The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Having his thoughts exposed by His Highness, Yang Qi could only raise his head, look into His Highness' bright eyes, and said in a muffled voice: "An just died."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince raised an eyebrow: "So?"

If it weren't for the maid, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would never have known who this An was.

In the eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what happened to An today is simply a result of her own actions.

Seeing the Crown Prince's expression, Yang Qi's expression changed slightly: "Yes, I suddenly feel a little emotional."

Perhaps Yang Qi herself had not realized that over the years, she had only revealed her little girl's emotions in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is much taller than Yang Qi, and the two of them are now close to each other, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot fully see the girl's emotions from top to bottom.

Is this girl feeling sad about An's affairs? Or is she thinking about her mother?

After a moment of silence, His Royal Highness bent down slightly, held the girl's shoulders with both hands, and looked into her eyes: "Since the first time I saw you, I knew the pressure in your heart and understood your determination.

Back then, Nian acted decisively and cleanly. Moreover, more than ten years have passed, so even if we were determined to look for clues, we would only find indirect ones.

Based on these, we cannot convict the person behind the scenes.

Girl, remember, I will walk this road of revenge with you, so don't be afraid."

Ever since Yuan Ruiyuan expressed his feelings, Yang Qi has imagined countless times the ambiguous scenes between the two of them, and has also imagined the scene of Yuan Ruiyuan promising her a future.

But when Yuan Ruiyuan's handsome face clearly fell into her eyes, Yang Qi's original shyness, the uneasiness on her face, and even the worry in her heart, all melted into a clear spring in Yuan Ruiyuan's gentle eyes.

"Don't be afraid, I'll go with you."

Having experienced the loneliness and solitude in his previous life, Yang Qi never thought that he would be so impulsive in this life. Yuan Ruiyuan's words could completely ignite his hope and give him unlimited courage.

Yang Qi raised his eyes, his clear eyes full of light: "You treat me as a national hero, I will repay you as a national hero."

Thousands of words surged in Yang Qi's heart, and after a long while, he uttered these words.

The deep eyes showed endless affection. Yuan Ruiyuan curled his lips and rubbed the girl's head: "There is still one year."

Yang Qi blinked, not being able to react for a moment to His Highness's unreasonable words.

"Someone is here. I will be very busy these days. If you want to see me, just ask Ah Du to bring you to the East Palace."

The sounds outside the Linhu Courtyard fell clearly into the ears of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Yang Qi nodded, and when His Highness was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly grabbed His Highness's left hand with both hands: "Your Highness, Xiao Qi wants to know why you suddenly came to Linhu Courtyard today?"

Yuan Ruiyuan glanced at the girl, and gently touched her cheek with his other hand, his eyes gentle: "You have been very busy these days, don't you want to come to see me, and don't you allow me to see you?"

For some reason, Yang Qi felt that there was a hint of complaint beneath His Highness's tender words.

"Besides, the Duke's Mansion is so lively today, with all the officials and their wives in the capital gathered here. I must come and take a look."

Yang Qi subconsciously ignored the second sentence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, smiled and waved to His Royal Highness: "Your Highness, take care."

Seeing the girl finally smile, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turned around with relief: "There are still many things to do in the palace. I will come to see you next time when I am free."

Yang Qi nodded heavily.

Although Yang Qi knew in her heart that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince probably wouldn't have any free time, she was still happy that His Royal Highness could say this.

After His Highness left, Nanny Zhu reported back outside the house, "Miss, Miss Yu Lu is here."

Yang Qi smiled, took off her dirty coat, picked out a light blue skirt, walked behind the screen, and said calmly: "Madam Zhu, let Yu Lu in."

When Yu Lu entered the room, her face was a little pale. She bowed to the Third Miss behind the screen and said, "Third Miss, the Second Miss asked me to come and tell her that the Madam has passed away. If you have changed your clothes, please go directly to the main room to check the situation."

If anyone wants to investigate the matter of Nanny Zhu following Yang Jing out, they will not be able to escape.

There was silence behind the screen for a long time before Yang Qi spoke up: "I understand, Yu Lu, go and tell the second sister that today is her big day, I will take good care of the sixth sister."

After getting the third young lady's definite reply, Yu Lu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly left the yard.

Now, Nanny Li was arranged by the young lady to work in the main house, and she herself was in the Linhu Courtyard. Almost all the people around the young lady had been sent away, so she could be said to be a complete lone commander.

Nanny Zhu closed the door and saw that the young lady's hair was a little messy. After dressing the young lady, she said, "Young lady, your current hairstyle may not be suitable for going to the main room. Let me comb your hair again."

The light blue dress chosen by the young lady is suitable for attending banquets as well as for paying respects in the main house.

But the pearl hairpin on this hairstyle is indeed a bit too bright and does not quite suit this elegant outfit.

Sitting in front of the dressing mirror, Yang Qi took off the hairpins on her hair one by one: "Madam Zhu, how should we deal with the situation today?"

Today's incident was the first time that even though Nanny Zhu had lived for all these years, she had encountered a happy event and a funeral colliding at the same time in this mansion.

"Miss, I have never encountered a situation like today.

In my humble opinion, if the Second Miss's coming-of-age party is small and only invites relatives and friends, we should still consider the deceased as the greatest and replace the red silk with funeral clothes.

Familiar families will naturally sympathize with the host family’s suffering and will not say too much.

But today, the Duke's Mansion invited all the officials' wives in the capital, even the Fifth Prince.

How to deal with it now depends on the decision of the Duke and the old lady. "

"Then according to Madam's advice, how should I deal with things when I go to the main house later?"

If it were according to Yang Qi's own wishes, he would never want to get involved in such things.

If this kind of thing is handled well, the old lady and Song Hongwen will just habitually ignore it, and who knows, they may even turn the tables and put the responsibility on themselves.

If it is not handled well, let alone the outcome, you will be 100% responsible for it yourself.

"The old lady and the Duke must have sent someone to deal with this matter. The second lady asked you to go there now just to be on the safe side.

The lady is in the main house, so she might as well take a look at the ideas of each courtyard.

Besides, when the Madam leaves, how can someone like Aunt Yin who has such a plan bear to just watch from the courtyard? "

Yang Qi nodded without comment.
