The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

As Yang Qi studied intensively, the day when Mr. Yang would enter the mansion was getting closer.

That evening, after Yang Qi finished eating the meal sent from the kitchen, he did not walk to digest the food, but sat quietly by the back lake.

In the evening, the wind started to blow outside. The wind on Yang Qi's face made him more awake after studying all day. The sky gradually darkened, and Houhu Lake looked different under this light. During this period, Yang Qi had been busy with reading books and running the shop. After catching up with Mr. Yang's pace, Yang Qi planned to let Xiao Tao and Xiao Ju plant some lotus flowers in Houhu Lake. Next year, when the lotus flowers are in full bloom, the breeze will surely be beautiful.

Squinting his eyes, Yang Qi began to quietly enjoy the tranquility and comfort of the moment. After a short break from a busy schedule, the efficiency of reading will double. This is a small conclusion that Yang Qi has drawn from his recent studies.

Mother He looked outside and saw that it was gradually getting dark. She went into the inner room, took a cloak, and walked to the back lake. She saw Yang Qi huddled in a chair. In the dim light, he looked particularly desolate and lonely.

Mother He doesn't like Houhu Lake because it is too desolate and there is nothing there. She also doesn't know what's wrong with the young lady recently and why she always likes to sit here alone.

Mother He put the cloak on Yang Qi, then lit the lantern and waited quietly beside Yang Qi.

Mother He looked at Yang Qi, who was curled up in a ball, and felt extremely distressed. She had grown up with the lady, and now she was watching the young lady grow up. Before the lady married into the Duke of Song's mansion, she was like a lark flying in the sky, free and unfettered, not knowing what sorrow was. Doctor Gu had not yet entered the palace to become an imperial physician, and he just took all his students to see patients everywhere every day. The lady liked to follow him since she was a child. Although she didn't like studying medicine, at that time, the lady was happy all day long, and her life was free of worries and sorrows.

It was not until the Duke of Song's mansion valued Dr. Gu's medical skills and prospects and came to ask for his wife that Song Hongwen, who was very handsome, spoke in a grandiose manner, saying how good things would be in the future. Because of Song Hongwen's good attitude, Dr. Gu made the decision to marry him even though he was a second marriage.

When Madam was waiting to be married, she was full of expectations and had been looking forward to living with Song Hongwen in this life. All of Madam's dowry, including the wedding dress, was sewn by herself. In front of Mother He's eyes, it seemed as if Madam was embroidering the wedding dress with a smile in her eyes in front of the embroidery frame. Every move she made exuded happiness, and the whole person seemed to be in a honey pot.

However, the day she married into the Duke of Song's mansion was the beginning of the nightmare of her life. The old lady favored Song Yanglan, and as a result, she disliked her own wife. Song Hongwen was also nice to his own wife at first, but soon he got tired of her and gradually became indifferent to her. Even when the old lady deliberately made things difficult for him, Song Hongwen pretended not to know.

Seeing Song Hongwen's attitude gradually fade, the lady's heart gradually became cold, and the days in the Song Guogong Mansion began to become difficult. Until that day, the palace came with news that Doctor Gu had offended the nobles in the palace and the prescriptions he prescribed killed the nobles in the palace. Song Hongwen rushed into the lady's yard angrily, roaring loudly, and scolding the lady as a vicious woman and a jinx. In Song Hongwen's angry roar, the lady knew that Doctor Gu had an accident in the palace.

Ignoring Song Hongwen's scolding and insults, the lady hurriedly asked: "What about my father? How is my father now?" Song Hongwen only sneered: "As an imperial physician with no medical skills, the palace has already given him a cup of poisoned wine and sent him on his way. Those disciples and relatives, I'm afraid they won't survive today." Every word of Song Hongwen completely overwhelmed the lady. What's funny is that it was on that day that the lady discovered that she was pregnant.

At that time, all those who were on good terms with the Gu family immediately drew a line in the sand. The lady asked for an audience again and again, but was rejected again and again. The lady was just a woman, so she had to sell all her dowry in the hope of building a relationship, but all the money she got was like a drop in the ocean, and it didn't work at all.

The Madam also injured herself during her repeated pleas for mercy, and the people in the mansion were always willing to take advantage of her. The old lady was in charge, and although the Madam was pregnant, she did not allow the kitchen to add more food. In addition, the Madam had a poor appetite, so she was getting thinner day by day.

Mother He watched the lady from the side. She turned from a beautiful lark into a grain of sand with a dead heart. She felt extremely sad, but there was nothing she could do.

On the day of delivery, the wife died of hemorrhage due to dystocia. Mother He looked at the wife who was gradually turning pale, trembling all over, with red and swollen eyes from crying, and she just wanted to die immediately if the wife couldn't bear it.

However, the lady used up her last bit of strength to entrust the young lady to the second lady and herself. The skinny and weak baby was the last blood of the Gu family. Her life was saved by the imperial physician Gu, and she would let the young lady grow up safely even if she had to do it with all her strength.

Fortunately, the second wife later became the head of the Duke of Song's Mansion. The second wife remembered the kindness she had shown her in the past and had been trying to appease the young lady, so the young lady was able to grow up healthily until she was four years old.

After this bout of smallpox, the young lady has grown up and knows how to protect herself!

Before she knew it, Mother He's face was already in tears, tears dripping down her wrinkled face and dropping onto the ground. Yang Qi looked up and saw Mother He's eyes filled with sadness and nostalgia.

Yang Qi knew that He's mother was thinking of her grandfather and mother. Ever since Yang Qi could remember, He's mother had been with him. After he fell asleep at night, He's mother would sleep on the floor in the outer room, fearing that he would have a nightmare at night and no one in the room would be scared.

But Mother He didn't know that in the same room, she would cry in her dreams in the middle of the night, missing Doctor Gu and his wife. In her previous life, after being woken up by Mother He, she never allowed her to enter the room. At that time, she felt that her grandfather's poor medical skills were embarrassing, so she didn't like Mother He to mention her grandfather often.'

However, on that bloody night, He Mama asked for leave to go home to visit her brother. The thieves who took advantage of the chaos in the capital to make a fortune robbed He Mama's brother's house. At that time, He Mama used her own blood to add color to that night, and Yang Qi completely lost the only old slave in the world who was devoted to him.

Seeing the tearful face of Mother He, Yang Qi stepped forward, hugged Mother He with her little hands, and said, "Mother He, it's okay, everything will be fine." But Yang Qi added silently in her heart, "The blood of my grandfather's entire family cannot be shed in vain. Mother He, I will protect you in this life!"
