The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 81 Mid-Autumn Festival Ceremony

Mother Fang was very upset by what the lady said, and quickly picked up the gift list and looked at it carefully. This, the Duke is a bit too much! The second young lady's gift actually had two large boxes, and they were all extraordinary things. It was obvious that they were carefully selected by the father. But the third young lady didn't have any, not a single one!

Mother Fang put down the list of gifts and said, "Madam, I should say something wrong. Miss Three is from the eldest house after all. We have no say in how the Duke treats Miss Three."

How could Xu not know the logic behind this? She waved her hand and said, "Put everything in place and send them to each courtyard." She felt annoyed just by leaving them in front of her.

Mother Fang took the gift list and left.

Yang Lan soon learned that this time her father and An had only given her a holiday gift, so she immediately went to find the old lady.

Supporting the old lady, Yang Lan said, "Grandma, I have received the festival gift prepared by my father, but my third sister has not received it."

The old lady sat on the chair: "What are your plans?"

Yang Lan did not hesitate: "Grandma, if there is one, everyone should have it. If not, no one should give it away. Otherwise, grandma, please tell mother." The mother Yang Lan was referring to was naturally An.

Some time ago, An gave birth to a daughter, which greatly disappointed Song Hongwen, who had been looking forward to a son for a long time. During this period, Song Hongwen not only ignored this daughter, but also did not even give her a name. Of course, An was the one who suffered the most from these things.

As for the Duke Song's Mansion, everyone was calm. Aunt Yin was happy for a long time after hearing the news. As long as An didn't give birth to a son, everything would be fine. Xu didn't comment on this. In fact, Xu didn't care about the title in the mansion. In her heart, as long as Yang Qing, Yang Qi and Yang Yao were happy and safe, that was enough.

The old lady looked at Yang Lan and nodded, "I'll take care of this matter." Yang Lan was a junior, and if he rashly told his father and mother about these things, it would be bad if someone with ulterior motives saw it. Moreover, her eldest son had been acting more and more deviantly recently. If Yang Lan spoke at this time, her son might vent his anger on Yang Lan.

Watching Yang Lan walk out the door and walk towards the courtyard entrance, the old lady felt a little empty in her heart. After all, this was a child she had raised for seven years, and she was still not used to moving out so suddenly.

Mother Rong saw that the old lady had a strange expression on her face and said, "Old lady, what An did was really inappropriate." Mother Rong didn't dare to say that Duke Song was wrong, and she had to put the blame on An.

The old lady was somewhat helpless: "This Anshi and the eldest brother don't take the third girl seriously."

Mother Rong sighed, "Madam, no matter what, this Third Young Miss is studying under Mr. Yang and is Bai Yuxin's junior sister. In the whole capital, only Prime Minister Bai's eldest daughter and the two young ladies in our mansion have this honor."

There are a few things that Rong's mother is not comfortable saying openly, that is, according to the current development of the third young lady, the husband she marries will not necessarily be inferior to the Duke's Mansion, and will definitely become a very strong helper for the second young lady. Now the Duke and An are acting like this, which is to stir up resentment between the second young lady and the third young lady, which is very disadvantageous to the mansion. How could the Duke act so inappropriately in the past few years since he took office?

What Mother Rong was thinking was exactly what the old lady was thinking. She, as the eldest daughter, had too narrow a vision.

The news soon reached Linhu Courtyard. Everyone in the court felt sorry for Yang Qi, except Yang Qi, the person involved. He didn't care at all and just continued to do what he was supposed to do.

Nanny Zhu looked at Yang Qi's indifferent expression and thought something was wrong. After entering the house, Nanny Zhu asked, "I heard from people in the courtyard that the Duke and his wife sent Mid-Autumn Festival gifts today, but they only prepared some for the second young lady. Is that true or not?"

Yang Qi looked at Nanny Zhu, who was as serious as usual, put down the book, and nodded: "Nanny Zhu, it is indeed true."

Yang Qi spoke calmly, without a trace of resentment, but Nanny Zhu knew that Yang Qi had a lot of resentment towards the Duke. If she was not heartbroken, why would she not be so upset when facing the different treatment from her father?

Without expectations, there is no disappointment. Yang Qi is only five years old. It is of no benefit to her to have resentment towards the Duke. Nanny Zhu said, "Yang Qi, the Duke has ignored you for so many years. Do you have resentment in your heart?"

Nanny Zhu's words startled Yang Qi. She thought she had behaved well enough, but she saw through her. Disrespecting one's father is unfilial, which is a serious sin. If it gets out, her reputation will be ruined. "Nanny Zhu, I don't hate her. My second sister has been very intelligent and beautiful since she was a child. If I were her father, I would like her more. I've gotten used to it since I was a child."

Nanny Zhu didn't expect Yang Qi to say such straightforward words: "Since the Duke has given you life, no matter how he treats you in the future, you must remember your father's kindness."

Seeing Yang Qi's stern face, Nanny Zhu sighed, "Ah. If the king orders his subject to die, the subject must die. If the father orders his son to die, the son must die. Yang Qi, you need to understand the truth. If one day, the father can no longer tolerate his children, then the children will be the only ones to suffer."

Nanny Zhu knew that Yang Qi was trying her best to cover up and be a good girl. However, she could see the key point of Yang Qi's current behavior, and the old lady and the Duke would definitely notice it.

Even if they don't react to this now, they think that Yang Qi is still young and can't threaten their interests. If one day, Yang Qi and their interests conflict, then the old lady and the Duke will abandon Yang Qi at the first opportunity. Yang Qi must pay attention to this matter.

Nanny Zhu’s words shocked Yang Qi’s mind. He felt a little panicked and his heart beat faster unconsciously.

Nanny Zhu looked at Yang Qi who was lowering his head and said seriously, "Lift your head, Yang Qi, remember, no matter what time it is, you must remain calm and hold your head high. Otherwise, not only will you appear petty, but you will also be considered low-class."

Although Nanny Zhu's words were serious, they made Yang Qi calm down unconsciously. Yang Qi knew that Nanny Zhu was reminding him that he had thought too simply before. The old lady had experienced three generations of Dukes, and her eyes were so sharp. He was obsessed with it and fell into his own dead end.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Qi tried to calm herself down, regain her normal look, and said with a smile: "Today, Yang Qi thanks Nanny Zhu for her advice."

Looking at Yang Qi's performance, Nanny Zhu nodded. This was the right way. Only in this way could she get along better in the Duke of Song's Mansion.
