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

Chapter 73 Suicide
Shen surreptitiously looked at Duke Guo's expression, and seeing the look of disgust in Song Guogong's eyes, Shen was panicked for a moment.

Could it be that the master has disliked himself?

At this moment, Shen Shi was extremely terrified, her heart sank, she pushed her daughter away, and raised her voice, "Today, I will prove my innocence by death!"

After saying that, Shen made a gesture to bump into the bookshelf in the room.

Song Jinyue smiled faintly, and cast a sidelong glance at Shen, her tone full of sarcasm, "Why is mother in such a hurry to kill you? If you really want to die, why bother to dirty the Duke's mansion?" Why not find a barren hill and no one to die slowly?"

Shen's footsteps stopped suddenly, and she looked at Song Jinyue in shock, not believing that the words just now came from Song Jinyue's mouth.

Song Guogong was a little annoyed by Shen's quarrel, but now he was a little surprised when he saw his daughter's posture.

When did my own daughter become so eloquent?

Shen shi no longer had the intention of putting on a show to seek death. She knew that the little bitch Song Jinyue had already seen that she was just putting on an act and would not really seek death.

However, Duke Guo didn't know that she was putting on airs, but once Song Jinyue said this, Duke Qi might be suspicious of her.

"Mother, my daughter knows that you are angry and easy to do some stupid things. Just now, what my daughter said was just out of nowhere. Don't take it to heart. My daughter is also thinking about your safety."

Song Jinyue put on an obedient and caring appearance again, Song Gongguo didn't suspect it, only his daughter said what she said just now, as she said, it was all for Shen's sake.

Now, Shen's face turned blue and pale, but it was hard to refute.

It was actually Song Jinyue who made it difficult for him to open his mouth for a while.

Shen shi gave Song Jinyue a dark glare, then lowered her head and sobbed silently.

"Is it enough?" Song Guogong slapped the table with his palm and scolded: "When the witness comes, if you, Mrs. Chen, have no way to clear up the suspicion, please leave the house yourself!"

Song Guogong was silent for a long time, as if he had finally made up his mind, he said in a deep voice.

Shen suddenly raised her head and looked straight at Song Guogong. When she was young, she was by his side. From being ignorant to bearing an heir for him, he never said a harsh word to her.

But what about now?
What did he say?
He said he wanted her to ask her to leave the house?

Shen Shi hurriedly knelt on the ground, prostrated herself forward, shook her head again and again, tears had already filled her cheeks, and said with a sob: "Master, I don't want to be a concubine..."

But Song Guogong was not in the mood anymore, seeing Shen's grievance in the past, he would always soften his heart a little, but since these things happened.

These days, Song Guogong always felt as if he was crushed by a big rock and couldn't breathe.

Now, he had to face a problem.

If he continues to indulge Shen, what should he do if there is an even more unmanageable situation in the future?
He must not allow Shen to continue messing around.

Shen Shi grabbed Song Guogong's robe and buried her head in Song Guogong's knees, but Song Guogong just turned his head away without looking at Shen Shi.

In the hall, Shen's mournful cry, Song Jinxi's panic and helplessness, Song Guogong's cold face and boredom, Song Jinyue looked like a spectator, watching all the people making a scene.

When Mother Zhao came back, she saw the strange situation in the hall, she lowered her head not daring to look at it, knelt on the ground, and replied: "Mr. Passed out at home..."

For the rest, Mother Zhao didn't say anything more.

People are like this, how can they come to the Duke's mansion to testify?
When Shen heard this, she stopped crying, turned her head to look at Zhao mama, seeing her signal to her not to panic, she felt confident.

"Master, I'm really wronged..."

Shen is relying on the lack of evidence, as long as she refuses to admit it, it will be fine.

Song Guogong gave Shen a cold look, "Shen, you've been thinking behind closed doors for the past few days. When will Mrs. Li be able to talk back, when will you come out again!"

Mrs. Chen wanted to debate again, but Madam Zhao hurriedly gave Mrs. Shen a wink, telling Mrs. Chen not to be impatient.

Only then did Shen get up slowly with the support of Zhao Nanny.

"Yue'er, you will be wronged for a few more days." This was Song Guogong's final ultimatum to Shen, and Song Jinyue was not in a hurry.

"Yes, father."

Song Jinyue saluted and was about to leave when the manager outside hurried over.

Song Guogong's heart was empty at the moment, and he thought that something big might have happened, "What's wrong?"

"Master, there is a letter from the palace, calling you into the palace, saying it is... Last night, Imperial Physician Xu hanged himself and died. It was only discovered now. The emperor summoned imperial envoys to supervise the matter, and asked you to supervise the case."

The steward trembled and explained his intention.

Song Guogong frowned, and Doctor Xu hanged himself?

Song Jinyue heard this, and sighed a little in her heart. Imperial physician Xu still did not escape death, and was sent back to the Xu Mansion last night. Today, news came that he hanged himself to death.

Thinking about it, he couldn't face the empress's trust in him in the end, and he couldn't say goodbye.

So he chose to hang himself.

Song Guogong hurriedly turned around and went to the study, and asked the servant to take the court clothes to the study to change, while Song Jinyue returned to her courtyard.

After Song Guogong entered the palace, the palace door was locked at night, and he never left the palace.

Song Jinyue lay on the couch, thinking about the scene of seeing Imperial Doctor Xu yesterday.

Thinking about it, what Dr. Xu said is likely to be true in all likelihood. When a person is about to die, he will no longer hide his secrets.

It's just that Song Guogong hadn't come back early the next morning.The official errands from Jingzhao Yamen came to the door.

The Shen family sent a maid to call Song Jinyue over, and Song Jinyue changed her clothes and went to the Shen family's courtyard.

It was none other than Mr. Wang from Jingzhao Yamen.

In the front hall, Master Wang was drinking tea and waiting for Song Jinyue.

"Lord Wang." Song Jinyue saluted politely. Master Wang hurriedly waved her hand to signal that she doesn't need to be too polite. Then he stood up and bowed to Mrs. Shen, looked at Song Jinyue, and said slowly, "Second Miss Song, yesterday you exchanged it from Mrs. Li. Can you lend me the 100 taels of silver note first?"

Song Jinyue frowned in confusion.

Mr. Wang explained: "Early this morning, Mrs. Li died, and her family went to the Yamen to ask for an explanation. The silver note in Miss Song's hand is the evidence against Mrs. Li's crimes before she was alive."

Only then did Song Jinyue understand, and hurriedly said: "Master Wang, wait a moment, I'll go get it right away."

Shen Shi didn't know the purpose of Mr. Wang's trip before, but just now she heard that it was about Mrs. Li, so she listened carefully for a moment.

Until she heard Mrs. Wang say "Grandma Li is dead", Shen's heart fluttered, why did she disappear?

She endured the panic in her heart, and did not go to see Mother Zhao, for fear that she would show some flaws in front of Mr. Wang and make herself feel ashamed.

Right now, it's too late for her to hide from Mrs. Li.

Where do you still want to move forward?

Song Jinyue took Qiu Yun back to Ming Zhuxuan, and neither master nor servant spoke a word along the way.

No one else knew why Mrs. Li died, but she knew it well.

After all, Mrs. Li is to blame for herself!She has been framed several times, but now, she deserves what she deserves.
