The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Yang Qi's deliberate words were definitely an eye-opener.

After returning home, Yang Qi stayed in the lakeside courtyard reading, but Xu was not in that mood.

At Shi'an Court, Fang's mother said worriedly, "Madam, although what the Third Miss said today was unintentional, what she said is not without reason."

Mrs. Xu had a gloomy face, and Mother Fang continued worriedly, "An Xiaoqiu is a person with evil intentions. The young master has been buried in books since he was young, and I'm afraid he can't see clearly what's going on in the backyard. What if..." If An Xiaoqiu harms the young master, our family will be killed by Mrs. An and An Xiaoqiu.

Yang Qi's "unintentional words" did ring a bell for Xu. Didn't An become the legal wife of her eldest uncle by some despicable means? There was no guarantee that those people would not follow suit and use these despicable tricks on their eldest son.

After thinking for a long time, Xu finally said, "Prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I want to write a letter to Brother Qing."

Hearing what Xu said, Mother Fang replied happily, "Yes, ma'am." Mother Fang grew up with Xu. Over the years, she has been wholeheartedly devoted to Xu and her two brothers.

A few years ago, when Yang Qi had smallpox, Fang Mama also caught a cold and was recuperating at her husband's farm. At that time, it was Tian Mama who was with Xu. If Fang Mama was with Xu at that time, Yang Qi would not have been neglected by the kitchen.

As soon as Yang Lan returned home, she was called over by the old lady.

As soon as they arrived at the upper room, the old lady asked, "How did the sixth girl and the young lady from the An family perform today?"

Yang Lan hesitated for a while. Having followed her grandmother for so many years, she knew what happened today. If she didn't tell her, the old lady would know it too: "Grandmother, my sixth sister just came back from her post outside with my father, and she doesn't know many rules. Fortunately, my sixth sister didn't make any big mistakes in the Han Mansion today."

The old lady held the Buddhist beads in her hand. She didn't make a big mistake, but she made small mistakes all the time. Yang Jing was not good-looking. If she didn't have a good reputation now, I'm afraid her future husband's family wouldn't be a good one.

The old lady stopped turning the Buddhist beads and said, "Lady Lan, you are tired today. Let's go to Qinfang Courtyard and rest for a while."

Yang Lan knew from the old lady's words that she wanted him to get out of the way because her grandmother had something to do.

When Yang Lan left the yard, the old lady said to Rong Mama, "Go to the main room and invite the Duke over, and tell him I have something to tell him."

Yang Qi couldn't hear what the old lady said to Song Hongwen, but she knew that Song Hongwen didn't look happy when he walked out of the upper room.

There is no need to guess like that. The old lady spoke and Song Hongwen had a stern face again. I think it must be about An and Yang Jing.

Sure enough, as soon as Song Hongwen returned to the main house, he called An and Yang Jing over: "Yang Jing is six years old now. At Yang Lan's age, he has been studying with Mr. Yang and the governess for many years."

An knew that the old lady had called the Duke to the upper room, and she secretly thought it was not good, but the words of the Duke touched An's heart, and she quickly said, "Duke, it is my fault. In the northwest, I found the best teacher and nurse, but they are far inferior to the capital."

An's pitiful expression made Song Hongwen's anger dissipate a lot. Over the years, this trick of An has always worked.

Seeing the Duke's expression relax slightly, An said further: "Duke, it is because of my good fortune that Yang Jing and I were not able to catch up with Mr. Yang in the mansion. If Sister Jing could learn from Mr. Yang, her future marriage would be more secure."

Song Hongwen listened to what An said and continued, "What does this have to do with you and Sister Jing? We were in the northwest at the time, so we were naturally out of reach of what was happening in the capital. Besides, Sister Jing was only one year old at the time, so how could she study with Mr. Yang?"

An nodded, tears welling up in her eyes. "Thanks to the Duke's understanding, Mr. Yang is a famous teacher in the Tianyuan Dynasty. We are lucky to have two girls studying with him. I think the second and third girls have learned the essence of the art after studying with him for so many years. If we can let Sister Jing study with the two sisters, I think she will learn better."

Song Hongwen hesitated for a while: "You mean, let Jing Jie learn from Lan Er and Yang Qi."

An looked at Song Hongwen with tears in her eyes: "The sisters in the Duke's Mansion share honor and disgrace. If Sister Jing can have the title of Mr. Yang's disciple, then there will be no need to worry about her reputation in the inner courtyard in the future. Moreover, if the Duke's three daughters are all under Mr. Yang's name, it will definitely be a good story."

An was very smart and knew that if she asked Yang Lan to teach Yang Jing directly, Song Hongwen and the old lady would definitely not agree. But if she used the title of Mr. Yang's disciple to seduce the Duke, then there would be hope for this matter.

Although Yang Lan's teaching of Yang Jing was not as good as Mr. Yang's direct teaching, An knew that the arrangement made by the Duke of Song's Mansion for Yang Lan was not simple, and in the future Yang Lan would at least be the prince's consort.

If Yang Jing could grow up with Yang Lan, one day, when Yang Lan becomes successful, Yang Jing would also be able to benefit from it.

An had been trying to seduce Song Hongwen. Under the temptation of having all three daughters become Yang's disciples at the same time, Song Hongwen agreed: "Come here, call the second and third young ladies over. I will tell them about this in person."

After hearing what Song Hongwen said, Yang Lan and Yang Qi were a little surprised. After looking at each other, Yang Lan said, "Dad, do you want me to teach my sixth sister?"

Song Hongwen looked at Yang Lan with approval and nodded. Yang Lan had been his lucky star since she was born. Not only did she win over the Yongyi Marquis Mansion, but her career was also smooth. Therefore, Song Hongwen had always favored this daughter.

Yang Qi added, "Dad, my second sister and I are not teachers, and we have no experience in teaching. I'm afraid we won't be able to teach Sixth Sister well, and instead delay Sixth Sister's education."

Hearing Yang Qi's rebuttal, Song Hongwen was very unhappy: "I'm not asking you to be a tutor. We have just returned to the capital, how can we find a suitable tutor right away? Just tell your sixth sister what Mr. Yang taught her before. Your sixth sister has been smart since she was a child, she can understand it."

Seeing her father speaking stiffly about Yang Qi, Yang Lan felt a little uncomfortable. Not to mention that Yang Qi and she had grown up together and were classmates, what Yang Qi had just said was exactly what Yang Lan was thinking, but her father was so resolute that there was no room for rebuttal. Yang Lan had no choice but to nod: "Dad, my third sister and I will teach my sixth sister carefully."
