Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 194 The old lady was not the only one to die suddenly.

After sending Ding away, Song Jinyue turned around and returned to the Duke's Mansion.

You should tell your father the news of the old lady's sudden death.

As for the purpose of her second aunt's visit today, she will help convey it to her father, but in the end whether her father agrees or not has nothing to do with her.

Aunt Tian learned that the second lady was coming and hurriedly came out to greet her.

The two met and greeted each other.

"Auntie, is father still asleep?"

"Second Miss, the Duke is reading in the room."

The two of them entered the house one after another.

Song Guogong was lying on the soft couch outside. When he saw his second daughter coming, he put down the book in his hand and was a little confused about the purpose of his daughter's visit.

Qin Sheng then gave up, because no matter how he asked about his sister's whereabouts.

"Yue'er, what happened in the house?"

But Song Jinyue still saw a trace of hatred in the boy's eyes.

Seeing her coming to the door, Qin Sheng was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and took her hand through the door.

Song Guogong was suddenly startled, a little in disbelief, "Yue'er, what did you say?"

Song Jinyue looked a little flustered. She lowered her eyelids, suppressed the panic in her eyes, and answered hesitantly: "I'll be back in a while."

It was as if the unpleasantness of the previous prison robbery had never happened.

Song Jinyue would not let go.

Song Guogong pondered for a moment, and his daughter's words made sense.

Aunt Tian repeated what the second young lady had just said.

Aunt Tian stepped forward, took Song Guogong's hand, and silently comforted Song Guogong.

The boy saw Song Jinyue and turned his head away in panic.

When Song Guogong thought of his second uncle, he looked a little complicated for a moment. Although his father and his second uncle were full brothers and concubines back then, the relationship between them was a bit closer than that of full brothers from other families in the capital.

Song Jinyue felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him. She lowered her eyes and picked up the tea cup to cover up the unnatural look on her face.

He looked at his second daughter for confirmation and saw her nodding again.

Song Guogong didn't listen at all, and his mind was filled with the news that his aunt was dead.

He didn't want his second uncle to be buried alone in his ancestral grave, nor did he want his father to be disappointed.

That makes it clear that the people behind the scenes want to protect Ling'er.

She only felt that the two brothers and sisters looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them before.

The case has not yet been concluded. Everything was going well, so why did he suddenly die suddenly in prison?

Qin Sheng's eyes completely fell on Song Jinyue, with deep affection in his eyes.

This is the tacit approval of her thoughts.

The boy was about ten years old, and the girl he was holding was only about seven years old. They looked like a brother and sister.

Song Guogong's heart sank, and a trace of disappointment flashed across his eyes.

I saw two disgraced children kneeling in front of Qin Sheng in front of the Qin Mansion.

Even though the aunt tried to kill him, she was still considered his elder.

But when the two children turned back to look at the carriage of the Duke's Mansion, they happened to meet Song Jinyue's eyes.

"It's about the food..." Qin Sheng didn't hide anything from her, he said half-way, his eyes full of sadness, "It's just that all the people who handled the food died last night, and now, no usable clues have been found.

"

Shopkeeper Li is also dead?

Song Jinyue turned her eyes suspiciously, but Linger was fine.

After a while, Song Guogong came back to his senses.

It can be seen that the emperor was angry about the prison robbery last night.

This matter is inherently strange. If there is no autopsy, the body will be buried in a hurry.

Song Jinyue then left.

"Ling'er has been taken away by the emperor's order. As for where he was taken, no one in the court or up and down the court knows."

"Has the palace spoken?"

The person behind Ling'er was the Queen Mother, so were the deaths of the old lady and Shopkeeper Li also the Queen Mother's work?

Who is the biological father of Linger and Shen from the Northern Kingdom?

"The bell?"

After leaving the Duke's Mansion, she went straight to the Qin Mansion.

Qin Sheng helped the two of them up and the three of them entered the house.

Song Jinyue got on the carriage, which was driving slowly, but heard a burst of sobbing and crying from outside.

"Well, two people died in the patrol department's prison last night, Mrs. Song and Shopkeeper Li."

After all, the emperor ordered people to personally guard and interrogate him. It seems that even if He Yuanjie had the intention, he would not dare to plan the robbery again.

In this case, she doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

How could the Queen Mother be so helpful?

It's not that he didn't send people to investigate, but he didn't find any clues.

He opened the car curtain and looked outside.

"Yue'er, you are extremely thoughtful."

He said in a deep voice: "Second aunt came to deliver a message, saying that my little grandmother died suddenly in the city patrol prison last night."

After taking a sip of tea, she put down the tea cup and then raised her eyes to look at Qin Sheng.

Everyone is dead, that's all.

She frowned, feeling curious for a moment.

Now that Ling'er has been taken away by the emperor's order, I think we can find out a lot of things by following the clues of Ling'er.

The second daughter brought Aunt Muyun here yesterday, and today she comes again. Could it be that there is something about that aunt?

Song Jinyue bowed and looked at her father solemnly.

In this way, Song Jinyue understood her father's intentions.

He took her and sat down together, "Why didn't you ask someone to deliver the letter? If I weren't here, wouldn't your trip have been in vain?"

"She's fine."

After all, the old lady did not do it herself from the beginning to the end of her plot to murder the Duke, but ordered someone else to do it.

"Second aunt came to the door today and said that my little grandmother died suddenly last night..."

"What did you find out?"

When Qin Sheng sent her out of the house, he asked about his sister's return date.

"But father, there is one more thing. The second uncle meant not to conduct an autopsy, but my daughter feels that the death of my little grandmother is strange, so we must investigate. Let's put aside the grudges between our two houses for the time being. We can't ask others.

I suspect that the Duke's government has tampered with it..."

Song Jinyue did not break away, but let Qin Sheng lead him to the front hall.

Song Jinyue was stunned when she heard this.

My father agreed to my second uncle’s request.

She thought that only Mrs. Song died suddenly, but she didn't know that Shopkeeper Li also died.

Only then did Qin Sheng understand the purpose of her visit today.

"Second aunt came today to ask my father if my little grandmother can be buried in the ancestral grave."

After the maid served tea, Qin Sheng ordered everyone to leave.

The carriage stopped in front of the Qin Mansion, and Qin Sheng was riding back with a haggard look on his face.

She looked at Qin Sheng suspiciously, and when she saw his calm expression, she understood immediately that if she could guess it, Qin Sheng must have guessed it too.

Song Jinyue spoke out her thoughts word for word.

If this matter falls into the eyes of others in the capital, they will always suspect whether the Shangguo Palace has some connection with this matter.

"Yue'er, don't worry about it. Father, just ask Manager Song to handle the matter."

Qiu Yun in the carriage saw that her young lady seemed to be deep in thought, and couldn't help but ask, "Miss, what's wrong?"

Song Jinyue then lowered the car curtain, and Qin Sheng had already led the brother and sister into the house.

"It looks familiar, but I can't remember where I saw it."

Just now, Qiu Yun also saw Mr. Qin leading a pair of brothers and sisters into the house through the car curtain, but she never saw their faces.
