Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2813 Master Qingsong 31.0
Upon hearing this, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha couldn't help but sigh in unison.

After sighing, the two exchanged a glance, revealing helpless expressions.

Putting everything else aside, they greatly admired Chu Han's perseverance in getting to the bottom of things. If it were them, they might not have done the same. They might have persisted, but not to this extent. After all, both sides knew very well that the truth would not be so easily revealed.

"Grand Uncle is truly persistent!" Jin Miaomiao expressed the same helplessness, saying, "So many years have passed since then, what's the use of still clinging to this? Time cannot be reversed, and even if it could, the Jingwang Mansion and his brothers would still face the same situation, nothing would change. This is what Heaven has planned. So, whether the Yun family tells him the truth or not, it's all the same."

"We all understand what you're saying, and our great-uncle understands it too, but..."

“I understand.” Jin Miaomiao nodded. “This is his obsession, isn’t it?”

“That’s right, that’s an obsession.” Song Yaojia gave a bitter smile, her expression full of helplessness. “Once this knot in his heart becomes an obsession, it’s not so easy to untie. What’s more, this knot in his heart has been there for many years.”

"That makes sense. So, did the advisor tell him?"

"That's not very clear. My uncle doesn't know much about the things between Master Qingsong and my great-uncle. They themselves haven't said much either. If they don't bring it up, my uncle won't ask them."

"But."

“It’s not good for Master to ask, but we can.” Shen Haolin raised an eyebrow slightly. “We’ll ask him when Grand Uncle has time, right?”

"The Duke's suggestion is excellent."

“However, I don’t think the Yun family will tell Grand Uncle the truth.” Shen Cha gently shook her head. “Putting everything else aside, Master Qingsong is one of the oldest members of the Yun family. If he tells Grand Uncle the truth, I’m afraid…” She looked at Song Yaojia, then at Shen Haolin, “Right?”

“Yes!” Shen Haolin nodded. “He probably didn’t say it, but the knot in his heart has been untied. Uncle no longer has any obsession with this.”

“Indeed, he feels very peaceful now and doesn’t care much anymore.” Song Yaojia smiled at the two of them and said, “But only the two of them know the details of how he resolved this issue, or what happened, or maybe just a few of the core elders of the Yun family.”

"The more you talk about it, the more curious I get," Jin Miaomiao nudged Merlin. "Isn't that right?"

"Hmm!" Merlin nodded. "For the Second Young Master, this must have been a very big deal, not something he could easily let go of. It's quite unbelievable that he was able to let it go after that meeting."

“Not only did they let go, but they also became best friends and brothers after their fight.” Song Yaojia spread his hands. “My great-uncle stayed at the Yun family for more than half a month. When he left, the two of them were so reluctant to part. The master saw him off for ten miles and was still reluctant to let him go.”

"Are they really that close?" Jin Miaomiao's eyes widened. "I'm getting more and more interested. What exactly happened between them? This isn't just about letting go of past grievances or obsessions anymore. This is progressing way too fast."

"That's not all!" "Not all? What else?"

"They even became sworn brothers in front of several elders of the Yun family," Song Yaojia paused, looked at everyone's expressions, and slowly said, "with the witness of several elders of the Yun family."

"Sworn brothers?" Seeing Song Yaojia nod, Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin and stroked her chin. "I'm getting more and more curious about what happened between them in those two weeks. Since Uncle Huang described it as 'no fight, no friendship,' the story of those two weeks must have been very interesting." She reached out and grabbed Shen Haolin's arm, blinking her eyes. "Sister Ning, are you going to set up your stall tomorrow?"

"Since Sister Ning is setting up her stall, the old lady won't be following along, so perhaps..."

“We’ve invited our great-uncle to a teahouse. Our private room is very clean, and there will be virtually no one to disturb us. We can have a proper chat. What do you think, brother?”

"It's decided then!" Jin Miaomiao rushed over and patted Shen Cha and Shen Haolin's hands before Shen Haolin could speak. "After I finish teaching those little brats to Xiao Yezi, I'll invite my great-uncle to the teahouse. See you there at noon!"

Shen Cha glanced at Shen Haolin and Song Yaojia, and seeing that they both nodded at the same time, she smiled at Jin Miaomiao.

"Okay!"

Jin Miaomiao gave Song Yaojia another high five, then smiled and sat back down in her seat.

"To be honest, these two are very capable to have accomplished this in just over half a month."

"Yes, I agree!" Song Yaojia nodded. "Come to think of it, these two people do look a bit alike, don't they?"

“Master Qingsong, because he was betrayed by a so-called friend when he was young, probably won’t accept others easily. Not only will he not accept them easily, but he will also be very wary of most people in this world and very defensive of those who get close to him. And my great-uncle…” Shen Cha sighed softly, “is even more so. The disaster at the Jingwang Mansion and the experiences of my two great-uncles have made them resistant to most people. It is very difficult for them to take the initiative to get close to and accept others.”

"Their personal experiences are quite similar; they both encountered unpleasant things in their youth, and these unpleasant things were related to people around them or people they knew well. After going through all of this, the fact that they could still cherish each other and even become sworn brothers in such a short time must be a very significant improvement for both of them, right?"

"It's more than just progress; it's a breakthrough," Jin Miaomiao exclaimed. "In any case, Grandmaster and Uncle are role models for us all!"

“It’s not as serious as being a role model. After all, these things only happen when you meet the right person at the right time.” Shen Cha smiled and raised an eyebrow at Jin Miaomiao. “Maybe it’s fate that they have to meet each other at that time and in that place.”

"What you said makes a lot of sense."

"Looking at it this way, the only people Master Qingsong can confide in are his imperial uncle and grand-uncle—one a family friend, the other a true brother." Shen Cha looked at Jin Miaomiao and asked with curiosity, "When Grand-uncle was talking about this before, I wanted to ask, are there really such magical people in this world? Can they forget things they want to forget immediately? Is this considered an illness?"
