The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 368: When the Wall Falls, Everyone Pushes Back (1)

Yang Qi's action this time was indeed because An family took the initiative and wanted to take away Guangming Hall, but it was not a sudden impulse and he was unprepared.

Yang Qi had already started setting up the trap against An before An returned to Beijing.

Otherwise, how could he have such an understanding of the An family's assets in the capital and successfully place his own people in the main house.

Now that he has already taken action, Yang Qi will certainly not let An's affairs go smoothly. He will make An's family helpless.

An's plan to rush outside the palace to ask for mercy was doomed to fail.

Due to a series of "coincidences", An and Song Hongwen "successfully" missed each other. One rode a horse and hurried back to the mansion, while the other took a carriage and hurried to wait outside the palace.

Looking at the broken wheel, An became more and more impatient: "It's just a replacement wheel. How long will it take you to fix it?"

Today was really a bad day. There were accidents in the shop one after another, and even when I went out, I had the bad news of broken wheels.

An couldn't help but fall into deep doubt. Did she touch any taboo recently? Should she take some time to go to the temple to change her luck?

The servant who was changing the wheels couldn't help but wipe his sweat and said, "Madam, it is very troublesome to install and remove the wheels. Besides, this is the first time I have repaired such a carriage. I hope Madam can give me more time."

The servant's voice was trembling as he spoke, it was really miserable.

This morning, for some unknown reason, the Madam's capable maids and the stewards of the outer courtyard all asked for leave and left the house.

To make matters worse, my wife needs a car because she needs to go out of the house.

I am just a groom, and a very inconspicuous one in the mansion. On ordinary days, it is not my turn to drive the horses for the master. These are jobs that only grooms with good reputation and background can do.

Fortunately, I have been in the stable for many years and have seen several masters repairing carriages on weekdays, so I am not completely clueless when repairing it today.

If it were normal time, An could wait a little longer, but the situation was urgent today, and An had no patience to wait here: "If you can't fix this carriage within a quarter of an hour, you don't have to show up at the Duke's Mansion anymore."

The servant was greatly shocked and his hands moved very quickly.

Everyone in the mansion said that this lady was not as easy to talk to as the second lady. Once you angered her, it was very common to drive her out of the mansion.

"Don't worry, Madam. I will change it as soon as possible and will never delay Madam's important matter."

I was a slave in the palace. With this status, it was impossible for me to do business or buy land freely like ordinary people when I left the palace.

However, even though the boy had used all his brain and physical strength to repair it, he was still unfamiliar with how to repair the wheel.

A quarter of an hour later, An saw that the servant had not yet repaired the carriage. She avoided people and kicked the servant in the back: "You useless thing, the Duke's Mansion has raised you for so many years, and you can't even repair a carriage."

An's shoes were valuables, and the servant was kicked hard. Now he only felt a burning pain on his back, but he still pleaded with An: "Madam, please be magnanimous. Please give me more time."

Hearing the servant's words, An's anger from this morning was vented out, and she kicked him again: "I give you time, who will give me time?"

Under An's urgent urging, the servant installed the wheels in the shortest time possible.

However, after such a delay, when An hurriedly arrived outside the palace, Song Hongwen had already left the palace and rushed back home angrily.

When he returned to the Duke's Mansion, Song Hongwen learned that An had ridden out of the mansion early in the morning.

Upon hearing the news, Song Hongwen was filled with rage. Such a big thing had happened, but the mistress of the house was not in charge of the affairs in the mansion, but was running outside instead. Wasn't she thinking things were chaotic enough?

When Song Hongwen thought about the look on Jingzhao Yin's face when he said these words to him after the court session, it was the first time that he felt so ashamed.

Although Jingzhao Yin came over to explain why he took people away from Changshou Hall, there was no trace of apology on his face.

This An was only in charge of miscellaneous affairs for a period of time. During this period of time, how many things, big and small, inside and outside, happened in the Duke of Song's Mansion?

Thinking of this, Song Hongwen fell into deep doubt.

Why did I decide to make An the legitimate heir in the first place? It was a mistake.

The Northwest is where An grew up. In the Northwest, An can handle all the affairs in the mansion without causing any trouble.

But in the capital city, a place where many dragons gather, the An family and the An clan made repeated mistakes. Not only was the power of the An family greatly reduced, but the Mansion of the Duke of Song was also implicated.

Before Song Hongwen reached the main house, Rong Mama, who was beside the old lady, stopped him and said, "Duke, the old lady wants to see you."

Song Hongwen had a rough idea of ​​what his mother was going to say: "Go and report to mother first. I'll change my clothes and come over."

Song Hongwen had just come out of court, and was still wearing court robes.

Nodding, Mother Rong went back to the upper room with Song Hongwen's words.

When An hurried back home, she found out that the Duke had already returned to the main house.

After finally reaching the main house, I found out that the old lady had already asked the Duke to leave.

Knowing this, An's heart seemed to skip a beat. Finally, things had come to the worst.

In the upper house, when An entered, a group of people had already gathered inside, including the old lady, the Duke, Song Yanglan, Song Yangqi, and Aunt Yin and her daughter. Except for the Second Lady who was "unwell", all the other masters of the Duke's Mansion were present.

Everyone looked serious, without a trace of smile on their faces. Even Song Yanglan, who always smiled, put away her smile at this moment.

Earlier, Yang Qi received the old lady's order and went to the upper room to pay his respects. He knew that the old lady was going to settle accounts with the An family today and also to make an example of them.

Yang Qi's lakeside courtyard was the farthest from the upper house, so when Yang Qi arrived, everyone had already taken their seats.

For some reason, when Yang Qi saw everyone gathered together to attack the An family, he couldn't help but think of the Han Mansion in his previous life. It was under such circumstances that Old Madam Han and others judged him and ruined his life with just a few words.

At that time, I was weak and helpless, without any ability to protect myself. I just believed that those who were innocent would be innocent, and hoped that someone could clear my suspicion and get me out of this dangerous situation.

But the road of life is not destined to be as exciting as in the storybooks.

The old lady, Song Hongwen, An, Song Yanglan, these relatives from her mother's side, seemed to have agreed at the same time to turn a blind eye to her tragic circumstances.

The only one who came was Han Renyuan, who also came here to add insult to injury.
