When Madam Lin heard this, she immediately lowered her face.

Madam Du stepped forward to ease the atmosphere.

But Song Jinyue already didn't want to stay here any longer.

So he got up and said goodbye to Mrs. Du, but Mrs. Du didn't keep her and sent her out of the house in person.

"Today... I'm really sorry for the princess." Mrs. Du was full of apologies.

Song Jinyue did not follow Madam Du's words.

Mrs. Du then explained to her: "Princess, I will come to apologize in person some day. You know, my mother, I have no choice..."

Although the words were not clearly stated, they were full of Madam Du's endless bitterness and embarrassment.

Ever since my concubine married Mr. Zhao, Aunt Zhou has become more and more proud in the mansion as Mr. Zhao has prospered as an official.

Over the years, my mother's life in the Lin Mansion was really not going well.

Moreover, the father was partial to and defended Aunt Zhou, which made the mother feel even more disappointed.

But for the sake of the children in the family, the mother greeted her with a smile every day outside, and became more polite to her father. On the contrary, there was a little less intimacy and heart-to-heart between husband and wife.

Today's release is what my father meant.

The mother couldn't refuse, so she asked her daughter to invite Second Miss Song to the Du Mansion, and she brought Mrs. Zhou and that evil one together.

Why not in the Lin Mansion?

She had asked her master about it.

But the master said that he was worried that Miss Song Er would not come.

That's how today's release came about.

"Madam Du, I've never been a magnanimous person. I can give Madam Du some face for today's matter, but..."

Seeing that there seemed to be room for maneuver in her words, Madam Du wanted to make up for it.

He hurriedly said: "Princess, but it's okay, I will try my best to do it."

Song Jinyue looked at Mrs. Du, but after a while, she made a decision and said, "I won't hide it from Mrs. Du. A few days ago, on the night of my elder sister's great rejoicing, a fire broke out in the Duke's mansion. Although the fire was extinguished, But my eldest sister's biological mother, Shen, has disappeared."

Mrs. Du has heard about this matter, but she has never heard of Shen's disappearance, and she has not reported this matter to the authorities.

Why did Song Jinyue bring this up to herself now?
"I don't know the princess?"

"If Mrs. Du really has the heart, she can help me find Mrs. Shen. Today's matter will be written off, and there will be no need to mention this matter in the future."

"Really?" Mrs. Du was in a bit of a dilemma. Even the Duke's Mansion couldn't find Mrs. Shen. How could she be found as a housewife who lived in seclusion?

Song Jinyue raised her lips and smiled slightly, and took a step forward, but her eyes seemed to be unintentionally turned to the main courtyard of the Du Mansion, which was where Mrs. Lin was.

"Thinking about it, if Mrs. Du asks to go to the Lin Mansion, she might be able to get some clues."

After saying that, Song Jinyue blessed her body, and put Qiu Yun's hand on her shoulders, and stepped into the carriage of the Duke's mansion.

Madam Du frowned and stood at the door for some time.

Think about the meaning of Song Jinyue's words.

Why did she mention Lin Fu?

But what does Lin Fu have to do with Shen's disappearance?
This thought flashed by, and Mrs. Du rushed straight to the main courtyard.

Inside the carriage, Qiu Yun looked at her own lady and asked, "Miss, if Mrs. Du refuses to help, and the Lin family takes advantage of this to transfer Shen, what should I do?"

Song Jinyue leaned back, and Qiu Yun hurriedly took a soft pillow and placed it behind her lady.

"I didn't intend to ask Mrs. Du to help, but through her telling the Lin family, we already know about Mrs. Shen's stay in the Lin residence."

"Then what do you plan to do next, miss?"

Song Jinyue pursed her lips, looked helplessly at Qiu Yun, a silly girl, and explained to her patiently: "Of course I'm waiting for the fish to take the bait. The Lin family knows that I already know about it, so there must be some action.

Either hide the Shen family in another place, or come to the door to negotiate with me with the Shen family.

But no matter how the Lin family chooses, the initiative is now in my hands.

We have already thrown out the hook and bait, and put our minds to it, waiting for the fish to take the bait. "

In fact, there is another relationship, which Song Jinyue did not mention to Qiu Yun.

That is, Shen's biological father is from the enemy country. She already knew that if the Lin family could help Shen, they must also know Shen's biological father.

Taifu Lin is also the prince's mentor, secretly framed the prince while having connections with the enemy country.

If this matter is brought to light, the whole family of the Lin family may not be able to escape the crime of killing the nine clans.

After returning to the Duke's Mansion, Song Jinyue ordered Song Zhi to lead people to keep an eye on the Lin Mansion secretly.

Back inside, had a cup of tea.

This signaled Qiu Yun to close the door.

Sitting on the soft couch, she took out the letterhead that Xu Yun handed over to her today.

But after reading the contents of the letter, Song Jinyue's pupils suddenly shrank, and her heart was empty.

Looking solemn.

She tightly clenched the letter paper in her hand, her eyebrows were frowned, and her eyes were full of shock.

This letter was not left by Doctor Xu.

There is no signature, but she also knows that Xu Yun does not know the content of this letter, otherwise she would never have handed this letter into her hands.

"Miss?"

Seeing that her young lady was on guard all over, Qiu Yun called softly and leaned forward.

Song Jinyue closed the letter paper casually, and said softly, "Qiu Yun, I'm hungry, go get me some pastries."

Although Qiu Yun was puzzled, she followed her lady's order and withdrew.

After the door was closed again, she spread out the letter paper again and stared at the contents of the letter word by word.

She didn't believe what was said in the letter, but she believed a thing or two.

Just because many of these things are too coincidental.

Doctor Xu, who was only eight years old at the time, fled all the way to the capital to join his relatives, and almost starved to death on the way.

It happened that he was rescued by Mr. Du, who was still the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs at that time. Later, Imperial Physician Xu was able to enter the Imperial Hospital, which was also related to Mr. Du.

This matter is still a story I heard from the Queen's aunt, saying that Dr. Xu has no relatives in the capital, and it is not easy for others to betray the Queen.

Doctor Xu's wife is just the daughter of an ordinary family.

Mrs. Xu is not Qin Sheng's aunt.

It was mentioned in the letter that Qin Sheng was willing to take in the Xu family siblings, but only because they were of the blood of the benefactor back then.

In fact, except for one major event that shocked the government and the public, there was a big battle at the border, and countless soldiers died of freezing and starvation.

The entire Du family was punished.

Even though this Master Du has always been a clean and honest government, when the Imperial Forest Army confiscated a million taels of silver from the Du Mansion, it shocked the government and the public.

Qin Sheng and Qin Wan are the sons and daughters of Master Du.

Back then, Imperial Physician Xu risked his life to save the two siblings and sent them to Dingzhou.

In fact, Song Jinyue was still in her mother's womb when these things happened.

It's just that my mother mentioned this matter to me, so I can't help feeling sorry.

However, no one could guarantee the Du family's affairs, after all, the million taels of silver was confiscated from Du's mansion.

Qin Sheng entered the court as an official this time only for revenge!
Song Jinyue loosened her grip on the letter, and the letter slipped quietly.

She also remembered a past event.

The fact that the Du Mansion was confiscated was due to a letter from Mr. Du, the Secretary of the Household Department, that the Queen's Aunt had received in the past.

Only then did the emperor order to search Du's mansion.
