Chapter 206
"Song Qing, go and check this person, and then look up where this person got the green orchid. It's best to find out what this person wants from Auntie Tian."

Song Jinyue picked up the letterhead from the desk and handed it to Song Qing.

Song Qing stepped forward quickly, bowed slightly, and took the letter from the second lady's hand.

Song Jinyue mentioned a little bit more about the elder brother of the Tian family.

Song Qing didn't dare to delay, took the envelope and hurried out of the Duke's Mansion.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, I went to see my father again.

Seeing her father talking about her little grandmother's new funeral, the second uncle's family might not be able to attend her betrothal banquet.

But in the end, Second Master Song should be informed about this matter.

Song Guogong asked his daughter to go to Song Erye's house today.

Song Jinyue agreed, and when she returned to the house, she took off the light purple shirt she was wearing, and specially ordered Qiu Yun to fetch a plain shirt.

The rouge on the face has been wiped off again, and the red hairpin on the hair is nothing more than a silver hairpin, and two plain silver flowers are placed on each temple, so there is no other decoration.

Today she took Qiu Yun and San Ming to her second uncle's house.

The two maidservants are also plainly dressed.

Sitting in the carriage, Song Jinyue couldn't help telling the two of them: "The little grandmother has a new funeral, and the atmosphere in the second uncle's house is gloomy, so don't make any noise between you two."

Sanming and Qiuyun nodded naturally.

When the carriage stopped in front of Song Erye's house, the two maids got out of the carriage first.

San Ming held on to the carriage curtain, while Qiu Yun stretched out her hand to help her young lady get out of the carriage.

White lanterns have been hung in front of the gate of the house where the second uncle's family lives now.The servants at the door saw the carriage of the Duke's mansion approaching, and hurried in to spread the message.

When the second aunt Ding appeared in front of the gate with her mother-in-law, Song Jinyue was already standing in front of the gate.

"Second aunt."

"Go in and talk."

Song Jinyue was halfway through the ceremony, and was helped up by her second aunt.

Ding took advantage of the situation and dragged Song Jinyue in.

Lanterns were hung on the corridors in the yard, Ding was dressed in plain clothes all his life, and his high bun was only fixed with a wooden hairpin, and a white flower was pinned on his temples.

All the women and maids in the mansion also wore plain clothes.

"Your second uncle went to patrol the city, and he hasn't returned to the house yet." While Ding was talking, the woman behind her stepped forward and raised the bamboo curtain. Ding glanced down at the threshold and signaled Song Jinyue to be careful.

Only then did he pull her together across the threshold and into the house.

"Yue'er, thank you very much, I will remember your kindness with your second uncle."

Mrs. Ding faced Song Jinyue to the seat in the main room and motioned for her to sit down and talk, and she sat down next to Song Jinyue.

"Second Aunt, we are all a family..."

Ding understood that Song Jinyue was just saying politely, and immediately said, "I heard that your wedding date has been set?"

Song Jinyue nodded.

"Your second uncle and I are both in filial piety now, so we won't be able to congratulate you at that time, so don't blame me and your second uncle." Ding's smile was a bit sour.

Xu Shi thought of his daughter's marriage and couldn't help feeling sorry.

"Second Aunt, it's all right. I came to the door today to apologize to Second Uncle and Second Aunt because of this matter. The wedding date is brought forward—"

Before Song Jinyue finished speaking, Mrs. Ding interrupted her, then took Song Jinyue's hand, patted it, and said, "Second Aunt understands that you don't need to care about these details, you should feel at ease and prepare for marriage."

The reason why the wedding date was brought forward was because of a scandal spread in the capital.

It was rumored that the fifth prince broke into the boudoir of the lady of the Duke's Mansion at night, but it was clear that the fifth prince's concubine was the eldest lady of the Song family, but the rumors said it was the lady's boudoir of the Duke's Mansion.

These words inevitably caused people to speculate that it was the boudoir of the Second Miss of the Song family that the fifth prince broke into at night.

In order to protect the reputation of his fiancée Song Jinyue, Mr. Qin came to the door to advance the wedding date.

Ding naturally listened to these words.

She vaguely knew about the affairs of the two young ladies of the Duke's Mansion, and guessed in her heart that the matter of the Fifth Prince breaking into the second lady's boudoir at night was probably true.

Song Jinyue chatted with her second aunt Ding for a few more words before leaving.

She also mentioned to her second aunt that when the time comes, the little grandmother's memorial tablet will be sent to the ancestral grave first, and the Duke's Mansion will take care of it. She will not go because of her wedding date, and her father will not be able to do so.

Song Jinyue asked her cousin Song Qinghua again. Ding's eyes were full of sadness, and she only said that she had invited countless doctors, all of whom said it was a heart disease, and asked her family to pay more attention to it.

Before returning to the mansion, Song Jinyue went to the Zhang mansion again.

First went to greet my grandmother and aunt, and then went to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The prince still lives in Zhangfu.

According to my aunt, now the prince is being taken care of by his cousin Zhizhi every day.

Now he has recovered a lot, but his body is still a little weak.

As soon as Song Jinyue entered the yard, she saw Cousin Zhi walking down the corridor supporting the prince.

Her petite body seemed to have infinite strength, and she helped the prince to walk around the corridor a few times.

From the beginning to the end, Zhang Dingzhi watched his feet carefully, so he didn't notice the figure standing at the gate.

He Yuanyi frowned tightly, like a toddler, earnestly learning to take every step steadily.

Even though his forehead was dripping with sweat, he never cried out bitterness, nor did he cry out to listen.

From time to time, his eyes would fall on his cousin who was supporting him, and his eyes were sparkling and soft.

The girl raised her eyes to look at him from time to time, and the two chatted a few words from time to time. From the beginning to the end, the starlight in the prince's eyes never disappeared.

There was a thin layer of sweat on Zhang Dingzhi's forehead, the prince saw it, and a little distress flashed in his eyes, he hurriedly stopped, pulled Zhang Dingzhi and said: "Cousin, sit down and rest, I'm a little tired."

Zhang Dingzhi was slightly stunned, and when he looked up and saw the prince was sweating profusely, he immediately supported the prince to sit on the porch to rest in frustration, and murmured: "I'm sorry, cousin, I was careless."

The prince smiled slightly, feeling a little distressed, and was about to persuade him when he heard a shallow smile from the gate.

The two looked up at the door at the same time, and forgot to let go of their handshake.

Song Jinyue came forward with a slight smile, saluted, with a bit of teasing in her eyes, and joked: "What interesting things will His Royal Highness and Cousin Zhi say?"

All her eyes fell on the hands clasped in the air.

Zhang Dingzhi came back to his senses, and hurriedly withdrew his hand from the prince's hand, his face blushed, frowned, glared at the cousin she always loved, and said angrily: "Cousin, you are getting more and more naughty!"

The prince coughed a few times to ease the awkward atmosphere, and hurriedly echoed Zhang Dingzhi: "Zhi'er is right, Cousin Yue is really naughty now!"

Song Jinyue rolled her eyes on the two of them, not caring what they said about her.

On the contrary, it seemed that something novel had been discovered.

The prince now actually calls cousin Zhi Zhi'er?There seemed to be a subtle change between the two.
