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

Yan Canglan frowned and said, "Then why don't you seek justice from the court?"

Li Mufeng smiled bitterly: "Brother Yan, do you think we don't want to? But the power of the powerful is huge, and our Fuyuan Marquis Mansion has long been controlled by them. Any grievance is futile. Now, we can only wait for the opportunity in the dark to uncover the truth."

Yan Canglan was silent for a moment, then said, "Mr. Li, do you know who that noble is?"

Li Mufeng's eyes flashed with hatred, and he said, "Master Yan, you may not know that the powerful noble is the current emperor's trusted minister, named Yao Song. In order to monopolize power, he did not hesitate to frame loyal officials and harm innocent people."

Yan Canglan's face changed. He didn't expect it to be Yao Song. He thought to himself, "Yao Song has great power in the government. It may not be easy to bring him down." But he did not give up. He said, "Master Li, don't worry. I will do my best to uncover the truth and clear the Fuyuan Marquis's grievances."

Li Mufeng's eyes flashed with gratitude, and he said: "Master Yan, we in Fuyuan Marquis Mansion are grateful. But this matter is of great importance, you must act carefully."

Yan Canglan nodded and said, "I understand. Mr. Li, please be patient here for a while. I will definitely find a chance to rescue you."

……

As soon as Lu Yundi got off the sedan chair, he saw the butler Fu Bo standing respectfully in front of the mansion gate with a worried look on his face.

She smiled slightly, walked into the mansion, and Uncle Fu followed closely behind her.

"Madam, you are finally back." Uncle Fu whispered, "A lot of things have happened in the mansion during this period, and I was worried about how to report it to you."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, motioning Uncle Fu to sit down in the pavilion in the garden. The two sat opposite each other, and the breeze outside the pavilion blew by, bringing a hint of freshness.

"Let's get to the point first. Is there anything important happening in the mansion?" Lu Yundi asked, with a hint of seriousness in his eyes.

Uncle Fu pondered for a moment and said slowly, "First of all, the eldest lady's wedding has been postponed because the prince consort suddenly fell ill and his life or death is uncertain. Yan Shuqi has been in a heavy mood recently and prays day and night for the prince consort to recover soon."

Lu Yundi frowned slightly and was silent for a moment: "What about the second young lady? Has her marriage been arranged?"

"The second young lady's marriage has not changed, but her mind does not seem to be on the marriage. Instead, she is becoming more and more concerned about the business of the mansion." There was a hint of worry in Uncle Fu's tone.

Lu Yundi's eyes flashed with admiration, and he smiled and said, "This is a good thing, which shows that she has ambition. Let her try, I believe she can do well."

"Oh, there is one more thing. The expenses in the mansion have been a bit too high during this period. I am worried that Madam's treasury might be a bit tight." Uncle Fu hesitated for a moment, but still said it.

Lu Yundi smiled gently, with a look of determination in his eyes: "Don't worry about the treasury, I will find a way. But, have you ever thought about why the expenses of the mansion have suddenly increased during this period of time?"

Uncle Fu pondered for a moment and said, "I think someone might be secretly manipulating this, deliberately increasing the expenses of the mansion in order to weaken our strength."

A cold light flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes: "If this is the case, then we must be careful. Uncle Fu, how do you think we should deal with it?"

Uncle Fu pondered for a moment and said, "I think we can start from two aspects. First, strengthen the defense of the mansion to prevent someone from taking advantage of the opportunity; second, investigate the expenses of the mansion and find out who is behind it."

Lu Yundi nodded gently: "You are right, let's do this. But before that, I have to go visit Shuqi first."

Uncle Fu stood up quickly: "Madam, I will go with you."

The two came to Yan Shuqi's yard and saw Yan Shuqi sitting in front of the window with a worried look on her face. When she saw her mother and Uncle Fu coming in, she hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Lu Yundi gently patted Yan Shuqi's shoulder and said softly, "Daughter, mother knows that you are upset, but you must believe that the prince consort will definitely get through it."

A trace of tears flashed in Yan Shuqi's eyes, and she nodded: "Daughter understands, mother."

Back at the pavilion, Lu Yundi said to Uncle Fu, "You've worked hard during this period. I'll give you two days off so you can have a good rest."

Uncle Fu hurriedly said, "Madam, I am not tired. Don't worry, I will continue to work hard and serve the Marquis' Mansion."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes: "Uncle Fu, you are a loyal and good housekeeper. I trust you."

However, on the third day, something unexpected happened in the mansion. A servant suddenly disappeared in the dead of night.

Lu Yundi sat on a rosewood chair in the main hall, his face serious and his brows full of deep worry. Uncle Fu stood aside, his face solemn, holding a white jade ruyi in his hand.

"Uncle Fu, what do you think about this matter?" Lu Yundi asked in a low and powerful voice.

Uncle Fu pondered for a moment, frowned, and slowly said, "Madam, this matter is indeed strange. The disappearance of the servant is too coincidental to say it is an accident. I guess there must be something strange behind it."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "In this case, we can't just sit there and watch. Uncle Fu, you must send someone to investigate immediately and make sure to get to the bottom of it."

Uncle Fu received the order and was about to leave when he heard Lu Yundi say again: "This matter involves serious matters. You must be careful and do not alert the enemy."

Uncle Fu responded, "Don't worry, Madam. I will be careful."

The servants were busy looking for information everywhere, but the missing servant seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, with no news at all.

That evening, Lu Yundi was sitting in the hall discussing countermeasures with Uncle Fu when a servant ran in in a panic, "Madam, something bad has happened! Someone found a body in the back garden, and it's suspected to be the missing servant."

Lu Yundi and Uncle Fu looked at each other, and both saw the shock and anger in each other's eyes. Lu Yundi immediately stood up and said coldly: "Let's go and take a look."

In the back garden, the corpse was lying all over the place, a horrible sight. Lu Yundi suppressed her grief and carefully examined the wounds on the corpse, finding that they were caused by a sharp weapon. She turned around and said to Uncle Fu: "This wound is not caused by an ordinary sword. It seems that the murderer used a special weapon."

Uncle Fu pondered and said, "Madam, since the murderer dared to commit the crime in the mansion, he must have something to rely on. We can no longer investigate using conventional means, we must find another way."

Lu Yundi nodded, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Uncle Fu, I have something to ask of you. This matter involves serious matters. You must find the murderer and seek justice for the deceased servant."

Uncle Fu said seriously: "Madam, rest assured, I will not let you down."

That night, Lu Yundi was deep in thought in the hall. Suddenly, a servant ran in with a note in his hand: "Madam, someone found this note at the city gate. It says 'The murderer has escaped. Chase him quickly.'"

Lu Yundi took the note, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes. She carefully examined the note and found that the handwriting on it was sloppy, as if it was written in a hurry. She immediately said to the servant: "Send the order to search the whole city for the murderer and make sure he is arrested."
