Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 163 She guessed that the thing was in Song Jinxi’s hands

The cloth was found and Shen, the patrol officer, asked questions

Inside the house, boxes and cabinets were rummaged through, things were randomly thrown all over the floor, and people could only walk carefully through the narrow gaps.

"Mom, did you give something to someone else? Why don't you find the brochure and take a look?"

Song Jinyue looked like she was thinking about Mrs. Shen and put down the tea cup in her hand, full of worry.

With a cold face, Mrs. Shen glanced hard at her stepdaughter, cursing in her heart.

How could she be careless and forget about this?

When she came to pay respects two days ago, she mentioned this matter in a vague way while chatting and laughing, but she didn't take it into her heart at that time, which is why this little bitch took advantage of such a big loophole.

"Yue'er, we still need to be greeted by the host at the banquet ahead, so you can go over first."

Mrs. Shen gathered her emotions, straightened her clothes, and persuaded her to leave first.

"Mom, the guests in front of me have all dispersed, so my daughter came to see if there is anything I can help with." Song Jinyue looked considerate and well-behaved.

Mrs. Shen saw it in her eyes and wished she could kick him out immediately.

But now is not the time to quarrel with her, we must send Master Du and his wife away first.

"There are servants here to serve you. If you don't need them, you should go back first."

There was a hint of command in Mrs. Shen's tone, and she gave the final order to expel the guests.

Song Jinyue's eyebrows were frivolous and she looked indifferent, but she had no intention of leaving.

He drank tea by himself, lowering his eyebrows and keeping his eyes silent.

Mrs. Shen stood up and as soon as she walked in front of Song Jinyue, Mrs. Du walked in from outside.

Mrs. Shen had no choice but to give up and turned around to meet Mrs. Du, with a bit of apology and annoyance on her face. "Mrs. Du, look, this room is in a mess. How about we go to the courtyard to talk?"

Mrs. Du followed Shen's gaze and saw the items scattered around the room.

She secretly thought, Shen did this for her to see.

The house had been thoroughly searched, but not a single bit of the moon-white brocade material was found.

"In that case, let's go out and talk. It happens that my master also has something to ask Mrs. Shen."

Mrs. Shen then walked out of the house with Mrs. Du.

Song Jinxi sat in the same place without moving at all. Song Jinyue stood up and walked outside. However, when he reached Song Jinxi, he paused and asked in confusion, "Sister, don't you go out and take a look?"

Song Jinxi twitched the corners of her lips slightly, a flash of panic flashed in her eyes, shook her head, and replied: "No, I feel a little uncomfortable."

Song Jinyue nodded slightly, then walked out of the room and walked out of the courtyard.

I happened to hear Mrs. Shen talking to Mr. Du, "Mr. Du, Mrs. Du also saw it. I really don't know where the piece of cloth went. I'm afraid it was stolen by that cheap maid who took the courage of an ambitious leopard."

"

Song Jinyue slightly blessed her body and bowed, her red lips parted slightly, "Mother, why don't you find the booklet and take a look? Maybe mother can't remember when it was given to someone?"

She looked confused and innocent, but Shen's face turned dark again.

The mistress of the house in the capital always puts the things she receives in the warehouse or in her own room.

But every item that comes into the mansion is registered by a dedicated person, and then the entry and exit details are recorded one by one.

Shen didn't mention it from the beginning, just trying to fool the past. Only then did Song Jinyue speculate that she might have given the thing to her eldest sister Song Jinxi.

"In that case, I'd like to trouble Mrs. Shen to find the brochure from the Duke's mansion and let me take a look at it."

Mr. Du is businesslike and there is no room for negotiation.

Shen is willing to shirk, but it can be seen that Mr. Du is pressing harder and harder. If Shen doesn't comply, he may have to find an official to come.

After thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Shen turned around and told Aunt Zhao: "Aunt Zhao, go get the booklet."

Aunt Zhao understood, bowed her body, and replied: "Yes, I will go and get it now."

"This Aunt Zhao, please wait a moment and ask the nanny next to me to go with you."

Mrs. Du called to Nanny Zhao who was about to leave, then looked at her Nanny and motioned for her to follow her.

Aunt Zhao was a little embarrassed, but Mrs. Shen couldn't speak out at the moment.

She had no choice but to agree and took Mrs. Du's nanny into the warehouse on the side of the courtyard.

Shen's eyebrows were twitching, and she couldn't care about anything else.

Song Jinyue secretly followed Nanny Zhao into the warehouse.

I saw Aunt Zhao stopping in front of a bookshelf, looking a little troubled.

She walked forward. When she saw clearly that the person next to her was Miss Song, she coughed loudly, and her tone was a little urgent, "Miss Second, the warehouse is full of dust and dirt. If I take off your clothes, it will be bad."

Aunt Zhao persuaded her while making gestures to pull Song Jinyue out.

Seeing this, Qiu Yun hurriedly stepped forward and stopped in front of Aunt Zhao, with a look of anger in her eyes, "Aunt Zhao, is my young lady someone you, a naughty slave, can push around?"

Aunt Zhao had a kind face and defended herself: "Qiu Yun, what are you talking about? This old slave is just thinking about the young lady!"

She looked at Song Jinyue, her eyes full of help.

Song Jinyue ignored Nanny Zhao and walked forward, scanning the bookshelf with her eyes.

"Second Miss..."

Aunt Zhao stepped forward to stop her, but Qiu Yun was holding her arm tightly. Seeing this, Mrs. Du's Aunt also saw some clues and stepped forward to help Qiu Yun to stop Aunt Zhao. ma.

Song Jinyue rummaged through the bookshelf carefully.

She knelt down and rummaged through the last floor carefully, and then she saw the booklet recording the arrival at the Duke's Mansion.

She raised her hand and took out the booklet placed there from the bottom layer.

There are four or five books in a pile. Song Jinyue holds them in his hand, and they are quite heavy.

When Aunt Zhao saw that the second lady had found the booklet, her face turned pale and she slumped to the ground. She knew that something had gone wrong in today's errand, and the lady would not let her off lightly.

The nanny next to Mrs. Du stepped forward, bowed respectfully, took the booklet from Miss Song's hand, and then held it out.

Song Jinyue took the handkerchief from her arms, wiped the dust from her hands, and handed the used handkerchief to Qiu Yun with a look of disgust.

Then he walked out of the warehouse.

Mrs. Shen's heart felt empty. As she watched the pile of books being found, her mind was filled with countless thoughts, which finally turned into an endless nothingness, making her heart full of despair.

Mr. Du took the booklet from the nanny's hand and rummaged through it carefully.

Mrs. Shen felt uneasy, and her feet seemed to weigh as much as a thousand pounds.

His eyes were full of depression and defeat.

"Mrs. Shen, it is recorded here that you gave this brocade to the eldest lady of your house?" Mr. Du pushed the open book in front of Mrs. Shen.

"Mrs. Shen, can you send someone to get it?"

Shen was stunned and had not yet come to her senses.

Song Jinyue stepped forward, bowed, and said word by word: "Mr. Du, my mother is tired today. Why don't you ask me and Mrs. Du to go and look for her in the eldest sister's courtyard?"
