Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 29 Soft Nails

In the main courtyard, Mrs. Shen couldn't sleep all night. When the rooster crowed, she called Aunt Zhao to wait on her and got up.

There were masses of black and blue under his eyes, and his face was sallow and sallow. He looked dull and looked sickly.

Aunt Zhao helped Shen wash her clothes with distressed eyes, and gave a few more words of advice, but this advice only made Shen's face look even more ugly.

"Madam, please be more relaxed. The second lady is going to get married anyway, so why not just be patient..."

Aunt Zhao felt that the second young lady had only been back for two days, and the lady looked particularly frightening today. If this continued, and if Mrs. Shen made any mistakes, then where would she be in the Duke's Mansion, Mrs. Zhao?

status?

Although she was persuading Mrs. Shen, Nanny Zhao also had her own plans in mind.

"Ha" Mrs. Shen snorted, her narrow phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, she looked at Aunt Zhao carefully, "What? Are you scared, old thing? Are you afraid that if I die, you won't be able to survive?"

Aunt Zhao's face turned pale in an instant. She knelt on the ground, raised her head, and hugged Shen's thigh. Her face was filled with grievances, and she squeezed out two tears from her eyes. "Madam, this old slave is...

All my lives belong to the madam. How pitiful the fate is. If I have other thoughts, I will decide..."

"That's all, why are you talking about this? You have been following me for these years, so of course I know your temperament." Mrs. Shen's face finally gained some color, and she leaned over and pulled Nanny Zhao to her feet.

Aunt Zhao took advantage of the steps and went down. She turned around and brought a cup of hot tea to Mrs. Shen, "Ma'am, moisten your throat."

Mrs. Shen took a sip and put the tea cup on the table.

Song Jinxi had just arrived at the door of her mother's house. She raised her hand and was about to lift the curtain when she heard the movement inside. She silently lowered her hand, turned around and left with the girl.

She already knew what happened in the house yesterday.

She ordered Yunxiang to go to the kitchen to bring a bowl of lotus seed, lily, and red date porridge, and she personally carried the porridge on the black lacquer tray to Mingzhuxuan.

Song Jinyue led Qiu Yun to the garden on the southeast side of the Duke's Mansion. After passing through two vertical arches, you can reach the Anshou Pavilion, the main courtyard of the Shen family.

It was not yet dawn, but the lanterns under the dark corridor illuminated the Duke's Mansion brightly. The beautiful figure in orange-pink was hurrying down the corridor.

She had already guessed in her heart that it was none other than Song Jinxi.

There seemed to be something in her hand, and she thought Song Jinxi was here to look for her.

Song Jinyue took Qiu Yun and walked towards the corridor.

"big sister."

"Second sister, look what good things I have brought you."

The two sisters bumped into each other in the corridor and bowed to each other. Song Jinxi smiled, moved the black lacquer tray in her hand towards her, and motioned for her to sit in the octagonal pavilion at the end of the corridor.

"But..." Song Jinyue had no choice but to go to her stepmother at the right time every day. This was a rule.

Song Jinxi handed the black lacquer tray to the hand of the maid Yun Xiang behind her, then turned back and took a step forward to take her arm affectionately, and then pulled her towards the octagonal pavilion.

"When I came here, my mother hadn't woken up yet. It doesn't matter if it's a little later. I asked Yunxiang to go to her room and say something first. You don't have to worry."

"Then...okay." Song Jinyue tugged at her lips, forced out a smile, and then let her pull her towards the octagonal pavilion.

A thin layer of blue-gray brushed blanket has been spread on the blue-gray stone bench.

Yunxiang put down the black lacquer tray, bowed, and then followed the eldest lady's instructions and went to the madam's yard.

Song Jinxi raised her hand and held up the bowl of hot porridge and handed it to Song Jinyue. Although she was smiling, she couldn't hide the embarrassment on her face.

My mother stayed up all night last night, how could she ever fall asleep peacefully?

She didn't want to see Song Jinyue in her heart, but she moved closer to her.

Today, she wanted to test Song Jinyue's thoughts. Since she didn't cause trouble in the palace yesterday, she still had time to remedy the situation.

Song Jinyue took the bowl of hot porridge and scooped a spoonful of it with a white porcelain spoon. Her smile was full of gentleness and kindness, "Sister, please worry about it."

Song Jinxi smiled hurriedly and shook her head, tapping her white fingertips on the bluestone table.

"Yesterday..." Song Jinxi looked at her expression carefully, hoping to glean something from it, "Sister, please don't misunderstand me."

Song Jinyue pretended not to know what she was talking about, with a look of confusion on her face, "I wonder what big sister is talking about?"

The smile on Song Jinxi's face paused, and a flash of embarrassment flashed across her beautiful face. She tapped her white fingers on the bluestone table twice, and turned to glance at the maid standing behind her.

Qiu Yun, ordered: "Qiu Yun, please step aside first."

Qiu Yun looked at the eldest lady, and then at her own young lady. Yesterday, the eldest lady had a private meeting with her young lady's fiancé in the palace, and she came here early this morning, making it clear that she wanted to talk about it.

The eldest lady sent her away. What if she secretly called someone else to bully her own lady?

She doesn't want to leave.

"Second sister." Seeing Song Jinyue put the porcelain bowl on the black lacquer tray, Song Jinxi lowered her tone, her clear eyes full of begging.

Song Jinyue looked up at Qiu Yun and motioned for her to leave first.

She wanted to see what her good sister would say?

The young lady said so, and Qiu Yun obeyed, but she didn't go far. She could not wait under the corridor she just passed by. If she was asked to really go far, she would not do it.

At this time, everyone in the Duke's mansion was busy with their own affairs.

No one else would pass by the garden except Song Jinyue who would pass by the garden every day at this time when she had to pay her respects to Mr. Shen.

Song Jinxi stretched out her hand and took her wrist, looking gentle and kind, "Sister, please don't misunderstand me. I was in the palace yesterday..."

Song Jinyue withdrew her wrist from her hand, still looking confused. "What did sister say? What happened in the palace yesterday?"

Song Jinxi looked slightly embarrassed and retracted her fingers that were hanging in the air, and the smile on her face was a little pale. She tossed and turned in sleep last night, imagining many outcomes.

She also prepared a way to deal with it. If Song Jinyue cried, she would kneel down and beg her for forgiveness.

But what is the final result?

Every word she said seemed to hit a soft wall. She seemed weak, but in fact she was invulnerable.

In one sentence, she didn't know how to answer the next sentence.

Song Jinyue's vague attitude left her at a loss for what to do.

"Sister, it's almost time. I have to pay my respects to my mother. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to be late." As Song Jinyue slowly stood up, Song Jinxi quickly put away the complicated emotions on her face.

"I just happened to go with my sister to pay my respects to my mother." After saying that, he tried to hold her arm again, but this time Song Jinyue sidestepped and dodged.

With a faint smile on his face, he walked towards the corridor.

Song Jinxi pursed her lips tightly, stamped her foot secretly, and then hurriedly chased after him.

The women who were busy in the corridor saw the two ladies going to the main courtyard together. They hurriedly avoided it and bowed respectfully. When the two ladies walked away, several women immediately gathered around and whispered.
