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

Lu Dinglian nodded, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "Madam is right. This matter is of great importance, I must investigate it immediately. You go and rest first, I will handle this matter properly."

Mrs. Lu nodded slightly, turned and left the study.

Lu Dinglian fell into deep thought, thinking that there must be a more complicated conspiracy behind this turmoil.

As night falls, the Lu family's house is brightly lit.

Lu Dinglian sat in his study, candlelight illuminating his serious face as he discussed countermeasures with a trusted aide.

"Sir, this matter involves a lot of people, and we must act with caution. Our best plan now is to start with the arrested person and see if we can find any clues." The aide suggested cautiously.

Lu Dinglian nodded slightly: "That's right. I have ordered people to interrogate the assassin and make him confess the person behind the scenes. In addition, you have to send someone to find out what's going on in the Minister of War's mansion to see if they have taken any action."

The staff took the order and left, while Lu Dinglian continued to sit in the study, waiting for news.

……

The next day.

The morning light from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery’s Mansion shines through the window lattice and into Lu Yundi’s bedroom.

Lu Yundi got up early as usual, gently opened the window, and breathed in the fresh air. She wanted to stretch her muscles and practice Tai Chi, but she found that she was in pain all over.

"Madam, you have to be careful." The maid Hongying walked into the room hurriedly, looking at Lu Yundi with concern, her brows furrowed.

Lu Yundi shook his head gently and said with a smile: "It's okay, maybe I caught a cold last night, I'll be fine after a day's rest. Hongying, go get some hot water, I want to take a bath."

Hongying withdrew in response and brought hot water in a few moments. Lu Yundi slowly took off her outer garment, revealing her plain inner garment. Hongying helped her wash her body and couldn't help but sigh: "Madam, your skin is so white and delicate, just like a newborn baby."

Lu Yundi smiled gently and said, "Hongying, if you were a man, you would definitely fall for me."

Hongying smiled shyly and said, "Madam, you are too kind. Hongying is just a woman. How can I be so lucky as to become your husband?"

After bathing, Lu Yundi changed into comfortable home clothes, sat on the rattan chair by the window, and looked out at the garden. Hongying handed over a cup of hot tea and asked, "Madam, do you want to continue taking the medicine today?"

Lu Yundi nodded gently and said, "Drink it. Although the medicine tastes bitter, you have to drink it for the sake of your health."

Hongying helped Lu Yundi finish the medicine and then said, "Madam, you are not feeling well. Do you want to ask the Feng family doctor to come and take a look?"

Lu Yundi shook his head and said, "No need. I just have a minor illness and I will be fine after a few days of rest."

Hongying didn't want to persuade her any further and quietly stepped aside.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Lu Yundi looked up and saw a middle-aged woman walking in. She was wearing a gorgeous palace dress, and her eyes were full of majesty.

"Madam Zhongyong, are you feeling better?" The woman walked up to Lu Yundi and asked with concern.

Lu Yundi quickly knelt down and saluted, smiling and saying, "Princess, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern."

The princess nodded slightly and helped Lu Yundi up personally, with a look of approval in her eyes: "Get up, you are a lucky person. It is not easy to take care of yourself in these chaotic times."

Lu Yundi stood up, and the maid Hongying quickly handed her a chair and asked her to sit down. The eldest princess also sat down, and Hongying immediately brought a cup of hot tea and said softly: "Princess, please have some tea."

"Hmm." The princess took a sip and her eyes fell on Lu Yundi again. "I heard that you have been working hard for the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion during this period. You have made an indelible contribution to the glory of the Marquis' Mansion today."

Lu Yundi bowed his head slightly and said modestly, "Princess, you are too kind. I am just trying my best to contribute to the Marquis' Mansion."

The princess smiled slightly, with a shrewd look in her eyes: "I heard that you have been busy preparing for the old marquis's sixtieth birthday recently?"

Lu Yundi nodded: "Yes, the old marquis' birthday is coming, and I am busy preparing everything."

"Then let me help you." The eldest princess suddenly said with a firm tone.

Lu Yundi was stunned and quickly refused: "Princess, how can this be possible? You are of noble status, how can you handle these trivial matters yourself?"

The princess patted Lu Yundi's hand gently and said with a smile: "I am not going to take care of it myself, I just want to help you plan it and make the birthday banquet more lively. After all, the birthday banquet of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion is a major event in the capital."

Hearing this, Lu Yundi's eyes flashed with gratitude, and he said hurriedly: "Princess, I am very grateful for your concern."

Hongying stood aside, looking at the two noble women, feeling secretly happy.

The eldest princess' proposal not only shows her concern for Lu Yundi, but also her regard for the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion.

"Princess, what do you think about setting the theme of this birthday banquet as 'loyalty and bravery'?" Lu Yundi suddenly asked.

The princess smiled and said, "What a good idea. The two words 'loyalty and bravery' are not only the symbol of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, but also the spirit of our Western Wei. In this way, the birthday banquet is not only a blessing to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, but also a respect to the Western Wei."

A glimmer of joy flashed across Lu Yundi's eyes: "Princess, you are wise."

After the discussion, the princess stood up and said to Lu Yundi, "I have other things to deal with, so I'll take my leave now. If you have any difficulties, please come to me."

Lu Yundi hurriedly stood up to see her off: "Princess, rest assured, I will prepare the birthday banquet well and live up to your expectations."

After the princess left, Lu Yundi sighed softly and turned back to the inner room of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion. The old marquis was sitting on the armchair, resting his eyes. When he heard Lu Yundi come in, he opened his eyes and asked gently, "Yundi, has the princess left?"

"Yes, father." Lu Yundi walked to the old marquis and gently massaged his back. "The princess is very satisfied with the theme of the birthday banquet. She said that the words 'loyalty and bravery' are the symbols of our mansion and the spirit of our Western Wei."

The old marquis smiled slightly, with a trace of relief in his eyes: "The princess is a sensible person. She can understand the importance of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion. It is our blessing."

"Father, you have worked hard all your life. I want you to enjoy this birthday party." Lu Yundi said softly.

The old marquis shook his head and said, "Enjoyment? I have never pursued enjoyment in my life. I just hope that the Loyal and Brave Marquisate can always maintain this loyalty and bravery, so that the people of Western Wei can live and work in peace and contentment."

A hint of determination flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes: "Don't worry, father, I will continue to carry forward the spirit of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion and make the Western Wei Dynasty more prosperous."

At this time, the old lady came in, looked at the old marquis and Lu Yundi, and said with a smile: "You two are always so tacit."

The old marquis smiled slightly: "Yun Di is my most capable assistant. She can understand my thoughts."

The old lady walked over to Lu Yundi and patted her hands gently: "Yundi, you are a good child. You have contributed so much to the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion over the years."

Lu Yundi said hurriedly: "Mother, you are too kind. It is my honor to be able to contribute to the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion."
