The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Yang Lan had not originally held out hope for Yang Qi. Although her third sister had built up some connections and a team under the guidance of her grandmother and second aunt, these were all limited to the Duke's Mansion. Lingshan Temple had a special location, and even her own news was slow, so it was reasonable that her third sister could not get any news.

In addition to paying his respects to the Crown Prince, Yang Qi has devoted all his attention to the "Art of War" by Sun Tzu. Whenever he has time, Yang Qi reads and copies books in his room, often reading a sentence, copying a sentence, and then thinking for half a day.

Every time, Mother He and Nanny Zhu would take turns to urge us to eat. This time, she reluctantly went to the dining table with a book in her hand.

When Mother He saw how hard Yang Qi worked, she couldn't help but murmur in her heart: With this kind of enthusiasm, I'm afraid she can even take the imperial examination.

In the past, Yang Lan just liked reading and made the most of her reading time. But now, she is a complete bookworm. She even holds a book in her hand while she eats.

Many times, Mother He watched the young lady pick up nothing with her chopsticks in the air, and then put the food in her mouth to chew without anything in it.

One time, Mother He couldn't help herself and asked Aunt Zhu: "Miss, is it really okay now?"

It was also the first time that Nanny Zhu had seen someone so self-motivated and hardworking. In the palace, everyone was competing with each other. Before every exam, there were many palace maids who stayed up late to review and did not have time to eat.

But the young lady is not under any pressure at the moment. Is it because she likes him from the bottom of her heart? Is this love too much? Nanny Zhu couldn't give a good explanation for Yang Qi's behavior: "Don't worry, the young lady will be fine."

Yang Qi was immersed in "The Art of War" these days, and it was Nanny Zhu who reminded Yang Qi: "Miss, Master Hong has taken the initiative to cut off contact with An Xiaoyi."

Nanny Zhu’s words were not so powerful that Yang Qi put down the book.

With his head lowered, Yang Qi continued copying the book in his hand: "Always pay attention. An Xiaoyi may become desperate."

Nanny Zhu nodded. After all, An Xiaoyi was an incompetent and conceited person. It was too easy to set a trap for such a person.

Different from Yang Qi who was calm and composed, An Xiaoyi was like an ant on hot pot - extremely anxious.

Hong Hu, this bastard, tricked me into investing all my money, but he disappeared without a trace. What should I do?

It's okay if I don't have any money on me, but those underground money lenders are not easy to deal with. If I don't pay back the money, these people might actually go to the Duke of Song's mansion to collect the debt.

An Xiaoyi's personal servant entered the room and said, "Master, the head of the underground bank, Mr. Mo, is outside the mansion asking to see you."

The servant's voice made An Xiaoyi's heart beat faster: "Are you coming now?" There are still three days before the agreed time to pay back the money.

The servant nodded and said, "Master, Master Mo has brought some people to wait outside the mansion. They said that if you don't come out, they will ask to see you later."

Those who run underground money houses all have some discerning eyes. At first glance, someone like An Xiaoyi is a young master who secretly comes out to borrow money without telling his family.

If we start the trouble at the mansion, I am afraid it will be embarrassing. However, threatening at the door of the mansion is very useful. It works every time. The best thing for these young masters is their face. Even if they cannot pay the money back, they will delay it for as long as possible.

An Xiaoyi took a breath and calmed himself down: "Got it, I'll go out right away."

After leaving the house, An Xiaoyi couldn't help but get nervous when he saw the Mo family with those strange-looking people, but he still pretended to be calm: "Why are you here now?"

The head of the Mo family snorted twice, with a fake smile, looking a little creepy: "The boss is afraid that you are too busy and forget about it, so he specially sent me to remind you. The time we agreed on is three days later. By then, the boss will prepare all the necessary items in the mansion to entertain you."

What Mr. Mo said was extremely threatening. What he meant was that if An Xiaoyi did not pay back the money voluntarily, they would have their own ways to make An Xiaoyi return the money.

An Xiaoyi's face twitched: "I know, this young master will not owe you this little money." But his body under the cloak began to tremble.

The head of the Mo family nodded with a somewhat fierce face: "Of course, everyone knows that the An family is a royal merchant, and your aunt is the wife of a noble duke, so naturally she would not look down on our small money. It's just that we are all doing small business, and this money is our savings over the years."

An Xiaoyi looked at the housewife impatiently and said, "I will go find your boss in three days." Then, An Xiaoyi turned around, swallowed his saliva, and entered the Duke's Mansion.

But as soon as he stepped through the door, An Xiaoyi's feet lost strength and he could not support himself and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the servant next to him was quick to support An Xiaoyi, otherwise, An Xiaoyi would have been really embarrassed.

Looking at An Xiaoyi's weak legs, Mo Dangjia was extremely disdainful in his heart: "Pah."

A beggar in ragged clothes whispered something in Mo's ear: "Mo, An Xiaoyi is not going to run away, is he? He doesn't look like he can come up with so much money in such a short time."

The head of the Mo family snorted coldly, "How can he possibly come up with the money? But he has the An family, the imperial merchant, behind him. Even if he runs away, we don't have to worry, because we have the certificate of guarantee from the Duke's wife. Ah San, you should stay around the Duke Song's mansion for the next few days. If he runs away, we will have to send someone to catch him back."

Ah San nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Mo." Ah San was originally a beggar, who was later victimized and kicked hard. Fortunately, Mr. Mo saved him. After that, Ah San followed Mr. Mo and was responsible for supervision and care.

With the help of the servant, An Xiaoyi quickly went to An Xiaoqiu's dormitory in Fangfei Pavilion.

Seeing the young master coming in without reporting, Qi Qiao was a little surprised and immediately stood in front of An Xiaoyi: "Young master, you barging in directly is probably against the rules."

At this moment, An Xiaoyi no longer cared about the rules and pushed Qi Qiao aside: "Where is that bitch An Xiaoqiu?"

Qi Qiao was pushed to the ground by An Xiaoyi. She used her hands to support herself and her skin was broken. "Miss is going to the Liuli Courtyard today and will attend classes with Miss Five and Miss Six." Bazhen also went to the Liuli Courtyard with Miss.

An Xiaoyi looked at An Xiaoqiu's room, which was completely empty of valuables, with a displeased look. He snorted and said to the servant outside, "Come in, everyone. Take away all the valuables in this room!"
