Chapter 42 I’m afraid I won’t be able to see my father again

On the way back to the room, Jun Tingsheng kept recalling the conversation he had just had with Song Baichuan. The other party refused to let him intervene. It was obvious that he did not trust him yet.

Fortunately, she knew early on that he was cautious and suspicious by nature, and it was normal for him to reject her. Thinking of this, Jun Tingsheng didn't mind him rejecting her.

Let's take Ling'er out to play tomorrow. The little girl is crying like that today, so just take her to relax.

Late at night, Song Baichuan's door suddenly got a knock. When he opened the door, he saw that it was his confidant.

"What's the matter?"

"Master Hou, the eldest son is back."

Song Baichuan was shocked when he heard this, and saw his confidant sidestepping away, and one person was helped to stand in front of him.

After taking a closer look, it turned out to be his son Song Lianze, but Song Lianze was covered in blood at this time.

"Hurry and help the person in, and then go find Qin Shi. You have to move quickly."

Just as his confidant was leaving, Song Baichuan called out to him again, "This matter must not be made public. Tomorrow, we will send people to guard outside the garden to keep others away."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

Here, Song Baoling suddenly felt uneasy in his sleep. After opening his eyes, he no longer felt sleepy.

She looked at the flickering candlelight and felt that there was an extra breath in the yard. This breath had never appeared before, but she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Could it be that someone is coming?

Song Baoling put on her cloak and came out of the room. It was late at night and the whole garden was quiet, but she still heard someone talking in the wing next to her.

"That's... daddy's room?"

Seeing that the lights were still on in Song Baichuan's house, Song Baoling walked over without thinking. The door of the house happened to be half open at this time, so she walked in.

There was a person lying on the bed, the person was covered in blood, and Song Baichuan stood beside him anxiously.

Song Baoling just stared blankly, not only not afraid at all, but also a little sad.

"Qin Shi, no matter what, you must keep Ze'er."

"Don't worry, Lord Marquis. Although the eldest son has many wounds on his body, none of them have hurt his vitals. His life will not be in danger for the time being."

Qin Shi had been treating wounds while he was talking. He had been with Song Baichuan on expeditions for many years and had seen all kinds of injuries. He said that if Song Lianze was fine, he would be fine.

Song Lianze was sweating profusely in pain, but he didn't say a word. He turned to look at Song Baichuan, but unexpectedly saw a little girl standing next to him first.

"Dad, she is..."

Song Baichuan turned around when he heard this and was shocked when he saw Song Baoling. He quickly stepped forward and pulled her over: "Ling'er, why are you here? When did you come?"

Song Baoling shook her head and pointed her little finger at Song Lianze on the bed: "Dad, who is this big brother?"

"this……"

Song Baichuan didn't know how to explain it for a moment, so he had to coax: "Ling'er, be good, you go back to your room and go to bed first, daddy will go find you tomorrow."

"But you have to promise dad that you will never tell anyone about tonight, okay?"

At this time, Qin Shi took care of his injuries and took the medicine to get someone to take it. When he passed by the two of them, the prescription in his hand accidentally dropped.

Song Baoling took a look and grabbed his clothes when he left, "Uncle, the medicine on this... is wrong."

Qin Shi was stunned for a moment. He looked at her young face and then looked at the prescription he had written. He really found that one of the medicines he had written was wrong.

"Miss, how did you know this prescription was wrong?"

Song Baoling looked at them and couldn't explain why, so she finally had to lie: "I don't know, I just feel wrong."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head as if she had done something wrong, but in fact she was extremely nervous, fearing that they would investigate further.

Song Baichuan knew that she had always been sensible, and the current situation did not allow him to waste time, so he asked Qin Shi to grab medicine quickly while he stayed in the house.

Of course, Song Baoling was not chased away again.

"Father, is she Ling'er?"

This was the first time for Song Lianze to see his sister. He had been sent away to be raised since he was a child and had not returned home in the past few years. Now it was the first time to see the grown-up Song Baoling.

Song Baichuan nodded, holding Song Baoling and sitting on the chair next to him, "Ling'er, this is your brother."

"He comes back injured tonight. You can't tell anyone about this, you hear me?"

Song Baoling nodded obediently and looked at Song Lianze: "Ling'er won't tell me, brother... I need to get better soon."

Song Lianze smiled at her. He knew clearly that among the many grandchildren of the Song family, their brother and sister had the most difficult life.

"You were injured so badly, what happened?"

"Father, my teacher Mr. Liu disappeared for no reason."

Hearing this, Song Baichuan frowned immediately, "Is he writing those articles criticizing the government again?"

Song Lianze did not answer him, but continued on by himself: "I noticed something was wrong, and I wanted to come back and stay for a while, but I never wanted to be ambushed on the outskirts of the city."

"The servants who escorted me were all killed. If they hadn't fought to protect me, they would never have seen my father again."

Song Baichuan was furious when he heard this, "This is really unreasonable!"

Song Lianze looked at him solemnly and said slowly: "Father, this matter has something to do with the regent. I'm afraid..."

Regent?

Song Baichuan frowned, and after a moment of silence, he comforted Song Lianze: "You should rest in peace and recuperate first. Don't worry about other things. I will send someone to investigate thoroughly."

At this moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly came, and Song Baichuan made a gesture of silence.

"Knock knock knock..."

"who?"

"Master Marquis, the young lady is missing, and the prince is looking everywhere."

Song Baichuan couldn't help but frown and looked at Song Baoling in his arms, "Ling'er, for the sake of your brother, tonight's events must not be revealed to anyone."

"You go back later, and if your uncle asks about it, just say..."

Song Baoling listened carefully and wrote down everything he said, and then she jumped out of Song Baichuan's arms.

"Brother, please be patient and recuperate. Ling'er will come to see you and bring you... delicious food."

Seeing that she cared so much about him, Song Lianze's heart melted, and he touched her head tenderly.

When they came into contact, Song Baoling felt a refreshing breath enter her body. She knew that her brother was a good person.

When Song Baoling walked to the door of the room, she heard someone calling her from behind. When she turned around, she saw Jun Tingsheng running towards her with an anxious face.

"Ling'er, where have you been so late?"

Song Baoling rolled her eyes and said according to what Song Baichuan taught her: "Ling'er just had a dream and walked outside for some reason."

"I have experienced something like this before. Ling'er heard that it is called... sleepwalking."

Jun Tingsheng was startled when he heard this, and then he knelt down and picked her up, "Ling'er is not afraid, it's just sleepwalking. I will find a way to cure it for you."

Seeing that he really believed what she said, Song Baoling couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. If anyone else had believed these words, why would Jun Tingsheng believe them so?

Could it be... is he stupid too?
