How could she do it?

"Hey, I heard that the eldest daughter of the second room in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion shamelessly seduced the son of Minister Pei."

"Is he that stupid young man from the Pei family? Tsk, tsk, tsk, how could she do it?"

"That's not true. I also heard that Minister Pei went to the Song family to propose marriage, but it didn't work out. Minister Pei even got angry and said he wanted to file a lawsuit against the emperor."

"No way, then this matter will be a big deal..."

On the street, people gathered together in twos and threes, and all they talked about was the marriage between Song Baozhu and Pei Lin.

However, within a day or two, word spread throughout the community that Li would be ridiculed by the ladies he knew when he went out on the street.

Song Baozhu didn't even dare to step out of the house. She hid in her boudoir all day and cried. No one could persuade her to do anything.

In comparison, Song Baoling wandered around happily every day and lived a happy life.

"Hurry, hurry, the candied haws of sugar is in front."

Zhou He looked at the cheerful Song Baoling, followed him and asked curiously: "Ling'er, Song Baozhu is notorious now, are you not worried at all that those rumors will affect your reputation?"

"They say that everyone will be prosperous and suffer losses. Your reaction... is a little too calm."

A flash of emotion flashed in Song Baoling's eyes, she turned around and pretended not to understand and said, "But that was something she did, and I didn't do it, so what does it have to do with me?"

After saying that, she continued to chase the candied haws hawker, obviously her mood was not affected by Song Baozhu's incident.

Seeing her happy look, Zhou He held his forehead speechlessly, but after thinking about it carefully, Song Baozhu brought it upon herself, and she couldn't let Ling'er feel sad just because she did something wrong.

After figuring this out, Zhou He stopped worrying and ran towards Song Baoling with a smile.

The two played until evening. Zhou He sent Song Baoling back to the Song Mansion and left. However, Song Baoling heard that his subordinates said that Song Baozhu was making trouble again, and he became curious and ran to watch the fun.

"I won't marry! I will never marry that fool!"

"The marriage hasn't been decided yet. Stop making trouble and come down quickly..."

"I don't care, I won't marry anyway, I must enter the palace to be drafted!"

Li was patiently coaxing Song Baozhu. Seeing her standing on a stool and hanging herself from the beam, she was so frightened that she begged Song Baichuan to agree to her request.

Song Baoling arrived just in time to see this scene. She glanced at the rope used by Song Baozhu to hang herself, and then moved closer to Song Baichuan.

"Dad, it seems that the rope is about to break. Please help Sister Zhuer down quickly, otherwise she will fall."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was startled, and then their eyes turned to the rope of the beam, and sure enough they saw a break in the rope.

Seeing that the plot was exposed, Li stopped acting and threatened: "Brother, if you don't help our second wife to seek justice, then I will ask my mother-in-law's family for help."

"When the Li family arrives, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain, so..."

Just as he was halfway through speaking, Butler Wu suddenly ran in and said, "Sir, just now someone from the Li family sent a message to the second lady."

Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment, pushed aside the maid and walked to Butler Wu: "What's the message?"

Butler Wu looked troubled, looked at Song Baichuan, and then dared to say: "Second Madam, Mr. Li's original words are... Young Master Pei's family is in good shape and his status is stable, so stop looking for trouble."

When Mrs. Li heard this, she immediately felt paralyzed, and Song Baozhu burst into tears on the spot. The mother and daughter thought they would have the support of the Li family, but they didn't expect...

Here, after Jun Tingsheng heard the rumors, he suspected that the source of the scandal came from the Song Dynasty, and the most suspicious person was Song Baoling, so he asked Cang Mu to investigate secretly.

After some investigation, he really guessed that it was Song Baoling who spread the news.

"La la la..."

Song Baoling walked out of the Song Mansion humming a song. She had been in a good mood these past few days and really didn't want to stay in a house where everything was going crazy.

"The weather is so good, you can ask Zhou He to go fishing in the countryside. It's okay..."

Song Baoling's words stopped suddenly and her footsteps stopped. She looked at Jun Tingsheng who was standing not far away. She suddenly remembered what he said yesterday and turned around and walked in the other direction without thinking.

Seeing her hiding from him, Jun Tingsheng's suppressed anger rose again, and he immediately caught up with her.

"Stop!" Jun Tingsheng's voice was obviously angry.

Song Baoling acted as if she didn't hear anything and continued walking forward, but her hand was caught before she even took a few steps.

The two looked at each other, and Song Baoling withdrew his hand without saying a word, just staring at him with an unhappy face.

Jun Tingsheng saw the disgust in her eyes, and thinking of her experiences in the past five years, the anger in his heart was extinguished again.

"Let me ask you, did you spread the news about Song Baozhu and Pei Lin on purpose?"

Song Baoling was not surprised at all that he knew this, and admitted openly: "Yes, I was the one who spread the news."

"you……"

Jun Tingsheng didn't expect that she would admit it so readily. He was a little speechless for a moment, but seeing her proud expression, he immediately made up his mind and said, "I want to tell the Marquis about this."

…

After a period of silence, Song Baoling suddenly raised his head: "Okay, then you go and tell daddy. Anyway, it was Song Baozhu who bullied me first."

"I will treat her how she treats me. To put it bluntly, it's just retaliation."

Hearing this, Jun Tingsheng frowned displeased. He had already learned from Zhou He's mouth the injustice Song Baoling had suffered in the past five years, but these were completely different things.

Song Baoling saw that he didn't speak and his face was getting more and more ugly. After thinking for a while, his little mouth suddenly dropped and he grabbed his sleeve with a look of grievance.

"Do you really want to tell daddy? Uncle, if daddy knows, he will beat me to death."

Between these two faces, Jun Tingsheng felt that she had changed so much that he could not even recognize her.

Song Baichuan was an upright man. If he knew that Ling'er had done this, Ling'er would probably suffer a lot of physical pain.

Thinking of this, Jun Tingsheng still softened his heart. He could not just watch Ling'er being beaten.

"Forget it, let's forget it this time. If you scheme against others like this again in the future, I will let the Marquis reprimand you severely."

Seeing that he let her go, Song Baoling immediately showed a bright smile and saluted him: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Crown Prince?

Jun Tingsheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. When he had anything to ask for, he would call him uncle, and when he had nothing to ask for, he would call him prince. Ha, although this girl is young, she is quite good at understanding people's hearts.

"If the prince has nothing else to do, Ling'er will leave first."

After saying that, Song Baoling turned around and wanted to slip away, but Jun Tingsheng didn't give her this chance and forcibly dragged her back to the Song Mansion.

He said that he would teach her how to read and write. If she didn't listen, he would ask Song Baichuan to find a wife to teach her the virtues of women.

When Song Baoling heard what he said, no matter how reluctant she was, she went back to her room to study.
