Yu nodded and said with emotion: "Yes, we have to think about Yuqi's future. If she can marry Young Marquis Chu, she will have someone to rely on for the rest of her life. It's a pity that I don't have any dowry that I can show off, and I'm afraid that the Chu family will look down on me."

The matchmaker comforted her, "Madam, don't worry. Young Marquis Chu is not a snobbish person. Moreover, our Zhenxing Marquis's family background is not bad. As long as we are sincere, the Chu family should accept it."

Yu nodded slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Xi Po. You have to spend more time and help our Yuqi find this marriage."

The matchmaker smiled and promised: "Don't worry, Madam. I will do my best to seek happiness for the young lady."

Jiang Yuqi watched the conversation between the two elders, feeling both excited and nervous.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself.

Jiang Yuqi's eyes flashed with determination, and she slowly spoke. Although her voice was soft, it was very firm: "Mother, Xi Po, don't worry, Yuqi will not let you down."

Yu and the matchmaker smiled at each other, their eyes full of relief. Yu patted Jiang Yuqi's hand gently and said softly, "Good child, I know you know what's going on. As long as you are happy, your brother and I will be relieved."

The matchmaker nodded, with a shrewd look in her eyes: "Miss, we have to take our time on this matter and not be impatient. We have an idea of ​​the attitude of the young Marquis Chu, but we still have to see what his family thinks. I will go and test the waters first to see what the Chu family thinks."

Jiang Yuqi smiled slightly and agreed with the arrangement of Xi Po. Xi Po was the most reliable person in the mansion. With her help, her wish might come true.

......

"What? Lu Yundi hit you. How dare Lu Yundi hit you?" Jiang Jilian was shocked. Could it be that Lu Yundi knew about the relationship between Ye Wanxue and him? "

Jiang Jilian frowned, feeling uneasy. He knew Lu Yundi's temper very well. If she really hit Ye Wanxue, then the matter must be extremely serious. He quickened his pace and hurried back to Zhenxing Marquis Mansion.

The atmosphere in the mansion was tense, and the servants all lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound. Jiang Jilian ran straight to the backyard, only to see Ye Wanxue huddled in a corner, with obvious slap marks on her face, and her eyes full of fear and grievance.

"Where is the madam?" Jiang Jilian asked in a deep voice.

"Madam is waiting for the Marquis in the main hall." A servant replied tremblingly.

Jiang Jilian snorted coldly and walked straight to the main hall. He pushed the door open and saw Lu Yundi sitting in the main seat, his face was livid and his eyes were flashing coldly.

"Ji Lian, you're finally back." Lu Yundi's tone was cold, but his eyes were staring straight at Jiang Ji Lian.

"Madam, what's going on?" Jiang Jilian suppressed his anger and tried to remain calm.

"How dare you ask me this? Look at what a good concubine you have!" Lu Yundi pointed at Ye Wanxue who was huddled in the corner, his tone full of sarcasm.

Jiang Jilian turned his head and looked at Ye Wanxue. Her originally pretty face was now swollen, tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall.

"Madam, she is just a helpless woman, why do you treat her like this?" Jiang Jilian tried to defend Ye Wanxue.

"A helpless woman? She is the concubine of the Marquis of Zhenxing! She dared to overstep her authority at the banquet in the mansion and commit insubordination. How can I let her off easily?" Lu Yundi said angrily.

Jiang Jilian was annoyed, but he still suppressed his emotions and tried to calm the storm: "Madam, she just doesn't know the rules. It's enough for you to teach her a lesson. Why do you have to do it?"

"Hmph, are you heartbroken? You feel sorry for your concubine, but forget how I feel!" Lu Yundi widened his eyes, tears welling up in his eyes.

Jiang Jilian was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and tried to ease the atmosphere: "Madam, I know I was wrong. I will discipline her strictly in the future and make her behave properly."

Lu Yundi was not calmed down by this, but became even more angry: "Discipline her strictly? You said that so easily! Do you think I don't know the relationship between you two? You support her outside, but she dares to act like a mistress in front of me. How can I tolerate such betrayal!"

Jiang Jilian was shocked. He didn't expect that Lu Yundi already knew about their affair. He took a deep breath and tried to explain: "Madam, I did have a private relationship with her, but I never thought of betraying you. She just accompanied me when I was lonely, and I didn't let her overstep her boundaries."

As soon as Jiang Jilian finished speaking, Lu Yundi's eyes flashed with doubt, but it was quickly replaced by anger. She stood up, pointed at Jiang Jilian, and said in a trembling voice:

"Companion? Loneliness? Who do you think I am? Do you think I don't know about your private affairs? Where do you put the reputation of Zhenxing Marquisate?"

Jiang Jilian raised his head and looked at Lu Yundi firmly: "Madam, I know I was wrong, and I am willing to accept any punishment. But please don't treat Wanxue like this, she is just a weak woman."

There was a trace of struggle in Lu Yundi's eyes, but she quickly calmed down and said coldly: "Weak woman? If she was really weak, how dare she act like this behind my back? Ji Lian, look at her, look at her betrayal of you!"

As she spoke, Lu Yundi pointed at Ye Wanxue, her eyes full of resentment. Ye Wanxue's body trembled involuntarily, she bit her lips tightly, not daring to make a sound.

Ye Wanxue couldn't hold back her tears and she lowered her head, sobbing silently. Jiang Jilian felt as if his heart was stabbed by a needle. He took a deep breath and tried to find a solution to the problem.

"Madam, I know she was wrong, but she was just impulsive and she doesn't understand the rules of this mansion." Jiang Jilian's voice was low and sincere. He tried to make Lu Yundi understand Ye Wanxue's situation.

Lu Yundi sneered: "Impulsive? Her behavior has violated my bottom line. Ji Lian, do you think I treated her like this out of jealousy? I tell you, I did it for the face of Zhenxing Marquis Mansion, for you, and for the honor of our family!"

Jiang Jilian was silent for a moment. He understood Lu Yundi's feelings, but he also couldn't bear to see Ye Wanxue being treated like this. He said slowly: "Madam, I know your difficulties, but I beg you, don't treat her like this. After all, she is my blood."

A hint of complex emotions flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes, but she quickly returned to her indifference: "Blood connection? What qualifications do you think you have to mention blood connection? Can I tolerate you having an affair outside?"

This sentence seemed to have lit a fuse, and Jiang Jilian's emotions also became excited: "Madam, I know I was wrong, but I never thought of hurting you. My feelings for Wanxue are real, and my feelings for you are also real."

A trace of pain flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes. She covered her chest with her hands, her voice trembling a little: "Real? A man like you, what qualifications do you have to talk about feelings? How can I believe you?"
