Lu Yundi looked at Hongying's serious expression, and her heart was slightly moved. She said softly: "Hongying, you are a smart girl, I am naturally relieved. But, you also know the Marquis's temper. If he does something wrong, you should be more tolerant."

Hearing this, Hongying's eyes flashed with determination. She nodded and said, "Madam, Hongying understands. Although the Marquis has a bit of a strange temper, he is sincere to you, Madam. Hongying sees it. As long as I can help the Marquis, Hongying is willing to do anything."

Lu Yundi looked at Hongying, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She knew that this girl's loyalty and intelligence were what she relied on most in the mansion. She sighed and said, "Hongying, I appreciate your kindness. But you have to remember that although the Marquis is my husband, he is also the master of a mansion. His health is important and you can't be careless at all."

Hongying nodded seriously. She knew that the lady's concern for the Marquis was sincere, and she would also turn this concern into her own actions.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door, and then a servant came in with a stack of documents in his hand. He said to Lu Yundi, "Madam, this is the document that the Marquis just reviewed. Please take a look."

Lu Yundi took the document, glanced at it briefly, and then said to Hongying, "Hongying, you go down first. I need to deal with these documents."

Hongying responded and quietly retreated. She returned to Luoyan Garden, full of expectations. She knew that tonight, she would have the opportunity to get to know the Marquis better and also have the opportunity to do more for him.

As night fell, the lights in the garden of Zhenxing Marquis's mansion were dim, quiet and peaceful. Hongying stood in front of the window, looking at the night outside, her heart full of anticipation.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then the door was gently pushed open, and a familiar figure walked in. It was Jiang Jilian, with a trace of fatigue on his face, but his eyes were full of determination.

Hongying looked at Jiang Jilian, her heart filled with excitement. She walked forward, gently took off his coat, and then poured him a cup of tea.

Jiang Jilian looked at Hongying with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He knew that this girl's intelligence and loyalty were what he relied on most in the mansion. He took the teacup, took a sip, and then said to Hongying: "Hongying, I know you have many questions in your heart, but I want to tell you that I do this for this family and for my wife."

Hongying looked at Jiang Jilian, her heart full of emotion. She knew that the Marquis worked hard for this family and for his wife. She gently held Jiang Jilian's hand and said, "Marquis, don't worry, Hongying will always be by your side and share your burden."

......

In the evening, Lu Yundi, Xiang Zhu and Lu Luo, came to Jiang Lili's door in a hurry. Fuqiu, the head maid in Jiang Lili's room, hurried in to report: "Miss, Master Yinli, the Madam is here, please stop arguing."

The afterglow of the evening shone through the window lattice and onto the floor of Jiang Lili's room, casting a warm yellow hue. Jiang Lili was arguing with his younger brother Jiang Yinli, and when they heard Fuqiu's report, they looked at each other, both showing a hint of helplessness.

Jiang Lili calmed down, straightened her clothes, and walked out of the room. She saw Lu Yundi standing at the door with a serious face, followed by Xiang Zhu and Lu Luo. Jiang Lili bowed slightly and said, "Mother, you are here."

Lu Yundi glanced at Jiang Lili and said in a serious tone: "Lili, what are you arguing about with Yinli again?"

Jiang Lili hesitated for a moment and said, "Mom, we are just discussing some family matters."

Jiang Yinli also walked out of the room, looking a little embarrassed. He gently pulled Jiang Lili's sleeve, hinting her to stop talking.

Lu Yundi glanced at the two of them with sharp eyes and said, "Come in, let's talk."

The three of them entered the room one by one and sat down as host and guest. Lu Yundi sat in the main seat with a serious expression. Jiang Lili and Jiang Yinli sat opposite each other, both of them were a little nervous.

Xiang Zhu and Lu Luo poured fragrant tea for the two masters and servants respectively, and the atmosphere in the room was a little heavy for a moment. Jiang Lili took a sip of tea, trying to ease the tension in her heart, while Jiang Yinli bowed his head and said nothing, his fingers tapping the table unconsciously.

Lu Yundi took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Li Li, Yin Li, you two are my treasures, but I heard that things in the mansion have become more and more complicated recently. As the eldest son and daughter, you should know how to act prudently."

Jiang Lili lowered her head slightly and said softly, "We know what mother taught us."

Jiang Yinli also nodded, his expression slightly heavy: "Mother, we were indeed a little too impulsive. We will be more careful in the future."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes: "Okay, since you all realize it, then I am relieved. However, I still want to know the reason for your quarrel today. Lu Yundi's eyes moved back and forth between Jiang Lili and Jiang Yinli, and his tone was firm and gentle: "Lili, you speak first."

Jiang Lili pursed her lips, took a deep breath and said slowly: "Mother, actually what we are arguing about is a new rule in the mansion. Yinli thinks that we should manage the family expenses more strictly, while I think that the mansion is already frugal enough and there is no need to be too harsh."

Jiang Yinli couldn't help but interrupt when he heard this, "But Li Li, you know what? The expenses in the mansion really need to be carefully calculated. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, how can we deal with it?"

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, signaling Jiang Yinli to continue. Jiang Yinli then continued, "Besides, the situation in the court has been unstable recently, so we should prepare for a rainy day."

Jiang Lili frowned slightly and retorted, "Yinli, I know you are worried, but my mother and I are well aware of the financial situation in the mansion. We should not ignore our present happiness because of possible difficulties in the future."

The atmosphere in the room became tense. Lu Yundi tapped the table lightly, interrupting the argument between the two: "Okay, both of you have your own reasons. But as the pillars of the family, you must learn to look at things from a higher perspective."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lili and Jiang Yinli couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Lu Yundi continued, "Li Li, your idea is not unreasonable. We should indeed cherish the happiness in front of us, but Yinli's worries are also reasonable. We do need to be more cautious about the expenses of the mansion."

Jiang Lili bit her lower lip gently and whispered, "Mother, I understand. I will pay more attention in the future."

Jiang Yinli also said: "Mother, I won't be so impulsive anymore."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, his eyes full of relief: "Very good, I feel relieved now. You are all my treasures, I naturally hope that you can live in harmony and work together for the future of the family."
