Chapter 151 Relatives
When Lu Yundi woke up, it was already noon.
I heard someone talking outside.
Lu Yundi slowly opened her eyes, the sunlight shone through the window onto her face, reflecting a hint of haggardness.
She sat up, still feeling a little dizzy. The voices outside gradually became clearer, and she listened quietly, with a hint of doubt on her face.
She straightened her clothes, walked to the window and opened the curtains. She saw the servants of the Yan Mansion busy at work, with happy smiles on their faces.
Lu Yundi frowned slightly, feeling uneasy.
"Madam, you're awake." Xiang Zhu walked in with a bowl of freshly stewed bird's nest in his hand.
"Well, what happened outside? Why are everyone so happy?" Lu Yundi took the bird's nest and asked softly.
"Madam, today is the grand celebration of the Yan Mansion, and everyone in the mansion is busy preparing." Xiang Zhu replied with a smile.
A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes. She put down the bird's nest, walked to the mirror and tidied her hair.
"Please ask the eldest lady to come over. I have something to ask her." Lu Yundi ordered.
The maid took the order and left. After a while, the eldest lady of the Yan Mansion came in. She was wearing a gorgeous dress and her face was filled with a happy smile.
"Sister, are you awake? Are you feeling unwell?" the eldest lady asked with concern.
"Sister, I'm fine. I just want to ask, why is such a grand celebration being held in the mansion today?" Lu Yundi asked directly.
The eldest lady smiled slightly, walked to Lu Yundi, and gently held her hand: "Sister, don't you know? Today is the prince's wedding day."
Lu Yundi's eyes widened. She didn't expect that she had forgotten this important event. She thought of her relationship with Prince Yan, and she couldn't help but feel excited.
"Sister, this is a big deal and I actually forgot about it. I have to go get ready and not be rude." Lu Yundi said hurriedly.
The eldest lady smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, sister. I have already told the servants to get everything ready. As long as you say the word, we can set off at any time."
As they talked, the atmosphere in the Yan Mansion became more festive.
Lu Yundi and the first lady arrived at the celebration site together, only to see the mansion decorated with lights and full of joy.
Prince Yan Canglan was dressed in a red robe and looked radiant, while his bride was his childhood sweetheart, the beautiful Li Ruolan.
At the celebration, Lu Yundi and others sat at the top. She looked at the happy appearance of Yan Canglan and Li Ruolan, feeling both relieved and emotional.
At this time, Yan Canglan suddenly walked up to Lu Yundi, knelt on one knee, and held an exquisite box in both hands.
"Mother, this is a gift from me to you. Please accept it." Yan Canglan said respectfully.
Lu Yundi was slightly stunned, then took the box and opened it, and found a beautiful jade pendant inside. She was touched, because she had given this jade pendant to Yan Canglan, and she didn't expect that he had kept it until now.
"Good boy, you have grown up and know how to be filial." Lu Yundi gently stroked Yan Canglan's hair, his eyes full of satisfaction.
Yan Canglan stood up and returned to Li Ruolan, and the two of them toasted Lu Yundi and the first lady together.
……
"Madam, are you awake?" Xiang Zhu's voice came from outside the door.
"Well, Xiangzhu, come in." Lu Yundi responded.
Xiang Zhu gently pushed the door open and saw Lu Yundi standing in front of the window, so he smiled and said, "Madam, you are here so early. Everyone outside is almost done with their meal."
Lu Yundi smiled and said, "I went to bed a little late, and now I feel much better. Go tell the eldest lady that I am awake and I will go to pay my respects to her later."
"Yes, ma'am." Xiang Zhu responded and was about to leave, but turned back and said, "By the way, ma'am, there is a guest coming to your house today. He is a distant relative of your eldest lady. I heard he is a very talented young man."
Lu Yundi frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows and said, "I see. Go ahead and get busy."
After Xiang Zhu left, Lu Yundi sat in front of the dressing table and began to fix her appearance. She looked at herself in the mirror, her thoughts drifting far away.
Soon, Lu Yundi arrived at the residence of the eldest lady, only to see the eldest lady sitting in the hall, chatting with several other ladies. Seeing Lu Yundi coming in, the eldest lady hurriedly stood up to greet him.
"Sister, you're awake. Are you okay?" the eldest lady asked with concern.
Lu Yundi smiled slightly and said, "Sister, I'm fine, I just slept a little late last night."
The eldest lady nodded and said, "Sister, a guest is coming today. He is a distant relative of the eldest lady. I am worried that you will not be used to it, so I specially remind you."
Lu Yundi's heart moved, and she smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister, I will treat this guest well."
The first lady and other ladies praised Lu Yundi for her tactfulness, and the atmosphere became harmonious. At this time, footsteps were heard outside, and a young man in gorgeous clothes walked in.
"Cousin, you're here." The eldest lady hurriedly stood up to greet him.
The young man greeted the first lady and other ladies with a smile, and then his eyes fell on Lu Yundi.
"Is this Mrs. Lu? I've heard a lot about you." The young master said with a smile.
Lu Yundi bowed slightly and said, "I dare not, you are too polite, sir."
After the young master sat down, he chatted with the first lady and other ladies about family matters. Lu Yundi listened quietly, occasionally interrupting, but always smiling.
During the conversation, the young master's eyes swept over Lu Yundi from time to time, which made her feel a little uneasy. She couldn't help but think of the identity of that distant relative, and her curiosity grew.
"Madam, haven't you rested yet?" Xiang Zhu asked.
Lu Yundi turned around and smiled, "It's okay, I'm just thinking about something here. Xiang Zhu, do you know the origin of that young master?"
Xiang Zhu hesitated for a moment and said, "Madam, I heard from the servants that this young man is called Li Mo, and he is a distant cousin of the eldest lady. His father is an important official in the court, and his mother is the daughter of a famous family."
Lu Yundi nodded slightly and said, "I see. It seems that this young master is of extraordinary status."
Xiang Zhu said cautiously, "Madam, are you worried that he will harm the Yan Mansion?"
Lu Yundi smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as we are united, nothing will happen to the Yan Mansion. However, the arrival of this young master may bring us some changes."
Xiang Zhu nodded with confidence and said, "Madam, don't worry, I will always keep an eye on this young master's movements."
One day, Li Mo invited Lu Yundi to enjoy the flowers together. Lu Yundi could not refuse, so she agreed.
"Mrs. Lu, I admire your talent." Li Mo praised.
Lu Yundi smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Li, you are too kind. I only know a little bit."
Li Mo looked at Lu Yundi, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and said: "Madam Lu, I have something to ask of you, I wonder if you can agree to it?"
Lu Yundi's heart tightened, and he said, "Mr. Li, please speak."
Li Mo said: "I would like to ask Madam for help, so that I can see the library of Yan Mansion."
Lu Yundi frowned slightly and said, "The library is a forbidden area in our Yan Mansion. No one is allowed to enter unless the eldest lady allows it."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Li Mo's eyes, and he said, "I understand, Madam, there is no need to embarrass yourself."
