pondered for a moment and said, "I know about this expenditure. This was deliberately arranged by the Marquis to cover up the truth about Madam Cao's death. He knew that I was busy raising children and could not pay too much attention to this matter, so he tried to get away with it in this way."
