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

Inside the Zhenxing Marquis Mansion, warm lights were hung high and red candles were swaying.

Lu Yundi gently held Yan Qingyu's arm, her eyes showing deep respect and dependence. Yan Qingyu smiled, with a hint of love in her eyes, as if she was looking at her own daughter.

"Cousin, you are so noble now. We relatives are so envious of you." Lu Yundi said coquettishly with a hint of mischief in her tone.

Yan Qingyu gently patted Lu Yundi's hand, with a hint of relief in his eyes: "Di'er, you still don't understand, all the nobility in this world comes at a price. I have been in the palace for many years and witnessed too many honors and disgraces, rise and fall. Now I can enjoy my old age in peace, I am lucky."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, she knew that what her cousin said was true. She looked up at Yan Qingyu, a trace of seriousness flashed in her eyes: "Cousin, you are absolutely right. I also know that the glory of this mansion is built on the hard work and sacrifice of countless people. But I am willing to do my best to make this mansion more prosperous."

Yan Qingyu looked at Lu Yundi with a hint of admiration in her eyes. She knew that although her niece was young, she had great ambitions in her heart, and she was smart and wise.

"Di'er, I am very relieved about your character. But you must remember that the higher the status, the greater the responsibility. You must learn to balance and take care of both the Zhenxing Marquis Mansion and yourself." Yan Qingyu said earnestly.

Lu Yundi nodded, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "Cousin, I will remember your teachings. However, I am a little troubled now, and I would like to ask you for advice."

Yan Qingyu smiled slightly and motioned Lu Yundi to continue.

"Recently, I have discovered some clues in the mansion. It seems that someone is secretly making trouble and wants to destroy the peace of our mansion. I am worried that someone wants to take this opportunity to sow discord or even target the Marquis." Lu Yundi said in a serious tone.

Yan Qingyu's expression changed slightly. She pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Di'er, how did you handle this matter?"

Lu Yundi shook her head. "I'm still investigating, but the clues are limited and progress is slow. I think you have been in the palace for many years and are knowledgeable. You can give me some clues."

Yan Qingyu smiled slightly, with a shrewd look in his eyes: "Di'er, since you have already noticed something, you must get to the bottom of it. But you must remember that you can't be too hasty in this kind of thing, and you can't trust anyone easily. You can start by checking the people around you, but be careful not to let others notice your intentions."

A gleam flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes, and she looked at Yan Qingyu gratefully: "Cousin, I understand, I will follow your advice."

Soon, a maid hurried in with a letter in her hand. Lu Yundi took the letter, opened it, and her face suddenly became solemn.

"What's wrong?" Yan Qingyu asked in confusion.

"Cousin, I think I already know who is secretly colluding to frame the Marquis." Lu Yundi said in a cold tone.

Yan Qingyu smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Di'er, since you already have a clue, don't hesitate, take action immediately. I believe that with your wisdom and ability, you will be able to find out the truth and maintain the peace of the Marquis' Mansion."

Lu Yundi nodded, a look of determination flashed in her eyes: "Cousin, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."

......

"Madam, the Marquis has returned home." The maid Xiang Zhu reported from outside the door, and Lu Yundi couldn't help but smile. "Since the Marquis has returned, it's a bit inappropriate for my cousin to be here." Yan Qingyu said as he stood up. "Cousin, since he has come to the door, there is no need to avoid him, just meet him!" Lu Yundi smiled and pushed her back to her seat.

As soon as Xiang Zhu finished speaking, the footsteps of Zhenxing Marquis Jiang Jilian came closer and closer until they stopped outside the door. Lu Yundi smiled and said, "Come in, Marquis."

The door curtain was lifted slightly, and Jiang Jilian walked in. He was dressed in casual clothes, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he looked energetic. As soon as he entered the door, his eyes fell on Yan Qingyu, and he was slightly stunned, and then he regained his composure.

"The Marquis is back." Lu Yundi stood up and walked towards him gracefully, his voice gentle yet dignified.

"Madam, do you have guests here?" Jiang Jilian's gaze stayed on Yan Qingyu for a moment, then turned to Lu Yundi.

"This is my distant cousin, Yan Qingyu." Lu Yundi introduced calmly.

Jiang Jilian smiled slightly and bowed to Yan Qingyu: "So it's Cousin Yan, I'm sorry."

Yan Qingyu smiled slightly and politely replied: "You are too polite, my Lord."

The three of them sat down, and Jiang Jilian's eyes swept over Yan Qingyu from time to time. Lu Yundi saw it and smiled in her heart. She knew that Jiang Jilian was a cautious person and would not easily reveal Yan Qingyu's identity.

"Cousin, I heard that you entered the palace when you were young. I wonder if there were any interesting things in the palace?" Jiang Jilian tried to start the conversation.

Yan Qingyu smiled slightly, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes: "Things from that time, when I think back now, seem to have become distant memories. The days in the palace were mostly trivial matters, and I'm afraid the Marquis will laugh at me if I tell you about them."

Jiang Jilian nodded and asked, "Did the Queen Mother leave any last words before she passed away?"

Yan Qingyu's eyes suddenly became deep, and she said softly: "The Queen Mother did leave a will, but that is a private matter between me and my wife, and it is not convenient to tell others."

Jiang Jilian smiled and stopped asking questions. Lu Yundi saw this and secretly praised Yan Qingyu's response.

At this time, the maid brought tea and snacks. Lu Yundi picked up a piece of snack and said with a smile: "Cousin, the snacks in this mansion are well made, you should try them."

Yan Qingyu smiled and took the snack. The three of them ate and chatted, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

Suddenly, the maid quickly stepped forward and whispered something. Seeing this, Lu Yundi asked, "What's wrong, Lord Marquis?"

"There is urgent military information. I must go to the military camp immediately." Jiang Jilian stood up, saluted to Lu Yundi and Yan Qingyu, and hurried away.

Only Lu Yundi and Yan Qingyu were left in the room. Lu Yundi sighed softly and said, "The Marquis's personality is always so impatient."

Yan Qingyu smiled slightly and said, "Madam, the Marquis is a responsible man. When Western Wei is in trouble, he will naturally step forward."

Lu Yundi nodded, with worry in his eyes: "I'm just worried about his safety."

Yan Qingyu held Lu Yundi's hand and said softly, "Madam, don't worry. The Marquis is blessed by heaven, and nothing will happen to him."

The two talked in the house, and time passed quietly. As night fell, the lights in Zhenxinghou Mansion were brightly lit, but Jiang Jilian never came back.

Lu Yundi became more and more worried. She stood up and said to Yan Qingyu, "Cousin, I'm going to go out and check on the Marquis. Please wait here."

Yan Qingyu nodded slightly, his eyes full of concern.

Lu Yundi left the house and saw Jiang Jilian in the darkness. He was standing in the courtyard, looking at the starry sky with a solemn expression.

"My Lord." Lu Yundi called softly.

Jiang Jilian turned his head and saw Lu Yundi, and smiled slightly: "Madam, I'm fine, I just have some things to think about."
