Lu Yundi hugged her daughter gently, her eyes full of heartache: "Li Li, you are my pride. No matter what you become, you are my most beloved daughter. If the prince really likes you, he won't care about the scar on your face."

Xiang Zhu also whispered to comfort her: "Miss, don't worry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a sensible man, he will not change his feelings for you because of a small flaw."

Jiang Lili raised her head, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes: "Really? Will the prince really accept me like this?"

Lu Yundi nodded gently: "Of course."

Jiang Lili took a deep breath. If her face could not be restored, she should not be the only one to bear the pain. When Jiang Jilian came back, Jiang Lili had stopped crying, but her eyes were red and swollen.

Jiang Jilian's footsteps sounded outside the door, and he walked in with a notification. Seeing his daughter's red and swollen eyes, his heart tightened instantly. He walked to Jiang Lili, gently stroked her hair, and said in a gentle and guilty voice: "Lili, what happened to make you so sad?"

Jiang Lili looked up at him, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes. She clenched her fists tightly, and her voice trembled a little: "Father, you are back. I...I want to ask you, is there really no problem with the medicine you are responsible for getting?"

Jiang Jilian was slightly stunned, and then a serious look appeared on his face. He sat down next to his daughter and said firmly, "Li Li, I am indeed responsible for getting the medicine, but I have never known about the ointment. If there are any problems, I will definitely give you an explanation."

Lu Yundi also looked at Jiang Jilian, with a trace of inquiry in his eyes: "Jilian, are you really unaware of the problem with this ointment?"

Jiang Jilian nodded, his eyes firm: "I really didn't know. But I will definitely find out the truth about this matter and seek justice for Li Li."

Jiang Lili looked at her father, a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes, but it was soon replaced by pain. She gently stroked the scar on her face and said in a low voice: "Dad, this scar has not healed, and I am really in pain. I am afraid, I am afraid that it will affect my future."

Jiang Jilian felt a pain in his heart. He held his daughter's hand tightly and said firmly, "Li Li, no matter what your face looks like, you are our most precious daughter. We will face this difficulty together and will not let you be alone."

Xiang Zhu said softly beside him: "Miss, your father will definitely help you solve this problem. You have to trust him."

Jiang Lili nodded slightly, with a glimmer of trust in her eyes, but her heart was still full of doubts and uneasiness.

After Jiang Jilian confirmed that his daughter was calm, he stood up and prepared to leave the room. Lu Yundi knew where he was going, so she sighed softly and winked at Xiang Zhu, asking her to follow Jiang Jilian.

Xiang Zhu nodded slightly, and after Jiang Jilian walked out of the room, she followed him out quietly.

Madam hopes that she can explain things to Jiang Jilian.

Xiang Zhu walked out of the room and saw Jiang Jilian walking quickly towards the study. She quickened her pace and followed him. Outside the study, Xiang Zhu saw Jiang Jilian push the door open and quickly close it after entering.

Xiang Zhu knocked on the door gently, and Jiang Jilian's voice came from inside: "Come in."

Xiang Zhu pushed the door open and saw Jiang Jilian sitting at the desk with a gloomy face, and Jiang Ren was kneeling beside him.

"Xiang Zhu, you're here." Jiang Jilian looked up at her, then lowered his head to look at the prescription on the table.

"My lord, I think Jiang Ren should have explained everything to you in detail. Madam only just found out the details, but she didn't say it explicitly because she was afraid that the young lady would be too excited. Madam is comforting the young lady now." Xiang Zhu said in a firm tone.

"Jiang Ren, Xiang Zhu, come with me to Li Li's room tonight to apologize." Jiang Ji Lian said with a gloomy face.

The maid Luluo led Madam Zhao and others into Lu Yundi's room.

Nanny Zhao was holding a brocade box in her hand, and two housekeepers followed behind her.

"Madam, Madam Zhao is here." Luoluo reminded softly.

Lu Yundi turned around and saw the brocade box in Madam Zhao's hand. She smiled slightly, stood up, walked to Madam Zhao, and said with a smile: "Madam Zhao, thank you for your hard work. I didn't expect my parents to send the dowry so soon."

Madam Zhao quickly handed the brocade box to Lu Yundi and said respectfully, "Madam, these are gifts from your parents. We hope you can get through this difficult time. The old lady specifically asked that these money be clean and without any flaws."

Lu Yundi took the brocade box and gently opened it. Inside was a thick stack of banknotes and several glittering gold rings. She nodded slightly, put the items in her arms, and then turned to Luluo and Aunt Zhao and said, "You guys go down first. I want to be alone for a while."

Madam Zhao and Luluo looked at each other, nodded slightly, and left the room. Only Lu Yundi was left in the room. She sat quietly at the table, stroking the gold ring with her fingers, and a feeling surged in her heart.

"Madam, are you okay?" Luoluo asked softly outside the door.

Lu Yundi smiled slightly and replied, "I'm fine, Luluo, thank you."

Luoluo smiled lightly and said nothing more. The lady must be filled with gratitude and helplessness at this moment.

Inside the room, Lu Yundi's eyes gradually became firm.

Although this money can solve the problem temporarily, it is not a long-term solution. She must discuss with Jiang Jilian to find a fundamental solution to the crisis.

As night fell, the lights in Zhenxing Marquis's mansion were bright. Lu Yundi sat at the table, waiting for Jiang Jilian's arrival. When she saw Jiang Jilian's tired figure appear at the door, she hurriedly stood up to greet him.

"Ji Lian, you're back." Lu Yundi said softly.

Jiang Jilian nodded slightly, looking at the brocade box in Lu Yundi's hand, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes: "What is this?"

Lu Yundi handed the brocade box to Jiang Jilian and briefly introduced the dowry sent by her parents. Jiang Jilian opened the brocade box, looked at the banknotes and rings inside, and was silent for a moment.

"Madam, although this money is good, it is not a long-term solution. We must find out the root of the problem and solve this crisis fundamentally. Besides, how can we, the dignified Zhenxing Marquis Mansion, accept such a great favor from your mother's family?" Jiang Jilian said seriously.

"It's okay, Yundi, you can deal with your dowry yourself." Jiang Jilian said while gritting his teeth.

Lu Yundi was reluctant to take back such a generous dowry, but he still had to pretend to be magnanimous.

When Lu Yundi heard this, a hint of gratitude flashed in her eyes, but her expression quickly returned to calm.

Jiang Jilian made this decision out of self-respect and for the honor of the Marquis's Mansion. She said softly: "Jilian, I understand your concerns. But this money means a lot to me. It is not just a dowry, but also a token of my family's love."

Jiang Jilian looked at Lu Yundi and his heart was moved.

He was silent for a moment and sighed deeply.
