Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 105 Someone sneaked into the Duke’s Mansion?

Song Jinyue returned to Mingzhuxuan and asked Grandma Yuan to tell the maids not to step out of Mingzhuxuan if they had nothing to do recently.

After all, the Duke of Song's condition cast a layer of gloom over the Duke's mansion.

Song Jinyue was thinking about this matter in the room. Next, the Duke's Mansion still had many things to deal with.

After Qiu Yun came back, she went straight to her lady's house, opened the door and walked in, "Miss, Aunt Shen said she would come on time to keep the appointment."

Song Jinyue nodded slightly and responded.

He also remembered the two maids sent by Mingzhuxuan Shen family, and said: "Let Chunchan and Yunxing go to my mother's house to serve me, as a way of fulfilling my filial duty for my mother."

"Yes, my maid will do it now."

Song Jinyue wanted to send the two of them away temporarily. There were many things going on at the moment, so it was not very convenient for them to stay in Mingzhuxuan.

But she didn't want to let them go easily.

Chun Chan and Yun Xing didn't want to go. They had already heard that the Duke of Guo was injured, and now that Ms. Shen had passed out, they guessed that the Duke of Guo might have been seriously injured this time.

But the two of them did not dare to disobey the second lady's instructions, so they had no choice but to do so.

But who would have thought that when they went to Shen's courtyard, Aunt Zhao saw the two of them, and immediately frowned and asked them to go back and wait for them.

The two of them were pushing each other, and no one was willing to take the lead.

The two of them could not enter Shen's courtyard, and were afraid that they would not be able to reply when they returned to Ming Zhuxuan, so they sat in the garden and rested until the sun set over the western mountains and the neon glow filled the sky.

The two of them then got up and headed towards Mingzhuxuan.

Song Jinyue watched the two return and knew for a moment that it would be difficult to separate them.

He simply asked Nanny Yuan to cook a pot of ginseng and black-bone chicken soup so that everyone in Mingzhuxuan could have a bowl.

Dudu added drowsy medicine to Chunchan and Yunxing's bowls.

Qiu Yun went to deliver it in person and watched the two of them use it.

Then he withdrew.

Later, Qiu Yun lay down by the window and looked at the movement in the house. She saw that the two of them were sleeping very deeply. Even if there was thunder outside, it would be difficult to wake them up.

After everything was settled, she returned to resume her life.

Song Jinyue sent Ming Zhuxuan's maid to rest early.

He also asked Nanny Yuan to just close the door ajar.

When the time came, Qiu Yun was waiting at the gate.

Song Jinyue sat in the room and waited.

At the end of Haishi, Nanny Shen came to find her.

Qiu Yun brought people into the house and then closed the door.

Aunt Shen bowed, and Song Jinyue motioned for Aunt Shen to take a seat.

"I don't know, the second young lady is looking for the old slave today, but for what purpose?" Aunt Shen laughed with her, feeling uneasy and asked tentatively.

Although she already had some speculations in her mind, she couldn't make up her mind.

The Duke of Guo was injured during the day and returned home. Everyone in the Duke's Mansion was in panic. There was a rumor from the mother-in-law that the Duke of Guo was probably injured more seriously this time.

Everyone can't help but worry about the future of the Duke's Palace. After all, no legitimate son has been born in the Duke's Palace. If the Duke really passes away, the title of the Duke's Palace will have to be returned.

Working as an errand in the Duke's mansion is very different from working as an errand in an ordinary wealthy family nearby.

"I think Aunt Shen must have heard about my father's injury today."

Song Jinyue played with Dankou on her fingertips, her voice soft and shallow.

Aunt Shen nodded naturally and replied: "I heard about it, I wonder if the Duke is still well now?"

Everyone in the mansion had different opinions about the Duke's injury.

For a moment no one could tell the truth from the lie.

Song Jinyue chuckled lightly and replied: "Father is fine, I'm sorry to ask Grandma Shen to take care of him."

Aunt Shen was polite again.

Song Jinyue then asked about the purpose of visiting Aunt Shen today, "It just so happened that my father's horse was frightened today. I wonder if Aunt Shen knows what strange things happened in the house these past two days?"

Grandma Shen's eyes sank. Seeing the second young lady asking about this matter, she lowered her eyes and thought for a moment.

Song Jinyue looked at Qiu Yun and motioned her to take out the silver coins that she had prepared earlier. She saw that Qiu Yun was holding a silver ingot worth ten taels in her hand. Qiu Yun handed the silver ingot into the hands of Aunt Shen.

Aunt Shen pretended to decline, then she accepted the silver ingot, put it in her arms, and laughed twice.

"Everything has been normal lately, but there is one thing that I don't know whether to talk about or not."

Aunt Shen couldn't help but frown.

"Don't worry, mama, what you said to me will never spread." Song Jinyue promised.

Seeing this, Aunt Shen continued: "It's strange to say that the old lady orders people to go out to buy desserts for Aunt Tian every day, but yesterday the maid who went out to buy desserts beside the old lady brought a man in.

At the Duke's Mansion, the old slave came forward to interrogate him, but the maid said that he was a guest invited by the old lady..."

Song Jinyue frowned slightly, raised her hand to rub the center of her eyebrows, and asked, "What happened next?"

"The old slave counted the time. The man stayed in the Duke's Mansion for a full two hours. However, when the man left, the maid in the old lady's courtyard did not come to see him off. The old slave looked at the man's expression.

A little panicked."

Aunt Shen told everything she knew.

"Mom, do you still remember what that man looks like?"

Aunt Shen nodded, and then slowly said, "Looking at her age, she is about forty, with a bloated body, wearing coarse clothes, and a cold look on her face. She seems to be a difficult master to deal with."

"Is there more?"

Aunt Shen couldn't help but shook her head, and there was nothing else to say.

Song Jinyue asked Qiu Yun to send Grandma Shen out in person. She walked to the writing desk, spread a piece of rice paper on the desk, and copied the appearance of Grandma Shen just described with her pen.

After the ink dried, she slowly rolled up the rice paper, tied it with a red ribbon, and placed it on the table.

I just have to wait until tomorrow to go to Zhang Mansion and ask my aunt to send someone to search secretly.

When Qiu Yun came back, Song Jinyue had already rested.

In the early morning of the next day, Song Jinyue thought that Mrs. Shen was currently ill, so she planned to pay her respects to Mrs. Shen when she returned from her aunt's house.

But who would have thought that before stepping out of the room, Grandma Yuan came back to report, "Second Miss, Madam went to Aunt Tian's courtyard to make a fuss. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Song Jinyue pursed her lips, feeling that she had no patience for Ms. Shen.

But I have to worry about my father's health. Let's put aside the grudges now. My father's health is particularly important.

"Well, I'll go take a look."

Song Jinyue handed the scroll to Qiu Yun and asked her to put it away before heading to Aunt Tian's yard.

Before I even stepped through the door, I heard a lot of noise in the courtyard.

Song Jinyue frowned and walked in with heavy steps.

Since her father returned from injury yesterday, the old lady has not shown up, and Song Jinxi only sent her personal maid to inquire about it.

Stepping into the courtyard, he saw Aunt Tian in a green shirt kneeling in the courtyard. Mrs. Shen stood in front of Aunt Tian, ​​with disdain on her face and repeated accusations: "I want to go in to see the Duke, you

If you stop me again, I will sell you out of my house!"
