The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Yang Qi's carriage did not stop at the main gate of the Duke Song's Mansion, but went around and around to the back door before stopping. This was exactly the place where Yang Qi left the Duke's Mansion half a year ago.

At the back door, Second Madam Xu and Second Miss Yang Lan had been waiting here early in the morning. When they saw Yang Qi's carriage slowly approaching, they both smiled. More than half a year had passed, and he was finally back.

As soon as he got off the carriage, Yang Qi looked at Second Aunt's heartfelt smile and Second Sister who was quietly waiting at the side, and he felt relieved: "Second Aunt, Second Sister."

Looking at Yang Qi's slightly thin body, Xu's eyes were filled with tears: "Good boy, you have suffered a lot on the farm these days." Now, it's good to go back home.

Half a year later, Yang Lan saw his third sister again. He vaguely felt that his third sister was a little different, and her eyes and brows became more calm.

During Yang Qi's stay at Xiaoyu Village, he ate well, drank well, and lived a carefree life. The reason why he lost weight was just because he went to Xihu and suffered a lot.

"Second aunt, Xiaoqi is not suffering these days because you and second sister always think of me." Yangqi said earnestly, lowering her head slightly.

Previously, the reason why Song Hongwen sent himself to the manor was that he was determined to rely on the fifth prince and demonstrate the attitude of the Duke of Song's Mansion to the court.

Now that he is able to return, Song Hongwen must examine his current mentality to see if it will be a disaster for the Duke of Song's Mansion.

Since this is the case, I still have to make my stance clear so that Song Hongwen in the dark can rest assured.

Yang Lan looked at Yang Qi and said, "Third sister, grandma is hosting a banquet in the upper room for lunch today. You should go back to the lakeside courtyard to wash up first, and then go to pay your respects to the old lady as soon as possible."

Yang Qi nodded and said to Yang Lan gratefully, "Thank you, second sister." The thank you was not only a reminder, but also a reminder of her second sister's request to her father to let her return home.

"Yes, yes, yes. You must be tired from the long journey. Go and wash up." Xu pulled Yang Qi and went to the lakeside courtyard.

Yang Qi has just come back. Logically, she should go to pay a visit to the old lady and the Duke first.

The person who had been watching in the dark waited until Yang Qi entered the house, then he avoided everyone's sight and quietly entered the Duke's study, and told the Duke everything Yang Qi said and did today: "There is nothing special about the third young lady today."

Putting away the rice paper in his hand, Song Hongwen said sarcastically: "After leaving this girl alone for half a year, she finally behaves herself." If this child looks like her mother, it will be really troublesome!

Back then, the Gu family offended Concubine Nian and the Fifth Prince and killed the royal heir. Everyone was so busy dodging and cutting ties that they had no time to spare. But now, the Gu family is still thinking of using money to bribe people. How foolish!

If Gu had not married into the Duke's Mansion, there would have been one more person on the exile list. But this woman was not only ungrateful, but she also wanted to save people, trying to drag down the entire Duke's Mansion.

Everyone in Linhu Courtyard knew yesterday that the young lady was returning home, so the whole courtyard did a thorough cleaning for a day in order to have a clean courtyard to welcome the young lady.

When Xu took Yang Qi to the yard, Xin Lian had already brought people to prepare hot water and clean clothes, and was ready for the young lady to wash.

Yang Lan did not follow Xu and Yang Qi into the Linhu Courtyard, but went ahead to see whether the banquet in the upper house was ready, and reported to the old lady that the third sister had entered the house.

Pulling Yang Qi into the boudoir, Xu said with a somewhat unpleasant expression: "Xiao Qi, Second Aunt wants to tell you something. You must not be anxious, let alone angry."

Seeing Xu's expression, Yang Qi frowned: "Second Aunt, what happened?" Nanny Zhu had left people to keep an eye on the Duke's Mansion. Although Yang Qi was not in the mansion, she knew everything about the big and small things that happened in the Duke's Mansion.

"Yesterday, the Duke somehow found out that there was a herb garden in your yard, and he ordered it to be destroyed."

Over the years, Xu had seen how much Xiaoqi valued the herb garden and how much effort she put into the flowers.

The Duke had someone destroy Xiao Qi for no apparent reason. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was an attempt to establish authority over the Third Young Lady who was recuperating on the farm.

"What?" Yang Qi widened his eyes and staggered as he ran to the back lake. Only then did he realize that the place that was originally filled with the fragrance of medicinal herbs was now in a mess.

With trembling hands, Yang Qi picked up the ginseng wrapped in the mud one by one.

Yang Qi was not unaware of Song Hongwen's intention.

Although this herbal garden is not an important thing, it was cultivated bit by bit at a great cost and with great effort.

Putting the urgently rescued ginseng and herbs aside, Yang Qi's face was sad for a while: "Aunt, during these days in Xiaoyu Village, I have been thinking about a question.

Tell me, am I really my father's biological child?"

Yang Qi's mumbling and the loneliness on her face made Xu feel distressed: "Silly child, what are you thinking about? Of course you are the legitimate daughter of the Duke, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Song's mansion."

"But why did my father dislike me since I was a child? That day, I thought I helped the princess and would make my father happy, but I didn't expect that I would be banished to the farm because of it.

Zhuangzi is cold and even my house has no floor heating, so I can only rely on burning charcoal to keep warm. If it weren't for Second Aunt who always cares about me and sends me some silver charcoal, I really don't know how I would have gotten through this day."

As she spoke, Yang Qi couldn't help but choked up. But this wasn't because Yang Qi was pretending to be upset in order to attract Xu's love. She was just simply thinking about her past life.

In her previous life, she was the legally married wife of Han Renyuan, the eldest son of Han Shangshu's mansion. But in fact, not only was she trampled under the feet of Han Renyuan's concubine, her life was even worse than that of the first-class maid beside Old Madam Han.

Afterwards, he was driven to live on the farm, and although he was happy and comfortable in his heart, his material conditions plummeted.

When I think about it carefully, it's not that the farm is poor, it's obvious that the head of the farm received orders from the master's family and didn't let me have an easy life. As the eldest lady of the Han family, I had no capable people around me, so I ended up with such a miserable ending.

Xu carefully wiped away the tears from Yang Qi's eyes: "You can just say these words in front of me. Don't mention them again after you leave the house."

If the Duke heard such complaints, Xiaoqi would probably suffer again.

In any case, Song Hongwen is Xiaoqi's biological father, and Xiaoqi's future husband and reputation in the capital are still in his hands.

The Tianyuan Dynasty is a place where filial piety is highly respected. Here, if a person is labeled as "unfilial", it is likely that he will never be able to turn over a new leaf in his life.
