Chapter 55
: Treat each other with courtesy as elders
Bastard?
Jun Tingsheng looked at the person who was glaring at him angrily, and vaguely remembered her appearance as a child. At that time, she always liked to be held in her arms.
Uncle, uncle...
She always shouted so affectionately. Apart from Song Baichuan and Mrs. Song, he was probably the only person she liked the most, but now she had forgotten about herself.
"Why do you bully people?"
Song Baoling looked at Jun Tingsheng with her hands on her hips and said, "Zhou He has never bullied you, why did you say that to him? You... you are not a good person!"
Listening to her scolding him for the sake of others, Jun Tingsheng felt very bitter and didn't understand what happened in the past five years after he left.
"Ling'er, don't be rude."
Song Baichuan's voice suddenly sounded. As soon as Song Baoling saw him, he immediately ran over and complained: "Dad, this man scolded Zhou He away, but Zhou He didn't offend him."
Hearing this, Song Baichuan didn't have much reaction. He just glanced at Jun Tingsheng and then explained to Song Baoling: "He is not someone else. He is your mother's brother, which is also your uncle."
"He was away on an expedition before, and he just returned to the capital today. You can't be so rude to him from now on, and you must treat him with the courtesy of an elder."
elder?
Jun Tingsheng couldn't help but frown. He felt that there was something in Song Baichuan's words, otherwise why would he emphasize his relationship with Linger.
"Okay, after bowing to your uncle, go back to your room. I have something to talk to him alone."
Song Baoling was a little angry, but he still obediently bowed to Jun Tingsheng and left without looking back.
"Master Hou, there are no outsiders at the moment. Master Hou, can you tell me the truth?"
Song Baichuan walked to the stool and sat down. He raised his head and looked at the person standing in front of him calmly, "Ling'er woke up one month after you left for the expedition, but she doesn't remember everyone."
"In the past five years, she has accepted everyone in the Song family and met new playmates, but she still doesn't remember you."
Jun Tingsheng's heart clenched together. He endured the pain in his heart and shook his head: "I don't believe it, Ling'er can't forget me."
"It is what it is."
Song Baichuan ruthlessly broke Jun Tingsheng's fantasy and said to him: "Tingsheng, I admit that you are a good boy, but I hope you will stop pestering Ling'er in the future."
"Your Chengyang Palace is too complicated. I don't want to see Ling'er get hurt because of you. Do you understand what I mean?"
Jun Tingsheng was speechless for a moment. Of course he understood what Song Baichuan meant, but he was unwilling to give in. He was obviously the one who should be by Ling'er's side.
But come to think of it, Jun Tingsheng knew Song Baichuan's character. If he broke up with him, I'm afraid he would never want to see Ling'er again.
Now that he is back, it is still too late to make progress.
"I remember what the Marquis said, but things are unpredictable. No one knows what will happen in the future."
After Jun Tingsheng finished speaking, he saluted him and said, "Master Hou, I haven't visited my father since I returned to Beijing. I will go back today and will visit you another day."
Seeing him leaving in a hurry to avoid himself, Song Baichuan couldn't say the words that came to his lips in the end, so he just took it one step at a time.
Chengyang Prince's Mansion——
Jun Fengqing had already prepared the reception banquet. When she saw her son whom she had not seen for many years, she excitedly took him to sit down and drink, and by the way told him what had happened in the past five years.
However, Jun Tingsheng was preoccupied with Song Baoling and was completely absent-minded. He had no interest in what his father said and just talked about it casually.
"By the way, there is something you need to remember."
Jun Fengqing suddenly became serious and said seriously: "Since Song Baichuan was falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy five years ago, the Holy One seems to have deliberately alienated him, and his status in the court has dropped sharply."
"I've thought about it. You don't have to have a relationship with him in the future. The Xuanping Marquis Mansion... can give up."
As soon as these words came out, Jun Tingsheng's expression changed drastically. Just now Song Baichuan asked him to stay away from Ling'er, and now his father asked him to abandon the Song Mansion. Don't they all want to make it easier for him?
Seeing that he didn't answer, Jun Fengqing frowned displeased: "Ting Sheng, did you hear what I said?"
"boom!"
Jun Tingsheng suddenly stood up from the stool and said with a cold face: "Father, there is no need to say more. I have my own sense of discretion regarding the Xuanping Hou Mansion."
He would never let them control him.
At night, just as Lian Jiao was waiting for Song Baoling to rest, when she turned a corner, someone suddenly covered her mouth from behind.
"Well……"
Lian Jiao was so frightened that she struggled hard. At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind: "It's me, Jun Tingsheng."
Crown Prince?
After Lian Jiao calmed down, Jun Tingsheng released his hand and asked her: "Why didn't Ling'er wake up and write to me?"
Hearing this, Lianjiao didn't react for a while, "I wrote, I wrote. One month after the prince left for the expedition, Miss Ling'er suddenly woke up, and I immediately wrote to inform him."
"Also, in the past five years, I have written no less than twenty letters, and each letter mentioned what happened after the young lady woke up. Didn't the prince receive the letter?"
The more Jun Tingsheng listened, the uglier his face became, "I received the letter, but it never mentioned that Ling'er was awake. I think... the letter has been changed."
So he got the wrong news. For five years, he thought that Ling'er hadn't woken up yet, but he didn't know that he had been plotted long ago.
Only then did Lian Jiao realize that it was no wonder that the prince was so worried about the young lady, but she had not come back for five years.
"Who changed it? Why did he change the letter?"
Jun Tingsheng thought for a moment and immediately guessed who was behind it. Apart from Song Baichuan, who wanted to cut off contact with Ling'er, there was probably no one else.
The truth finally came to light.
On this day, Song Baoling pricked her finger again while embroidering, but similar things had happened many times.
She found that since she met Jun Tingsheng, no matter what she did, things were not going well, even if it pricked her hands with embroidery, she would bite her tongue while eating in the past two days, or else she would just walk on the ground normally.
Can wrestle.
Small situations like this happened again and again, and even Song Baichuan couldn't stand it anymore.
"Mom, do you think what's going on with Ling'er?"
The old lady stared at Song Baoling for a long time, and then comforted Song Baichuan: "It's okay. Maybe she accidentally bumped into something. I will take her to Jing'an Temple to pray for blessings tomorrow, and everything will be fine after that."
As soon as he heard that he was going to Jing'an Temple, Song Baozhu, who was sitting next to him, immediately said, "Grandma, please take my second sister and me with you."
"We also want to go to Jing'an Temple to pray. Grandma, please, okay?"
In the past few years, the Song Baozhu sisters have been quite obedient and have not caused any major troubles. The old lady saw the expectant looks on their faces and did not refuse.
After Song Lianming learned about this, he was worried that they would be in danger on the way as female relatives, so he insisted on going with them. The old lady couldn't resist him, so she agreed to let him go with them.
