The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Unlike Yang Lan who tried every possible means to inquire around, Yang Qi, after coming out of the old lady's courtyard, walked towards Shi'an Courtyard on his own, ready to pay his respects to Mrs. Xu.

As soon as Mother Fan entered the upper room, she began to wonder in her heart that something was definitely wrong. Following Yang Qi and listening to Mother Rong's words, Mother Fan became more certain of her suspicions. The old lady had always been in good health. Yesterday, she was still chatting and laughing with the second young lady, and she asked the kitchen to be alert and prepare well for the second young lady's meals.

Mother Fan looked at Yang Qi. Since the Third Miss came out of the room, she looked normal. She didn't think carefully whether there was something wrong with the old lady's condition. At this time, she wondered if she needed to remind her. After thinking for a while, Mother Fan said, "Third Miss, the old lady has always been in good health, but this illness is a bit strange. Miss, do you want me to ask a few familiar people about it?"

Yang Qi knew that the old lady was not sick now, but she just locked herself in the room and didn't want to see anyone. This scene had been played out once in the previous life. In the previous life, my stepfather wrote a letter saying that he wanted to make An his wife. Wasn't it when I was four years old and it was almost the New Year? At that time, the old lady was so angry with my father that she stayed in the upper room until the New Year.

Yang Qi was told that if the old lady didn't want An to marry into the family, she should leave for the northwest right away and ensure that her adoptive father's marriage would not be successful.

In the previous life, Yang Qi was upset when she learned that her father was going to marry someone else. Song Hongwen was transferred to the post shortly after Yang Qi was born. Yang Qi had no impression of her biological father, but the people in the mansion, under the instruction of the old lady, had been bragging about how wise this Duke was. Over time, Yang Qi had a good impression of her biological father whom she had never met.

It's funny to say that Yang Qi has been looking forward to her father being transferred back to the capital as soon as possible since she was a child. Although she is in the Songguo Mansion with the support of her second aunt, she is always ignored by everyone. Listening to everyone's evaluation of Song Hongwen, Yang Qi couldn't help but start to look forward to being spoiled like a princess when her father was at home.

The father she had been waiting for so long was so cold to her. Even when she didn't want to marry Han Renyuan, Song Hongwen just gave her a white silk! That white silk had long severed the father-daughter relationship between Yang Qi and Song Hongwen.

In this life, Yang Qi knows that she can only rely on herself. She needs to respect Song Hongwen, a conceited person, but she cannot rely on him!

Yang Qi stopped and said to Mother Fan, "Mother Fan, didn't Mother Rong say that Grandma is ill? I will go to pay my respects to Grandma more often when the time comes. If you go and ask around and let Grandma know, she will probably be unhappy."

Mother Fan thought that the third girl was really a child and thought too simply. However, since the master had spoken, Mother Fan would naturally not say anything more: "Okay, Miss."

When they arrived at Shi'an Courtyard, Xu was also furious. Yang Qi found it a little funny. Everyone knew that someone of An's status could not be married as a principal wife. His cheap father was really speechless.

Yang Qi entered the room, bowed to Mrs. Xu, and said, "Yang Qi greets Second Aunt."

Looking at Yang Qi, Xu's ugly expression eased a little and she helped Yang Qi up. This poor child lost his mother at birth, but his father didn't care about him at all. Yang Qi has grown up so big, and her eldest uncle is really a bastard. And An is the daughter of a businessman. With such a mother, Yang Lan and Yang Qi will be looked down upon in the eyes of good families. This marriage will be very detrimental to the development of the two children!

Holding Yang Qi in her arms, Xu said, "It's rare for Mr. Yang to have a day off, why don't you take a good rest!"

Yang Qi hugged Xu and said, "I heard from Mother He that you, Second Aunt, have been so busy these days that you don't even have time to drink water. Yang Qi feels sorry for you and wants to come and see you more often."

Yang Qi's words made Xu feel comfortable, and she said, "Second Aunt knows that Yang Qi is thoughtful."

Yang Qi smiled at Xu and said, "Second Aunt, Yang Qi is young now. When Yang Qi grows up, he can help Second Aunt and Auntie, and Second Auntie won't have to work so hard. At least, give Second Auntie more time to drink water."

Yang Qi's words instantly made Xu laugh. She hugged Yang Qi and laughed, "Haha, Yang Qi, you are such a smart kid. You know how to help Second Auntie at this time! By the way, how is your herbal medicine shop business recently?"

Yang Qi was no longer happy when she mentioned the Guangming Pharmacy. She said in a depressed tone, "Second Aunt, this herbal medicine shop has just opened, so naturally there is not much business now."

Xu rubbed Yang Qi's head and said, "This herbal medicine shop has its own special features. If Zong Yue is a good doctor, even if his medical skills are inferior, this shop will eventually make a profit. It's just a matter of time."

Yang Qi listened to what Xu said and nodded.

When she first saw Yang Qi, Xu deliberately put away her sorrow. As she talked to Yang Qi, her sorrow was dispelled a lot. She continued, "Yang Qi, you have to remember that now that you have taken over this shop, you must remember to check it frequently to prevent your subordinates from having thoughts that they shouldn't have and doing things that they shouldn't do. Also, you must clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments when doing things. If your subordinates do a good job, you must remember to reward them with something. It can be a one-time reward of more silver or an increase in their wages. But if they do something wrong, they must be punished. How and how much it will be depends on the specific situation."

Yang Qi felt that what Xu said was truly profound and wise. In Xu's arms, Yang Qi wanted to prick up her ears and listen, for fear of missing a word.

As soon as Xu finished speaking, the maid outside came in and said, "Second Madam, the housekeeper is here to report on matters."

Hearing this, Yang Qi came out of Xu's arms, bowed, and said, "Second Aunt, you are busy. Yang Qi will go back first."

After Yang Qi left, Fang's mother whispered in Xu's ear, "Madam, the third young lady has no experience. It may not be easy for this shop to make a profit."

Xu nodded and said, "I've already thought about it. If Yang Qi loses money, I will pay for it."

Mother Fang smiled and said, "Madam really loves this child." Mother Fang grew up with Madam Xu and knew Madam Xu's character very well. She knew that her madam was a kind-hearted person and if she treated others well, she did so from the bottom of her heart.

Xu said to Fang Mama, "Let the housekeeper come in. If we don't start early, these things may not be finished before dinner tonight."
