Traveling through time and space, being replaced by a bride, happily married into a marquis's m

Zhongyong Hou Mansion.

Early in the morning, there were quite a few people gathered at the door.

They were talking and pointing, and it turned out that the wife of Marquis Zhongyong, Lu Yundi, wanted to celebrate the old marquis' birthday today.

The old marquis has been increasingly frail in recent years, so this birthday banquet naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.

The gate of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion slowly opened, and the servants inside and outside the mansion became busy welcoming the distinguished guests.

Lu Yundi was wearing a gorgeous dress, her brows showing fatigue, but she still maintained a dignified smile. She looked at the crowd at the door and couldn't help feeling deeply moved.

"Madam, you have worked hard." The old marquis's personal bodyguard Zhao Dazhong walked over and said in a low voice.

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes: "Brother Zhao, with you here, I feel more at ease."

Zhao Dazhong smiled slightly and turned to arrange the guests at the door. At this time, a gorgeous carriage slowly drove over, and everyone made way. A middle-aged man got off the carriage. He was dressed in court clothes and had an extraordinary demeanor. He was the prime minister of the current dynasty.

As soon as the prime minister entered the mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, he saw Lu Yundi. He smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Madam, congratulations, today is the old marquis' birthday, I came here to congratulate him."

Lu Yundi smiled and replied, "Prime Minister, your presence here is truly an honor to our mansion."

As the two were talking, the old marquis came out with the help of the guards. Although he looked haggard, his eyes were still bright. When he saw the prime minister, a smile appeared on his face.

"Prime Minister, you are here." The old marquis' voice was weak, but it revealed a sense of majesty.

The prime minister hurried forward to support the old marquis and asked with concern: "Marquis, are you okay?"

The old marquis shook his head gently: "I am old and useless. However, I am glad to have your personal congratulations today."

The prime minister smiled slightly, turned around and said to Lu Yundi: "Madam, you have worked hard. The old marquis is so lucky to have a filial daughter-in-law like you."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, but felt a little sad in his heart.

The old marquis' health is getting worse and worse. All I can do is try to make him happier.

The banquet started, and the Zhongyong Marquis's mansion was bustling with activity. Lu Yundi shuttled between the guests and handled the situation with ease. However, her eyes could not leave the old marquis. She saw the old marquis chatting and laughing with the guests, and she felt both relieved and worried.

Halfway through the banquet, the old marquis suddenly felt dizzy and his body was about to fall. Lu Yundi discovered it in time and hurried to support him. Seeing this, everyone gathered around him.

"My Lord, what's wrong with you?" Lu Yundi asked nervously.

The old marquis shook his head slightly, his face pale: "It's okay, just a little dizzy."

Upon seeing this, the prime minister hurriedly ordered people to prepare a sedan chair to take the old marquis back to his room to rest. Lu Yundi was worried, but did not dare to show it.

At this time, the old marquis's personal guard Zhao Dazhong came in, looked at Lu Yundi, and whispered: "Madam, don't worry, the marquis will be fine."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly and said softly, "Dazhong, you have worked hard."

Zhao Dazhong smiled slightly, turned around and said to the prime minister: "Prime Minister, the Marquis's physical condition is able to sustain the journey. I will prepare a sedan chair and take the Marquis back to his room to rest."

Seeing Zhao Dazhong so calm, the prime minister was relieved and nodded in agreement. He looked at Lu Yundi and comforted her, "Madam, don't worry. With Zhao Dazhong here, the Marquis will be safe."

The sedan chair was quickly prepared, and Zhao Dazhong personally helped the old marquis to slowly walk into the sedan chair. Lu Yundi and the prime minister followed the sedan chair and returned to the marquis' mansion together.

When he returned to the room, the old marquis's complexion had improved a lot.

At this time, a guard came over and whispered to Zhao Dazhong: "Dazhong, you have worked hard, go and have a rest, I will replace you."

Zhao Dazhong smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter, I can still hold on. The Marquis's safety is important, I can't slack off in the slightest."

The guard had no choice but to nod and leave.

The next day, the old marquis's health improved. He looked at Lu Yundi and said, "Madam, I have to go to the study to deal with some government affairs."

Lu Yundi was slightly startled and asked, "My Lord, can your body support it?"

The old marquis smiled slightly and said, "Madam, don't worry, I'm fine. Government affairs are urgent and I can't delay any longer."

Lu Yundi looked at the old marquis, feeling both worried and admiring.

……

The back garden of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion is full of spring and the fragrance of flowers is everywhere.

Lu Yundi stood in the garden, watching the young servants hurried away. She nodded slightly, turned and walked towards the housekeeper.

The housekeeper Liu Fu, a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a burly figure and a loyal face, followed behind Lu Yundi and asked cautiously, "Madam, how should we deal with those servants?"

Lu Yundi stopped, his eyes like water, and said softly: "Do as I say, give each of them a small gift and let them leave on their own. These young people are impatient and will only cause trouble if they stay in the Marquis' Mansion."

Liu Fu nodded, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes: "Madam, the Marquis has just passed away, and the mansion is busy with affairs. If these servants leave, won't the mansion be even more short-handed?"

Lu Yundi smiled lightly, his eyes firm: "Liu Fu, you have followed me for many years, don't you know me? When these servants leave, there will naturally be new servants to replace them. The Marquis' Mansion is not a place of charity, and useless people cannot be kept."

Liu Fu said no more and turned to make arrangements. Lu Yundi looked at his back and sighed slightly.

After a while, Liu Fu came back and whispered, "Madam, the gifts are ready. I will go and deliver them myself."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly and said, "Liu Fu, you have been in this mansion for many years, and it is time for you to give an explanation. I plan to petition the emperor to let you serve as the general manager of the mansion. What do you think?"

Liu Fu was stunned and knelt down quickly: "Madam, this is unacceptable. I am just a servant, how dare I take on such an important task."

Lu Yundi smiled gently and helped Liu Fu up personally: "Liu Fu, you are a sensible person. I do this for the future of the Marquis's Mansion. If you don't want to, I won't mention it again."

A trace of gratitude flashed in Liu Fu's eyes, and he finally nodded and agreed: "Madam, in this case, I am willing to serve the Marquis' Mansion."

The servants left the mansion one after another, and Liu Fu officially became the general manager of the mansion. Lu Yundi began to handle the affairs of the mansion, from the expenses of the mansion to the food and daily life of the servants, she personally asked about them.

One day, when Lu Yundi was dealing with accounts, Liu Fu walked in with a serious look on his face: "Madam, there is someone outside who wants to see you. He claims to be an old friend of the Marquis."

Lu Yundi was slightly startled, put down the pen in his hand, and said, "Old friends? They should have known about the death of the Marquis. Let them in."

After a while, two middle-aged men came in. They were dressed simply and looked sad. When they saw Lu Yundi, they knelt down immediately and said, "Madam, we heard that the Marquis had unfortunately passed away, so we came to offer our condolences."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly and motioned for them to stand up: "Please stand up, the Marquis' spirit in heaven will be grateful to you."
