Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 52 Not Returning

"By the way, mother, I'm going to visit my grandma's house later. I think grandma will stay with me for two days, so my mother won't have to worry about me."

Song Jinyue focused her conversation elsewhere, and Shen's embarrassed look softened slightly.

"Then mother ordered someone to prepare a generous gift. Later you will take it to Madam Zhang for mother. Thank you Zhang Mansion for taking care of you these days." Mrs. Shen looked considerate.

Song Jinyue nodded in agreement.

Shen's things can be sold if she doesn't want them. After all, who can't live with money?

And even if you donate it, you can still accumulate some merit for your deceased mother, so why not?

Seeing that Song Jinyue had spoken, Mrs. Song invited everyone to eat.

Everyone has different thoughts, and the meal is boring.

After lunch, Mrs. Song wanted to go back to take a nap, so she left everyone alone to talk and left. Song Jinyue took Qiu Yun back to Mingzhuxuan.

A quarter of an hour later, Mrs. Shen ordered Aunt Zhao to send some silver.

With a sarcastic smile on her lips, Aunt Zhao held the tray of silver and said, "Madam said, she was worried that the things she gave would not be in line with Madam Zhang's wishes, so she simply folded them into cash and asked the second lady to do it herself.

I went to pick out suitable gifts to send.”

Song Jinyue was quite surprised. She didn't expect that Mrs. Shen could get someone to send silver.

Song Jinyue ordered someone to accept the tray of silver and asked Aunt Zhao to go back and bring her gratitude to Mrs. Shen.

Qiu Yun stepped forward and was about to take the tray from Aunt Zhao. Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhao had bad intentions. Before she could touch the tray, Aunt Zhao let go.

Bang!

There was a loud noise, and the silver covered with red cloth on the black lacquer tray rolled to the floor.

Qiu Yun was shocked and angry, staring at Aunt Zhao with wide eyes.

Aunt Zhao pretended to be frightened and hurriedly defended: "Second Miss...Old slave, old slave..."

Song Jinyue stared straight at Aunt Zhao, raised her lips, and sneered, "Aunt Zhao, have you forgotten the lesson you learned in Yunquan Shangzhuang?"

Aunt Zhao instinctively raised her hand to cover her cheek and took a step back.

This matter was ordered by Madam.

Because the second young lady had previously pawned the jewelry given by the madam and the eldest lady. Although this matter was settled in the end, it still made the madam dissatisfied.

Who is willing to give the second lady any more clues now? Today I specially prepared a hundred taels of silver and asked her to send it to her, and said that I would destroy the second lady's arrogance.

That’s why Aunt Zhao is like this.

But she actually forgot about the slap she received from the second young lady.

"Today, grandma will either kneel on the ground and pick up these one hundred taels of silver, or I will go back to my father to sell grandma out of the house. I guess it must be you, a naughty slave, who stirs up troubles and provokes me in front of my mother every day.

The relationship with my mother!”

Aunt Zhao's heart trembled when she heard this. If this matter was really brought to the attention of the Duke, it would be different from the past. Mrs. Song held most of the real power in the mansion.

Presumably, Mrs. Song was also willing to sell her out of the house so that she could lose her right and left hand.

For a moment, she really wanted to slap herself in the face.

Just say a few words to the second young lady, why do you do something that cannot be brought to the forefront now?

Aunt Zhao said nothing, knelt on the ground, and begged hurriedly: "Second Miss is kind-hearted, please spare this time for me. I am old, and lard has deceived my heart. Second Miss, please don't be like me."

.”

After kowtowing three times in a row, Nanny Zhao hurriedly picked up the silver patterns scattered on the ground, rearranged them, and brought them to Qiu Yun in person, "Qiu Yun, don't argue with this old slave. Today, it is the old slave who is against me."

I can’t help you.”

There was no trace of disdain or arrogance in his tone.

Qiu Yun looked at her young lady and asked her what she meant. Song Jinyue motioned for her to take it, and then waved her hand to ask Nanny Zhao to retreat.

She was just scaring Aunt Zhao. If Aunt Zhao really left, Mrs. Shen would have no available nanny. How would she be able to fight with Mrs. Song in the future?

She neither wanted the two of them to decide the winner quickly, nor did she want the east wind to overwhelm the west wind. In the end, it would be better if they could not give in to each other and the winner could not be decided.

After she has finished handling everything, she will deal with Shen and her daughter.

Song Jinyue asked Aunt Yuan to count the one hundred taels of silver as food money for the small kitchen, and asked Qiu Yun to go to her warehouse to find some jade ornaments of fortune, wealth and longevity to take to her grandmother.

Song Jinyue was about to go out when Mrs. Song and her maid came to deliver the post.

That post belonged to the Zhao family of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Mrs. Zhao invited the female family members of the Song family to attend Mrs. Zhao's fiftieth birthday, which was scheduled to be three days later.

Song Jinyue put the post away and then took Qiu Yun out of the house.

After getting on the carriage at the Duke's residence, he asked the coachman to go straight to General Zhang's residence.

Perhaps due to the rain in recent years, there are more people on the long street than in the past, and it seems to be a bit more lively.

When the carriage stopped in front of the Zhang Mansion, the guard at the door saw that it was Miss Song Er who was coming, and hurriedly asked someone to go in and answer the question.

When she came this time, she didn't see Nanny Liu at the door, so she asked the concierge why Nanny Liu was not there.

Only then did I learn that Grandma Liu had taken leave of absence and returned to her hometown two days ago. She had given birth because her daughter-in-law had given birth, and she had gone home to look after her daughter-in-law during the confinement period.

The maid of the Zhang Mansion welcomed Miss Song Er to the old lady's courtyard.

Song Jinyue walked down the corridor and felt that the atmosphere in Zhang's house was particularly heavy, so she asked the maid who led the way, "What happened in the house?"

The maid stopped, turned around and saluted, and then replied respectfully: "Madam and the young lady entered the palace yesterday and have not come back yet. The old lady is worried about this matter and sent people to ask, but there is no result yet."

Song Jinyue nodded and then continued walking towards her grandmother's courtyard.

But I was thinking in my heart, why did my aunt and cousin Tongzhi not come back after entering the palace? But something happened in Dingzhou? Things were moved forward?

But from Cousin Ping's letter, there is nothing strange about Dingzhou Prefecture Xiang.

Everything should have not happened yet.

Or is it that something else happened?

After receiving the letter, Grandma Jia came out to meet Miss Cousin, and the maid who had led the way withdrew.

"Miss Cousin, the old lady is currently chanting sutras in the Buddhist hall. She is counting the time and it is almost time. Please wait a moment." Grandma Jia lifted the bamboo curtain and invited Song Jinyue into the main room.

As soon as he stepped into the door, he heard the sound of banging wooden fish and chanting sutras from the partition. The sandalwood incense in the room was thick. Song Jinyue nodded, then walked to the hall and sat down.

There was no maid waiting in the room, so Grandma Jia personally brought a cup of hot tea.

Song Jinyue motioned to Grandma Jia not to be busy, she could just sit down.

Song Jinyue picked up the tea cup, blew on it, took a sip, and put the tea cup down again. The chanting in the cubicle ended quietly. Song Jinyue quickly put down the tea cup and went to the door of the cubicle to greet her.

"Aunt Jia, help me up."

Aunt Jia was about to go in, but Song Jinyue stopped her and entered the compartment herself.

Mrs. Zhang turned around and saw her granddaughter coming. The sadness on her face immediately disappeared, "When did you come? You've been waiting for a long time..."
