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

Therefore, Ye Wanxue and Jiang Jilian were assigned to the remote areas of the palace to manage the land and people's livelihood there. With a repentant heart, they worked conscientiously and responsibly, and gradually won the respect of the local people.

Jiang Lili became Lu Yundi's right-hand man. She was smart, good at handling complex interpersonal relationships, and became an indispensable talent in the palace.

Time passed like flowing water, Ye Wanxue and Jiang Jilian spent several years in remote areas, and their sincerity and efforts gradually moved Lu Yundi, who decided to give them a chance to return to the palace and start over.

When they stood in the meeting room of the palace again, Ye Wanxue and Jiang Jilian were filled with emotion. They looked at Lu Yundi and bowed deeply: "Madam, we thank you for your magnanimity. We are willing to be loyal to you forever and contribute our own strength to the prosperity and stability of the palace."

Lu Yundi smiled and nodded: "I have seen your sincerity. From now on, you are all loyal subjects of my palace. Let us work together for the future of the palace."

In the meeting room, everyone looked at Ye Wanxue and Jiang Jilian with admiration. They knew that the couple had truly repented and reformed, and had become an indispensable part of the palace.

Jiang Lili was filled with emotion as she watched her parents change. She knew that all this was due to Lu Yundi, who gave her parents a chance to start a new life. She decided to work harder and make her own contribution to the prosperity of the palace.

Ye Wanxue and Jiang Jilian knelt down slowly, facing the officials and guards in the palace, their eyes full of despair and pleading. They knew that the arrival of this moment meant that they would endure endless humiliation and punishment in front of everyone.

"Everyone in the palace, we were wrong. We have committed an unforgivable crime." Ye Wanxue's voice was choked with sobs. She tried to make her voice sound more determined, but she could not hide the sadness in it.

Jiang Jilian continued, "We are sorry to the palace, to the lady, and to Li Li. We are willing to accept any punishment."

There was silence in the meeting room. Everyone was watching this scene. No one spoke. The atmosphere was so depressing that it was almost impossible to breathe.

Lu Yundi looked at Ye Wanxue and Jiang Jilian, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, then she turned her head and said to Jiang Lili: "Lili, did you see it? Their crimes, their confessions, this is the price they paid for you."

Jiang Lili looked at her parents, tears falling down her cheeks, her heart filled with pain and contradiction. She knew that her parents' crimes could not be easily forgiven, but how could she bear to see them being punished like this?

At this moment, a guard rushed in and reported to Lu Yundi that there was urgent news and she needed to deal with it immediately. Lu Yundi frowned, winked at Ziyuan, and then hurriedly left the meeting room.

Zi Yuan took Jiang Li Li back to her room and closed the door. Jiang Li Li couldn't hold back her tears. Zi Yuan patted her shoulder to comfort her.

"Madam will definitely handle this fairly, don't worry." Zi Yuan said softly.

Jiang Lili nodded. She knew that Lu Yundi was her mother and she would definitely handle the matter fairly. However, her heart was still filled with uneasiness and worry.

Jiang Lili's tears fell like pearls from a broken string, and her heart seemed to be pierced by thousands of arrows, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe. Zi Yuan looked at her and felt sympathy for her experience, but she knew how powerless her comfort was to Jiang Lili.

"Li Li, do you know?" Zi Yuan said slowly, "Madam has always cared about you. Her love for you is no less than that for your biological mother. She has been looking for an opportunity for you to return to her side."

Jiang Lili raised her head, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes: "Really? Madam will really do this to me?"

Zi Yuan nodded: "Of course, the love that Madam has for you cannot be replaced by anyone. However, over the years, she has had too many concerns and pressures and cannot express them immediately."

At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and Lu Yundi walked in. Her eyes were full of fatigue, but when she saw Jiang Lili, her eyes immediately softened.

"Li Li, are you okay?" Lu Yundi asked softly. She sat beside Jiang Li Li's bed and gently held her hand.

Jiang Lili nodded, tears welling up in her eyes again: "Madam, I...I don't know what to do."

Lu Yundi sighed softly: "I know this is a very difficult decision for you. However, you must understand that the crimes committed by Ye Wanxue and Jiang Jilian have violated the rules of the palace and even the laws of the country. As the master of the palace, I have to make a fair judgment."

Jiang Lili bit her lip. She knew that what her lady said was the truth, but she still couldn't accept this reality in her heart.

"Madam, can I...can I ask you a favor?" Jiang Lili hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to ask.

Lu Yundi looked at her, his eyes full of love: "Tell me, Li Li, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to you."

Jiang Lili took a deep breath and said, "Please, Madam, don't sentence my parents too harshly. They are my parents after all, and I can't bear to see them punished too much."

Lu Yundi was silent for a moment. She knew that Jiang Lili's request was not unreasonable, but she could not go against the rules of the palace.

"I will consider your request, but you must also understand that this is not an easy matter. I will do my best to fight for you, but the final result depends on the prince's intention."

Jiang Lili nodded, she knew that the lady had done her best.

In the following days, the atmosphere in the palace became increasingly tense. Ye Wanxue and Jiang Jilian were imprisoned in the dungeon of the palace, awaiting their final trial. Lu Yundi was running around, trying to gain more rights for Jiang Lili.

During this period, officials and guards in the palace began to intrigue for their own interests. Some wanted to use this incident to suppress their opponents and consolidate their own positions; others wanted to plead for Ye Wanxue and Jiang Jilian to prevent them from being punished too severely.

During a meeting, an official stood up and said to Lu Yundi: "Madam, although Ye Wanxue and Jiang Jilian have committed crimes, they are also old people in the palace and have made many contributions to the palace over the years. Can we give them a chance to reform?"

Lu Yundi frowned. She knew that the official's proposal was not made out of public interest, but rather he wanted to use this opportunity to gain more power for himself.

"I understand what you mean, but I must emphasize that the crimes committed by Ye Wanxue and Jiang Jilian have violated the rules of the palace. If I do not make a fair judgment, then the rules of the palace will be gone. This will be a great harm to me, to the palace, and to the entire country."
