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

Yan Shuqin smiled slightly and politely waved her hand to decline: "Thank you, sister, but I don't feel like reading recently, so forget it."

Lu Yunxuan left disappointedly, and seeing this, the others didn't dare to approach her and talk to her anymore.

Mrs. Lu looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: This brother and sister Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin are indeed worthy of their reputation. It seems that if you want to get closer to them, you still need to plan for the long term.

Lu Yundi raised his eyebrows, suddenly looked at Madam Lu, and said softly: "Mother, I want to go and pay respect to Aunt Zheng's spirit tablet. What do you think?"

Madam Lu was slightly startled, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, but she soon regained her composure and said slowly: "Go, Aunt Zheng's spirit tablet is in the quiet room in the back garden, it is your duty to pay your respects."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes. She looked at Mrs. Lu and said softly, "Mother, can you go with me?"

Mrs. Lu was a little surprised, but she nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll go with you."

Lu Yundi lowered her head slightly, hiding the worry in her eyes, and said softly, "Thank you, mother, for agreeing. I have another unwelcome request. I would like to ask you to allow me to observe the ladies in the mansion during the worship to see if they have any abnormal reactions."

Madam Lu frowned slightly. She looked at Lu Yundi and said in a serious tone, "Di'er, what do you mean? Do you think that Aunt Zheng's death is related to the women in the mansion?"

Lu Yundi raised her head, looked directly into Mrs. Lu's eyes, and said firmly, "Mother, I just have some doubts, but I dare not speculate. I just want to observe and see if there are any clues."

Madam Lu was silent for a moment, looked at Lu Yundi deeply, and then slowly said: "Since you have such doubts, then go. But you must remember, don't easily doubt others, and don't easily attack others. The people in the mansion are all carefully selected by me, and they are loyal to me."

Lu Yundi nodded and sighed inwardly. She knew that Madam Lu was a shrewd woman, and it would probably not be easy to get more clues from her.

The two of them came to the quiet room in the back garden together, where the spirit tablet of Aunt Zheng was placed. Incense was burning in front of the tablet, and the air was filled with smoke.

Lu Yundi knelt before the tablet of Aunt Zheng and bowed deeply three times, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked at the tablet and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that her mother's spirit in heaven would protect her and her brother.

Mrs. Lu stood aside, looking at Lu Yundi, and her heart was filled with emotion. She said softly: "Di'er, don't worry, although your biological mother has passed away, we will provide good offerings for her spirit."

The women present all cast their concerned eyes towards Lu Yundi, their expressions varied, some were sympathetic, some were indifferent, and some were a little wary. Lu Yundi took in all these expressions and secretly memorized them in his heart.

After the worship, Lu Yundi returned to Madam Lu. She deliberately asked, "Mother, is my brother Zhiwei doing well in the mansion?"

Madam Lu smiled and said, "Zhi Wei is doing well. Someone is taking care of him. You don't have to worry."

Lu Yundi sighed and pleaded with Madam Lu, "Mother, please let me take Zhiwei to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's residence to stay for a few days. I can take care of him personally there, which will be good for his medicine and diet and his cultivation."

Madam Lu frowned slightly and said seriously, "Yun Di, I know you mean well, but this is inappropriate. Zhi Wei has been sensitive and suspicious since he was a child. He doesn't like to be disturbed by outsiders. Although the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion is big, it is not his home after all."

Lu Yundi's eyes flashed with a hint of pleading, and her tone became softer: "Mother, I understand your concerns, but the Loyalty and Bravery Marquis's Mansion is his home, and every brick and tile there has witnessed his growth. I promise that I will be careful and will not make him feel uncomfortable."

Madam Lu pondered for a moment, her eyes revealing complex emotions. She slowly said, "Yun Di, you know I don't support you, but Zhi Wei's situation is special. He is here, I am watching him, I feel at ease. If we go to the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion, if something goes wrong, how can I explain to your father?"

Lu Yundi bit her lip tightly, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "Mother, I will take care of it myself and will not let anything go wrong. Moreover, the medical skills and medicinal materials in the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion are more complete than here, which will be more beneficial to Zhiwei's recovery."

The two of them were silent in the room for a while, and the atmosphere was a little tense. Mrs. Lu looked at the moonlight outside the window and suddenly said, "Yun Di, you know I'm not a stubborn person. But I'm really worried about this matter. If you really want to stop Wei, wait until he gets better."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Lu Yundi's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination. She nodded gently: "Okay, mother, I'll listen to you. But, I'm really worried about Zhi Wei."

Mrs. Lu looked at her daughter's eyes, her heart softened, she walked up and patted her shoulder gently: "I know you are worried, but you have to believe that I will take good care of him. You also have to take good care of yourself and don't let yourself get tired."

Lu Yundi sighed softly and nodded slightly: "Okay, mother, I will listen to you."

Madam Lu smiled, patted Lu Yundi's hand, and said, "Yundi, stay here for lunch today and have lunch in the mansion. Your father will be home for lunch today, and he has something to tell you."

"Yeah, okay." Lu Yundi responded indifferently.

At this time, Yan Canglan suddenly started to complain, his tone full of boredom and helplessness: "The days in this mansion are the same every day, it's really boring. I wonder if there are some new things in the back garden that can relieve my boredom."

Upon hearing this, Madam Lu smiled slightly, with a hint of tolerance and understanding in her eyes: "Since you feel bored, go to the back garden for a stroll. The scenery there is beautiful, and it may make you feel happier."

A glimmer of joy flashed across Yan Canglan's eyes, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you, grandma."

Lu Yundi stood up, patted Yan Canglan on the shoulder, and said gently: "Let's go, I'll go with you."

The three of them came to the back garden together. It was spring, and the flowers in the garden were in full bloom, with a fragrant aroma. Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin ran excitedly among the flowers, laughing from time to time.

Lu Yundi looked at the children's smiling faces and was filled with joy. She turned back to look at Mrs. Lu and said with a smile, "Mother, we are also pleased to see them having so much fun."

Mrs. Lu nodded gently, with a hint of emotion in her eyes: "Yes, the world of children is always so pure, making people want to protect them."

Yan Canglan was tired from running, so he sat on a stone bench nearby and watched Yan Shuqin dancing among the flowers. He turned to Lu Yundi and said, "Madam, do you think there are any secrets or other interesting things in this mansion?"

Lu Yundi smiled lightly, with a sly look in his eyes: "Of course I can't tell you secrets. But there are some interesting things. For example, do you know that there is a rockery in the back garden, and there is a secret passage behind the rockery, leading to a mysterious place."

Yan Canglan's eyes flashed with curiosity, and he asked hurriedly: "Really? Then should we go and take a look?"
