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

Lu Yundi saw Pei Xinyue winking at Chu Qirui, and Chu Qirui did not immediately stop Jiang Yuqi from fighting Pei Xinyue. This made Lu Yundi suspicious. Chu Qirui seemed to have bad intentions towards the Jiang family!

On the second floor of Jiang's Teahouse, a faint sandalwood scent emanates from the mahogany tables and chairs, and the sunlight shines through the window lattices onto the ancient stone road, casting mottled shadows. Inside the teahouse, people of all kinds shuttle back and forth, making it lively and bustling, except for a few people in the corner, where the atmosphere is a little tense.

Lu Yundi sat in the first seat, her eyes scanning Jiang Yuqi and Pei Xinyue in the room sharply. She was suspicious, but she didn't show it on her face. She just gently picked up the teacup and took a sip.

At this time, Jiang Yuqi had already walked in front of Pei Xinyue and said angrily: "Pei Xinyue, you are just a cousin, how dare you show such disrespect in front of me, have you forgotten your identity?"

Pei Xinyue was not willing to be outdone. She straightened her back and sneered, "Jiang Yuqi, what qualifications do you have to teach me? Who do you think you are? You are just a sister of a marquis, but you really take yourself seriously."

The tension between the two became increasingly intense. Seeing this, Chu Qirui did not stop it immediately, but just frowned slightly.

"What are you two doing? Fighting in a teahouse, how can you be so disrespectful?" Lu Yundi shouted coldly.

Jiang Yuqi and Pei Xinyue looked at Lu Yundi at the same time, with a flash of panic in their eyes. Jiang Yuqi couldn't help but say, "Mother, she provoked me first. I can't stand it anymore."

Pei Xinyue also hurriedly explained: "Madam, she was the one who glared at me first, I was just defending myself."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, turned his gaze to Chu Qirui, and said calmly: "Qirui, as the young marquis of Chongren Marquis's Mansion, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Chu Qirui's eyes wandered between Jiang Yuqi and Pei Xinyue for a moment, and finally fell on Lu Yundi. He smiled slightly, trying to ease the tense atmosphere with a relaxed tone: "Madam, this is indeed a misunderstanding. Yuqi, Xinyue, you are both my good friends, I don't want to see you quarreling over trivial matters."

Jiang Yuqi's anger subsided a little after hearing this, but she still glanced at Pei Xinyue unwillingly. Pei Xinyue raised her head slightly with an unyielding smile on her lips.

"But, Qirui, this is not a trivial matter." Jiang Yuqi said firmly, "Your cousin is so rude in front of me. If I ignore it, won't people think I'm easy to bully?"

Chu Qirui sighed softly and turned to look at Pei Xinyue: "Xinyue, if you have any grievances, you can tell me. Yuqi, you are too much. After all, this is the Jiang family teahouse, not a place for you to be alone."

Pei Xinyue's eyes flashed with pride. She knew that Chu Qirui was on her side. But she still pretended to be a victim and whispered, "I just accidentally touched her, but she got angry at me. I... I really feel wronged."

Jiang Yuqi's face burned with anger after hearing this. She was about to retort, but was interrupted by Lu Yundi coldly: "Okay, that's enough! You two are both adults, don't you even know basic etiquette?"

The quarrel between the two was suppressed by Lu Yundi's majesty, and the atmosphere in the teahouse gradually returned to calm. Although Jiang Yuqi and Pei Xinyue were dissatisfied in their hearts, they had to restrain themselves temporarily in front of Lu Yundi.

Chu Qirui watched this scene and thought secretly in his heart. He knew that Lu Yundi was a shrewd woman and would not let this matter go easily. He had to come up with a best of both worlds solution that could calm Jiang Yuqi's anger and not let Pei Xinyue feel neglected.

"Madam, I think the key to this matter lies in communication. Yuqi, Xinyue, you are all smart people, why can't you sit down and have a good talk?" Chu Qirui suggested.

Jiang Yuqi snorted coldly, obviously unwilling to accept this proposal. Pei Xinyue's eyes flashed with hesitation, but she finally nodded.

"Okay, since Qirui said so, I'll give her a chance. But she must apologize to me." Jiang Yuqi said firmly.

Pei Xinyue bit her lower lip and said reluctantly: "Okay, I apologize to you. I hope you can forgive me."

Jiang Yuqi's expression eased a little, but she was still a little unhappy. Seeing this, Lu Yundi sighed inwardly.

Although the quarrel was temporarily settled, the grudge between the two sides was not truly resolved.

"Okay, now that the matter has been resolved, you all can go back. Qirui, you stay, I have something to tell you." Lu Yundi said.

Chu Qirui was slightly stunned, then nodded and followed Lu Yundi to the side.

"Madam, just say whatever you want to say." Chu Qirui said calmly.

Lu Yundi looked at him deeply and said in a serious tone: "Qi Rui, I know you have no ill will towards my Jiang family, but you have to understand that Yuqi is my only daughter, and I don't want her to be hurt in any way."

Chu Qirui's eyes flashed with a complicated emotion, and he nodded gently: "Madam, I will. I will discipline Xinyue well and let her no longer affect the peace of the Jiang family."

Lu Yundi frowned slightly, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind. She glanced at Chu Qirui, who was trying to mediate, and saw a gentle smile on his face, but a hint of subtle depth flashed in his eyes. She couldn't help but wonder, why would such a thoughtful and well-behaved man part ways with Jiang Jilian and finally leave the capital?

She coughed lightly to draw Chu Qirui's attention to herself. Chu Qirui smiled slightly, walked to her side, and asked, "Madam, what can I do for you?" Lu Yundi smiled slightly, pointed to the teacup on the table and said, "Young Marquis Chu, how does this tea taste?"

Chu Qirui took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "The tea brewed by Madam is naturally good tea. However, I am more interested in what Madam is thinking today." Lu Yundi's eyes flashed, she knew that Chu Qirui had noticed her temptation, so she said frankly: "I do have something I want to ask Young Marquis Chu."

Lu Yundi's eyes were firm, and she said softly, "Young Marquis Chu, you and Jiang Jilian were once close friends, why did you end up in such a situation? Can you teach me something?"

Chu Qirui frowned slightly, and he looked at Lu Yundi, with a hint of complex emotions in his eyes. After a moment, he gently put down the teacup in his hand and slowly said, "Madam, you know, some things in this world are not as simple as they seem. Jiang Jilian and I were once close, but things are unpredictable, and some misunderstandings and barriers are ultimately difficult to overcome."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly. She knew that Chu Qirui had not fully answered her question, but she was not in a hurry to ask more. She smiled lightly and asked, "Then why did you leave the capital?"

Chu Qirui's eyes flashed with hesitation, but he quickly regained his composure: "Madam, I want to change my environment and find a more peaceful life. Although the capital is prosperous, there are too many disputes. What I yearn for is a life indifferent to fame and fortune."
