Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 95 The servant comes to the door and tells the bad news like a bolt from the blue.

She didn't dare to publicize this matter, so she secretly came to Ming Zhuxuan.

But she didn't dare to reply rashly, for fear of offending the second lady and getting herself punished.

Just now, she had made a lot of determination and risked her life to answer the question for the boy.

"What did the boy say?" Song Jinyue's voice was inexplicably urgent.

The embroidered eyebrows were also slightly twisted inadvertently. Seeing this, Aunt Shen knew that she might have come to the right place today.

Aunt Shen just shook her head and replied: "The young man refused to say anything. He only asked me to come and give the second lady a message. He is waiting for you outside the back door."

"Qiu Yun." Song Jinyue looked at Qiu Yun and called out. Qiu Yun then reluctantly took out five hundred books from her arms and handed them to Aunt Shen.

Aunt Shen smiled apologetically and accepted the five hundred coins without politeness. Then she looked at the second lady and asked: "Second lady, do you want to go take a look? The old slave is guarding the back door now."

"Excuse me, Aunt Shen, please go to the small kitchen first. The lunch from the big kitchen is being heated in the small kitchen, so you can eat it." Song Jinyue said, and Aunt Shen did not refuse and agreed with a smile.

.

She understood that this was because the second lady didn't want her to hear what the boy would say.

This means he wants to take her away.

Aunt Shen took out the key to the back door from her arms, handed it to Qiu Yun, and then followed Aunt Yuan to Mingzhuxuan's small kitchen.

Qiu Yun took the cloak and the veil, and dressed them herself.

The two of them quietly walked towards the back door.

The journey was in a hurry, and Song Jinyue felt a little uneasy.

When she was approaching the back door, there was no one else on the road. Qiu Yun finally spoke and asked, "Miss, is this inappropriate?"

Song Jinyue frowned and said in a rather impatient tone, "I don't have much to worry about right now. I always have a bad feeling. Let's go quickly."

After saying that, Song Jinyue continued to walk towards the back door.

Qiu Yun trotted behind him.

Aunt Shen locked the back door. Qiu Yun took out the key from her arms and opened the back door. Then she pushed the back door open and saw a young man wearing a gray cloth jacket squatting in the bamboo forest on the right.

When the boy heard the noise, he quickly got up and looked back.

He saw two girls standing at the door. The girl dressed as a maid came forward and invited him into the Duke's mansion to talk.

After leading the people into the back door, Qiu Yun closed the door. The young man saluted Song Jinyue, his eyes were red, and he was about to cry in anxiety.

"What's wrong?" Song Jinyue asked.

"My young master is gone..."

After the boy choked up his words, Song Jinyue was shocked. Mr. Xu is gone?

The news was like a bolt from the blue, and it took a while for Song Jinyue to recover from the shock.

She frowned, stared straight at the boy, and asked, "What on earth happened?"

The boy wiped his tears and then replied: "Because I was in a hurry, my young master came all the way to the capital without stopping. I thought I would be able to enter the capital last night, but unexpectedly it started to snow heavily. Young Master..."

The young man burst into tears and endured his sadness as he continued: "The young master lost his footing and fell off his horse on the mountain road. After falling off the horse, he hit his head on a stone and lost his breath on the spot."

Song Jinyue's heart completely sank to the bottom.

"Did you see it for real? Your young master really has no breath at all? What about the current person? Where is he?" Song Jinyue asked a series of questions.

"The young master's body is now in the ruined temple outside the city. Second Miss Song, my young master...how should I reply to my master and his wife..." The young man's body was trembling, and the tears in his eyes could not stop flowing out.

His young master received the letter from Miss Song Er, so he rushed to the capital in a hurry.

Although he didn't know the content of the letter, he guessed that it was for the young master's fiancée, Miss Song Qinghua.

But now that his son is gone, how can he reply to the master and his wife who are far away in the south of the Yangtze River?

The master and his wife only got this young master. Although the family is poor, they still supported him to study and take the scientific examination. Now he has become a Jinshi. Because this year's scientific examination results are invalid, he cannot participate in the winter scientific examination.

I just have to wait until next year to go to Beijing and take the scientific examination again. If I can win the first prize in one fell swoop, life will be easier for the master and his wife, and Miss Song Qinghua will be able to marry into the Xu family.

But now that the young master is gone, everything has become a distant hope.

The young man was now helpless and begged to come to Song Jinyue, hoping that Miss Song Qinghua could go and see off his young master.

So that the young master can feel more at ease along the way.

And he alone cannot bring the young master back to Jiangnan. Now he can only place his hope on Miss Song Er, hoping that she can help transport the young master's body back to Jiangnan.

"You go back and guard your young master. I will send someone to give you an answer tomorrow." Song Jinyue naturally understood what the young man was thinking.

But the situation was urgent now. If she didn't come forward, she would not be able to transport Mr. Xu's body back to Jiangnan on her own.

At any rate, the Xu family's parents should be able to see their son for the last time.

Song Jinyue asked Qiu Yun to bring some silver to the young man, and asked the young man to go back and guard him quickly. He also asked the young man to buy a coffin on the way. It would be hard for his young master to not even have a place to sleep.

.

The boy thanked him, wiped his tears, and then said goodbye. He went straight to the coffin shop and bought clothes, incense, candles, paper, money, etc. for the coffin. The boy from the coffin shop carried the things to the ruined temple outside the city.

Song Jinyue was silent for a long time before sighing heavily.

Qiu Yun followed behind, not daring to say anything.

"Qiu Yun, go and invite Sister Hua to come to my room." After thinking for a long time, Song Jinyue knew that she couldn't hide this matter from Song Qinghua, and she would have to face it sooner or later.

Qiu Yun was a little worried, how could this happen by such a coincidence? "Miss, why don't we stop getting involved in this matter?"

Although it was Miss Hua who asked for help from her own young lady, her young lady was kind-hearted, so she agreed to help.

But Master Xu had an accident that no one could have predicted.

And when this happened, her young lady also felt uncomfortable.

"Go ahead, remember, don't let others notice. Just say that I want to talk to Sister Hua." Song Jinyue's eyes were full of exhaustion.

Qiu Yun had no choice but to follow her lady's instructions.

The master and the servant were running in different directions. Grandma Yuan saw the young lady coming back by herself, and looked back again, but did not see Qiu Yun's shadow.

Seeing that the second young lady looked very tired, she couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Second young lady, what's wrong? Where is that girl Qiu Yun? Is she just having fun again?"

Grandma Yuan is also aware of Qiu Yun's temperament and knows that she is not a reckless person.

"I asked her to invite Sister Hua to come over and talk. Aunt Yuan, please find an excuse to call Chun Chan and Yun Xing into the room and tell them not to come out."

"Second Miss, what happened?" A hint of ominous omen surged in Nanny Yuan's heart.
