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

Yan Canglan heard this and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but then he became firm again. He knew very well the importance of the Phoenix Feather Pearl to himself and the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion, so he continued to ask: "Master, what is so special about this Phoenix Feather Pearl that makes it so mysterious?"

The old monk closed his eyes slightly, as if recalling something, and then slowly said: "The Phoenix Feather Pearl is a pearl condensed from the feathers of a phoenix. It contains endless power, can predict the future, see into people's hearts, and can help people break through bottlenecks and improve their cultivation. But precisely because its power is too strong, it is hidden to prevent it from being obtained by lawless people."

Hearing this, Yan Canglan couldn't help but be moved. He had always longed to break through his cultivation level, and this Phoenix Feather Pearl seemed to be exactly what he needed.

But he also knew that the Phoenix Feather Pearl was not so easy to obtain, so he asked the old monk: "Master, how can I find the Phoenix Feather Pearl?"

The old monk opened his eyes and looked at Yan Canglan, his eyes revealing a trace of scrutiny, and then slowly said: "If you are determined to find the Phoenix Feather Pearl, first of all, you must have good intentions, secondly, you must have a firm will and an unyielding spirit, and finally, you must have a chance. If you can do these three things, then the Phoenix Feather Pearl will naturally appear in front of you."

After hearing this, Yan Canglan made up his mind. He bowed deeply to the old monk and said, "Master, I understand. I will do my best to find the Phoenix Feather Pearl. Thank you for your guidance."

The old monk smiled and nodded, "Okay, I wish you success."

From that day on, Yan Canglan began his journey to find the Phoenix Wing Pearl. He traveled through mountains and rivers, and went through untold hardships, but he still couldn't find any trace of the Phoenix Wing Pearl. However, he did not give up. He firmly believed that as long as he had good intentions and a firm will, he would be able to find the Phoenix Wing Pearl.

During Yan Canglan's search, he came to the ancient temple again.

When he entered the main hall, he saw the old monk waiting for him. He walked up to him and asked, "Master, I have gone through so much hardship, but still haven't found the Phoenix Feather Pearl. Is it because I don't have this opportunity?"

The old monk smiled slightly, looked at Yan Canglan, and said slowly: "You have gone through so much hardship, is your heart still as firm as it was at the beginning?"

Yan Canglan answered without hesitation: "Master, my belief has never changed. I must find the Phoenix Feather Pearl."

After hearing this, the old monk nodded slightly, then took out a bead from his sleeve and handed it to Yan Canglan, saying: "This is the Phoenix Feather Bead. Since you have such a firm belief, then it should be yours."

Yan Canglan took the Phoenix Feather Pearl and felt a warm force flowing into his body from the pearl.

He finally found what he had been looking for.

He bowed deeply to the old monk and said, "Master, thank you for your guidance. I will definitely make good use of this Phoenix Feather Pearl to improve my cultivation and bring honor to the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion."

Yan Canglan brought the Phoenix Feather Pearl back to the Princess's Mansion and handed it to the Princess.

……

When everyone present thought that Yan Canglan was going to get hit by the slap from the eldest princess, Lu Yundi suddenly caught the slap!

Lu Yundi's face was like frost in winter, cold and resolute. Her eyes were like two sharp swords, staring directly at the princess, making everyone present feel a chill.

The princess's hand stopped in mid-air. A flash of surprise flashed across her eyes, which was then replaced by anger. She stared at Lu Yundi and said sharply, "Lu Yundi, what are you doing? How dare you block my slap?"

Lu Yundi did not answer, but stared at the princess closely, with a barely perceptible firmness in her eyes. She gently pushed Yan Canglan away, signaling him to step back.

Yan Canglan's heart tightened, his mother was protecting him.

A trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes, but he also knew that this was not the time to express his feelings. He stepped back silently, watching the conflict that was about to break out with a firm look in his eyes.

"Princess, I can't let Canglan get this slap." Lu Yundi's voice was calm and firm, as if she was stating an unchangeable fact.

The eldest princess's expression became even uglier. She said coldly, "Lu Yundi, who do you think you are? How dare you teach me a lesson here?"

Lu Yundi smiled faintly, that smile was indifferent but firm: "I am Yan Canglan's mother, the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. I am here today to protect my son and prevent him from being humiliated by an unreasonable slap."

The princess' eyes widened even more. She seemed to have never seen Lu Yundi so determined. She said angrily: "Okay, okay, okay, since you dare to contradict me like this today, don't blame me for being rude."

Lu Yundi did not back down. She straightened her back and looked at the princess firmly. "Princess, if you punish Canglan for a trivial matter, I have nothing to say. But today's incident was obviously instigated by someone in an attempt to alienate us mother and son. Although I, Lu Yundi, dare not claim to be virtuous, I will not let my son suffer in vain."

The eldest princess's expression became complicated. She looked at Lu Yundi, then at Yan Canglan, and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

Lu Yundi is not an easy person to deal with, but I didn't expect her to be so determined for her son.

At this moment, Yan Canglan suddenly spoke, his voice calm and firm: "Mother, you don't have to do this for me. I am willing to bear this slap to make up for my mistake."

Lu Yundi turned her head, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes. She gently patted Yan Canglan's shoulder, signaling him not to say anything more.

The princess watched this scene, and the anger in her heart was gradually replaced by doubt. She took a deep breath and then slowly said, "Lu Yundi, you said someone was secretly instigating and trying to alienate you and your son?"

Lu Yundi nodded: "That's right. Princess, if you really want to punish Canglan, I have nothing to say. But please find out the truth and don't let innocent people suffer."

The princess pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Okay, since you said so, then I will give you a chance. Go back and investigate this matter carefully. If there is really someone secretly instigating, I will definitely punish them severely."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly. The crisis had been temporarily resolved. She bowed gently and said, "Thank you, Princess."

The princess waved her hand, signaling everyone to leave. Yan Canglan supported his mother and slowly left the princess's mansion.

After returning to the Mansion of Marquis Zhongyong, Lu Yundi immediately summoned the servants in the house and began to investigate the matter.

In Rongxi Hall, Lu Yundi sat in the main seat with a serious expression, examining everyone with sharp eyes.

"Has anyone among you said anything unfavorable to the Marquis' Mansion and Canglan in front of the Princess?" Lu Yundi's voice was cold, revealing unquestionable majesty.

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they had not said that. However, Lu Yundi could see that many of them had flickering eyes, and it was obvious that they had something to hide.

"Mother, there must be something fishy about this matter. Why don't we check them one by one to see who is lying." Yan Canglan stood beside Lu Yundi with a stern expression.

Lu Yundi nodded slightly and turned his gaze to a servant: "You, speak first."

The servant came out trembling, and explained in a panic: "Madam, I really didn't say that. I only know how to be loyal to my master, how could I do such a thing."
