Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 225 Even if it turns upside down

Author: Yu Shao

Song Jinyue didn't know when she fell asleep or what time it was.

She just fell asleep leaning against the wooden door.

When she woke up, she was a little thirsty. When she came to Zhao's house today, she only had a little breakfast, and now she was ravenous.

No one from the Zhao family came to see her.

She didn't know if the Zhao family wanted to see her, or if they would starve her to death here?

But then I thought about Mr. Zhao's affection for Peony.

I was afraid that I might find out the whereabouts of Peony from her.

She didn't know what was going on outside, or whether Qiuyun and the others were still outside the greenhouse.

Outside the Zhao Mansion, Mrs. Xie has come to the door aggressively with the guards of the Zhang Mansion. The prince has gradually recovered in the past two days and will be able to return to the East Palace in a few days.

When Zhang Dingzhi learned that his cousin was missing in the Zhao Mansion, he could not take care of the prince for a while, so he and his mother went to the Zhao Mansion with others.

The riots in the Zhao Mansion have been well controlled, and all the enemy's assassins have been hanged.

After this commotion, all the ladies took their ladies and returned home.

Zhang Dingzhi supported his mother on the couch on the stone street in front of the Zhao Mansion.

Lord Zhao was interrogating the servants in the mansion in the front hall, while Mrs. Zhao and her daughter were looking around the mansion.

When she learned that Mrs. Zhang had come with her bodyguard and looked at the unkind person, Mrs. Zhao snorted and then went out to greet Mrs. Zhang.

"Mrs. Zhang, I'm really, really sorry." Mrs. Zhao stepped forward and took Mrs. Zhang's hand and started crying.

Mrs. Zhang withdrew her hand from Mrs. Zhao, snorted coldly, looked at Mrs. Zhao and asked: "Mrs. Zhao, Yue'er was lost in your house, the Zhao house must give me an explanation!"

Mrs. Zhao took out her handkerchief and pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes, "Mrs. Zhang, it's our Zhao family who can't stand up to the princess, but today, the family caused such a misfortune, and who would have thought that the princess was lost in this panic."

"Mrs. Zhao, then you can send someone to search the house carefully!"

"I was just leading people to look for the princess everywhere." Mrs. Zhao came out looking for an excuse.

Ms. Xie sneered and glanced at Mrs. Zhao, "So? Still not found?"

"Mrs. Zhang, let's go in and talk first."

There was a crowd of people watching the excitement around the door, and it was hard for the Zhao Mansion to send people to drive them away.

Mrs. Zhao had no choice but to talk to Mrs. Zhang.

Ms. Xie also knew that Yue'er was lost in the Zhao Mansion, and the Zhao Mansion was the only place to search.

The guards of the Zhang Mansion followed their mistress into the Zhao Mansion.

Today, Mrs. Xie came with most of the guards from the Zhang family. Yue'er's disappearance was still hidden from her mother-in-law. If Yue'er could not be found, her mother-in-law might not be able to bear the bad news.

Therefore, today, Mrs. Xie was determined not to leave the Zhao Mansion unless she found someone.

Mrs. Zhao welcomed Mrs. Zhang to the front hall. When Mr. Zhao saw Mrs. Zhang coming with a group of guards, his face became a little unhappy.

Lord Zhao greeted Mrs. Zhang and then left the front hall. Mrs. Zhang had her own wife to greet her.

Master Zhao did not stay in the mansion, but took the corpse of the enemy assassin to Dali Temple.

After everything was settled properly, Mr. Zhao went into the palace again to report to the emperor what happened in the palace today.

In the front hall of the Zhao Mansion, Mrs. Zhang looked at Mrs. Zhao with a straight face, "Mrs. Zhao, I will give you an hour. If the Zhao Mansion cannot give an explanation, then I will order the guards to turn the Zhao Mansion upside down!"

Xie's whole body exuded strong anger.

Mrs. Zhao smiled apologetically and discussed with Mrs. Xie: "Mrs. Zhang, this, this is not appropriate."

Without an imperial edict, how can there be any reason for other guards to search?

If Xie is really like this, someone in the court will definitely impeach the Zhang family.

"Mrs. Zhao, I have already told you the ugly things. Go and tell the servants in the house to search for them. If you can't find any results, don't blame me for being rude! Our Zhang family will never tolerate the fact that my niece is unclear about her whereabouts.

The Zhao family is missing!"

Xie gave an ultimatum.

Mrs. Zhao had no choice but to go out and arrange for someone to look for her.

Mrs. Xie then ordered someone to call the maidservant who had followed her niece to the Zhao Mansion for a banquet today.

