Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Song Jinyue stepped into the Duke's mansion, and Song Qingjiu rushed over from the concierge at the side.

"Second Miss."

Song Qing bowed, and Song Jinyue nodded her eyes and motioned to go to the front hall to talk.

Qiu Yun deliberately sent away the maid serving in the front hall, and then guarded the door.

"Second Miss, the body of Eucommia ulmoides was taken away. The younger one followed that person all the way to the first courtyard of Anfu Hutong in the city."

"Have you found out who owns that yard?"

"Going back to Second Miss, I made a lot of inquiries and found out that the house was rented by Mr. Zhao from the Ministry of Civil Affairs a few days ago."

Song Jinyue's eyes darkened.

He raised his hand and knocked on the desk twice.

After thinking for a moment, he immediately ordered: "Take the people to secure the house and don't let others discover it."

After a pause, he asked again, "Has the body of Eucommia ulmoides been carefully examined?"

Song Qing looked at the second young lady and replied, "I have checked everything carefully. Even the clothes on my body have been replaced with newly made clothes. Second young lady can rest assured."

After Song Qing left, Song Jinyue worked in the front hall for a while.

Mr. Zhao from the Ministry of Civil Affairs has contact with the Northern Kingdom?

The idea flashed through her mind.

After a while, Manager Song came to look for her.

It was originally because of my father's business today.

Because the emperor's punishment to the fifth prince was too light, there are only rumors outside that the two young ladies from the Duke's Mansion were having an affair with the fifth prince.

Previously, my sister broke off the engagement and married my elder sister instead, which made people look down upon the Duke's government.

Duke Guo of Song then made some excuses and wanted the emperor to take back the title of Duke Guo.

The emperor was furious, but he couldn't get angry. He threw the paper aside casually and ignored it. The Duke was so angry that he asked someone to prepare a carriage and go to the palace in person to ask for an explanation from the emperor.

"Second Miss, what do you think?"

Manager Song looked embarrassed. If the Duke really went to the emperor to make a fuss, the emperor would be furious, and the whole government would inevitably suffer.

"I'm going to persuade my father."

Although the emperor's punishment of the fifth prince is inevitably chilling.

But after this matter spreads, there may be some turmoil in the court.

Just after leaving the front hall, Song Jinyue bumped into Qin Sheng, who was brought to the front hall by the waiter, and was slightly stunned.

"Why are you here?"

Song Jinyue asked casually.

"Well, let me see you."

Qin Sheng suppressed the annoyance in his heart and replied softly.

"I have to go see my father first, why don't you wait for me here for a while?" Song Jinyue pointed to the front hall and said.

Qin Sheng had no intention of entering the front hall. Instead, he looked at Song Jinyue and asked, "Can I go with you to pay homage to the Duke? I haven't gone to pay homage to the Duke for quite some time."

Song Jinyue looked at Qin Sheng's sincere look and couldn't bear to refuse,

Finally, he took him to meet his father.

The simmering anger of Song Guogong was about to explode, but when he saw his daughter and Lord Qin coming, his anger was finally extinguished.

Aunt Tian served tea herself.

"Master Qin, why do you have time to visit us today? Are you busy these days?"

Song Guogong took the tea cup and asked casually.

Qin Sheng's face was serious as he answered one by one: "I'm here today. Actually, I have something important to discuss with the Duke."

Song Guogong's eyes paused, he slowly put down the tea cup in his hand, coughed a few times, "I wonder what's wrong with Mr. Qin?"

Qin Sheng looked at Song Jinyue, and Song Jinyue's heart tightened.

Qin Sheng stood up slowly, bowed his hands, bent down slightly, and said slowly: "My lord, can you allow me to advance my wedding date with the second lady?"

There was no foreshadowing, Qin Sheng went straight to the point.

Song Guogong was stunned.

Song Jinyue was dissatisfied and suppressed her anger for a while.

"Why?"

"Reporting to the Duke, I don't want the second young lady to be criticized by others."

There was determination in Qin Sheng's eyes.

Song Guogong lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked up at his daughter and asked her what she thought.

But Song Jinyue felt a little upset and didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Song Guogong called Qin Sheng to his side to talk.

The two of them whispered for a while.

When Song Jinyue sent Qin Sheng away from the Duke's Mansion, she didn't even ask him what he had said to his father.

Previously, Qin Sheng agreed to be the son-in-law of the Duke, but she didn't have much trouble in her heart.

She has never been married to anyone in her past life.

The hatred in her previous life was too heavy, and she didn't have much thought about her own marriage. Her previous intention was just to break off the engagement with He Yuanjie smoothly.

"The Duke of Guo also thinks that the twenty-ninth year of the year is a good day. When I return to the country, I will invite a matchmaker to come and hire someone. I will then look for someone to repair the Qin Mansion. Although I want to live with you in the country in the future.

government,

But that house should be repaired after all.

I don’t want you to be talked about by others, I will do my best to give you the best.”

Song Jinyue didn't speak, just looked at Qin Sheng quietly.

"I will be free in two days and will take you out of the city for a walk."

Before Qin Sheng led her away, he told her.

Firstly, I wanted to take her out to relax, and secondly, I also wanted to let her escape the troubles of leaving the capital temporarily.

In the end, Song Jinyue just gave a slight "hmm", which was regarded as acquiescence.

Just this "yes", I don't know if it is a tacit consent to go out with him for fun or a tacit consent that the wedding date has been set.

He only thought that she had acquiesced in these two things, and left the Duke's Mansion happily.

In the evening, Cousin Zhi sent someone to deliver a letter to her.

The letter stated that the prince's cousin could now speak some simple words, and he was no longer as dull as before.

She also mentioned that her aunt Xie asked her to come over tomorrow.

Song Jinyue asked someone to reply to the letter and agreed.

After dinner, she summoned Song Zhi.

Song Zhi didn't know why the second young lady called him here today. He hadn't seen Song Qing for a long time. He heard the boy below mentioned that Song Qing was working for the second young lady again.

It's just that no one knows what to do.

"Song Zhi, who are you and the one on duty in the mansion now?"

Seeing that the second young lady was asking about the guards of the Duke's Mansion, Song Zhi hurriedly said: "Back to the Second Miss, I am now in charge of guarding the Duke's Mansion at night, and my father, Manager Song, is in charge of it during the day."

"You find someone who is reliable and can be promoted to be responsible for the daytime duty temporarily. Manager Song has more things to do every day, so don't add too many things to your father.

After a while, Song Qing has finished his work and will put the newly promoted person in charge of night duty. You and I have other arrangements."

Song Jinyue said slowly.

Song Zhi was slightly stunned, but did not show much emotion, but responded respectfully.

After Song Zhi left, Song Jinyue changed her clothes, washed herself, blew out the lamp, opened the curtain and went to the couch to rest.

Early the next morning, after lunch, Song Jinyue got into the carriage and went straight to Zhang's Mansion.

Only when we arrived at the Zhang Mansion did we learn that my grandmother and my aunt Xie had entered the palace early this morning.

Now only Cousin Zhi is with the prince.

The nuns of the Zhang Mansion welcomed Song Jinyue to the first pavilion.

Arriving outside the courtyard gate, Song Jinyue ordered her mother to retreat.

Then he led Qiu Yun forward, pushed open the ajar door of the first pavilion, and saw Cousin Zhi's maid guarding the corridor at the door.

Song Jin then ordered Qiu Yun to stay here together with the maidservant.

I went into the house to look for Cousin Zhi and His Royal Highness the Prince.
