All the people in the Hou Mansion are evil, and they will be repaid tenfold after rebirth

Xiang Zhu nodded: "Yes, the record shows that he went out for a while in the afternoon, but came back soon. Perhaps this short absence was the opportunity for him to commit the crime."

Lu Yundi nodded thoughtfully, then frowned again: "But this is just speculation. We need solid evidence. Xiang Zhu, send someone to ask the guards that day to see if they noticed Sun Qipeng's abnormal behavior that day."

Xiang Zhu accepted the order and was about to leave when Lu Yundi stopped her again: "Also, go and ask Madam Hu to come. I want to hear her opinion."

Soon, Madam Hu came hurriedly. A trace of worry flashed in her eyes, but it was soon replaced by determination. Lu Yundi briefly recounted the incident and then asked Madam Hu for her opinion.

Madam Hu pondered for a moment and spoke slowly: "Madam, I think Sun Qipeng's disappearance must be related to the theft in the warehouse. After all, he is a guard and knows everything about the mansion. Moreover, his sister with mental problems may be the motive for his crime."

Lu Yundi nodded, having already made up her mind: "Madam Hu, you are right. I will send people to continue investigating this matter until the truth is revealed."

Jiang Yuqi just wanted to have a good chat with the young Marquis Chu Qirui of Chongren Marquis Mansion. She heard that the young Marquis Chu was meeting friends at Yipin Pavilion Restaurant, so Jiang Yuqi urged him to take her there. "Mother, if possible, please help me and the young Marquis Chu..."

Yu looked at her daughter's eyes full of expectation and sighed slightly.

Since the last birthday banquet, Jiang Yuqi's heart has flown to the young Marquis Chu Qirui of Chongren Marquis's Mansion. She pondered for a moment and slowly said: "Yuqi, you know that marriage is not a joke. It is related to the honor and disgrace of the two families."

Jiang Yuqi's eyes dimmed slightly, but she still said firmly: "Mother, I know. But since the first time I saw Young Marquis Chu at the birthday banquet that day, I felt that he was my beloved. I am willing to give everything for him."

Seeing her daughter's obsessed look, Yu couldn't help but feel worried. She sighed and said, "Yuqi, you are a smart child, but matters of love are the most complicated. You know, the relationship between the Chongren Marquis' Mansion and the Zhenxing Marquis' Mansion is not as simple as you think."

Jiang Yuqi frowned and asked in confusion: "Mother, what does this mean? Is there any feud between the Chongren Marquis' Mansion and our Zhenxing Marquis' Mansion?"

Yu shook her head and said, "No. It's just that the Chongren Marquis's family background is prominent and their status is noble. Although our Zhenxing Marquis's family is not bad, it is not as good after all. Moreover, Chu Qirui's identity is special. He is the only son of the Chongren Marquis's family and will inherit the title of Marquis in the future. If you marry him, you must be prepared to face everything."

Jiang Yuqi's expression gradually became serious. She knew that her mother's words were not alarmist. She pondered for a moment, then raised her head with a determined light in her eyes: "Mom, I know what this means, and I also understand that this will be a challenging road. But doesn't love require courage and determination to face everything? I believe that as long as we truly love each other, there is nothing we can't overcome."

Mrs. Yu looked at her daughter's determined eyes, feeling both touched and worried. She took a deep breath and said slowly, "Yuqi, you are right. Love does require courage and determination. But you must know that marriage is not only a matter between two people, but also a matter between two families. If you really decide to be with Chu Qirui, you must get the blessings and support of both families."

Jiang Yuqi nodded silently and said seriously: "Mother, I will prove to the family that I am qualified to be the wife of the Chongren Marquis. I will work hard to be a virtuous wife and help Chu Qirui solve his problems."

Seeing her daughter's serious look, Yu couldn't help but feel a little relieved. She patted Jiang Yuqi's hand gently and said softly: "Yuqi, since you have made up your mind, I will not stop you. But you must remember that no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must remain firm and brave, and don't give up easily."

Jiang Yuqi's eyes sparkled with tears of gratitude. She held her mother's hand tightly and said solemnly: "Thank you, mother. I will remember your words. No matter what difficulties I encounter, I will persevere."

Seeing her daughter's resolute look, Yu was both relieved and worried. She patted Jiang Yuqi's hand gently, and then said slowly: "Yuqi, you are a strong child. I believe you can handle this. But you must remember that no matter what difficulties you encounter, I will always be by your side to support you."

"The clues left by the seniors indicate that the military token is hidden in the mansion of Marquis Zhenxing. Young Marquis, thank you for your hard work. I heard that Jiang Yuqi is in love with you. Perhaps we can start from her..." The masked woman sitting opposite Chu Qirui said softly.

Chu Qirui frowned immediately when he heard this.

Chu Qirui frowned, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it. He gently wiped the tea stains on the table and said lightly: "I naturally know what Jiang Yuqi is thinking. But this matter is very serious. If it is easily exposed, not only will I be in danger, but the entire Chongren Marquis Mansion will also be endangered. You must give me a clear plan."

The masked woman smiled slightly, with a gleam in her eyes: "Don't worry, young marquis, I have arranged everything. Jiang Yuqi is infatuated with you. As long as you give her some guidance, she will take the initiative to take you into the Zhenxing Marquis Mansion. Then, the military token will be at your fingertips."

Chu Qirui hesitated for a moment and nodded, but he still had doubts in his heart. He picked up the teacup and said softly, "Then I'll trouble you. However, there is one thing I don't understand. Since you know the importance of the military talisman, why don't you do it yourself?"

The masked woman's eyes darkened and her voice was slightly cold: "Because I have a hidden difficulty. This military token is of great importance and it must be you. Young Marquis, you just need to do as I say and everything will go well."

Chu Qirui stared at the masked woman, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, but he finally suppressed his doubts. He put down the teacup and sighed deeply: "In this case, I will believe you for once. I hope everything will be as you said."

The masked woman nodded slightly and continued, "Young Marquis, you should make good use of Jiang Yuqi's feelings for you. This fourth meeting, you might as well be more proactive and let her feel your care, so that she will rely on you more."

Chu Qirui was silent for a while, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, and finally nodded: "I will do it."

Chu Qirui put down his teacup, stared at the masked woman with a sharp gaze, and said firmly: "I understand. But Jiang Yuqi is not an easy woman to get along with. She is smart and sharp. If I take the initiative too much, it may backfire."

The masked woman smiled gently, with a gleam of wisdom in her eyes: "Young Marquis, you are worrying too much. Although Jiang Yuqi is smart, her love for you is deep in her bones. As long as you grasp the right measure, you will be able to make her work for you."

Chu Qirui hesitated for a moment, nodded, and made up his mind. He turned to the window and looked at the bright moon in the night sky, thinking.

The masked woman smiled slightly, with a hint of expectation in her eyes: "Young Marquis, I wish you immediate success."
