The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 461: Overthrowing Aunt Yin (3)

Masters like Xu and Yang Qi naturally would not stay here to watch Aunt Yin being punished. Accompanied by Xu, Yang Qi turned around and walked towards the Linhu Courtyard without hesitation.

As soon as she entered the room, Xu waved her hand and asked the maids and servants in the room to retreat to the yard. Then she slightly straightened her face, stared at Yang Qi, and said slowly: "When did you know about the relationship between Aunt Yin and Xiao Ju?"

Since Xiaoju has done such a rebellious act against her master, even if Yangqi had done her some favors in the past, I'm afraid Xiaoju would not easily tell the truth.

As for what He's mother said today, Xu had some doubts in her heart.

As for the old lady and Song Hongwen, they probably didn't want to spend too much energy on today's matter, so they let the matter end so vaguely.

Yang Qi sighed helplessly and explained, “Second Aunt, it was actually Mother He who discovered that something was wrong with Xiaoju.

Mother He had learned some basic medical skills from my grandfather. She knew that smallpox was not contracted for no reason, but must have been caused by the involvement of other people.

However, during that period, I stayed in the yard all day, and even if I went upstairs occasionally, it was rare. But it was me who was inexplicably infected with smallpox. "

Yang Qi took a deep breath, as if she had let out all the depression in her heart, and then she said slowly: "So, Mother He became suspicious of the maids and servants in Linhu Courtyard.

After some investigation, it was discovered that Xiaoju and Aunt Yin had a very close relationship.

Later, the flower-sending incident happened again, and Mother He roughly guessed the clues. "

After listening to Yang Qi's story, Xu felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She quickly hugged Yang Qi tightly in her arms and said softly, "My good child, you have suffered so much these years!"

Yang Qi felt the warmth of Xu's embrace, tears welled up in her eyes, she choked and said, "Second Aunt, Yang Qi didn't mean to hide it from you.

But Yang Qi was still young at that time and had no ability to deal with these things.

And I don't have any solid evidence. If I rashly identify Aunt Yin, I'm afraid that not only will I not let her receive the punishment she deserves, but she will instead blame me for it."

Xu had been in charge of the Duke of Song's mansion for many years, so she naturally understood how difficult Yang Qi's situation was. She lost her mother when she was young, her grandmother didn't like her, and her father didn't care about her. In such an environment, how could the young Yang Qi have the strength to compete with Aunt Yin?

The more Xu thought about it, the more she regretted it. She regretted that she paid too little attention to Yang Qi back then. If she could care more about Yang Qi and pay more attention to Yang Qi, perhaps Yang Qi would not have suffered so much.

Sensing Xu's regret and discomfort, Yang Qi couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart. She hugged her second aunt tightly, as if this could convey some warmth and comfort.

Over the years, in the complex environment of Duke Song's Mansion, Yang Qi felt a lot of indifference and alienation, but only Second Aunt had always cared for her and given her endless warmth.

At the same time, Mother Rong gently put a headband on the old lady and said with concern: "Old lady, you have been busy all day, it's time to take a rest." The old lady nodded slightly, with a trace of fatigue on her face.

However, after listening to so many crying complaints this morning, she now felt as if someone was chattering in her ears, making her head buzz.

The old lady rubbed her temples, trying to relieve her headache, and then asked, "Has Aunt Yin's carriage set off yet?"

Mother Rong nodded and replied, "Yes, old lady. According to the Duke's instructions, after the beating, Concubine Yin was immediately sent to the farm. This old servant went to take a look, and her injuries were not light."

"Do you know which farm it was sent to?"

After a pause, Rong's mother replied, "It's Huaishuzhuang."

Although the Duke's Mansion has shown signs of decline, the family wealth is still there. There are many farms in the mansion, and the conditions vary greatly. However, Huaishu Farm is undoubtedly the one with the most difficult conditions among them, with a lack of medical care and medicine, and the annual grain output is very small.

After hearing this, the old lady was silent for a moment and slowly closed her eyes.

In the harem, jealousy between wives and concubines is common. In order to gain the favor of their husbands, women often resort to some tricks, which is understandable to a certain extent.

However, few people would attack the young masters and young ladies in the mansion, because this is the bottom line that everyone knows.

The old lady knew her son's temper very well. Judging from his style of behavior over the years, and the fact that he had sent the person to Huaishuzhuang, it was likely that Aunt Yin would be in great danger this time and would have a hard time surviving.

Thinking of this, the old lady couldn't help but sigh. Not only did her eldest son's career not go smoothly, but he also had many twists and turns in matters involving women. Not only did he lose three wives, but even this concubine was extremely scheming and ruthless.

Thinking of this, the old lady's headache started to ache again. Such a large Duke's Mansion couldn't be without a mistress.

But Song Hongwen's three wives had died in succession, and the reputation of "wife-killer" had probably been established in the minds of everyone in the imperial city. If he wanted to marry a wife of his dreams, it would be extremely difficult!

"Aunt Yin really has it all her own fault. For all these years, I didn't realize that she was such a sinister and cunning person with evil intentions!" The old lady frowned slightly, her tone revealing a hint of dissatisfaction and disappointment.

Mother Rong at the side could not help but sigh and said, "Who said it wasn't true? Aunt Yin always looks so weak and tender, speaks softly, and even dares not raise her head in front of others. Who would have thought that she is such a vicious person!

The Third Miss is so young, yet she is so cruel as to murder her!"

The old lady was silent for a while, and suddenly changed the subject: "However, today's incident has given me a new understanding of Yang Qi."

Upon hearing this, Rong's mother was stunned for a moment, then agreed, "Yes, old lady, this Third Miss is really a hidden talent!

She had long known that Aunt Yin had ill intentions towards her and wanted to murder her, but she had always kept it to herself until today when she caught the Fifth Miss with evidence, and then she revealed the matter.

Such scheming and cunning are truly impressive!"

The old lady nodded in agreement, and then said, "This girl usually looks well-behaved and sensible, but I didn't expect that she is also a person who can keep her composure.

Today's incident not only revealed the true face behind Aunt Yin's weakness, but also showed some of Yang Qi's abilities."

Mother Rong paused, as if she was at a loss for words. After a while, she slowly said, "That's true. What happened today really surprised everyone!"
