Chapter 432: Apology

Jia Min didn't say anything more, and withdrew his hand with a faint expression. Instructed Uncle Zhong to invite the king of Dongping County and the concubine of Dongping to enter the mansion and eat some refreshments in the main hall to rest for a while.

"I've seen Lord Huigui!" Wang Xianrong walked over and saluted Jia Min respectfully.

"Lord Wang, please get up!" Jia Min saw the King of Nan'an County and Shi Hou also approaching her, and took two steps forward to greet them before they saluted, and then saluted the King of Nan'an County and Shi Hou first: "I've seen my cousin!" I've seen my cousin! ”

The smile on the faces of the king of Nan'an and Shi Hou froze, and then they looked at each other and Shi Hou called Jia Min to get up. Concubine Nan'an is Jia Min's aunt, and now Shi Hou is Jia Min's eldest cousin, and he is the title that Jia Min's uncle just took after his death.

The king of Nan'an is even better, the relationship with Jia Min and the Lin family was not far or close before, and the Lin family has hardly had much contact since they went to Jiangnan, so there is no big contradiction between the two families. Concubine Nan'an's personality is different from Jia's mother, maybe she started to be widowed at a young age, and it is not easy to take her son alone, so she has always been very low-key and does not cause trouble, and she is relatively gentle and generous to people. This time, Jia Min also knew in her heart that Concubine Nan'an was most likely calculated by someone, and forced her into this quagmire, with the consistent low-key style of the Nan'an County Palace, whether it was Concubine Nan'an or the King of Nan'an, they were all masters who would not offend people. In that year, the king of Nan'an County was threatened by Xia Lewu, and he also took a kick in stealing the Lin family's secret property, and he felt sorry for the Lin family, so it was even more impossible to take the initiative to provoke the Lin family.

And Shi Hou felt very embarrassed! Not long ago, his sister wanted to kill Jia Min's cousin, and now his wife followed the old lady of the Wang family to death, offending Jia Min again, if he didn't want to see their enemies! After the death of their father, the family was supposed to keep filial piety at home. But today's Mrs. Shihou is restless, saying that these nobles and high-ranking officials' banquets must go, otherwise according to the current reputation of their Shihou Mansion, there will be a retired princess, and there is no military power in her hands, and sooner or later she will be kicked out of the circle of top nobles. Speaking of filial piety, three years is not long, but who can guarantee that after they finish their filial piety, the aristocratic circle in the capital will remember their Shihou Mansion!

The king of Nan'an County and Shi Hou both gave Jia Min an apologetic salute back, but they couldn't say anything, not that they looked down on people arrogantly, nor that they didn't have the sincerity to apologize, but because they didn't have the face to face Jia Min.

Jia Min stood up straight and looked at them with a smile, waiting to see what they would do next. And Wang Xianrong, Nan'an Junwang and Shi Hou all wanted to let others apologize first, and then they followed up with a few more words, so the scene became very embarrassing, and a group of people stood straight at the gate of the Lin Mansion, silent.

Jia Min was not in a hurry, lowered her eyes and made up her mind that she would never speak before they spoke, but the corners of her mouth showed a mocking smile, she wanted to see how long these people could survive, anyway, she didn't do anything wrong, she had a clear conscience, and she was not afraid to stand in front of the public and let people judge her character, but those three prominent men didn't know if they could hang on their faces!

Wang Xianrong glanced at the king of Nan'an County and Shi Hou with his spare eyes, both of whom were burdened by their own old pious woman, and they must have a grudge against the Wang family. Wang Xianrong thought that after all, it was his old pious woman who started first, and he did take advantage of Concubine Nan'an and Mrs. Shihou, and he was somewhat sorry for these two families. So he let out a sigh of relief, secretly encouraged himself, and shook Jia Min to the end.

"Lord Huigui! It was Wang's poor discipline that caused the old wife to speak falsely, tarnishing the reputation of the county lord and Prince Yan, and disrespecting the county lord Huigui! As the head of the Wang family, Wang specially came to apologize, and invited Haihan, the lord of Huigui, to apologize! ”

"Please cousin, don't see it like my mother, she now knows that she is wrong, she went back from the palace yesterday and invited herself to the family temple, and in the future, she plans to eat fast and chant Buddha there, in order to atone for the sins committed by the Nan'an County Palace!" What the King of Nan'an County said was very meaningful, so that Jia Min understood at once that Concubine Nan'an must have known that the King of Nan'an County had done something to the Lin family, so she hid in the family temple to cultivate, and also to hint to Jia Min that their Nan'an County Mansion would no longer be against the Lin family.

Before Jia Min could think about it, Shi Hou gritted his teeth and knelt in front of Jia Min, and then spoke: "Cousin! To be honest, I don't know how to face you, my two younger brothers and I are really shameless to see you, a simple apology can't alleviate the sins of our Shi family at all, I am here to swear to my cousin in front of everyone: Our Shihou Mansion will never do anything to hurt the Lin family in the future, if you violate this oath, my Shi family will be cut off! I know my cousin doesn't want to see us, and we won't bother her in the future! After finishing speaking, Shi Hou kowtowed to Jia Min, then stood up and hugged his fists and said, "Cousin will retire first!" ”

Jia Min did not stop Shi Hou from swearing, nor did he mean to leave him. Jia Min thinks she is an ordinary little woman, she will not be generous to the point that she will forgive her enemies regardless of her previous suspicions. Therefore, she also felt that it would be better for the Lin family and Shihou Mansion to simply break off contact in the future. For her, Shi Jingya is a heinous woman, but for Shi Houfu, after all, it is their dearest person, and no matter how much she makes a mistake, she can be forgiven. Otherwise, her uncle wouldn't have calculated Jia's mother for Shi Jingya's sake and asked her to come to Jia Min's trouble. Since neither of them can let go of the mustard, then simply don't force it!

Seeing that Shi Hou had left, the king of Nan'an County took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Jia Min and said, "This is our Nan'an County Palace's apology to my cousin, I hope my cousin can accept it with a smile!" ”

Jia Min raised his eyebrows and looked at the king of Nan'an County, seeing that he was interested, and he didn't plan to enter the gate of the Lin Mansion. Jia Min didn't know what the king of Nan'an meant's move meant, but she saw that the king of Nan'an really didn't want to put the palace of Nan'an County into the battle of those people, so she simply followed the will of the king of Nan'an, and as a result, he handed over the piece of paper. Jia Min opened it and took a look, raised his eyes and stared at the king of Nan'an in shock, seeing the determined look on the face of the king of Nan'an, Jia Min frowned and thought about it, and then put the piece of paper silently into his sleeve, and showed a kind smile to the king of Nan'an.
