Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 99 The second uncle didn’t live in the Duke’s Mansion?

Song Jinyue turned back to look at Cousin Zhi and said, "Cousin Zhi, let's pack up and leave for the capital."

"good."

Zhang Dingzhi also did not want to stay in Jiangnan for fear of causing complications.

By the time Qiu Yun came back with Song Qinghua, their luggage had been packed.

Song Jinyue stepped forward, took over the task of supporting Song Qinghua from Qiu Yun, and said softly: "Sister Hua, let's go back to Beijing."

Yesterday, when Qiu Yun replied, she had already mentioned that Sister Hua already knew that her second uncle and his family had gone to the capital.

Song Qinghua's eyes were dull, and her whole body was filled with an old chill.

She nodded dully, her eyes empty and dull. If she wasn't supported by someone, she might have hit the wall head-on at any time.

"Then let's set off immediately." Song Jinyue said, looking at Qiu Yun and motioning for her to bring her luggage.

Several people set off immediately and headed straight to the capital.

Along the way, Song Qinghua didn't say a word and just sat blankly on the carriage.

An atmosphere of deathly silence filled the carriage.

Song Jinyue and Cousin Zhi looked at each other, neither of them could do anything.

Along the way, Song Qinghua only took a few bites to eat. She seemed to be an unconscious living creature, and no one could feel the breath of life in her body.

But with Sister Hua like this, how could she bring Sister Hua back to the Duke’s mansion?

Song Jinyue knew that Mrs. Song would immediately find out if Song Qinghua's mental state was brought back to the Duke's Mansion.

There will inevitably be another scene.

But now, Song Qinghua could no longer withstand the slightest bit of Mrs. Song's torment.

Now, I am in trouble.

But it’s not good to keep putting off returning to the Duke’s mansion.

Besides, the birthday of Ke Kao and the Queen Mother was approaching, and she still had important things to attend to.

Along the way, Song Jinyue encountered difficulties because of Song Qinghua's affairs.

Until she entered the capital, Song Jinyue didn't think of any solution. She could only take Sister Hua to the renter's house first.

After getting off the carriage, Song Jinyue asked Qiu Yun to go out to find out the news. It was said that the second uncle and his wife had arrived in the capital. If the second uncle was in the Duke's Mansion now, he quietly invited them out.

After Song Jinyue settled Song Qinghua, Zhang Dingzhi asked his personal maid to guard Song Qinghua.

Then I took my cousin to greet my grandmother and mother.

Mrs. Zhang had received the letter early and knew that her granddaughter would be able to come back with her granddaughter today, so she asked the kitchen to prepare meals early and waited for the two of them to come back and have a meal together.

Mrs. Xie came to her mother-in-law's yard early and accompanied her to wait for the two of them.

Song Jinyue changed into a light cyan double-breasted Confucian jacket and a dark cyan pleated underskirt, with auspicious clouds embroidered with silver thread.

After entering the back room, Song Jinyue bowed and called: "Grandma, aunt."

Mrs. Zhang felt a little distressed when she saw her granddaughter looking exhausted. She waved her to get up and said, "You haven't eaten yet. Sit down quickly. Let's eat together first. We'll talk after we finish."

Mrs. Xie helped her mother-in-law get up and walked towards the black round table in the room, where food was already set.

"Yes." Song Jinyue responded softly, and then she and Cousin Zhi sat beside her grandmother.

Mrs. Zhang personally served her granddaughter with food.

Ms. Xie originally wanted to take over her mother-in-law's job, but her mother-in-law refused, so she had to give up.

Song Jinyue declined several times, but couldn't get over her grandmother, so she had to give up.

Aunt Xie brought food to her grandmother.

Although Song Jinyue didn't have much appetite, she didn't want to disappoint her grandmother, so she pretended to eat a bowl of food.

It only took less than half an hour for everyone to finish eating.

The mother-in-law and maid came to clean up everything, then closed the door and left.

In the house, there were only four people, Madam Zhang and Mr. Xie, as well as Zhang Dingzhi and Song Jinyue.

"Yue'er, let's forget about this matter. Don't worry about it anymore. Don't worry about the Xu family in Jiangnan. Your aunt has already said hello to the prefect of Jiangnan. Everything will go well for the Xu family in Jiangnan from now on."

Mrs. Zhang said.

Only then did Song Jinyue realize that the things her grandmother did for her were just to make her feel better.

She looked at her grandmother and aunt Xie gratefully, stood up and bowed again, and then said: "Grandma, aunt, I have caused trouble for you."

Mrs. Xie hurriedly stood up and came forward, helped her niece up, and said angrily: "We are all one family, there is no need to be so open-minded. You and Zhi'er are the same. I have always regarded you as my own."

Mrs. Xie's eyes were full of love, Song Jinyue's eyes were slightly hot, she could endure the sourness in her heart and nodded.

After talking for a while, Song Jinyue stood up and said goodbye.

When she returned to the house, she saw a table of food. Song Qinghua hadn't touched a single bite. She just sat blankly in front of the window, looking out the window with empty eyes.

Song Jinyue asked her maid to remove the food from the table in the room, and then asked the kitchen to boil a pot of ginseng chicken soup and warm it on the stove so that Song Qinghua could use it later.

Finally, she stuffed the maid with some copper coins.

Zhang Dingzhi is in her own courtyard. She hasn't washed herself properly in a few days. She is currently soaking in hot water to wash herself, so she has not followed Song Jinyue here.

Song Jinyue sat on the porch, waiting for Qiu Yun to return.

From time to time, she turned her head and glanced at the window coffin. When she saw Song Qinghua still sitting there blankly, she felt relieved.

Not long after, Qiu Yun rushed back.

The maid in the courtyard had already been sent away by Song Jinyue.

Qiu Yun walked in a hurry, but she did not forget to salute and said: "Miss, the Second Master Song and his Second Lady have arrived in the capital now."

Song Jinyue nodded.

Qiu Yun continued: "It's just that the second master and his wife do not live in the Guogong Mansion. They currently live in a second-entry house in Changping Hutong on East Street."

Song Jinyue raised her eyebrows slightly, her second uncle didn't live in the Duke's Mansion? Or was it because her father didn't let her in?

It is said that my father only had a strong prejudice against his little grandmother, and I heard that he and his second uncle had nothing to do with each other.

"Why didn't you live in the Duke's mansion?" Song Jinyue couldn't help asking.

"The old lady asked the second master and his wife to move to the Duke's Mansion, but the second master refused to agree to anything. He said that he had already rented a house in Changping Hutong and insisted on moving there." Qiu Yun.

He recounted the news he had learned.

"Can you find out why my second uncle came to Beijing?"

"I heard from Nanny Yuan that the second master came because the old lady wanted to adopt Mr. Guang to Mr. Guo."

"Oh?" Song Jinyue couldn't help but become curious as she listened.

Qiu Yun then told her young lady everything she had found out.

It turned out that Mr. Song knew his mother's plan from his mother's letter. When the second wife learned about it, she cried and cried. Mr. Song also felt that his mother acted like this. How could he have the face to meet his cousin in the future?

Even if the cousin has no children, he would never have followed his mother's ideas if he hadn't brought it up personally.

Moreover, he only has one legitimate son, Brother Guang.
