The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

He slept throughout the day and woke up in the evening, but Yang Qi couldn't fall asleep again.

The torture and pain of being burned to death in his previous life, as well as the agony of sleepless nights in Han's mansion, all these things were reminding Yang Qi not to repeat the same old path.

Yang Qi casually picked up the coat beside the bed, put it on, and carefully looked at the small courtyard where she had lived for more than ten years. Before Yang Qi got married, the small courtyard she lived in faced the Back Lake, so it was named Linhuyuan. The Back Lake was not big, but it was located very remotely, at the innermost edge of the Duke of Song's mansion. On weekdays, few people came here.

In her previous life, Yang Qi always felt aggrieved because she lived in a smaller and more remote place than her other sisters. But today, she began to appreciate the quietness of Linhuyuan. The quietness here is not as desolate as the Han Mansion, but has the warmth of a cozy small courtyard.

The lakeside courtyard is not big, but it has everything. The two rooms facing the front are the main rooms, the east wing is on the left, and a small kitchen is on the right. Because the lakeside courtyard is too remote, every time the food is delivered, it is a little cold. Yang Qi is young and can't stand the hardship of living far away, and how can he stand the food not being hot? So he went to complain to the second aunt who was the head of the family. The second aunt felt sorry for Yang Qi, so she decided to use her own private money to build a small kitchen for Yang Qi.

Yang Qi lost her mother at a young age, her grandmother didn't love her, and her father didn't care about her. Although the family later hired a teacher and a nanny, the nanny didn't teach her carefully. In addition, Yang Qi didn't know the ways of the world, and instead felt happy that she didn't have to study as hard as Song Yanglan. Therefore, she never realized the importance of education and knowledge at home, nor did she feel that everyone in the Songguo Mansion had a tortuous heart.

After marrying into the Han Mansion, Yang Qi slowly understood some principles of dealing with people. The sisters in the family, except for Song Yanglan who lived with her grandmother in the upper room, had a small kitchen dedicated to her grandmother and Song Yanglan, and the rest of them cooked in the big kitchen with public funds. At this time, she stood up and wanted a small kitchen of her own, which made it difficult for the second aunt.

Since childhood, because my mother had saved my second aunt once, after my mother left, my second aunt took good care of Yang Qi. If my second aunt only built a small kitchen for Yang Qi, what would the other sisters do? Moreover, Yang Qi did not have any shop or income, and all her things and money were paid from the public. In addition to the cost of building a small kitchen, the money used to buy vegetables and firewood in the small kitchen would also be an expense over the years.

In order to prevent other people in the Duke of Song's mansion from talking too much, Second Aunt could only use her own money to subsidize Yang Qi. But when Yang Qi was a child, he did not realize this and did not feel Second Aunt's kindness to him. He just felt complacent that his wish had come true.

Now it seems that I really shouldn't have done that.

Houhu is a small lake. It is said that it was dug by humans, but the water is introduced from nowhere. The water in the lake never dries up all year round, but there is no flower or green leaf in the whole lake. It is just a desolate scene. In the previous life, Yang Qi felt that he was treated unfairly when he saw this lake, so he would never take care of it.

Houhu Lake is a remote place in the entire Duke Song's Mansion. Second Aunt saw that Yang Qi was not interested, so she did not send anyone to take a good rest. Now, Yang Qi looked at the Houhu Lake and wanted to take a good rest. After all, when he was tired of studying in the future, he would feel better when he saw the beautiful scenery of Houhu Lake.

At this time, Yang Qi smelled a fragrance coming from the small kitchen. He followed the scent and saw Mother He busying herself in front of the stove. He asked, "Mother He, what are you doing? It smells so good."

When Mother He saw Yang Qi, she was shocked, especially because Yang Qi was only wearing an outer coat. She hurriedly said, "Miss, why are you here and wearing so little? You haven't fully recovered from your illness yet!" After saying that, she wiped her hands and wanted to take Yang Qi back to the room.

Yang Qi looked at Mother He and said with a smile: "Mother He, it's okay, you are busy, I will go back by myself now."

Mother He looked at the young lady in front of her and felt that after this illness, the young lady really became obedient and sensible: "Miss, the kitchen sent a chicken today to nourish your body. I have already stewed it and it will be ready to eat soon!"

Soon, the chicken was served on the table. Yang Qi ate it and found it extremely delicious. Soon, he finished a bowl of chicken and chicken soup.

Mother He smiled and said, "Miss, I have scooped out all the oil in this soup, so it won't be greasy."

Listening to what He’s mother said, Yang Qi drank another bowl of chicken soup.

Putting down the bowl, Yang Qi asked He's mother: "He's mother, do you know what the situation of my second sister is like now?"

In the previous life, my grandmother invited the imperial doctors Li and Wang from the palace back to the Duke Song's mansion. In addition to the two imperial doctors in the palace, even the doctor that my second aunt specially invited for Yang Qi was called to treat Song Yanglan after my grandmother learned that he had good medical skills. Fortunately, smallpox did not spread to the palace. If it were not for the Duke's mansion, it would definitely not be able to invite the two imperial doctors.

However, the treatment effect of smallpox was not ideal. Song Yanglan only got better after using the elixir sent by Yang Qi. It is unknown whether Song Yanglan can survive this time.

When Mother He heard what Yang Qi said, she paused and continued, "I really don't know. Now our courtyard is sealed off and I can't go out. The three meals a day and the ingredients are placed at the door by the big kitchen, and I take them in. However, today's food is obviously much better than before."

When Yang Qi heard what He Mama said, she thought that it must be Second Aunt who knew about her situation and warned the kitchen nanny. Yang Qi could not say that she had deep feelings for her second sister. The whole capital knew about Han Renyuan's torture of her. At that time, Second Aunt was seriously ill and could not take care of her, but Song Yanglan and the Duke of Song's Mansion did not say a word for her. To them, she was just an insignificant person.

As long as she was alive, with the status of Han Renyuan's legal wife, the Mansion of the Duke of Song and the Mansion of the Minister of Revenue would be one, and Han Renyuan could naturally join the party of the Fifth Prince.

For several days, He's mother spent the whole day in the small kitchen preparing food for Yang Qi, hoping that Yang Qi would recover soon and be healthy. Yang Qi did not disappoint He's mother's efforts, and he was not picky about food. He grew taller and had some meat on his body, unlike at the beginning when he seemed to fall down at the slightest gust of wind.

Compared to Yang Qi's big heart and fat body, Xu, the housekeeper of the Songguo Mansion, is overworked. As the head of the family, Xu not only has to ensure that everything in the family runs normally, but also prevent smallpox from spreading in the Songguo Mansion. Because she has too many things to do, she neglected to take care of Yang Qi. Yesterday, she heard her dowry nanny talking about Yang Qi's deduction and scolded the kitchen housekeeper. I think this situation should not happen today. I don't know what's wrong with this little girl Yang Qi now. Tomorrow, I must let the imperial physician take a good look at her. I promised Gu to take good care of Yang Qi and raise her up, and I must not break my promise.

Fortunately, the imperial physician had just come and said that the second young lady was getting better. Only when the second young lady recovered could the old lady feel relieved. After listening to the two imperial physicians, Mrs. Xu felt that the matter was finally over.
