Chapter 175 The villain behind the scenes
is causing trouble
"By the way, you have been away for an hour or two, why are you leaving the palace now?"
Jun Tingsheng finally remembered the business, but after asking the question, he didn't hear Song Baoling's response. When he turned around, he saw that the other party had an angry look on his face.
Looking back on the past few days, they haven't met each other, so it's impossible for me to make her angry, and there was no unpleasantness when we parted at Xiangqi Tower for the last time...
Jun Tingsheng was stunned for a moment, looked at Song Baoling with a straight face, and smiled helplessly.
"Why, are you still angry that I spoke loudly to you that day?"
Hearing this, Song Baoling became even more angry and retorted: "Are you speaking loudly? You are simply trying to hurt me!"
"I know you want to deal with the regent, so I want to help you find out the matter. It would be better for you to attack me indiscriminately, making it look like I am making trouble unreasonably."
Seeing her aggrieved look, Jun Tingsheng knew that she was in the wrong and quickly begged: "Okay, don't be angry. It was my fault that day and I shouldn't have hurt you."
"I was thinking that since Lin Haiqing and Jun Tianlin couldn't deal with each other, I would investigate the matter clearly and sell Lin Haiqing a favor to win over him."
Song Baolin suddenly realized that he had misunderstood him, "But if Lin Haiqing really has private contact with Xian Guo, then he is treasonous with the enemy."
"He didn't."
Jun Tingsheng denied it with a very serious expression, "I haven't gone to the Song Mansion to look for you in the past few days. I have been investigating this matter."
"I have found out that someone deliberately framed Lin Haiqing, but I don't know exactly what happened. Now the Holy One is starting to ask about the matter. You just have to keep pretending not to know. I will investigate as soon as possible."
Having said that, Song Baoling was still very worried. After all, the charge of "collaborating with the enemy" was no joke.
Seeing that she was about to arrive at the Song Mansion, Song Baoling took the initiative to invite Jun Tingsheng to see the clothes she had prepared for the Four Kingdoms Banquet tomorrow, but she was rejected.
"What? You even reached the door and didn't go in to take a look. You clearly don't want to stay with me for a moment longer."
Song Baoling returned to the small courtyard gloomily. When she thought about being decisively rejected by Jun Tingsheng just now, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Forget it, forget it, tomorrow is the Four Nations Banquet, and we can meet again then.
After one night, the Four Nations Banquet officially arrived. Song Baoling got up early to dress up, but as soon as she put on her newly made clothes, something unexpected happened.
"Black thread? Where did the black thread come from?"
Song Baoling stroked the black thread that had been stained on her clothes at some point. She remembered that she had never used thread of this color before, so why...
"Ling'er."
An old and kind voice came, Mrs. Song took Mrs. Li into the house, and when she saw Song Baoling in gorgeous clothes, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Seeing this, Song Baoling could only pretend that nothing happened and stepped forward to salute: "Ling'er has met my grandmother and second aunt."
"You don't need to be polite in front of your family."
"Ling'er, mother and I are here to see how you are preparing. After all, the Four Nations Banquet is a big event, and you must not make any mistakes."
"What the second aunt said is that Ling'er will be careful."
Mrs. Li had a concerned look on her face. In order to test whether the clothes matter had anything to do with her, Song Baoling turned around in front of her and said, "Grandma, Second Aunt, what do you think is wrong with my outfit?"
Mrs. Song looked at it carefully and nodded repeatedly with a kind smile: "Not bad, not bad. You look great in this dress. There is nothing wrong with it."
Mrs. Li on the side also echoed: "What mother said is very reasonable. I think Ling'er is already pretty and well-behaved. This dress makes her more dignified and generous."
Hearing this, Song Baoling moved closer to her, wanting her to see more clearly, "Second Aunt, are you sure there is nothing wrong with this dress?"
"No, I think it's pretty good."
As he said this, Li reached out and touched it with an envious look, "After all, this is a fabric given by the Queen Mother and handmade by the best tailor in the city. I think you will be in the spotlight today."
After Song Baoling carefully observed it, he found that Mr. Li seemed to be unaware of the black thread on his clothes. In this case, someone else might have done something wrong.
"Second Aunt is too exaggerated, I'm even a little shy."
"Your second aunt is telling the truth. My Ling'er was born so beautiful, who can compare to you?"
The three of them chatted happily, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. After all, no one wanted to cause anything bad to happen during the Four Nations Banquet today.
"No, no, no, second lady, something happened..."
The maid from the second room suddenly ran in in a hurry. When she saw Mrs. Song was there, she was so frightened that she froze on the spot.
"You're in a panic early in the morning. What's the big deal?"
"Back to the old lady, it's... the eldest lady."
When Mrs. Li heard that it was related to Song Baozhu, she subconsciously got up and asked, "What happened to Baozhu?"
"Second Madam, I didn't know what happened to the eldest lady just now. She suddenly started making a lot of noise and said some unlucky words from time to time..."
Hearing this, Mrs. Song's face instantly turned ugly, and Mrs. Li hated iron for not becoming steel, but for now she could only solve the problem first.
"Mother, my daughter-in-law will go see the orb first and come back later to apologize to you."
After saying that, Mrs. Li hurriedly left with her maid.
After they left, Mrs. Song seemed to have changed. She asked Song Baoling seriously: "Ling'er, is there something wrong with the dress you are wearing?"
Song Baoling was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head in denial: "No, the material of my clothes is expensive, so I kept it carefully after the tailor shop made it. What could be the problem?"
Upon seeing this, the old lady looked at her calmly. Just now she saw that Song Baoling's words and deeds were clearly related to clothes. Why didn't she admit it now?
At this time, Song Baoling always felt uncomfortable. She raised her eyes inadvertently, only to find that there was turbidity on the top of her grandmother's head.
"Old Madam, Miss, the carriage arranged by the palace is waiting at the door of the mansion."
Lian Jiao walked in to deliver a message. As soon as Song Baoling saw her, he immediately stood up and walked over, "Lian Jiao, I'm afraid I'm going to be delayed for a long time today. Please stay with my grandmother for me. With you by my grandmother's side, I can also be in the palace."
Peace of mind.”
Although she didn't know what Song Baoling meant, Lian Jiao immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, don't worry, young lady, I will definitely take good care of the old lady."
Mrs. Song gave a few worried words before leaving accompanied by Lian Jiao, while Song Baoling was in trouble.
The carriage was waiting outside. As the organizer of the Four Nations Banquet, she naturally had to go to the palace in advance to make preparations.
But now there was no time to change clothes, so Song Baoling had no choice but to pull out all the black threads. As a result, the black threads that had just been pulled out smudged on the sleeve handkerchief and turned into colorful powder in the blink of an eye.
