The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

“This Guangming Hall started out as Guangming Pharmacy, and it has not been easy to develop to where it is today.

Since you are determined to continue running this Guangming Hall, you should pay more attention to it."

Leaning on the soft pillow behind her, the old lady said with a little weariness.

Hearing the old lady's words, Yang Qi's face lit up with joy, and even her own complexion improved a lot: "Thank you grandma for your love."

Although Yang Qi was not afraid of the An family, he was happy and relieved that the old lady was able to step forward to stop the matter.

Seeing that the old lady looked a little tired, Yang Lan quickly said, "Grandma, you have just taken care of Dad's banquet these days, and now you have to worry about my coming-of-age ceremony. You must be tired. Why don't you take a rest first.

These days, my third sister has also returned home, so I have finally found a helper. You are not allowed to refuse me."

Seeing the smile in Yang Lan's eyes, Yang Qi happily held Yang Lan's hand and said, "As long as Second Sister doesn't despise me for being stupid, I will be happy to be your sister."

It seems that the Mansion of Duke Song and the Mansion of Marquis Yongyi had already started planning Yang Lan's marriage a long time ago.

According to Song Hongwen and Marquis Yongyi's current positions in the court, unless something unexpected happens, Song Yanglan will definitely marry into the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

Originally, looking at the entire Tianyuan Dynasty, Song Yanglan's only competitor on the road to marrying into the Fifth Prince's Mansion was Bai Yuxin from Prime Minister Bai's Mansion.

But now, Bai Yuxin will marry into the Eastern Palace soon at the order of His Majesty and become the Crown Princess. Nothing can stand in Song Yanglan's way anymore.

Yang Qi looked at the expressions of Yang Lan and the old lady, feeling a little sad.

Although Yang Lan is now more stable than her peers, she is still an unmarried girl after all. She has not experienced all the things in her past life. I think she would still fantasize about the harmonious scene between herself and her future husband.

As fate would have it, in this life, Bai Yuxin had already secretly pledged her life to Yuan Ruiyin.

If Yuan Ruiyin is obsessed with being with Bai Yuxin, Yang Lan's marriage to him will only be a pawn for Yuan Ruiyin to win over the Mansion of Duke Song and the Mansion of Marquis Yongyi.

For someone as arrogant as Yang Lan, not being loved by her husband would be a big blow to her.

But if Yuan Ruiyin's attitude towards Bai Yuxin was just a casual one, I think he won't have much affection for Yang Lan in the future.

No matter what the situation is, whether Yuan Ruiyin has feelings for Bai Yuxin or not, Yang Lan's life of marrying into the Fifth Prince's Mansion will never be perfect.

Suddenly realizing that she was worried about Yang Lan, Yang Qi couldn't help but shook her head. A woman like Yang Lan, who was brought up as a queen, could live a very good life even if she didn't get the favor of her husband.

The old lady glanced at the smiling Yang Qi and nodded: "There are many things to do for the coming-of-age ceremony. If you are too busy these days, Third girl, you can also lend a hand.

Next year, it will be your turn."

Over the years, the population of the Duke's Mansion has not been prosperous. Among the children of the eldest wife, only Yang Qi and Lan Yatou can play together.

Perhaps because they both learned from Mr. Yang, Yang Qi and Yang Lan have had a tacit understanding since childhood. This time, with Yang Qi's help, Yang Lan can indeed breathe a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, grandma. Yang Qi will definitely follow my second sister and study hard."

Yang Lan's coming-of-age ceremony must be much more grand than her own, both in terms of the layout of the venue and the quality and quantity of the guests.

The person who is most familiar with the general affairs of the mansion should be Xu.

Due to Song Hongwen and An's fear of the second house, even the old lady was reluctant to ask Xu to interfere in Yang Lan's coming-of-age ceremony.

But ever since An returned to the capital, she seemed to have been possessed by another spirit.

Originally, An Shi could manage everything in the mansion in the northwest. But now, everything she did was ruined. Even a simple banquet in the mansion could cause many unexpected problems.

This time, for Yang Lan's coming-of-age banquet, An took the initiative to volunteer to take charge of it.

However, the old lady was not at ease to leave this matter to An.

This coming-of-age banquet is an extremely important step for Yang Lan.

If handled well, it would surely elevate Yang Lan's reputation in the capital and lay the foundation for the upcoming palace banquet.

After leaving the upper house, Yang Qi wanted to follow Yang Lan to Qinfang Courtyard to help with some chores, but Yang Lan felt sorry for Yang Qi because he was not feeling well.

"You'd better have a good rest today, otherwise your body won't be able to take it." Looking at Yang Qi's face, Yang Lan said with concern.

In response to Yang Lan's concern, Yang Qi smiled and said, "Second sister, I know my own body. This time, your coming-of-age ceremony is a top priority, and I will definitely not disappoint your expectations.

Besides, if I’m tired, I’ll definitely take a rest first.”

Yang Lan knew Yang Qi's personality, he was extremely stubborn and would not change his mind once he made up his mind: "Okay, then you can arrange the seats for everyone at the banquet that day.

However, this is only the tentative number for now, and it will be changed at that time.”

Then, Yang Lan entered the yard and handed the list of people who would be attending that day to Yang Qi: "It is difficult to arrange the seats. This matter has given me a headache for a long time.

However, I am relieved to leave this matter to you."

Yang Qi looked at the thick stack of personnel rosters and felt a little overwhelmed.

There was no need for Yang Lan to emphasize, Yang Qi also knew the importance of this matter.

The Tianyuan Dynasty, with such a large court and so many officials, which one is the Crown Prince's man, which one is the Fifth Prince's man; which family has a bad relationship with which family and cannot be placed together, etc., are all things that require worrying.

Taking over the personnel list, Yang Qi took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, Second Sister, Yang Qi will definitely come up with a relatively good first version. This way, it will be easier for you to revise it later."

How could such an important matter be completely handed over to me? I must have been asked to make a simple version, which would then need to be fine-tuned by my grandmother and the wife of Marquis Yongyi.

Seeing Yang Qi's fearful look, Yang Lan laughed a little: "Don't be so stressed. This will be revised later. You are just making a rough version first."

Yang Qi nodded and returned to Linhu Courtyard with a large list.

In the room, Nanny Zhu had already cleaned up all traces left by the young lady this morning.

Seeing that the young lady had returned to the room, Nanny Zhu hurriedly came forward and said, "Young lady, why did the lady come here so aggressively today?"

Hearing what Madam Zhu said, Yang Qi showed a hint of sarcasm: "I don't know what's wrong with this An family. They actually put their hands in my bag."

Nanny Zhu's expression changed slightly: "Madam actually wants Guangming Hall!"

For Miss, Guangming Hall is not just a simple shop, but the result of her hard work over the years.

Mother He nodded angrily: "The Madam was in a very bad mood today. As soon as the young lady entered the room, she was scolded."

Seeing that He's mother was about to explode with anger, Yang Qi smiled and said, "He's mother, you have made great progress these days. You can even use idioms now."

Seeing Yang Qi's nonchalant look, He's mother slowly calmed down her anxious heart: "Miss, you are still talking about this at this time."

Madam Zhu saw that the young lady was confident: "Young lady, have you thought about how to deal with it?"

Yang Qi nodded and fiddled with the cup in his hand: "Since ancient times, there have been thieves who can steal for a thousand days. How can we guard against thieves for a thousand days?"

Since Mrs. An is so idle that she can't rest, let's keep her busy. When she is busy enough, she will naturally behave herself.
