Chapter 43 Linger is just a little baby

Song Lianze's return was well hidden by Song Baichuan, and no one noticed anything strange until the next day.

But such peaceful days did not last long. Mrs. Li soon discovered something strange about the big house, because there were suddenly more people guarding the entrance to the private garden of the big house.

Not only that, she also accidentally bumped into Song Baichuan's deputy general leading people in and out, which made her feel that something was wrong.

"Sophora japonica."

When the maid named Huaixiang saw Li, she subconsciously stepped back. When she saw her waving to her, she had no choice but to walk over and salute.

"Second Madam."

Li Shi glanced around, then pulled Huaixiang and walked to the side, "How is it? Did you find anything unusual?"

Huaixiang shook her head in embarrassment, "Second Madam, I did as you told me, but there is nothing unusual in the Marquis' courtyard."

"The Marquis also went to court as usual, and stayed in the study after going to court. I wonder... could it be that the second lady is overthinking it?"

"impossible!"

Li refused and saw that she didn't seem to be lying, so she had to send the person away first.

He wanted to bribe the maid to find out the information, but in the end he still gained nothing. Looking at the soldiers guarding the gate of the garden, Li turned around and left unwillingly.

She had to think of another way.

Unexpectedly, only half a day later, Mrs. Li accidentally heard her servants discussing that Huaixiang had been thrown out of the house.

"What were you talking about just now?"

When the servants who were stopped saw that it was her, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. Seeing this, Mrs. Li was so angry that she threatened: "Don't even say yes, don't forget, I am also the second wife of this family, and I have to deal with several servants."

The qualifications are still there.”

Upon hearing this, the servants all knelt down to admit their mistake, and one of them even answered truthfully: "Second Madam, we were just talking about Huaixiang being thrown out of the mansion."

Li was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who threw her out of the house? What else did she commit?"

"This... I heard that his hands and feet were unclean. After being discovered by the Marquis' lieutenant, he was thrown out of the house directly."

"I heard that when Huaixiang left, her whole face was white. She was probably frightened."

Hearing what they said, Li's heart suddenly sank. Let's not say whether Huaixiang's hands and feet were really dirty. It would be too coincidental.

As soon as she bribed Huaixiang to inquire about the situation, Huaixiang was thrown out of the house. No matter how she thought, this was done deliberately by the big house.

No, I must find out what the hell Dafang is doing!

With this in mind, Mrs. Li decided to target one person. They all said that the child was young and ignorant. If she started with Song Baoling, there would definitely be different gains.

As soon as she woke up from her nap, Song Baoling went to look for him with the cloth rabbit given by Jun Tingsheng. When she arrived, she was told by the servant that Jun Tingsheng had left the house early in the morning to do some work.

There was no other way, so Song Baoling had no choice but to go back to Bieyuan without any interest, but she never thought that she would be stopped by Li as soon as she reached the corner.

"Ling'er, my second aunt just wanted to find you, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

Song Baoling looked at the filthy air lingering around her and subconsciously took a step back, "Aunt Second, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Second Aunt came here specifically to apologize to you for what happened before. Also, you saved Mu'er. Second Aunt really wants to thank you very much."

With that said, Mrs. Li handed the gift in her hand to her, "This is a little thought from the second aunt. They are things that girls like to play with. You must accept them."

Song Baoling didn't know what she wanted to do, so she put the things away first, and when she was about to find an excuse to leave, her hand was grabbed.

"Ling'er, actually my second aunt has something else I want to ask you."

Song Baoling tilted her head and looked at her, "Second Aunt, Ling'er is just a little baby, Ling'er is worried that she won't be able to help."

"No, no, no, you can definitely help me with this."

Mrs. Li said as she pulled Song Baoling towards Bieyuan, "Second Aunt wants to repair the house. I think your main house in Dongyuan is very well built, so I want to learn from it."

"Look, can you take my second aunt in for a visit?"

Song Baoling was a little confused about her intentions. Suddenly she thought about her brother returning home injured last night, and Song Baichuan Qian Dingzhuwan asking her to keep it a secret. From this, it seemed that the second aunt might have noticed something strange and wanted to use her hand to cause trouble.

.

"Second Aunt, why don't you go find your father and ask him to give you the layout drawings of the main house?"

When Mrs. Li heard this, she quickly waved her hand and refused: "No, no, just take me in and have a look. It's better not to trouble your father."

Seeing that she still didn't give up after getting this job, Song Baoling thought hard for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay, I'll take the second aunt to have a look."

When they arrived at the gate of Bieyuan, Song Baoling turned around without any intention of going in.

Then he took Li around for a while, saying he needed to rest when he was tired, and then chasing butterflies in the yard to play, just like a child.

"Ling'er, Ling'er..."

Mrs. Li was really anxious, so she simply grabbed Song Baoling and said, "Ling'er, there's really nothing to see around this courtyard. Why don't you take me to the main house to have a look, or the wing where you live."

Song Baoling looked at her pretending to be confused, "The wing room? Why does the second aunt want to see the wing room?"

"Ling'er doesn't want to go back. If Second Aunt wants to see it, she might as well tell her father and you can go in and see it yourself."

These words left Li Shi speechless. Seeing Song Baoling turn around and run away, she immediately chased after him unwillingly, but accidentally stepped on a stone and sprained her foot.

"Ouch!"

Song Baoling heard the cry of pain and turned to look at Li who was holding the pillar with a face full of pain, "Second Aunt, are you tired?"

Seeing her innocent look, Li wanted to take action but was afraid that Song Baichuan would find out and cause trouble. Finally, she suppressed her anger and said: "Ling'er, Second Aunt will go back first. You can have fun by yourself."

"By the way, don't tell your father about the second aunt coming to see you. Do you understand?"

Song Baoling nodded towards her, "Ling'er won't tell."

Seeing Mrs. Li limping away, Song Baoling couldn't help but laugh. It was the first time she saw her second aunt looking so embarrassed.

Looking at the sun, Song Baoling thought that Jun Tingsheng should be back, so she ran to find him.

"Is it really not possible? Think of another way."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for Marquis Xuanping to escape this time. We have to make new plans, or the prince can consider..."

Song Baoling pushed open the door, ran in and asked anxiously: "Dad, what's wrong with him?"

The two people in the room were startled when they saw her appearance. Jun Tingsheng looked at her in shock. The people next to him reacted quickly, raised their hands to cover their faces and left quickly.

"Ling'er, why are you here?"

Song Baoling did not answer him, but asked anxiously: "Uncle, what happened to my father?"

Seeing that she was so anxious, Jun Tingsheng could only reassure her: "Don't worry, your dad is fine. He will be back soon."

"Really?"

"of course it's true."

Jun Tingsheng said swornly, but the result was that Song Baichuan did not come back until late at night, and this situation continued until the next day.
