Chapter 57: Admitting Mistakes with Ulterior Motives

When this kind of thing happened, these wives originally thought that Yan Yan would not come to today's birthday banquet.

Because since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there have not been women with dirty conduct, but they were either sunk in the pond or ended up on their own, and no matter how bad they were, they took the initiative to cut their hair and become nuns, how could anyone be as cheeky as Yan Yan?

Of course, it's not right to say that he is completely cheeky, after all, Yan Yan also planned to end it on his own at the beginning, but Lord Yan confiscated it.

It's just that no one expected that Yan Yan, who had died once, would be like a different person, not only did she no longer seek death, but also persuaded the Queen Mother to support her and force Mrs. Lu to apologize to her in public and admit her mistakes.

What's even more incredible is that she also moved the prince as a backer, not only scolded the two sons of the Lu family with a cane, but also ordered someone to carry these two sons through the city, so that the people of the whole city knew that the two sons of the Lu family were scolded with a cane because they collided with the eldest lady of the Yan family, so that the fault was pushed to the Lu family.

This girl is too skillful, right? Who would dare to marry such a girl?

But then again, since the old lady Yan is gone, this girl has always been decent, and she is usually not inconspicuous, probably because she doesn't want to be smart and exposed, for fear of causing trouble for herself.

But who would have thought that hiding around and hiding, trouble still found her, I heard that rabbits are in a hurry and bite people, let alone people?

Thinking of this, the women in the hall were all excited, you must know that the Lu family is not another family, it is the head of the four princes, the entire capital, except for the royal family, is also the most noble of the Lu family, but now Mrs. Lu wants to apologize to Yan Yan, an orphan girl who has no father and no mother, to admit her mistake in public, this kind of excitement is rare in a hundred years, who doesn't want to see it?

The Queen Mother naturally guessed Yan Yan's intentions, but the problem is, even if she wants to support Yan Yan again, she has to wait for these wives to finish the gifts, right?

Unexpectedly, when the Queen Mother opened her mouth to tell Yan Yan to return to her seat, Mrs. Lu stood up, "Empress Dowager, the courtiers have something to say." ”

"Duchess Zhenguo, please speak." The Queen Mother gave her this face.

"Back to the old lady's house, the courtiers are here today, in addition to wishing the queen mother's birthday, there is another purpose, that is, to apologize to Miss Yan Yan in public and admit her mistakes, the courtiers originally wanted to wait for the end of the gift before fulfilling the promise, but I didn't expect Miss Yan Yan to seem to be unable to wait. Anyway, it's early or late, and the courtiers should admit it now, the provincial Yan Yan girl is not at ease, and the old man of the Queen Mother will not worry about us. After speaking, Mrs. Lu smiled at the Queen Mother and the Queen, and then fell on Yan Yan's face.

Yan Yan naturally heard her words, and was about to open her mouth to defend herself, when she saw Mrs. Lu formally curtsy to Yan Yan, "Miss Yan Yan, it is indeed my lack of thought that I asked my family Erlang to take Da Lang to participate in your New Year's ceremony, here, I apologize to Miss Yan Yan, and I hope that Miss Yan Yan will have a lot of them, spare my two poor sons." I heard that Miss Yan Yan wanted to become a nun, and the girl must know that Buddhism is the most generous and virtuous. ”

Yan Yan didn't like to listen to these words even more, "Mrs. Lu, the little woman doesn't understand this, first, this apology and confession of mistake is not what you promised, it was proposed by the little woman herself, so it can't be regarded as a fulfillment of the promise; Second, the little woman promised Mrs. Lu that she would terminate the marriage contract with Lu Shizi after Mrs. Lu apologized and admitted her mistake, so the little woman didn't care if she was at ease or not, she was afraid that there was someone else who couldn't wait, right? Third, the little girl is just a weak woman with no father and mother, who is bullied and calculated, and will only think that she deserves to be unlucky, so she has to find a white silk to hang herself, how can she have any qualifications and abilities to forgive others? On the contrary, the little woman also wanted to beg Mrs. Lu, begging Mrs. Lu to raise her noble hand and let the little woman live. ”

Mrs. Lu didn't like to hear these words, she turned to the Queen Mother, "Empress Dowager, although the courtiers sincerely apologized to Miss Yan Yan and admitted their mistakes, the courtiers repeatedly stated that this matter was really an accident, not to mention any bullying or bullying. If the Queen Mother doesn't believe it, please ask Mrs. Dingnanhou, since the engagement, the courtiers have always loved Miss Yan Yan, and the annual rites and New Year's gifts are prepared by the courtiers themselves, and the gifts are also liked and used by Miss Yan Yan, and we are also sent to Erlang to send them personally. Also, in order to wait for her to grow up, our Erlang has not yet married, originally thought that this year's girl is the New Year, and our Lu family can do happy events, so our Lu family even found a senior monk to welcome the day of marriage, but who knew that such a thing happened, and the courtiers also felt wronged. ”

Mrs. Lu paused when she said this, glanced at the faces of these people present, and finally paused on Yan Yan's face, "There is another point, although I shouldn't have let Erlang take Da Lang to the mansion to participate in Miss Yan Yan's New Year's ceremony, but if your Yan Mansion didn't open the back door of the library building that day, if the mother-in-law and servants of Yan Mansion were a little more conscientious that day, this accident would not have happened." Therefore, the responsibility for this matter must not be borne by our Lu family. ”

"According to Mrs. Lu's inference, if one day your Lu family enters the thief, it is not the thief who should be held accountable, but the descendants of your Lu family, who let the people not take care of the family?" Yan Yan shot back.

"Naturally, half and half responsibility."

Mrs. Lu's words, the little woman did not dare to agree. Buddhism has a saying, everything pays attention to cause and effect, thieves steal, thieves are the main cause, if he does not covet other people's things, how can he be willing to take the risk of stealing? In the same way, if it weren't for Lu Shizi who brought the eldest son of the Lu family into the Yan Mansion and did not fulfill his duty of care, the eldest prince of the Lu family would not have trespassed... ”

It's a pity that Yan Yan's words were interrupted by Ma Shi before he finished speaking, "Yan'er, these are two different incidents, and Lu Shizi and thieves can't be compared. ”

After speaking, Ma Shi hurriedly stood up, "What Mrs. Lu said is extremely true, our Yan family does have part of the responsibility for this matter, and I have also interrogated those servants, they did open the back door in order to go to the reeds behind the library to pick up wild duck eggs, and that back door is usually not entered or exited, and only a reed path by the lake can be inserted diagonally. Who knew that it was a coincidence that the eldest son of the Lu family walked into the trail by mistake that day. For this reason, it can only be said that this kind of accident is purely providential, and I believe that this is definitely not Mrs. Lu's original intention, and naturally it is not the original intention of our Yan family. ”

After explaining the general process of this incident, Ma also came out and knelt down to the Queen Mother, she still had something to say.
