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

Jiang Jilian looked up and saw a woman in green walking in. It was Xiang Zhu, the maid in his room.

Xiang Zhu had a worried look on his face. After bowing, he said softly, "My Lord, I heard some noises outside the door just now. It seems that Madam has noticed your recent mood."

Jiang Jilian was slightly stunned, then smiled bitterly: "Madam is indeed attentive, she even noticed these. Xiang Zhu, please go down first, I want to be alone."

Xiang Zhu responded and quietly left the room, leaving Jiang Jilian alone to face his inner struggle.

Just as Jiang Jilian was lost in thought, there was another sound of footsteps outside the door. This time it was Jiang Ze who came back. Jiang Ze looked serious, and after bowing, he said directly: "My Lord, I have ordered the servants to closely monitor Ye Wanxue's movements to ensure that she does not cause any more interference in the mansion."

Jiang Jilian nodded slightly, feeling gratified by Jiang Ze's loyalty and carefulness: "Very good, Jiang Ze, I trust you to do the job. However, this matter needs to be handled with caution, and the lady must not be aware of it at all."

Jiang Ze pondered for a moment and suggested, "My Lord, why don't we find an opportunity to let Ye Wanxue leave the capital. This will prevent Madam from knowing and also allow My Lord to feel at ease."

Jiang Jilian's eyes flashed with hesitation, but he quickly shook his head: "No, Ye Wanxue is my mistress, I can't just drive her away like this. Besides, she may be pregnant with my child, I must be responsible for her."

Jiang Ze understood Jiang Jilian's concerns and said no more. The two were silent for a while, and Jiang Jilian suddenly said, "Jiang Ze, accompany me to the study. I want to talk to you alone."

In the study, Jiang Jilian told Jiang Ze about his confusion and anxiety. After listening, Jiang Ze pondered and said, "My Lord, I think you should find a suitable opportunity to be honest with your wife. Perhaps your wife can understand your difficulties."

......

When Jiang Jilian heard the news, he immediately rushed to Rong Xitang to find Yu.

Jiang Jilian pushed the door open and walked in. Rongxi Hall was strangely quiet. Only Yu was sitting at the head of the table, looking at him seriously. Jiang Jilian's footsteps broke the silence. Yu raised her eyelids, her eyes as cold as ice, staring at her son coldly.

"Mother, why make such a fuss about just a small matter of taking a concubine?" Jiang Jilian spoke again, trying to make his mother understand his thoughts.

Yu snorted coldly, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes: "Just taking a concubine? Are you flouting the family rules? Do you know that taking a concubine is not as simple as you think?"

Jiang Jilian frowned, a little impatient: "Mother, I know that there are rules to follow when taking a concubine, but Ye Wanxue and I are in love, and I really like her. Just because she is a concubine, can't she be given a status?"

Upon hearing this, Yu's expression eased slightly, but she still said seriously: "Ji Lian, as the Marquis of Zhenxing, you have a noble status, and marriage is a serious matter. Ye Wanxue is indeed a good woman, but her status does make it difficult for you to talk about it. I am not against you taking a concubine, I just think you are too hasty."

After hearing this, Jiang Jilian's impatience gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of apology: "Mother, I know I am too impulsive, but Ye Wanxue is indeed the perfect match for me. I will consider it carefully and will not bring shame to the family."

Seeing her son's sincere attitude, Yu Shi couldn't help but feel relieved, but she still had to remind him seriously: "Ji Lian, you must remember that you are the heir to the Zhenxing Marquisate, and your actions represent the entire family. The matter of taking a concubine still needs to be considered carefully."

Jiang Jilian nodded, indicating that he understood: "Mother, I will listen to your advice and not act rashly." At this time, the maid brought tea. Yu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly: "Jilian, do you know why I am so opposed to you taking a concubine?"

Jiang Jilian shook his head slightly and looked at his mother in confusion.

Yu put down her teacup, her eyes far-reaching, "It's not that I don't support you in finding a good match, but I'm worried that you will ignore the interests of the family. It's easy to take a concubine, but if it's not handled properly, it will cause disputes within the family and even affect the reputation of our Zhenxing Marquisate."

Jiang Jilian was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Mother, I understand. I will act cautiously to ensure the peace of the family."

Finally, a satisfied smile appeared on Yu's face. She patted Jiang Jilian's hand and said earnestly, "Jilian, mother doesn't want you to give up the love in your heart. I just hope you can understand that the interests of the family are above all else. If you really like Ye Wanxue, you must think about her and let her understand that becoming a member of Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion means taking on corresponding responsibilities."

Jiang Jilian's eyes flashed with determination: "Mother, I will tell her everything and let her make her own choice."

It was already late at night when Jiang Jilian left Rong Xi Tang.

He walked along the path in the mansion with a heavy heart, the moonlight shining on him, lengthening his figure. Back in his room, he sat quietly at the table, holding a pen in his hand, but he didn't know what to write.

At this time, Hongying gently pushed the door open and brought him a cup of hot tea. Jiang Jilian looked up at her and smiled, "Thank you."

Hongying bowed and said softly, "My Lord, you have worked hard. If you need anything, please call me at any time."

Jiang Jilian nodded, and after Hongying left the room, he fell into deep thought again.

The next day, Jiang Jilian handled the affairs of the mansion as usual, but he was always worried about Ye Wanxue.

He knew that his mother's words made sense, but he also knew that his feelings for Ye Wanxue were sincere. He decided to find an opportunity to meet Ye Wanxue and tell her the whole story.

In the evening, Jiang Jilian quietly left the mansion and came to Ye Wanxue's residence.

When Ye Wanxue saw him, she was pleasantly surprised and asked hurriedly, "Ji Lian, why are you here?"

Jiang Jilian held her hand and said softly, "Wanxue, I have something to tell you."

There was a hint of nervousness in Ye Wanxue's eyes, but she still said firmly: "Ji Lian, no matter what happens, I will face it bravely."

Jiang Jilian nodded and told Ye Wanxue what his mother said and his own plans.

After hearing this, Ye Wanxue was silent for a moment, then said softly: "Ji Lian, I understand your difficulties. In this case, I am willing to give up everything just so that you can live a happy life."

Jiang Jilian was deeply moved. He hugged Ye Wanxue tightly and whispered, "Wanxue, you are the one I love most in my heart. I will spend my whole life to take care of you."

The two of them sat together in each other's arms until the night fell. Jiang Jilian decided to take Ye Wanxue home to express their feelings to his mother.

Back in the mansion, Jiang Jilian brought Ye Wanxue to Rongxi Hall. When Yu saw Ye Wanxue, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she soon regained her composure.

Jiang Jilian said to his mother: "Mom, I have told Wanxue the whole story. She is willing to give up everything for me."

Yu looked at Ye Wanxue and said with a smile: "In that case, I will no longer oppose you. But you must promise me that you will not act rashly in the future."
