Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 197 Is this the end?

The two people in the room were stunned for a moment.

After coming back to her senses, Song Jinyue saw that Cousin Zhi had not spoken, so she shouted outside: "I know, let's go over there."

In the front hall of Zhang Mansion, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Xie were already waiting in the front hall.

When Zhang Dingzhi brought Song Jinyue to the front hall, everyone knelt down together, and then the chamberlain read out the imperial edict.

"By God's blessing, the emperor has decreed that the young lady of the Zhang family is gentle, dignified, quiet and virtuous. She and the prince are truly a match made in heaven. Today, we are specially granted a marriage to His Royal Highness. The wedding date is scheduled for the sixth day of March next year. Thank you."

After the Director of Health read out the imperial edict, he walked up to Miss Zhang, leaned over and handed the imperial edict into Miss Zhang's hands.

Then everyone thanked him in unison, received the imperial edict, and stood up slowly.

Mrs. Zhang ordered her grandma to personally escort Director Wei out of the house.

Mrs. Xie ordered the nuns around her to send all the maids out of the front hall.

Mrs. Zhang then took the imperial edict from her granddaughter, sighed, patted her shoulder, and comforted her: "Zhi'er, I've wronged you."

She had met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before entering the palace, and she always felt a little strange looking at him like that.

There was a rustling sound outside the courtyard, and she couldn't help but perked up and listened carefully to the movement outside the courtyard.

There was a strange noise from the door of Mingzhuxuan.

Now that the Queen has made such a decision, she might have discovered something secretly?

"I don't know. It's just that my aunt sent someone to deliver a letter yesterday and mentioned this matter. Maybe my aunt has found something, but it's just not convenient to say it yet."

All that happened in Zhang Mansion today and what Cousin Zhi mentioned were in my mind.

Song Zhi rushed in with his guards.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, she suddenly opened the brocade quilt on her body and pushed Qiu Yun on the ground.

"this……"

In this way, Qiu Yun walked to the door of the room, opened the door, and shouted loudly: "Ah!"

"There is an assassin! Catch the assassin!"

His eyes were wide open and his expression was solemn.

Her young lady is really knowledgeable about things.

The tools in everyone's hands were torches.

After a quick greeting, he looked at the man in black curled up on the ground and looked at the second lady with some embarrassment.

Just when they arrived in front of the fifth prince, they saw blood stains at his feet. The fifth prince gritted his teeth, frowned, and couldn't help but suck in the cold air.

Song Jinyue could only look out through the gap.

Qiu Yun was a little confused. If that was the case, why not decorate the courtyard next to the mansion with these sharp blades?

But her young lady said that she couldn't commit such a crime and she didn't have that much spare money.

It can be seen that the second lady is resolute, so she is ready to take the fifth prince to see the prince.

Qiu Yun rubbed Xiong Song's sleepy eyes and looked at her young lady.

The man in black curled up and refused to raise his head.

Song Jinyue sneered in her heart, straightened her clothes, and said calmly: "Send this assassin to his father!"

Song Jinyue sat with Cousin Zhi again. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, she stood up and left.

Grandma Yuan glanced at her young lady, hurried from the corridor to the courtyard door, and opened the courtyard door.

Not long after, there was a strange noise from the roof, and Song Jinyue sat up suddenly.

The old lady was amused by her granddaughter, and Mr. Xie turned sideways and quietly wiped away tears.

Song Zhi led people forward and pulled the man in black up.

The two of them then walked out towards the window together.

"Grandma, you should be happy, our family has a new crown princess."

"This way, grandma will feel at ease."

This is to make it clear to the outside world that the man in black who appeared in her courtyard is not the fifth prince, but an assassin!

"Cousin Zhi, what did my aunt find out?"

Qiu Yun carefully pushed the window open a crack. Dark clouds covered the sun, and it was pitch black outside. She could only vaguely see a man in black squatting in the courtyard with his body in his arms.

Qiu Yun followed her young lady and couldn't help but click her tongue secretly.

Song Jinyue pushed away the people who were blocking her and said calmly: "Go."

This is what everyone speculates.

Then he took Cousin Zhi aside to talk.

Qiu Yun was a little worried that this would damage her young lady's reputation. Song Jinyue shook her head slightly, indicating that it was okay.

After saying that, everyone in the room was stunned.

"Don't panic."

Song Jinyue looked at Qiu Yun and motioned for her to speak out.

Until midnight, the sound of drums was heard on the long street outside, and she had not stopped yet.

She mentioned the word assassin instead of His Highness the Fifth Prince.

Or was he looking for the eldest lady Song Jinxi, but he couldn't see the way in the dark, so he went to the wrong yard?

Song Zhi was stunned.

Song Jinyue frowned slightly, her aunt was acting like this, perhaps the news she found out was related to someone in the palace.

Song Zhi's voice was very low.

Song Zhi was on duty tonight. When he heard Ming Zhuxuan's movements, he hurried over with his people.

While comforting Qiu Yun, she motioned for her to put on clothes.

There's someone on the roof!

Zhang Dingzhi personally sent her to the door.

"Second Miss, that is..." Song Zhi paused, and then continued: "It is His Highness the Fifth Prince..."

Song Jinyue signaled her to be silent, and then whispered: "There is someone outside the yard!"

She was also wondering why her lady suddenly ordered people to place many sharp knives on the eaves two days ago.

"Come quickly, catch the assassin!"

Song Zhi looked at the second young lady.

Qiu Yun was shocked and hurriedly protected her young lady, staring at the door of the room.

Song Zhi then led the people away. Song Jinyue ordered people to clean up the blood on the ground, went to the house to change clothes, and then led the people to Aunt Tian's courtyard.

Qiu Yun blocked the door of the room, guarding her young lady behind her, while Ming Zhuxuan's wives and maids surrounded her one by one.

Following Qiu Yun's loud roar, all the women and maids in Mingzhuxuan came out of the room, some holding oil lamps and some holding sticks.

The sound suddenly sounded, and the body of the man in black squatting on the ground in the courtyard suddenly stiffened, but for some unknown reason, he sat there without moving at all.

Song Jinyue was slightly stunned, couldn't help but stepped forward, looked at the maid aside, and motioned for everyone to leave.

Only then did Song Zhi step forward, his face full of fear.

But once he saw the face of the man in black clearly, Song Zhi suddenly took a step back.

"Catch the assassin!"

At night, Song Jinyue tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

How could it be His Highness the Fifth Prince? Why did he break into Mingzhuxuan at night?

Seeing Song Zhi acting strangely, she couldn't help but said, "Song Zhi, what's wrong?"

Seeing his grandmother like this, Zhang Dingzhi felt a surge of sourness in his heart. He shook his head quickly and suppressed the tears in his eyes. When he looked up, his face was already calm and calm.

The young lady said that because of the bad weather in recent years, it was inevitable that there would be roosters, dogs, and thieves.

So I mentioned this matter to my grandmother and aunt.

The old lady then sent the imperial edict to the Zhangfu ancestral hall, and Mrs. Xie accompanied her mother-in-law to the ancestral hall.

When they parted, Zhang Dingzhi called her cousin and said, "Yue'er, tomorrow my aunt will ask the chamberlain to bring the prince to Zhang's Mansion to recuperate."

She was extremely shocked when she heard it, and found it a little bit funny.

Everyone in the Duke's mansion woke up because of the strange noise.

When Manager Song heard the news, he hurried to see the Duke.

Song Jinyue quickened her pace and walked outside Aunt Tian's courtyard when she heard the cry of her eldest sister Song Jinxi coming from inside.
