Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 240 Something strange in the letter

Author: Yu Shao

When Mrs. Lin heard this, her face immediately dropped.

Mrs. Du stepped forward to calm the atmosphere.

But Song Jinyue no longer wanted to stay here any longer.

So he got up and said goodbye to Mrs. Du. Mrs. Du did not ask her to stay and sent her out of the house in person.

"Today... I'm really sorry, Princess." Mrs. Du apologized full of it.

Song Jinyue did not follow Mrs. Du's words.

Mrs. Du then explained to her: "Princess, I will personally come to apologize to you someday. You also know that my mother, there is nothing I can do..."

Although the words were not stated clearly, they were filled with Mrs. Du's endless bitterness and embarrassment.

Since the concubine married Mr. Zhao, as Mr. Zhao's official career has been prosperous, Aunt Zhou has become more and more proud in the mansion.

Over the years, my mother's life in the Lin Mansion has been really unhappy.

Moreover, my father often showed favoritism to protect Aunt Zhou, which made my mother feel even more disappointed.

But for the sake of the children at home, my mother greets her with a smile every day and becomes more and more polite to her father. On the contrary, there is less intimacy and heart-to-heart communication between the husband and wife.

What I said today is what my father meant.

The mother could not refuse, so she asked her daughter to invite Miss Song Er to come to the Du Mansion, and she brought Zhou and the evildoer together.

Why not in Lin Mansion?

She had naturally asked her master about this matter.

But the master said he was worried that Miss Song Er would not come.

That's how today's episode came about.

"Mrs. Du, I have never been a generous person. I can give Mrs. Du some face for today's matter, but..."

Seeing that there seemed to be room for maneuver in her words, Mrs. Du naturally wanted to make up for it.

He hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter if the princess says it, I will try my best to do it."

Song Jinyue looked at Mrs. Du, and after a moment, she made a decision and said, "I won't hide anything from Mrs. Du. A few days ago, on the night of my eldest sister's wedding, a fire broke out in the Duke's Mansion. Although the fire was extinguished,

But my eldest sister’s biological mother, Shen, has disappeared.”

Mrs. Du had heard a little bit about this matter, but she had never heard about Shen's disappearance, and the matter had not been reported to the official.

Why did Song Jinyue mention this matter to him now?

"I don't know the princess?"

"If Mrs. Du is really serious, just help me find Mrs. Shen. Today's matter will be written off and there will be no need to mention it in the future."

"But?" Mrs. Du was in a bit of a dilemma. Even the Duke's Mansion could not find Mrs. Shen. How could she, a reclusive housewife, be found?

Song Jinyue raised her lips and smiled slightly, taking a step forward, but her eyes turned towards the main courtyard of Du Mansion as if unintentionally. That direction was where Mrs. Lin was.

"Think about it, if Mrs. Du asks to go to the Lin Mansion, she might be able to get some clues."

After saying this, Song Jinyue felt blessed, took Qiu Yun's hand, and stepped onto the carriage of the Duke's Mansion.

Mrs. Du frowned and froze at the door for some time.

Thinking about the meaning of Song Jinyue's words.

Why did she mention Lin Mansion?

But what does the Lin family have to do with Shen’s disappearance?

This thought flashed past, and Mrs. Du hurriedly ran straight to the main courtyard.

In the carriage, Qiu Yun looked at her young lady and asked: "Miss, what if Mrs. Du refuses to help and the Lin family takes advantage of this to transfer the Shen family?"

Song Jinyue leaned back, and Qiu Yun quickly took the soft pillow and put it behind her lady.

"I didn't plan to ask Mrs. Du to help, but I used her to tell the Lin family that we already know about Shen's affairs in the Lin family."

"Then what are you going to do next, Miss?"

Song Jinyue pursed her lips, glanced at Qiu Yun, a silly girl, with helplessness, and patiently explained to her: "Of course I'm waiting for the fish to take the bait. The Lin family knows that I know about this, so there will definitely be someone."

actions.

Either move Mr. Shen to another place and hide him, or come to my door and ask Ms. Shen to negotiate with me.

But no matter what the Lin family chooses, the initiative is now in my hands.

We have already thrown out the hook and bait, and just calm down and wait for the fish to take the bait."

In fact, there is another layer of relationship, which Song Jinyue did not mention to Qiu Yun.

That is, Shen's biological father is from an enemy country. She already knows that if the Lin family can help Shen, they must also know Shen's biological father.

Taifu Lin was also the prince's mentor. He framed the prince behind his back and had connections with enemy countries.

If this matter is exposed, the whole Lin family may not be able to escape the crime of killing the nine clans.

After returning to the Duke's Mansion, Song Jinyue ordered Song Zhi and his men to secretly keep an eye on the Lin Mansion.

Went back inside and had a cup of tea.

Then she signaled Qiu Yun to close the door.

She sat on the soft couch and took out the letter Xu Yun handed her today.

But when she saw the contents of the letter clearly, Song Jinyue's pupils shrank suddenly and her heart became empty.

His expression was solemn.

She clenched the letter in her hand tightly, frowned, and her eyes were full of shock.

This letter was not left by Imperial Physician Xu.

There was no signature, but she also knew that Xu Yun did not know the content of the letter, otherwise she would never have handed the letter into her hands.

"Miss?"

Seeing that her young lady was on guard, Qiu Yun called out softly and came forward.

Song Jinyue closed the letter casually and said quietly: "Qiu Yun, I'm hungry. Go get me some cakes."

Although Qiu Yun was confused, she followed her lady's instructions and retreated.

After the door closed again, she unfolded the letter paper again and stared at the content of the letter word by word.

She didn't believe what was stated in the letter, but she believed a few things.

Just because many of these things are too coincidental.

Imperial Physician Xu, who was only eight years old at the time, fled all the way to the capital and was killed by his relatives. He almost starved to death on the way.

By chance, he was rescued by Master Du, who was still the Minister of Household Affairs at that time. Later, Imperial Physician Xu was able to enter the imperial hospital, and he was also closely related to Master Du.

This matter was related to something Wang told the Queen's aunt, who said that Imperial Physician Xu had no relatives in the capital, and it would not be easy for someone to betray the Queen.

The wife of Imperial Physician Xu is just the daughter of an ordinary family.

Mrs. Xu is not Qin Sheng’s aunt.

The letter mentioned that Qin Sheng was willing to take in the Xu siblings because they were of the blood of their benefactor.

In fact, there was only one major event that shocked the government and the public. There was a great battle at the border, in which countless soldiers froze to death and starved to death. Later it was discovered that the Minister of Revenue had embezzled millions of military pay.

The entire Du family was executed.

Even though Mr. Du has always been honest and upright in his administration, when the Royal Guards confiscated one million taels of silver from the Du Mansion, it shocked the government and the public.

Qin Sheng and Qin Wan are Lord Du's children.

At that time, Dr. Xu risked his life to save the two siblings and sent them to Dingzhou.

In fact, Song Jinyue was still in her mother's womb when these things happened.

But it was my mother who mentioned this matter to me, and I couldn't help but feel regretful.

But no one can guarantee what happened back then. After all, the one million taels of silver were confiscated from the Du Mansion.

Qin Sheng entered the court as an official this time just for revenge!

Song Jinyue loosened her grip on the letter and the letter slipped quietly.

She also remembered an incident from the past.

The reason why the Du Mansion was confiscated was because the Queen's aunt received a secret report from Lord Du, the Minister of Household Affairs.

The emperor then issued an order to inspect the Du Mansion.
