The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Song Hongwen is a scholar, but I didn't expect him to be so good at scolding people. He didn't repeat a single word for half an hour.

Song Hongwen was a little thirsty when he heard Yang Qi's words. He was furious and said, "Get out of here. Go back to your own yard and copy the "Book of Filial Piety" a hundred times."

When Yang Jing heard what her father said, she looked at Yang Qi with a smug look on her face. It was finally your turn to copy. Last time, Yang Qi's clever words got you away with it. It was clearly the fault of this wooden man, but in the end, the old lady actually punished herself. It was really unfair.

Song Hongwen's words also made An Shi feel relieved. These days, An Shi had been restricted in every way, and her prestige in the mansion had not yet been established, and it was rotten from the root.

Yang Qi didn't care about what others thought. He bowed respectfully and left the room.

But he had been kneeling for too long, and when he suddenly stood up, Yang Qi felt that he was shaking in front of him and his legs were trembling.

Holding his breath, Yang Qi was able to leave the house. Fortunately, he had eaten before coming, otherwise he would not even have the strength to stand now.

Xin Che was extremely anxious in the courtyard. The noise in the house was very loud, especially the insults from the Duke, which could be heard clearly in the courtyard. Xin Che wanted to ask the old lady or the second lady for help, but the young lady had clearly anticipated what would happen today and did not warn him. Xin Che did not dare to act for a while, fearing that if he left, the young lady would come out again.

Seeing Yang Qi leave the room, Xin Che hurriedly ran forward and supported Yang Qi: "Miss, Miss, are you okay?"

Yang Qi shook his head imperceptibly: "It's okay, let's go." His legs were weak now, and without Xin Che's support, he really didn't know how to walk back to Linhu Courtyard.

On the way back, they crossed half of the backyard. Yang Qi didn't cry, but the redness and paleness on her face caught the attention of those who were concerned.

Xin Che clenched his fists: "Miss, please take a rest in the pavilion. I will go back and call for help, okay?" Miss's condition is too bad now. She needs to rest immediately, but here is still some distance to Linhu Courtyard.

The young lady is so pitiful. Her mother left when she was born, and she is all alone in the mansion. The old lady favored the second young lady before, and she thought things would get better after the Duke returned, but she didn't expect that the Duke was even more partial than the old lady, and now the young lady is treated worse than before. What happened today was clearly the fault of the sixth young lady and Miss An, and it had nothing to do with the young lady, but in the end it was the young lady who bore the Duke's wrath.

After returning to Linhu Courtyard, Yang Qi locked himself in the study and recited the "Book of Filial Piety" from memory.

Mr. Yang had taught this article from "The Book of Filial Piety" before, so Yang Qi was very familiar with it and could memorize it very quickly.

"Use the way of heaven, share the benefits of earth, be careful with your body and save money, and support your parents. This is the filial piety of the common people. Therefore, from the emperor to the common people, filial piety has no beginning or end, and there is no one who is worried about not being able to do it."

Yang Qi just thought these words were ridiculous. A loving father makes a filial son. Only a loving father can make a filial son. Does Song Hongwen have any father-daughter feelings for her? I'm afraid he just hates that she didn't follow her mother and left him with trouble.

Yang Qi locked himself in the room and didn't let anyone in. Mother He and Nanny Zhu outside were extremely anxious. Xin Che had told them everything that happened in the main room today, and they were just terrified.

Mother He witnessed with her own eyes how ruthlessly Song Hongwen treated his wife, but she never expected that he would treat his own flesh and blood like an enemy.

No matter what the people outside said, Yang Qi never let them in. At this time, Yang Qi just wanted to be alone.

When Yang Qi was a child, whenever he was bullied outside, he would go back to the yard and talk to Mother He, and he would cry when he felt upset.

But now, Yang Qi just wants to be alone, quietly, without any thoughts to express and no good wishes.

After the Yin hour, when the sky was just getting bright, Yang Qi finally came out of the study.

Mother He quickly brought the brown sugar water that was heated on the stove: "Miss, drink some brown sugar water quickly to get rid of the cold."

Yang Qi just felt his head was dizzy, and seeing the bowl handed to him by He's mother, he didn't refuse and drank it all in one gulp.

When Nanny Zhu saw that Yang Qi looked very bad, she quickly helped Yang Qi change into clean and comfortable clothes.

But when she touched Yang Qi's body, Nanny Zhu realized that Yang Qi was extremely hot: "Miss, you have a fever."

Yang Qi blinked and felt that Nanny Zhu in front of him was becoming more and more blurry. Then, everything went dark and he fell down.

Nanny Zhu was quick to pick up Yang Qi. Then, with the help of Mama He, she helped Yang Qi lie down on the bed.

Yang Qi fell ill suddenly, but the people in Linhu Courtyard did not panic.

Mother He felt Yang Qi's pulse and said, "The young lady has a high fever now. We should ask Doctor Bai to come over." Doctor Bai is the exclusive doctor of the Duke's Mansion. Doctor Bai was asked to come because Xu was worried that Yang Qi might have smallpox.

Xin Che said hurriedly: "I will go find the Second Madam now."

Nanny Zhu said quickly, "No, you go find the old lady, Xinyun, you go find the second lady. Xinche, you leave now, Xinyun, come over and help first."

Mother He listened to Nanny Zhu's instructions and looked at Yang Qi, whose face was red with fever. She felt only pain and pity in her heart.

After everyone else in the room had left, Mama He thought for a moment and said, "Mama Zhu, are we really not going to go look for the Duke?" The young lady has such a bad fever now, doesn't she need the Duke to see her?

Nanny Zhu didn't say anything. She would definitely call for help, but the Linhu Courtyard was short of manpower, so she had to ask Xinyun to boil water before she could go find the Duke. If she didn't call, the people in the main house would have something to say.

It has been so long since the Duke returned home that it is enough time for Madam Zhu to see the reality clearly.

The Duke, you don't have the young lady in your heart! It is very likely that the Duke will not be invited today, and those people will think that the young lady is unlucky.

In the upper room, except for three or two people who were keeping watch in the old lady's yard, everyone else had fallen asleep.

Suddenly, a series of violent knocks on the door woke up the people in the upper room. The old lady was old and had a light sleep, so she woke up the moment Xinche knocked on the door.

Mother Rong helped the old lady put on her clothes, and then asked someone to open the door. Someone knocked on the door at this time, probably because something important happened in the mansion.

Looking at Xin Che's tear-stained face, Mother Rong frowned: "Why are you knocking on the door so early? Don't you know that you will disturb the old lady?"

Xin Che knelt on the ground: "Mother Rong, the third young lady has a fever and is now unconscious. Nanny Zhu said to ask a doctor to see her immediately. I also asked Mother Rong to report to the old lady and ask her to find a doctor for the third young lady."

Xinche's voice was so loud that even the old lady in the yard could hear it clearly.

"How could this be?" The Duke scolded the third girl today. The old lady knew about this matter, but she didn't expect that the girl would be sick, and it seemed that she was still seriously ill.
