Chapter 37 Linger has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child

"Ling'er has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child. She would never do such a thing."

The old lady finally spoke. She looked at Song Baoling and then at Song Lianmu who was on the ground, "Maybe the two siblings accidentally fell into the water when they were arguing."

When Mrs. Li heard this, she pretended to be desperate and said loudly: "Mom, you can't be so partial. She is your granddaughter. Even Mu is the grandson of the Song family."

At this time, Song Baichuan, who had been silent, stood up, but he stood next to Song Baoling.

"I believe Ling'er would not do such a vicious thing."

"I also believe in Ling'er."

Jun Tingsheng echoed repeatedly, but seeing that everyone still looked at him with suspicion, he continued: "I would like to guarantee as the Crown Prince of Chengyang that Ling'er will never push Song Lianmu into the water."

After saying that, he leaned down slightly and gently explained to Song Baoling: "Don't be afraid, Ling'er, they don't dare to do anything to you as long as your uncle is here."

"But my uncle wants you to tell them what happened just now?"

Song Baoling nodded hesitantly, then looked at the crowd and whispered: "I was playing alone by the pond just now, and my brother suddenly appeared... he pushed me, and I couldn't stand firm, so I accidentally grabbed him, and then we...

We fell in together."

Although she spoke intermittently and her enunciation was sometimes unclear, the people present could still understand what was going on.

"you are lying!"

Song Baozhu shouted unwillingly, "You must have pushed my brother into the water on purpose. You wanted to kill him..."

"Shut up!"

Song Baichuan scolded her sternly and looked at her seriously, "I don't let you make random guesses about what happened."

Perhaps she was frightened by Song Baichuan's majesty, and Song Baozhu was so frightened that she shut her mouth, but when she met Li's eyes, she immediately changed her mind.

"Uncle, although she is your daughter, you can't be so partial to her."

As soon as these words came out, the guests started talking one after another. Although their voices were not loud, Song Baichuan could guess what they were talking about.

Too bad, daddy was misunderstood again.

Song Baoling felt that the turbid air around her was gradually increasing, and she felt a little uncomfortable. She looked at Song Baichuan, whose face was ashen, closed her eyes, and fainted to the ground.

"Ling'er!"

Jun Tingsheng was startled by her sudden situation, and immediately picked her up in a panic, "Ling'er, Ling'er, wake up quickly."

Song Baichuan had also arrived at this time. When he noticed Song Baoling's slightly trembling eyelashes, he instantly understood that she was pretending to be faint.

This girl...

"I'll take Ling'er back."

Jun Tingsheng quickly ran back with the man in his arms, Cang Mu followed behind him, and before leaving, he glanced at Song Lianmu, who was still unconscious, and Li Shi next to him.

"Ling'er was already in poor health, and he fell into the water just now. I'm afraid he will be sick again for a while."

The old lady looked at their retreating figures with worry on her face, and was helped to see Song Baoling, but she was stopped as soon as she made any move.

Song Baichuan sighed solemnly, "Mom, you stay here to accompany the distinguished guests. I will go see Ling'er. Don't worry, she will be fine."

The situation is now a mess. Even if the old lady misses Song Baoling in her heart, she can only listen to Song Baichuan's words. After all, the people here today are all courtiers and officials. If she neglects her because of this, I'm afraid it will lead to more gossip in the future.

After quickly arranging everything, Song Baichuan went to the other courtyard where Song Baoling lived. As soon as he arrived at the door of the room, he heard two people talking in the room.

"Ling'er is really smart. My uncle was scared by you just now."

"My uncle is lying. Ling'er is just pretending. My uncle must have noticed..."

Song Baichuan's face darkened a bit when he heard this, and when the two of them were happy in the room, he suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Ling'er!"

With a scolding, Song Baoling quickly got down from the chair and stood up, still wrapped in a soft blanket.

"Daddy..."

Song Baoling shouted timidly. She could see that Song Baichuan was angry, although she didn't know why he was angry.

"You learned to lie at a young age. Who taught you this?!"

Song Baichuan walked up to her with a stern face and taught her a lesson with his hands behind his back: "What have you learned in the past few years since I haven't been with you?"

"I usually see you as well-behaved and sensible, but today you dare to pretend to be confused and deceive. Why, do you think I won't punish you?"

Jun Tingsheng frowned in displeasure and said, "Master Hou, there is a reason for what Ling'er did just now. You shouldn't talk to her like this."

It was the first time that Song Baoling saw Song Baichuan get so angry. She walked over and pulled Jun Tingsheng, and then took the initiative to explain: "Dad, don't be angry, Ling'er really didn't mean to lie."

"What Ling'er said just now is true. It was my younger brother who pushed me and I accidentally brought him into the water. I..."

"But they don't believe me. Sister Baozhu also said that dad is... partial. The guests are all talking about it. Ling'er doesn't want dad to be misunderstood by them."

"Ling'er... Ling'er can't think of a way to do it. He can only pretend to be fainted first. When his brother wakes up and is fine, Ling'er can explain it again."

Song Baoling analyzed it at random. Although what he said was a bit confusing, Song Baichuan basically understood it.

Seeing that she had no choice but to pretend to be faint because she didn't want to be misunderstood, Song Baichuan was helpless and a little relieved.

He spent too few days with Ling'er, and he thought she would be estranged from him, but he never thought that she would still care about him so much at such a young age.

"Okay, Ling'er, daddy wrongly blamed you."

Song Baichuan knelt down and tightened the blanket tightly for her, and sighed: "It was indeed the best solution for you to pretend to be fainted at the time, but it was a lie after all. Don't do this kind of thing again in the future."

"Okay, Ling'er listen to daddy."

After Song Baoling nodded in agreement, she saw him stand up and look at Jun Tingsheng, and then began to teach him a lesson: "Your Majesty, you are too indulgent towards Ling'er."

"Now that she is still young, it is time for her to distinguish right from wrong. Once something happens, I am afraid it will be difficult for her to correct it in the future."

"In the future, I hope the prince will be a little stricter when dealing with Ling'er and not indulge her too much."

Jun Tingsheng thought that he had done nothing wrong and Song Baoling had done nothing wrong, but everything Song Baichuan said made sense.

He was silent for a moment, and finally apologized on his own initiative: "Yes, what the Marquis said makes sense, I will remember it."

Seeing this, Song Baichuan stopped delving further and asked the maid to change Song Baoling into clean clothes, and then asked her to tell the whole story again.

After finishing the story, Song Baoling pursed her lips aggrievedly and said, "Dad, Ling'er didn't bully my younger brother. It was my younger brother who always bullied me."

"Today, he pushed Ling'er by the pond. Ling'er accidentally took him into the water. Dad, can you help Ling'er make the decision?"

Compared to the calm Song Baichuan, Jun Tingsheng's face was much uglier. He knew how vicious the sons and daughters of the second brother of the Song family were. The first time he met Ling'er, she was almost buried alive by them.
