The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Yang Qi and Zong Yue entered the shop from the backyard. He Mama and Song Wei were guarding the shop. It seemed that Yang Qing had not come back yet.

Yang Qi looked at the entrance of the shop. Guangming Pharmacy was originally located at the intersection of three streets, with a large flow of people, but today there were a lot of people passing by the shop intentionally or unintentionally.

Yang Qi looked at Zong Yue, then gestured towards the street.

Zong Yue looked at Yang Qi and pointed to the street. He understood what she meant and said, "Miss, although this Caoshi is not as wealthy as the inner city, it is also a distribution center for major news in the capital. Here, everyone is watching the slightest movement on this street."

Mother He and Song Wei were listening to the conversation between Zong Yue and Yang Qi, and then they noticed that there were indeed many more people stopping in front of Guangming Pharmacy than at other stores.

There was a pancake stand across from Guangming Pharmacy. Two men in their thirties with patched clothes stood in front of the stand. One of them had a square face and was biting a freshly baked pancake. He said, "The previous pawnshop couldn't continue. This new shop has some stuff. The carriage at the door looks like it belongs to a wealthy family."

Another round-faced man looked around and said in a low voice, "This shop is not ordinary. It was opened by a noble from the Duke's Mansion. The second steward of the Duke's Mansion, Song Er, has already said that no one in Caoshi dares to mess with him now because he is a backer. We should be more careful next time."

The square-faced man nodded, quickly swallowed the pancake in his hand, and said, "Got it!"

There are many people in Caoshi, and there are many small groups like this that mutter to each other. They appear briefly and then disappear into the crowd.

Yang Qing moved quickly and came back before Yang Qi had to wait long.

On the way back in the carriage, Yang Qi thought that in his previous life, when his elder brother entered the government, the fifth prince had already inherited the throne, Yang Lan became the queen, and his elder brother naturally became a minister of the new emperor. He didn't know when his elder brother started to support the fifth prince. Was it before the crown prince's rebellion? Or after the fifth prince ascended the throne? Although he was close to his second aunt's family, they were not from the same mother and father. On many issues, he was not clear about his elder brother's family's position.

I thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with anything, and before I knew it, I was back at the Duke of Song's Mansion.

As usual, Yang Qi was going to tell Mrs. Xu about the recent events. However, because of what Mrs. Fan said before, Yang Qi chose to report to the old lady first.

When they got to the upper room, the old lady was nowhere to be seen. Only Rong's mother came out and replied, "Miss San, this is not a good time. The old lady didn't get enough rest last night and is still resting now."

After hearing what Rong's mother said, Yang Qi nodded and said, "Okay, then please wait for grandma to wake up and tell her that I was here."

Mother Rong said, "Okay, Third Miss."

Then, Yang Qi took He’s mother to Shi’an Hospital.

"Second aunt, you don't know that there are a lot of people in Caoshi. Today I saw people coming and going in front of the shop. I think the business of the shop should be good in the future." Yang Qike said happily to Xu.

Xu looked at Yang Qi's smiling face and couldn't help feeling happy. She said, "Caoshi is bustling with people. Every family has its own shop. But don't worry, Song Ri has already arranged everything. Just do your business honestly and don't worry about the rest."

Yang Qi said to Xu from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you, Second Aunt. Yang Qi can live the life he has today thanks to your care." As for his own father, it is better not to say anything.

Xu smiled and said, "You are talking nonsense again, kid."

Yang Qi continued, "Second Aunt, when I went to the Cao Market today, I heard that Xihu has a lot of medicinal materials and the prices are fair. Why doesn't your shop buy medicine from Xihu?"

Xu pondered for a while and said, "The price in Xihu is very fair, but the journey is long and the travel expenses are not small. Secondly, Xihu has been unstable in recent years and there are always some bandits. Your eldest brother sent someone to go there and he stopped me from buying herbs from Xihu."

Yang Qi nodded. So that's it. It seems that the eldest brother has already felt the strangeness of Xihu. But if the eldest brother can feel it, why can't the prince's ears and eyes notice it? Is it because he has been corrupted too much? Or is the eldest brother now a man of the fifth prince and knows the fifth prince's current layout?

However, Xihu is General Huo's territory. How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Huo tolerate bandits causing chaos in their territory? General Huo is the ever-victorious general of the Tianyuan Dynasty and the backbone of the army!

Yang Qi thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. With something on her mind, she couldn't concentrate on reading. She took her embroidery basket and sat by the lake to do the embroidery. Although her movements were slow, she was almost done with the sachet for Xu.

The next day, Yang Qi took the embroidered sachet to pay respects to Xu. Xu was very surprised when she saw the sachet handed over by Yang Qi. There was a blooming lotus embroidered on the outside of the sachet, and a circle of thread patterns embroidered on the edge. Although the needle was crooked and uneven, it was not something that a 4-year-old girl could do.

Xu looked at it carefully, touched the sachet in her hand, and asked Yang Qi in disbelief, "Did you really make this?"

Jing Shan smiled and covered her mouth, saying, "Second Madam, this was really embroidered by the young lady herself, stitch by stitch, without anyone's help."

Xu looked at the lotus sachet embroidered by Yang Qi in her hand and smelled it carefully. There was a faint fragrance. Yang Qi said, "Second aunt, I put some gardenias and cinnamon in this sachet. They are all dried petals. I thought they could be stored for a longer time."

Xu hung the sachet on her body and said to Yang Qi, "You are so thoughtful. Second Aunt likes this sachet very much."

Yang Qi smiled widely after hearing this and said, "If Second Aunt likes it, Yang Qi will be happy."

Xu touched Yangqi's head, brought Yangqi to her seat, sat down together, and said, "Yangqi, when you are done with your embroidery, remember to make one for your grandmother."

Yang Qi nodded and said, "Yes, Second Aunt, I have planned to embroider a headband for grandma."

Xu listened to Yang Qi's words and nodded, very satisfied. This girl has lost her mother, and Song Hongwen is not a person who can take care of her. If she wants to live comfortably in the future, the old lady's care is indispensable. However, Xu did not intend to explain these words to Yang Qi for the time being. Yang Qi is still young and cannot bear to live with a heavy stone.
