Concubine Zhou looked indifferent, "What's the point of you telling me this? Am I the one you should apologize to?"
Madam Jin had lost face today and was no longer like she was at home, unwilling to apologize to a junior, so she hurriedly said, "I was wrong, I should apologize to Miss Tang."
Concubine Zhou glanced at her and saw that she looked very embarrassed. She couldn't help but snorted coldly and said, "I am in the deep palace, but I have also heard some rumors outside the palace. I imagine how much the rumors are spreading outside."
"All of this is due to your improper words. Since you sincerely repent, apologize to Miss Tang in person in front of everyone today and settle this lawsuit. From now on, the Tang and Jin families will still have no grudges against each other and will remain old friends."
"......Yes." Mrs. Jin nodded obediently.
In fact, I was complaining bitterly in my heart.
If I had known this would happen today, I should have listened to my son and taken the initiative to go to the Tang family to apologize. But now I have to apologize in front of so many people. It's really embarrassing.
Seeing that her attitude was acceptable, Concubine Zhou's expression improved a little.
Turning his head to the eunuch beside him, he said, "Go and invite Miss Tang here, and tell her that I want to introduce a few ladies to her."
"Yes."
Yun Ling had good eyesight, and seeing that Madam Jin had kneeled down quite vigorously just now, she had already guessed something.
When she saw Concubine Zhou's palace maid coming to invite her over, she smiled and agreed.
"Ladies, please do as you please. I will be leaving for a moment."
"Miss Tang, please."
When Yunling went over, Concubine Zhou had already asked Madam Jin to get up.
It is true that she wanted to vent Yun Ling's anger, but she would not make Madam Jin kneel down to do things. This would really mean that she did not take Minister Jin seriously and would instead create an enemy.
After Yun Ling passed by, Concubine Zhou introduced several older ladies to her and let her receive a large number of gifts. Then she pointed at Madam Jin and said, "This is the mother of the third son of the Jin family. The old master cured her son's illness in the past. Madam Jin should have gone to the Tang family to thank him. Do you remember her?"
Yun Ling nodded slightly, "Of course I have seen it. Madam Jin is very kind. She gave me many gifts and asked me to call the Third Young Master Jin "brother". She said that our two families are aristocratic families and we should treat each other like brothers and sisters in the future."
She said this very politely.
To outsiders, it seemed that Yun Ling was a tolerant girl who did not bear grudges and spoke well of Madam Jin.
But when Mrs. Jin heard this, she knew that Yun Ling was returning all the sarcastic words that the housekeeper had said back then.
The words were polite, but they were like slaps in the face, making her dizzy and her whole body aching.
She just felt extremely embarrassed.
However, she had to admit that Yun Ling's words still left some room for her and did not completely embarrass her.
Since the little girl said so, she knows what's best for her.
He forced out a smile that was uglier than crying and said, "Miss Tang, the recent rumors in Ruidu involve you and my son. It's really my fault. That day in the temple, someone deliberately tried to trick me, and I didn't notice it for a moment, so someone took advantage of the loophole in the words..."
"At this point, I dare not continue to argue. These are all my faults. The Jin family will definitely explain it clearly to others in the future. I hope Miss Tang will not hold it against me and forgive me this time."
As she spoke, she bowed.
Yun Ling raised her eyes to look at Old Madam Mo and Concubine Zhou.
These two obviously wanted to help her vent her anger.
In fact, based on the relationship between her grandfather and Minister Jin, and based on Zhou Qiong's relationship with Minister Jin in the court, the matter of Madam Jin has been put behind her.
She also told Zhou Qiong not to pay attention to those rumors, and once other gossip spread in Ruidu, this matter would soon disappear.
However, she didn't expect that these two would rather risk offending the Jin family and even losing their support to seek justice for her.
She felt warm in her heart.
With the care and attention of these two elders, she no longer had any grievances.
There was moisture in Yunling's eyes.
"It's all a misunderstanding. Just make it clear. Madam Jin, don't worry about it."
Mrs. Jin became a little nervous when she saw this, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
The others didn't know the real reason why she was about to cry. They just felt that this little girl whose innocence was slandered was truly pitiful, and most of them looked distressed.
"Oh, who wouldn't want to take such a beautiful girl home and love her? Who would have the heart to make up a story? Come on, come and sit next to me. I'm not as quick as Madam Mo, who decided on her for her grandson so early. I can only take advantage of today to take a good look at her."
An elderly lady came out to smooth things over.
Madam Mo also laughed, "I see that even if you want to act quickly, it won't work. Your grandchildren are all married, and their wives are good girls picked out of a hundred. Are you still not satisfied?"
Another lady also laughed and said, "I see she is eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, she is not afraid of getting too full."
The ladies were all familiar with each other, and they chatted with each other to quickly warm up the atmosphere.
While the ladies were chatting and joking, Yun Ling was pulled over by Old Madam Mo to sit down.
He whispered, "Just sit next to grandma and let's get to know some people. If you want to know the people across from you, you can get to know them. If you don't know them, it doesn't matter."
She had seen the previous scene and knew that these noble ladies in Ruidu were somewhat repulsive to Ling'er, so she didn't want her to go back and suffer.
"Okay, I'll talk to grandma."
Seeing her well-behaved appearance, Madam Mo loved her even more and said, "Even if we are allies, we cannot let you compromise. You don't have to be polite to Madam Jin in the future. Don't be afraid, my face is sometimes very useful. If something happens, I will support you."
Everyone laughed and joked for a while, and then a lady suggested, "It's all very well just sitting here and chatting, but it's a waste of precious time. Why don't we let the girls across the street perform their talents? Let them write poems or draw pictures, and then we can rank them and have some fun."
As she spoke, she also took off the golden hairpin on her head and said, "Here, I will use this as a starting point to inspire others."
Then he smiled ingratiatingly at Concubine Zhou, "Your Majesty, you must bring out something good as a reward for this champion."
"Oh my, this guy is even plotting against the Imperial Concubine. Everyone knows that your daughter is a famous talented woman in Ruidu. Could it be that he is saving up a dowry for his daughter?"
Everyone burst into laughter again.
But the wives who had daughters of marriageable age all became nervous.
The Imperial Concubine was also a famous talented woman in Ruidu back then. I wonder if she used the same criteria when choosing her daughter-in-law?
As he was speaking, Zhao Sanbao, who was standing beside Emperor Tai'an, came over.
