Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 34 Begging

During the dinner, the old lady talked to Mr. Xie about letting Song Jinyue stay at the house for a few days. Mr. Xie hurriedly finished his meal, got up and left, and went to clean up the courtyard for Song Jinyue with his people.

Perhaps the house was burning too much, and they had just eaten the food. The old lady yawned several times in succession, and Song Jinyue followed Grandma Jia to help her grandmother rest.

After everything was over, she took Qiu Yun to find her aunt Xie.

When Song Jinyue was a child, if she stayed in a rented house, she would live in the courtyard where her mother lived before she left the palace.

But now that her mother passed away, she has never set foot in that courtyard again.

Mrs. Xie couldn't decide what she wanted, so she led people to tidy up the courtyard where her sister-in-law had lived, and then went to the nearby courtyard to tidy up. Where she would live in the end was entirely up to her.

Song Jinyue was grateful for her aunt Xie's kindness, so she finally chose the courtyard where her mother had been before leaving the palace. At least there, she could feel her mother's breath from every flower, grass and thing.

Mrs. Xie personally took her hand and sent her to the Cuizhu Pavilion. After crossing the long corridor, she saw a bluestone-carved cloud pattern wall.

Only my sister-in-law's yard in Zhang's house is full of green bamboos, because she loves green bamboos.

The decoration in the courtyard was decorated according to the Jiangnan style.

Along the end of the corridor is the main house of Cuizhu Pavilion, which is carefully cleaned by the mother-in-law every day.

The black lacquered yellow rosewood tables and chairs in the house were all made by skilled craftsmen from Jiangnan at that time, and they were all carved with green bamboo patterns.

Even the ornaments on the black lacquered Duobao shelves in the house are all the clothes my sister-in-law wore before she left the palace.

The bedding on the bed inside would be changed and washed by my mother-in-law every three or five days.

My mother-in-law always said that I must clean up the Cuizhu Pavilion carefully, and my sister-in-law always loves to be clean.

It seems that as long as Cuizhu Pavilion is carefully cleaned, it is as if my sister-in-law is still alive.

Mr. Xie is also willing to do this.

She would rather deceive herself that her sister-in-law is still alive and has not passed away.

Just go out for a long trip, wait until you are tired and have enough fun.

Will definitely come back.

You can't make your sister-in-law homeless.

After all, the Duke's Mansion is no longer my sister-in-law's home.

"Yue'er, please rest first. Auntie won't disturb you anymore." Mrs. Xie sent Song Jinyue to the house, her eyes full of love and doting.

"Aunt, wait a minute."

Song Jinyue called her aunt softly.

Xie raised her eyebrows slightly, puzzled.

Song Jinyue looked at Qiu Yun behind her and motioned for her to take the mother-in-law and maid next to the room to exit first.

In this way, Mr. Xie became even more confused.

The ladies and maids who were serving Ms. Xie all looked at Ms. Xie, waiting for her instructions. Song Jinyue stepped forward, took her aunt's arm, and called her "aunt" meaningfully.

Thinking that her niece must have something important to say to her, Mrs. Xie sent everyone out.

When only two people were left in the room, Ms. Xie looked solemn. She took her niece's hand and asked nervously: "Yue'er, what happened?"

"Don't worry, aunt. It's not an urgent matter. It's just that I have to trouble my aunt for a while."

"you say."

Mr. Xie's heart was beating fast. This niece had always been well-behaved, but it was the first time she looked so solemn today.

"My aunt also knows that I have just returned to the house, and there is not a single familiar face in the Duke's house. I came to visit today because I have something to ask my aunt..."

Since Shen entered the Song Dynasty's palace, Shen sent all the wives and maids who were there when her sister-in-law was there to Zhuangzi one by one.

To the outside world, they only say that they are sent for retirement, and they live in the richest village of Zhuangzi.

It's not easy for the Zhang family to come and attack them.

It's not a punishment after all.

"Yue'er wants to select some maids from the Zhang Mansion?"

Having said this, Mr. Xie had some guesses in his mind.

Seeing her nodding, Ms.

Send as much as you want."

Song Jinyue smiled and thanked her, but added at the last moment, "Auntie, can you give me two more boys who are good at boxing and kicking..."

Song Jinyue paused, looked at her aunt, and explained slowly: "I miss my uncle a little bit, and I want to pick a few reliable ones so that I can send letters home to my uncle in the future."

"Why don't you ask the servants in the mansion to drop in and deliver letters home?" Ms. Xie was confused.

Song Jinyue continued: "Auntie, on weekdays, if I want to go out of the house, I will take with me all the servants from the Duke's residence. I don't even know those servants..."

Xie finally came back to her senses.

This means that the niece cannot trust the people under Shen's staff, and she needs full safety protection.

At first, her mother-in-law also mentioned this to her and asked her to pick some people and send them to the Duke's Mansion. She originally thought that she would do it in two days.

Who would have thought that today, the niece would actually speak in person.

Mrs. Xie did not refuse and said: "A few days ago, the old lady mentioned this matter to me. I originally planned to send him to you in two days. Now that you have spoken, in the evening, I will send him to you."

Order them to come to you and have a look."

Song Jinyue thanked her aunt again, and then Ms. Xie stood up to leave. Song Jinyue personally escorted Ms. Xie out of Cuizhuxuan.

After Mrs. Xie left Cuizhuxuan, she ordered the steward of the Zhang family to go to the Song Dynasty Duke's Mansion to deliver the message.

Qiu Yun waited for her young lady to lie down and take a rest.

When it was noon, Mrs. Xie came with two women and five maids.

Ms. Xie sat in the main hall with Song Jinyue, and several people kneeling below saluted and said hello.

"You choose." Mr. Xie's voice was soft and he looked at her with a slight smile, indicating that she didn't have to worry. These people are all trustworthy.

Song Jinyue thought of her previous life when she returned to Beijing.

Grandma also said that she would send someone to the Duke's Mansion to serve her, but at that time she was coaxed around by Mrs. Shen, so she declined her kindness.

At that time, she just didn't want to cause trouble to her grandfather's family.

But when the Shen family sent someone to Zhang Mansion to convey a message, they said, "The Song Dynasty Duke's family has a great business and there is no shortage of manpower to help the second lady."

She didn't know about this at first.

Later, Cousin Zhi got so angry that she called her outside and slapped her head in the face and scolded her.

She then went to her grandmother's house in person to apologize, but when she returned home, Mrs. Shen cried heartily for a few more times, placing all the blame on Diao Nu, so that she would not fall into the trap of Diao Nu's attempt to drive a wedge between their mother and daughter.

Treachery.

She actually believed it!

In fact, she vaguely guessed Shen's thoughts, but at that time she was full of contradictions in her heart, so she just let Shen be like this.

Others don't know, but she knows everything.

She longs for her mother's love so much.

It was as if she was still living in the phantom of her parents' health.

She couldn't allow herself to have any flaws.

Feeling conflicted and disgusted, I simply let myself pretend that I didn't know everything.

"Keep your head up."

Xie said loudly.

The women and maids who were kneeling on the ground raised their heads one by one.

Song Jinyue motioned to several people to report their homes.

The lady in charge, who was wearing a dark green jacket and short robe with a kind face, was the first to say: "Old slave Yuan has seen the second lady."

"Old slave Fei Shi has met the second lady." The woman in a dark blue jacket and short robe said steadily.
