All the people in the Hou Mansion are evil, and they will be repaid tenfold after rebirth
Chapter 95 Taking Over Finances
"Husband, the medicine is ready, drink it while it's hot." Lu Yundi said softly, the medicine bowl in her hand emitting a faint fragrance.
Jiang Jilian nodded slightly, took the medicine bowl, and a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes: "Madam, you have worked hard these days. Your care makes me feel very warm."
Lu Yundi smiled slightly and gently rubbed Jiang Jilian's shoulders, trying to relieve his fatigue: "Husband, this is what I should do. As long as you get better, I will be satisfied."
After Jiang Jilian finished drinking the medicine, Lu Yundi handed him a clean handkerchief for him to wipe the corners of his mouth.
"Husband, how have you rested recently?" Lu Yundi asked with concern.
Jiang Jilian nodded gently: "Madam, your concern made me sleep well. It's just that the things in my heart are always hard to let go."
Lu Yundi sighed softly, with a trace of worry in her eyes: "My husband, I know you are worried about the theft in the warehouse. But this matter is very serious, we must not rush it."
Jiang Jilian nodded slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Madam, I have arranged for my servants to conduct a secret investigation, and I believe we will find something soon."
Lu Yundi gently patted Jiang Jilian's hand, her eyes full of encouragement: "My husband, I believe you can find out the truth and clear Ye Wanxue's name. However, I am worried that the rumors in the mansion will affect Ye Wanxue's reputation."
Jiang Jilian's eyes flashed with a cold light: "Madam, I will have someone investigate this matter strictly and will never let anyone point fingers at Ye Wanxue."
It was late at night, and Lu Yundi tucked in the quilt for Jiang Jilian and prepared to leave. But Jiang Jilian called her softly: "Madam, please stay here tonight. I want to hear your voice."
Lu Yundi smiled slightly, her eyes full of tenderness: "Husband, since you miss me so much, I will stay with you."
That night, the two of them talked a lot on the bed. Jiang Jilian talked about his hardships outside, and Lu Yundi talked about trivial matters in the mansion.
Afterwards, Jiang Jilian became much more energetic. Lu Yundi saw it and was very happy.
Jiang Jilian has gradually regained his former charm.
............
The next day, in the morning.
Lu Yundi did not meet Jiang Jilian, but learned from his follower Jiang Ren that Jiang Jilian rested in his room last night and went directly to the Dali Temple to be on duty in the morning.
Haha, what a joke!
When Lu Yundi heard Jiang Ren say this, a barely perceptible coldness flashed across his eyes.
"Jiang Ren, please step down." Her voice was surprisingly calm, yet it revealed an unquestionable majesty.
Jiang Ren hesitated for a moment, then stepped back, but couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the lady was indeed not an ordinary woman.
Only Lu Yundi and her maid Xiang Zhu were left in the room. They sat in silence, and the atmosphere seemed a little heavy.
"Madam, don't worry. The Marquis...maybe he's just in a spur of the moment kind of mood." Xiang Zhu comforted her carefully, her eyes filled with worry.
Lu Yundi shook his head gently, with a hint of bitterness in his eyes: "Xiang Zhu, don't you understand? Jiang Jilian...he went to find Ye Wanxue again."
"Madam, wasn't the Marquis feeling better last night? Why is he so..."
Lu Yundi smiled bitterly, with a trace of determination in his eyes: "Xiang Zhu, do you know? The reason why he stayed with me last night was because he was seriously ill and needed my care. But this morning, he couldn't wait to see Ye Wanxue. I am not in his heart at all."
Xiang Zhu's heart tightened when she heard this. Madam had long held a prejudice against Ye Wanxue, and now she hated her even more. She took a deep breath and tried to ease the atmosphere.
"Madam, the Marquis may just be bewitched by Ye Wanxue for a moment, and he still cares about you in his heart." Xiang Zhu said cautiously, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Lu Yundi was silent for a moment, and the determination in his eyes became more firm: "Xiang Zhu, you don't understand. Ever since Ye Wanxue entered the Marquis' Mansion, I have felt threatened. She is gentle, virtuous, and smart. I admit that she is indeed attractive.
Lu Yundi's tone revealed a hint of helplessness. She sighed softly, and her eyes became deep: "But her gentleness and virtue are just a mask she uses to cover up her ambition. I can see that she is ambitious and wants to replace my position in the Marquis' Mansion."
Xiang Zhu's expression became increasingly heavy. What his madam said was true. Ye Wanxue's arrival had indeed made the atmosphere in the Marquis' Mansion tense.
"Madam, what should we do then?" Xiang Zhu asked anxiously, her eyes revealing her concern for Madam.
Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a bit of sadness in her smile: "Xiang Zhu, I know you are loyal to me, but you can't help me with this matter. I have to rely on myself to protect my position and my children."
Xiang Zhu bit her lower lip tightly and swore to herself in her heart that no matter what, she would stand on the side of the lady.
Lu Yundi began to closely observe Ye Wanxue's every move. She found that Ye Wanxue was indeed as she thought, gentle and virtuous on the surface, but actually thoughtful and skillful.
Lu Yundi looked obviously unhappy, but still patiently said to Yu: "Mother, although I haven't taken over the household affairs, my food, clothing and other expenses have always been paid for by my private account, right?"
As soon as Lu Yundi finished speaking, Yu's face immediately turned ugly. She originally thought that Lu Yundi would give in in this dispute, but she didn't expect that she would dare to refute like this. Yu snorted coldly, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes, and she slowly said:
"Yun Di, who do you think you are? You are just a follower of my son, and you dare to act so arrogantly in front of me! Don't you have any responsibility for the financial losses of the mansion?"
When Lu Yundi heard this, the displeasure on her face became more obvious, but she still suppressed the anger in her heart and responded calmly:
"Mother, I know you are very concerned about the finances of the mansion, but the losses are not something I can control. Besides, I have always followed your arrangements and have never done anything beyond the rules. If you really want to hold someone responsible, you should start with the person in charge."
Yu's face became more and more ugly, and she widened her eyes, as if she wanted to overwhelm Lu Yundi with her eyes. However, Lu Yundi was not afraid at all, but instead strengthened her position.
"Yun Di, do you think that you can settle all this by offering to take over the finances? Don't forget, this is my Zhenxing Marquis Mansion, not your Lu family's territory!"
Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Mother, I know this is my Zhenxing Marquis Mansion, and I also know my current identity. But I proposed to take over the finances not to settle all this, but to better manage the expenses of the mansion to avoid similar losses. I believe that as long as I take over, I will be able to get the finances of the mansion back on track."
Yu didn't expect Lu Yundi to dare to contradict her like this. She slammed the table angrily and said angrily: "Okay, since you are so confident, then I will let you take over the finances and see if you can turn the loss situation around! But you have to remember, if you can't manage it well, don't blame me for being rude!"
Lu Yundi smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Don't worry, mother. I will do my best to get the finances of the mansion back on track. If anything goes wrong, I am willing to take full responsibility."
