All the people in the Hou Mansion are evil, and they will be repaid tenfold after rebirth
Chapter 101 Sun Qipeng
Jiang Yinli smiled and comforted her softly, "Mother, you don't have to blame yourself. I understand. We are a family, and facing difficulties together is the most important thing. Moreover, I also feel that I am growing up, and being able to contribute to the family is something I should be proud of."
"Yinli, you have really grown up." There was a hint of relief in Jiang Jilian's voice.
Jiang Yinli looked up at his father, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes: "Father, I will continue to work hard. I am also responsible for the difficulties in the mansion."
Jiang Jilian nodded slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Okay, since you have this intention, then I feel relieved. Let's work together, I believe that one day we will get through this difficult time."
"Bookworm, you have meat but you don't want to eat it." Jiang Yinyi's mouth was full of oil. He glanced at his elder brother Jiang Yinli and muttered.
As soon as Jiang Yinyi finished speaking, the atmosphere at the table suddenly became subtle. Lu Yundi's eyes turned from Jiang Yinli to Jiang Yinyi, and his brows slightly frowned, and the concern on his face turned into blame.
"Yinyi, how can you talk like that? Your brother has been unwell recently and his appetite has naturally decreased. How can you say that to him?" There was a hint of severity in Lu Yundi's tone.
Jiang Yinyi was stunned. He didn't expect that his unintentional words would lead to his mother's blame. He stuck out his tongue and said mischievously, "Mom, I was just joking. I didn't expect you to take it so seriously."
Lu Yundi sighed softly. She knew her youngest son's temperament and that he always didn't know the importance of things. She shook her head with a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "Yinyi, you are not young anymore. You should learn to be considerate of others, especially your brother. He knows how to share the pressure of the family better than you do."
Jiang Jilian also sat at the table. He looked at Jiang Yinyi with a serious look in his eyes: "Yinyi, your brother's behavior is worthy of our learning. As a member of the family, you should also learn to think about the family."
Jiang Yinyi lowered his head somewhat awkwardly. He bit his lip and wanted to explain himself, but he didn't know where to start.
At this time, Jiang Yinli gently patted Jiang Yinyi's shoulder and broke the silence with a smile: "Brother, mother and father are doing this for your own good. I'm fine, don't worry too much."
Jiang Yinyi looked up at Jiang Yinli, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes. He knew what he should do, so he raised his head and said seriously: "Brother, I'm sorry, I just said too much. I will correct it and be more considerate of you in the future."
Lu Yundi and Jiang Jilian smiled at each other. Although Jiang Yinyi was naughty, he had a kind heart but he just didn't know how to express it.
Jiang Jilian nodded slightly, satisfied with Jiang Yinyi's performance: "Since you have realized your mistake, let's work together to make this family more harmonious and warm."
Lu Yundi also smiled, his eyes full of tolerance and love: "Yinyi, your brother's understanding is not only for you, but also for our entire family. You must also learn to grow up and understand your responsibilities."
After dinner, everyone moved to the living room. Jiang Jilian sat in the main seat, and Lu Yundi sat next to him. Jiang Yinli and Jiang Yinyi stood on both sides of their parents, waiting for the next instruction.
"Yinli, how is your progress in studying and practicing martial arts these days?" Jiang Jilian asked, with concern in his eyes.
Jiang Yinli replied respectfully: "Father, I have made some progress in my studies recently, especially in martial arts. But I know I still need to work hard."
Jiang Jilian nodded slightly and encouraged: "Very good, I feel relieved that you have this intention. Remember, studying and practicing martial arts is to better fulfill family responsibilities, not for personal glory."
Jiang Yinyi was listening at the side, feeling a little uncomfortable.
He is always compared with his brother, but he is unwilling to admit his shortcomings.
"Father, I'm also trying hard." Jiang Yinyi couldn't help but speak, trying to prove himself.
Jiang Jilian looked at Jiang Yinyi with a hint of approval in his eyes: "I know you are working hard, but the direction and method of your efforts are very important. What your brother can do, you can do too, as long as you put your heart into it."
Lu Yundi gently patted Jiang Yinyi's shoulder and said softly, "Yinyi, your brother is a role model, but he is not your benchmark. You must learn to find your own direction and play to your strengths."
"Mother, I will." Jiang Yinyi said seriously, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
..........
Lu Yundi remembered Sun Qipeng. In his previous life, he was a guard at the Zhenxing Marquis Mansion. It seemed that he had a mentally ill sister at home.
Madam Hu's words were like a gust of cold wind, blowing through Lu Yundi's heart. She put down the teacup in her hand, and a trace of worry flashed across her brows. The maid Xiang Zhu immediately noticed the change in her master, quietly approached, and asked softly: "Madam, is there something wrong?"
Lu Yundi sighed and looked out the window with a dazed look in his eyes: "You said, Sun Qipeng has been missing for two days, could it be related to the theft in the warehouse?"
Xiang Zhu was slightly stunned, and then replied: "Madam, although Sun Qipeng is a guard, he has a sister with mental problems at home. Maybe he does have a motive. But this is just speculation and needs further verification."
Lu Yundi nodded slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Yes, we can't jump to conclusions easily."
Xiang Zhu saw that Madam looked serious, so he asked cautiously, "Madam, do you suspect that Aunt Ye was responsible for the theft in the storehouse?"
Lu Yundi turned around, his eyes were sharp, and he said firmly: "Although Aunt Ye has some tricks, she is not stupid enough to steal her own dowry. Moreover, I always feel that there must be something fishy behind this. Sun Qipeng's disappearance may be the key to solving this mystery."
The two were silent for a while, and Xiang Zhu suddenly remembered something and said, "Madam, do you remember that Sun Qipeng was suspected after the warehouse was stolen last time? But he had evidence of not being at the scene at the time, so he was ruled out as a suspect."
A gleam of light flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes: "Yes, he did have evidence at the time. But his disappearance this time makes me doubt whether the evidence is reliable. Xiang Zhu, go and make arrangements. I want to re-investigate the matter."
Xiang Zhu took the order and left. After a while, he came back with a stack of books in his hand: "Madam, this is the record of the day when the warehouse was stolen. I have ordered the servants to find out Sun Qipeng's whereabouts that day to see if there are any new discoveries."
Lu Yundi took the book and flipped through it with focused eyes. She glanced at every record with a frown, as if she was looking for some key clue.
"Madam, look here." Xiang Zhu pointed to a page and said softly, "Here is the record of everyone who entered and left the warehouse that day. Sun Qipeng does have evidence of not being at the scene, but there is a small detail in the record that may be worth noting."
Lu Yundi's eyes fixed, and he looked in the direction Xiang Zhu pointed: "Hmm? It says here that Sun Qipeng briefly left the mansion that afternoon?"
