The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

As soon as Yuan Ruiyuan left, Yang Qi hugged the wooden box, feeling extremely happy. He was so lucky, he finally found someone who could do it.

Taking out the Rongshan Warm Jade, Yang Qi held it in his hand, and it really felt warm to the touch. It was indeed a gift from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Even the workmanship of this wooden box was exceptionally exquisite. Although he didn't know the value of the item, it would be troublesome if someone with ulterior motives saw it. Especially this Rongshan Warm Jade, it was like seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

Yuan Ruiyuan actually believed in himself so much that he even took out the Mountain-Melting Warm Jade. Yang Qi held the Warm Jade against his chest, and his whole body became warm. He didn't know whether it was the effect of the Mountain-Melting Warm Jade or his own joy.

Yuan Ruiyuan walked out of the house but was not in a hurry to leave. He stood at the door for a while. Seeing Yang Qi's smile that seemed to be reluctant to let go of the treasure, he felt happier.

It was the first time that Yang Qi got such a treasure. Even if she was reborn, she couldn't suppress her joy. She had to perform better to make the prince pay attention to her. She had to work harder. That night, Yang Qi fell asleep holding the Molten Mountain Warm Jade.

On the second morning, Yang Qi was awakened by the sound of birds singing by the Back Lake. It was strange. The Back Lake had always been desolate, but now birds were willing to come. This night was the most comfortable night Yang Qi had ever slept in this life. Before, the quilt was always cold when he woke up, but today, he was warm all over. This Rongshan Warm Jade was really a treasure.

Yang Qi took a chain, strung the warm jade together, and hung it around her neck, not to show off. It was just that there were many people in the yard and it would be troublesome if it was placed in the house and seen by someone with ulterior motives. It would be better to hang it directly around her neck and hide it inside her clothes.

Yang Qi got up early today. After a simple wash, he checked the big characters he wrote last night and put them away, preparing to hand them over to Mr. Yang before class.

After Mother He prepared today's breakfast, Mother Fang, who was beside Mrs. Xu, came over.

Yang Qi looked at Fang Mama entering the courtyard, feeling somewhat strange. In the past, whenever there was something about Xu, it was Shi Wei who came to pass on the message. But what happened today was something that Fang Mama had to trouble. It was because Yang Qi had been taking classes with Mr. Yang these days, so the old lady and Xu Mama exempted Yang Qi, Yang Lan, and Yang He from the morning and evening visits.

Since Yang Qi and Yang Lan were not around, the old lady and Mrs. Xu didn't have much to say to Yang He.

Yang Qi put down his chopsticks and said to Fang's mother, "Fang's mother, is there something wrong?"

Mother Fang entered the house and said to Yang Qi, "Miss San, the eldest young master will be returning to Kongyang Academy this afternoon. The old lady and the lady have discussed that we should gather everyone together for a meal at noon today, which can also be regarded as sending the eldest young master off."

Yang Qi calculated the time and realized that Yang Qing was indeed about to return to the academy, but thinking of the morning class, he asked, "Did you tell Mr. Yang?"

Mother Fang nodded and said, "She is coming from Wutong Courtyard. Mr. Yang said that she will leave the class early this morning."

No wonder, Mother Fang must have been sent by Second Aunt to specifically inform Mr. Yang. She lived close to Wutong Courtyard, so she notified him as well.

Yang Qi said to Fang's mother, "Thank you for your hard work, Mom. I will be there on time. By the way, Fang's mother, why did Brother Yang Qing leave after lunch this time?" In the past, in order to avoid traveling at night, Yang Qing always left early in the morning.

Mother Fang went on to explain, "This time I went back to the academy with the eldest young master's classmates. As for why, I don't know." Then Mother Fang left the room.

After finishing breakfast, Yang Qi said to Mother He while rinsing her mouth, "Mother He, let Jing Shan follow me to Wutong Courtyard today."

Mother He listened and said, "Then I will go and inform Jing Shan to prepare."

Yang Qing was indeed going out this time to go back to the academy with his classmates, so the time was scheduled a little hastily. Jing Shan also got the news at the same time as Yang Qi. Knowing that Yang Qi had specially brought her along this time, Jing Shan was very happy but also a little worried. Could it be that the young lady had seen through her thoughts?

When Jing Shan was serving the old lady, she had always been conscientious and served her wholeheartedly. Because if she followed the old lady, if she was happy, she might give her to the eldest young master. However, later the old lady decided to let her follow the third young lady.

Although Jing Shan didn't show it on her face, she was unwilling in her heart. Once she followed the Third Miss, it would be even more difficult for her to become the eldest young master's concubine in the future. The only happy thing was that among so many brothers and sisters in the mansion, the eldest young master was closest to the Third Miss, except for the Fourth Young Master who was born to the same mother. Jing Shan was able to see the eldest young master from time to time.

Mr. Yang did not deliberately speed up the progress of the class because of the lunch matters, but just went on at his normal pace. If there were some things that he could not finish by the time, he would leave them for the afternoon.

When the class was almost over, Mr. Yang took out Yang Qi and Yang Lan's homework from yesterday and said to Yang Qi, "A few days ago, your homework was neat and tidy. Why is the homework you handed in today so crooked?"

Yang Qi lowered his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Yang, I wrote yesterday's homework by hanging the paper on the wall. Because it was my first time, I couldn't control the strength well."

Mr. Yang was somewhat shocked by Yang Qi's words. Mr. Yang had always been aware of his teaching habits and progress. Most of the ladies could not bear the hardship and could not keep up with his progress. Only a few, such as Song Yanglan and Bai Yuxin, could keep up with his progress.

Song Yangqi is not very talented, but he is a hardworking kid. Mr. Yang nodded and said, "Practicing calligraphy requires perseverance, not overnight. If you want to learn good calligraphy, you have to put in more effort."

Mr. Yang then said to Yang Qi and Yang Lan, "This character is a brick in the foundation of your life. If you can't write well, your future development will be like walking in thorns, full of difficulties. If the foundation is not solid, the earth will shake."

Mr. Yang's words were deeply engraved in Yang Qi and Yang Lan's minds. They bowed and said, "Yes, sir."

Today's family dinner was held in the old lady's upper room, and Yang Qi went there with Yang Lan.

This warm jade from the molten mountain hung around her neck. It was not noticeable when she was not moving during class, but when she was walking, it would touch her from time to time, and it would tap with the rhythm of her walking. Yang Qi was happy in her heart, but she did not show it on her face.

When they arrived at the upper room, Xu, Yangqing, Aunt Yin and Yanghe had already arrived and were sitting in the room talking to the old lady.

Mother Song led Yang Lan and Yang Qi into the house. Yang Lan was in front, leading Yang Qi to pay respects to the old lady and the second aunt.

After greeting, Yang Qi took a seat behind big brother Yang Qing and listened to everyone talking for a few minutes. In fact, it was just the old lady giving one-sided instructions to big brother, which were nothing more than asking him to bring enough money, study hard in Kongyang Academy, and take good care of his health.
