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

The night is quiet and deep, and the moonlight sprinkles like water on every corner of the mansion.

Outside Yao Dingtian's study, through the half-open window, Lu Yundi saw Master Yao sitting at the table, holding an ancient book in his hand, looking focused and profound.

"Madam, you are here." Yao Dingtian put down the book, looked up at Lu Yundi outside the window, and spoke calmly.

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, gently opened the door and went in: "Master, I have something to discuss with you."

Yao Dingtian stood up and brought a chair for Lu Yundi. After she sat down, he slowly said, "Madam, please speak."

Lu Yundi sorted out his thoughts and said slowly, "I see that you are cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Although you are usually serious, you are very caring towards everyone in the mansion. I want to know if you are willing to give me some advice on how to better manage the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion so that everyone in the mansion can get what they want and live in harmony?"

Yao Dingtian smiled slightly, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "It is an honor for Madam to think of me like this. I am willing to do my best to offer advice to the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion."

"Master, what do you think of the current situation of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion?"

"Madam, the Loyalty and Bravery Marquis's Mansion has a profound foundation, but it has been somewhat slack in recent years. I believe that the first priority is to awaken the crisis awareness of everyone in the mansion and let them understand that the glory of the Loyalty and Bravery Marquis's Mansion is not taken for granted."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Master, you are right, I feel the same way."

"Madam, there are many young talents in the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion, but they lack opportunities to exercise. I suggest that we set up a 'Youth Academy' to give these young people the opportunity to learn martial arts, literature, management and other knowledge."

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes: "Master, this suggestion is very good! I will immediately discuss it with the old lady and try to implement it as soon as possible."

Yao Dingtian smiled slightly, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Lu Yundi said softly, "Master Yao, why are you always so cold? Do you have any unfulfilled wishes in this world?"

Yao Dingtian turned around, a complex expression flashed in his eyes, but he soon regained his composure and said calmly: "Madam, the affairs of the world are complicated. The reason why I am sober is that I just want to stay sober in this chaotic world."

Lu Yundi smiled, his eyes revealing understanding and tolerance: "It is important to be sober, but being too sober will inevitably make people feel lonely."

Yao Dingtian was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Madam, do you know that loneliness can sometimes be a kind of strength?"

Lu Yundi shook his head gently: "I don't know, but I believe that the emotions between people are the warmest power in this world."

Yao Dingtian suddenly remembered something and asked, "Madam, do you know that there is a secret garden in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion?"

Lu Yundi's eyes flashed with surprise. There was indeed a secret garden in the loyal and brave mansion, but she had never set foot in it. She shook her head: "I know there is a secret garden, but I have never been there."

Yao Dingtian's eyes flashed with anticipation: "Then Madam, are you willing to go with me?"

Lu Yundi smiled slightly and nodded, "Of course, I am honored to go with Master Yao."

The two walked out of the room together and followed the winding path to the secret garden, where birds chirped, flowers bloomed, and water gurgled, forming a sharp contrast with the outside world.

Lu Yundi exclaimed: "I never thought that there would be such a beautiful place in the loyal and brave mansion."

Yao Dingtian said calmly: "This garden was built by the ancestors of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion so that future generations can have a place to think quietly."

At this time, a butterfly fluttered by and landed on Lu Yundi's shoulder. She gently brushed the butterfly away, turned to Yao Dingtian and said, "Master Yao, what do you think is the most precious thing in this world?"

Yao Dingtian pondered for a moment and replied, "In my opinion, the most precious thing is faith. Only with faith can we remain firm in this complicated world."

Lu Yundi nodded in agreement: "Yes, faith is indeed the most precious thing in the world. And for me, what I value most is my family."

Yao Dingtian's eyes flashed with tenderness. He looked at Lu Yundi and smiled, "Madam, you are such a happy person."

Lu Yundi said worriedly: "Master Yao, when do you think this war will end?"

Yao Dingtian was silent for a moment, then replied, "War and chaos are not something that happens overnight."

……

Yan Shuqin's face turned red with excitement. She held Yan Canglan's hand tightly, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, "Brother, you are ranked 35th, and Uncle Zhiwei is ranked 34th... This is really great! The reputation of our Zhongyong Marquis Mansion in Bailu Academy will definitely get higher and higher!"

Yan Canglan smiled and patted his sister's hand, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes, but he was also humble: "Sister, these are temporary, and we still need to keep working hard. Uncle Zhiwei's ranking improvement also means that his cultivation has made great progress, which is good news for our Zhongyong Marquis Mansion."

As they were talking, the three of them had already walked into the meeting hall of Bailu Academy. As one of the aristocratic families of Bailu Academy, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery had a certain status here. Yan Canglan, Yan Shuqin, and Lu Zhiwei sat down respectively, and the students around them cast envious glances at them.

At this time, a student in a white robe came over. His name was Yan Shuqin, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Then he bowed to Yan Canglan and said, "Brother Yan, your ranking has been improved. I am the law enforcement disciple of Bailu Academy, and my name is Yue Ming. I wonder if Brother Yan is willing to spar with me?"

Yan Canglan smiled slightly and looked at Yue Ming, with a hint of fighting spirit in his eyes: "Brother Yue, I am willing to spar with you. But I have to remind you that my sister Yan Shuqin is also here, I hope you can show mercy."

Yue Ming nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Yan, don't worry, I will do my best. However, I also hope to win Brother Yan's respect."

Yan Shuqin looked at the two nervously. Her brother's competition with Yue Ming was not only for ranking, but also for the honor of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion. She clenched her fists tightly.

Following the order, Yan Canglan and Yue Ming attacked at the same time. Their figures flew and intertwined in an instant. Yan Shuqin only felt a flash before her eyes, and when she looked again, her brother had already gained the upper hand.

Yan Canglan's eyes were firm, and the sword in his hand was unstoppable. Although Yue Ming was very powerful, he seemed to be somewhat stretched under Yan Canglan's sword.

As expected, after a fierce battle, Yan Canglan finally defeated Yue Ming. He smiled at his sister, his eyes full of doting. Yan Shuqin jumped up excitedly and cheered: "Brother, you are awesome!"

Lu Zhiwei also showed a relieved smile. He walked to Yan Canglan and patted his shoulder: "Canglan, you have really grown up. You are no longer the child who needs our protection, but the pillar who can protect our Zhongyong Marquis Mansion."

Yan Canglan smiled, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Uncle, I will continue to work hard. For the loyal and brave Marquis Mansion and for my sister, I will fight tirelessly."

The competition between Yan Canglan and Yue Ming also made them famous in Bailu Academy. More and more students were willing to make friends with them, and the status of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion in Bailu Academy was getting higher and higher.
