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

Jiang Yuqi looked at Chu Qirui's face and her expression softened. "Young Marquis, do you know that my family is looking for a marriage for me?"

Jiang Yuqi's voice was soft and expectant, and tears flashed in her eyes, as if she was seeking Chu Qirui's comfort. Chu Qirui was slightly stunned, then concealed his surprise and slowly stood up.

"Ms. Jiang, the arrangements at home are naturally for your own good." Chu Qirui's voice was calm, but with a hint of imperceptible indifference.

Jiang Yuqi bit her lip lightly, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, she took a step forward, almost face to face with Chu Qirui: "But I only have the young marquis in my heart, I don't want to be with others, I only want to spend my life with the young marquis."

Chu Qirui's expression changed slightly. He looked at Jiang Yuqi deeply and sighed in his heart.

Jiang Yuqi's feelings were sincere, but his purpose was not pure. He gently brushed the teacup on the table and said lightly: "Miss Jiang, you misunderstood. I was just discussing some matters with this friend, not what you think."

Jiang Yuqi frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt and distrust in her eyes. She looked at Chu Qirui, then at the masked woman, and couldn't help but feel suspicious. But her pride made her unwilling to back down at this time, so she took a deep breath and tried to make herself look more determined.

"Young Marquis, I don't believe it. Every time you see me, you are always in a hurry. Today you are alone with a woman here. How can I not misunderstand?" Jiang Yuqi's voice trembled a little. Tears welled up in her eyes, making her look pitiful.

Chu Qirui's heart tightened, and he gently pulled over a chair, motioning Jiang Yuqi to sit down, and then slowly said: "Miss Jiang, I do have some things to deal with, but this does not mean that my feelings for you have changed. You are the most important person in my heart, how can I forget you?"

When Jiang Yuqi heard this, the anger and jealousy in her heart slowly dissipated, replaced by a hint of sweetness and peace of mind. She sat down, and Chu Qirui poured her a cup of tea. She took a sip, and the tears in her eyes finally couldn't help falling.

"Young Marquis, I...I'm just worried about losing you." Jiang Yuqi's voice was choked with sobs.

Chu Qirui patted Jiang Yuqi's hand gently and said softly, "Miss Jiang, don't worry, I won't leave you alone. I will find a suitable time to express my feelings to my family."

Jiang Yuqi was delighted when she heard this. She held Chu Qirui's hand tightly, with hope in her eyes: "Really? Young Marquis, are you willing to do this for me?"

Chu Qirui smiled slightly, and he had to be more careful in weaving this lie. He nodded and patted Jiang Yuqi's hair gently, as if he was treating a beloved pet: "Of course, for you, I am willing to do anything."

The masked woman watched all this quietly in the corner, a satisfied smile flashed in her eyes.

Chu Qirui has completely controlled Jiang Yuqi's heart. Next, he just needs to act according to the plan.

.......

"Young Marquis, you...you were having a secret meeting with someone?" There were obvious red lip marks on the teacup that Jiang Yuqi picked up.

Chu Qirui looked a little embarrassed, but then he cleared his throat and said, "Jiang Yuqi, since you have discovered it, I won't hide it. I do have a confidante."

Jiang Yuqi's face turned pale in an instant, her hands trembled slightly, and the tea in the cup spilled on the table, forming a watermark. Her eyes were like knives, staring at Chu Qirui closely, as if she wanted to see a trace of truth in his eyes.

"A confidante?" Jiang Yuqi's voice was cold. She bit her lips hard, trying to control her emotions. "Young Marquis, I always thought you treated me differently. It turns out that I am just one of your many confidantes."

Chu Qirui looked at Jiang Yuqi's painful expression, and a trace of guilt surged in his heart. He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound more firm: "Jiang Yuqi, my feelings for you are sincere, but there are some things I must do. This confidante is just a tool for me to achieve my goal."

Jiang Yuqi heard this, a flash of despair flashed in her eyes, she put the teacup on the table with force, making a crisp sound. Her eyes became empty, as if they had lost all their light.

"Tool?" She repeated the word, her voice filled with endless sadness, "Young Marquis, do you really regard me as a tool?"

Chu Qirui felt a pain in his heart. His words had deeply hurt Jiang Yuqi. But he had no way out, so he could only bite the bullet and continue: "Jiang Yuqi, I don't want to hurt you, but I have my mission and things I must do. I hope you can understand me."

Jiang Yuqi smiled softly, her smile was full of bitterness and helplessness. She shook her head softly: "Young Marquis, I always thought I was a smart person, but it turns out that I didn't even know that the person I loved was fake. I am so stupid."

Chu Qirui looked at Jiang Yuqi, an impulse surged in his heart. He wanted to explain and tell her his true purpose.

But now was not the time. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself.

"Jiang Yuqi, I..." Chu Qirui was interrupted by Jiang Yuqi before he could finish his words.

Jiang Yuqi raised her head and looked at Chu Qirui firmly. Although her voice was low, it was full of determination: "Young Marquis, there is no need to say more. I know what you are thinking and what your purpose is. I am willing to help you, but I also hope that you can understand that my heart is true."

Chu Qirui looked at Jiang Yuqi and his heart was moved.

"Jiang Yuqi, I understand your heart, but I must tell you that everything I have done is for the Chongren Marquisate and for the Western Wei Dynasty. I can't give up my mission, nor can I respond to your feelings." Chu Qirui's voice was low and full of endless guilt.

Jiang Yuqi smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Young Marquis, I understand. I will help you and wait for you. As long as you say it, I am willing to do anything."

...........

Lu Yundi had just finished dinner when her mother-in-law Yu and sister-in-law Jiang Yuqi walked in angrily.

"Lu Yundi, what do you mean? For dinner today, there are only three dishes and one soup. Among the three dishes, there is only one meatball. You just took over the family, and you've already started to skimp on the kitchen like this?"

When Lu Yundi heard this, her eyes narrowed slightly. She put down the teacup in her hand, slowly stood up, and faced the questioning of her mother-in-law Yu and sister-in-law Jiang Yuqi with a smile on her face.

"Mother-in-law, Sister Yuqi, you have misunderstood. The reason why I simplified the three meals a day in our house is not to cut costs for the kitchen, but to save food and reduce waste." Lu Yundi said in a calm tone, neither humble nor arrogant.

Yu frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Save food? When did it become your turn to make irresponsible remarks in this mansion? You are just a new daughter-in-law, and you dare to control us old people?"
