Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 16 The Stage

Just as she was about to cry, Mrs. Shen gave a wink to Aunt Zhao behind her. Aunt Zhao understood and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Yun Xing away. Yun Xing hurriedly struggled, but Aunt Zhao glared at her. She then became timid.

Close your lips.

Qiu Yun had already helped the young lady to stand up. Song Jinyue straightened her skirt, then bowed to Mrs. Shen and called "Mother".

Today, Mrs. Shen wore a dark purple skirt with flowers and brocades embroidered with gold thread. Since Shen entered the Duke's Mansion, she prefers flowers and brocades to all her clothes and items in all seasons.

She originally lived in the outer courtyard and disliked flowers and flowers the most. But she finally got over it. After Mrs. Zhang died, she finally legitimately entered the Duke's mansion and became the mistress of the family.

Things that I disliked in the past are now becoming more and more loved the more I look at them.

"Yue'er, why didn't your eldest sister go back home with you?" Mrs. Shen looked at Song Jinyue's expression carefully, trying to glean something from her expression.

Song Jinyue looked like she was suddenly enlightened, and then she slowly replied: "Eldest sister said she wanted to walk around in the city, so I went back home alone. I think she will go back home soon. Mother, don't worry, eldest sister has always been lucky.

excellent."

The smile on Mrs. Shen's face almost didn't stop, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Are you trying to trick her with this nonsense?

"Why don't you dig it for me quickly? What are you doing stupidly? If you are lazy again, your monthly payment for this month will be forfeited." Song Jinyue ignored Mrs. Shen, glanced sideways at Chunchan and Yunxing, and shouted angrily.

Mrs. Shen's face was turning blue and purple. How could she be reprimanding the two maids? She was clearly using them to accuse her stepmother!

It was difficult for Shen to have an attack, but Aunt Zhao behind her tugged on Shen's dark purple sleeves embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns with silver thread. Shen turned around to look, and Aunt Zhao shook her head and signaled for her to come.

Aunt Zhao smiled apologetically, walked up to Song Jinyue, bowed respectfully, and then asked: "If the second lady sees the peach tree pillar as an eyesore, why let those two delicate and tender maids do it? Where are they?"

If you know how to do this kind of work, the tired second lady looks annoying and gets angry, why don't you leave it to the old slave to do it?"

Chunchan and Yunxing clenched the shovels in their hands, their eyes full of hope. After all, the lady was kind-hearted, unlike the second lady who liked to make things difficult for others.

"Okay, then Aunt Zhao will go and take the iron hoe from Chunchan and Yunxing's hands, and start working." This was the first time she saw someone come to her door looking for punishment, and she didn't leave any trace for Aunt Zhao.

Her affection spoiled her.

Aunt Zhao looked confused, how could her old arms and legs do this? And when did she promise to do it herself? She meant to leave it to her, not her to do it!

Is the second lady pretending to be confused because she understands?

"Second Miss is really good at joking, old slave, how can this old slave do such a heavy job..."

"What does Aunt Zhao mean?" Song Jinyue raised her chin slightly, and the smile on her lips gradually deepened. The sunlight scattered on her fair cheeks, and the tiny fluff on her breakable skin gradually rippled with her smile.

Aunt Zhao rubbed her hands, took a step forward, bent down slightly and said slowly: "Of course I invited the servant..."

Before she finished speaking, the second lady glanced over with a cold look. Aunt Zhao's heart trembled and she unconsciously closed her lips.

Mrs. Shen's heart was also empty. This little bitch was easy to coax before, so why did she seem to be a different person when she returned home now?

"Mother Zhao, please step back quickly!" After all, Mrs. Shen had been a mistress for several years. She regained her composure and scolded in a cold voice. Only then did Aunt Zhao retreat behind Ms. Shen.

Mrs. Shen took a few steps forward and reached out to take Song Jinyue's hand, but she failed when she took a step back.

Shen's smile froze on her face, her hand hung in the air, she pulled her lips, and then she took her hand back and hung it by her side, "Yue'er, why don't you go and sit in your eldest sister's courtyard? Here, we can meet each other.

How about giving it to mother?"

In the previous life, when Song Jinyue first returned home, she thought that Mrs. Shen was a kind-hearted person with a kind face and kind eyes. But who knew that Mrs. Shen actually secretly encouraged her to make a lot of ugliness in the capital.

Thinking of all the things in her past life, she just felt that she was so stupid!

She actually believed Shen's lies even though she kept saying she was a mother!

I believe she really treats me as her own!

Now that the stage has been set up, how can she retreat? She shook her head and looked at Shen with aggrieved eyes, "Mother, is it possible that my daughter, a direct daughter of the Duke's palace, can't control her maid?"

Shen's heart was beating fast, it was this rhetoric again!

Doesn’t this little bitch have any excuses?

Song Jinyue was determined to let Chunchan and Yunxing dig out the peach wood mound without any room for negotiation.

If she continues to evade the obstruction, she will become the aunt who makes things difficult for her stepdaughter!

Then wouldn't the reputation she had managed to build up in the capital over the years go to waste?

In this case, she had no choice but to give up. Mrs. Shen waved her hand helplessly and told Chao Chunchan and Yun Xing: "Since you are now in the second lady's courtyard, the second lady has the final say in everything."

The two were about to complain again, but when they saw Mrs. Shen's face full of sadness, they were afraid of offending Mrs. Shen, so they gave up angrily. They looked at each other, each sighed, lowered their heads and continued working hard.

Shen wanted to leave, but was stopped by Song Jinyue.

"Mom, it happens that my daughter has something to discuss with her. Why don't you sit down and listen first?"

"Qiu Yun, go and bring a soft chair for mother."

Ms. Shen wants to leave? How could she agree?

The stage has been set up today. How can we not sing in front of Mr. Shen?

Qiu Yun returned to the house and brought in another soft chair made of black lacquered yellow rosewood.

Aunt Zhao helped Ms. Shen sit down, wondering in her mind what kind of medicine the second lady was selling in this gourd?

Mrs. Shen took out a dark purple silk handkerchief embroidered with colorful peonies from her arms, pressed it to her lips, and then sat down.

She also had some doubts in her heart.

"Mother, I was not in the house when you entered the house. You have taken good care of the Duke's house over the years." Song Jinyue looked straight at Mrs. Shen and smiled softly.

Shen didn't answer, her eyes fell on Chun Chan and Yun Xing who were squatting on the ground digging the soil.

Song Jinyue's white fingers gently tapped the armrests of the black yellow rosewood soft chair, lowered her eyes to look at the lines on her clothes, and said tepidly: "Now that I'm back, I want to ask for something from my mother."

Hearing this, Mrs. Shen frowned slightly and looked up at Song Jinyue suspiciously.

What does this stepdaughter want from her?

Zhang’s dowry?

But Zhang's dowry had been sealed in the warehouse by the concubine sent by the queen. Even if she had the courage, she would not dare to touch it.

Song Jinyue knew about this.

So what exactly is she going to ask for from her?

"Don't be nervous, mother, it's just something ordinary!"

Shen's hanging heart finally relaxed, "Don't worry, Yue'er, no matter what you want, mother will find a way to get it for you."

"really?"
