Ye Wanxue had indeed become more restrained, no longer arguing with others easily, and paying more attention to her words and actions.
However, Jiang Yinyi's attitude towards her did not change much, and he still made sarcastic remarks from time to time.
On this day, Ye Wanxue was admiring the flowers in the garden. Jiang Yinyi suddenly came over with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "Miss Ye, what are you doing? Don't you know that this is a place you shouldn't come to?"
Ye Wanxue smiled slightly and said calmly: "Master Yinyi, there is no rule that prohibits me from coming. I just want to appreciate the beautiful scenery in the mansion."
Jiang Yinyi snorted coldly: "Beautiful scenery? How can a person of your status enjoy beautiful scenery? You are just a concubine of my father, and you dare to be so arrogant here."
Ye Wanxue's eyes flashed with anger, but she quickly regained her composure: "Master Yinyi, I know that my status is low, but I also have my dignity. I hope you can respect me and stop talking to me in this tone."
Jiang Yinyi's eyes widened, as if he didn't expect Ye Wanxue to refute him like this: "You... you dare to talk back to me?"
Ye Wanxue smiled softly: "I just hope that we can live in peace. After all, we are all in this mansion, and we will see each other every day."
Jiang Yinyi glared at Ye Wanxue and turned away. Ye Wanxue looked at his back and felt bitter. She knew that she still had a long way to go to truly integrate into this mansion.
Meanwhile, Yu was discussing household affairs with Zhenxing Marquis Jiang Jilian. Yu couldn't help but mention Ye Wanxue: "Jilian, look at this concubine you took in. She actually dared to contradict Yinyi. How can this be tolerated?"
Jiang Jilian smiled slightly: "Mother, I know you are worried. But Miss Ye also has her own difficulties. I will educate her well."
Yu sighed: "I just hope that she can truly integrate into this mansion and not cause any more trouble."
Jiang Jilian nodded: "Don't worry, mother, I will handle it well."
......
Jiang Jilian touched his nose and said, "Yundi, what mother meant just now is that she wants you to help manage the shops in the Zhenxing Marquis Mansion and see if you can make the shops' business prosperous." Lu Yundi was stunned when he heard this.
Lu Yundi was stunned when she heard this, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. She had never thought that she, a woman who had always been bound in the mansion and managed household affairs, would be entrusted with such an important task. She bit her lip lightly and looked at Jiang Jilian, trying to find a trace of joking in his eyes, but his eyes were serious.
"Ji Lian, are you...are you serious?" Lu Yundi's voice trembled slightly.
Jiang Jilian nodded, his expression becoming serious: "Yun Di, I know you have always been concerned about the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion, and your intelligence and talent are far superior to mine. I believe that only you can bring new vitality to those shops."
Lu Yundi was silent for a moment, with a thousand thoughts in her mind. She knew that this was an opportunity and also a challenge. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then slowly said: "In that case, I will give it a try. However, I have one condition."
Jiang Jilian raised his eyebrows: "What conditions?"
Lu Yundi smiled slightly, his eyes firm: "I want you to accompany me."
Jiang Jilian was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Yun Di, are you testing me? Since you said so, I will accompany you."
The atmosphere between the two of them instantly became relaxed. In the hall of the Zhenxing Marquis's mansion, besides the two of them, there were also several servants and maids. They watched the changes in their master's expression, secretly guessing what had happened.
In the following days, Jiang Jilian and Lu Yundi began to frequently appear in various shops in Zhenxing Marquis Mansion. They went deep into the grass-roots level to understand the business conditions of the shops, talked cordially with the shop assistants, and listened to their opinions and suggestions.
In a cloth shop, Lu Yundi looked at the old goods and frowned: "These cloths are outdated. We need to find a way to update the goods and keep up with the trend."
Jiang Jilian nodded and said, "You are right. However, updating the products requires a lot of funds. We have to solve the funding problem first."
A gleam of brilliance flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes: "I have an idea. We can borrow money from outsiders and use the money we earn to repay the debt. This way, we can not only solve the funding problem, but also give the shop new vitality."
Jiang Jilian nodded in agreement: "Good idea, let's do as you say."
Under the leadership of Lu Yundi, the shop of Zhenxinghou Mansion gradually regained new vitality. She not only updated the goods, but also changed the business strategy, making the business more and more prosperous.
On this day, Jiang Jilian and Lu Yundi were checking accounts in a jewelry store. When the shop assistants saw them, they greeted them respectfully.
"My lord, my lady, you are here." A waiter came up to greet them warmly.
Jiang Jilian smiled slightly: "How is business lately?"
The waiter's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "My Lord, Madam, since you came to manage our shop, our business has improved a lot and our customer base has stabilized."
Lu Yundi smiled slightly, her eyes full of relief. She turned to look at Jiang Jilian, who happened to be looking at her. Their eyes met in the air, and they both saw the appreciation and love in each other's eyes.
"Yundi, you did a great job." Jiang Jilian whispered.
Lu Yundi blushed slightly and lowered her head: "This is what I should do."
......
Hongying, who lived in Luoyan Garden, was told by Jiang Jilian's entourage that Jiang Jilian would come to her place in the evening. She was very happy!
When she heard that Lu Yundi wanted to discuss something with her, she went there happily.
Hongying walked briskly through the winding garden path, her heart full of sweet expectations. She came to the main room of Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion, and saw Lu Yundi sitting by the window, holding an ancient book in his hand, with a hint of contemplation between his eyebrows.
"Madam, what do you want to talk to me about?" Hongying asked softly, with curiosity and admiration in her eyes.
Lu Yundi put down the book in her hand, raised her head, glanced at Hongying lightly, and understood her thoughts. She smiled slightly, and that smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, warm and gentle.
"Hongying, do you know why I want to talk to you about this?" Lu Yundi asked slowly, with a barely perceptible tenderness in his voice.
Hongying lowered her head slightly, with a shy smile on her lips, "Madam, I guess it's because of the Marquis."
Lu Yundi nodded slightly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, "Yes, it is about the Marquis. The affairs of the mansion have been busy recently, and I am worried that he is too tired, so I want you to help take care of him."
A hint of surprise flashed in Hongying's eyes. She didn't expect that the lady would entrust such an important matter to her. She hurriedly responded with a serious and determined expression.
"Madam, rest assured. Hongying will do her best to live up to your expectations."
