The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 394 The wedding date has been set, half a month later

Ever since An's body was sent to the manor, everyone in the Duke's Mansion seemed to have forgotten about it, and the word "An" became a taboo word that everyone refused to talk about.

Song Yangjing fell seriously ill because of An's death. The old lady said that the sixth lady should just stay in the courtyard and recuperate for the next few days and there was no need for her to come upstairs to pay her respects.

These days, at the old lady's instruction, Yang Qi went to Qinfang Courtyard much more frequently than before.

Because of An's death, the old lady was worried that Yang Lan was worrying too much, so she asked Yang Qi to look after Lan.

It has been sunny every day these days, but today, the capital city was hit by a rare torrential downpour.

Yang Lan and Yang Qi sat together in the Lanting Pavilion in Qinfang Courtyard. Seeing the rain outside, they put down the books in their hands and admired this rare rain scene.

It must be said that Qinfang Courtyard is indeed the most elegant courtyard in the Duke's Mansion, and it is very compatible with Yang Lan's daily preferences and habits.

Yang Lan sat upright in his seat, watching the raindrops falling outside. They landed on the lake surface and created ripples.

Looking at this scene, Yang Lan was in a very good mood. The depression that had been lingering in his heart these days, along with the hot weather in the past few days, were all wiped out by the sudden heavy rain.

Yu Lu came to Lanting carrying a food box and an umbrella. When she arrived at the pavilion, she quickly folded the umbrella and put it aside.

Mother Jin stepped forward, took the food box from Yu Lu, and joked, "The rain came so suddenly. It was sunny just now, but in a short while, the ground is full of water."

For some reason, Yang Qi looked at Yang Lan's expression at this moment and keenly noticed that Yang Lan was in a much better mood.

"Second sister, I went to Jishi Bookstore yesterday and found that the street was much busier than usual, and the screening was stricter than before." Yang Qi closed the travel notes in his hand and placed it on his lap.

While the two young ladies were chatting and laughing, Mother Jin took out the freshly baked snacks from the food boxes one by one and placed them on the stone table.

Although the pastries in Yang Lan's small kitchen are exquisitely made and taste good, Yang Lan has always had all kinds of delicious food since she was a child and has never been a greedy person.

Although Yang Qi was quite interested in these delicious foods, after being fed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince over the years, his taste had become much higher and he really didn't have much interest in the snacks in Yang Lan's room.

Looking at the rain curtain, Yang Lan curled her lips and said in a rare relaxed tone: "You are in a good mood. At this time, you still have the mind to go out to buy books."

Yang Qi held his face in his hands and said sleepily, "I've heard that Jishi Bookstore has received a lot of new books, all of which are of excellent quality. I finally got some free time, so I have to go and restock some."

Seeing the rain showing no sign of abating, Yang Qi couldn't help but yawn. To be honest, it's easy to feel sleepy on rainy days.

Yang Lan looked at Yang Qi, whose eyes were a little hazy, and said softly, "If you feel sleepy, just rest here for a while.

I’m afraid the rain today won’t stop for a while.”

Yu Lu had only walked the short distance from the kitchenette to Lanting, and she was holding an umbrella, so her clothes got quite wet.

If I go back to Linhu Courtyard at this time, I'm afraid even my underwear will be soaked.

Yang Qi moved his body a little and rubbed his face: "This weather is really suitable for sleeping."

Out of the corner of his eye, Yang Lan looked at Yang Qi, who was holding her face up again, and felt a little happy in her heart, because her third sister had loved reading since she was young.

These days, I have had some free time to sit here more often, but most of the time I spend reading.

"The wedding date for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Bai Yuxin has been set, and it will be in half a month, so the streets are naturally under martial law.

These days, if there is nothing urgent, you should stay in the house to catch up on your sleep and have a good rest, and don't leave the house casually."

Nowadays, the one who is in charge of the house is Xu. Given Xu's love for Yang Qi over the years, Xu usually agrees to whatever Yang Qi wants to do.

Yang Qi's sleepiness was suddenly broken by Yang Lan's words, and he quickly stood up: "Second sister, is this news true?"

These days, Yang Qi only knew that the Crown Prince's wedding ceremony would be held before the New Year, but he never thought that it was less than half a month away.

Yang Lan was the one carefully prepared by the Duke of Song's Mansion and the Marquis of Yongyi's Mansion to marry the Fifth Prince. Naturally, she had more channels for news in the palace than Yang Qi.

Over the years, the power and connections that Yang Qi secretly cultivated were mostly distributed throughout the Tianyuan Dynasty.

But Yang Lan is different. The people he has are all cultivated over many years by the Mansion of Marquis Yongyi and the Mansion of Duke Song. He just picked up a ready-made advantage. Most of these people are concentrated within the palace walls.

Yang Lan was a little surprised by Yang Qi's excited reaction and glanced at him subconsciously: "The court has not announced this matter to the public for the time being due to public security and other considerations.

However, the marriage is a done deal.

Xiaoqi, the marriage of the royal family is not as simple as that of ordinary people.

Once it is confirmed, unless the Bai family is confiscated or exterminated, the wedding must be held as scheduled for the sake of the royal family's reputation."

Yang Qi's surprise was fleeting, but Yang Lan did not miss the surprise in Yang Qi's eyes.

For some reason, Yang Lan always felt something was wrong, so he couldn't help but give a few more instructions.

Nanny Zhu behind him noticed Yang Qi's loss of composure and thought something was wrong.

These days, the relationship between the young lady and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has become increasingly close, but Nanny Zhu has no idea what the two are planning, and she doesn't dare to delve into it.

But even if the young lady's backer is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, once the affair between the two of them gets out, I'm afraid the young lady's reputation will be ruined for life.

Fortunately, Yang Qi recovered quickly and immediately asked in confusion: "Second sister, Bai Yuxin's wedding date is so close, how come she still has time to come to our house this time?"

At Yang Lan's last birthday party, although Yang Qi was delayed by the things happening in the main house, he did not miss anything that happened at the table. In particular, Han Chu was also at the table at that time and told him everything afterwards without omission.

The open and covert treachery between Bai Yuxin and Yang Lan was seen by everyone close to them at the table.

Han Chu felt strange for quite a few days.

Isn't this Sister Yang Lan always on good terms with Bai Yuxin? Why was the atmosphere so strange that day? Every word was like a sarcastic remark.

When it comes to Bai Yuxin, Yang Lan's face can't help but darken.

These days, Yang Lan has spent a lot of time trying to find out what exactly happened between him and Bai Yuxin.

As there was no result that day, Yang Lan felt a little worried.

Half a month later, Bai Yuxin became the high and mighty Crown Princess.

Even if Yang Lan were able to marry into the Fifth Prince's mansion one day, she would still have to bow and greet Crown Princess Bai Yuxin when she met her.
