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

Chapter 29 Soft Nails

Shen's in the main courtyard couldn't sleep all night, when the cock crowed, she called Mother Zhao to wait on her and got up.

The fundus of the eyes is black and black, and the face is sallow and sallow, and there is no complexion when looking at it, and the whole person looks sick.

Mother Zhao waited on Shen Shi to wash and wash up with eyes full of distress, and she tried to persuade her, but this persuasion made Shen Shi's face even more ugly.

"Ma'am, you can relax a little bit, the second young lady is going to marry after all, why don't you just bear with it..."

Zhao Nanny felt that the second young lady had only been back for two days, and the madam's expression today was particularly frightening.If it continues, if there is any mistake in the Shen family, then how can she still have the status of Zhao mother in this Duke's mansion?
Although she was persuading Shen Shi, Madam Zhao also had her own plans in mind.

"Heh" Shen groaned softly, narrowing her long and narrow phoenix eyes slightly, she sized up Madam Zhao carefully, "What? Are you scared, old man? Afraid that you won't be able to live if I die?"

Zhao Momo's face turned pale in an instant, she quickly knelt on the ground, raised her head, and hugged Shen's thigh, her face was full of grievances, and two tears came out of her eyes, "Ma'am, this old slave Madam's life is mine, God is pitiful, if this old servant has other thoughts, the sky will..."

"Forget it, what are you talking about, you've been with me all these years, so I know your temperament." Shen's face finally had some color, and she leaned over and pulled Mother Zhao up.

Zhao Momo went down the steps, turned around and brought a cup of hot tea to Chen Shi, leaning over, "Madam, moisten your throat."

Shen took a sip and put the teacup on the table again.

Song Jinxi had just arrived at the door of her mother's house, raised her hand and was about to lift the curtain, when she heard the movement inside, she silently put down her hand, turned around and left with the girl.

She already knew what happened in the mansion yesterday.

She ordered Yunxiang to go to the kitchen to bring a bowl of porridge with lotus seeds, lily and red dates, and she carried the porridge on the black lacquered tray to Mingzhuxuan herself.

Song Jinyue led Qiu Yun to the garden on the southeast side of the Duke's Mansion, and after two vertical arches, he could reach Anshou Pavilion, the main courtyard of the Shen family.

It was not yet dawn, but the lanterns under the black-painted corridor illuminated the Duke's Mansion brightly, and the orange-pink figure was hurrying down the corridor.

She had guessed in her heart that it was none other than Song Jinxi who came.

He seemed to be holding something in his hand, presumably Song Jinxi came to look for her.

Song Jinyue led Qiu Yun to the corridor.

"big sister."

"Second sister, look at what good things I brought you."

The two sisters bumped into each other in the corridor and bowed to each other. Song Jinxi smiled, moved the black lacquer tray towards her, and motioned her to sit in the octagonal gazebo at the end of the corridor.

"But..." Song Jinyue pretended to be in trouble, and went to pay her respects to her stepmother every day at the end of the day. This was the rule.

Song Jinxi handed the black lacquer tray to Yunxiang, the maidservant behind her, and then she turned around and took a step forward to take her arm affectionately, and then pulled her towards the octagonal gazebo.

"When I came here, my mother wasn't awake yet, so it doesn't matter if it's late, I'll ask Yun Xiang to go to my mother's room and tell her first, you don't have to worry."

"Then... alright." Song Jinyue pulled her lips, forced a smile, and then let her pull her towards the octagonal gazebo.

A thin layer of blue-gray brushed wool blanket had already been spread on the blue-gray stone bench.

Yun Xiang put down the black lacquered tray, saluted, and then went to the madam's yard according to the eldest lady's order.

Song Jinxi raised her hand to hold the bowl of hot porridge and handed it to Song Jinyue. Although she was smiling, she couldn't hide the embarrassment on her face.

Mother didn't sleep all night last night, how did she ever fall asleep peacefully?

He didn't want to see Song Jinyue in his heart, so he moved closer.

Today, she wanted to test Song Jinyue's mind. In the palace yesterday, since she didn't make a fuss about it, there was still time to make amends.

Song Jinyue took the bowl of hot porridge, scooped it up with a white porcelain spoon, and smiled with gentleness and kindness, "I'll let the elder sister bother you."

Song Jinxi shook her head with a busy smile, her white fingertips lighting the bluestone table.

"Yesterday..." Song Jinxi scrutinized her expression carefully, hoping to get a glimpse of something, "Sister, don't misunderstand my sister."

Song Jinyue pretended not to know what she was talking about, with a confused look on her face, "I don't know what big sister is talking about?"

Song Jinxi's smile on her face paused, a flash of embarrassment flashed across her beautiful face, she tapped the bluestone table twice with her fair fingers, and turned her head to glance at the maid standing behind her Qiu Yun ordered, "Qiu Yun, step down first."

Qiu Yun looked at the eldest lady, and then at her own lady. Yesterday, the eldest lady had a private meeting with her lady's fiancé in the palace. She found her early this morning, and she made it clear that she wanted to talk about it.

The eldest lady sent her away, what if she secretly called others to bully her own lady?
She doesn't want to go.

"Second sister." Seeing Song Jinyue put the porcelain bowl on the black lacquer tray, Song Jinxi lowered her tone by two points, her clear eyes were full of begging.

Song Jinyue looked up at Qiu Yun and motioned for her to step back first.

She wanted to see, what would her good sister say?
After the young lady let go, Qiu Yun complied, but she didn't go far, but she just passed by the corridor and waited. If she was told to go far, she refused.

At this time, everyone in the Duke's Mansion is busy with their duties.

Except that Song Jinyue would pass by the garden every day when she wanted to pay her respects to Mrs. Shen at this hour, no one else would pass by the garden.

Song Jinxi stretched out her hand to hold her wrist, with a gentle and kind look, "Sister, don't get me wrong, I was in the palace yesterday..."

Song Jinyue withdrew her wrist from her hand, still looking confused. "What did sister say? What happened in the palace yesterday?"

Song Jinxi retracted her fingers in mid-air with a little embarrassment, and the smile on her face was also a little pale. She tossed and turned sleeplessly last night, imagining many kinds of results.

She also prepared a way to deal with it. If Song Jinyue was crying, she would kneel down and beg her for forgiveness.

But what about the final result?
Every word she said seemed to be in front of a soft wall, seemingly weak, but actually invulnerable.

In a word, she didn't know how to answer the following words.

Song Jinyue's vague attitude made her helpless for a while.

"Big Sister, it's almost time. I still have to go to pay my respects to my mother. I'm afraid it's not right if I'm late." As Song Jinyue got up slowly, Song Jinxi hurriedly put away the complicated emotions on her face.

"It just so happened that I went with my sister to say hello to my mother." As he said that, he went to hold her arm again, but this time Song Jinyue dodged sideways.

With a slight smile on his face, he took a step and walked towards the corridor.

Song Jinxi pursed her lips tightly, stomped her foot secretly, and then hurriedly chased after her.

The women who were busy in the corridor saw the two young ladies going to the main courtyard together, they turned sideways to avoid them, and bowed respectfully, when the two young ladies walked away, the women immediately formed a group and whispered.
