Chapter 191 Eunuch Li
At this time, the maid brought tea. Lu Yundi picked up the teacup and said softly, "Sister Yuqi, what are your plans for coming back this time?"
Jiang Yuqi smiled slightly, with a firm look in her eyes: "Sister-in-law, I want to stay in the mansion for a while to accompany you. As for the future, I want to go out and see and understand the outside world."
Jiang Jilian's eyes flashed with admiration, and he smiled and said, "Good, you have ambition. In that case, I will support you. Di'er, what do you think?"
Lu Yundi smiled slightly and patted Jiang Yuqi's hand gently: "Sister Yuqi, I support your decision. As long as you say the word, we will help you."
Jiang Yuqi's eyes were slightly red, and she looked at her two relatives gratefully: "Thank you, brother and sister-in-law, I will try my best not to let you down."
"Yundi!" Jiang Jilian immediately followed and glared at Jiang Yuqi hatefully.
Lu Yundi stopped and looked back at her husband, a hint of doubt and worry flashing in her eyes.
"Ji Lian, what's wrong? Why are you looking at Sister Yuqi like that?" Lu Yundi asked softly, trying to figure out her husband's thoughts.
Jiang Jilian frowned and said in a deep voice, "What she said just now is clearly an attempt to sow discord between us. How can I let her succeed?"
Lu Yundi smiled slightly and gently pulled Jiang Jilian's sleeve: "I know you are angry, but Yuqi is my sister after all, we still have to give her a chance to change. Calm down first, and we'll talk about it when we get home."
Jiang Jilian sighed and nodded.
The two returned to the Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion and walked into the lobby. Jiang Yuqi had been waiting there for a long time. When she saw the two of them coming in, she immediately smiled and said, "Brother and sister-in-law are back. Yuqi has been waiting for you for a long time."
Lu Yundi glanced at Jiang Yuqi calmly and said, "Yuqi, is what you just said true?"
Jiang Yuqi blushed, lowered her head, and whispered: "Sister, I...I just said that in a moment of impulse. I regret it now, please forgive me."
Jiang Jilian snorted coldly and said, "Yuqi, do you know that your words almost made us become enemies? If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Jiang Yuqi turned pale with fear, and immediately knelt down and begged, "Brother, I know I was wrong, please forgive me! I will never talk nonsense again."
Lu Yundi looked at her sister, and a trace of pity welled up in her heart. She gently patted Jiang Jilian's shoulder and signaled him to forget it. Jiang Jilian sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll forgive you this time. But you must remember to be careful with your words and actions in the future, and don't make the same mistake again."
Jiang Yuqi nodded repeatedly, looking at her sister and brother with gratitude. Lu Yundi helped her up and said, "Yuqi, get up. We are all family, there is no need to be so reserved."
……
One day, the Zhenxing Marquis's mansion was decorated with lanterns and full of laughter, creating a festive atmosphere. Zhenxing Marquis Jiang Jilian and Lu Yundi personally welcomed the distinguished guest, the emperor's trusted minister, Eunuch Li. Eunuch Li was all smiles and in high spirits, and was warmly received as soon as he entered the house.
Eunuch Li sat down on the armchair in the living room, took the fragrant tea handed to him by Lu Yundi, blew it gently, and said with a smile: "Madam Zhenxing is really clever and skillful. This tea is brewed just right."
Lu Yundi smiled slightly and said modestly: "Eunuch Li, you are too kind. This is what we should do."
Jiang Jilian sat opposite Eunuch Li and asked respectfully, "Eunuch Li, what are you doing here this time?"
Eunuch Li put down the teacup in his hand, became serious, and said, "Marquis Zhenxing, to be honest, the Emperor plans to hold a grand birthday banquet in the near future, and has specially ordered me to come and invite everyone in the Marquis Zhenxing's mansion."
Jiang Jilian was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "This is His Majesty's favor to us. We will definitely attend on time."
Eunuch Li nodded and said, "For this birthday banquet, His Majesty the Emperor hopes that all the princes can bring their families to celebrate together. After all, this is His Majesty the Emperor's birthday banquet, and it is of great significance."
Lu Yundi smiled slightly and said, "Eunuch Li, we will take the children with us."
Eunuch Li nodded with satisfaction, chatted with Jiang Jilian and Lu Yundi for a while, and then stood up to say goodbye. Jiang Jilian and Lu Yundi personally saw Eunuch Li out, until they watched his figure disappear in the distance.
Back in the living room, Jiang Jilian let out a long sigh and said, "This eunuch Li is indeed as good as his reputation says. He is eloquent and makes people feel like spring breeze."
Lu Yundi smiled lightly and said, "Yes, Eunuch Li's visit not only brought the emperor's invitation, but also brought us closer to the palace."
Jiang Jilian nodded and said, "However, this birthday banquet is of great importance. We must prepare well."
Finally, the day of the birthday banquet arrived. The people from Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion arrived at the palace early. Along the way, they saw many familiar figures, and they greeted them one after another, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
At the birthday banquet, the emperor sat on the dragon throne, with civil and military officials standing on both sides. Jiang Jilian and Lu Yundi, with their children, stood below in an orderly manner.
When the emperor saw everyone present, he announced with a cheerful look: "Today is the birthday banquet, everyone can enjoy themselves and there is no need to be restrained."
The birthday banquet began with singing and dancing, fine wine and delicious food. The emperor talked and laughed with everyone, and the atmosphere was particularly harmonious. Jiang Jilian and Lu Yundi also brought their children to chat with people around them.
At this time, Eunuch Li came over and said to Jiang Jilian and his wife, "Marquis Zhenxing, Madam, your child is so cute. He will definitely become a pillar of the Western Wei Dynasty in the future."
Jiang Jilian smiled slightly and said, "Eunuch Li, you are too kind. The children are still young and need more guidance."
Lu Yundi smiled gently and said, "Yes, my husband and I will do our best to educate them and cultivate useful talents for the Western Wei Dynasty."
Eunuch Li nodded, chatted with Jiang Jilian and his wife for a while, and then said goodbye and left.
……
Lu Yundi looked at Ye Wanxue and then at Hongying. This matter has not been resolved yet!
She sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. Ye Wanxue bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes were firm, while Hongying looked worried.
"Madam, this matter is getting more and more serious. What should we do?" Hongying asked anxiously.
Lu Yundi pondered for a moment, turned around and sat on the chair, gently brushed off the dust on his robe, and said calmly: "This matter involves the reputation of the mansion, we must not take it lightly. Hongying, go and ask the young master to come over, I have something to discuss with him."
Hongying left in a hurry after hearing this. After a while, Jiang Yinli came in. He was dressed in brocade clothes, and his brows revealed a heroic spirit.
"Mother, Hongying said you have something to talk to me about?" Jiang Yinli asked with a bow.
Lu Yundi nodded slightly, pointed at Ye Wanxue and said, "Yinli, do you know the origin of this Miss Ye?"
Jiang Yinli glanced at Ye Wanxue and frowned slightly: "Mother, I really don't know her origins. But what does this have to do with me?"
Lu Yundi sighed, "Yinli, don't you understand? If this Miss Ye is really your biological mother, then the reputation of the mansion will be greatly damaged. We must find out her identity before we can respond."
