Jiang Yinli felt a little comforted when he heard this. He knew that his father was a kind and loyal man and would not let his mother get hurt.

Jiang Jilian had indeed made careful arrangements for Ye Wanxue's arrival as he said. He first summoned the housekeepers and servants in the mansion and sternly warned them that they must not let Ye Wanxue's affairs affect the peace of the mansion in any case.

Not long after Lu Yundi's cousin Yan Qingyu left Zhenxing Marquis Mansion, Jiang Lili was immediately brought back by the palace carriage.

She stepped into Lu Yundi's Fuyun Garden, and all she saw were various rare items left behind by Yan Qingyu.

Jiang Lili gently stroked those objects, her eyes shining, and she couldn't let go. In the Zhenxing Marquis's mansion, the spring sunshine shone through the window lattices, sprinkled on the exquisite rosewood furniture, and a warm luster appeared.

Lu Yundi sat in the warm room of Fuyun Garden, looking tenderly at his eldest daughter Jiang Lili who had just returned.

Jiang Lili's fingers gently slid over the rare things left by Yan Qingyu, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and joy. She turned to Lu Yundi and smiled, "Mother, my cousin is so generous. I have never seen these precious things before."

Lu Yundi smiled, her eyes showing deep love: "She gave you these beloved things because she loves you. But, Li Li, you have to keep them well, they are priceless treasures."

Jiang Lili nodded, a trace of seriousness flashed in her eyes: "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely cherish it."

At this time, the door of Fuyun Garden was gently pushed open, and the maid Xiang Zhu walked in with a plate of fresh cakes in her hands. She placed the cakes on the table and said to Lu Yundi, "Madam, this is the peach blossom cake that the kitchen has just made, specially prepared for Miss."

Lu Yundi nodded gently and said to Xiang Zhu, "Go ahead. You don't need to serve here anymore."

After Xiang Zhu left, Lu Yundi looked at Jiang Lili and smiled, "Lili, are you used to the palace these days?" Jiang Lili smiled slightly, with nostalgia in her eyes: "Mother, although the days in the palace are busy, there are also many new things. I'm fine, don't worry."

Lu Yundi sighed softly and said, "I know you are a strong child, but after all, you are in the palace, so you have to be careful about everything. Especially those palace fights, you have to learn to protect yourself."

Jiang Lili's eyes flashed with determination. She gently held Lu Yundi's hand and said firmly: "Mother, I know the palace is complicated, but I have the wisdom you taught me, and I will keep it in mind."

Lu Yundi watched her daughter grow up, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She stroked Jiang Lili's hair and smiled, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Since you're back today, I've prepared some dishes you like. Let's go eat."

The two of them came to the side hall together, where the table was already filled with a variety of delicious dishes.

Lu Yundi personally picked up food for Jiang Lili, her eyes full of doting. Jiang Lili also ate with gusto, and talked with her mother about interesting things in the palace from time to time.

After lunch, the two returned to Fuyun Garden. Jiang Lili sat on the couch by the window, holding a book in her hands. Lu Yundi sat on the rosewood chair opposite her, looking at her daughter's focused profile, feeling a little emotional.

"Li Li, have you ever encountered any difficulties as a study companion in the palace?" Lu Yundi asked softly.

Jiang Lili put down the book in her hand and said seriously: "Mother, it is not easy to be a companion in the palace. I must always be vigilant, not only to deal with the rules and etiquette of the palace, but also to deal with those who are jealous of me."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a shrewd look in his eyes: "I know you, you are a smart child, these should not be difficult for you."

Jiang Lili smiled, but a trace of worry flashed in her eyes: "Mother, the struggle in the palace is far more complicated than I thought. Sometimes, I don't even know who is sincere to me and who is secretly calculating."

Lu Yundi frowned slightly, patted Jiang Lili's hand, and comforted her: "Lili, you just need to remember that no matter what time, you have me and the Zhenxing Marquisate as your backing. In addition, you also have your brothers and sisters, who will fight alongside you."

Jiang Lili's eyes flashed with gratitude, and she held Lu Yundi's hand tightly: "Mother, I know. I will be more careful and won't let you worry."

Outside the window, the spring sunshine shines through the window lattice and falls on the two of them, forming a beautiful light and shadow.

In the evening, Jiang Lili was ready to return to the palace. Lu Yundi personally saw her off, with a look of reluctance in her eyes.

Jiang Lili hugged her mother tightly and said softly, "Mom, I will be back soon. Please take care of yourself."

Lu Yundi gently patted her daughter's back and said with a smile, "Go, Li Li, remember to write back and let me know how you are doing in the palace."

Jiang Lili nodded, turned around, got on the carriage, and disappeared at the gate of Zhenxing Marquis Mansion.

......

As soon as Ye Wanxue left Rongxi Hall, Lu Yundi approached Yu and whispered, "Mother-in-law, although Miss Ye has a good relationship with the Jiang family, I vaguely feel that she seems to be born with a star sign of bad luck. How about asking a fortune teller to do some calculations for her?"

Although Lu Yundi's words were light, they were like a stone falling into the center of a lake, causing ripples.

Yu frowned slightly. She had always believed in fate, but she had already made up her mind about Ye Wanxue's matter. "Yun Di, what do you mean?" Yu asked slowly, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

Lu Yundi smiled lightly, with a cunning look in her eyes: "Mother-in-law, I am just worried that if Miss Ye is really a star of misfortune, it might be bad for our family."

Yu Shi pondered for a moment and said, "Ji Lian has decided to take her as a concubine. As a mother-in-law, I should respect his choice. However, what you said makes sense. We might as well find a reliable fortune teller to find out the truth."

After saying this, Yu ordered her servants to invite a fortune teller. At the same time, she turned to Lu Yundi, and the two returned to the inner room together.

After a while, the fortune teller was led into the inner room. He was about fifty years old, with white hair and beard, deep eyes, and a mysterious aura. He bowed to Yu and Lu Yundi, and then began to tell Ye Wanxue's fortune.

"Miss Ye's horoscope shows the presence of the Star God and the bright Purple Star. She is indeed a rare beauty." The fortune teller said slowly.

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, secretly delighted. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Yu ask, "Does she really have the appearance of a star of misfortune?"

The fortune teller pondered for a moment and said, "Although there is evil energy in Miss Ye's horoscope, she is not doomed to fail. There is a certain amount of evil energy in her life, but it can be resolved with proper treatment." Upon hearing this, Yu breathed a sigh of relief. She had a good impression of Ye Wanxue to begin with, and now she was even more relieved.

"In that case, I'll trouble you, sir." Yu ordered someone to reward the fortune teller, and then asked him to leave. Only Yu and Lu Yundi were left in the inner room.

The two smiled at each other, and Yu said, "Yun Di, you are a smart person. You handled this matter very well."
