The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Zong Yue sent a letter back from Xihu, and the servant of Guangming Pharmacy hurriedly delivered the letter to the Duke's Mansion. Mother He also delivered the letter to Yang Qi as quickly as possible.

After opening the letter and deciphering it with the secret code, Yang Qi's eyes widened. He confirmed it again before putting the letter down. The Duke of England was actually poisoned!

Zong Yue stated in the letter that he was extremely cautious in the dosage behind the scenes, and it must be done by an expert. The daily pulse did not show any changes, or the Duke of England had symptoms of drowsiness recently. Zong Yue made a careful diagnosis and only discovered the abnormality after using acupuncture.

However, Zong Yue did not dare to make a decision on this matter on his own. He just said it in front of Duke Ying that the symptoms were a bit strange and he needed some time to think about it carefully.

Picking up the letter and reading it again, Yang Qi confirmed again and again that he had not missed any information before putting the paper on the fire.

Although Yang Qi and Zong Yue used code words in their correspondence, the frequency of their correspondence was so high that if someone with ulterior motives saw them, the secrets might be exposed. Therefore, burning them afterwards was the safest option.

Looking at Mother He, Yang Qi said, "Mom, go out first and give the order. I'm feeling a little unwell. Don't disturb me unless it's an emergency."

Yang Qi needs some time to think carefully about what happened today.

Mother He stepped back in response.

After a long time, Yang Qi finally spoke from inside the house: "Mother He, let's go to the main house."

When An heard that Yang Qi had come to look for her, she was very arrogant. After hearing Yang Qi's reason, she suddenly put the teacup in her hand on the table and said, "What? You want to leave the house?"

An's show of power had no effect on Yang Qi: "Mother, I have a shop outside, and I'm going to check it out today as usual. Grandmother taught us since we were young that we should check our property regularly. Mother is from an imperial merchant family, so I think you should understand these principles better."

An snorted in annoyance: "I just said one sentence, and you have so many words waiting for me." When she thought of her precious daughter suffering in the ancestral temple, An became furious, and she became more and more angry as she looked at Yang Qi.

The maid who was sent over said that this ancestral hall was leaking everywhere, and Sister Jing had just fallen into the water, and it was unknown whether her little body could survive three days.

Yang Qi stood still and did not follow An's words: "Mother, since I took over this shop, I have been checking it regularly. If I stop suddenly, I'm afraid the people below will have other ideas."

Mrs. An didn't respond. Mother Jin looked at the situation in the room and said, "Madam, it's time to take the medicine. The doctor said that you must take the medicine on time for your illness, otherwise your body may not be able to hold on."

Yang Qi stared at An and said, "Since mother is not feeling well, I will not bother you anymore. As for leaving the house, it is the same if I ask daddy. Besides, mother is so weak, I will definitely invite daddy to come and ask him to help mother share the burden on weekdays."

This girl was hinting that if she didn't agree to this matter, she should go outside and say that she, the mistress of the house, was incapable of managing the family. However, these two girls were always patient, so why did Yang Qi insist on going out?

An rubbed her temples with her hands: "Forget it, you are old now, and you have your own opinions on these matters. If you want to go, then go ahead."

Having achieved her goal, Yang Qi did not waste any more words in the main room. She bowed, said "Mother, please give me your word. I will leave first," and then went back leisurely with He's mother.

Looking at Yang Qi's back, An's eyes sparkled: "Mother Jin, ask two smart people to follow Yang Qi's carriage and see where this girl is going. Oh, and don't wear the clothes of the Duke's Mansion, so as not to be discovered."

When Mother Jin heard An's instructions, she immediately went down to do it.

After getting permission from the mistress of the house, Mother He informed Song Hao to harness the carriage.

Song Hao performed very well in Han Mansion and Bibo Lane that day, and then stayed to work for Yang Qi. On weekdays, Song Hao was also in charge of the affairs of Yang Qi's farm.

Along the way, every time Song Hao looked back, he could see two sneaky women following him. As soon as he turned his head, they stopped, but he could still see them the next time.

Thinking of his father Song Ri's teachings, Song Hao slowed down the carriage and said to the young lady in the carriage: "Young lady, there are two people following us today."

Hearing this, Mother He quickly opened the curtain and bumped into the maid in the main room who was walking with her head raised: "Miss, she is the maid beside the Madam. She is not a close servant, but only does rough work in the back. I saw her before when I went to the main room."

Yang Qi nodded and pulled Mother He back: "Don't worry about them, just do your own thing. I rashly proposed to leave the house today, so it is reasonable for mother to send someone to follow me."

Arriving at Guangming Hall, Yang Qi got off the carriage and looked at the pancake shop nearby: "Mother He, I'm a little hungry."

Mother He and Song Hao told her to take good care of the young lady, and then lined up in front of the pancake shop. There were many wealthy families in the capital, and no one knew who was behind anyone. In a place like Caoshi where all kinds of people mixed together, it was better to be careful.

Yang Qi took advantage of this time to look at the direction of the two maids, staring at them intently.

In order to prevent Yang Qi from recognizing her, Jin's mother specially chose a maid who was helping in the kitchen at the back. But the maid was not smart and it was her first time doing such things, so she was immediately discovered by Song Hao and He's mother.

The maid who looked younger pretended to be selecting jewelry in front of the jewelry stall and secretly observed Yang Qi, but she found that the Third Miss was staring at her. She panicked: "Good sister, I see that the Third Miss has been looking in our direction. We won't be discovered, will we?"

The older maids were calmer: "Don't be afraid, we have the madam's orders to keep an eye on the Third Miss. If the Third Miss really finds out, we still have the madam to support us! Don't be afraid!" Although they said so, if the older maids' hands could stop shaking so badly, their words would be more convincing.

The younger maid swallowed her saliva and said, "Good sister, you are awesome. I can't think of these things. So what should we do now? Should we go to the medicine shop and guard it directly?"

The older maid said seriously, "Mother Jin said that we must not be discovered by the Third Miss. If we go directly to the medicine store, wouldn't that be a clear warning to the Third Miss? We will be guarding the store entrance."

The owner of the jewelry store watched the two people mess up the jewelry on the stall and had no intention of buying anything: "Ladies, if you don't want to buy anything, please don't block me here. I am also a small business owner. If you stand here like this, I won't be able to do any business today."

The two men then realized that they had messed up the boss's stall. The younger one felt a little embarrassed: "Sorry, shop owner, we are disturbing you."
