Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 256 Two people are in love

Author: Yu Shao

As there were no more rumors about Dingzhou in the capital, everyone in the capital seemed to have forgotten the previous rumors.

But the imperial guards in front of Zhang Mansion have not retreated yet.

It is extremely difficult to enter the Zhang Mansion now.

She had previously ordered Song Zhi to go to Dingzhou and follow Mr. Zhao, but she didn't know what the outcome was. Song Zhi also didn't send anyone to send a message back.

The days passed were extremely difficult.

In the blink of an eye, it’s the twenty-seventh year of the new year.

Song Jinyue couldn't help but feel a little melancholy when she remembered the wedding date she had set with Qin Sheng.

On this day, Qin Wan came to her door and invited her to go shopping.

"Sister Jinyue, I haven't seen you in these days, and I look even more haggard when I look at you." Qin Wan felt a little distressed when she saw Song Jinyue's thin figure.

Despite the thick clothes, she could still see signs of weight loss on Song Jinyue's face at a glance.

Song Jinyue smiled calmly.

Qin Wan said again: "Sister Jinyue, it's almost the end of the New Year, and the capital has become more and more lively in the past two days. You have free time today. Would you like to go shopping with me on the street?"

Qiu Yun was waiting on the side, and for fear that her young lady would not agree, she also echoed Qin Wan: "Yes, young lady, you haven't gone out for a while. Everything is stable when you come in, so why not go out to relieve your boredom?"

"

"Forget it, let's go out for a walk today."

Being persuaded by the two people, Song Jinyue couldn't bear to refuse again and make them feel disappointed.

Song Guogong's leg injury has gradually recovered, and he is now on duty every day. It happened that Song Guogong was not in the mansion, so Song Jinyue ordered the kitchen to deliver lunch only to Aunt Tian.

If you go out today, you will definitely have to eat out.

The streets of the capital were bustling with people, and Qin Wan took her to shop one shop after another.

From a powder shop, to a jewelry shop, and then to a pastry shop.

The two of them gained a lot.

When it was time for lunch, Song Jinyue served as host and invited Qin Wan to join him for lunch.

We went to Cuixianglou and had lunch in the private room.

Song Jinyue naturally asked Qiu Yun to sit down and eat together.

Seeing Qin Wan looking at her from time to time, Song Jinyue guessed that she might have something to say to her, but she probably didn't know how to say it.

"You took me out to relax, but I noticed that you seemed to have something to say to me? Why don't you come and let me listen to you and see what happened to you?" Song Jinyue said openly and calmly.

He put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked.

Qin Wan pursed her lips, then put down her bowls and chopsticks, and spoke hesitantly, "I want to ask Sister Jinyue about your marriage to your brother..."

She secretly looked at Song Jinyue's expression. The wedding date was previously set, but it was postponed for a year due to Mrs. Shen's mourning period.

But now her brother has not returned, and he has never told her why he left Beijing.

She was worried that there was some rift between the two of them.

After all, she has identified Song Jinyue as her sister-in-law.

"That's why I came here." Song Jinyue looked like he suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "I just thought you wanted to talk to me about something. Your brother and I have nothing to do, so don't worry."

After saying that, she raised her hand and patted Qin Wan's shoulder gently.

What happened between her and Qin Sheng was ultimately their business.

She didn't want to involve Qin Wan and cause trouble with them.

"Sister Jinyue, there is one more thing..." Qin Wan had a strange blush on her face.

This made Song Jinyue curious, "What's the matter?"

His tone also lowered a bit.

"Zhang, Mr. Zhang, has he sent a letter to Sister Jinyue recently?"

After Qin Wan finished speaking, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and raised her eyes to stare at Song Jinyue with a clear light shining in her eyes.

"Your cousin?"

Song Jinyue couldn't guess anything about Qin Wan's shy look, but she was a little curious.

Are Qin Wan and cousin Ping in love with each other? Or is it something else?

Her cousin, who was a commoner, had stayed in the capital since he was a child, so after all, he was tainted with the swagger of a playboy.

Qin Wan has a simple and kind nature.

She was worried that Cousin Ping might not be a good match for Qin Wan.

It's not that she thinks her maternal grandfather's family will look down upon Qin Wanlai. The descendants of the Zhang family don't value family status in their marriages.

Cousin Qiping has been staying in the capital for all these years. If he was interested in that young lady, I think my aunt would have sent a matchmaker to discuss the marriage long ago.

Over the years, Cousin Ping has never looked at anyone else in the capital differently.

Qin Wan nodded shyly twice, her eyes full of joy, "I am in Dingzhou, but there are no letters these days, so I am a little worried..."

After all, the emperor ordered General Zhao, the official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, to take General Zhang and Little General Zhang into custody and return them to the capital.

However, the second young master Zhang did not have an official status in the army. Originally, she only thought that young master Ping would return with the Zhang family's father and brother.

But now the Zhang family has not returned yet, and there is no news from Beijing.

Mr. Ping never sent her another letter, which inevitably made her worried, so today she went out to find Song Jinyue.

Song Jinyue still didn't understand. The two were already in love, so what could she do to stop her? She raised her hand to hold Qin Wan's hand and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, there is no news from Dingzhou.

That's a good thing. If there is a letter, it must not be a good thing, and there is no news spread among the capital and the palace. It shows that everything is fine with my cousin, so don't worry."

After Song Jinyue returned to the Duke's Mansion, before she could change her clothes, Nanny Yuan came in a hurry.

"Second Miss, it's not good!"

Grandma Yuan looked anxious and a bit nervous.

Song Jinyue's heart sank, and she hurriedly signaled to Nanny Yuan to speak carefully, "Nanny, please speak slowly."

"The city is under martial law, it's a mess outside, and the thieves are taking advantage of the situation to cause chaos. The streets are filled with panic."

Aunt Yuan took a breath and said again: "Just now, Manager Song came to deliver a message, saying that it was the Duke's order, and the house has been closed for the past two days. The old slave is watching, fearing that there will be chaos!"

Song Jinyue frowned, this was the first time that martial law was imposed without warning.

Moreover, there are some thieves causing trouble in the city. What is the patrol officer doing?

"Where are the officials?"

Grandma Yuan shook her head and sighed: "Many people poured out of nowhere on the street. Now all the people from the city inspection department are guarding the city gate. There are no official officials on the street..."

"Have you heard about the other reasons?"

Aunt Yuan glanced outside, then approached the second young lady, and said in a low voice: "I went to the street today and happened to bump into a group of troublemakers, so I heard a few words from those people, saying...

The emperor suddenly fainted in the royal study today. The palace suppressed the matter so that the news did not spread, and I am not sure whether it is true or not."

Song Jinyue's heart sank.

Thinking of his past life and counting the time, it was probably around this time that the emperor died of poisoning.

Thinking about it, I'm afraid it's true.

However, the fifth prince, He Yuanjie, was not in the capital at this time, and Concubine Ye was dead. The only person who could poison the emperor was probably the most noble master in the harem.
