The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 457 Confrontation (3)

The old lady stared at Yang He's pale face and couldn't help sighing in her heart: "Innocent? I really hope you can have such a quality!"

Over the years, although the old lady valued Yang Lan and Yang Qi more, deep down in her heart she also hoped that Yang He could find a suitable husband and become Yang Lan's right-hand man in the future.

However, at this moment, when she saw Yang He's expression, the old lady felt a chill in her heart.

After all, in the Duke of Song's mansion, although the young masters and young ladies are divided into legitimate and illegitimate children, they are always in a relationship where they prosper and suffer together.

In the current situation, if Yang Qi can gain the favor of the Queen, even if she cannot marry the Crown Prince in the end, she will definitely be able to find a pretty good husband.

If Yang Qi could marry into a rich family, it would not only be a blessing for the Dukedom, but also a blessing for Yang He.

It's a pity that Yang He is almost reaching the age of marriage, but her vision is still so narrow. She only focuses on competing with her sisters for favor. It is really disappointing and she is unable to take on big responsibilities!

Aunt Yin looked at the old lady with worry, her face became increasingly gloomy, and her disappointment was evident in her words.

The embroiderers standing by were shivering like fallen leaves in the wind, and it seemed they might collapse to the ground at any time.

Aunt Yin was shocked and realized that the situation might be worse than she thought.

So, she quickly reached out and grabbed Yang He who was standing beside her, and said in a hurried voice: "Fifth Miss, I know that you must be feeling bad recently because you are worried about your father and the Duke's Mansion.

Maybe it was an impulse that made you do something foolish. But fortunately, the old lady and the second lady are here. If you really did something wrong, confess to your grandmother now, maybe there is still room for redemption!

Fifth Miss, you must not be confused at this time!"

As Aunt Yin spoke, she tightly grasped Yang He's shoulders, as if trying to make her understand the seriousness of the matter in this way.

She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Yang He would listen to her and not go further down the wrong path.

At this moment, Aunt Yin knew very well that with the Old Madam and Mrs. Xu being so smart, they must have already figured out the whole story.

Now, apart from asking Yang He to admit his mistakes, there is probably no better way. Moreover, judging from the situation, Bicao may not be able to withstand the torture.

Therefore, no matter what, Yang He must not continue to act on her own at this critical juncture and go down this path to the end!

Yang Qi watched Aunt Yin trying hard to give Yang He some hints. As expected of an aunt who had worked in the mansion for many years, Yang He was far inferior to Aunt Yin in terms of recognizing the situation and observing people's words and expressions.

Perhaps Aunt Yin's words had an effect, Yang He suddenly seemed to have lost all her strength, she collapsed to the ground, her body trembling slightly. Her eyes were filled with tears, revealing deep fear and regret.

"Grandma, this is all my fault!" Yang He said in a trembling voice, crying, "I shouldn't have been jealous of my third sister, and I shouldn't have let anyone put drugs in her clothes. I almost ruined my third sister's plan."

Aunt Yin listened to Yang He's confession and felt a little relieved. She secretly felt lucky that Yang He had only drugged her. Judging from the looks of Xu and Yang Qi, no irreversible consequences should have been caused.

In this way, as long as the Fifth Miss is scolded a few words by the Old Lady and the Duke, this matter may be resolved smoothly.

Seeing this, the old lady snorted coldly, expressing her dissatisfaction with Yang He's behavior.

She turned her head and gave a wink to Mother Rong, who understood and immediately walked out of the house quickly to stop the servants who were torturing Bicao.

"Do you think these maids and embroiderers will help you conceal it?" The old lady said sternly, "Here is the confession of the waiter in the herbal medicine shop. Take a look for yourself and see if there is any injustice against you!"

After saying that, the old lady threw the confession that Xu had handed to her before in front of Yang He. It was already an irrefutable evidence that could prove Yang He's guilt.

Yang He was terrified at this moment, she knew that this confession was like a deadly poison, and if she was not careful, she would fall into an irretrievable situation. Therefore, she did not dare to make any unnecessary moves at this critical moment, and could only avoid it as if it were a plague.

"Grandma, it's my granddaughter who's been possessed by a ghost. Third sister, it's my sister who made a mistake." Yang He suddenly changed her tone and cried to Yang Qi with tears on her face. Her voice was full of regret and self-blame, as if she really realized her mistake.

However, Yang Qi was indifferent to Yang He's performance. She watched Yang He's performance coldly, feeling extremely disgusted with her hypocrisy and affectation.

Xu was watching Yang He begging pitifully, and her anger grew stronger. She thought, Yang He had done something wrong, but now she was acting like this, was she trying to use Yang Qi's sympathy to kidnap her and make her forgive herself?

Yang Qi's gaze fell on the old lady's face, and she noticed that the old lady's expression seemed to relax slightly.

Yang Qi sighed inwardly. She knew that her grandmother only cared about how much benefit the people in the mansion could bring to the mansion. This incident did not have much impact on the mansion, so the old lady naturally would not punish Yang He harshly in front of everyone.

However, Yang Qi did not expect to completely solve the problem between Yang He and Aunt Yin through this incident.

She knew very well that this was just the beginning of today's struggle.

Yang Qi was not the only one who noticed that the old lady was showing signs of relaxation. Aunt Yin also noticed this. After a moment's thought, she mustered up her courage and said softly, "Old lady, Miss Fifth is still young and may not understand some things. Please, old lady, for her young age and ignorance..."

However, before she could finish her words, Yang Qi suddenly interrupted and said, "Aunt Yin, Fifth Sister, Yang Qi doesn't know when and where I offended you, and you are so cruel to me again and again!"

Yang Qi's face was frighteningly pale, as if she would fall down if the wind blew. Although her voice was a little trembling, it was full of anger and grievance.

When Xu heard Yang Qi's words, her heart tightened. She quickly grabbed Yang Qi's hand and asked anxiously, "Yang Qi, have you suffered any other grievances before? You must tell me everything today. With mother here, I will never let you suffer any grievances!"

The old lady's expression also became extremely ugly. She frowned tightly, and her sharp eyes fell directly on Yang Qi, waiting for Yang Qi to continue speaking.
