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

Lu Yundi smiled slightly and glanced at Yan Canglan: "Canglan, don't you understand? There are so many masters in this world. If our Zhongyong Marquis Mansion wants to gain a foothold in this chaotic world, we must recruit talents from all over the world. Recruiting martial arts masters is to find those heroes hidden in the market."

Yan Canglan's expression eased a little after hearing this, but he was still a little worried: "Mother, if we attract too many people from the martial arts world, I'm afraid something might happen."

Lu Yundi gently patted Yan Canglan's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I know what I am doing. We will examine these martial arts masters one by one and select the real talents."

As they were talking, a servant walked into the study and reported, "Madam, dozens of people have come to apply for the job, and they are waiting at the gate of the mansion."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly and said to Yan Canglan: "Let's go and take a look."

The two men arrived at the gate of the mansion and saw a group of martial artists gathered there. They had different expressions, but they all revealed a strong sense of self-confidence.

Lu Yundi's eyes swept through the crowd and suddenly stopped at a thin middle-aged man. The man had a firm gaze and a calm expression, giving people a sense of stability.

"You, come here." Lu Yundi pointed at him.

The middle-aged man stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "My name is Zhao Tiezhu, and I have come to apply for the position of Wu Fuzi."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly and said, "Zhao Tiezhu, do you know why my Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion is recruiting martial arts masters?"

Zhao Tiezhu pondered for a moment and replied, "My guess is that Madam is looking for talents from all over the world to ensure the peace of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion in this chaotic world."

Lu Yundi's eyes flashed with approval, and he asked again: "Then do you know what Master Wu's duties are?"

Zhao Tiezhu answered without hesitation: "Master Wu must not only protect the safety of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion, but also assist the Marquis's Mansion in handling Jianghu affairs. If necessary, he must also contribute to the country."

Lu Yundi nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, you answered well. However, if you want to become a martial arts master of my Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion, you still need to go through some tests."

A hint of determination flashed in Zhao Tiezhu's eyes: "I am willing to accept the test."

Yan Canglan watched the conversation between his mother and Zhao Tiezhu, secretly admiring them. He walked to Lu Yundi and whispered, "Mother, Zhao Tiezhu is indeed extraordinary, but I wonder what the other applicants think?"

Lu Yundi smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I will examine them one by one. If there are really talented people, I will not let them go."

Lu Yundi and Yan Canglan personally presided over the assessment, screening the martial arts candidates who came to apply for the job based on their martial arts, wisdom, loyalty, etc. In the end, a group of outstanding talents were selected, including Zhao Tiezhu.

After Zhao Tiezhu became the martial arts master of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, he served the mansion wholeheartedly. His loyalty and martial arts made Lu Yundi and Yan Canglan very satisfied.

One day, Lu Yundi and Yan Canglan were discussing matters in the study when Zhao Tiezhu suddenly broke in, looking panicked.

"Madam, something terrible has happened! Someone spotted a group of people from the underworld near the Marquis's residence, and they seem to be up to no good."

A cold light flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes: "It seems that trouble has come to our Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion."

Yan Canglan immediately stood up: "Mother, I will take people to deal with this matter."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, his eyes full of trust.

……

On the other side, Lu Mansion.

When Mrs. Lu heard the servant's report, she was shocked: "What did you say? Lu Yundi sold the shop?"

Her voice rose a few notches, startling everyone else in the room and causing them to look up, all with their eyes fixed on Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu's originally well-maintained face now looked a little distorted. She tightly grasped the teacup in her hand, and a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes.

"Ma'am, it is true. The eldest lady sold her two shops in the city, and it is said that the proceeds have been donated to the slums outside the city." The servant answered tremblingly.

Mrs. Lu's face turned pale, and she opened her eyes wide, as if she couldn't believe her ears: "She...what is she going to do? Doesn't she know that those shops are the foundation of our Lu family?"

Lu Yundi came out from behind the screen. She was wearing a light blue dress, looking calm and with clear eyes. She looked at Mrs. Lu and said calmly, "Mother, I know you have been worried about the family business, but I have my own ideas."

Madam Lu stared at Lu Yundi with a cold tone: "What do you think? Don't you know that these shops are the legacy left by your father and the lifeblood of our Lu family? You are ruining the family!"

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in her smile: "Mother, the shop is important, but I think the warmth of the world is more precious. Those children in the slums have no parents and no warm home. It is a good thing that we can help them a little."

Mrs. Lu was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at Lu Yundi and said, "You...you are talking back at me! Do you still have me as your mother in your eyes?"

A trace of sadness flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes. She said softly, "Mother, I have always respected you, but please understand me. I don't want to contradict you, I just think that our Lu family's family business should not only be about money, but also about benevolence."

At this time, Lu Yundi's stepsister Lu Wanqing walked in, her eyes flickering, with a hint of sarcasm on her lips: "Sister, what are you doing? Do you think you can get praise from others just because you sold the shop? Don't forget, you are just a woman in our Lu Mansion, you are not qualified to decide the fate of the family."

Lu Yundi looked at Lu Wanqing with a hint of disappointment in her eyes. She shook her head and said, "Wanqing, do you think I did this to get praise from others? You are wrong. I just want to do my best to help those in need."

Lu Wanqing sneered: "Humph, who do you think you are? What do you think you can change? You are just a woman, what qualifications do you have to help others?"

Lu Yundi smiled gently, and she looked at Lu Wanqing: "Wanqing, you may not know that sometimes, although a person's power is meager, as long as he has good intentions, he can gather into a powerful force."

Mrs. Lu looked at the scene in front of her and became more and more angry. She slammed the table and said, "Enough! Lu Yundi, you are provoking me! Someone, lock her up in the woodshed and let her reflect on her mistakes!"

The servants rushed forward and wanted to take Lu Yundi away. Lu Yundi did not resist at all. She smiled and looked at Mrs. Lu: "Mother, I know you are angry, but I hope you can understand me. I don't regret my decision. I just hope that our Lu family business can have more kindness."

Mrs. Lu glared at Lu Yundi angrily and waved her hand to let the servants take her away. Lu Yundi was locked in the woodshed, but she did not give up her idea.
