The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Linhu Courtyard was originally located in the vicinity of the Duke's Mansion, and Yang Qi wanted to delay, so they stopped and walked along the way.

Today, in order to better complete Yang Lan's coming-of-age banquet, all the maids and servants were assigned important tasks.

Along the way, Yang Qi only saw maids and old women coming and going in a hurry, but none of them was discussing the death of An.

"Madame Zhu, father has kept the news secret very well."

"Some things cannot be hidden even if you want to." Even if the maids and servants in the mansion don't say it, everyone who should know will know it.

When Yang Qi leisurely arrived at the main house, there were already many servants and maids guarding the courtyard in both visible and hidden places to prevent irrelevant people from approaching.

As for Yang Qi, he was naturally not within the range of those who were stopped.

Inside the house, Aunt Yin, Mother Rong, Nanny Li, and Song Hongwen's trusted stewards had already gathered there.

Because Aunt Yin had a sudden miscarriage, Doctor Bai said that "it is very harmful to your health and you must rest well." These days, she has been staying in Liuliyuan to recuperate.

Today, Yang Lan's Aunt Yin did not show up for her coming-of-age ceremony.

However, not attending the coming-of-age banquet did not affect Aunt Yin's festive attire. She wore a pink dress, which made her face look rosy. She did not look like someone who had just had a miscarriage at all.

It was obvious that Madam Rong, Madam Li, and the stewards had rushed over from the banquet without even having time to change their clothes or decorations.

These people seemed out of place in the house.

As for Yang Jing, she knelt in front of An's bed, her eyes were already red and swollen from crying, and even now, she was still wiping tears from her hands.

Although Jin Mama and Xing'er were saddened by Mrs. An's departure, they did not lose their manners.

The two men quickly changed An's clothes, then found some white cloth and replaced the few red silks in the courtyard.

Even Yang Jing, who was crying her eyes out, was changed into plain clothes with the help of the two of them.

Most of the masters of the Duke's Mansion were trapped at the banquet. When Yang Qi entered the room, he became the person with the highest status in the room.

Under the gaze of everyone, Yang Qi walked alone to Yang Jing and kowtowed to An, which was considered as a final farewell to An.

In any case, An still holds the title of his and Yang Lan's legitimate mother.

Looking at Yang Jing kneeling on the ground, Yang Qi frowned and said coldly: "Mother Jin, get a cushion for Sixth Sister.

The ground is cold now. If mother were still alive, she would definitely not want to let Sixth Sister do this."

After saying that, Yang Qi stood up and stood aside, looking like he had no intention of continuing to interfere in what was happening inside the house.

Mother Jin has always had a bad relationship with Linhu Courtyard. Previously, she relied on An's power to bully others in Linhu Courtyard.

Although it didn't work out in the end, it doesn't mean that the relationship between Jin's mother and Yang Qi has improved.

But now, the madam passed away suddenly, and the Sixth Miss's status in the mansion might be even worse than that of the Third Miss. After all, the Third Miss was Mr. Yang's disciple, and had a good relationship with the Second Miss since childhood.

Today, the happy event of the Fifth Prince attending the Second Miss' coming-of-age banquet had already spread throughout the Duke's Mansion.

Even though Mother Jin and Xing'er knew about this, in this critical situation, their brains worked more actively than usual.

No wonder so many ladies in the mansion have been fond of the Second Miss over the years, and have openly and covertly asked the Old Lady and the Duke about their plans for the Second Miss's future husband, but the Old Lady and the Duke have always been indifferent.

Over the years, I have never heard that the old lady and the Duke have a special preference for any young master.

It turns out that the second young lady is the one from the Duke’s Mansion preparing to marry into the royal family!

The Third Miss has such a close relationship with the Second Miss that there is no guarantee that she will not marry the Fifth Prince’s right-hand man in the future as a means of recruitment.

From now on, you must never offend anyone in the mansion.

"Yes, Miss Six."

Mother Rong nodded secretly in her heart when she saw that Third Miss had quickly calmed the situation.

Before the Third Miss arrived, looking at the people in the room, Mother Rong was really worried that she would not be able to control the Sixth Miss and ruin the Old Madam's plans.

Aunt Yin played a significant role in the Madam's accident this time. At the very least, the injury on An's buttocks was all caused by the trap "designed" by Aunt Yin.

When Mother Rong just entered the main house, she saw Aunt Yin was already in the room and was shocked.

Not to mention that Aunt Yin had just had a miscarriage and it was not appropriate for her to go out in the wind at this time. Just look at the people around the Sixth Miss and An, I'm afraid they all are full of resentment towards Aunt Yin.

Isn’t this person afraid of being beaten by coming here now?

Yang Jing, who was crying until she was shaking, heard Yang Qi's voice in a daze. She slowly looked up, only to find that her third sister had already changed into plain clothes, which was completely different from Rong Mama, Li Mama, the housekeepers and others who were all dressed in new clothes and looked very festive, not to mention Aunt Yin who was wearing a gold belt and silver and a pink dress.

This alone made Yang Jing's heart soften. Naturally, she would be more obedient to her third sister's words than to what others said.

With her voice hoarse from crying, Yang Jing said towards Yang Qi, "Third sister, you are here too."

Sighing, Yang Qi nodded: "I am here to see my mother off for the last time.

Sixth sister, please don't be too sad."

After Yang Qi said this, Yang Jing felt even more bitter.

Over the years, I have often made fun of my third sister, Yang Qi, because of her background and the fact that she lost her mother at a young age.

But now, I have found myself in the same situation as my third sister.

Only today did Yang Jing understand what the four words "losing mother at a young age" meant.

Seeing the Third Miss bringing Nanny Zhu to the main house, Nanny Li listened to a few words and then quietly left the house to report to Yang Lan.

When the housekeepers saw this scene, they immediately asked Miss Third, "Miss Third, how should we deal with this situation?"

Outside the courtyard, there are loud gongs and drums and a festive atmosphere, while inside the courtyard, there are weeping and sorrow and it is completely lonely. What is going on?

Yang Qi glanced at the steward calmly, then looked at Mother Rong: "Mother Rong, Grandmother asked you to come here, but did you tell her what your plan is?"

The final decision on the sudden death of Mrs. An has to be made by Duke Song Hongwen. I think the old lady may not be able to make up her mind for the time being.

Just as Yang Qi expected, Rong's mother said as soon as she opened her mouth: "The situation is urgent, and the old lady hasn't had time to instruct on the follow-up matters."

"My mother's matter still needs to be discussed with my grandmother and father. Now that the banquet is almost over, we should wait for my grandmother and father to come and deal with everything."

Except for the Sixth Young Lady, all the other young ladies in the mansion were raised by Mother Rong.

Mother Rong has some understanding of the Third Young Lady's temperament.

In the eyes of Mother Rong, the third young lady is an extremely determined and independent-minded person who never acts arrogantly.

According to the way Third Miss has always handled things, she will definitely not interfere today. At most, she will come here to stabilize the situation.
