The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Yuan Ruiyuan handled the poisoning of General Huo from the British Palace very well, and he also followed the clues to catch more than a dozen secret guards that Yuan Ruiyin had planted in Xihu.

Unfortunately, most of these people had medicine in their mouths, and when they knew their secret was exposed, they immediately committed suicide by taking poison.

However, Yang Qi had no idea how many people Yuan Ruiyuan had left behind in this operation and what they knew.

After burning the letter from Xi Hu, Yang Qi was in a good mood. Under Zong Yue's careful treatment, General Huo's poison had been completely cleared.

Fortunately, it was discovered early and General Huo was not seriously poisoned. If it had been discovered later, even Hua Tuo would have been unable to save him.

General Huo was drugged without anyone noticing in his mansion, which sounded a great alarm for Mrs. Huo and the two young masters of the Huo family. For a time, a major purge took place in the Duke of Ying's mansion.

In early November, Yang Lan's grandmother, the wife of the Marquis of Yongyi, Mrs. Feng's birthday came. This was Mrs. Feng's sixtieth birthday, and it was different from the usual birthday banquet.

The Feng family of Marquis Yongyi invited all their close friends, and the Duke of Song's family, as their in-laws, were naturally among them.

The entire Duke Song's family attended the Feng family's birthday banquet this time, even the old lady went.

The four young ladies in the mansion and An Xiaoqiu all dressed up for the occasion.

All of Yang Qi's clothes and headgear were bought by Xu. Over the years, many of Xu's jewelry ended up in Yang Qi's box, and someone with ulterior motives even exaggerated the story and told it to Yang Qing and Yang Yao.

Fortunately, Yangqing, Yangqi and Yangyao have a good relationship, and neither Yangqing nor Yangyao cares about money or other material things. The protagonists don't care, so these rumors are naturally broken.

When Song Hongwen first returned to the capital, these rumors spread again in the mansion. It was the old lady who ordered a few gossipers to be sold to the farm, and only then did the gossip cease.

An Xiaoqiu put a lot of effort into preparing for this banquet. Every item from head to toe was carefully selected.

On the way to the upper house, Yang Qi happened to meet Yang Lan who was about to go out. Looking at the box in Yu Lu's hand, Yang Qi smiled and said, "Second sister, this is the gift you prepared for grandmother." Yang Lan spent a lot of thought on this gift and started preparing it the year before last.

Yang Lan nodded. Today, Yang Lan was wearing a light red dress, looking as light as a dance.

Yang Qi smiled and covered her mouth: "Second sister, you look really good in this red dress today."

Looking at Yang Qi's smile, Yang Lan knew that his third sister had no good intentions at the moment. However, there were many servants on the road, so Yang Lan couldn't ask questions here.

When they got to the upper room, the old lady wore brightly colored clothes for a rare time, and she looked much more energetic than usual.

As usual, Yang Qi took Xu's carriage to the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion.

On the way, Xu suddenly asked, "Yang Qi, what do you think if I arrange a marriage for your eldest brother now?"

Although the appearance of Xu's carriage was not the most outstanding in the Duke's Mansion, the items inside were very complete.

Yang Qi took out a teapot and cups from the side compartment and poured a cup for Xu and himself.

Before Yang Qi had even finished her tea, Xu asked, almost choking Yang Qi: "Ahem, aunt, what did you say?"

Xu patted Yang Qi on the back and said, "Yang Qi, I know it's inappropriate to discuss this with you, but I'm worried as long as Yang Qing's matter is not settled."

Yang Qi held Xu's hand and said, "Aunt, I know what you are worried about, but we can't be scared by things that haven't happened yet. My eldest brother hasn't passed the imperial examination yet, so the number of wives he can choose from is limited. No matter how anxious we are, we have to wait until he passes the imperial examination before we can talk about marriage."

Looking at Xu who was frowning the whole time, Yang Qi knew that she was frightened by An Xiaoqiu's incident.

Yang Qi hurried forward and took Xu's hand, resting her little head on Xu's shoulder, and said mischievously: "Big brother is so outstanding, I'm afraid he will charm a lot of girls in the future. If you start to worry now, won't you worry about everything in the future?"

Yang Qi's words were a bit shameless, but they really worked. Xu immediately laughed: "You, you always just know how to make me happy."

Mother Fang and Xin Che followed outside the carriage this time. Hearing Xu's hearty laughter in the carriage, Mother Fang was relieved. Because of the cousin's matter, the lady had recently thought about arranging a marriage for the eldest young master. Fortunately, the third young lady had a way to make the lady happy and persuade her to give up this idea.

Xinche was the calmest among Yangqi's three maids. Nanny Zhu and Mama He also taught Xinche their skills. Now, Xinche has become the most capable maid by Yangqi's side.

When they arrived at the Marquis Yongyi's mansion, Old Madam Feng was wearing a dark red longevity jacket and sitting on the front chair with a smile on her face. There were many women in gorgeous clothes around her, talking to her.

Old Madam Song brought Yang Lan, Yang Qi and the others into the house and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Madam Feng looked at Madam Song and said happily, "You are finally here."

Madam Song stepped forward and took Madam Feng's hand. A woman had already made room for her: "Happy birthday, dear sister-in-law!"

After Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Song exchanged greetings, Mrs. Feng looked at Yang Lan and his group and said happily, "Good children, all of them are good children. I have prepared a lot of food and fun things for today."

Yang Lan, along with Yang Qi and his party, knelt down and kowtowed to Old Madam Feng, saying loudly, "I wish Grandmother a life as long as the Southern Mountains and a life as blessed as the East Sea."

Old Madam Feng was happy to see Yang Lan, and hurriedly asked the children to get up: "Okay, okay, okay, get up quickly, Lan girl, you come too."

Yang Lan stepped forward and presented her gift: "Grandma, this is the gift Yang Lan prepared for you."

As soon as Madam Feng opened the box, the ladies around her gathered around.

The gift prepared by Yang Lan was a statue of Guanyin carved from white jade. The value of this Guanyin statue lies in the fact that it was carved by Master Liao Tong himself.

The lady at the side looked at the Guanyin statue and liked it very much: "Second Miss Song is really filial to you. This Guanyin statue makes people feel at ease."

Yang Qi added, "In order to prepare this gift for my grandmother, my second sister started preparing it the year before last. She first sent people to look for the raw materials, and then she personally found Master Tong. It took her a year to complete it."

Master Liaotong was extremely famous in the Tianyuan Dynasty, and everyone present knew it. As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room became interested, and everyone wanted to see the master's handiwork.

Old Madam Feng pulled Yang Lan and said with a smile: "My granddaughter has always been very filial."

Yang Lan gave away today a priceless gift, the Guanyin carved by Master Tong himself. He must have prepared a gift for his grandmother's sixtieth birthday. However, it is not easy to find something as good as this Guanyin.
