The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

After the Lantern Festival, Mr. Yang entered the mansion early in the morning.

Jing Shan received Yang Qi's order and kept a close eye on Mr. Yang's every move.

Back at the Linhu Courtyard, Yang Qi was reading in the room, and Jing Shan was grinding ink beside him: "Miss, Mr. Yang went to the upper room first when he entered the house. He stayed in the upper room for about a quarter of an hour before returning to Wutong Courtyard."

Yang Qi turned a page of the book: "I understand."

Before I finished reading this page, the maidservant beside the old lady came to pass on a message: "Miss San, the old lady wants you to go to the upper room."

Putting down the book, Yang Qi shook her head helplessly. It seemed that Mr. Yang was still unwilling to accept her as a disciple, even though she worked so hard. In her previous life, Yang Lan was able to become a qualified queen, which was closely related to Mr. Yang's teachings. In this life, after following Mr. Yang for just a few months, she has made great progress.

No, you must study with Mr. Yang. Mr. Yang is the best educational resource that the Duke of Song’s Mansion can hire.

Yang Qi turned to Jing Shan and said, "Jing Shan, go tell them. I'll change my clothes and come over."

Today, Yang Qi had already prepared for the old lady's visit, and had asked Mother He to comb her hair early in the morning. Now all she had to do was change her clothes.

Jing Shan agreed and left. This time, she had guessed what Mr. Yang said to the old lady.

Jing Shan has been serving the old lady in the upper room since she was a child. She knows Yang Lan a little bit. She is smart and clever, and is deeply loved by the old lady. This time, if Mr. Yang really chooses one of the two, the third lady's hope is really slim. Well, I just hope that Mr. Yang can give her some leniency because she is so hardworking and studious. The third lady's enthusiasm for studying is even greater than that of the second lady. Even she is very touched when she sees it, and she hopes that it can also touch Mr. Yang.

When they arrived at the upper house, the old lady was already sitting there. Yang Qi took a deep breath and then went into the house.

The old lady saw that Yang Qi looked calm, since she didn't know about this at that time, so she took a sip of tea and said, "Third girl, Mr. Yang has been unwell recently, so the mansion has already selected a new husband for you and the fifth girl."

Even though Yang Qi was prepared, his heart still beat faster when he heard the old lady's words. Mr. Yang has always been in good health, so how could he feel uncomfortable? This is just an excuse to get rid of him. The old lady's words were just to save her some dignity.

Yang Qi lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes: "Grandma, I want to study with Mr. Yang. I really like Mr. Yang's lectures on The Analects and Hundred Family Names. What he said is much deeper than I can understand. Grandma, can you help me ask Mr. Yang for help? I really want to study with Mr. Yang."

Mr. Yang is very knowledgeable. Following him, I can not only learn quickly but also learn deeply. Not to mention the ability of the teacher that the old lady hired later, I can only study by myself during this period of time, but how can I learn anything and acquire any ability by self-study?

The old lady did not ask Mr. Yang for mercy. When Mr. Yang came this morning, the old lady tactfully expressed her hope to take Yang Qi with her. After all, Yang Qi's efforts and progress during this period of time were obvious to all. However, Mr. Yang's attitude was very firm, and the old lady could not insist and broke Mr. Yang's rules.

The old lady sighed and said, "Third girl, you have also heard about Mr. Yang's temper and teaching methods. Don't worry, grandma will find a very knowledgeable female teacher in the capital to teach you."

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, the tears that had been welling up in Yang Qi's eyes fell: "Grandma, I don't yearn to be able to become Mr. Yang's disciple. I just want to cherish this opportunity to learn. Or, I will just follow my second sister and listen. I won't interrupt, and I don't need Mr. Yang to teach me. Everything will be based on my second sister's progress." Then, Yang Qi knelt on the ground.

Yang Qi's words shocked the old lady. How could this little girl say such a thing? If the little girl was not only four years old, she would have doubted her purpose.

After hesitating for a while, the old lady spoke up: "Third girl, you have to know that the key to this matter is not me. If you want Mr. Yang to accept you, it can only be done if Mr. Yang agrees."

Yang Qi wiped the tears from her face and said, "Grandma, I will go find Mr. Yang right away. Thank you for showing me the way." Yang Qi stood up in a hurry, but she moved too quickly and staggered a bit. Fortunately, she did not fall.

The old lady looked at Yang Qi's actions and shook her head. With such an impatient look, there was no way she could convince Mr. Yang.

As the old lady's confidant, Rong's mother naturally understood what the old lady meant and added water to her teacup: "Old lady, don't worry. Miss Three will learn from Nanny in the future, and she will naturally understand the rules. Nanny Zhu came from the palace."

The old lady picked up the teacup and said, "This time, the second daughter-in-law was able to invite Nanny Zhu, and it took some effort and energy."

Mother Rong nodded at the side: "The Second Madam is really good to the Third Miss. Old Madam, I'm afraid that if the Third Miss comes to the Second Madam this time, the Second Madam will definitely come forward."

The old lady took a sip of water and said, "It would be best if Mr. Yang could take the third girl in as well. In this way, the third girl can also help the second girl in the future. As for whether the second daughter-in-law asks for it, that is not the key. The key to this matter is whether the third girl can convince Mr. Yang."

Mother Rong was a little surprised. The old lady's words seemed to indicate that Miss Three had the ability to convince Mr. Yang. Mr. Yang had never taught two subjects at the same time.

The news that Mr. Yang chose to teach only Yang Lan spread quickly in the mansion, and Yang He and Aunt Yin also heard the news.

After hearing what Xing'er said, Yang He shook the sachet she had just embroidered in her hand, feeling somewhat proud: "I thought that blockhead Song Yangqi had some strengths, but I didn't expect that he would be kicked out by Mr. Yang in less than half a year."

Aunt Yin listened to Yang He's words, waved her hand, and hurriedly asked the maids and old women around her to retreat: "Fifth Miss, even in your own courtyard, you must be careful about your words and actions."

Yang He didn't want to continue this topic: "I don't know when Daddy will be back. An is about to give birth."

Anshi, Anshi, when Aunt Yin heard this name, she felt angry. Recently, the people she sent out were bribed by Anshi one after another. This Anshi was really not a simple person. She had been deceived by her before.

As soon as An came to Song Hongwen's side, Yin Yi Niang placed people there, and everything went smoothly. Yin Yi Niang naturally thought that An was stupid. Unexpectedly, as soon as she became the legal wife, she began to clean up the people around her. It seems that An had already figured out which people she had placed there when she took action.
