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

Ye Wanxue smiled slightly, full of gratitude for Jiang Jilian's answer: "I'm much better now, thank you for your concern, Lord Marquis."

Jiang Jilian nodded, then turned to Jiang Yinli and said, "You go back first, I'm here."

Jiang Yinli responded and turned to leave. He walked out of the room, but his heart was even more confused.

When Ye Wanxue saw Jiang Jilian coming, she immediately sent Nanny Yin away and threw herself into Jiang Jilian's arms: "Jilian, I feel so miserable!"

Zhenxing Hou Jiang Jilian's body stiffened slightly. He didn't expect Ye Wanxue to express her emotions so directly. He patted Ye Wanxue's back gently, trying to calm her down: "I know you've been wronged."

Ye Wanxue raised her head, tears in her eyes, and her voice trembled a little: "I know I am just a concubine and have no right to ask for anything, but my heart... my heart is really bitter."

Jiang Jilian sighed. He knew that Ye Wanxue was not someone who coveted power. Her grievances and pain were real. He gently stroked her cheek and said softly, "I know you are a good woman. I have never treated you as a concubine."

Nanny Yin was listening outside the door, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.

Ye Wanxue was a gentle and virtuous woman. Despite her humble status, she never complained. She quietly retreated, praying in her heart that Zhenxing Hou would give Ye Wanxue more care.

In the room, Jiang Jilian gently held Ye Wanxue in his arms. His voice was low and gentle: "Xue'er, I know the pain in your heart. I will try my best to give you more care and love. But, there are some things that I have my own difficulties with."

Ye Wanxue's mood calmed down a little after hearing this. She looked up at Jiang Jilian, with a glimmer of understanding in her eyes: "I know you are doing this for the benefit of the family and for the stability of the country. I... I am willing to share the burden with you."

Jiang Jilian felt warm in his heart. Ye Wanxue was a sensible woman. He patted her hand gently and said, "Thank you, Xue'er. I will remember your kindness."

Jiang Jilian called Xiang Zhu in. Xiang Zhu presented a delicate little box and left. Jiang Jilian handed it to Ye Wanxue: "Xue'er, this is the calming incense I prepared for you. I hope it will make you feel better."

Ye Wanxue took the box and opened it. There were dozens of long and thin incense sticks inside, and the fragrance was fragrant. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she whispered, "Thank you, Ji Lian."

Jiang Jilian smiled, and looking at Ye Wanxue's smiling face, he couldn't help feeling a little satisfied. He gently stroked her hair and said, "Xue'er, I hope you can be happier."

Ye Wanxue smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "I will, Ji Lian. For you, I will try my best to make myself happy."

"It's getting late, I have to go," Jiang Jilian said reluctantly.

Ye Wanxue nodded, and watching Jiang Jilian leave, she couldn't help but feel a little relieved. At least, at this moment, she felt Jiang Jilian's care and love.

After Jiang Jilian left, Nanny Yin came in. She looked at Ye Wanxue with a hint of concern in her eyes: "Madam, are you okay?"

Ye Wanxue smiled slightly and shook her head: "I'm fine, Nanny Yin, you've worked hard."

Nanny Yin sighed and said, "Madam, you are always so kind and considerate. But in this world, people are treacherous, so you have to be careful."

Ye Wanxue gently patted Nanny Yin's hand and said, "I know, Nanny Yin, I will be careful."

Nanny Yin nodded, then turned around to prepare tea. She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Ye Wanxue would be safe and happy.

After Jiang Jilian finished receiving the guests, he returned to Ye Wanxue's room. He looked at Ye Wanxue with a trace of guilt in his eyes: "Xue'er, I have to deal with some things tonight, so I may not be able to accompany you."

Ye Wanxue smiled softly and said, "It's okay, Ji Lian, go ahead and do your work. I'll wait for you in the room."

Jiang Jilian nodded, hugged Ye Wanxue gently, then turned and left.

Xiang Zhu was surprised to see Jiang Jilian leaving Jinghong Garden where Ye Wanxue lived. After sending Ye Wanxue some incense to calm her spirit, she knocked on the door of Jiang Jilian's new concubine Hongying.

Xiang Zhu knocked gently on the door, and the door slowly opened. A face with delicate makeup appeared behind the door. It was Hongying. Hongying looked at Xiang Zhu, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, then she smiled and said, "Sister Xiang, it's you, come in."

Xiang Zhu walked into the room and looked around. He saw that the room was decorated warmly and gorgeously. It was obviously carefully arranged by Hongying. Xiang Zhu smiled and said, "Sister Hongying, you have decorated this place very well. I am really envious of you."

Hongying smiled, but a hint of barely perceptible sadness flashed in her eyes. She said, "Sister Xiang, you are joking. These are all arranged by the servants with great effort. I just live here."

After they sat down, Xiang Zhu looked at Hong Ying, wanting to say something but stopping. Hong Ying noticed something was wrong with Xiang Zhu and asked softly, "Sister Xiang, what's the matter?"

Xiang Zhu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Sister Hongying, I just came from Jinghong Garden and saw Lord Jiang leaving Sister Ye. I was a little worried."

Hongying's face changed slightly when she heard this, but she soon regained her composure. She smiled softly and said, "Sister Xiang, this is your family affair. As servants, it is not convenient for us to interfere too much."

Xiang Zhu frowned and said, "But Sister Hongying, Sister Ye..."

Hongying interrupted Xiang Zhu and said firmly: "Sister Xiang, I know you are worried, but I believe that the adults will handle it. Besides, Sister Ye is not such a fragile person."

Xiang Zhu felt helpless when she heard Hongying say this. She knew Hongying's personality. Once she made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. She sighed and said, "Okay, sister Hongying, I'm just worried about you two. I hope you can get along well."

Hongying looked at Xiang Zhu, a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes. She held Xiang Zhu's hand and said, "Thank you for your concern, Sister Xiang. I will remember it."

Xiang Zhu smiled slightly, feeling Hongying's warmth, patted Hongying's hand gently, and then said: "Then I'm relieved, sister Hongying, you have to take care of yourself too."

Hongying nodded, looking at Xiangzhu with eyes full of gratitude.

The two chatted about some family matters, and then Xiang Zhu stood up and said goodbye.

Xiang Zhu left Hongying's room, feeling heavy in his heart.

Walking in the corridor of the mansion, she was filled with thoughts. She thought of Ye Wanxue, the gentle woman who was so happy but now looked so haggard. She thought of Hongying, the strong woman who had been trying to adapt to the environment but could never really fit in.

Xiang Zhu was filled with emotion. She knew that these women were innocent and were just played a trick by fate.
