Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 69 Shocked

Doctor Xu said nothing and remained silent for a long time.

Song Jinyue was not in a hurry and just waited quietly.

After a while, Doctor Xu seemed to have made up his mind. He slowly raised his head, looked at Song Jinyue, and murmured: "I know that I have betrayed the Queen's trust... but I was also forced to do so. I had no choice.

.”

Doctor Xu's voice was trembling and hoarse.

"I don't want to do it, but that person is hiding it, and I am hiding it, and... the lives of my whole family are all in that person's hands."

"Who ordered you?" Song Jinyue asked aloud.

But Doctor Xu just shook his head, "I really don't know, that person has something to do with me, and it's the same person you captured earlier who contacted me."

"I know, I'm sorry for the Queen..."

Doctor Xu repeated it repeatedly, as if he had finally found a way to vent the guilt and debt in his heart.

"What on earth did Imperial Physician Xu have that fell into that person's hands?"

How could Dr. Xu and the Queen poison him?

Come to think of it, comparing the two, they are both considered capital crimes.

"Years ago, I saved my old friend's child..."

Doctor Xu looked up at the dim wall, his thoughts seemed to have drifted to a far, far away place.

When he was eight years old, due to the poverty of his family, he begged all the way to Beijing to seek refuge with his relatives. He almost starved to death on the road. Fortunately, he was saved by Mr. Du, the Minister of Household Affairs at the time, and Mr. Du sent someone to escort him to his relatives.

.

Later, he studied medicine and entered the palace as a small medical clinic.

Master Du often helped him with everything in the palace, which saved him a lot of trouble.

But who knows, just when he thought he could repay Lord Du well, the Du family suffered bad luck, and everyone in the Du family was executed.

At that time, Dr. Xu, who was inconspicuous at that time, spent all his wealth, and then he rescued his benefactor's child and sent the child away.

But who knows, a month ago, someone sent a letter to him.

He used his benefactor's orphan to blackmail him into poisoning the Queen.

At that time, he had just been diagnosed with the Queen's pregnancy. He could not go against that person's wishes, but he did not want to regret the Queen's support and trust over the years.

In the end, he could only add health-harming and anti-fetal drugs to the prescription.

He begged God every day to save the fetus in the Queen's house.

It was as if he was placed on a red-hot scale, and he could only stand in the middle to maintain the balance between the two.

After explaining everything, Doctor Xu's eyes suddenly became clear. He looked at Miss Song Er and said: "Miss Song Er, I swear on behalf of the descendants of the Xu family that what I said is not a lie. I really don't know the rest."

.”

"Yes, I know."

Dr. Xu's story sounded so true that it made her feel uncomfortable. She could see that Dr. Xu didn't lie, and there was no need for him to lie.

"Second Miss Song, can you let me go back to your home? I swear, I will not spread this matter to anyone!"

"Okay, I will order Dr. Xu to be sent back tonight."

Now that Dr. Xu has explained everything, it is really inappropriate to be locked up in General Zhang's Mansion. Besides, there are people watching outside the Xu Mansion, so she is not worried that Dr. Xu will cause trouble.

Dr. Xu was naturally grateful and thanked him again and again. Then he sat down again, closed his eyelids and meditated without saying anything more.

Song Jinyue then followed Cousin Zhi out of the secret cell and walked towards the direction where the old man in black was being held.

Zhang Dingzhi took out the key and opened the door of the secret cell.

Although the old man inside was tied up on a chair, he was staring at Song Jinyue with a cold smile, and his hoarse voice said in a deep voice, "Which family are you from?"

"I wonder what the old man's name is?" Song Jinyue did not answer. Instead, he moved a stool and sat opposite the old man and asked about the old man's origins.

The old man snorted coldly and turned his head away, not looking at Song Jinyue.

Song Jinyue wasn't in a hurry, just sat quietly and waited.

After a long silence, the old man suddenly turned his head, looked at Song Jinyue, smiled at the singing, and whispered: "You must have a lot to ask me, right?"

Song Jinyue nodded.

The old man leaned back with great pride, moved his shoulders, looked for a moment, and suddenly said, "But I won't tell you."

After saying that, the old man looked very satisfied.

Song Jinyue knew that the old man might have no choice but to return without success today.

He didn't want to continue to pester him, so he stood up and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute..."

Song Jinyue just turned around, and the old man called out to her. Song Jinyue turned around suspiciously and saw the corners of the old man's lips raised.

Looking at her, he said word by word: "The queen must die! The whole family of Zhang family must die!"

Song Jinyue trembled a few times. After hearing what the old man said, Zhang Dingzhi trembled angrily and stared at the old man angrily, "You..."

"Hahaha……"

Before Zhang Dingzhi finished speaking, the old man suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, his eyes sank, as if he was dead.

I saw him purse his lips tightly and bite hard with his teeth.

Suddenly bright red blood stains appeared.

The old man's body fell stiffly to the ground, but the smile on his lips did not diminish at all.

Song Jinyue and Zhang Dingzhi never expected that the old man would bite his tongue and commit suicide.

The two of them were so shocked that they couldn't say a word for a moment, and their eyes fell on the old man.

When Zhang Dingzhi came to his senses, he pulled Song Jinyue and ran away from the dungeon.

The oil lamp in his hand was left behind in the old man's dark cell, and Zhang Dingzhi could no longer remember it at all.

She just wanted to take her cousin away from this filthy place.

After leaving the secret cell and returning to the house, Zhang Dingzhi patted his chest to calm down, and then looked at his cousin nervously, "Cousin Yue, are you okay?"

Song Jinyue came back to her senses and had already calmed down.

She was no longer a simple and carefree young lady from the Duke's palace. She had experienced such brutal and bloody changes in the palace in her previous life. Now the old man committed suicide in front of her. After the shock, he no longer had any fear.

Shaking his head, "Cousin Zhi, I'm fine. Don't worry."

Although Zhang Dingzhi was a little frightened before, she had seen a lot of things outside since she was a child, so she did not panic too much or lose her sense of proportion.

The two of them stayed in the house for a while, and then took a look back at their grandmother's courtyard.

Song Jinyue told Xiang Wu to blindfold Dr. Xu when it got dark, walk around the city a few times, and then send him back to Xu's mansion.

The old man in black ordered his body to be buried in the countryside.

When Mrs. Zhang heard about this, she coughed violently. The busy woman stewed ginger soup and asked the two of them to drink it while it was hot.

Song Jinyue was left to have dinner at the Zhang Mansion, and then Song Jinyue returned to the Duke's Mansion.

Now, lamps have been hung up on the corridor of the Duke's Mansion.

Song Jinyue took Qiu Yun straight back to Mingzhuxuan.

But just as he sat down and was taking off his earrings, Qin Wan ran in with a panicked expression.

Poof, he suddenly fell to his knees on the ground.

Looking at Song Jinyue, with tears on her face, "Miss Song, please go and save my brother..."

After saying this, Qin Wan was crying and out of breath.

His body was limp and weak, and he fell to the ground and screamed sadly.

The body was trembling and shaking.
