Chapter 4: Butler's Cards
Lu Yundi pulled down the boy's pants and said angrily, "You little bastard, you actually dared to act wildly in the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion! If I don't teach you a lesson today, you don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is! I'll spank you twenty times first!"
The child struggled, trying to get rid of Lu Yundi's control, but her strength made him unable to move. His face flushed, and he shouted loudly: "Lu Yundi, you dare to hit me! I am the eldest grandson of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion!"
Lu Yundi sneered: "So what if you are the eldest grandson of the Loyal and Brave Marquis? I am still your stepmother! You must admit your mistake to me today, otherwise I will never let you off easily!"
The child's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief: "You...you dare!"
Lu Yundi stopped talking nonsense, raised his hand and slapped him hard on the butt.
Seeing that he was not convinced, he increased the force on his hands.
The child was beaten so hard that he screamed and cried out in pain.
The people around changed color, but no one dared to step forward to dissuade them.
Lu Yundi's action shocked everyone. No one had expected that the Crown Prince's Consort, who had just married into the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, would be so cruel to the eldest grandson of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion.
Upon hearing the news, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and his wife rushed over. When the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery saw his favorite grandson being beaten, his face suddenly turned livid. He quickly stepped forward and shouted angrily, "Bride, what are you doing?!"
His eyes were cold and stern, and he exuded an aura of authority.
Lu Yundi paused what he was doing, looked at the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery coldly, and said, "My Lord, this child was rude and wild at my wedding. I was just teaching him the rules."
The expression of the loyal and brave Marquis eased a little, but he was still serious: "There must be a limit to the rules of the religion. You can't treat him like this."
At this time, the kind-looking Lady Hou came over, looked at the little boy who was beaten and in tears, then looked at Lu Yundi, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.
She gently patted Lu Yundi's shoulder, smiled, and said, "Bride, I know you are a sensible person, and you did the right thing. But this is the face of the family after all, so you should be more careful about such things in the future."
Lu Yundi nodded slightly and said, "Madam, don't worry, I know my limits."
When the little boy heard this, he couldn't help crying out loud: "Grandma, Grandpa, she...she hit me!"
The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery glanced at her grandson and said gently, "Okay, stop crying. You are also wrong. In the future, you must abide by the rules in solemn occasions such as weddings."
The little boy wiped his tears and wanted to say something, but when he saw the serious look in the Marquis's eyes, he could only lower his head silently.
Lu Yundi watched this scene and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that her performance today had been recognized by the Marquis's wife.
In this family, gaining the recognition of the Marquis's wife means that she can gain a firm foothold in the Marquis's mansion.
She turned to look at the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and said with a smile, "My Lord, I know you love your grandson, but I also want you to know that I, Lu Yundi, am not someone who is easy to bully. I taught him a lesson today so that he can behave better in the future."
The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery looked at Lu Yundi, with a hint of approval in his eyes. He nodded slightly and said, "My new wife, you are right. I hope you can play the role of the Crown Prince's Consort in the Marquis' Mansion and manage this family well. As for this child, I will educate him personally."
As he said this, he glared at the little boy.
Lu Yundi responded with a smile and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Canglan's little face was full of stubbornness, his big eyes were wide open, staring straight at Lu Yundi.
"Grandfather, I don't like this woman! She must be a vicious stepmother who will abuse me and my sister! I will never allow her to hurt us!"
Hearing this, the Loyal and Brave Marquis didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He gently patted Yan Canglan's little head, his eyes full of helplessness and doting: "Don't worry, your grandfather will support you!"
Yan Canglan refused to give in: "No! She hit me so hard just now, I must make sure this woman is severely punished! I must--"
Before he could finish his words, Marquis Zhongyong winked impatiently at the two servants beside him. The two servants, one on the left and one on the right, immediately covered Yan Canglan's mouth and forcibly carried the little ancestor away.
Lu Yundi's face flashed with embarrassment, but she quickly regained her composure. She looked at Yan Canglan's back, smiled and said to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, "My Lord, the child is still young and naive. Please don't blame him."
The loyal and brave Marquis nodded and said to Lu Yundi, "Bride, you are a sensible person. I know you won't abuse the children, but the child is simple-minded and needs time to accept you."
Lu Yundi sighed softly and said, "My Lord, I know. I will treat him patiently and move him with my sincerity."
The loyal and brave Marquis smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I believe you can do it."
Without Yan Canglan's interference, Lu Yundi quickly and smoothly completed the tedious wedding ceremony, and the marquis's wife took her to the backyard.
The sunlight shines through the leaves onto the bluestone path, and the mottled light and shadows illuminate the figures of an old man and a young boy.
"Di'er, the wedding ceremony was completed successfully. How do you feel? You were married off to our Marquis' Mansion in exchange for a bride, which really wronged you." The Marquis's wife said with concern and some guilt on her face.
Lu Yundi smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Madam. Everything is fine. To be honest, I don't feel wronged. Being the daughter-in-law of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion is a blessing I earned in my previous life."
After hearing this, Madam Hou showed a satisfied smile on her face, patted Lu Yundi's hand gently, and said, "Good child, I feel relieved if you think so. From now on, this is your home, and I will treat you like my daughter."
Marquis Zhongyong stood aside, watching the intimate interaction between his wife and Lu Yundi, and felt quite gratified.
He cleared his throat and said, "Di'er, since you have entered the Marquis's Mansion, I have discussed with your wife and decided to let you manage the household affairs, and also ask you to supervise the children's studies."
Lu Yundi was slightly stunned. She had never expected that the Marquis's Mansion would actually entrust the household chores to a new bride like her. She pondered for a moment and said, "My Lord, Madam, I know that I am not very talented and knowledgeable, and I am afraid that I am not up to the task."
The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery frowned and said seriously, "Di'er, you don't have to be modest. I believe in your ability. Since you can marry in place of someone else, it shows that you have extraordinary talents. I believe you can manage the Marquis' Mansion in an orderly manner."
Seeing that the Marquis trusted her so much, Lu Yundi felt a warm feeling in her heart. She straightened her back and said firmly, "Don't worry, Marquis, I will do my best and live up to the Marquis' trust."
Seeing Lu Yundi's firm attitude, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and his wife became more satisfied.
The two looked at each other, and then Marquis Zhongyong took out a deck of bamboo cards from his arms and personally handed the cards engraved with the words "Master of the House" to Lu Yundi.
"Di'er, this is the housekeeper's card of our Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion. From today on, we have decided to hand over all the affairs of the family to you. Are you willing to accept it?"
