The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

An Shi had been repeatedly reprimanded by the old lady these days because of Yang Jing's matter. During this period, apart from paying her respects to the old lady in her courtyard and handling the chores of the Duke's Mansion, An Shi had been staying in the main house obediently.

But as the mistress of the house, An was the first to know about the rumors in the mansion.

Having suffered losses twice before, An Shi did not dare to deal with it immediately this time, so she asked someone to call An Xiaoqiu over first. If she did not understand the cause and effect and directly ordered the maids and servants to shut up, she was afraid that she would cause trouble again.

Of course, the most important thing is that An Xiaoqiu is just a niece, not as good as Yang Jing, a biological daughter. Naturally, An's attitude towards these rumors is different.

An Xiaoqiu had no confidants besides Qiqiao and Bazhen. This morning, Qiqiao and Bazhen stayed by An Xiaoqiu's side, comforting her.

Therefore, until An Shi called people to Fangfei Pavilion, An Xiaoqiu didn't know about the rumors in the mansion. Seeing An Shi's bad face, An Xiaoqiu first thought that her cousin had done something stupid and made her aunt angry again with the old lady.

Mrs. An looked at An Xiaoqiu's innocent face and thought that her niece might not know what had happened. She suppressed her anger and asked Mother Jin to tell An Xiaoqiu all the rumors in the mansion.

After hearing what Mother Jin said, An Xiaoqiu was terrified and at a loss for a moment: "Aunt, I don't know why there are such rumors in the mansion, you have to believe me. I was just taking Bazhen to the mansion for a walk today, and I happened to see my cousin and third cousin. I really didn't ask in advance."

An listened to An Xiaoqiu's words patiently, and she was not sure whether her niece's words were true or not. Ever since she married the Duke, her brother and the family had treated her very well, and they would always respond to her requests. She wanted to follow the Duke back to the capital, and her brother also brought his father and mother to persuade her to take An Xiaoqiu with him.

If An said that she didn't know her brother and the family's intentions, no one would believe it. But An also thought that if An Xiaoqiu could marry into a wealthy family one day, her current actions would also benefit her in the future, so she agreed to take An Xiaoqiu with her.

Now that the Duke has no son, An Xiaoqiu may have the roundabout idea of ​​marrying Yang Qing.

An looked at An Xiaoqiu and hesitated for a while, then could only say: "If you didn't do this on purpose, then you must have been plotted against by someone today."

An Xiaoqiu widened her eyes: "It's Song Yangqi, aunt, it must be Song Yangqi. Ever since we returned home, Song Yangqi has been unfriendly to us. This morning, she was the only one next to my cousin." After all the calculations, the most likely and most motivated person is the third lady Song Yangqi.

An Xiaoqiu's words were completely lies, and he automatically ignored the servants.

After hearing An Xiaoqiu's words, An didn't move.

Seeing this reaction, An Xiaoqiu knew that her aunt did not want to stand up for herself. It had been so long since the incident happened, and if people in the mansion were still talking about it, it was because the mistress in charge of internal affairs did not intervene.

An looked at An Xiaoqiu below, feeling annoyed: "You should be more careful these days, don't leave the yard casually, and stay in Fangfei Pavilion honestly."

After hearing what An said, An Xiaoqiu felt disappointed: "Aunt, if I just hide in the house, wouldn't that be indirectly tacitly agreeing to the rumors in the mansion? By then, the old lady and the Duke will think that I am guilty, and then I will suffer even more grievances." Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. If she lets her aunt's house arrest order become a reality at this time, she will become the biggest joke.

An thought that what An Xiaoqiu said made sense: "Then you should be more careful and don't let others take advantage of you."

After leaving the main house, An Xiaoqiu left angrily. Along the way, An Xiaoqiu could only pretend not to notice the maids and servants pointing and talking.

Bazhen saw that the young lady was not going back to Fangfei Pavilion and asked: "Miss, where are we going now?"

An Xiaoqiu gritted her teeth and said, "Linhu Courtyard." What happened today must have been Yang Qi's doing. Even if Yang Qi didn't push this matter forward, as a party involved in the morning, he was harming himself by acquiescing to the fermentation of this matter.

Bazhen saw that something was wrong with An Xiaoqiu's condition and was extremely nervous. His young lady had never won against the Third Young Lady, not to mention that the young lady was in a very irrational state now. "Miss, the Third Young Lady has never been in a good mood towards us. There are rumors like this today. If we go to Linhu Courtyard, won't they look down on us?"

An Xiaoqiu couldn't listen to these words at this time: "I know my limits."

Bazhen was watching anxiously from behind. Madam had just told the young lady not to cause trouble, and now the young lady had gone to Linhu Courtyard. If she took this trip today, not only would the young lady not achieve her goal, but she would also make Madam unhappy.

When An Xiaoqiu arrived, Yang Qi was reading the medical book she had just bought. When she heard An Xiaoqiu was outside, she was a little surprised: "Mother He, take my cousin to the study and pour some tea. I'll be right there."

The people in Linhu Courtyard had long known about the rumors in the mansion. Nanny Zhu asked from the side, "Miss, are you going to meet him?"

Yang Qi nodded: "If I don't go, I will feel guilty in their eyes."

After changing her clothes and combing her hair, Yang Qi slowly went to the study.

Just when An Xiaoqiu's patience was almost exhausted, she finally saw Yang Qi. As soon as she saw Yang Qi, An Xiaoqiu stared at him intently, trying to find something wrong with him with her own eyes.

Yang Qi was very unhappy with An Xiaoqiu's look: "Cousin, is there something wrong with Yang Qi's outfit?"

An Xiaoqiu sneered: "I just think your clothes are really bright today. Cousin, I remember you didn't wear this before."

Yang Qi thought An Xiaoqiu's question was really stupid: "I wore it to go out this morning, but now I'm just at home, so I should wear whatever is comfortable. Isn't this the rule of the An family?"

Yang Qi's words were a disguised reminder of An Xiaoqiu's background.

An Xiaoqiu gave a fake smile and said, "I just thought my cousin's clothes were all pretty, so I asked."

Yang Qi nodded: "Cousin, are you okay?"

An Xiaoqiu couldn't help but ask, "Cousin, do you know about the rumors in the mansion today?"

Yang Qi looked puzzled: "Cousin, I don't know what you are talking about. But I just returned home today, if it is today's news, I really don't know."

An Xiaoqiu could not see anything unusual on Yang Qi's face, but she was unwilling to go back like this.
