The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Main house.

For Yang Lan's coming-of-age banquet, the old lady specially invited the most popular actor in the capital to perform in the Duke's Mansion. For a moment, the huge Duke's Mansion was bustling with joy.

An lay stiffly on the bed, not moving a muscle.

These days, An has to lie down all day because the wound on his buttocks has not healed.

Mother Jin took a handkerchief and went into the room, preparing to wipe An's body. She saw An concentrating on listening to the noise outside, and her eyes became red. "Madam, your wound has only healed in the past few days. You still have to be careful and rest more."

There was a trace of sadness on An's face. Although she could not see the wound on her buttocks with her own eyes, she knew the condition of her own body. Now, there was no way it could get better. It was getting worse day by day.

With a hoarse voice, An looked outside and said, "Today's second young lady's coming-of-age party is really lively."

Mother Jin hid the tears in her eyes, tucked the quilt in for Madam, and showed a stiff smile: "When the Sixth Miss grows up, Madam will also hold a ceremony for her like today."

A smile appeared on An's lips, and then he began to cough violently.

When An felt the fishy smell in his mouth, he realized that he seemed to have been coughing for many days. In the past two or three days, he had been feeling drowsy.

"Mother Jin, I'm in good spirits for once. Please call Sister Jing over. I have something to tell her."

Mother Jin looked at the bright red blood in An's hand, and all her strength seemed to be drained away. She collapsed to the ground and said, "Madam."

These days, the Duke sent away most of the maids and servants in the main house on the grounds that An was weak due to illness.

Now, of the dozens of maids that originally surrounded An, only Xing'er is left.

Therefore, in addition to serving Mrs. An every day, Xing'er and Mother Jin were also responsible for the daily cleaning of the main house.

Xing'er, who was outside the house, heard the noise inside and hurried in.

These days, the lady spends most of her time sleeping.

It is rare to find time to be awake in a day.

After entering the house, Xing'er was happy to see that the lady was in good spirits. However, this joy was brought to the bottom after seeing the blood on the lady's hands.

For some reason, four words suddenly appeared in Xing'er's mind: last moment of clarity.

When Mother Jin saw Xing'er coming into the room, she tried hard to hold back her tears and said, "Xing'er, hurry up and find Miss Six."

If the Sixth Miss doesn't show up again, she will probably miss the last sight of the Madam.

"But, but the Fifth Prince is here, and the Sixth Miss should be at the table now."

Mother Jin wiped away the tears from her eyes, and then with her trembling hands, she slowly wiped the blood off An's hands: "Let alone the Fifth Prince, even if His Majesty comes in person, you have to bring Miss Six here now."

Xing Er quickly replied, "Yes."

Then Xing'er stumbled out of the house.

Yang Lan’s coming-of-age banquet was extremely lively, but Yang Lan just felt extremely lonely in her heart.

My mother's condition became more and more serious, but looking around the entire Duke Song's Mansion, no one came to visit her, let alone show concern.

Once the An family fell, Yang Jing's status in the Duke's Mansion also plummeted.

This time, the banquet was arranged in advance by grandmother and second sister, and third sister was responsible for entertaining girls of the same age, but she completely forgot about herself, the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion.

When Xing'er rushed to the table, she saw Sixth Miss sitting alone at the edge, playing with a handkerchief in her hand.

After a long pause, Xing'er said behind Yang Jing, "Sixth Miss, Madam wants to ask you to come over for something."

Let yourself go at this time?

Yang Jing looked at Xing Er with doubt: "How is mother's condition now? The banquet has just begun."

Seeing that Sixth Miss didn't move, Xing'er said anxiously, "Sixth Miss, Madam's condition is not very good, so she wanted you to go over and take a look."

Xing'er's anxiety didn't seem fake. Yang Jing felt panic in her heart. She didn't care about etiquette and left the table quickly, walking quickly towards the main house.

Nanny Zhu, who was following behind Yang Qi, saw Xing'er's expression, exchanged a glance with the young lady, and then retreated together.

"mother."

Before Yang Jing arrived, voices were heard from outside the courtyard.

When An, who was lying on the bed, heard Sister Jing'er's voice, she smiled: "Sister Jing, my Sister Jing."

Yang Jing ran all the way back to the house. When she saw her dying mother, she couldn't stop her tears from flowing and started to sob.

Over the years, Mrs. An could say that she was afraid that her only daughter would melt if she held her in her mouth, and afraid that she would fall if she held her in her hands.

As long as Sister Jing cried, An would not allow her to do that.

At this point, in the entire Duke's Mansion, apart from Sister Jing, no other master would cry for herself.

An Shi held her breath and wiped away Jing Jie'er's tears with her hands: "Don't cry.

Mother asked you to come here because she has something to tell you."

Pointing to the cabinet under the dressing table, An said slowly, "Go and get the wooden box inside."

At this moment, Yang Jing had already cried uncontrollably, and Xing'er, who was behind her, took the thing out and put it in the Sixth Miss's hand.

An patted the wooden box and said, "These are all the shops and lands that mother has left for you over the years. The Duke's Mansion is so big. You will live here alone in the future. You can't live without a place to live."

Yang Jing quickly pushed the wooden box into An's arms: "Mom, I don't want these useless things to rely on. I just want you to stay with me all the time."

Looking at Yang Jing, An's face seemed to be both happy and sad: "Jing Jie'er, dear, you have to remember that this Duke's Mansion looks luxurious, but there are only cannibals hiding inside.

This time when my mother got into trouble, Aunt Yin’s actions were indispensable behind the scenes.

After mother leaves, you must stay away from Aunt Yin and Yang He, you can't beat them.

From now on, you must be careful with your words and actions in this mansion, and keep in touch with your uncle and aunt more often. With them around, you won't be without support in this Duke's Mansion."

After speaking for such a long time, An couldn't hold it in any longer and started coughing violently.

Yang Jing looked at the blood that An coughed up and shouted anxiously, "Go get a doctor, go get a doctor!"

Mother Jin and Xing'er, who were standing by, looked at the lady's current condition and knew that she was at the end of her strength and did not need any medical treatment.

An didn't care about the blood on her hands at all. She used up her last bit of strength to hold Yang Jing's hand and said, "Jing Jie, Mother Jin and Xing Er are both capable people. Let them follow you from now on.

I feel more at ease with them both by your side."

"Don't worry, mother. I will definitely protect Mother Jin and Xing'er."

Xing'er and Jin's mother both knelt on the ground and cried, "Madam, don't worry, we will take good care of the young lady."

Seeing An slowly closing her eyes, Yang Jing could no longer bear it and burst into tears.

The crying sounds in the main room were completely different from the congratulations outside the room, and only made the room seem even more desolate.
