Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 22 Reinforcement

Song Jinyue lowered his head and straightened his sleeves. Master Du finally realized that he had become a sharp knife in the hands of others today.

A sharp blade that wants Miss Song's life.

Although there is no news about the messenger, the stolen goods are indeed placed in the hall. Mr. Du looked at Miss Song Er and felt that she was a hot potato right now.

If we put people in jail and wait until evidence is found before releasing them, we are afraid that one of the people in the palace will not comply, and how can the Zhang family be willing to give up?

Mr. Du was in trouble for a moment, but Miss Song was calm and composed, which was in sharp contrast to Mr. Du.

If he was said to be released, what excuse would be used to release him?

So what should we do with this stolen property?

"Master Du, there is no need to be embarrassed. I naturally have a way to prove that this thing has nothing to do with me." Song Jinyue slightly raised her head and looked at Master Du.

Her skin is white and rosy under a lake-blue skirt. Although her face is tied with a green veil, her pair of smart apricot eyes make people marvel at the stunning appearance beneath the green veil.

Master Du was puzzled and turned his head to look at his master. The two looked at each other and the master understood the key. He nodded and motioned to Master Du to listen to Miss Song's words first.

"When I left the house, I sent my maid to find someone who could prove my innocence. Mr. Du will wait a moment."

Master Du then remembered that Miss Song Er seemed to have conveyed some words to her maid in the Marquis Mansion just now.

"Then I'll wait a moment." Mr. Du did not directly tell Miss Song to return home.

The bluestone slabs in the city patrol hall are covered with a thin ink-colored carpet, and the black-painted pillars in the hall accompany the empty interior, which makes it feel a bit depressed.

Qin Wan stood at the door, not daring to move a step for fear of losing Miss Song Er, which would make her feel extremely regretful.

She didn't notice at all the young man in a black short robe who was flying towards her behind her.

The young man is tall and tall, with a graceful figure. A black belt ties up his black hair, which is fastened with a white and clear jade hairpin.

His sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes are sharp and angular. If it weren't for the frowning eyebrows that make people a little scared, he would be a young man as gentle as jade.

"Yue'er..."

A clear voice made everyone in the courtroom move toward the door. Qin Wan, who was waiting at the door, also looked back.

The young man came trotting all the way. Qin Wan turned around and bumped into the young man.

"Ouch..." Qin Wan felt pain and fell straight towards the bluestone floor at the door of the hall, with a look of panic on her face.

The young man hurriedly reached out and took Qin Wan's arm. Qin Wan's heart was beating wildly.

When the young man saw that she was standing firm, he let go of her hand, said "Sorry", and ran straight into the courtroom.

The person who came was none other than Zhang Dingping, the second son of the Zhang family.

Zhang Dingping walked up to his cousin, glanced at her, and told her not to worry. Then he looked at Mr. Du and saluted, "Mr. Du."

Mr. Du nodded slightly, guessing in his mind that this was probably the witness mentioned by Miss Song.

Zhang Dingping took out a stack of sheepskin baggage that had aged a lot from his arms, and placed the yellowed sheepskin baggage on the black square table next to Song Jinyue.

He untied the cotton rope tied to it and opened the sheepskin covering it. Inside was a yellowing scroll.

He carefully took out the scroll, held it in his hand, walked to Master Du, and said: "Master Du, before I came here, I heard about my cousin being framed. I would like to ask Master Du to take a look at this scroll."

The master who was sitting aside quickly stood up, walked to Master Zhang, took the scroll, and then presented it to Master Dao Du.

Lord Du unfolded the scroll and looked at it carefully.

Mr. Zhang Er continued: "My ancestors of the Zhang family once made a ancestral precept that the birth time of any daughter born in the family must be reported a few hours later. Therefore, the birth dates of my two aunts known to the outside are not true.

, only close relatives will know these things.”

Mr. Zhang Er looked at his cousin and nodded with a smile. Although she was wearing a veil, the little girl's appearance hidden under the veil was already very beautiful.

I just heard that my cousin had returned to Beijing last night, and I thought that my aunt in the palace would definitely bring her into the palace this morning.

The Zhang family had decided to pick her up tomorrow and stay there for two days, but today her maid Qiu Yun came to Zhang's house in a hurry.

Mrs. Zhang fainted several times due to anger, and now her mother and sister were taking care of her at home. He then requested a genealogy from the ancestral hall to clear his cousin's suspicions.

Master Du glanced at Mr. Zhang with a deep look, then lowered his head and continued to look at the scroll on the table.

As expected, the birth dates of the empress and the late Duke's wife were different from those of the witchcraft doll.

He put the scroll away and handed it to the master beside him.

The master leaned down and whispered a few words to Mr. Du, and then respectfully handed the scroll back to Mr. Zhang.

"Then this disobedient thing will be temporarily suppressed by the City Patrol Department. When the cause and consequences of this matter are found out, Du will come to apologize again."

Song Jinyue stood up, bowed, and said slowly: "I've caused trouble to Mr. Du."

From entering the City Patrol Division to leaving, it took no more than half a stick of incense.

Zhang Dingping escorted his cousin out of the City Patrol Division and saw Qin Wan at the door. He had never seen this girl before, "Cousin, who is this?"

It can be seen that this girl is extremely nervous about her cousin, and she has never heard that her cousin has a new maid.

"A friend." Song Jinyue lowered her eyes and explained, then looked at Qin Wan.

"Cousin Ping, this is Miss Qin Wan." Song Jinyue continued, "This is my second cousin, the second son of the Zhang family."

The two of them greeted each other, and the carriage of the Duke's Palace stopped at the gate of the City Patrol Division. Zhang Dingping rode up just now, and Qiu Yun followed behind, but he has not arrived yet.

After waiting for a while, I saw Qiu Yun running towards the end of the long street, panting.

Qiu Yun breathed heavily, bent over, put one hand on the hand Qin Wan handed over, and put the other hand on her chest to breathe slowly, and then sighed, "Miss, I'm really scared to death, maid."

Son..."

There was a bit of sadness in his tone.

Song Jinyue felt a little sorry for this girl and asked her to get into the carriage with Qin Wan. Then she glanced at her second cousin and motioned for him to come with her.

It wasn't until they reached a secluded dead end that Song Jinyue said, "Cousin Ping, have you been busy lately?"

For some reason, Zhang Dingping was startled and immediately put away his undisciplined temper. He knew that his cousin might have something important to mention to him, so he shook his head and said, "There's nothing important lately, but it's okay to say it, cousin."

"Okay." Song Jinyue looked solemn and spoke slowly, "Cousin, help me go to Dingzhou to check on two people."

Zhang Dingping frowned and was puzzled. Why did his cousin ask him to go to Dingzhou to help investigate people? "But it has something to do with the witchcraft doll?"

Song Jinyue shook her head and said, "Cousin, listen to me first."
