The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

This time, An was punished with 32 strokes of the cane, and only then did Song Hongwen order the beating to stop.

By the end of the beating, An couldn't even cry for help. He had fallen into a coma and was dying.

Xiaoqing told Yangqi everything that happened in the main house, even including what Luo's mother and others said.

Nanny Zhu and Mama He, who were in the room with them, frowned when they heard Xiaoqing's words.

After hesitating for a moment, Mother He spoke first: "How can this lady recover after being beaten with thirty-two boards?"

“When An was beaten with a stick, his lower body was indeed bloody.

I see that the executioner has some skills in his hands. I'm afraid An won't be able to stand up again in this lifetime.

If there is no careful care, it will be difficult for An to survive."

Xiaoqing's eyes were sharp. The servant whom Song Hongwen pointed at in anger this time was actually the most powerful martial artist around Song Hongwen.

The amazing thing about this guy is that he is extremely skillful when beating with a stick. Not only can he make the face of the person bloody and fleshy but the inside intact, he can also make the face without a single wound while the tendons and veins inside are already broken.

Nanny Zhu stood beside Mama He and said, "The Duke has been very ruthless this time. He doesn't intend to give Madam a chance to live."

Yang Qi leaned back in his chair, tapping the table with his hands. Based on Xiao Qing's words, he replayed the scene in the main room today in his mind.

Seeing that the young lady/master didn't say anything, the three people in the room stopped talking and waited quietly for the young lady/master to speak.

This Aunt Yin is really a ruthless person.

This might be the first time that the old lady and Yang Lan knew about Aunt Yin’s cruelty, but in this life, Yang Qi had already been prepared.

It was precisely because Yang Qi had made preparations early and laid out the plan in advance that he was able to accurately know the tactics planned by Aunt Yin.

This time, Aunt Yin's conception was not due to the power of nature, but with the help of a secret recipe.

This secret recipe can only ensure that women can successfully conceive, but women who conceive using this method often cannot give birth to normal children.

Aunt Yin has had this secret recipe for some years, but has never used it.

This time, Aunt Yin took a risk and used this prescription, just to sacrifice a child and crush An to death.

Having paid such a huge price, Aunt Yin had prepared all the contents in advance, including the previous preparations, Mother Luo's words, the whereabouts of the Duke on that day, and so on.

If the Duke could not see the pitiful appearance of Concubine Yin's sudden miscarriage, Concubine Yin would have suffered half the damage in this game.

Having served Song Hongwen for so many years, Aunt Yin not only knew Song Hongwen's desire for a son, but also understood Song Hongwen's inherently proud chauvinism.

Such a man who is extremely proud and enjoys admiration and respect cannot stand a woman showing weakness in a pitiful way.

From what happened in the main house today, it can be said that An completely stepped on Song Hongwen's two major taboos.

The matter of Aunt Yin's son's death could be a big deal or a small one. Whichever side Song Hongwen favors will be the one that benefits in the end.

Aunt Yin had a complete grasp of Song Hongwen's thoughts and plans, so it was expected that she would gain overwhelming benefits in today's battle.

Of course, there are many reasons why Aunt Yin was determined to risk everything to deal with An, including An's personal reasons, Aunt Yin's own unwillingness to accept the consequences, and the instigation of Yang Qi was also a fuse.

"We can reduce the number of people watching An. All they need to know is who An meets every day and what his physical condition is." Yang Qi paused after tapping the table, then began to arrange the people in the room.

"The people from Concubine Yin's side cannot be touched. In the days ahead, I'm afraid that this Concubine may not show it on the surface, but she will secretly stir up trouble in the Duke's Mansion."

"Mother He, Mother Zhu, please go out first and accompany me to Qinfang Courtyard later."

Such a big thing happened in the mansion. According to the "temperament" that he usually displayed in the Duke's Mansion, at a moment like this, he still had to find someone to give advice and see what was going on in the mansion.

Mother He and Nanny Zhu knew that the young lady had something to tell Xiaoqing at the moment, so they retreated together.

"Xiaoqing, you handled the matter of An and Aunt Yin very well this time.

Next, I have something else to remind you.

Please write down everything in the booklet, it will be very useful in the future."

After saying that, Yang Qi picked up the book that had been placed next to him and handed it to Xiao Qing.

After receiving the task, Xiaoqing responded without hesitation and immediately left the room.

After arranging Xiaoqing's affairs, Yang Qi changed into clothes suitable for meeting guests, and then led Mama He and Mama Zhu to Qinfang Courtyard.

The news of Concubine Yin's miscarriage and An's punishment spread immediately to every corner of the Duke's Mansion.

On the way to Qinfang Courtyard, every maid and nanny who passed by Yang Qi would definitely be talking about this matter.

As soon as something happened in the master's family, these maids and old women dared to talk about it, which shows that the An family is not strict in running the household on a daily basis.

A new emperor appoints new ministers. This principle is applicable even in the mansion of Duke Song.

Housekeeper Xu is strict and has rewards and punishments. In the past few years, these maids and old women would never dare to discuss the master's family affairs like this outside.

But now, although An knew that the people under his rule needed both punishment and support, he was helpless because the public accounts of the Duke's Mansion were empty and he really had no extra money to use for rewards.

As a result, all the maids and old women came to believe that An was a master who only knew how to punish but not reward, and that when she did things, she only did it to the best of her ability, without seeking any credit.

Over the years, because they both studied under Mr. Yang, Yang Qi and Yang Lan have always had a close relationship.

At least, among the sisters in the Duke's Mansion, the relationship between Yang Qi and Yang Lan is the best.

As soon as Yang Qi arrived at Qinfang Courtyard, Yu Lu took him to the tea room where Yang Lan was.

After looking around the furnishings in the room, Yang Qi smiled and said, "Second sister, the layout of your tea room has never changed since I first came here."

Apart from replacing the potted plants with the freshest ones every day, Yanglan's teahouse has remained the same for more than ten years.
