Seeing this, Mrs. Gao hurried to the Prime Minister.
"No matter how much the horses and carriage cost, the Prime Minister's Mansion will not give you a penny less." Prime Minister Gao was angry and had no choice but to stop after seeing this.
"Prime Minister Gao is truly generous." The middle-aged man saluted and stepped aside.
Mrs. Gao was angry.
Prime Minister Gao pulled her over and roughly brought her in front of Prince Xiyan.
"Your Highness, it's all my fault. Please forgive me." Prime Minister Gao saluted.
Xi Liuyuan ignored Prime Minister Gao and instead said to Ye Qianning, "My young master misunderstood Miss Xiang. I will definitely come to apologize tomorrow."
Prime Minister Gao looked unhappy, but the Crown Prince of Xiyan gave Ye Qianning some face. If he didn't say some soft words, this matter might not be resolved.
"Miss Xiang, this is all the Prime Minister's fault. Tomorrow the Prime Minister will come to apologize. Please be magnanimous, Miss Xiang."
Ye Qianning scratched her ears with her hands. "That's not what Prime Minister Gao said just now, right? Wasn't he going to report it to the Emperor? Why are you so cowardly when it's your own fault?"
"I was just joking with Miss Xiang."
"Prime Minister Gao's attitude is firm and he doesn't seem to be joking, right, Lord Li?" Ye Qianning glanced at Lord Li who was watching the show.
Li Zhonghuai was complaining about the Prime Minister's Mansion one second ago, and the next second he was called out by name. He hurried forward and said, "Prime Minister Gao's tone is indeed a bit unfriendly, but, Miss Xiang, the emperor is busy with other things, and the thieves who robbed the palace have not been caught yet. We don't need to trouble the emperor for a few hours."
"Lord Li is right. It was my Prime Minister's Mansion that made Miss Xiang's mistake today." Prime Minister Gao said, kicking Madam Gao: "Why don't you apologize to Miss Xiang?"
Madam Gao's face was filled with rejection, but she had no choice but to do as she was told. "Miss Xiang, it was my negligence that caused me to bump into you. Fortunately, Miss Xiang wasn't hurt. Otherwise, even if I cut the groom into pieces, it wouldn't be enough to hurt a single hair of Miss Xiang."
The middle-aged man became more and more angry as he listened: "It was obviously caused by Madam's fragrance, don't try to put the blame on me."
He knew that everyone here was powerful and influential, and if he took the blame, the consequences would be bad.
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Gao secretly cursed Madam Gao for her stupidity.
She suffered so much at the hands of Ye Qianning, and she thought she could just get away with it with just a few words?
"Stop making excuses. Have you ever heard that a horse can't smell fragrance?" Mrs. Gao turned around and scolded.
"My horse can't stand the smell. When it smelled you, I told you that you insisted on coming up and I couldn't drive you away." The middle-aged man said as he took two steps forward and knelt in front of Ye Qianning: "Miss, you are very perceptive. This is really not my fault."
"Don't worry, I heard everything that happened. You are definitely not involved in this matter." Ye Qianning got down from the chair, raised his hand to hold the middle-aged man's arm, and motioned him to get up.
The middle-aged man was shocked and stood up and stepped back a few steps: "I am dirty, please don't dirty the lady's hands."
"If it's dirty, just wash it off. Unlike some people, no matter how clean they appear, their hearts are dirty and they can never be clean no matter how much they wash." Ye Qianning's childish voice was very pleasant to the ear.
The middle-aged man was stunned and looked at the little kid in front of him. He was surprised that the kid was so young and could make such remarks.
There were quite a few people gathered around, and they were also shocked when they heard this. The children of officials and their children all looked arrogant when they went out.
The girl in front of me is not only friendly but also surprising in her words.
Yes, dirty clothes can be washed, but how can you wash a broken heart?
For a moment, I wondered whose baby this was.
"The Prime Minister's wife's apology is really sincere." Ye Qianning's words were undoubtedly a slap in the face of Mrs. Gao.
Mrs. Gao's face looked extremely ugly, and she dared not say anything more under Prime Minister Gao's angry eyes.
"Miss Xiang..."
"Alright, I'm not the kind of person who won't let go even if I'm on the right side. As long as the Prime Minister's wife sincerely apologizes to the coachman and fully compensates him for his losses, as well as the losses of the damaged vehicles on the scene, I'll let the matter go." Ye Qianning had just become a role model in Kyoto City, and she had to improve her image in front of everyone.
Prime Minister Gao was stunned and turned to glare at Madam Gao: "Why don't you do as Miss Xiang said?"
Mrs. Gao was used to being arrogant, so suddenly apologizing to a rickshaw driver made her feel embarrassed: "I will pay him double the amount."
"It's what it is. I'm speaking from my conscience and will definitely not ask you for a penny more." The middle-aged man is also a man of integrity.
"Why don't you apologize?" Prime Minister Gao wanted to hit her a few times.
"master."
"If you don't apologize, you don't have to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Prime Minister Gao was very disappointed with his son.
Mrs. Gao was surprised: "Master...what do you mean?"
"There is no such tyrannical mistress in the Prime Minister's Mansion."
It means to divorce your wife.
"Master, you want to divorce me?" Mrs. Gao never expected that after half of their life, he would divorce her because of some trivial matter.
"He did something wrong and instead of repenting, he is making such a fuss. It's really despicable." Prime Minister Gao was anxious. Why was he still hesitating when an apology could solve the problem?
