The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 357: Preparing for the Coming-of-Age Banquet (1)

An didn't get any advantage from Yang Qi, but instead was left very angry.

The big move she had originally thought of was to choose her future husband, but she never expected that this girl didn't care at all.

"Since you have made up your mind, it is not my place for me, as your mother, to interfere too much.

Otherwise, outsiders would think that I covet the children's house."

An adjusted the tassels on her body and pretended to be pregnant and dignified.

Yang Qi smiled and nodded: "A daughter will always remember the kindness her mother has shown her."

This An family is really "both the powerful and the insolent". They want to keep the property in their hands and also want to leave a good reputation. There is no such good thing in this world.

After leaving the house, Yang Qi looked at Mother He who was pretending to be calm and said with a smile: "Mother He, let's go."

Mother He checked the girl from head to toe and was relieved to confirm that she was fine.

After helping the young lady out of the main room and out of everyone's sight, Mother He hurriedly asked, "Young lady, can you still hold on?"

Yang Qi said helplessly: "Mother He, others may not know, don't you know either?

Since we have left the courtyard today, we should go to the upper room and pay our respects to the old lady."

Mother He nodded: "Although I missed the morning ceremony, if I go there now, the Second Miss might still be in the upper room."

Yang Jing and Yang He have been learning etiquette from the governess these days, so they don't have much time to stay in the upper room.

Yang Lan is different. Her coming-of-age ceremony is coming soon. I believe that these days, the old lady and the wife of Marquis Yongyi have been worrying about Yang Lan's grand coming-of-age ceremony.

On the way to the upper house, Yang Qi found a secluded place and whispered to He Mama: "He Mama, do you know why my mother came to see me today?"

Mother He shook her head. An's roar was so loud that it could be heard clearly outside the courtyard. However, after the sound became normal, it could no longer be heard outside the courtyard. "I could still hear a little bit at the beginning, but I couldn't hear the second half clearly."

Yang Qi's face then revealed a hint of sarcasm: "In the past few years, Guangmingtang's business has been booming and the situation is very good.

But the An family's business was not doing well, as An Xiaoyi had caused a big fuss in the capital before.

This behavior not only offended some officials in the capital, but also directly caused the An family to lose several big businesses.

How could my mother tolerate the decline of her family? She immediately came to me and said that she would hand over the management of Guangming Hall to me so that I could have a rest."

Mother He's eyes widened: "How can you say such a thing? Guangming Hall is a memory that Madam left for you, young lady. How can we tolerate it? They just take it away if they want to!"

Originally, the lady didn't leave many things for the young lady. Apart from the medicinal herbs in the box, there were a few pieces of jewelry.

Fortunately, Guangming Hall was finally able to get the young lady back on track. Not only did patients from nearby areas come to the hall, but Guangming Hall was also able to maintain its basic operations.

As soon as she had some spare money, the young lady would immediately redeem her mistress's belongings and keep them well.

“Mother He, since we know what mother is thinking, this is not a bad thing.

Today, you asked the people who are keeping an eye on my mother and Shi'an Temple to be more alert these days.

Mother said directly today that Guangmingtang is not an ordinary shop. A shop related to medicine not only has complicated rules, but also cannot make mistakes. Once a mistake is made, the price paid is very likely to be the patient's life. "

"Miss, are you saying that the Madam is very likely to take action against Guangming Hall these days?"

Yang Qi hesitated for a while and shook his head: "I have already pointed her out, regarding the shared interests of the Duke's Mansion.

If she insisted on doing so, once her father and grandmother found out that she was behind it, she would definitely fall badly.

In any case, there is no problem in keeping a closer eye on it."

Mother He nodded: "Don't worry, Miss. I will make arrangements after returning to Linhu Courtyard."

Just as Yang Qi and He Mama expected, the Second Miss was indeed in the Old Lady's room, calculating the expenses of the coming-of-age ceremony.

Seeing Yang Qi enter the room, Yang Lan's originally calm eyes met Yang Qi's.

The old lady sitting upstairs looked at Yang Qi's haggard face and said, "If you are not feeling well, you should go back and rest early."

After Yang Qi finished her greetings, she thanked him and said, "Greetings to grandma. I am having some health problems right now. I will come to see you next time."

Yang Lan, who was sitting on the side doing the accounts, said with some worry, "Early in the morning, I heard that mother called you to the upper room. I wonder what's the matter?"

Yang Qi showed a trace of sadness: "My mother said that I will have a lot of things to do in the next few days, so I should pay more attention to rest.

Also, my mother said that the medicinal materials business is no different from other businesses, and that medicinal materials will need more inspection in the future.

Otherwise, if there is a problem with the medicinal materials, it could be fatal!"

After hearing Yang Qi's words, the old lady and Yang Lan's faces both paused. Was this An going to take advantage of the chaos when the third girl (third sister) just returned to the Duke's Mansion to rob?

Or did they take it by force while the third girl (third sister) was away? It was really unbelievable that the third girl (third sister) had to hand over Guangming Hall.

Listening to Yang Qi's words, the old lady thought about it in her heart. Could it be that the An family was almost out of money, so they forced the An family to make a farce and calculate the property of everyone in the Duke's Mansion, including the younger generation like Yang Qi.

Just as the old lady expected, the An family did assess the assets of each master.

You wouldn't know unless you calculated it, but the result really shocked everyone.

The branches of Guangming Hall are now all over the major capitals of the Tianyuan Dynasty! This one thing alone is much stronger than the entire An family.

Moreover, the results of a survey of several shops show that Guangming Hall has a very good reputation among local people and is a truly good thing!

Now, seeing the final plan and conclusion given by the An family, how could the An family not be tempted.

He started searching for evidence early on, vowing to bring Guangming Hall under his own name!

Yang Lan thought about it for a while, then said, "Third sister, have you promised mother about being the manager of Guangming Hall?"

Yang Qi shook her head and said, "Second sister, although it is difficult to open a shop, I have been in charge of Linhuyuan since I was a child. I am the only one who knows the affairs here best.

Although this matter is difficult to handle, Xiaoqi also wants to try to walk the rest of the way by himself. "

Hearing Yang Qi say this, the old lady nodded slightly in approval. That was the way it should be.

If they were easily frightened by An's words, then the third girl's courage and bravery would have disappeared along with Xiao Yuzhuang and his group.
