Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Seeing that the maid had confessed to the Shen family, Zhang Dingzhi was a little surprised.

I originally thought that this wretched maid simply escaped from her master after stealing something from her master, but who knew that she was actually trying to cover up something bigger?

"Where did you get that poison?"

Song Jinyue remembered what Mr. Du had said earlier that the poison came from the North.

"Yes, it was taken from Yong'an Pawnshop..."

As Chunchan spoke, she secretly looked at the second lady's expression.

"Did you get it from Shopkeeper Li or someone else?"

"I took it from Shopkeeper Li..."

Song Jinyue frowned slightly and her eyes darkened. Is this Yong'an pawnshop a spy from the Northern Kingdom?

She couldn't help but fell into deep thought. Previously, when she pawned the gold hairpin given by Mrs. Shen, Shopkeeper Li didn't see anything strange, but at that time, Shopkeeper Li didn't show any strangeness at all.

Later, the gold hairpin given to her by Shen was clearly displayed in the pawn shop.

At that time, Shopkeeper Li and Mr. Shen had not yet developed a relationship that would reveal his identity, but how did they get to know each other? Why would Mr. Li help Mr. Shen?

Doubts abounded in her heart, and Song Jinyue felt like her head was heavy.

"Cousin, what are your plans?"

"Have someone send these two maids to the City Patrol Department and hand them over to Lord Du for interrogation."

Now that the two of them had confessed to the Shen family, Song Jinyue let them go temporarily. As for whether they would suffer punishment in the City Patrol Department, it had nothing to do with her.

After all, the path is theirs to choose.

The carriage stopped in front of the Zhang Mansion. Zhang Dingzhi got off the carriage first, then turned around to help his cousin get off the carriage.

Song Jinyue just stood firm and looked up to see her aunt Xie opening the door and walking out. She stopped when she saw the two of them.

"Mother."

"aunt."

Zhang Dingzhi hurriedly stepped forward and took his mother's arm, acting coquettishly.

Mrs. Xie originally wanted to criticize her, but when she saw her daughter's appearance, she couldn't bear it. She raised her hand and tapped her twice on the forehead.

He said angrily: "I haven't been able to show up all day long. How long have I been out of the house? I'm not afraid of tiring Yue'er!"

"Aunt, I'm very happy today."

Song Jinyue was busy trying to excuse Cousin Zhi, and then Ms. Xie gave up.

Ask the two of them to go back and rest early.

In the back garden of Zhang's mansion, the two of them walked towards the opposite courtyard. Zhang Dingzhi originally wanted to ask her cousin to live with her, but Song Jinyue was used to living in the courtyard where her mother was alive.

Zhang Dingzhi could only sigh helplessly and let her go.

The maid had already tidied up the room, and after washing, she went to bed early.

Early the next morning, cousin Tongzhi had breakfast with her grandmother and aunt, and came to Zhang's Mansion to look for her at three o'clock in the morning.

Song Jinyue took Sanming back to the courtyard where her mother was alive.

As soon as they entered the house, Qiu Yun closed the door and Sanming curtly saluted before saying, "Miss, Ling'er had a dispute with the eldest lady last night..."

Ling'er is the concubine given to his eldest sister Song Jinxi by the fifth prince He Yuanjie.

Song Jinyue was particularly surprised by this news. A palace concubine actually had a dispute with her master? What kind of status does this have? How much does He Yuan frame value this person?

The maid disobeyed her master because there was someone behind the scenes who was supporting her.

On the surface, the person behind Ling'er is the fifth prince He Yuanjian, but secretly, this master is probably very powerful.

Song Jinyue motioned to Sanming to continue.

"Last night, my servant couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk in the garden. I saw Ling'er and the eldest lady arguing in the garden. Because they were a little far away, they couldn't hear it very clearly."

"I only vaguely heard Ling'er say that the eldest lady has such an attitude towards the elders? She also said that the eldest lady is so narrow-minded that it will be difficult for her to achieve great success in the future. She also told the eldest lady not to ruin the master's plan."

After Sanming finished speaking one by one, Song Jinyue's brows furrowed even more tightly.

Is this Ling'er the elder sister's elder?

Shen's relative? But Shen's mother in Yanliu Lane passed away many years ago.

And the only one who got that card was Shen.

Is he a relative of Shen's biological father's family? But Shen's biological father is unknown, and this matter is well known in the capital.

Song Jinyue ordered Sanming to go back to his residence and keep a close eye on Ling'er. He also sent someone to send a letter to the palace, hoping to find out the details of Ling'er.

After giving all the instructions, she took Qiu Yun to the City Patrol Division again.

Because she was afraid that her grandmother and aunt would be worried, she only asked her maid to go and deliver the message when she went out.

Even Cousin Zhi, she kept it secret.

Just after leaving Zhang's Mansion, I saw Qin Sheng, who had returned from the next court, passing by the door of Zhang's Mansion.

"Jinyue?"

Qin Sheng rode a brown-red horse and wore a dark blue court uniform. His brows and eyes showed a bit of majesty and solemnity.

He pulled the reins in his hands, waited for the horse to stop, turned over and dismounted, and handed the horse rope to the boy following behind him.

Walked forward a few steps.

"Are you going back home?"

Song Jinyue walked down the steps and took a few steps closer to Qin Sheng, "I came to my grandmother's house yesterday. I will stay at my grandmother's house for two days before going back. I was about to go to the city inspection department."

Qin Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "But what happened?"

"Last night I went to the lake with Cousin Zhi, and happened to meet the two maids who had stolen my jewelry a few days ago. They were sent to the City Patrol Department overnight. I stopped by today to inquire about the progress of the case."

Song Jinyue said and looked at the carriage, "I'll go first..."

Qin Sheng turned sideways, watched her get on the carriage, and then said: "I'll go with you, it'll be fine."

Song Jinyue originally wanted to stop her, but she was afraid that Qin Sheng would not agree. If she refused again, her grandmother would inevitably come looking for her, and then a large number of people would go to the city inspection department again.

"Okay." After some thought, Song Jinyue agreed.

Seeing her getting on the carriage, Qin Sheng got on the horse and followed the carriage to the city patrol department.

The carriage moved forward slowly. Song Jinyue lifted the curtain to look at Qin Sheng, and happened to meet his gaze looking into the carriage. For a moment, her face felt a little hot, and her hand holding up the curtain became slightly stiff.

An embarrassed smile on his face.

However, Qin Sheng did not notice anything strange and only said: "The brocade incident yesterday has been publicized in the court today. His Majesty was furious and ordered the Ministry of Personnel, Jingzhao Yamen and the City Patrol to investigate the matter."

Song Jinyue nodded.

This matter can be big or small.

Now the cloth suddenly grew a few feet longer. This brocade was brought to the palace as tribute and was not allowed to be circulated outside. Moreover, after the queen originally rewarded it, the destination of the brocade in each palace has been registered in the palace.

Nowadays, either someone has eaten the heart of a bear or the courage of a leopard, and has become greedy and greedy about the items that were brought to the palace as tribute.

Either someone bribed North Korean and Chinese officials.

No matter what, if you dare to bring greed to the emperor, how can the emperor tolerate it? Isn't this a joke to make people see the emperor's incompetence? Let corrupt officials and corrupt officials blame you?

The final result was that the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Mr. Wang of Jingzhao Yamen, and Mr. Du, the Inspector of the City, tried the case together.

"Who did the Ministry of Civil Affairs send?"

"it's me."

Song Jinyue was quite surprised that the emperor did not ask Mr. Zhao to go to such a big and important case, but asked Qin Sheng to go.

It can be seen how much the emperor has a preference for this new technology explorer.
