Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 174 There’s news

"But we found out, who did Ling'er go to see?"

"It's shopkeeper Li from Yong'an Pawnshop."

Song Jinyue suddenly stood up, and Sanming hurriedly stepped forward to support the second young lady, full of doubts.

Song Jinyue lowered her head and took two steps inside the house, but her heart was filled with joy.

Shopkeeper Li of Yong'an Pawn Shop is a spy from the Northern Kingdom. This matter has not spread yet, so Sanming doesn't know that her lady is looking for Shopkeeper Li of Yong'an Pawn Shop.

Song Jinyue was a little undecided for a moment.

Shopkeeper Li is the only breakthrough right now, so we must not alert the enemy.

But if he sent someone to arrest him, he would be afraid of being blocked secretly.

After thinking about it for a moment, Song Jinyue had an idea.

After calling Qiu Yun and San Ming to clean up together, she went to her grandmother's place to say goodbye.

Mrs. Zhang wanted to keep her for two more days, but Song Jinyue had no choice but to panic and said that her father sent someone to call her back.

Only then did Mrs. Zhang give up.

Zhang Dingzhi personally sent his cousin out, reluctant to leave. Song Jinyue could only coax her and said: "Cousin Zhi, I'll come back in two days."

Then he boarded the carriage of the Duke's Mansion and headed straight back to the Mansion.

"What are your plans, young lady?"

Qiu Yun sat next to the young lady, feeling uneasy in her heart. Is the Duke's Mansion a place where people can stay now?

The dragon's pond and tiger's den are just like this.

"Qiu Yun, you will go find Mr. Qin later and tell Mr. Qin where Shopkeeper Li lives. If Mr. Qin asks about my plans, just say that I will listen to him and say nothing more."

Song Jinyue ordered Qiu Yun.

Qiu Yun responded blankly.

Sanming had just learned from Qiu Yun that shopkeeper Li of Yongan Pawnshop was a spy from the Northern Kingdom.

She was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses.

"You will go back to your home later. On the next day, go and bring a message to Song Zhi, asking him to bring two young men to guard Shopkeeper Li. If the official takes Shopkeeper Li away, he does not need to come forward. He will just watch and follow.

If he enters the prison, he can just stand guard at the door of the prison."

"yes."

After the instructions were given, Song Jinyue leaned on the soft pillow in the carriage and slowly closed her eyes.

Not feeling sleepy at all, she was carefully searching for memories related to Shopkeeper Li in the depths of her mind.

But after thinking about it, she found that she had never paid attention to Yong'an Pawnshop in her previous life, and she didn't have any memory at the moment.

Unknowingly, his frown became tighter and tighter.

Sanming and Qiuyun did not dare to disturb him.

The carriage stopped in front of the Duke's Mansion. Qiu Yun and San Ming got off the carriage first. They turned around and helped their young lady off the carriage.

"Go ahead."

Song Jinyue's voice was calm, Qiu Yun nodded her eyes, bowed, and then headed towards the Qin Mansion.

"Sanming, you should go too. Instruct Song Zhi to leave immediately without delay."

"yes."

After the master and servant entered the Duke's mansion, Song Jinyue gave orders to Sanming.

Song Jinyue did not return to Mingzhuxuan, but went to pay her respects to her father.

Unfortunately, the time of arrival was when Aunt Tian was waiting for her father to have lunch, so today's lunch was a full two-quarters of an hour later than usual.

Since Duke Guo of Song could not go to the ground yet, a low stool was placed on the couch for meals.

Aunt Tian sometimes accompanies Yi Yier, and sometimes serves Song Guogong's meals.

Song Jinyue just entered the courtyard and learned that her father was having a meal. She didn't let the maid go to inform her, so she waited outside on the porch.

She sat on the porch leaning on the fence.

He folded his hands on the wooden railing and rested his chin on the folded hands, and then took a closer look at Aunt Tian's courtyard.

This courtyard is the smallest place in the Duke's Mansion, but because there is a pond in the courtyard that does not freeze all year round, the water temperature in the pond is the same temperature all year round.

The fish inside are also much more active than the fish in the nearby pond.

The bowl of lotus planted inside has light pink lotus flowers blooming in all seasons.

If it weren't for the location being a bit off and the courtyard being a bit smaller, this would be the mistress's courtyard.

The black lacquered corridor pillars are also carefully carved with lotus patterns, and the tops are bordered with gold lacquer, which complements the lotus flowers blooming in the pond.

My father specially chose this courtyard for Aunt Tian.

It can be seen that a lot of thought was put into it.

The maids filed out of the main room, and on the black lacquer tray was today's father's lunch.

Just now she casually asked the maid why she was late for lunch today.

It turns out that Aunt Tian specially cooked lunch for my father today.

The maids removed all the lunch from the main room, and Aunt Tian opened the curtain and looked outside.

Song Jinyue stood up and walked from the corridor towards the main house. When Aunt Tian saw her coming, her eyes lit up and she hurriedly came forward to greet her.

"When did the second young lady return home?"

Aunt Tian saluted, and Song Jinyue was about to return the gift when Aunt Tian hurriedly lifted her up and led her into the house.

"I just came back to pay my respects to my father."

"My lord, I have been in a good mood these past two days. I heard that the second lady is here and is waiting for you."

While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived in front of the screen on the bed in the inner room.

Looking across the screen, I saw my father sitting by the couch, looking a little better than usual.

"Father."

Song Jinyue bowed slowly and called softly.

When Song Guogong saw his daughter returning, the smile on his lips deepened and he said, "Is your grandmother in good health?"

"all good."

The father and daughter asked and answered each other, but they seemed a little unfamiliar and awkward.

Aunt Tian stood beside Song Guogong and listened quietly.

Song Guogong didn't know what to ask for a moment.

It was Song Jinyue who broke the awkward situation and said, "Father, my daughter came here today because she has something to tell her father."

For some reason, Song Guogong felt a little uneasy. He looked at his daughter and motioned for her to continue.

"My little grandmother was imprisoned in the city patrol department for quite some time."

Song Guogong was startled. His aunt was imprisoned in the city patrol department? Why?

He was full of doubts and confusion.

I heard my daughter continue talking.

"You fell off your horse because my grandmother ordered your horse to be poisoned."

Song Guogong knew that his aunt was a powerful person, but he never expected that this aunt turned out to be such a vicious and vicious woman!

Song Guogong gritted his teeth, his eyes were blazing with anger, he clenched his hands into a circle and slammed them on the couch.

"It was because I was worried about your health that my daughter ordered everyone to hide it from you, but..."

Song Jinyue looked a little disappointed.

"Yue'er, keep talking!" Song Guogong said almost every word through gritted teeth. He knew that this might not be simple!

"A few days ago, two maids, Chun Chan and Yun Xing, were in my daughter's courtyard. They stole my daughter's jewelry and escaped."

"Yesterday, my daughter accidentally bumped into the two maids. After interrogating them, I learned that they were under the instigation of others."

Song Guogong's face turned gloomy little by little.

Chunchan and Yunxing were found by the Shen family for their daughter. If these two people were ordered by others, who else could they be besides Shen?

He never expected that Mr. Shen would be so out of place!

He even instigated his maid to steal his master's jewelry and escape from the house.

"The two of them also confessed that they stole their daughter's jewelry in order to cover up that they went to help their mother...retrieve the poison that my grandmother poisoned your father's horses!"
