Ye Wanxue's face flushed, and she forced a smile and said, "Madam, I know I'm new here and may not understand some of the rules, but I really came here to pay my respects."

Lu Yundi looked at Ye Wanxue with a hint of doubt in her eyes. She knew that Ye Wanxue's coming must have a purpose.

"In that case, come in." Lu Yundi said.

Ye Wanxue followed Lu Yundi into the room, and Nanny Hu also followed in and closed the door carefully.

The atmosphere in the room was a little tense. Lu Yundi sat in the main seat, while Ye Wanxue stood aside with her head lowered.

"Miss Ye, you're new here and may not understand the rules here. But I want to remind you that this is the Zhenxing Marquis Mansion, not a place where you can do whatever you want." Lu Yundi said coldly.

Ye Wanxue raised her head and looked at Lu Yundi, a hint of stubbornness flashing in her eyes.

"Madam, I know I am just a concubine, but I also have my dignity. I will not bow down to you because of your status." Ye Wanxue said.

Lu Yundi's face darkened. She didn't expect Ye Wanxue to contradict her so directly.

"You..." Lu Yundi pointed at Ye Wanxue but couldn't speak.

Upon seeing this, Madam Hu stepped forward and tried to smooth things over, saying, "Madam, Miss Ye, calm down. Miss Ye has just arrived and may not understand the rules here. We will slowly teach her."

Lu Yundi looked at Ye Wanxue coldly and finally said nothing. She knew that Ye Wanxue's appearance would bring her endless troubles.

Lu Yundi was silent for a moment, and the anger in her eyes was gradually replaced by calmness. She took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Madame Hu is right. When you first arrive, you need to adapt. Miss Ye, since you are here to pay your respects, then please do so."

Ye Wanxue was slightly startled, then bowed her head and saluted respectfully. Aunt Hu watched from the side and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After the ceremony, Ye Wanxue looked up, with a barely perceptible smugness in her eyes. She seemed to be hinting that she had successfully broken the rules set by the Madam.

Lu Yundi naturally saw this. She calmly picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and then slowly put it down.

"Miss Ye, since you have already paid your respects, please leave. There are still many things to deal with here, so you cannot stay for long." Lu Yundi said in a flat tone.

Ye Wanxue's face changed slightly. She didn't expect Lu Yundi to send her away so easily. But she quickly concealed her disappointment, smiled lightly, and turned away.

Aunt Hu looked at Ye Wanxue's back and couldn't help but feel deeply moved. She knew that this new Miss Ye would definitely not give up.

After Ye Wanxue left, Lu Yundi finally couldn't help but ask, "Madam Hu, what kind of person do you think Ye Wanxue is?"

Madam Hu pondered for a while before slowly saying, "Madam, in my opinion, Miss Ye is very ambitious and must not be a simple person. But we can't take it lightly. After all, she is the Marquis's new concubine, and we can't let her cause too much trouble in the mansion."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly; she already had a plan in mind.

......

Jiang Lili said to Jiang Jilian pitifully, "Dad, I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince several times. It is because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes me that others are jealous of me and framed me. Can you let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come to see me?"

"Nonsense!" Jiang Jilian glared at her.

Jiang Lili shrank her neck at the glare from her father, but she remained unyielding: "Dad, I really didn't do anything wrong, I just want to be innocent."

Jiang Jilian looked at his daughter's pitiful appearance, and his heart softened a little, but he still said seriously: "Li Li, you are the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Zhenxing. Your behavior represents not only yourself, but also our entire Marquis of Zhenxing Mansion. In the palace, you should be more careful in what you say and do, and don't offend people easily."

"But Dad, I haven't offended anyone, they just can't bear to see me do well." Jiang Lili bit her lip, tears in her eyes.

Jiang Jilian sighed. He knew his daughter's character. She had always been gentle and weak, and never took the initiative to cause trouble. Now she was framed, so it was no wonder that she felt so wronged. He looked at his daughter and slowed down his tone: "You go back first, I will ask someone to investigate this matter."

When Jiang Lili heard this, her eyes lit up and she nodded hurriedly: "Thank you, Dad."

Jiang Jilian frowned as he watched his daughter leave. He knew that this matter involved the crown prince, and if it was not handled properly, it would affect Jiang Lili and even the entire Zhenxing Marquisate.

At the same time, Princess Ning Yi also got the news. She walked quickly into Jiang Lili's room. Seeing Jiang Lili's red eyes, she asked distressedly, "Lili, are you okay?"

When Jiang Lili saw Princess Ning Yi, she couldn't help but throw herself into her arms and burst into tears: "Princess, I've been framed, what should I do?"

Princess Ning Yi stroked Jiang Lili's back and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I will help you find a solution."

Jiang Lili raised her head, tears still in her eyes: "Sister Yi, can you help me get the Crown Prince to come and see me? I want him to know that I was wronged."

Princess Ning Yi hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I'll give it a try."

Princess Ning Yi looked at Jiang Lili's pitiful appearance, and her heart softened a little. She knew that Jiang Lili had a gentle personality and never took the initiative to cause trouble. She was innocent in being framed this time. She looked at Jiang Lili and said softly, "Lili, don't worry, I will do my best to help you."

When Jiang Lili heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes. She held Princess Ning Yi's hand tightly and said gratefully, "Princess, thank you."

Princess Ning Yi looked at Jiang Lili and smiled slightly, then she turned and left to look for the prince.

In the hall of the Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion, Jiang Jilian was discussing with several staff members how to deal with this matter. He frowned and looked serious. He knew that this matter involved the crown prince. If it was not handled properly, it might have an impact on Jiang Lili and even the entire Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion.

At this moment, Princess Ning Yi walked in quickly. She looked at Jiang Jilian, bowed slightly, and then said directly: "My Lord, I want to help Li Li."

Jiang Jilian looked at Princess Ning Yi, was slightly stunned, and then asked: "Princess, what advice do you have?"

Princess Ning Yi looked at Jiang Jilian and said firmly, "I want His Royal Highness to come and see Li Li so that she can have a chance to explain."

Jiang Jilian hesitated for a moment. He knew the relationship between Princess Ning Yi and the Crown Prince. If she asked, the Crown Prince would probably buy in. He looked at Princess Ning Yi and smiled slightly: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Princess."

When Princess Ning Yi heard this, she smiled slightly, turned around and left to look for the prince.

In the prince's palace, Princess Ning Yi looked at the prince and said directly: "Your Highness, the eldest daughter of Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion, Jiang Lili, was framed and she feels wronged."

The prince looked at Princess Ning Yi, was slightly stunned, and then asked: "Why does the princess know this?"
