Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 257 Wake up

Author: Yu Shao

"Has father returned home?"

Song Jinyue hurriedly asked about her father, who had already gone on duty every day.

These days I always go out early and come back late. It is said that I left a lot of things unfinished in the past few days. Now that I am in good health, I naturally have to deal with all the things I have accumulated in the past.

Grandma Yuan had a sad face and shook her head.

When Manager Song came to deliver the letter, she asked about the Duke. Manager Song only said that she was not sure when the Duke would return. Today, the person who came back to deliver the letter was the personal servant who went out with the Duke.

.

If the matter had not come to an emergency, this young man would never have left the Duke's side.

"Mommy, ask Manager Song to ask the guards from our house to go to Qin's house and bring Miss Qin to our house to stay for a few days. Just say it's my wish and ask Miss Qin not to delay and come right away.

.”

Grandma Yuan was thinking about the chaos in the city, and wanted to give the second lady a few words of advice. After all, in this situation, if the guards in the mansion were separated, and if something went wrong in the mansion, how could the second lady's safety be ensured?

But then I thought about it, Master Qin is not in the capital now, and the Qin family only has Miss Qin as its master.

The young servants in the Qin Mansion still don’t know what their situation is now.

If something goes wrong with Miss Qin, how will the Second Miss and Mr. Qin explain it?

After weighing the pros and cons, Grandma Yuan did not dare to delay any more. She agreed and hurriedly left.

Song Jinyue ordered people to clean up the two rooms on the right side of Mingzhuxuan.

Thinking of the Xu family siblings who lived in the Qin Mansion, she said again: "Qiu Yun, tell us to tidy up one more room and prepare a table of dishes in the kitchen."

Within half an hour, Qin Wan brought the Xu family siblings to the Duke's Mansion.

Seeing that there were only three of them, Song Jinyue couldn't help but ask: "Wan'er, why didn't you bring your maid with you?"

Qin Wan's face was full of guilt and she said: "Sister Jinyue, I don't need anyone to take care of me. I am extremely grateful that you can take me to the mansion to take refuge."

She said no more about the rest.

She just didn't want to cause more trouble to the Duke's government.

Song Jinyue had no choice but to let her go and sent two maids from Ming Zhuxuan to serve Qin Wan.

Xu Tian huddled behind his sister Xu Yun, and the two of them looked at Song Jinyue with a hint of caution.

This strange look naturally aroused Song Jinyue's idea, but she didn't say anything, looked at the two siblings with a smile, and then said to Qin Wan, "Go and wash up first, and we will have dinner together later.

"

Qin Wan nodded, and then took the Xu family siblings to the room to freshen up.

Song Jinyue waited until the eleventh hour before her father returned.

After receiving the letter, she immediately went to the study to see her father. She had previously asked the porter's boy to tell her father that she had something to discuss with him, so Song Guogong returned to the house, changed his clothes and went to the study.

Hearing from his servants that his second daughter had brought the Miss Qin family over, Song Guogong didn't say anything. He only asked people to treat her well and not to neglect the Miss Qin family.

After all, Mr. Qin is his son-in-law who will ride a dragon. How can he let the servants in the house treat his future son-in-law's only sister poorly?

"Father." The boy opened the study door and Song Jinyue walked in. She saw her father sitting at the desk. She stepped forward and bowed.

Duke Guo of Song then motioned to his second daughter to sit down and talk.

"Why are you so anxious? What time is it now? I'm still waiting for my father. If my father doesn't come back today, won't you have to wait all night?"

Song Guogong's tone revealed a bit of distress and blame for his daughter.

"My daughter couldn't sleep, so I wanted to ask her father, what happened now?" She raised her eyes and looked at her father, explaining her purpose.

Song Guogong sighed very softly, and then told his daughter about the changes in the capital.

The emperor actually passed out and all the doctors from the imperial hospital were in the palace. Although the palace had sealed the news, the news still leaked out.

Although the news that is being said outside is probably not groundless, we will have to wait until the court tomorrow to tell whether it is true or false.

If the emperor cannot go to court tomorrow, then the rumors are true.

The city is in such a mess, it's hard to tell if anyone is tampering with it secretly.

Nowadays, the harem is controlled by the Queen Mother. Although the Queen's palace has received the emperor's decree, no one dares to make trouble, and the Queen Mother has no way to touch the Queen. However, it is not a long-term solution.

However, the queen had invited herself to the cold palace before, and then moved back to Zhaohua Palace and stayed behind closed doors.

Now that the emperor has fainted, the queen has no excuse to take charge of the situation.

Fortunately, now that the prince is in charge of the court, he is secretly fighting with the queen mother.

Nowadays, most of the people in the court support the prince's party. Even if Song Guogong does not take sides, his daughter is the queen's niece. Although the eldest daughter is married to the fifth prince, she is dead now and the fifth prince is not in Kyoto.

The Queen Mother's Party naturally incorporated him into the Prince's Party, so Song Guogong simply devoted himself to doing things for the Prince.

Fortunately, the security in the palace was now well arranged, and he was able to go home and sleep for a while. He would have to go to the palace early tomorrow morning.

After learning the cause of the matter, Song Jinyue could not delay any longer, so she stood up and said goodbye to her father, "Father, you have been tired for a whole day. Please rest early. My daughter will go back first."

"Well, you should go to bed early. My father has made arrangements in the house. Just don't leave the house these days. I think the safety of the house will be fine."

Song Jinyue then got up and returned to Mingzhuxuan.

But the commotion outside was getting louder and louder day by day.

After my father entered the palace the next day, he never came back.

The prince controlled the court, but the Queen Mother's party secretly impeached the prince. The prince may be controlling the government now to seize power. Moreover, some people secretly blamed the prince for the emperor's fainting, saying that this matter may have something to do with the prince.

Song Jinyue couldn't get out of the house, so she was in constant fear all day long.

This year, no one in the capital is having a good time.

The streets that used to be lively and bustling are now deserted with few people in sight.

Song Jinyue also ordered people to briefly decorate the Duke's mansion because Song Guogong had not been at home this year.

There were only Song Jinyue and Aunt Tian, ​​as well as Qin Wan and the Xu family's siblings.

Fortunately, on the fifteenth day of the month, news finally came out from the palace.

The emperor woke up.

The prince is said to have aged much these days. In addition to being busy with court affairs, he would also go to the emperor's bed to watch over him.

Even when the court took a break for the New Year, the prince stayed with the emperor in the palace.

As the emperor woke up, peace finally returned to the streets of the capital.

But the first thing the emperor did when he woke up was to order the Queen Mother to be placed under house arrest.

He acted vigorously and resolutely, and wiped out all the Queen Mother's party.

The emperor never expected that the Empress Dowager, who had previously been shut up in the harem, would secretly form cliques in the court to benefit so many officials in the court.

The leaders were the prince's mentor, Taifu Lin, and Concubine Ye's mother clan.

There were hundreds of people detained in the prison of Dali Temple, which caused a sensation.

Everyone was puzzled. Some people interceded for Mrs. Lin and the Ye family, but were punished by the emperor.
