Lu Yundi gently stroked Hongying's hair, speaking in a gentle tone: "Hongying, I know you care about the young master, but there are some things you must understand. If we let the young master regain consciousness, he may attract assassins from the Lu family. I can't let him fall into danger without any defense."

A trace of confusion flashed in Hongying's eyes: "Then how can we protect the young master?"

A hint of determination flashed across Lu Yundi's eyes: "We must keep him in a state of madness, so that he becomes a hidden danger within the Lu family, rather than a sacrifice. In this way, they will not dare to attack him easily."

After saying that, Lu Yundi slapped Lu Zhiwei on the back, causing him to spit out some of the medicine he had just drunk. Hongying widened her eyes and looked at the lady in surprise, not knowing what she was doing.

Hongying couldn't help but ask, "Madam, is it really okay to do this? The herbs are not suitable for the young master, will his life be in danger?"

Lu Yundi smiled gently, with a look of determination in his eyes: "Hongying, don't worry, I won't let anything happen to my brother. I will closely monitor his condition and ensure his safety."

Hongying was still a little worried, but she knew that Lu Yundi's decisions were often well thought out, so she nodded: "Madam, I understand. I will do my best to assist you and protect the young master."

Yan Canglan, who was standing by, was stunned when he saw that Lu Yundi stopped giving the medicine to her brother. He scratched the back of his head and asked, "Madam, isn't this medicine extremely precious? Why did you suddenly stop giving it to brother Zhiwei? Is it because the medicine is not effective enough?"

Lu Yundi frowned slightly, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, but she did not answer Yan Canglan's question. She turned to Hongying and said, "Let's go out first."

Hongying nodded slightly and followed Lu Yundi towards the front of the mansion.

Yan Canglan was dissatisfied and was about to ask again, but Yan Shuqin quietly pulled his sleeve.

When they returned to the front gate of Lu's residence, the maids and nannies outside the door had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Lu Yundi and others coming back, they all came to greet them.

Lu Yundi turned around, looked at Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin, and said softly: "You should go back to the Marquis' Mansion first. The Lu family is very boring and not suitable for you to stay."

Yan Canglan frowned, his eyes were as cold as ice, and he said in a somewhat shady tone: "Madam, are you worried that we will cause trouble here? Do you think we will embarrass you?"

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a bit of helplessness in his eyes, and replied softly: "Canglan, you think too much. I just think that you may feel bored here. The Marquis' Mansion is your home."

Yan Shuqin gently pulled Yan Canglan's sleeve and whispered, "Brother, Madam is right. It is indeed inappropriate for us to be here. Let's go back first, so as not to embarrass Madam."

Yan Canglan hesitated for a moment, his eyes showing a struggle, but he finally nodded and said, "Okay, since Madam said so, let's go back to the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion first."

Lu Yundi watched them leave, then turned and walked over the high threshold of the Lu Mansion.

Before going to court today, Minister Lu specifically instructed Madam Lu to make sure to arrange a welcoming ceremony for her daughter Lu Yundi's return home.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu was delighted and quickly agreed, thinking to herself that this was not only her daughter's reputation, but also the glory of the Lu family.

At daybreak, Mrs. Lu came to the front hall early and personally supervised the people setting up the venue.

She was wearing a gorgeous purple satin robe and a golden crown on her head, and she looked radiant.

Lu Wanqing also followed her mother. She was wearing a turquoise silk dress, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes and an elegant temperament.

Soon, other family members of the Lu family also arrived.

Old Madam Lu sat in the first seat. She had white hair, sharp eyes and a kind smile on her face.

Behind them were Lu Yundi’s second brother Lu Yunpeng and third brother Lu Yunhe, both of whom looked radiant and imposing.

Lu Yundi's fourth sister Lu Yunyao and fifth sister Lu Yunxuan also sat on both sides. They were all wearing exquisite dresses and were beautiful and charming.

After everyone sat down, Madam Lu looked at everything in front of her and was satisfied. She said to Madam Lu: "Mother, Yundi is coming home today, and the mansion has specially prepared a grand welcome ceremony. Are you satisfied?"

Madam Lu smiled and said, "Everything has been arranged very well. You have worked hard. Yundi is a promising child. She is the pride of our Lu family to marry into the loyal and brave Marquis's mansion."

Lu Yunyao said, "Yes, my second sister has been smart and talented since she was young. We should celebrate her return this time."

Lu Yunpeng nodded and agreed, "That's right. Our Lu family is all excited about my sister's return. It's a pity that the court has something going on today, otherwise my father would have come to greet her in person."

Everyone was enthusiastic, except Lu Wanqing, who kept his head down, looked gloomy, and said nothing.

Mrs. Lu looked at her daughter, the smile on her lips froze suddenly, and her eyes revealed deep worry.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart and said softly: "Wanqing, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about something?" Mrs. Lu asked gently, her eyes full of concern.

Lu Wanqing raised her head, a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes. She chuckled and said, "Mother, look at me like this, what could I be worried about? It's just a small matter, don't take it to heart."

Mrs. Lu frowned. She knew her daughter's character. She must be worried about something. She said slowly, "Wanqing, you have been smart since you were a child, but now you have become so sensitive. I know you must be dissatisfied. You might as well speak out. Mother will help you solve it."

Lu Wanqing sneered and said, "Mother, do you really not know? Or are you pretending not to know? Today, when we return home, the young marquis has not returned yet, so how could Lu Yundi come back alone? If we wait here, we will only bring shame upon ourselves."

Mrs. Lu's face changed. She didn't expect her daughter to mention this matter directly.

He frowned, the worry on his face becoming more intense: "Wanqing, how can you say that? Yundi...she is your sister after all, you should understand her."

Lu Wanqing sneered: "Mother, if she comes back today, I won't eat tonight!"

"Oh? Then you really didn't have dinner!"

As the voice drifted, Lu Yundi walked slowly, wearing gorgeous clothes, the hem of her clothes swaying gently with her steps, like a peony blooming in spring, gorgeous and eye-catching. Her eyebrows and eyes were smiling, her spirits were high, and she looked confident and calm.

Mrs. Lu had been waiting at the door for a long time. When she saw Lu Yundi, her eyes lit up and she greeted him enthusiastically. She smiled, her eyes full of admiration and love. She patted Lu Yundi's hand and said, "Yundi, you are getting more and more beautiful. This gorgeous dress looks like it was tailor-made for you."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly and responded politely: "Thank you for the compliment, Madam. I prepared this dress specially for today's return banquet."

Her slender figure, elegant manners, and exquisite dress instantly attracted everyone's attention and made her the focus of attention.
