Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 241 Another past event

Author: Yu Shao

Song Jinyue felt as if a thousand kilograms of weight had been pressed all over her body, making her unable to move.

She wanted to go find Qin Sheng and ask him.

But calming down, she told herself that she should never ask about this matter.

She didn't know whether Qin Sheng's life experience was as stated in the letter.

She didn't even know who Qin Sheng wanted to take revenge on?

Is it the current emperor? Or the queen's aunt?

After all, the secret letter that exposed the Du family was handed over to the emperor by my aunt.

She couldn't sit still, so she ordered someone to pass a sign to the palace, and mentioned to her aunt that she wanted to take Aunt Muyun into the palace to see the Queen Mother. She did not mention other things in the letter.

The queen received the sign from her niece that she was entering the palace. She thought about it for a moment and then went to mention the matter to the emperor.

After all, no one is allowed to enter the Empress Dowager's palace without a purpose.

This was not something she could decide on easily.

When Song Jinyue, who was in the Duke's Mansion, received the letter from her aunt, she felt relieved.

The emperor allowed her to take Aunt Muyun into the palace.

Song Jinyue then ordered Qiu Yun to send a message to Aunt Muyun and take her into the palace to see the Queen Mother early tomorrow morning.

For this reason, Aunt Muyun didn't sleep well all night.

The next morning, even looking at the heavy makeup could not hide the haggard look on my face.

Seeing Song Jinyue, Aunt Mu Yun weakly pulled her lips and showed a pale smile, "Second Miss, thank you very much for today."

After seeing the ceremony, the maid behind her hurriedly helped Aunt Muyun up.

"My aunt is so haggard, do you need to invite a doctor to see her?"

Aunt Muyun shook her head feebly and declined Song Jinyue's kindness, "Second Miss, it's okay, let's go to the palace quickly."

Song Jinyue said nothing more and ordered someone to bring some pastries. Then she left the Duke's Mansion, got on the carriage, and went straight to the palace.

There is only one carriage prepared today.

Aunt Muyun sat near the door with her personal maid.

Song Jinyue and Qiu Yun sat in the back seat.

After getting on the carriage, Aunt Muyun looked at her apologetically. Song Jinyue understood and ordered: "Auntie, please rest first."

With the instruction of the second young lady, Aunt Muyun rested peacefully against her maid.

When we arrived at the palace gate, it was an hour and a half later.

Aunt Muyun did not wake up during the whole journey. When the carriage stopped, she slowly opened her eyes.

After getting off the carriage, they were greeted by an unfamiliar and tight-looking palace maid from Zhaohua Palace.

After seeing the ceremony, several people followed the palace lady's guidance and went to Zhaohua Hall.

After meeting the Queen, the Queen ordered Xiangxiu to lead Aunt Muyun to the Queen Mother's palace.

Song Jinyue did not follow, and the queen took her into the inner hall to talk.

"Don't worry, His Majesty has made all arrangements for today."

The queen saw something wrong with her nephew's expression, and couldn't help asking: "Look, aunt, you are so worried today. But what happened?"

Song Jinyue helped her aunt sit on the soft couch, and then said: "I guess it's because I didn't sleep well yesterday, but when I enter the palace today, I want to ask my aunt about something."

"you say."

"Auntie, do you still remember Mr. Du, the Minister of Household Affairs?"

The queen frowned and her tone became a little urgent as she said, "How can you bring up this matter? Don't go out and inquire about it. The emperor is most taboo about others mentioning this matter."

The queen held Song Jinyue's hand and unknowingly tightened her grip.

Song Jinyue frowned slightly. Her aunt's attitude showed that there might be something fishy about what happened back then.

"Aunt, I know it, so I came to ask my aunt to find out something."

"Yue'er, have you found anything secretly?" The queen looked solemn, "Promise your aunt that you will never mention this matter again, and you will not investigate again."

This made Song Jinyue even more curious.

She raised her hand to rub her aunt's arm, and said coquettishly to her aunt: "Aunt, I won't tell anyone. Don't worry, I promise you!"

The aunt refused to mention the matter, and Song Jinyue refused to give up.

The two of them fought several times.

The queen was unable to withstand her niece's pitiful pleas, and finally relaxed after a long while.

Seeing that her aunt was finally willing to talk about the past, Song Jinyue hurriedly took a soft pillow and put it behind her.

He helped his aunt lean back again.

And she squatted next to her aunt, gently beating her legs for her aunt.

"Actually, the Du family's case has always been a thorn in His Majesty's heart over the years. Ultimately, His Majesty does not believe that Mr. Du would embezzle military pay.

But who told the Royal Forest Army to confiscate the million silver in the Du Mansion in the end?

Your Majesty immediately became angry with the Du family, and all the members of the Du family were imprisoned and then executed for nine clans, which lasted only ten days."

Speaking of the past, it would be a lie to say that the Queen did not blame herself.

But what happened back then was too much of a coincidence.

During the border war, her brother was almost killed in Dingzhou. How could she forgive this?

Later, the secret letter reporting the Du family was delivered to her. Without thinking much, she presented it to His Majesty.

When the entire Du family was executed, she secretly went to look for the person who sent the message, only to find that the person had disappeared. There was no trace of him in the huge palace.

She sent people to Du Mansion secretly to investigate.

This investigation allowed her to find out some clues.

Before he died, Mr. Du kept complaining, saying that he did not know there was a secret room in Du's mansion.

The people she secretly sent accidentally found out that there was a secret door behind the secret room of Du Mansion, and they led to an abandoned courtyard.

Someone saw someone carrying several boxes of things into the abandoned house.

But I didn’t see the box being carried out again later.

Finally, it was confirmed that the silver seized by the Du Mansion was carried into the abandoned courtyard.

She knew about this, and His Majesty also knew about it.

But the Du family is dead, and if you think about it carefully, your Majesty will inevitably lose face.

Therefore, the Du family's affairs have become a secret matter that His Majesty does not want to mention.

"Aunt, are all the Du family really dead?" Song Jinyue raised her head, looked at her aunt, and asked.

The queen paused slightly and coughed a few times, "Why are you asking about this?"

Seeing that her aunt looked strange, Song Jinyue's heart skipped a beat, and she lowered her voice and asked in a voice that only her aunt and she could hear. "But did my aunt save Mr. Du's child?"

The queen's face froze, and she quickly looked around carefully, pulled her niece to sit next to her, and warned: "Yue'er, don't talk nonsense!"

Song Jinyue nodded.

The queen let out a long sigh, and then continued, "In fact, Mr. Du was once the benefactor of Imperial Physician Xu. How could he stand by and watch something like that happen to the Du family?

Although I was angry with the Du family at first, I couldn't bear it when I learned that the Du family had been ordered to kill the nine clans.

Therefore, he secretly helped Doctor Xu to rescue Mr. Du's children.

Later, when I saw that Imperial Physician Xu sent the person out of the capital, I never sent anyone to check again."

She understood that if she asked someone to investigate, if the matter was revealed in the future, the two helpless children would really have no way of survival.

Therefore, when she saw that the person was sent out of the city, she felt relieved. As for where she went and how she lived in the future, she did not ask any more questions.

"So, Doctor Xu didn't know that my aunt was secretly helping her back then?"

The queen nodded.

Song Jinyue felt a little sour in her heart for no reason.
