Chapter 515 I was wrong, Miss Shen is indeed a gentleman
The implication of Shen Mingzhu's words was that she was planning to give in.
But Mingshi had no intention of letting her go. She was slapped. Others said, "I'll try to see if it hurts." Since you don't want to slap me, I won't slap her. Are you willing to fight with the other person? Is it OK to shake hands and make peace?
"Since we know that a gentleman does not take what others like, what on earth did Miss Shen want to do today?" Ming asked in return.
Although the people present had previously known that Shen Mingzhu was quibbling and trying to cover up today's incident, but now that Ming was exposed without giving any face, it was simply laughable.
A gentleman doesn't take what others like, how dare she say it?
This phoenix crown is the most important thing to others. She dares to ask others to give it to her. How can you say that a gentleman doesn't take what others like and doesn't force it?
What kind of gentleman is she?
Almost like bandits.
Xie Yixiao advised Ming: "Don't get angry, Mrs. Prince, over such a trivial matter. Maybe people are different and have different definitions of a gentleman. Maybe Miss Shen thinks she is a gentleman in this way."
Mingshi suddenly realized after hearing this: "It turned out that I was wrong. Miss Shen is indeed a gentleman."
"Don't go too far!" Shen Mingzhu was so angry that her face turned black and she was about to have a seizure.
These two people really went too far. She didn't even want the phoenix crown. What else did they want from her?
Xie Yixiao glanced at her, gently shook the white fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "Miss Shen, please don't beat me up. Who went too far in this matter today?"
Shen Mingzhu gritted her teeth, feeling that if this matter continued without Feng Guan being able to get it, she would be laughed at. She clenched her fingers into a fist: "Then what do you want?"
Ming looked at Xie Yixiao and raised her chin slightly, implying that she wanted to let Xie Yixiao make the decision on his own.
Xie Yixiao walked two steps back and forth in front of Shen Mingzhu, tapped the white fan gently on the palm of his hand, and then said: "I have no other requests. After all, everyone is in this imperial city, not to mention the elders in the family. As an official, you need to be harmonious and noble, so that you can better serve your Majesty and the people of the world."
"But you did something wrong, and I can't do nothing. Not everyone will dare to bully me, so let's take a step back. I don't need you to do anything, so you can do it in front of everyone. , apologize to me three times, and this matter will be considered in the past."
"You!" Shen Mingzhu was angry again, as if she had heard some big joke, "You actually want me to apologize?"
In this imperial city, there are few people who can make her bow her head and apologize, let alone Xie Yixiao, the daughter of the Xie family's former minister?
"Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Now that I have spoken, I naturally know." Xie Yixiao lowered his eyes and smiled, "Since you have done something wrong, isn't it appropriate to apologize? My requirements are not high, and I won't let you apologize and pour tea. I just need You're just apologizing sincerely, is this possible?"
"What a joke, who are you? Who am I? You, the Xie family, are just relics of the former dynasty. Your Majesty is kind enough to spare your lives, but you are not grateful and yet you dare to ask me to apologize to you!"
It's the same thing again.
Xie Yi smiled and gave her a steady look, and then said: "His Majesty has left our Xie family. It is indeed a great favor from the Emperor. We, the Xie family, are extremely grateful. No, our uncle and elder brother have also been in the court to pay tribute. Your Majesty works for the world in order to live up to His Majesty's kindness."
"Besides, Miss Shen, please don't say anything about leaving your ministers alone. The world is now owned by Dongming. Naturally, we are the ministers and people of Dongming. Don't you see, the people of this world also came through the previous dynasty. Could it be that now If we are no longer from Dongming, should we say we are 'remnants of the Qin Dynasty'?"
"The Xie family is naturally just like everyone else in the world." At this point, she added,
"The Xie family saw the corruption of the Qin Dynasty in the past and did not want to join them. No one has been an official in the government for a long time. In other words, the Xie family was just a clan at the time and could not be considered a court official. I would like to invite Miss Shen here. Be careful in your words and deeds, and don't use the label of 'remaining minister' indiscriminately."
In fact, after all is said and done, the Xie family is still smart and cautious.
Seeing that the Qin Dynasty was dying, the children in the family withdrew from the court and branched out. When the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, the Xie family did not even have an official in the court. It was just a peaceful clan. They surrendered to the new dynasty and donated their family wealth. This is what we are today. The Xie family.
"Now our Xie family is like the rest of the world. Some of the men in our family are officials in the court. Like all your Majesty's ministers, our allegiance is to your Majesty and the world of Dongming."
"If Miss Shen feels that our Xie family is disloyal to His Majesty, the Taiji Palace is not far from here. Miss Shen can just go to His Majesty and complain. Your Majesty is aware of everything and will definitely find out the truth."
"But what we are going to talk about now is Miss Shen's apology to me. Since Miss Shen did something wrong, it's better to sincerely apologize and don't talk about these things."
After saying that, Xie Yixiao sat on a chair, as if waiting for Shen Mingzhu to apologize. Seeing this, Mingshi also sat down on the chair next to her.
The two sisters-in-law looked like they were waiting for her to apologize.
Shen Mingzhu was so angry that her heart and lungs ached, but she always thought highly of herself. Except for the people in the palace, she didn't take anyone seriously. Not to mention apologizing, she even lowered her head to take a second look, just to give others face. of.
The Beitinghou Mansion is the old department of Prince Zhaoming. Prince Zhaoming and all the officers and soldiers have passed away. The Beitinghou Mansion and His Majesty have no respect for it, let alone others.
Moreover, her aunt used to be the Princess of Huainan, and now she is the Princess of the Palace of Huainan. Soon, she will also become the Princess.
Now she is actually asked to apologize to Xie Yixiao?
Ming saw that she had been silent for a long time and looked reluctant. She couldn't help but frowned: "Miss Shen, since Miss Xie asked you to apologize, let's forget about today's matter, so you can say Sorry."
"Impossible!" Shen Mingzhu was still unwilling to apologize. If she had spoken out today, wouldn't she be inferior in front of Xie Yixiao? If word spread, she would be ridiculed.
"I will never apologize!" Shen Mingzhu looked coldly, "I, the Shen family of the Beiting Hou Mansion, are heroes of the Dongming Dynasty and were the former subordinate of Prince Zhaoming. How can I apologize to your Xie family?"
"Miss Xie needs to understand that the world is now dominated by Dongming. Da Qin has long since died, and the Xie family has long been in decline. How can the Xie family make our Shen family apologize? If our Shen family apologizes, how can we be worthy of those who died?" soldiers!"
"This is absolutely impossible!"
After saying that, Shen Mingzhu snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, then turned around and left.
