Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 166 What methods did their mother and daughter use?

Song Jinyue's words made Shen feel a little proud.

His face didn't seem to show any trace of it.

Mrs. Du looked at Mrs. Shen and shook her head secretly. Mrs. Shen is stupid.

Today's Second Miss Song is a princess conferred by the emperor. Even if she recruits a husband-in-law for the Duke's palace in the future, she will still have the status of a princess, and Lord Qin himself also has a bright future.

It is rare that he will have a great career in the court in the future.

After the fifth prince got married and was granted the title of king, he had to remove the fiefdom if he had no choice but to do so.

If the fiefdom were far away, it would be difficult for Mr. Shen to even meet her daughter.

If the emperor loves him deeply, he will stay in the capital for the time being. If the prince ascends the throne in the future, and if the brotherly relationship is close, he will naturally stay in the capital.

But now, the fifth prince has given up on the engagement with the prince's direct cousin and has an affair with Miss Song. The prince will have no choice but to let the fifth prince leave Kyoto early in the future.

Just as Mrs. Shen was about to speak out, she saw a hint of sarcasm hidden in Mrs. Du's eyes. After thinking about it, she snorted coldly and said nothing to her again.

Song Jinyue raised her eyebrows and saw that Mrs. Shen remained silent and walked to the verandah to sit quietly.

I waited for another cup of tea.

Only then did Song Jinxi come with her maid.

Song Jinyue looked up and saw Song Jinxi holding something in her hand.

She got up and went to see him.

Song Jinxi walked to Master Du, saw the ceremony, and then handed the stove in his hand to the maid behind him, signaling the maid to present it to Master Du.

"Master Du, it took some effort to find it, and I kept you waiting for a long time."

Mrs. Du got up and walked to her husband to take a look.

Mrs. Shen was still sitting in the same place without moving an inch.

Song Jinyue has arrived beside Mrs. Du.

Master Du was carefully looking at the stove in his hand, and Song Jinyue was also watching quietly.

I saw that the two sides of the fabric on the hand stove were no different from the brocade. It was just that the fabric in the middle part of the hand stove had a faint yellow halo on it, perhaps because it had been wrapped in the hot hand stove for a long time, and the two sides could be vaguely distinguished.

The fabrics are from the same piece of material.

Where did this fabric come from?

It is obvious that there is no such fabric circulating in the capital.

In such a hurry, where did Shen and his daughter find the same materials?

Found it from outside? Who is going to help spread the news? The servants in Shen's courtyard have not left the Duke's Mansion. Is it possible that there are still insiders in the Duke's Mansion helping Shen to contact the outside world?

After thinking about it for a while, Song Jinyue had no clue.

She only wanted to understand one thing, and that was that the person behind Mr. Shen was probably very well-connected and could have found the same material in this short period of time, and that person helped Ms. Shen escape from Jingzhao Yamen.

He also changed the servants serving in the courtyard for Mr. Shen.

There is something fishy about all this.

Is it Mr. Zhao from the Ministry of Civil Affairs?

No, Song Jinyue shook her head slightly and rejected the idea. Mr. Zhao would not help Shen in this way, and he had no personal relationship with Shen.

"Master Du, can you let me take a look?" Song Jinyue asked softly.

Master Du turned his head suspiciously, rolled his eyes, and handed the thing to the maid next to Song Jinyue.

Qiu Yun took the hand stove from Mr. Du and brought it to her young lady.

Song Jinyue took it, and there was a trace of moisture in the warm tentacles. It was obviously newly filled with hot water, and the brocade outside was obviously wet with water before.

Unable to help but feel suspicious, he raised his eyes to look at eldest sister Song Jinxi and said with a smile: "Eldest sister is really attentive. I'm afraid the hot water in there is newly added."

She deliberately emphasized the words "hot water" and "newly added".

After she finished speaking, she looked at her eldest sister with a smile, and clearly caught a hint of panic on her face.

Mr. Du had just focused his attention on the fabric, but for the moment he didn't think much about the mystery inside.

Now that I heard her mention it, I naturally began to think about it.

Song Jinxi smiled slightly awkwardly and explained: "When I came here, grandma was afraid that I would catch a cold, so she brought some hot water."

When she said this, Song Jinxi looked a little evasive.

Song Jinyue handed the stove to Qiu Yun and signaled her to return it to Lord Du.

Mr. Du accepted the hand stove and then left, saying: "I will take it back and check it first. After the investigation is clear, I will return it."

"Thank you, Mr. Du." Song Jinxi bowed before going to her mother, Mrs. Shen.

There was a hint of pride in Mrs. Shen's eyebrows, and she glanced at Song Jinyue with her chin raised.

Song Jinyue's eyes quickly passed by Mrs. Shen, and then she sent Mr. Du and Mrs. Du away.

When passing by the front yard, the servants had already packed up the banquet and were busy with their own business. Song Jinyue took a glance and sent Mr. Du and his wife away, and then she led Qiu Yun back to Mingzhuxuan.

With a bit of warmth and anger in her heart, as soon as she entered Mingzhuxuan, Song Jinyue told Qiu Yun: "Go and inquire and see what's going on, but someone has left the house or someone has communicated with Mrs. Shen and eldest sister.

letter?"

"My maid understands."

Qiu Yun left in a hurry.

When Song Jinyue returned to the house, Grandma Yuan came in personally to serve her and change her clothes.

I couldn't help but ask about today's events, "Second Miss, what happened earlier?"

Aunt Yuan didn't know the inside story, but she vaguely heard a few words from the servants who passed by Mingzhuxuan.

"Master Du just asked some questions about my mother. Aunt Yuan, please go down and tell everyone in the house not to discuss this matter." Song Jinyue did not elaborate on the matter.

Seeing that the second young lady didn't want to say more, Grandma Yuan stopped asking, put away her clothes, and brought hot tea.

Song Jinyue took the hot tea, took a sip, and then put it on the table aside, "Ask all the stewards to come to the front hall at three o'clock today to answer the question."

After receiving her signal, Grandma Yuan withdrew and ordered her maid to spread the word everywhere.

Song Jinyue lay on the imperial concubine's couch and fell asleep for a while.

I just closed my eyes, and my mind was filled with today's scenes.

I thought I would definitely send Shen and his daughter to prison today, but I never expected that they would escape so easily.

It is inevitable that I feel a little unhappy in my heart.

But she couldn't guess the origin of the person behind it, and she didn't know the traces.

All we can do is wait and see if Qiu Yun can find out any news from outside.

While she was deep in thought, she gradually lost her sleepiness.

He simply lifted off his cloak, stood up and walked towards the door, looking through the crack in the door towards the main entrance of Mingzhuxuan.

Qiu Yun was not seen, so she simply walked inside the house.

There were hurried footsteps outside, and Song Jinyue hurriedly walked towards the door. He saw Qiu Yun returning in a hurry.

As soon as she entered the house, Qiu Yun hurriedly closed the door.

Just as he was about to salute, Song Jinyue stopped him, "Have you heard anything?"

Qiu Yun nodded repeatedly, "The servants in the mansion did not leave the mansion today, but Manager Song suddenly mentioned to the maid that today the fifth prince sent a palace maiden to serve in the eldest lady's courtyard."

Song Jinyue was startled and asked again, "When did the person arrive?"

"The only one I sent here this morning is that the palace lady left the house at noon today."

Noon is the time when Mr. Du goes to Shen's courtyard.
