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

Lu Yunjin nodded silently. Although he still had doubts in his heart, he took a deep breath and said, "Father, I will try to understand you. But please promise me that you must protect Sister Wanqing!"

Minister Lu smiled and patted his son's shoulder: "Don't worry, Yunjin. I will do my best to protect them. You also have to work hard and become the pillar of our Lu family in the future."

The father and son smiled at each other, and the atmosphere gradually eased.

……

Minister Lu came out of the study, walking hurriedly with a serious look on his face.

He walked through the corridor and came to Lu Yundi's residence.

Lu Yundi was sorting books in the house. When he heard his father's voice, he immediately put down his work and went out to greet him.

"Father, what do you want to talk to me about?" Lu Yundi asked, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Minister Lu said in a deep voice: "Yundi, let me accompany you to visit your brother."

Lu Yundi was slightly startled, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes, and then he nodded: "Thank you for your concern, father. I'm just about to go over."

The two of them walked through the winding corridor and came to the backyard.

The backyard was shaded by green trees, with birds singing and flowers blooming. Lu Zhiwei's room was in a corner behind the camphor tree, with two maids guarding the door.

Minister Lu pushed the door open and walked in. He saw that the room was clean and tidy, with new clothes and food placed on the table. Two maids were taking good care of Lu Zhiwei.

"Zhiwei, are you awake?" Lu Yundi called his brother softly.

Lu Zhiwei slowly opened his eyes and when he saw his sister and father, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

Minister Lu sat by the bed and asked with concern, "How is Zhiwei's health?"

Lu Yundi felt his pulse gently and breathed a sigh of relief after a moment: "Father, my brother is fine, he is just in a deep sleep."

Minister Lu nodded and said to the two maids, "You must take good care of Zhiwei and not slack off in the slightest."

The two maids nodded quickly.

……

Lu Yundi led Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin out of Lu's mansion and got on the carriage back to the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

In the spacious carriage, Lu Yundi sat on the soft carpet, looking at Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin with firm eyes.

The sunlight shone through the car window onto her face, reflecting her unquestionable authority.

After a while of silence, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward. Lady Lu Yundi, the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, sat in the center of the carriage, with her stepson Yan Canglan and stepdaughter Yan Shuqin on either side. The carriage swayed slightly, as if it could sense the tension in the carriage.

Lu Yundi looked at the scenery outside the car, but his heart was filled with waves.

This return home would definitely cause some disturbances. However, with the support of Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin, she felt more confident.

"Madam, don't worry. With us here, you won't be bullied by anyone anymore." Yan Canglan's voice was firm and powerful, and his eyes were full of determination.

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes: "Canglan, I am very grateful to you and my sister for protecting me. However, I am afraid that I will not be able to repay this gratitude in the future."

Yan Shuqin widened her eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "Madam, what are you talking about? We are a family, and it is our duty to help you. However, Canglan is right, our help is conditional."

Lu Yundi was stunned and looked at Yan Shuqin: "Shuqin, tell me, what is the condition?"

"We don't interfere with each other. You can't control us, and we won't control you either!"

Lu Yundi immediately refused: "No. I promised your grandparents to help discipline you, I can't go back on my word."

Yan Canglan pursed his lips tightly, his dissatisfaction was obvious. He stared at Lu Yundi and said in a cold and hard tone: "Mother, since you have returned to the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion, you should understand that we do not need your 'discipline'."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, his eyes calm: "Canglan, you don't understand yet. I promised your grandparents that I would discipline you and Shuqin well, how can I go back on my word?"

Yan Shuqin snorted and glared at Lu Yundi in dissatisfaction: "Madam, do you think that you are the mistress of our Yan family and you can discipline us at will?"

Lu Yundi shook his head slightly, with a hint of disappointment in his tone: "Shuqin, you are wrong. I don't mean to restrict your freedom. I just hope that you can study hard and don't violate the house rules. This is responsible for you and for the Yan family."

Yan Canglan sneered: "Responsible? Do you think you are doing this for our own good? Don't forget, our Yan family's rules are strict, and we don't need you to remind us."

Lu Yundi's eyes were firm, and he said calmly, "It is precisely because of the strict family rules that I have to discipline you. Otherwise, once you make a mistake, you will be severely punished. I am trying to protect you and prevent you from going astray."

Yan Shuqin widened her eyes and said angrily: "Madam, are you threatening us?"

Lu Yundi shook her head and said calmly: "Threat? No. I just want you to understand that I am doing this out of a loving mother's heart. I know you may think I am too strict, but please believe that I will not restrict your freedom like other mothers. I just hope that you can become a moral and talented person."

Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin looked at each other, and the dissatisfaction on their faces gradually dissipated, replaced by a complex emotion.

At this time, Yan Canglan pursed his lips and said reluctantly: "I don't want to go to study!" As he spoke, he glanced at the blue sky and white clouds outside the carriage, his mind had already drifted to the grassland where he was riding horses and shooting arrows.

Lu Yundi, the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, sat opposite him, frowning slightly, with worry and helplessness in her eyes. She sighed softly and said slowly: "Canglan, do you know your sister's physical condition? In order to protect you, she even sucked out the cold poison from mother's stomach. If you don't study anymore and become unlearned, how can she feel at ease?"

When Yan Canglan heard the word "sister", his eyes slightly fluctuated, but he still stiffened his neck and said, "My sister is not in good health, I know. But so what? If I study, will she get better?"

Lu Yundi's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Yan Canglan seriously, and said in a firm tone: "Studying is not just to make you a talented person, but also to make you a responsible person. Your sister is willing to sacrifice her life for you, so don't you want to study hard for her and make yourself a better person?"

Yan Canglan was touched by Lu Yundi's words, and his eyes were a little confused.

Yan Shuqin looked at Yan Canglan and quickly comforted him in a gentle voice: "Brother, you don't have to worry too much. Although my cold is stubborn, it is not incurable. As long as you concentrate on your studies, I have the confidence to defeat the disease."

The carriage was shaking. Lu Yundi sat on the other side of Yan Canglan, looking at the brother and sister, feeling deeply moved.

She patted Yan Canglan's hand gently and said with a smile: "Canglan, your sister is so strong, you should also encourage her. As long as you study hard, I believe that I can find a way to treat your sister."