Only Qiu Yun came, while San Ming and Jiao Ming stayed in the flower house courtyard.

"Madam." Qiu Yun was brought to the front hall by the servants of Zhao Mansion. When she saw Mrs. Xie coming, she walked in quickly. When she reached the hall, she knelt down on the ground and choked: "Madam, please help me."

My lady."

Mrs. Xie frowned, sighed, and then asked: "Qiu Yun, you must not omit everything that happened when you accompanied Yue'er to the Zhao Mansion today."

Only then did Qiu Yun report everything that happened in Zhao Mansion today to Ms. Xie in detail.

Zhang Dingzhi stood behind her mother, quite unable to sit still. She listened carefully to Qiu Yun's account of what happened today.

Only then did I learn that my cousin disappeared after entering the Zhao Mansion’s flower room.

As for whether he disappeared while following a group of ladies out of the side door of the greenhouse, or whether he disappeared inside the greenhouse, no one knows.

An hour later, Zhao Mansion still had no explanation.

Mrs. Zhao claimed that she was ill and refused to come out, so she only asked Zhao Zhu to come out to deal with Mr. Xie.

When Mrs. Xie saw that Mrs. Zhao actually sent her daughter out, she became dissatisfied and ignored Zhao Zhu.

Instead, he looked at the guards waiting outside and said loudly: "Go, search the Zhao Mansion for me, and find Yue'er for me!"

"Mrs. Zhang, this is inappropriate."

Seeing Mrs. Xie's order to go down, Zhao Zhu hurriedly stopped in the courtyard and blocked the guards of the Zhang family in front of her. She looked at Mrs. Xie and choked up: "Mrs. Zhang, what you did is too much!"

For a long while, Zhao Zhu could only hold back this sentence.

The guards of the Zhang Mansion were all from the military, and they had a solemn and murderous air about them.

It would be a lie to say that I am not afraid.

But she trembled and still didn't flinch even a step.

Her mother specifically ordered her to deal with Mrs. Zhang just for this reason.

If a search was really carried out, traces of Song Jinyue would inevitably be found.

The mother originally wanted to move Song Jinyue from the flower room to another place, but unexpectedly, Song Jinyue's maid stayed in the flower room. In order not to alarm the enemy, the mother had to stay put and wait and see.

Mrs. Xie looked at her daughter and gave her a wink. Zhang Dingzhi understood and hurriedly led her maid forward. She took Zhao Zhu and her maid to the side to wait.

"Mrs. Zhang!" Zhao Zhu shouted.

But Xie walked straight out of the front hall of the Zhao Mansion with her guards, ignoring Zhao Zhu.

Mrs. Xie just led the people out of the front hall and saw Qin Sheng, who had not changed out of his court clothes, holding a bright yellow imperial edict in his hand and coming with guards behind him.

Seeing Mrs. Xie, Qin Sheng bowed and then explained to Mr. Xie: "Mrs. Zhang, I have requested an imperial order to search the Zhao Mansion."

When Mrs. Zhao learned that Qin Sheng had brought the imperial edict, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and come out to receive the edict.

Qin Sheng ordered the guards to clean up the food everywhere, while he left a few guards to go to the flower room to check.

Mrs. Xie took her daughter with her to the flower room of the Zhao Mansion.

Mrs. Zhao wanted to stop her, but she was afraid of arousing suspicion, so she had to follow her so that she could act according to the opportunity.

Before coming, Mrs. Zhao had already ordered someone to deliver a message to her master.

The door to the flower room was pushed open, and Qin Sheng walked in with the guards.

Mrs. Zhao warned from the side: "Master Qin, these flowers are extremely precious. Please ask Master Qin to tell them not to damage these precious flowers."

Before Qin Sheng could say anything, Mrs. Xie sneered, looked at Madam Zhao, and scolded: "What? In Madam Zhao's eyes, a noble princess can't compare to these flowers in your mansion?"

Mrs. Zhao looked embarrassed and said hurriedly: "Mrs. Zhang misunderstood me."

However, Mrs. Xie paid no attention to her meaning and looked carefully in the room, hoping to find any trace of Yue'er.

Seeing Mrs. Xie speaking, Qin Sheng didn't say anything more. There was nothing strange about the flower pots in the house. He crossed the screen and walked inside to check.

Seeing that the greenhouse was even equipped with bookcases and bookshelves, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Zhu and asked, "What books does Second Miss Zhao like to read on weekdays?"

Zhao Zhu was a little confused by Qin Sheng's question. She didn't know why Mr. Qin asked her like this.

He said hurriedly: "On weekdays, I mostly read some books on poetry, female precepts and Zen."
