Chapter 72 The Great Reconciliation of the Century

Zhao Wanyue felt her head buzzing. Everyone in the capital knew that Grand Tutor Tang and Prime Minister Pei were at odds, so the two families did not interact privately. Now that the two old ladies met on the narrow road, it was like a Shura field.

Now that Old Madam Tang had taken the main seat, she could not arrange Old Madam Pei to the side. Zhao Wanyue made a bold decision to add a table next to Old Madam Tang, and the two drove side by side.

No one could be offended anyway. Zhao Wanyue pretended not to know about their feud and said respectfully: "You two are the most respected imperial ladies in the capital. I can brag about inviting you two here today for the rest of my life."

"Humph!" Old Madam Tang turned around.

"Hmph!" Madam Pei was not to be outdone, and the two ignored each other.

The other female relatives saluted the two old ladies, and sat there with their eyes on each other, no one dared to speak first.

Liu was even more silent, firstly because she was guilty of being a thief, and secondly because these two were her elders, especially Madam Tang, who had never been kind to her because of Tang Xiu'er. The

old sisters she invited could only be arranged at the last seat according to their status, so she simply hid at the end with them. Anyway, even if these two fought, it had nothing to do with her, and if Zhao Wanyue was unhappy, she would be happy.

Zhao Wanyue had no choice but to let the servants serve the dishes and let the opera troupe sing, hoping to ease the atmosphere, but the two old ladies were still awkward.

Su Lingxi was also worried about her mother. These two were at odds with each other. Whether the play could go according to the script or not was a big deal.

Su Xiaoxiao, who was sitting below Su Lingxi and gnawing on a bone, said nonchalantly: [Singing Tao, Li, and Mei, the two ancestors will remember their friendship in their youth and will surely make peace.]

Su Lingxi's eyes moved slightly. Tao, Li, and Mei? Isn't it about the story of the three sisters of the Hai family? Hai Yumei was particularly amazing. She disguised herself as a man to pass the imperial examination, and she gave up the marriage that was forced upon her by the bully. She and her sister both married their ideal men. Could it be that Madam Tang and Madam Pei were good friends before?

Su Lingxi quietly left the table and told her mother. Although Zhao Wanyue didn't know the past of the two old ladies, she thought Xiaoxiao's words must make sense, so she immediately asked the troupe owner to change the song to "Tao Li Mei".

Sure enough, as soon as the Hua Dan started to sing, the two old ladies couldn't help but look at the stage. As they listened, Mrs. Tang even took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

Mrs. Pei's eyes were red, and she said coldly: "Who are you showing such a hypocritical look to? People who don't know you would think you are very affectionate."

Mrs. Tang was not to be outdone, and raised her eyebrows and said: "No matter how unloyal I am, I will not forget my former sisters after getting married. I vowed that men should be ranked behind sisters, but you turned your face away after getting married."

Mrs. Pei was furious: "You still have the nerve to say that, it's you who turned your face away, I sent you so many visiting cards, but you refused to see me." Mrs. Tang

became more and more angry as she thought about it: "You are on the first day of the month, and I am on the fifteenth day. I waited for you in Dafu Temple for three days, but you didn't come, and there was not even a letter. Even if Tang Liu beat your Pei San in the palace examination, it was their man's business. We have been sisters for so many years, you are really heartless."

Mrs. Pei was confused: "Dafu Temple, when did you tell me that you were waiting for me in Dafu Temple?"

"As soon as the results of the palace examination came out, I didn't have time to celebrate with Pei Liu, so I asked Qiu Ling to send you a letter, saying that I was waiting for you at the Big Buddha Temple. You didn't come for one day, two days, and I was going to go to Pei Mansion to find you after I went down the mountain. I never thought that you asked Qiu Ling to take the gold hairpin I gave you to tell me that you didn't want to see me anymore." Thinking about it now, Mrs. Tang felt depressed. Mrs.

Pei was not much better. She covered her chest and said, "As soon as the palace examination was over, I was afraid that you would think too much, so I left Pei Er and wanted to go to Tang Mansion to find you. Qiu Ling took the jade bracelet I gave you and said that you and I had different beliefs and could not do anything together. We would never be friends again. I was furious, but I couldn't bear to give up our friendship for many years. I asked Qiu Ling to deliver the visiting card several times, but you scolded Qiu Ling back every time."

"Qiu Ling clearly said you don't want to see me!" After these words came out, the two old ladies finally realized: "Qiu Ling! It turns out that Qiu Ling is the one who is interfering!"

Old Madam Pei was so angry that her hands were shaking: "We treat her like our own sister, why did she do this?"

Old Madam Tang understood a little: "It's our fault that we trusted her too much. Our family background is better than hers. When our husbands took the palace examination on the same day, Tang Liu won the first place, Pei Er was the second place, but her husband was only the last place. We were only worried that the first and second place would be quarreling and affect us, and we didn't care about her feelings."

"Tang Liu and Pei'er have disliked each other since they met. Isn't it normal for us to be a little nervous? Even so, Tang Liu and Pei'er have always taken care of their family. How could he have the heart to let us misunderstand each other for decades? I really misjudged her!" Old Madam Pei just wanted to curse her mother.

Old Madam Tang smiled: "Your temper is still the same as when you were young, full of hatred and malice. That's good. It shows that Pei Er is really good to you, so you are still so unrestrained after decades."

Old Madam Pei's eyes were like torches: "Tang Liu is always obedient to you, and if he treats you badly, I don't care whether you pay attention to me or not, I will rush to the Tang Mansion and tear her apart!"

Old Madam Tang's eyes were red: "It's my fault as an elder sister. We have misunderstood each other for so many years."

Old Madam Pei took out her handkerchief to wipe her tears, and joked: "You are still so crybaby. Fortunately, you know the truth before you die, so you don't die with regrets."

Old Madam Tang slapped her and scolded: "You are so old and still so outspoken."

The two looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and finally put aside their past grudges.

Madam Qi and Madam Pei didn't bother to listen to the opera. They just tilted their ears and ate melons. It turned out that their mother-in-law had such a wonderful story.

The female relatives below were far away and couldn't hear what the two old ladies were saying. It seemed that they were arguing, and then they started crying. Why did Madam Pei wipe Madam Tang's tears?

Everyone was watching attentively, and the exquisite banquet didn't smell good anymore.

Finally, Madam Tang took off the gold hairpin on her head and inserted it into Madam Pei's head. Madam Pei took off the jade bracelet on her hand and put it on Madam Tang's wrist. The two held hands and listened to the opera with smiles on their faces.

This is too incredible.

Su Xiaoxiao was so happy that she clapped her hands: [The world is reconciled. At such an important moment, isn't it worth a drink?

Zhao Wanyue thought her daughter's words, no, her thoughts, made a lot of sense, so she picked up her wine glass and said, "It is a great honor for my humble home to have you all here today. The hardest part is that the two old ladies are so close to each other. I, a junior, will shamelessly let you all toast to the two old ladies." Seeing

Zhao Wanyue drink the wine in the glass, Liu smiled with satisfaction, and she also picked up her wine glass and drank it all. Zhao Wanyue, your good luck is coming to an end.
