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

Chapter 194 It's not just the old lady who died suddenly.

After sending Ding away, Song Jinyue turned around and returned to the Duke's Mansion.

The news of the old lady's sudden death should always be told to my father.

As for the purpose of Second Aunt's visit today, she will help convey it to her father, but it has nothing to do with her whether her father agrees or not.

When Aunt Tian learned that the second young lady was coming, she rushed out to greet her.

The two met and greeted each other.

"Auntie, is father still asleep?"

"Second Miss, the Duke is reading in the house."

The two entered the house one after the other.

Lying on the soft couch in the outer room, Song Guogong saw his second daughter coming, put down the books in his hands, and was a little confused about the reason for his daughter's visit.

"Yue'er, but what happened in the mansion?"

The second daughter just brought Aunt Mu Yun here yesterday, and she came to the door again today, could it be something about that aunt?
Song Jinyue saluted and looked at her father solemnly.

Said in a deep voice: "Second aunt came to pass a letter, saying that the little grandmother died suddenly in the prison of the city patrol department last night."

Song Guogong was startled suddenly, a little unbelievable, "Yue'er, what did you say?"

Although that aunt murdered him, he was still his elder.

Now that the case has not been settled yet, it was so good, why did he suddenly die violently in the prison?

He looked at his second daughter full of proof, and saw her nodding again.

Song Guogong's heart sank, and a look of loss flashed across his eyes.

"Second Aunt came today to ask Father if he can let my little grandmother be buried in the ancestral grave."

Song Guogong didn't listen to half a sentence at all, his mind was full of the news of his aunt's death.

Aunt Tian stepped forward, took Song Guogong's hand, and comforted Song Guogong silently.

After a while, Song Guogong came back to his senses.

Aunt Tian repeated what Second Miss said just now.

Song Guogong thought of that second uncle, and his expression was a little complicated for a while. Although his father and second uncle were direct brothers and concubine brothers, the relationship between the two was a bit closer than the direct brothers of other families in the capital.

People are dead, that's all.

He didn't want his second uncle to be buried alone in the ancestral grave, and he didn't want his father to be disappointed.

"Yue'er don't have to worry about it, as father, tell Steward Song to take care of it."

In this way, Song Jinyue understood his father's intentions.

Father agreed to the second uncle's request.

"But father, there is one more thing. The second uncle means that there is no autopsy, but my daughter thinks that the death of the little grandmother is strange, and it is best to investigate it. The grievances between our two houses should be put aside for the time being, and we can't tell others The suspicion is that the Duke's Mansion has tampered with it..."

Song Jinyue expressed his thoughts word by word.

This matter is really strange, if there is no autopsy, the burial will be hastily.

Then this matter fell into the eyes of others in the capital, and they always wondered whether the Duke of Shangguo had something to do with this matter.

After all, from the beginning to the end, the old lady did not do it herself, but ordered others to do it.

Song Guogong pondered for a moment, and his daughter's words made sense.

"Yue'er, you are extremely thoughtful."

This is the tacit consent of her thoughts.

Only then did Song Jinyue leave.

After leaving the Duke's Mansion, she went straight to the Qin Mansion.

The carriage stopped in front of the Qin residence when Qin Sheng was riding back with a haggard face.

Seeing her coming to the door, Qin Sheng froze for a moment, then stepped forward, took her by the hand and entered the door.

Song Jinyue didn't break free, but let Qin Sheng lead him to the front hall.

After the servant girl brought refreshments, Qin Sheng ordered everyone to leave.

He took her and sat down together, "Why didn't you ask someone to deliver the letter and come back? If I'm not here, wouldn't your trip be in vain?"

Qin Sheng's gaze fell entirely on Song Jinyue, with deep affection in his eyes.

It was as if the unhappiness that happened in the prison before had never happened.

Song Jinyue was a little uncomfortable being stared at by him. She lowered her eyes and picked up the teacup to cover up her unnaturalness.

After taking a sip of the tea, she put down the teacup, and then raised her eyes to look at Qin Sheng.

"The second aunt came to the door today and said that the little grandmother died suddenly last night..."

Only then did Qin Sheng understand the reason for her visit today.

"Well, two people died last night in the city patrol prison, Mrs. Song and Shopkeeper Li."

Song Jinyue was taken aback.

Shopkeeper Li is actually dead?

She thought that Mrs. Song was the only one who died suddenly, but she didn't know that Shopkeeper Li also died.

"But what has been found out?"

"It's about the food..." Qin Sheng didn't hide anything from her, halfway through the sentence, his eyes were full of sadness, "It's just that the people who handled the food all died last night, and right now, no usable clues have been found. "

"The bell?"

"She's fine."

Song Jinyue rolled her eyes suspiciously, but Ling'er was fine.

Then it became clear that the people behind the scenes wanted to protect Ling'er.

The person behind Ling'er is the queen mother, so the death of the old lady and shopkeeper Li was also the work of the queen mother?
This Ling'er and Shen's biological father, who is the adult from the Northern Kingdom?

To be helped by the queen mother in this way?

She looked at Qin Sheng suspiciously, and seeing his indifferent expression, she immediately understood that if she could guess, Qin Sheng must have guessed it too.

"Is there a word in the palace?"

"Ling'er has been taken away by the emperor's order. As for where to take it, I'm afraid no one knows."

It can be seen that the emperor was angry about the robbery last night.

Now that Ling'er is being taken away by the emperor's order, I think many things can be found out by following the clue of Ling'er.

That way, she doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

After all, the Son of Heaven ordered people to guard and interrogate him personally. Even if He Yuanframe had the heart, he would not dare to plan to rob the prison.

When Qin Sheng sent her out of the mansion, he asked about the return date of his younger sister.

Song Jinyue looked flustered, lowered her eyelids, suppressed the panic in her eyes, and replied falteringly, "I'll be back in a while."

Qin Sheng gave up now, because no matter how much he asked about his sister's whereabouts.

Song Jinyue would not let go.

It's not that he didn't send someone to investigate, and he didn't find any clues.

Song Jinyue got into the carriage, and the carriage drove slowly, but she heard a burst of sobbing and startled crying from outside.

She frowned, feeling a little curious for a moment.

He opened the curtain and looked outside.

In front of the Qin Mansion's gate, there were two disheveled children kneeling in front of Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng helped them up.The three entered the mansion.

It's just that when the two children turned their heads to look at the carriage in the Duke's Mansion, they happened to meet Song Jinyue's gaze.

The boy was about ten years old, and the girl in his hand was only about seven years old. They looked like a pair of brother and sister.

When the boy saw Song Jinyue, he turned his head away in panic.

But Song Jinyue still saw a trace of hatred in the boy's eyes.

She only felt that the two brothers and sisters looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them.

Qiu Yun in the carriage saw that her lady seemed to be thinking about something, so she couldn't help asking, "Miss, what's the matter?"

Only then did Song Jinyue put down the curtain of the car, and Qin Sheng had already led the two siblings into the mansion.

"It looks familiar, but I can't remember where I saw it."

Fangcai Qiuyun also saw Mr. Qin leading a pair of brothers and sisters into the mansion through the curtain of the car, but she had never seen the faces of the two brothers and sisters.
