Minister Lu pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion is a century-old family with a profound heritage. When you marry into the mansion, you must not only learn how to deal with the affairs of the mansion, but also know how to get along with the Marquis and his wife. Only in this way can you gain a firm foothold in the mansion."

Lu Yundi humbly asked for advice: "My daughter will definitely study hard if I teach her."

Minister Lu taught Lu Yundi in detail many matters related to the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion, including interpersonal relationships within the mansion, style of doing things, etc. Lu Yundi listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

During the conversation, Minister Lu's expression gradually became serious: "Di'er, I want to remind you that in the Marquis' Mansion, you must not only learn to deal with the affairs within the Mansion, but also be careful to deal with the ups and downs of the outside world. Especially those powerful people, you must know how to keep a distance from them, so as not to bring trouble upon yourself."

A hint of determination flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes: "My daughter understands and will remember your father's teachings."

After a pause, Lu Yundi remembered something, looked at Minister Lu, and slowly said, "Father, I plan to bring Zhiwei to the Marquis' Mansion to live for a few days. What do you think?"

Minister Lu's eyes suddenly became fierce. He frowned and said in an unquestionable tone: "Yun Di, what are you doing? Don't you know Zhi Wei's situation? If he goes to the Marquis' Mansion and hurts Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin, how can you let me explain to them?"

A trace of sadness flashed across Lu Yundi's face. She sighed softly and tried to explain, "Father, I know what you are worried about, but I can't let Zhiwei suffer in the mansion forever. He is my brother, and I have to do something for him."

Minister Lu snorted coldly, his tone full of dissatisfaction: "Do you think you are so great just because you married into the Marquis's Mansion? You can just interfere with the affairs of the Mansion at will? I tell you, Zhiwei's life in the Mansion is already very good, you don't have to worry about him anymore."

Lu Yundi's eyes became firm. She looked directly at Minister Lu and said firmly, "Father, I don't mean to interfere in the affairs of the mansion. I'm just worried about my brother. If you don't agree to him coming to the mansion, please allow me to invite a doctor to treat him."

Minister Lu's expression became even uglier. He widened his eyes and said angrily, "Yun Di, are you forcing me? I've already told you that we've hired a doctor in the past, but the cost of treatment is high and the government can't afford it. Do you think I want to see Zhi Wei like this? I want him to get better more than anyone else."

Lu Yundi's eyes were red, she lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes. She said softly, "Father, I know you are suffering, but I am his sister, I can't watch him go on like this. Even if it costs a lot, I am willing to bear it for him."

Minister Lu looked at the tears in his daughter's eyes and felt a pain in his heart. He knew Lu Yundi's personality. Once she made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. He took a deep breath and tried to soften his tone: "Yundi, I know you feel bad for Zhiwei, but you have to understand that our current situation does not allow us to do this. The identity and status of the Marquis' Mansion means that we cannot make any mistakes."

Lu Yundi raised his head, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Father, I know the status and position of the Marquis' Mansion are important, but isn't Zhi Wei's life important? He is also your son, are you willing to watch him suffer like this?"

Minister Lu's expression became complicated. He looked at his daughter with mixed feelings. Finally, he sighed and said helplessly: "Yun Di, you are right. I am just worried that you will cause trouble to the mansion if you act impulsively. Since you insist so much, I agree that you can ask a doctor to treat Zhi Wei, but you must promise me not to let Zhi Wei go to the mansion."

Lu Yundi showed a relieved smile on her face. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said softly, "Thank you, father. I will be careful and will not let the mansion be affected in any way."

……

After Lu Yundi left, Lu Yunjin pushed open the door of the study with an angry look on his face. The sound of his footsteps was like thunder, startling Lu Shangshu, who was reviewing official documents in the room, and made him look up.

He looked at his son's angry expression, frowned slightly, put down the pen in his hand, and asked calmly: "Yun Jin, what made you lose your composure like this?"

Lu Yunjin's eyes widened and he said angrily, "Father, I really don't understand why you agreed to marry Yundi to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. She is just a concubine's daughter, while Wanqing is the legitimate daughter of our Lu family. This arrangement is too much!"

Minister Lu smiled calmly, sat upright on the chair, and explained in a calm tone: "Yunjin, you don't understand yet. Although Yundi is of low status, she is smart and has her own ideas. She can stand firm in the Loyalty and Bravery Marquis's Mansion. Wanqing is weak in character and may not be able to cope with such an environment. Moreover, the Loyalty and Bravery Marquis's Mansion is on good terms with our Lu family. This is a good strategy to consolidate the relationship between the two families."

Lu Yunjin was displeased and shouted, "Father, you are sacrificing Wanqing's interests! Can't we find a better home for her?"

Minister Lu shook his head slightly, with a complicated look in his eyes: "Yunjin, you don't understand yet. I have arranged Wanqing's marriage very well. As for Yundi, she is smart and clever, so I naturally have to consider her. Moreover, by letting Yan Canglan stay in the Lu Mansion, we can contain Yundi and pave the way for the future interests of the Lu family."

Lu Yunjin widened his eyes and looked at his father in disbelief: "Father, are you using Yan Canglan?"

Minister Lu sighed and his expression became serious: "Yun Jin, how can there be so many things in this world that can be best of both worlds? Sometimes, we have to make some sacrifices. Yan Canglan is my grandson, and I naturally hope that he will be happy. But in this chaotic world, the interests of the family are the most important. I believe that he will understand my difficulties in the future."

Lu Yunjin was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Father, what do you think of Yan Canglan?"

Minister Lu smiled slightly and said, "Yan Canglan is a smart and thoughtful person. Although he is still young, he has already demonstrated extraordinary talent. I believe that he will become a capable assistant to our Lu family in the future."

A trace of doubt flashed across Lu Yunjin's eyes, and he said, "But I always feel that he is a bit rude. At the banquet today, he actually dared to be disrespectful to Sister Wanqing."

A sharp gleam flashed in Minister Lu's eyes: "Rude? That's because he has never seen the world. Young people always have some edges and corners. I believe that after a period of training, he will restrain his behavior."

Lu Yunjin bit his lower lip, as if he wanted to say something, but he finally held it back. He looked at his father, with a hint of helplessness and worry in his eyes.

Minister Lu comforted her softly upon seeing this: "Yun Jin, I know you are unhappy. But you have to understand that the interests of the family are above all else. If our Lu family wants to survive in this chaotic world, we must make some difficult decisions. You have to learn to understand me and support me."
