The Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: The Head of the Family

Chapter 186 Your adults sent you to protect your young lady?
When Song Qing learned that the second lady asked him to tie up Eucommia, he didn't react for a while.

He wanted to say a few good words for Du Zhong.

Busyly stepped forward to compliment the maid Qiu Yun who came to deliver the letter, this Qiu Yun is the most capable maidservant in front of the second miss, and also the celebrity in front of the second miss.

"Sister Qiuyun, but what mistake did Du Zhong make to annoy Second Miss?"

In fact, Qiu Yun is two years younger than Song Qing, but because of Eucommia, he can also let go of this face.

Qiu Yun was blocked by Song Qing, and she felt a little annoyed at his recklessness.

Frowning, he glanced at Song Qing, and there was a bit of annoyance in his voice.

"Song Qing, I can't afford you to call me sister. We are in charge of the salary of the Duke's Mansion, and we are responsible for the errands of the Duke's Mansion. Right now, the second lady is in charge of the Duke's Mansion."

"Since you are so ignorant of the rules, I'll go back to the second lady."

After finishing speaking, Qiu Yun made a gesture to leave.

Song Qing was in a hurry and stopped Qiu Yun.

With a look of remorse and remorse, he scratched his head, a little ashamed.

"Sister Qiu Yun, I was wrong. You are a big man. Don't be as knowledgeable as me. I understand these principles. Please go back and talk to the second lady. I will definitely handle the errand."

Qiu Yun glanced at Song Qing sideways, let out a cold snort in her throat, pushed Song Qing who was standing in front of her, and left without looking back.

Song Qing stood on the spot, frowning tightly, his heart full of annoyance.

I really shouldn't be bothered.

He thought carefully about the news sent by Qiu Yun, since he couldn't ask anyone to inquire about it like this.

Then it's only good for him to do it alone.

If Qiu Yun mentioned his recklessness to the second lady, he would take Eucommia alone to return to his order, and second lady would have forgiven him.

After thinking it over, Song Qing started to do what the second lady ordered.

Qiu Yun went back to Ming Zhuxuan, and brought up all the things Song Qing and her inquired about with her own lady.

Song Jinyue also understood in her heart that Du Zhong was able to follow Song Qing's footsteps and take on the role of night watch leader in the Duke's Mansion, which showed that this Du Zhong had a very close relationship with Song Qing.

In other words, the two are afraid that they are bosom friends.

After all, not everyone can easily become the leading steward on duty in this country's government.

"Qiu Yun, clean up the side hall. I will interrogate Du Zhong in the side hall tonight. It's inevitable that you won't be able to sleep well tonight."

"Miss, don't worry, the slaves are not tired."

Qiu Yun went to tidy up the side hall.

When other people came to ask, she only said that the young lady ordered her to move here.

This side hall was supposed to be the residence of the young lady's personal first-class maid, but it was originally to keep an eye on Chun Chan and Qiu Yun, so her room was next to them.

Now it just so happened that the young lady also mentioned it and told her to move here to live in the side hall, but she had been busy before and was not free.

Everyone in Mingzhuxuan went to bed early at night.

Song Jinyue specifically asked Qiu Yun to add some sleeping herbs to the chicken soup for dinner.

She and Qiu Yun have never used it.

Tonight is Qiu Yun on duty, keeping vigil for Miss.

The lights in the house were blown out early, and even the oil lamps that were usually placed on the low stool in front of the couch were extinguished.

The master and the servant sleep in their clothes.

The watchman on Haishi Street rang the gongs and drums in his hands. In the long silent night, the watchman's voice drifted farther and farther with the wind.

Ming Zhuxuan was separated from the wall facing the street by three long corridors, and the voice of the watchman accompanied by the gongs and drums in the hands of the watchman gradually fell into Song Jinyue's ears.

She opened her eyes suddenly, and there was no trace of mist in her eyes.

No more sleepiness.

