Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 63 Rumors

At the age of seven, she served in front of the leader of the Fireworks Tower. It was also there that she saw clearly the filthiest and darkest part of the human heart. It was also there that she discovered what is the most beautiful.

The number one, named Peony, is the most beautiful one in the building, but she is arrogant and very difficult to get along with.

When she went to serve Mudan, Mudan had already had about twenty servants, and she was the youngest. But when Mudan saw her, he felt a little pity because she was so thin.

Peony took her in so that she would not have to live in the open.

Until a few years later, Mudan was aging day by day and her fame gradually faded. She drank wine all day long to relieve her sorrows. The mother in the building saw that Yan'er had grown tall and graceful, and she followed Mudan to serve her all these years.

Forcing her to start receiving guests.

That day, Mudan finally stopped drinking, and just watched her bathe and change clothes, and coaxed her to sleep.

Mudan advised her to accept her fate. The first thing she should do after entering this place was to learn to accept her fate.

She could only protect her for a few years.

That night, Yan'er buried her under the quilt and cried the whole night.

Fortunately, she quickly adapted to her new identity.

She only hopes that one day she can escape from here with Peony.

But who knows, that day, a high-ranking official came to the city and appointed Mudan to go to the palace to serve him. She waited for three days, but Mudan never came back.

She secretly came to the door and discovered that Mudan was imprisoned in a pig cage in the woodshed, with scars all over her body.

She held Mudan's hand tightly and told her that she would definitely rescue her.

But Mudan's eyes were full of despair. She shook her head and told her not to waste her efforts and live well.

This official was a scholar whom Mudan once supported. The scholar wanted to elope with her and escape from here. Mudan agreed on the surface, but secretly she didn't want to delay the scholar's future.

She didn't keep the appointment, and the scholar waited for her all night in front of the ruined temple in the stormy forest.

The scholar came to look for her, and she ordered her servants to beat him out with sticks. Her eyes were full of ridicule, telling the scholar not to have that big dream of spring and autumn. She couldn't live a hard life, and she didn't want to wait for the scholar's illusory road to the imperial examination in the future.

.

Since then, I have never seen the scholar again.

Yan'er asked to go to the Yamen, but the government didn't want to get involved.

She knelt in the Yamen for three days and finally passed out.

When she woke up, she was in the Fireworks Building, with a nanny standing next to her. The nanny promised to help her rescue Peony, but she needed to do something for her.

It was to lurk next to the prince.

Grandma said that if she had any instructions, she would send someone to inform her.

"Second Miss Song, I really don't know who that nanny is. I only know that her demeanor looks like someone from the palace." Yan'er knelt on the ground.

"What's grandma's name and what does she look like?"

Yan'er shook her head, "She never said that when she met me, she was wearing a veil, and I didn't know her identity."

Song Jinyue looked at Yan'er carefully and saw that she didn't seem to be lying.

Then he asked the person next to him, "Where is Peony now? Who is that adult? Do you have a token or contact information with that nanny?"

"Sister Mudan is now in the hands of grandma. She sent someone to give me Sister Mudan's hairpin as proof." Yan'er wanted to get the gold hairpin on her bun, then she remembered that the gold hairpin was taken away by Song Jinyue that day.

go.

"The hairpin, I will send it to you another day." Song Jinyue remembered the golden hairpin and replied casually.

Yan'er's eyes were full of gratitude again, "That's Mr. Zhao from the Ministry of Civil Affairs... I don't have a token of trust with that nanny. She said that when the time comes, she will send someone to contact me, so I don't need to worry."

Song Jinyue was startled when she heard this.

Mr. Zhao from the Ministry of Personnel?

Due to the drought in the southwest, Mr. Zhao from the Ministry of Civil Affairs first accompanied the prince there, and was recalled to the capital a month ago to handle matters.

Thinking about it, I must have gone looking for peonies on the way back to Beijing.

Song Jinyue was interested. How could this be such a coincidence?

The mistress of Mr. Zhao's family is the fourth daughter of Mrs. Lin's family.

Mr. Du of the City Patrol Department married the third daughter of Taifu Lin's family.

Song Jinyue didn't ask any more questions about the rest, and asked Sanming to bring some food and drink to Yan'er on time every day. She also asked Xiang Wu to watch Yan'er carefully and not to let her run away.

After all, we can't smoke this cigarette right now.

When she came out of the woodshed, Qiu Yun was coming back from outside.

"Let's go back home."

After getting on the carriage, Qiu Yun said: "Miss, you don't know, what is being spread outside is really crazy, and there are all kinds of versions!"

"Oh? Tell me." Song Jinyue became more and more curious.

"You said that you fell in love with Mr. Qin, and you gave him money and rented an inn. You also said that the fifth prince was so tolerant that he didn't break off the engagement with you..." Qiu Yun paused and glanced at her young lady secretly.

Cautiously, he said: "The fifth prince is really a rare good-natured person. You..."

"They say I'm blind and ignorant."

Qiu Yun didn't dare to say the next words, but Song Jinyue used the conversation to calmly speak.

Everyone praised He Yuanjie, but they were just trying to criticize him.

"That's it, that's all, let them go." Song Jinyue waved her hand, very tired.

Lower your eyes and pretend to sleep.

But in his heart, he was worried about Qin Sheng who lived in Cuixiang Building, wondering if it would affect him.

When she returned to the Duke's Mansion, Song Guogong was sitting in the main hall with a dark face, waiting for her to come back.

Song Jinyue thought that she would meet her father first and then go back to rest, which would save her the trouble of going back and forth.

Because Mrs. Song sprained her leg and is still resting in the courtyard, Song Jinxi went to Zhuangzi in the suburbs and never came back.

Mrs. Shen accompanied Song Guogong and waited for Song Jinyue in the main hall.

As soon as Song Jinyue came in and bowed, Mrs. Shen glanced at Aunt Zhao and motioned for her to take all the maids serving in the house with her.

After everyone had dispersed, Song Guogong said in a deep voice: "You have become more and more capable recently! You even raised a baby outside..."

Song Guogong only felt that his old face was so embarrassing that he couldn't say the word "face".

She was just a young lady from the Duke's palace, but she actually imitated the behavior of those princesses who were rumored to be pretty.

"Still not kneeling down!"

Song Guogong slapped his palm on the table and scolded angrily.

Song Jinyue sighed, pursed her lips, and knelt down according to her father's wishes.

His face was full of helplessness.

Mrs. Shen was advising from the side, "Master, please don't get angry, it won't be good if you hurt your body. I think Yue'er is just a novelty and fun for a while!"

It seemed that he was trying to persuade a fight, but these few words from Shen all confirmed the rumors outside.

The anger in Song Guogong's heart surged up a little more.

Song Jinyue raised her eyebrows slightly, raised her eyes to look at her father, and said, "I wonder if my father has gone to investigate? My daughter just saw the Qin brothers and sisters in distress and rescued them casually."

"If you know how to measure, how can you cause such embarrassment to the outside world? It really brings down the face of our Duke!" Song Guogong slapped the table and roared in series.

Song Jinyue looked at her father with disappointment in her eyes. No matter how much she said, his father would not believe her.

Those rumors outside may be attributed to Shen.

But now that my father has been overwhelmed with anger, how can he think of these things?
