"Jiang Jilian, your wife is right. Some of the things in my Gao family cannot be touched." Mrs. Gao's voice rang out, and Jiang Jilian felt a little dizzy.

Jiang Jilian frowned, and he felt a wave of fatigue rising from the bottom of his heart. Facing Mrs. Gao's questioning, he felt both guilty and helpless.

"Madam Gao, I understand your concerns." Jiang Jilian replied in a deep voice, trying his best to remain calm. "I will start investigating immediately and find out the truth no matter what. If anyone in the mansion dares to do it privately, I will not let him off easily."

Madam Gao looked at Jiang Jilian with sharp eyes: "Master Jiang, I remember what you said. I hope you are not perfunctory to me."

Jiang Jilian said sternly, "Madam Gao, if I was just trying to please you, why would I be so busy in the mansion? These are all my true words."

"Ji Lian, you've been working too hard these days." Lu Yundi said softly, with worry in his eyes. "You're busy with official duties, and these things have happened in the mansion. You should also take care of your health."

Jiang Jilian smiled slightly and looked at his wife, with a hint of gratitude in his smile: "I know, Madam, you always care about me so much."

At this moment, a trace of pity flashed in Mrs. Gao's eyes, but she couldn't help but ask: "Ji Lian, can you really find out the truth about this matter? The reputation of my Gao family cannot be lost."

Jiang Jilian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Madam Gao, I will do my best, not only for the reputation of the Gao family, but also for the peace of the entire Zhenxing Marquis Mansion. I will investigate every corner of the mansion and will not let any details be missed."

At this moment, Jiang Jilian suddenly felt dizzy and his vision became blurred. He tried to stand firm, but he was unable to do so. His body swayed and he lost consciousness.

“Ji Lian!” Lu Yundi screamed and hurriedly supported her husband, tears welling up in her eyes, “Hurry up, someone, the Marquis has fainted!”

Mrs. Gao was also panicked and didn't want to continue asking about the matter, fearing that her words were too radical. She felt both worried and guilty.

Jiang Jilian was placed in the bedroom, and Feng's doctor was urgently summoned. Lu Yundi sat by the bed, gently stroking her husband's forehead, feeling uneasy.

"Madam, the Marquis's condition is not serious. He just fainted due to overwork and emotional excitement." Doctor Feng comforted her after a careful examination.

Lu Yundi breathed a sigh of relief, but her worries were not completely eliminated. She turned to Madam Gao and said, "Madam Gao, look, Ji Lian..."

A trace of complex emotions flashed in Mrs. Gao's eyes, and she sighed softly: "Ji Lian is a good child, I understand his difficulties. However, this matter involves too much, I have to be careful."

Lu Yundi nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "Madam Gao, why don't you let me help Ji Lian investigate this matter? Maybe I can share some of his pressure."

Mrs. Gao glanced at Lu Yundi, with a hint of admiration in her eyes. Lu Yundi was smart and kind-hearted. She nodded slightly: "Okay, since you are willing, then I will trouble you."

..........

Jiang Jilian woke up slowly and met Lu Yundi's concerned eyes.

"Husband, you finally woke up. You scared me to death. You know, you were unconscious all night."

Jiang Jilian nodded slightly, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes. He held Lu Yundi's hand tightly and responded gently: "Madam, I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm fine. I just fainted due to overwork. I feel much better now."

Lu Yundi gently patted Jiang Jilian's back, her eyes full of worry and concern: "Husband, you can't work so hard anymore. I can help you with the affairs of the mansion, but you also have to take care of yourself."

Jiang Jilian nodded, his expression gradually becoming serious: "Madam, I have something to ask you. What do you think about the theft of the dowry from the storehouse in the mansion?"

Lu Yundi's hand paused slightly, and the worry in her eyes became even more intense. She sighed softly and said slowly: "This matter is indeed incredible. I have also heard about it. The warehouse in the mansion is heavily guarded and difficult for ordinary people to approach. This matter must not be something that ordinary people can do."

Jiang Jilian stared at Lu Yundi closely, trying to find the answer from her eyes: "I heard from the servants that this matter seems to be related to Ye Wanxue, what do you think?"

Lu Yundi frowned slightly, a trace of doubt flashed across her face: "Husband, although Ye Wanxue has some misunderstandings with us, she is not the kind of person who would do such a thing. It would be too hasty to put the blame on her."

Jiang Jilian nodded slightly, seeming to be satisfied with Lu Yundi's answer: "Madam, you are absolutely right. The reason I asked you is because this matter involves serious matters, and I have to treat it with caution. What do the other ladies in the mansion think about this?"

Lu Yundi pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Most of them are taking a wait-and-see attitude. After all, Ye Wanxue's status in the mansion is not low, and they are reluctant to express their opinions easily. But privately, some people also think that this matter is related to Ye Wanxue."

Jiang Jilian nodded slightly, with a hint of contemplation in his eyes: "Madam, how do you think we should deal with this matter?"

Lu Yundi gently held Jiang Jilian's hand, her eyes firm: "Husband, I think we should first investigate the truth and not easily convict. If it really has nothing to do with Ye Wanxue, we can't let her take the blame. If it is true, it will not be too late to convict her later."

Jiang Jilian's eyes flashed with admiration, and he gently patted Lu Yundi's hand: "Madam, your words reassure me. I will immediately investigate this matter and make sure to get to the bottom of it."

The two were silent for a moment, and Jiang Jilian asked again: "Madam, who do you think was responsible for this?"

Lu Yundi shook his head slightly, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes: "I don't know about this. The hearts of people in the mansion are complicated. Maybe someone is jealous of Ye Wanxue's status, or maybe someone wants to use this matter to sow discord between us."

A cold light flashed in Jiang Jilian's eyes: "If anyone dares to do this, I will make him pay the price."

Jiang Jilian gently patted Lu Yundi's hand, trying to ease the atmosphere: "Madam, you don't have to worry too much. I will take care of this matter. You just need to take care of yourself and the children."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, her eyes full of gratitude and love: "My husband, I know you will handle everything. But, I am really worried about you. You have been exhausted by the affairs in the mansion, and now something like this has happened."

Jiang Jilian gently held Lu Yundi's hand, his eyes full of tenderness: "Madam, with you by my side, I have infinite strength. I will definitely find out the truth and clear Ye Wanxue's name."

Lu Yundi helped Jiang Jilian take his medicine and took care of him personally, so that Jiang Jilian could not express any dissatisfaction.

After that, Lu Yundi took even more meticulous care of Jiang Jilian, visiting him every morning and evening.

Whenever night fell, she would personally prepare medicine for Jiang Jilian, then sit quietly beside the bed, watching him drink the medicine mouthful by mouthful.
