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

Lu Yundi smiled and said, "Being polite is also an attitude, which shows that your status in the palace has changed. However, behind the politeness, there may be jealousy and calculation. Li'er, you must remember that there is no trivial matter in the palace, and you must always be vigilant."

Jiang Lili cried and begged, "Mother, please help me. I know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually likes me."

A hint of surprise flashed across Lu Yundi's eyes. She gently patted Jiang Lili's hand and said softly, "Li'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you so sure of the prince's feelings for you?"

Jiang Lili raised her tearful eyes and sobbed, "Mother, ever since I entered the palace as a tutor, the Crown Prince has always been very caring towards me, and sometimes even gave me small gifts. Although he never said it explicitly, I can feel that he has feelings for me."

Lu Yundi sighed, with deep worry in his eyes: "Li'er, the water in the palace is too complicated. You are not experienced in the world, how can you easily judge the prince's intentions? Perhaps all this is just his power and means."

"No, mother, I won't be wrong." Jiang Lili insisted, her tears rolling down her cheeks, looking extremely determined.

Seeing her daughter like this, Lu Yundi couldn't help but waver. She pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Okay, since you insist, I will help you investigate. But you must promise me that no matter what the result is, you must remain calm and not act rashly."

Jiang Lili nodded quickly, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes: "Thank you, mother. I will definitely listen to you."

Jiang Lili's tears gradually stopped, and she held Lu Yundi's hand tightly, as if it was her only support. Lu Yundi sighed softly, but his heart was full of thoughts.

In the palace, one wrong step can lead to a complete failure. But her daughter was so pure and innocent, how could she bear to tell her this cruel truth.

"Li'er, you go back first and have a good rest. I will help you keep an eye on the prince's movements in secret, but remember, don't show anything unusual in the palace so as not to attract attention." Lu Yundi said softly.

Jiang Lili nodded, stood up, tidied her clothes, and left the room. Lu Yundi looked at his daughter's back as she left, and his heart became heavier.

She must act as soon as possible, otherwise once His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finds a new favor, Jiang Lili's heart will be broken.

As night fell, the lights in the mansion were bright, but Lu Yundi had no intention of enjoying this moment of peace. She called a trusted maid and whispered a few words to her. The maid took the order and left, disappearing into the night.

The next day, news from the palace came in like a stream of water. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not make any special moves today, and everything seemed calm.

But Lu Yundi knew that behind this calmness, there must be a turbulent undercurrent.

In the afternoon, Jiang Lili came to Lu Yundi's room again, her eyes full of anticipation and nervousness. Lu Yundi looked at her daughter and couldn't help feeling distressed.

"Li'er, please sit down first. I have something to tell you." Lu Yundi said softly.

Jiang Lili sat down as she was told. She looked at her mother, but she was so nervous that she couldn't breathe.

Lu Yundi pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Li'er, I know that your feelings for the prince are sincere, but you have to understand that in the palace, emotions are often the most unreliable things. The prince's attitude towards you may just be a temporary favor, or it may just be his political scheme."

A trace of disappointment flashed across Jiang Lili's eyes, but she quickly said firmly: "Mother, I don't believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be so heartless. He must have feelings for me."

Lu Yundi looked at her daughter, feeling somewhat helpless, but she still said, "Okay, since you insist so much, I will help you again. However, you must promise me that no matter what the result is, you must face it with strength."

Jiang Lili nodded quickly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Thank you, mother. I will definitely be strong."

........

Only then did Jiang Jilian realize that Ye Wanxue was beaten at Jiang Lili's door, and Jiang Lili actually stayed indoors and refused to come out.

Jiang Jilian felt mixed emotions when he learned that Ye Wanxue was beaten. He originally didn't have much affection for Ye Wanxue, but because of her performance in the mansion, he had the value to use her. However, when he saw Ye Wanxue being beaten so miserably, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He turned his head and looked at the tightly closed door, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. Jiang Lili, his eldest daughter, actually stayed indoors under such circumstances, which surprised him. He knew Jiang Lili and knew that she was a kind and upright child. When she saw Ye Wanxue being beaten, she should have come out to stop it.

Jiang Jilian stood at the scene where Ye Wanxue was beaten, staring at the closed door with complicated eyes. He was increasingly confused and puzzled by Jiang Lili's behavior.

Jiang Jilian frowned, the contradictions in his heart surged like a tide. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Jiang Lili was lying on the table and crying. When she knew Jiang Jilian came into the room, she cried even louder.

As soon as Jiang Jilian came in, he asked, "Li Li, do you know everything that happened just now?"

Jiang Lili raised her tear-stained cheeks, her almond-shaped eyes were red and swollen like ripe peaches. Her shoulders trembled and she answered with a sob, "Father, I know everything... I... I'm really scared." There was a hint of fear and uneasiness in her voice.

Jiang Jilian frowned, his eyes revealing deep worry. He walked to his daughter, gently stroked her hair, and tried to make his voice as gentle as possible: "Li Li, listen to your father, you don't have to take these things too seriously. Disputes in the mansion have always been like this, you have to learn to face them."

Jiang Lili sobbed, tears streaming down her cheeks. She clutched Jiang Jilian's sleeve tightly and said in a weak voice, "But father, I'm not afraid of these fights. I'm afraid that this family will be torn apart because of this."

Jiang Jilian's heart suddenly tightened. His daughter was a kind and sensitive child, and this incident undoubtedly dealt her a heavy blow.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then slowly said: "Li Li, your mother is a strong woman. She will not fall down because of this. Also, you have to believe that your father will handle everything."

Jiang Lili looked up at Jiang Jilian, with a pleading light in her eyes: "Father, can you really handle it? I don't want to see anyone get hurt."

Jiang Jilian nodded and said firmly: "Don't worry, Li Li, father promises you that I will restore peace in the mansion."

Jiang Jilian was silent for a moment. He had never thought that his daughter would have such mature ideas. He walked quietly to the window and looked into the distance with deep eyes.

"Li Li, do you know? There are two voices arguing in my heart. On the one hand, I really don't have much feelings for Ye Wanxue, she is just a pawn in my hands. On the other hand, I feel that she has been treated unfairly." Jiang Jilian's voice was low, revealing his inner struggle.
