Chapter 32
At dinner, everyone in the Song family sat around a table. When Song Baoling was eating happily, he suddenly remembered Jun Tingsheng's explanation before, and turned his head to look, just in time to meet the other party's gaze.

"Linger, this is your favorite lily steamed egg, eat more."

Song Baichuan took a piece and put it in the bowl, but saw Song Baoling drooping his head with a sullen expression on his face.

"It was fine just now, why are you unhappy now? Is the food not to your liking?"

Song Baoling raised his head to look at him, interlocked his fingers and said a little sadly: "Daddy, I miss my mother."

In a word, Song Baichuan broke his defense in an instant, looking at his precious daughter's aggrieved face, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Seeing this, the old lady was also very distressed, and quickly comforted: "Ling'er, your mother must be watching you in the sky, and she will bless you to grow up safely."

Song Baoling pouted with an expression of about to cry, looked at the old lady, then turned to look at the silent Song Baichuan.

"Father, I dreamed of my mother when I took a nap today, she looks so beautiful..."

"I've never seen mother before, I... miss her, Daddy, can I take mother's things to sleep at night?"

Song Baichuan already felt sorry for his little daughter, but now seeing her miss her mother so much, his heart ached so much that he agreed without even thinking about it.

"Of course it's fine. Since it belongs to your mother, you can take it if you want."

Seeing this scene, the old lady next to her also echoed, "I remember that the eldest daughter-in-law brought a lot of dowry when she got married. After a while, grandma asked someone to open the house and let you choose."

Song Baoling's eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at her happily: "Really?"

"Of course it's true, grandma can still lie to you."

"Then can I go now? Daddy."

Seeing that Song Baoling was happy, Song Baichuan couldn't bear to spoil her, so he stood up and said, "Let's go, Dad will take you there."

"Thank you dad."

Song Baoling got off the chair, just about to reach out for Song Baichuan to hug, when Li Shi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up, and made a loud noise because he was too anxious.

Everyone cast their eyes on her one after another, only to see her showing a somewhat embarrassed smile: "Brother, it's getting late, why don't you take Ling'er back to the room and wait, and I'll pick for Linger."

Song Baichuan frowned slightly, and refused in a cold voice: "Don't bother my siblings, I'll take Linger to pick them myself."

As he spoke, he bent down and picked up Song Baoling, and when he was about to leave, Shi Li blocked his way.

"Brother, actually I don't think it's appropriate to do this. After all, my sister-in-law has passed away. If Ling'er is to sleep with the belongings of the dead, I'm worried..."

Hearing this, Song Baichuan's face darkened for a moment, "What is the property of the dead? Can Linger not touch my wife's dowry?!"

Frightened by him, Li took a step back, and explained in a panic: "Brother misunderstood, I didn't mean that, I just thought..."

Seeing her faltering, too nervous to speak, Song Baichuan keenly sensed something was wrong.

The old lady stared at her for a while, then got up and walked in front of her, "Li Shi, tell me the truth, are you hiding something from me?"

Li Shi trembled all over, raised his head and looked at him, "No, how dare my daughter-in-law lie to mother about something."

"Then why do you keep preventing Ling'er from choosing her mother's dowry?"

"My daughter-in-law is not trying to stop her, she's just worried about the cold at night and Ling'er's weak bones, so she wants to fetch things for her."

Song Baichuan glanced at her indifferently, and said with a cold snort, "I will take care of Ling'er myself, so I don't need my siblings to bother."

After finishing speaking, he hugged Song Baoling and left, and the old lady also followed after seeing this situation.

Jun Tingsheng sat on the stool and didn't speak from the beginning to the end, until he saw Li Shi following up in a panic, then he got up unhurriedly.

"Let's go, let's join in the fun too."

Cang Mu knew what was going to happen next, he just felt that he could finally let out his bad breath, and followed Jun Tingsheng in a good mood.

"Daddy, does mother have a lot of things?"

"a lot of."

"Then I'll take one, and I'll bring another one for daddy, daddy... misses mother too."

This sentence entered Song Baichuan's heart. He missed his beloved wife day and night, but he didn't show it on weekdays, but this child saw it.

Song Baoling felt his sadness, and couldn't help but feel a little sad. If it weren't for the difficult delivery when her mother gave birth to her, they must be a loving couple now.

It's a pity that people have joys and sorrows, the moon waxes and wanes, and nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in the world.

A group of people came to the wing room where the dowry was placed. The old lady asked someone to fetch the key to open it, and then led Linger's hand into the room.

"Come on, these are your mother's dowry, take whatever you like."

Looking at the dazzling array of gold and silver jewelry, as well as all kinds of jewelry and porcelain, even if Song Baoling didn't know the goods, he could guess that these things were of great value.

During Song Baoling's selection, Song Baichuan and the old lady were also wandering around, but the two soon realized something was wrong.

"I remember that Li'er's dowry included a set of red emerald hair. Why are there only earrings and a necklace here? Isn't there two hairpins?"

Upon hearing the words, the old lady walked quickly to Song Baichuan's side, looking at the only earrings and necklaces left in the box, her expression changed suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, she checked the other objects again, and found that there were many less scattered items.

"Our house may have been burglarized, and many things are missing."

As soon as these words came out, Li Shi, who was hiding at the door, immediately showed up, "Mother, this room has been vacant, and no one comes in or out on weekdays, so I don't know when things are lost."

"You can't tell. There were thieves who sneaked in a few years ago, but we didn't find out."

Although Li Shi's words made the old lady suspicious, but there is no evidence right now, so she could only say to Song Baichuan: "It's my mother who didn't look after you, don't worry, my mother will find someone to find all the lost things tomorrow."

Song Baichuan frowned. These were all left by Li'er, and he thought they could be passed on to Ling'er in the future, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

He turned his head to look at the little person beside him, sighed helplessly, and then hugged her up, "Ling'er, have you found what you want?"

Song Baoling put his arms around his neck and shook his head lightly, then tilted his head and asked, "Is the hairpin that Dad mentioned just now something that Mother used to like very much?"

"Daddy, can Linger take it?"

Jun Tingsheng next to him silently curled his lips, this little girl is quite clever, despite being a big kid.

Just when Song Baichuan didn't know how to answer, a man hurried in with an anxious look on his face, "Master, Baoji's shopkeeper Zhou is here."

"What is he doing here at this hour?"

The servant turned his head and glanced at Li Shi, and said in a low voice, "Master Zhou said...he came to ask Second Young Mistress for money."
