The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 426 Different Thoughts (2)

After Bai Qi and Nian Chuan got into trouble, the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion was implicated to a considerable extent.

These days, Shi'an Temple has been quite depressed. Compared with the coming-of-age banquet a few days ago, it is really a world of difference.

However, the situation in the capital is tense now, and every household is worried and afraid that the reshuffle of the court will affect them. Not to mention Shi'an Courtyard, even the entire Songguo Mansion seems to have fallen into a cold cave.

For a moment, all the maids and servants in the Duke's Mansion were on high alert, fearing that they would displease their master if they were not careful while doing their work. However, they were talking about it in private. Those who were smart had already begun to think about what to do after the Duke's Mansion fell one day.

Yu Lu looked at the untouched breakfast and frowned. She was about to speak, but looking at the young lady leaning against the windowsill with a worried look on her face, she really didn't know what to say except those repeated words. She had to clean up the table and retreat with the breakfast.

As soon as she left the house, Yu Lu looked at Nanny Li who was holding a hot water bottle in front of her and said anxiously, "Mammy, the young lady hasn't eaten a single bite of her breakfast today. What should we do?"

Nanny Li was born in the palace and has experienced a lot, so she is naturally more stable than others.

I touched the breakfast and found it was cold after a long time.

"Heat these up and bring them over later."

Since childhood, Yang Lan's diet has been the best in the mansion. Not only does the big kitchen always pick out the best to send to him, but Yang Lan's own farm has a good harvest, but he has never eaten "recycled" food.

But the current situation is tense, and the kitchen's purchases are half of what they usually are. Because of the martial law in the capital, the food from the farm cannot be delivered to the mansion for the time being.

As soon as she entered the room, Nanny Li looked at Yang Lan's thin back and felt very distressed. She had taken care of this young lady since she was a child, and now she was in such a low mood, how could she not feel distressed?

Putting the hot water bottle in Yang Lan's hand, Li Ma whispered, "Miss, there's a message from the palace that Princess Yuan Yi is summoning Miss Three to the palace tomorrow."

"There has been no excitement in the palace these days. I think Princess Yuanyi is a little bored and wants to talk to someone to relieve her boredom. If it weren't for Daddy's obstruction, I think..."

Yang Lan hadn't finished her words, but Nanny Li already knew the implication.

A year ago, the third young lady had the honor of saving Princess Yuan Yi on the road. Since then, the third young lady has won the favor of Princess Yuan Yi.

But the Duke was worried that the Third Miss's association with Princess Yuanyi would destroy the cooperation between the mansion and the Fifth Prince, so he sent the Third Miss to the farm on the pretext of "recuperating".

At the beginning, when Princess Yuanyi learned that the third young lady was "seriously ill", she specially asked someone to find a lot of precious medicinal herbs from the Imperial Hospital and send them to the farm.

I think, if the Duke and the old lady hadn't interfered, the relationship between Princess Yuanyi and the third lady wouldn't be like this now.

Now, Princess Yuanyi intends to regain their old friendship. Under the current circumstances, the old lady and the Duke will certainly be happy to see it happen.

"Speaking of which, this Third Miss is really lucky. She even got the title of 'The Princess's Savior' after this trip."

Seeing that the young lady was willing to speak, Nanny Li quickly continued the conversation.

At some point, a breeze blew past the window, slightly lifting the strands of hair on Yang Lan's forehead, adding a touch of artistic conception.

It is a pity that at this moment, even if there are people who want to enjoy the scenery, they do not have the leisure time to do so.

"Good fortune?"

Yang Lan smiled and repeated what Li Ma said, "I lost my mother when I was young, and my grandfather offended the emperor and died. My father never paid any attention to me. From every little detail, it seems that my third sister is not blessed."

Perhaps it was because Yang Lan, like Yang Qi, lost their mother at a young age, so Yang Lan could empathize with Yang Qi's situation to some extent.

However, Yang Lan knew that she was luckier than her third sister.

After all, his grandfather was still alive, and the power of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion was enough for him to live a carefree life in the Duke's Mansion.

There is no need to be as cautious and tread carefully as the third sister.

It's really ridiculous. Now, Yang Jing has become a motherless child just like himself and his third sister.

Looking at the fallen leaves scattered by the wind outside the window, Yang Lan said without changing his expression: "If the third sister can really win the favor of Princess Yuan Yi, I think it will be a good thing for her."

“Miss, if the Third Miss can marry Princess Yuan Yi, it will be a great help to her.

After all, in these years in the palace, I have seen too many examples of one person's success leading to the prosperity of the whole family."

A gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and Yang Lan closed her eyes: "Mammy, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Miss, I know you are worried about His Highness and Marquis Yongyi, but now, even if we worry until our hair turns white, it will be useless except for hurting ourselves.

In the ups and downs of officialdom, no one knows who the final winner will be until the last step. "

Speaking of which, if it were up to Nanny Li to say what the old lady and the Duke did today, even if they wanted to cover it up, it would not be able to conceal the Duke's Mansion's intention to play both sides.

Holding the hot water bottle in her hand, Yang Lan turned her head to look at Nanny Li beside her, her brows slightly furrowed. Could it be that the Fifth Prince still has a trump card to survive?

Yang Lan had already inquired from various sources and knew everything about the morning court session that day.

When the Fifth Prince abandoned Bai Qi and Nian Chuan, he did so without the slightest hesitation. Previously, Yang Lan had only believed that the Fifth Prince was determined to cut off his own tail. If we follow the current inference, it is possible that the Fifth Prince had a backup plan?

In fact, Yang Lan and Yang Qi received almost the same education since childhood, but Yang Qi established his own power in places that others had not noticed, and was well-versed in military strategies, history books, and medical books.

Yang Lan's talent is indeed rare, but he has been educated in the inner house since he was a child. Nowadays, even when he thinks about problems, he only starts from his home.

Yang Qi is quite different. Under the influence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Yang Qi always considers things from a more macro perspective.

Although the gap between the two was not obvious on the surface, it had already been widened.
