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

Yu sighed softly, and looking at her daughter's naughty appearance, she couldn't help but smile: "You girl, you are always so naughty. However, this money was obtained illegally, so we can't use it."

Jiang Yuqi's eyes widened, somewhat dissatisfied: "Mom, how is this improper? The things in Lu Yundi's warehouse are all things she doesn't want. It would be a waste to sell them to others. Why don't we use them?"

Yu frowned and said seriously, "Yuqi, do you know what the rules are? We can't just take other people's things. Besides, your brother's birthday banquet will be prepared by the mansion, so you don't have to worry about it."

Jiang Yuqi pouted, a little disappointed, but still unwilling to give up: "Mom, what should I do with the five thousand taels of silver? I can't just leave it there."

Yu thought for a moment, then slowly said: "How about this, you donate this money to the temple outside the city as a blessing for your brother. As for your brother's birthday banquet, I will make other arrangements."

Jiang Yuqi's expression improved slightly after hearing this, but she was still a little unwilling: "Okay, then let's do as mother says. But, mother, you have to host my brother's birthday party in a grand manner to make him happy."

Yu nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, I will definitely organize your brother's birthday party very well."

At this point, Yu suddenly stood up, walked to the window, looked at the sky in the distance, and said thoughtfully: "Yuqi, do you know? This Zhenxing Marquisate seems to be prosperous, but in fact it is full of dangers. Your brother Ji Lian is the heir to the Marquisate, and he has a heavy burden on his shoulders."

Jiang Yuqi listened quietly, with a surge of respect in her heart. She walked to her mother, gently held her hand, and said, "Mom, I know that my brother will do well."

Mrs. Yu smiled and patted her daughter's hand, with a hint of pride in her eyes: "I believe in him, just like I believe in you. However, Yuqi, you also have to learn to be more stable and not always be so rash."

Jiang Yuqi stuck out her tongue and said coquettishly, "Mom, I know, I will correct it."

Seeing her daughter so playful, Yu couldn't help but feel a little warm in her heart. She gently stroked Jiang Yuqi's hair, her eyes full of deep love.

"Yuqi, do you know? Your brother's birthday party is not just his birthday, but also a major event in our Zhenxing Marquis Mansion. As the heir to the Marquis Mansion, your brother's birthday party must be grand enough to show the majesty of our Marquis Mansion." Yu said earnestly.

Jiang Yuqi nodded. She understood what her mother meant. She looked at her mother's serious expression and couldn't help feeling a little nervous. She knew that her mother had high expectations for her brother, and her brother had been working hard to meet her mother's expectations.

"Mom, I understand. I will tell my brother and ask him to be prepared." Jiang Yuqi said seriously.

Yu smiled slightly, looked at her daughter's serious expression, and nodded with satisfaction.

Although this daughter is naughty, she is very sensible in her heart.

......

Birthday party? " Jiang Jilian was a little surprised when his mother Yu called him over and told him.

"Yes, Ji Lian, you are independent at the age of thirty. Now you have a wife, concubine and children. You can be considered to have established a family and a career. You must hold a grand birthday party." Yu said with a smile.

Jiang Jilian was slightly stunned. He had never thought that his birthday party was so important to his mother. Looking at Yu's face full of expectation, a warm feeling surged in his heart.

"Mother, when do you think it is appropriate to hold the birthday party?" Jiang Jilian asked tentatively.

A gleam of light flashed in Yu's eyes. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I think we should hold it on the fifteenth of next month. That day is an auspicious day, suitable for holding a celebration. As for the scale, the bigger the better. After all, this is your first birthday party after you get married and start a family. It must be magnificent."

Jiang Jilian nodded slightly to show his agreement: "Then how should we invite the guests?"

A hint of pride flashed in Yu's eyes. She gently patted Jiang Jilian's hand and said, "Don't worry about this. I have already asked the servants to prepare the invitations. We have quite a few people to invite for this birthday party."

She picked up a piece of paper with names densely written on it. "First, the ministers in the court, such as the Grand Tutor, the Grand Preceptor, and the Prime Minister, they are of noble status, so of course we have to invite them. And also those officials who have good relations with our mansion, no one can be left out."

Jiang Jilian was a little surprised when he heard his mother's arrangement. He knew his mother had a wide range of contacts, but he didn't expect that she could even invite ministers from the court.

Yu looked at Jiang Jilian's surprised expression and smiled, "Jilian, you are the heir of my Zhenxing Marquisate. These people are naturally your friends. It will be of great benefit to your future development to interact with them."

Jiang Jilian pondered for a moment and nodded.

"Mother, besides the ministers in the court, who else needs to be invited?" Jiang Jilian asked again.

Yu sighed softly, with a hint of melancholy in her eyes: "And your relatives and friends, although they are not of high status, they are also your close relatives and friends. Naturally, they cannot be missing from the birthday banquet."

"Also, your father's friends during his lifetime, although they are no longer powerful now, their friendship cannot be forgotten. This is why I specifically asked the servants to prepare the invitations."

Jiang Jilian's eyes flashed with emotion. His mother was a person who valued friendship and loyalty. Over the years, she had been maintaining the friendship of his father.

"Mother, you are so thoughtful. Do I also need to prepare anything?" Jiang Jilian asked.

Yu smiled and said, "You just need to get ready to welcome the guests. As for the rest, I will instruct the servants to arrange everything in order."

On the other side, Lu Yundi narrowed his eyes and said, "Yuqi, the person you want to invite most to your eldest brother's birthday party is probably Young Marquis Chu from the Chongren Marquis's Mansion!"

"My sister-in-law guessed it right." Jiang Yuqi looked shy, but finally admitted it openly.

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, a hint of teasing flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "In that case, sister-in-law, I will help you arrange this birthday banquet well, and make sure it will impress young Marquis Chu."

Jiang Yuqi's face flushed when she heard this, but she had a shy smile on her lips, and said, "Sister-in-law, you are not making fun of me, are you?"

Lu Yundi shook his head and said seriously, "When have I ever made fun of you? Your eldest brother's birthday party must naturally invite the person you have in mind. However, you must be prepared. Young Marquis Chu is a very elegant man. I don't know how many women are attracted to him."

Jiang Yuqi lowered her head shyly and said softly, "Sister-in-law, I know. But, who can tell clearly about things like feelings?"

As the two were talking, the maid hurried in and reported, "Madam, the Marquis is back."
