The Rebirth of the First Daughter as the Head of the Family

Ever since Song Jinyue went to Shen's courtyard, she said that she had prepared a generous gift for her elder sister.

Shen Shi then sent Mammy to come to her yard to inquire about the method.

But today's Mingzhuxuan is all her own people, how can Shen's eyes and ears get in.

Shen Shi lost her temper again.

The inspector of the city sent someone to invite her to go, and the person also mentioned what was going on.

After explaining everything in the mansion properly, Song Jinyue got into the carriage and wanted to go to the City Patroller.

Unexpectedly, Qin Sheng, who just went to court, was passing by the gate of the Duke's mansion on horseback.

"Second Miss Song, where are you going?"

Qin Sheng's voice came into the carriage through the curtain, and Song Jinyue lifted the curtain, nodded slightly as a greeting, and then said, "Master Du, City Patroller, asked me to come over."

"I happen to be going to visit the city inspector too, why don't we go together?"

Song Jinyue naturally understood that Qin Sheng just wanted to go with her.

"Row."

Putting down the curtain of the carriage, Qiu Yun ordered the driver to drive the carriage towards the inspector.

Qin Sheng followed behind on a horse.

When it was time to patrol the city, the official sent her directly into the inner hall to speak.

Qin Sheng still followed behind her.

When people arrived at the Inner Hall of the Xuncheng Division, Lord Du saw that Lord Qin was also coming, but after taking a look, he understood the relationship between the two, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"Princess, I called you here today because the Duke's horses have shown results."

Master Du motioned them to sit down, and then he talked about why she was called here.

Song Jinyue couldn't help clenching her fists. Although she guessed something in her heart, there was no direct evidence to prove it.

She didn't interrupt Mr. Du, but motioned Mr. Du to continue.

"Grandpa's horse has been planted with something that can go crazy for a moment after being frightened, and then die suddenly."

"That poison is called Hua Xi."

Song Jinyue had never heard of this name.

Qin Sheng's expression turned serious.

There was a tense atmosphere in the room, and she naturally sensed something was wrong.

"This poison...?"

"This poison comes from the Northern Kingdom..."

North?

My uncle has been stationed in Dingzhou all year round, guarding the frontier, and the country bordering Dingzhou is the Northern Kingdom.

"Princess, the next official has the courage to ask, is there anyone who doubts the princess?"

The Xuncheng Division has had many cases recently, and the cases related to the Duke's Mansion account for a large part, and each case is a fatal case.

The case of the Duke's Mansion is a bit of a headache for Mr. Du.

Who would have thought that in the high courtyard, the stepmother could not tolerate the stepdaughter, and usually used some dark methods.

But those are limited to the back house, and they rarely go out of the mansion, let alone make trouble in the yamen.

But now, all the cases in the government of this country have even made trouble in the Yamen.

Song Jinyue remembered the news she had found from Wu earlier.

There was also a temptation in my heart, so I simply threw out the bait.

"Master Du, to be honest, I did find some, but I don't know if I can help Lord Du investigate the case."

"The next official dares to implore the princess to speak out."

Master Du is extremely serious and sincere.

Song Jinyue glanced at Qin Sheng, and saw that he was also listening attentively.

Only then did he speak eloquently, "Grandma Shen at the back door of the Duke's Mansion once came to me and said that my little grandmother has a distant relative who has visited the Duke's Mansion twice."

"It's just that these two times came late at night, one was the night before my father's accident, and the other was two days after my father's accident."

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Du became interested.

Quickly asked: "The princess, who is this person and where does he live, do you ever know?"

Song Jinyue nodded.

"I sent someone to check. That person is a nephew of my grandmother's distant house. He is a rascal. He ate wine, played cards, and lost all his family property. A few days ago, before my father had an accident, he suddenly got money and bought land. house."

"However, it's strange to say that after he came to the door for the second time, he hid himself. It was only because I made people pay attention to him that he found out his location."

Master Du should even ask Song Jinyue to write down the man's residence.

Later, when Song Jinyue left the City Patrol Division, she couldn't help but look at Mr. Du a few times.

I don't know if Mr. Du will find out the result.

However, that is not important anymore, just use this matter to test whether Mr. Du is really upright.

Qin Sheng sent her back to the Duke's Mansion.

"Second Miss Song..."

Qin Sheng hesitated again and again, seeing that Song Jinyue was about to enter the Duke's mansion, he mustered up the courage to call out.

Song Jinyue stopped and looked at Qin Sheng.

Walk down the steps and walk towards Qin Sheng.

"what happened?"

Qin Sheng took out a jade hairpin from his bosom, held it carefully in his hand, but did not dare to hand it to her.

The corners of Song Jinyue's lips rose, and she lowered her head slightly to look at the jade hairpin in his hand.

It was a hairpin made of jasper, with a clear white jade pear flower carved on its head,

It is very novel to look at.

"So lovely."

Seeing her praise so much, Qin Sheng handed the jade hairpin in front of her, scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "Second Miss Song, this is for you."

When her white and tender fingertips touched his generous and warm palm, the tips of Qin Sheng's ears gradually turned red, and his heart beat rapidly.

When she took away the jade hairpin in his palm, Qin Sheng hurriedly put his hands behind his back, coughed twice, and looked away.

He only looked at her from the corner of his eye.

Seeing his shy behavior, Song Jinyue felt joy for a moment, the corners of her lips raised unconsciously, and she casually put the jade hairpin into her hair.

The eyes are extremely satisfied.

"I like it, thank you."

Only then did Qin Sheng turn around and let out a "hmm".

"Second Miss Song, go back to the mansion quickly."

"In the future, just call me Jinyue, don't be so unfamiliar..."

After saying that, she didn't look at Qin Sheng's expression again, and strode towards the Duke's mansion.

Standing in front of the gate of the Duke's Mansion, Qiu Yun saw a jade hairpin on her young lady's hair, looked at Mr. Qin again, covered her lips and smiled secretly.

Then he followed the lady back to the Duke's mansion.

Song Jinyue did not expect Master Du to be so fast.

In the evening, an official messenger was sent to deliver a letter to her.

He has been arrested and taken to the prison of Xunchengsi, and has been interrogated.

The man admitted that he had poisoned the Duke's horses with flower attacks, and the poison was given to him by the old lady of the Duke's mansion. As for the name and origin of the poison, it is not clear at all.

Mrs. Du wants to ask the old lady to go to the Yamen for questioning.

He didn't dare to rush to the door, so he wanted to ask her what she meant.

Seeing the darkness of the sky, Song Jinyue casually told the official: "It's getting late today, my little grandmother is getting old after all, let Mrs. Du send someone to ask the old lady to go to the yamen for questioning tomorrow."

The officer then resigned.

Song Jinyue looked up at the sky full of stars, feeling depressed.

Tomorrow, when the old lady went to visit the city secretary, there will naturally be some jokes from the Duke's Mansion in the capital.

And on her father's side, she didn't know how to reply for a while.

On the second day, things were far more troublesome than Song Jinyue expected.

Master Du came to the door in person with an official messenger.

Song Jinyue took Steward Song behind him and personally brought Mrs. Du to the old lady's courtyard.
