Jiang Jilian smiled calmly: "This is what I should do, you don't have to take it to heart."

During the banquet, Lu Yundi smiled gently, picked up food for Jiang Jixin from time to time, and her eyes were full of care.

"Jixin, you must have suffered a lot at the border over the years. Now that you are back, you should eat more good food to replenish your body." Lu Yundi said softly.

Jiang Jixin's face flushed slightly. He looked down at the dishes on the table, and a warm feeling surged in his heart: "Thank you, sister-in-law. I will."

Looking at the changes in his brother, Jiang Jilian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The banquet was over. Jiang Jixin returned to his room, lay on the bed, looked at the ceiling, and had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

"It's good to be back." He murmured softly, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

............

Jiang Lili looked at Jiang Yinli proudly, and then pestered Jiang Jilian to ask about the ointment.

Jiang Jilian frowned, a barely perceptible anxiety flashed in his eyes. He sighed softly, looked at his daughter's expectant eyes, and slowly said, "Li Li, Feng's doctor has tried his best. He said the medicine is not effective enough, but he can't find out the specific reason."

Jiang Lili heard this, and the smug look on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of disappointment. She bit her lips tightly, and a hint of stubbornness flashed in her eyes: "Father, is the scar on my face really incurable?"

Jiang Jilian gently patted Jiang Lili's hand and said softly, "Lili, father will do his best to find a cure for you. But it will take time."

Jiang Lili felt comforted when she heard her father's promise, but she still asked unwillingly, "Then, is there really no way to improve the formula of the ointment?"

Jiang Jilian sighed, his eyes revealing deep helplessness: "The formula of the ointment is the essence of Feng Fuyi's years of research. Feng Fuyi also said that if it weren't for the lack of efficacy, this ointment should have been able to gradually fade the scars on your face. As for the reason for the lack of efficacy, it is really puzzling."

After hearing this, Jiang Lili's eyes dimmed a little, but she was still unwilling to give up. She said with a hint of determination: "Father, I heard that the lack of efficacy may be due to the quality of the medicinal materials, or the details of the production process. Maybe we can start from these aspects and try again."

Jiang Jilian looked at his daughter's determined eyes, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "Li Li is right. The lack of efficacy may indeed be related to the quality of the medicinal materials and the production process. I will personally inquire about this matter and re-check the source of the medicinal materials and the production process."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Jiang Lili's eyes. She held Jiang Jilian's hand tightly and said, "Father, I will accompany you to find the reason. Maybe I can help."

Jiang Jilian smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go together. But you have to remember that even if you still can't be cured in the end, you are still the most perfect Li Li in your father's heart."

Hearing this, Jiang Lili's eyes became moist. She nodded vigorously, then turned around and asked the servants to fetch some medicinal herbs and tools for making ointment.

.........

"Madam, everything has been arranged. Everything is under our control." Xiang Zhu whispered in Lu Yundi's ear.

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, a hint of pride flashed in her eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Ye Wanxue, you can't escape this time." She patted Xiang Zhu's hand gently, indicating that she could leave.

At this time, in the main hall, Aunt Zhao and others were sitting on a low couch, chatting about trivial matters in the mansion. When Lu Yundi walked in, everyone immediately stood up and saluted: "Madam, how are you?"

Lu Yundi smiled slightly and poured tea for everyone himself: "Everyone, don't be so polite. Let's have a good chat today."

After everyone was seated, Xiang Zhu quietly entered and sat next to Lu Yundi, sighing deliberately: "Alas, the warehouse has been a little restless recently, and the Madam is looking worried."

Aunt Zhao asked in surprise, "What happened? What happened in the warehouse?"

Xiang Zhu pretended to be worried: "Last time in the storehouse, Miss Ye Wanxue's dowry disappeared. Madam searched for a long time, but still couldn't find any clues."

Aunt Zhao's eyes widened, and she asked in surprise, "How is this possible? The storehouse is an important place, how can it be easily stolen?"

Lu Yundi smiled slightly and took over the conversation: "Yes, I also find it strange. However, I heard something recently, and I don't know whether I should talk about it or not."

Everyone looked at her curiously: "Madam, please speak."

Lu Yundi coughed lightly and said, "It is said that Miss Ye Wanxue spent two thousand taels to buy a residence before Ji Lian took a concubine. I was wondering, where did Ji Lian get so much money at that time? Did he owe foreign debts?"

Aunt Zhao and the others looked at each other with different expressions. Xiang Zhu interrupted at the right time: "Yes, now Miss Ye Wanxue's dowry was stolen, perhaps to make up for the debt owed."

Aunt Li asked doubtfully, "But the Marquis loves Miss Ye Wanxue the most. How could she do such a thing?"

Lu Yundi sneered: "That's what I want to say. Miss Ye Wanxue is very clever. She can not only please Master Ji Lian, but also make money privately. Maybe all the extra money went into her pocket."

Aunt Zhao couldn't help but frowned when she heard this. She was a little shaken, but still hesitated and said, "Madam, this is a family affair after all. We should be more cautious."

Lu Yundi smiled lightly, with a sharp gleam in his eyes: "Of course, we must be cautious. But I know my limits in this matter."

Xiang Zhu was standing aside, secretly delighted.

As he was talking, a servant came running over with a letter in his hand and handed it to Lu Yundi: "Madam, I found this near the warehouse. It seems to have Miss Ye's mark on it."

Lu Yundi took the letter and deliberately unfolded it in front of everyone: "Everyone, look, what is this?"

Everyone gathered around and saw that there was indeed Ye Wanxue's handwriting on the letter, and the content was roughly inquiring about the situation in the warehouse.

Aunt Zhao's face changed, and she couldn't help but believe it a little: "This... is this really Miss Ye's handwriting?"

Lu Yundi smiled lightly: "How can this be false?"

Aunt Li couldn't help but interrupt: "Perhaps Miss Ye just lost this letter accidentally, and it doesn't mean anything."

Xiang Zhu immediately interrupted: "Aunt Li, are you defending Miss Ye?"

Aunt Li blushed and explained hastily, "I didn't, I just thought we should find out the truth."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly: "What Aunt Li said makes sense. However, the appearance of this letter at least gives us a clue."

She turned to Xiang Zhu and said, "Zhu'er, go call Ye Wanxue over. I want to ask her in person."

At this time, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard.

"You're talking nonsense!" Ye Wanxue, accompanied by Jiang Yinyi, walked out from behind the crowd. Lu Yundi was startled and quickly exchanged glances with Xiang Zhu.

Ye Wanxue's face was pale, but her eyes were firm. She held Jiang Yinyi's hand tightly and walked to Lu Yundi step by step. Her voice was firm and powerful: "Madam, you are slandering me. The relationship between me and the Marquis is sincere and we have never taken these material things seriously."
