Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 40 Angry

Song Jinyue put down her bowl and chopsticks, stood up and bowed slowly.

She had already guessed that her father might have caused a scene at the door. When Mrs. Liu came in just now, she still noticed the strange look in her expression.

Why did my father get angry and bring his anger to the door of my grandfather's house like this?

I guess it must be the two pieces of jewelry from Yong'an Pawn Shop.

She was still a little surprised that the news reached her father's ears so quickly.

But she didn't want her grandmother to worry, so she said softly: "Grandma, I think there must be something urgent for my father to come to see me. I will go back with my father first, and then come back to stay with my grandmother for a few days in two days, okay?"

The old lady frowned, her old face full of worry. She held her granddaughter's hand tightly, shook her head, and refused to let her go.

"Grandma, you don't believe me?" Song Jinyue stepped forward, squatted beside her grandmother, raised her head, and smiled.

It did make the old lady see a bit of her little daughter in her face.

Feeling sad for a moment, he turned away, not wanting his granddaughter to see the tears rolling in his eyes.

Mrs. Xie stepped forward to help her niece up and said, "Auntie will take you back!"

Song Jinyue thanked her aunt for her kindness, but she didn't want her close relatives to worry about her.

The road to the Duke's Mansion was full of thorns and darkness.

But she had to go through these things by herself.

Seeing how stubborn her niece was, Mr. Xie found it hard to mention it again.

As a cousin, Zhang Dingzhi took her cousin's arm and shouted that she would accompany her back home.

For the first time, Song Jinyue showed her stubbornness in her maternal grandfather's house.

The old lady knew that her granddaughter's temper seemed gentle, but if she became stubborn, no one could persuade her.

He simply agreed.

She just asked Aunt Yuan to take good care of her, and if she suffered any grievance in the Duke's Mansion, she must immediately send someone to Zhang Mansion to deliver a message. Song Jinyue did not stop her.

Also to make grandma feel at ease.

Aunt Yuan asked Jiao Ming and San Ming to go down and pack their luggage, and she and Qiu Yun accompanied the young lady to the gate of Zhang Mansion.

The old lady originally wanted to see Mr. Xie off, but Song Jinyue did not agree. She stubbornly allowed her aunt and cousin to have breakfast with her grandmother in peace, and repeatedly asked her to come back and stay in two days.

Only then did the old lady give up.

She had all kinds of thoughts in her mind, but until she saw her father in court clothes in front of the Zhang Mansion, standing with a straight face in front of a reddish-brown horse.

I think my father was coming to court, so he didn't even go back to the Duke's Mansion, but went directly to the General's Mansion.

"Father." Song Jinyue bowed respectfully and obediently, and Grandma Yuan and Qiu Yun also followed and bowed to the Duke of Song.

Song Guogong snorted coldly and got on his horse.

Holding the reins tightly with both hands, the anger in Song Guogong's heart increased even more, and he ordered in a cold voice: "If you don't want to cause embarrassment to my father in front of your grandfather's house, then follow my father back home!

"

Song Jinyue raised her eyes, and the light in her eyes dimmed little by little. She looked at her father with empty eyes, opened her lips, and saluted her father again without saying a word.

Then she took Qiu Yun's hand and got into the carriage of the Duke's Mansion.

Jiaoming and Sanming each carried a gray cloth bundle on their shoulders. They paid homage to the Duke of Song and hurriedly got into the carriage with Qiuyun.

The people who gathered in front of Zhang Mansion to watch the excitement gradually dispersed when they saw the carriage going further and further away.

Duke Guo of Song, with a dark face all the way, rode fast down the long street and went straight to the Duke's mansion.

When Song Jinyue got off the carriage and entered the house, her father had changed his clothes and was sitting in the front hall having tea.

The mother-in-law welcomed the second young lady to the front hall.

The women and maids on the corridor all had their heads lowered, not daring to breathe a single breath.

Naturally, they had heard about the rumors outside yesterday.

When Shen learned about it, she cried so hard that her heart was broken, and her eyes were red and swollen. When the Duke returned home and asked Shen the reason, Shen shook his head and refused to tell.

She also told the Duke not to ask any further questions, otherwise, Mrs. Shen would want to hit her to death.

Because it was getting late, Song Guogong thought that he would send someone to check tomorrow.

But who would have thought that today, after going to court, the adults who were close to him stopped him at the gate of the palace.

Covering her lips and snickering, she asked him, is it true that the huge Duke's palace can't uncover the truth? Why did Duan Duan still pawn the mistress's cherished treasure?

Only then did the Duke know the key to this, and he was so angry that he wanted to slap the evil obstacle to death.

When his daughter returned home, he saw her thin body, looking like she would collapse when the wind blew, which made him feel quite pity in his heart, but when he thought of the things she had done.

And let the trace of compassion in Song Guogong's heart go with the wind.

As the mother-in-law announced, "The second lady has arrived."

Song Guogong threw the tea cup in his hand on the black lacquer table with a straight face.

There was a loud bang, and the maids serving in the front hall wanted to lower their heads lower, for fear that the strong wind and waves in the hall would soon hit them.

Song Jinyue lowered her eyes and stepped into the front hall, saluting her father on the throne, "Father, mother."

Mrs. Shen was sitting where Song Guogong was standing. She was pressing her eyes with a handkerchief. She glanced at her and then moved her eyes to the side.

"Kneel down!" Song Guogong scolded sternly.

Song Jinyue said nothing and knelt down according to her father's wishes.

Song Guogong raised his finger and pointed at the black box on the black round table beside him, and roared: "How can you pawn the gifts your mother and your sister gave you! But on weekdays, you are short of money?"

"Master, I have been wronged. On weekdays, the expenses for the second lady's hospital are according to the past. In the past, I was sent directly to Yunquan Villa..."

While talking, Mrs. Shen actually squeezed out a few tears.

She knew her identity well and wanted to secure her position as the mistress of the Duke's palace. So she could not treat her stepdaughter harshly. On the contrary, she cared more about her than her own biological daughter.

"Tell me, why do you want your mother and sister to suffer such humiliation?"

Song Jinyue sneered inwardly. She had never mentioned to Shopkeeper Li of Yong'an Pawn Shop that the gold hairpin was a gift from Song Jinxi.

I think it was Mr. Shen who blew the wind in his father's ear.

"My daughter is wrong." Song Jinyue did not make any argument for herself.

Song Guogong thought about many possibilities. His daughter would argue with her, cry, and make trouble...

But none of these possibilities would lead to her quietly admitting her fault.

I was stunned for a moment and almost didn't answer the question.

Shen's heart was like an ant on a hot pot.

What kind of medicine is this little bitch selling in her gourd? Or...has she always overestimated this little bitch? Is she just stupid? Was she just wrong in the past few days?

"Father, my daughter lost her mother when she was young, and she neglected her teachings on etiquette. Now she has asked herself to shut up and think about her mistakes." Song Jinyue looked at her father with cold eyes.

On the contrary, Song Guogong lost the opportunity to punish him.

"Second Miss, there is always a reason for everything. Why did you pawn those things?" Shen saw that the Duke's expression softened, but she could never let go of the grievances she had suffered.

Song Jinyue chuckled softly and replied slowly: "I don't know what happened to my mother in the five years she has been in the government. Just two things, I can see that my mother is also a person who has neglected etiquette..."
