The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Since An didn't say anything, Yang Qi was not in a hurry and just sat in his seat sipping tea.

I didn’t get enough rest yesterday, so what I want most now is to drink some strong tea so that I can feel more awake.

However, now that I am in the main house, I should say less so that I can return to Linhu Courtyard earlier.

After taking a sip of the tea in the cup, Yang Qi smiled inwardly. This An family really didn't treat him badly. The tea he drank on weekdays was not cheap. Xinyang Maojian was really good.

After thinking about the current situation and the way of speaking, An said, "Third girl, if I'm not mistaken, the mansion allocated a medicine shop for you.

With these points, the development of this medicine shop is quite good, which shows that you are capable. "

Finally, I couldn't hold it in any longer. I had been wandering around all morning today. It turned out that An was plotting against Guangming Hall.

Indeed, with the secret support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as Peilin gradually established a foothold and gained fame in Xihu, Guangmingtang's branches quickly spread to major capitals of the Tianyuan Dynasty.

Although Yang Qi intends to reduce the presence of Guangmingtang in the Duke's Mansion, such a "gold mountain" is in the hands of Yang Qi. In the eyes of people like An, they have long regarded it as their own private property, waiting to "fatten the sheep" at any time.

It seems that An had already thought of this idea, but she was not in the capital, and Guangming Hall was looked after by her second aunt, so she could not find a chance to act.

Today, he wanted to put some accusations on himself first, and then force himself to submit and take out Guangmingtang obediently.

Putting down the teacup, Yang Qi briefly explained: "Mother, this medicine shop is the dowry my mother left me."

Speaking of this, Yang Qi couldn't help but look a little lonely.

For so many years, I have never seen my biological mother, and the only thing I care about is those jewelry.

Hearing Song Yangqi's words, An's face darkened.

Everyone in the Duke's Mansion knew that when Gu married into the Duke's Mansion, the Gu family did prepare some dowry for her.

However, when the Gu family got into trouble later, Gu spent all her dowry and made arrangements, hoping to make the people of the Gu family more comfortable in prison.

For this reason, the Duke got very angry that year. Being angry at the Gu family would only bring trouble to the Duke's Mansion and would be of no use at the critical moment.

“Third girl, everyone in the Duke’s Mansion knows that the Gu family offended the emperor and the entire family was imprisoned.

Gu was spared from blame because she married into the Duke's Mansion.

But, in order to save people, Gu sold all her dowry, so how could she leave a medicine shop for you?"

As he spoke, An's eyes stayed on Yang Qi, trying to find some flaws in this unlucky man's expression.

If Xu had not acted so cautiously back then and left all the evidence to Yang Qi, with not a single trace left in the account books of the Duke's Mansion, An would not have to find a breakthrough through Yang Qi now.

"Mother, you may not know that when I passed away early, I left some jewelry to my daughter.

Second Aunt felt that the value of these jewels would decrease if left unused, so she asked Yang Qi to sell the jewels and buy the pharmacy.

It is said that this medicine shop was bought with the money left by my mother, which was the dowry my mother left for her daughter. "

Yang Qi said all this to make one point, that is, the money used to buy this medicine shop was all from his mother's dowry, and not a single cent from the Duke's Mansion was used.

The An family no longer needs to focus on Guangming Hall.

Fortunately, I was wise at that time and pawned the hairpin left by my mother first. Then, after my second aunt found the shop, I was able to pay the full amount myself without leaving any evidence.

An frowned. Xu actually agreed to use this unlucky person's own money to buy a shop.

Over the years, hasn't Xu treated this jinx, her own daughter, with love and care?

Back then, Song Yangqi was just a child. How could he be the boss of such a big shop and staff the entire shop?

You know, this medicine shop is not an ordinary shop, it is strictly controlled by the imperial court.

In An's heart, she always believed that Guangming Hall was the dowry prepared by Xu for Yangqi, because only Xu would care so much about Song Yangqi and be able to run this business.

However, An did not believe that Xu had never been corrupt or abused her power for personal gain while in charge of the Duke's Mansion.

It is not known whether Xu's methods were too sophisticated, but until now, An had not discovered anything unusual in the account books, nor had he found any trace or evidence of Xu's embezzlement.

There was no evidence, and there was no flaw in Song Yangqi's words. All of An's previous roundabout methods failed, and she could only get straight to the point and say, "Third girl, you will be a virgin next year, right?

Next, you need to take a good look at your husband’s family.

The Duke has already told me that you and the Second Miss should choose your marriage carefully, so as a mother, I need to spend more time thinking about it.

During this period, until you get married, you still have to embroider your own dowry. The tasks on hand are tedious and complicated, and you probably don't have much time to take care of the affairs of Guangming Hall.

In this way, your mother will take care of you for a while, and when you are done with the dowry, she will return you intact and guarantee you a prosperous and bright house. "

Looking at An's self-deceiving eyes, Yang Qi's low standard of An's character lowered even more.

Does Mr. An only think of himself as a smart person and treat everyone else as fools?

"Mother, although I am stupid, I know that as the mistress of the Duke's Mansion, you have many affairs to deal with every day. How dare I bother you with these little things of mine?

Besides, I have been dealing with Guangmingtang's affairs for so many years that I have gotten used to it and don't find it troublesome."

What a joke! To him, Guangming Hall is not just a pharmacy, but also a station for him to inquire and collect intelligence. How could he possibly hand over these secret matters to the An family?

"Third girl, you have to think carefully.

This pharmacy is not like other pharmacies. Any negligence could result in death."

An spoke the last few words very slowly. Yang Qi glanced over and saw An's warning look. Was he threatening him?

The An family has been a little empty lately, and even Mrs. An has started to jump around so happily.

"Mother, you are absolutely right. I will definitely keep your words in mind and strictly ensure the quality and safety of the pharmacy. I will never do anything that will harm the reputation of the Duke's Mansion.

Now is a critical period for my father's promotion. Any slight disturbance in the mansion will result in countless eyes staring at us outside.

My daughter knows all these principles.”

Yang Qi's words were meant to remind An that if there were any problems with her pharmacy, it would be the Duke's Mansion that would be embarrassed, and the one who would really suffer would be her father who had just been promoted.

Don’t pick up sesame seeds and lose the watermelon!
