"Madam, are you okay?" A gentle voice broke the silence in the room. It was her personal maid Xiaohuan, who walked into the room lightly and asked cautiously.
Lu Yundi turned around and smiled at Xiaohuan, "I'm fine, just a little tired." Her smile was pale and weak, like a flower that was about to wither.
Xiaohuan walked silently to her side and gently massaged her shoulders. She knew that the pain in her heart was much deeper than the fatigue on the surface.
"Xiaohuan, tell me, what have I done all these years?" Lu Yundi suddenly asked, her voice low and hoarse.
Xiao Huan was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer. She knew how much Madam had contributed to the Marquis's Mansion over the years, but she also knew that these contributions had not been rewarded as they should be.
"Madam, you are doing this for the Marquis' Mansion, for the children, and for this family." Xiaohuan said cautiously.
Lu Yundi smiled gently, "Yes, I did it for this family. But Jiang Jilian thinks I'm a burden, a burden that can be discarded at any time." A trace of pain flashed across her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.
Xiaohuan silently held the lady's hand. She knew that at this time, she could only stay by the lady's side and provide her with some warmth.
At this moment, a servant rushed in, "Madam, the Marquis is here, and he wants to see you." Yundi's eyes turned cold, she knew that Jiang Jilian came to see her at this time, it must be about the divorce letter. She took a deep breath, sorted out her emotions, and then said to the servant: "Please let him in." Jiang Jilian walked into the room, his face without a trace of guilt, but with a hint of coldness. He looked at Lu Yundi and said coldly: "Madam, please sign it."
Lu Yundi looked at him, feeling sad. She knew that this man had completely changed. He was no longer the man she once loved, but had become a cold and ruthless person.
"Jiang Jilian, do you think you can get rid of me with a letter of divorce? Do you think you can preserve your status and interests by doing this?" Lu Yundi asked coldly.
Jiang Jilian frowned and said impatiently, "Lu Yundi, don't think that you can stop me just because you are the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion. I tell you, the situation is different now. You must sign, otherwise no one in your Lu family will survive."
Yundi felt a sharp pain in her heart. She didn't expect Jiang Jilian to be so heartless. She took a deep breath and slowly stood up. "Jiang Jilian, do you think I'm afraid? Do you think I will give in for the Lu family? I tell you, I, Lu Yundi, would rather die than give in to you."
Ji Lian looked at her angrily. He didn't expect Lu Yundi to be so determined. He said coldly, "Lu Yundi, are you forcing me to do it?" Lu Yundi smiled slightly, "Jiang Ji Lian, do you think you have the right to threaten me? You are just a man who betrayed his wife. What qualifications do you have to accuse me?"
Ji Lian's face turned livid, and he raised his hand angrily, but in the end he didn't hit him. He took a deep breath, then turned and left, leaving behind an indifferent back.
Lu Yundi looked at Jiang Jilian's departing back, and felt sad. She knew that from now on, she would face everything alone. But she also knew that she couldn't give up, and she had to be strong for the children, for the Lu family, and for her own dignity.
Xiao Huan walked up to her and gently held her hand, "Ma'am, don't be afraid, I will always be by your side."
Lu Yundi smiled and looked at Xiaohuan, "Thank you, Xiaohuan. I know that from now on, I will no longer be alone."
There was a determination gleaming in her eyes, as if telling everyone that she, Lu Yundi, would not be easily defeated.
The night slowly fell like a deep and boundless curtain, and the lights in the mansion were turned on. The bright lights reflected the carved beams and painted buildings, but they could not hide the shadow hidden behind the splendor. In this interweaving of light and shadow, Lu Yundi sat quietly in the room, holding the cold divorce letter in her hand, her heart full of helplessness and deep resentment. She understood that this was not just a piece of paper, but also a cruel testimony of Jiang Jilian's ruthless betrayal of her.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Lu Yundi frowned slightly. She didn't want to see anyone at this moment, especially that unfaithful person. However, when she looked up, she found that it was Ye Wanxue who entered the room.
Ye Wanxue was wearing gorgeous clothes, smiling broadly, and her eyes seemed to gleam with the calmness and confidence of a winner. She walked up to Lu Yundi and said in a gentle but provocative tone: "Sister, I heard that you were abandoned by the Marquis. This is really unexpected."
Lu Yundi's eyes were as cold as ice, and the anger in her heart was quietly rising. She knew very well that Ye Wanxue's collusion with Jiang Jilian was the culprit that put her in this situation. She took a deep breath and responded calmly and firmly: "Ye Wanxue, who are you performing for? Do you think you can easily replace me and become the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion?"
Ye Wanxue chuckled, with a hint of pride in her eyes: "Sister, don't you understand? The current Marquis' Mansion is no longer your world. Jiang Jilian's heart is no longer with you. He loves me."
Lu Yundi felt a sharp pain in her heart, but she held back her tears and said firmly: "Even so, I will not bow to you. People of the Lu family are not so easy to be defeated."
Ye Wanxue's eyes flashed with anger. She didn't expect Lu Yundi to be so strong. Her tone turned cold: "Sister, how long do you think you can hold on? Jiang Jilian has made up his mind to get rid of you. If you don't know the current situation, you will only destroy yourself."
Lu Yundi clenched her fists. She knew that what Ye Wanxue said was true, but she was unwilling to give in. She slowly stood up and looked at Ye Wanxue firmly: "Ye Wanxue, do you think you have won? Let me tell you, even if I lose the favor of the Marquis, I am still a member of the Lu family. I still have my dignity and pride."
Ye Wanxue's face turned pale, she glared at Lu Yundi angrily, then turned and left. She knew that Lu Yundi's tenacity would be her biggest obstacle.
As the night deepened, Lu Yundi sat alone in her room, feeling worried. She knew that she had to protect herself and her children and not let Jiang Jilian and Ye Wanxue succeed in their plot. She picked up a pen and began to write a letter to her brother Lu Yunfan, hoping that he could lend a hand and help her through the difficult times.
The next day, Lu Yunfan led a team to the Marquis's Mansion. He looked at his sister's haggard face and was filled with anger. He was determined to help his sister get justice no matter what.
