The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Mrs. An listened to An Xiaoyi's innocent words and sneered a few times: "Why, your father sent you to the capital just to let you find a wife in the capital." She had always thought that An Xiaoyi was a smart kid. How come he became so stupid after not seeing him for half a year that he even dared to have such an idea.

An Xiaoyi had long been dazzled by Yang Lan's beauty, so he could not hear the teasing in An's words. Instead, he said anxiously, "Aunt is always smart, how come you didn't think of this? You see, Song Yang Lan relies on her good family background and has never been very respectful to you, aunt. If one day Song Yang Lan can marry into the An family, then you will be at her mercy and can do whatever you want with her."

An Xiaoyi spoke with emotion, trying to convince his aunt to stand on his side.

If Song Hongwen had not revealed to her intentionally or unintentionally about the marriage arrangements for Yang Lan, An Xiaoyi's sweet talk would have really tempted An.

But now, An knew clearly about the arrangement of the Duke's Mansion. If he insisted on his own way, An Xiaoyi would get the benefit of the beauty. Even if he angered the Duke, he could just pat his butt and return to the northwest. However, he was afraid that he would be disliked by the entire Duke's Mansion, including the old lady, and his life would be over.

An glared at An Xiaoyi fiercely: "Today I will just pretend that I didn't hear what you said. To tell you the truth, Song Yanglan is not someone you can covet. If you want to get any benefits in the Duke of Song's Mansion, then stay in your yard honestly and behave yourself."

An Xiaoyi was stunned by An's sudden scolding and was very confused. Why was his aunt like this now?

The people in the An Mansion were all fed up with the fact that An married the Duke and could not see the situation clearly. Take An Xiaoyi as an example, he has been trapped in the vicious circle of why he can't marry the Duke's daughter since his aunt can marry the Duke.

On the way back to Qinfang Courtyard, Yang Qi looked at Yang Lan's cold face and said, "Second sister, it's not worth getting angry over such a disgusting person."

Because of her outstanding appearance, Yang Lan had long been accustomed to the feeling of being watched by many people, but this was the first time that someone looked at Yang Lan with such disgusting and dirty eyes. How could Yang Lan, who had always been proud and arrogant, swallow this breath?

Yang Lan clenched his hands and sighed: "If I had known that we would run into each other this morning, I should have asked for leave yesterday."

Yang Qi was somewhat helpless: "Second sister, these things are unpredictable. Besides, the An family has now made the Duke's Mansion their base in the capital. We live in the same mansion, so it would be difficult not to meet each other even if we wanted to." It was really interesting to hear that the An family had their eyes on the young masters and young ladies of the Duke's Mansion.

After returning to Qinfang Courtyard, Yang Lan didn't bother to let Yang Qi come in and sit down, but directly asked someone to prepare hot water. Today she had to wash from head to toe.

Nanny Li looked unhappy after hearing Yu Lu's words. Yang Lan needed a perfect background. If the news about An Xiaoyi leaked out, it would be a black mark on Yang Lan.

Yang Qi knew that Yang Lan and Nanny Li were busy with something, so she didn't join in the fun in Qinfang Courtyard and went straight back to her own little house.

Arriving at the Linhu Courtyard, Yang Qi brought Xin Che into the house and said, "Think of a way to let the maids and servants around the old lady and the Duke know what happened in the main house today."

As Yang Qi expected, after hearing the maid's report, the old lady got very angry and quickly asked someone to call An over. All the An family members were now sticking to the courtyard of the Duke's Mansion.

Before An could stand still, the cup in the old lady's hand flew towards An. However, the old lady was weak and only a small part of the water in the cup splashed onto An.

An was a little stunned, but she still wanted to hold on for a while: "Mother, I don't know what mistake my daughter-in-law made to make you so angry."

The old lady sneered, "It's been almost a year since Miss An came to the mansion. I think her parents miss her very much. We can't just keep her from going home. Her brother is here too. Let him take her back. This will also relieve her parents' longing for her."

An was even more stunned. She didn't expect that the old lady didn't follow the rules and didn't ask what happened today. Instead, she made the decision directly. However, if An Xiaoqiu went back in such a depressed mood, the bold words that An had left at her mother's house earlier would be like a slap in the face.

After thinking for a while, An said in a low voice: "It is snowing heavily now, and the road may be difficult to travel. It is better to stay for a few more days."

This was the only reason An could think of. The weather was cold now, and if he hurried on his journey at this time, he would probably get seriously ill.

The old lady was not a person who made trouble for no reason. Since she said this, she must have thought things through: "Since the weather is bad now, let's wait until spring comes and return to the northwest immediately."

An knew that the old lady was angry. If she refuted at this time, it would probably make the situation worse. She had to agree first and then think of a solution carefully.

Xin Che immediately informed Yang Qi of the old lady's decision.

Yang Qi nodded and said nothing more. Now that the old lady had spoken, An Xiaoqiu was afraid that he would start to act. Who knew what he would do.

The development of things now is getting further and further away from the previous life, and Yang Qi takes every step carefully.

Xinche originally thought that after telling the young lady the news, she would be happier, but he never expected that she would not show any reaction at all.

Since the cousin entered the mansion, the young lady has never been in a good mood towards the cousin, and Xinche was a little confused at first. The young lady has never been competitive in the mansion, and with the protection of the second wife, she has always lived a comfortable life in Linhu Courtyard.

But once she faced her cousin, she was like a hedgehog covered with thorns, and she couldn't wait to rush up to her.

Xin Che had always considered this as a conflict between the young lady and her cousin, and this time, she had gotten what she wanted by driving her cousin out of the capital. However, the young lady's attitude was lukewarm, which Xin Che really couldn't understand.