"Did I do something wrong? Who did I do this for? I did this for the Prime Minister's Mansion. If it weren't for your daughter, would I have sneaked here?" Mrs. Gao felt very aggrieved.
"No matter what the reason is, if something goes wrong, you must take responsibility. You must apologize to the driver immediately. The Prime Minister's Mansion will compensate you for all the losses today." Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Gao could guess the reason why she sneaked out of the mansion.
The matter of the Gu family dividing their property!
"Apologize? You want me to apologize to a rickshaw driver? Haha." Madam Gao laughed, and her face turned grim as she laughed: "Don't even think about it."
Although she was not of noble birth, her father was the lord of a city in Shu. How could he ask her to apologize to the groom in front of the lowly people?
Absolutely not!
Prime Minister Gao had never seen such a resolute look on Mrs. Gao's face before, and he was a little surprised and embarrassed.
On one side were Miss Xiang and Prince Xiyan, all blaming him for being too confident in what he had said to Ye Qianning. Who would have thought that this mess was caused by his own wife!
On the one hand, facing the people of Kyoto City, the lady refuted him like this. If he did not deal with the people of Kyoto City, how would the officials view him?
An apology and compensation was probably the lightest punishment, but unexpectedly the lady suddenly became tough.
If she had had this kind of momentum when Ye Qianning attacked the Prime Minister's Mansion, would she have been beaten?
Ye Qianning didn't expect Mrs. Gao to be so determined. Today he was too lazy to argue, but she still didn't know what was good for her.
"After causing such a big commotion, yet a simple apology has already stirred up such passion. Madam Gao is truly admirable." Ye Qianning said calmly, "If this happened to someone else, even if they knelt down to apologize, Prime Minister Gao would definitely rip them off."
"Someone, prepare pen and ink." Prime Minister Gao gritted his teeth and said harshly.
"yes."
The servant hurried into the silk-making workshop to borrow pen and ink.
Madam Gao stood there in shock, pointing a trembling finger at Prime Minister Gao: "Are you...really going to divorce me?"
The servant brought writing brush and ink from the silk workshop.
The servant in the silk shop thoughtfully brought out a table and placed it in front of Prime Minister Gao.
Prime Minister Gao didn't want to make a big deal out of it. He thought it was all her own fault. He was silent for a moment, took the brush, and placed the tip of the brush on the rice paper.
Madam Gao took a few steps forward and stared at the words written on the rice paper, each stroke of the word on the paper. She clutched her chest, her face filled with shock and disappointment...
"Since you know you are wrong but refuse to mend your ways and are disrespectful to your husband, I will divorce you from now on." After writing this, Prime Minister Gao threw the rice paper at Mrs. Gao.
Mrs. Gao staggered and fell to the ground.
Prime Minister Gao turned to look at Ye Qianning: "Miss Xiang, are you satisfied with this?"
"Prime Minister Gao is asking this question because he kept harassing me and putting the blame for bumping into Prince Xiyan on me. He even threatened to report it to the Emperor for punishment. But when he learned it was his wife, he immediately changed his attitude. I just asked her to apologize to the driver and compensate for the damage to our vehicle." Ye Qianning's voice rose in dissatisfaction. "It was Madam Gao herself who didn't want to, and Prime Minister Gao couldn't bring himself to divorce her. Are you asking me if you're satisfied with your decision? What? Do you want to put the blame on a child like me?"
Prime Minister Gao had a calm expression on his face and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Everyone present was aware of what had happened, and many of them had been standing nearby watching since the carriage was overturned.
Everyone had heard Prime Minister Gao's previous remarks, and now he asked the little kid whether he was satisfied or not. Those who didn't know would think that the little kid was forcing him to do so.
"Prime Minister Gao, we all heard what you just said to the child. Please don't throw dirty water on the child."
"I heard it too. Prime Minister Gao said that offending the Crown Prince of Xiyan was a serious matter and that he had to report it to the Emperor and demand punishment. He said that to the child in anger."
"That's what they said. The kid even sent guards to investigate, only to find out that Prime Minister Gao's wife's carriage was involved in an accident. Isn't that like shooting oneself in the foot?"
"When he saw that it was one of his own family, his attitude changed so quickly, begging them not to make a big deal out of it. If this matter wasn't related to Madam Gao, wouldn't Prime Minister Gao be ready to kill the little girl?"
"Prime Minister Gao, the child was frightened and didn't say anything. It's you who are always looking for trouble. Your wife is unreasonable. Even after divorcing her, she still wants to get involved with her child. You can't behave like this."
Everyone was talking at once, and more and more people were blaming each other.
Prime Minister Gao's face turned from black to white and then to red. He clenched his hands in anger. What could he say in rebuttal?
Mrs. Gao looked at the swaying divorce letter, and the voices filled her ears. She wished she could eat these unruly people alive, including Ye Qianning.
"Someone, take her away." Prime Minister Gao admitted defeat.
The servant went up to support Madam Gao.
Mrs. Gao glared at Ye Qianning with murderous eyes, and she vowed to make her pay the price.
Ye Qianning was originally a victim and didn't intend to take it too seriously. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gao didn't blame her own prime minister, but instead put the blame on her for her anger.
If she really did something, it wouldn't be unfair. The key point is that she didn't do anything but was hated like this. How unfair it is for her!
If she didn't do something, she would be doing a disservice to Mrs. Gao's murderous eyes.
"Don't leave in a hurry, the work is not over yet." Ye Qianning's childish voice sounded.
It was clearly a pleasant voice, but Prime Minister Gao felt confused.
