The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 436: A Turning Point in the Duke's Mansion

The news that the Third Miss was staying in the palace with Princess Yuanyi reached the Duke's Mansion before dinner.

"Have all the people in the palace been sent out?" The old lady sat comfortably on the couch and said to Mother Rong who came in from outside.

"Madam, the aunt in the palace has been sent out of the house."

Originally, I only knew that the third young lady had won the favor of Princess Yuanyi, and it was a rare blessing for her to be able to enter the palace to chat with her, but I never thought that she would be able to stay in the palace for a while.

You know, entering the palace to talk and staying overnight in the palace are not the same thing.

Princess Yuanyi could indeed allow the children of ministers to enter the palace to talk, but they must have the permission of the Empress Dowager to stay overnight in the palace.

The old lady subconsciously picked up the tea bowl on the low table, but as soon as her fingertips touched it, she felt a slight chill.

"Although this tea bowl is placed in a warm room, it will get cold after a long time."

Mother Rong understood and said to the other maids in the room, "They are all so heartless. They didn't even change the old lady's tea when it got cold. Why don't you all go back?"

After saying this, Mother Rong hurriedly poured out the tea at the old lady's hand and replaced it with hot tea.

"How is Miss Lan now?" The old lady asked after all the maids and old women in the room had left.

"The second young lady is currently reviewing her lessons, but she hasn't had lunch yet."

The second young lady has always been calm, but she was a little impatient in the morning because of the incident at the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion.

Over the years, the old lady has always placed high hopes on the second young lady and has always left the third young lady to her own devices. The reason for this is, firstly, that the second young lady is indeed extremely talented and has outstanding looks, and secondly, because the second young lady has the Yongyi Marquis Mansion behind her, but the third young lady's biological mother, the Gu family, has long been notorious.

Now that the situation has changed, Mother Rong couldn't figure out what the old lady was thinking for a moment, so she had to reply carefully.

If it were in the past, Yang Lan, as the old lady's treasure, would definitely send someone to check on her if she didn't eat lunch.

However, now, the old lady just frowned slightly and said nothing more.

In the side room, although Yang Lan was holding a book in his hand, he could not understand a single word.

If it weren't for Nanny Li's repeated persuasion, Yang Lan wouldn't be able to do it even if she pretended to hold the book.

Seeing Nanny Li coming into the room with a frown on her face, Yang Lan closed the book and asked anxiously, "Mammy, what's the situation now?"

With the old lady's tacit approval and the help of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion, Yang Lan has his own source of information in the Duke's Mansion, and can usually be the first to know the news from the outside world.

However, success and failure are both due to Xiao He. Now something happened in the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion, and the old lady was deliberately preventing Yang Lan from knowing the news from the outside world. Yang Lan was shocked to realize that the information network he thought was perfect was so fragile. The old lady made a slight move, and he was like a headless fly, unable to find a way out.

Nanny Li shook her head and said, "The old lady has said that we cannot leave the mansion now. There is no way to know the news of the Yongyi Marquis's mansion. However, someone has come to the palace, and the third young lady has been kept in the palace today. I am afraid she will have to stay for a while."

Holding the book tightly in his hand, Yang Lan smiled bitterly: "Now, my third sister and I have turned the tables."

Although Yang Qi grew up with her since childhood, she treated her much closer than other sisters.

Yang Lan has always been happy to see Yang Qi's strengths, but now, the time is right, Yang Lan is really not satisfied with himself.

On the other side, in the study, Song Hongwen was surprised to hear the news from the servant: "My third girl is silent, but she is working quietly."

In recent years, with the deliberate help of the Emperor, the Fifth Prince has been fighting with the Crown Prince in the court, and Concubine Hua has also been competing with the Queen in the harem.

Now, the Fifth Prince has lost many capable ministers in succession, and what is more serious is that he has lost the trust of the Emperor.

Originally, Song Hongwen had a hard time these days because of the closeness between Lan girl and the fifth prince and the incidents that happened one after another in the Yongyi Marquis's mansion. But he never expected that the third girl had unknowingly won the favor of the Queen.

For a while, these three girls became the turning point of the Duke's Mansion.
