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

"Second Miss, don't waste your efforts, I don't know anything. I have no comment."

Qiu Yun took out the cloth ball from Du Zhong's mouth, and Du Zhong raised his head and stared at Song Jinyue.

"You are loyal, but it's a pity. If your master finds out that you are gone, will he feel sorry for you for a moment?"

Song Jinyue was not annoyed, she sat on the soft couch and leaned back.

He raised his hand and lightly tapped on the table, laughed lightly, looked directly into Du Zhong's eyes, and said word by word.

There was no emotion on Du Zhong's face, he snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Today, he didn't want to get out alive.

This time around, I just want to find more useful information for my master.

"Since you don't want to say it, then I won't force you to say it."

Song Jinyue waved her hand, her previous casualness had long since disappeared, and instead she looked impatient.

"Song Qing."

Song Qing, who was standing outside waiting, was taken aback when he heard the second lady's call, and then hurried into the house.

Pushing open the door, I saw Du Zhong kneeling on the ground, Qiu Yun standing in front of Du Zhong, and the second lady sitting on the soft couch.

"Second miss." Song Qing saluted.

"Du Zhong is a man from the Northern Kingdom. We will execute him. Tomorrow we will tell the public that he has stolen the jewels from the Duke's Mansion. He has pleaded guilty and his body will be thrown in a mass grave outside the city."

Song Jinyue's face was calm and unwavering, as if she was talking about the arrangement for a spring outing.

Song Qing was shocked, what did Second Miss say just now?
Eucommia is from the Northern Kingdom?
He looked at Du Zhong, with a hint of proof in his eyes, but when Du Zhong saw his probing gaze again, he turned his head abruptly.

"Remember, you must search carefully, and don't tell him to send a letter to the enemy's spies."

Song Jinyue never looked at Du Zhong again from the beginning to the end.

Such a person, even if you break his leg, he won't say a word.

She doesn't want to waste time on such a person.

This result was expected by Du Zhong a long time ago, he just hated himself for not doing well, and let the second lady notice some clues.

Song Jinyue waved his hand, signaling Song Qing to take Du Zhong down for disposal.

Qiu Yun hurriedly stuffed the cloth ball into Du Zhong's mouth again.

Song Qing took Du Zhong and was about to leave.

"Song Qing, you will deal with Du Zhong in two days. Now you lock him up in the dark room. Don't let others find out. You don't have to send him food and drink. You don't have to waste the food in the Duke's mansion. After all, he is the one who is going to be executed. Stop wasting food."

Song Jinyue's voice remained calm.

Song Qing was a little surprised when she heard this. The second young lady looked at the soft and weak woman, why was she thinking so viciously?

Du Zhong didn't expect Second Miss to say that, he was stunned for a while, but finally didn't say another word.

What he was thinking about right now was how he could send a letter to his master to the best of his ability, telling him that Miss Song Er had figured out his identity.

General Song took Du Zhong to the darkroom of the Duke's Mansion.

This darkroom was in an unused courtyard of the Duke's Mansion. He didn't know about this hidden darkroom before.

It was only later that she was appreciated by the second lady and served as the guard of the Duke's Mansion together with Song Zhi, and only then did she learn that there was such a dark room in the Duke's Mansion.

"Miss, will the servant take you back to rest?" Qiu Yun stepped forward and asked.

Song Jinyue nodded slightly.

Only then did Qiu Yun take the booklet and help the young lady back to the main room.

After entering the main room, Qiu Yun took off her clothes for the second lady, waited for her to go to bed, and then undressed herself.

She still slept on the floor bunk laid next to the young lady's bed.

Song Jinyue closed her eyes, not feeling sleepy at all.

She thought about Eucommia in her mind.

Since this Eucommia is from the Northern Kingdom, he entered the mansion to help the Shen family.

He was also acquainted with the fifth prince, He Yuanjia, otherwise why would He Yuanjia break into his boudoir that night and warn her not to ring the bell?
This Ling'er is also a spy of the Northern Kingdom, and she is also a person close to the Empress Dowager.

How does it all connect?
Shen's biological father is from the Northern Kingdom?

Otherwise, how could Ling'er become the palace maid next to the Empress Dowager?
Song Jinyue's speculation gradually deepened, and the foggy situation seemed to gradually have a clear outline.

She seemed to see a big net spread in front of her.

I don't know when, but fell into a deep sleep.

The sky was bright, the sun fell on the bed from the window, and the sun fell on Song Jinyue's face through the veil in front of the bed. She opened her sleepy eyes and looked outside.

That's when Qiu Yun was called in to help her wash up.

Since there is no mistress in the Duke's Mansion, she naturally doesn't have to go to pay respects to Mrs. Chen.

Today, Nanny Yuan specially cooked red bean lotus seed and white rice porridge.

She used up a whole bowl before giving up.

Just put down the bowl, the maidservant outside came to pass the message.

"Second Miss, Mr. Qin is here, and he is waiting in the front hall now."

Song Jinyue gave an "um" before taking Qiu Yun to the front hall.

She didn't expect Qin Sheng to come looking for him, so she felt a little melancholy.

When she saw Qin Sheng in the front hall, she frowned slightly.

Her subtle changes did not escape Qin Sheng's eyes.

"Jin Yue, I have something to tell you."

Seeing his sincerity.Song Jinyue looked at Qiu Yun and motioned for her to take out all the servants serving in the front hall first.

When there were only two people left in the front hall, Song Jinyue looked at Qin Sheng, waiting for him to speak.

"Jinyue, my father had a sister who had been separated for many years. A few days ago, I found out that there was such an aunt. My uncle passed away a few days ago. My aunt has a pair of children. Life is a bit difficult."

"I thought about bringing my aunt and cousins ​​to the capital to find a place for them to stay, but, unexpectedly, my aunt passed away suddenly, and my cousins ​​and cousins ​​are now orphans..."

"Cousin and cousin have nowhere to go, I, I want to discuss with you, can you bring them here?"

Qin Sheng was sincere.

Song Jinyue was a little dazed when she heard that, she didn't guess at all that Qin Sheng came to find her today to talk about this matter.

She raised her eyebrows without thinking too much, and said lightly: "You don't have to discuss it with me, it's natural that I take it to you and take care of it."

"Thank you."

Qin Sheng was overjoyed, and stepped forward to hold Song Jinyue's hand before she recovered, his eyes were full of gratitude.

Song Jinyue frowned, and unnaturally withdrew her hand from Qin Sheng's.

He took a step back and kept some distance from him.

"If there is nothing else, I will go to work first."

As she spoke, she lifted her foot and walked out.

Qin Sheng's heart was blank, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and he didn't realize that Song Jinyue had left long ago.

Song Jinyue went to the account room and flipped through the account books, but couldn't read anything.

Feeling depressed, with an unknown fire throbbing in her body, there is no one else in the room except her and Qiu Yun.

She raised her hand to loosen the clothes at the collar, and frowned.

"Miss, do you feel hot? Why don't you open a window for some air?"

Seeing her own lady nodding, she went to the window and opened half of it.
