Meng Qinghe tried every means to ask someone to plead for mercy in the court. The second wife of Meng also tried her best and went to the Yiwang Mansion, the East Palace, and the Jingzhao Mansion to plead for many places. She returned to her parents' home to find a solution, but none of them were successful.
Xiao Lingyue originally thought that, given the second wife of the Meng family attached great importance to Meng Wanqing, Mrs. Meng might continue to beg her.
But unexpectedly, the lady did not come again.
Now that I come to the door, I wonder what else is going on?
When Mrs. Meng Er saw her polite and cold look, she looked embarrassed and nervously pinched her handkerchief: "Mr. Anping, don't get me wrong, I...I'm here to apologize to you."
"Apology?" Xiao Lingyue raised her eyebrows.
"Before, because of my daughter's affairs, I had some unpleasant things with the county lord Anping and said some excessive things. I have thought about it carefully at home these two days and felt that we were too rude, so... I
I have always wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to you."
Mrs. Meng Er's expression was very unnatural, as if she was embarrassed, as if she was nervous and embarrassed.
Her eyes were flickering, and she held the handkerchief tightly with both hands, almost daring to look at Xiao Lingyue's eyes.
Xiao Lingyue felt a little nervous and said lightly: "Madam, you're polite, you don't need to apologize."
"It's used!" Mrs. Meng said hurriedly, "Anyway, we are not good. Wanqing did something wrong... It's true that you can't blame you. If you refuse to help, we shouldn't be too much.
I blame you, I was too excited and worried about my daughter’s safety before, and I was a little too extreme in terms of words and deeds. I have already reflected on it, so I came to apologize to the Lord of Anping.”
As she said that, she waved to the palace maid beside her.
The palace maid walked over in small steps, holding a tray in her hand, and two glasses of sake were placed on it.
Xiao Lingyue looked at two glasses of wine and raised her eyebrows and said, "Is this..."
Mrs. Meng Er held a glass of wine and smiled awkwardly: "I happened to have a chance today, so I would like to pay a cup to the Lord of Anping. I hope you have a lot of it and don't care about my previous mistakes.
I'll do it first!"
As he said that, Mrs. Meng was anxious to drink.
Xiao Lingyue held her hand and suddenly asked, "Does Madam usually like to drink?"
Mrs. Meng subconsciously shook her head: "I never drink alcohol..."
"Since I don't drink it, then forget it." Xiao Lingyue said in a plain tone, "This wine smells quite strong. Madam is afraid that it will be easy to get drunk. I apologize that I will accept it, so I won't need this wine."
Xiao Lingyue has a good alcohol content, but she rarely drinks.
Especially the wine in the palace, people know what is added to it.
She didn't believe that Mrs. Meng Er was really coming to her to apologize. She didn't look like this, but she seemed to have other purposes, and she couldn't hide her guilty expression.
Xiao Lingyue didn't dare to drink the wine she toasted.
Mrs. Meng Er was anxious when she heard this: "Mr. Anping refused to drink my wine, isn't she willing to forgive me?"
Xiao Lingyue said: "Of course not."
"Then why don't you drink?" Mrs. Meng said anxiously, "I only toast you this cup, and I won't get drunk! Since you are willing to accept my apology, then drink it, otherwise I won't be at ease.
”
Xiao Lingyue: "..."
Are you so anxious to let her drink?
She narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the wine held by the palace maid, and suddenly smiled.
She reached out and said inexplicably: "Since the lady said that, I'll drink it."
