Chapter 63

"Just now why did you plead for Li Shi?"

"Is it strange?"

Jun Tingsheng paused when he heard the words, and replied truthfully: "I just think you shouldn't be too kind, and I think you can see that she doesn't really repent."

Hearing this, Song Baoling glanced back at him, then continued walking forward while saying, "Even if I don't intercede for her, won't she be able to return to the Song Mansion?"

"After all, she is my second uncle's first wife, and she has given birth to six offspring for the Song family. I can't stop her from going back."

"Besides, even if she returns to the Song family, I will no longer be the child who was bullied by her since I was a child."

Jun Tingsheng was slightly surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, what Song Baoling said was indeed reasonable.

Afterwards, Song Baoling stopped paying attention to Jun Tingsheng, and began to concentrate on searching after arriving near the cave.

"What are you looking for?"

Jun Tingsheng didn't know what she wanted to do, so he could only search here and there with her, but he didn't know what they were looking for, so he couldn't help at all.

"Just wait for me, you don't need to do it."

Song Baoling didn't explain to him, but still searched earnestly, and finally found the little snake beside the cave.

She knelt down to block Jun Tingsheng's sight, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, it's too dangerous here, I'll take you away."

As she spoke, she opened the wide sleeves, only to see the little snake spit out his temper, and then quickly got into the sleeves.

Jun Tingsheng saw that Song Baoling was hiding something from him, so when she squatted down, he quietly walked behind her, and was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

It was also at this moment that Jun Tingsheng really realized that Ling'er had hidden a lot during the five years since he left.

He can no longer look at this ten-year-old girl with the eyes of the past.

"Okay, let's go back."

Song Baoling seemed to have nothing happened, and took Jun Tingsheng to Jing'an Temple, but he didn't know that her actions just now were noticed by the other party.

After noon, the Song family's team was ready, Mrs. Song took a group of Song family sons and daughters to bid farewell to the presiding officer and Taoist Wang Ting, and the group set off to return to the mansion.

Jun Tingsheng was also in the team, he was worried about another accident on the road, and he also wanted to find out why Song Baoling became like this.

"Ling'er, I haven't seen you for a few years. You really have become more and more graceful. You are almost on par with your mother before she got married."

Li Shi praised without hesitation, and seeing that Song Baoling didn't talk to him, he pretended to be concerned and asked, "Has your health improved in recent years?"

"I still remember that you were always sick when you were young, and you often had to call a doctor at night. Your grandmother and I were so worried that we couldn't sleep all night."

Song Baoling turned his head to look at the old lady, and then said with a smile: "Thank you, Second Aunt, for remembering, I am not as weak as I was when I was young."

"I heard from my grandmother that when I was sick when I was young, it was my second aunt who worried about the doctor's affairs. Ling'er hereby sincerely thank you."

Hearing these words, the smile on Li Shi's face became a bit forced, she secretly glanced at the old lady, and quickly echoed: "We are all a family, so don't be so polite."

"If you need Second Aunt in the future, just say so, Second Aunt will definitely help you if she can."

"Then Ling'er will thank Second Aunt first."

Song Baoling smiled lightly, he couldn't tell that he was acting, which made Li Shi feel a little confused.

Among the people present, Mrs. Song was the happiest. Seeing that they cared about each other regardless of past suspicions, they felt that the family house had finally settled down.

Outside the carriage, Jun Tingsheng looked thoughtful, he heard everything Song Baoling said just now.

Although he was a little relieved that she understood the ways of the world, but for some reason, he always felt a little uneasy.

It seems... this is not his soul.

Xuanping Hou Mansion——

Looking at the familiar courtyard, Li Shi was ready to express her emotions. She ordered her servants to remove the things on the carriage, and then she took Song Baozhu and sisters to go back to the other courtyard of the second room.

"Daddy!"

Song Baoling's shout made Li's footsteps stop, she raised her eyes and saw Song Baichuan walking towards him with a cold face.

"Brother, this time I'm back..."

Seeing Li's nervous explanation, she thought that Song Baichuan was here to question why she went back to the house privately, but she was stunned on the spot by what the other party said next.

"Sister and sister, Minister Pei of the Ministry of War is in the front hall. He is here today to propose marriage for his son Pei Lin."

Li Shi couldn't react, and subconsciously asked: "What kind of marriage?"

Song Baichuan's eyes fell on Song Baozhu, seeing her bowing her head in silence, she frowned and said, "Pei Shilang said that Pei Lin and Baozhu are in love with each other, and they even exchanged tokens of love in private."

"Today, Minister Pei came here to propose a marriage, hoping to marry the second wife of the Song family. As for the marriage, we can discuss it after the second brother comes back."

Li Shi was dumbfounded, and turned to look at Song Baozhu in disbelief: "Zhu'er, you... have you exchanged a token of love with Pei Lin?"

Song Baozhu also seemed to be frightened, and repeatedly waved her hands in denial: "No, I didn't do such a thing!"

"What token of love? I have never met Pei Lin, they are all talking nonsense."

The others were also confused by this situation, the old lady stared at Song Baozhu with a livid face, "What's going on?"

"You said you never met Pei Lin, so why did he say that he exchanged tokens with you?"

Song Baozhu didn't know what to explain, so she could only desperately deny it, but her explanation seemed insignificant in the capacity of Pei Shilang.

Li Shi sensed something strange, but she didn't want to offend people as soon as she came back, which would not do any good for her current situation.

"Brother, I'll go with you to see Minister Pei."

After the two left, Mrs. Song ordered Song Baozhu to go back to the room to stay, and the others also went back to their rooms.

Song Baoling deliberately walked in the back, and when they were all gone, he immediately turned around and walked towards the front hall.

"where are you going?"

Seeing this, Jun Tingsheng followed, seeing her excited face, sighed helplessly: "Want to run to join in the fun again?"

"Such a fun event, of course you can't miss it."

Song Baoling replied without turning his head. After thinking for a while, he stopped and held Jun Tingsheng, and said playfully, "Little uncle, let's go together, it must be very fun."

This is the second time that Jun Tingsheng has heard her call him that since he came back, and it seems to be a bit like that.

"You have something to ask of me."

Song Baoling didn't feel embarrassed when his thoughts were punctured, and he pulled him forward, "If my father finds out, I will definitely be scolded again."

"You can fly me to the roof to see it, so it won't be exposed, and..."

Song Baoling didn't go on talking, Jun Tingsheng glanced at her, and answered with a doting smile: "And we are considered accomplices, even if we are discovered, with me around, Lord Hou will not punish you."

What a smart guy.