She pushed Qiu Yun who was sleeping on the side of the couch, and when Qiu Yun was in a daze, she rubbed her sleepy eyes.

She woke up suddenly when she heard the watchman's voice outside.

Standing up and putting on her cloak, she raised her foot and walked towards the window, raised her hand and gently pushed the window open a gap, and she looked out.

It was pitch black in the courtyard, the lamps hanging on the porch had been extinguished, and the oil lamp inside had burned out at some point.

After everything was settled, the master and servant went to the side hall in the dark.

Qiu Yun held the fire folder in her hand, and added some silver wire to the charcoal basin in the house.

Song Jinyue sat on the soft couch, stretched her arms and yawned, while Qiu Yun heated up tea on the stove.

She was worried, and went out to check the various houses.

Seeing that everyone was sleeping very deeply, she walked back with peace of mind.

When passing by the courtyard gate, she opened the key inside, and pushed the courtyard door open with a push from the outside.

When she returned to the house, the tea on the stove had already boiled, she carried the teapot with a wet handkerchief and put it on the table, took out the blue and white porcelain cup and made it % full, then brought the teapot to her young lady .

Song Jinyue put the teacup on the table beside her, and in her hand was the hand stove that Cai Qiuyun had filled her with hot water just now.

This side hall has been idle for some time, after all, it is not like her house, where the ground dragon is burning all day long.

Even though the house is burning with charcoal fire, there is still a faint chill in the room.

Song Jinyue quietly listened to the commotion outside.

Waiting quietly for Song Qing's arrival.

There was a strange noise from the gate, and Song Jinyue hurriedly raised her spirits and listened carefully to the movement outside.

Qiu Yun was guarding the door nervously.

When there was a knock on the door outside, it was Song Qing's voice, and Qiu Yun pushed the door open.

I saw him tying up Eucommia, and Eucommia's mouth was stuffed with cloth.

Song Qing knelt on the ground together with Eucommia in his arms.

"Second miss."

Song Qing saluted respectfully, but Du Zhong was disdainful.

Song Jinyue looked at Du Zhong, and understood a thing or two in her heart.

This eucommia is probably a big problem.

"Song Qing, go outside and watch."

Following Song Jinyue's words, although Song Qing hesitated a bit, he did not refute, saluted, and then retreated outside to guard.

Qiu Yun lit an oil lamp and placed it on the table closest to Du Zhong.

Song Jinyue looked at Du Zhong carefully from the faint candlelight, and saw that he was tall and tall, with sharp features and sharp eyes.Just a thin lip.

Du Zhong's eyes were full of disdain and ridicule.

He didn't expect that he would be exposed. Since he was captured by the second lady, he never thought that he could get out alive.

His arrogance made him unwilling to submit.

Even at this time, he refused to bow his head.

Today is different from the past. In the past, he was a servant of the Duke's mansion, so he naturally had to behave in a servile manner.

"Are you from the Northland?"

Xu didn't expect Song Jinyue to be so straight to the point. After hearing Song Jinyue's question again, Du Zhong was slightly stunned for a moment.

"So you really are from the Northern Kingdom."

Song Jinyue saw Du Zhong's expression clearly just now.

"Let me guess, you have been lurking in the Duke's mansion for five years to protect the Chen family?"

This time Du Zhong turned his head away, not letting her see the expression on his face.

Song Jinyue chuckled, but didn't care, but continued to ask: "Do you like Shen?"

Du Zhong suddenly turned his head to look at her, his brows were frowned, and his eyes were full of suspicion.

"Then you are ordered by your lord to protect your young lady Shen?"

This time, Du Zhong's eyes showed some approval.

He struggled to spit out the cloth ball in his mouth.

Song Jinyue glanced at Qiu Yun, motioning for Du Zhong to take out the cloth ball stuck in her mouth.

She said: "You don't have to think about making a lot of noise. I have already given the medicine inside and outside the courtyard, and everyone is sleeping now."
