Chapter 1013 Idiot and Transparency
Ban Fu's grandmother and mother were overjoyed upon hearing this. However, the man's family didn't express any dissatisfaction, so they didn't want to be the first to break up the match. They could only say, "The Ban family thanks Princess Xincheng for protecting Sister Fu."
Ban Fu's mother added, "With you here to uphold justice, we, the elders, no longer have to worry about Sister Fu."
Ban Fu Niang actually secretly blamed her own parents-in-law... In order to maintain the harmony of the family alliance, she pretended to be unaware of the Mi family's use of Fu Jie'er as a child and let the Mi family make a fuss.
Now that someone has died, her sister Fu has become a nobody, but it is obvious that her sister Fu was the innocent victim!
Ban Fu stood up and bowed solemnly to Madam Cui. She said, "Sister Fu thanks the princess for her protection. Princess, please don't worry too much about me. After the incident with the heroine's donation, I have realized that life is up to me. If I can't stand on my own feet, even if I marry into a wealthy family, I won't be able to live well."
On the day when she was holding the list of materials to donate money at the city gate, when she heard the word "heroine", she, who had been ignorant for more than ten years, finally woke up.
She seemed to see the entire trajectory of fate; she seemed to be walking in history.
She suddenly understood that she, they, and everyone were a stroke in the long river of history. As long as she lived her life in a positive direction, as long as everyone lived their lives in a positive direction, they could make history write a positive stroke.
Countless positive contributions will become a part of history that future generations will sing its praises.
Well, I have to say that reading Miss Ban’s book was not in vain. She has a high level of understanding and the ability to deduce the course of history.
"Well said. You are so insightful. I believe you can live a prosperous life." Mrs. Cui was very pleased. She really loved the cleverness of young girls.
However, it was too early to be relieved, because the fool came.
"Hello, Madam Cui, hello, old lady, and Madam. The wife of Lieutenant General Zhao came to ask for a meeting, saying that she wanted to apologize." The housekeeper of the Ban family came to report.
The Ban family now wished they had never met the Mi and Zhao families, so they didn't want to see Madam Zhao, but because Madam Cui was present, they asked her opinion.
Madam Cui said, "Now is the time to mobilize our forces, and it is better to resolve grievances than to create them. Since Madam Zhao has come to our house, we should clear up the misunderstanding. Otherwise, wouldn't we be leaving a family of enemies for our descendants?"
Ban Fu's grandmother was startled: "The princess is right."
He hurriedly ordered the housekeeper, "Please invite Madam Zhao."
"Yes." The housekeeper went to invite someone.
……
When Madam Zhao saw Madam Cui, she immediately bowed and greeted them: "Junior greets Madam Cui, Madam Ban, and Madam Ban. Today, I come on behalf of the Zhao family to apologize to the Ban family. I am truly sorry for causing Miss Ban such an undeserved disaster. But my family was also deceived by Madam Mi. You don't know, Madam Mi is quite a cunning person..."
After speaking seriously for a while, the tone suddenly changed and he started chattering on and on, pointing out the faults of the Mi family.
Ban Fu's grandmother was terribly embarrassed and quickly interrupted her, "The Ban family has received Madam Zhao's apology. We are also aware of the situation, but it's not enough for us to be the only ones to know. The Zhao family must also clarify the situation publicly, lest outsiders, unaware of the situation, fabricate fabrications against the Ban girls."
Are you sick in the brain?
What you did has become a big deal, so why are you coming to my house to explain? First, explain outside, clear my family's name, and then use this cleared name to come back and apologize to my family. This is the proper process for resolving a grudge!
Instead of clarifying the matter publicly, they just came to my house to give gifts and apologize. What's the point? Mrs. Ban Zong was really angry to death!
Mrs. Zhao sighed, "Mrs. Ban is right, but my family is afraid that your family will be furious, so we came to apologize to your family first, and then make an external clarification."
"Don't worry, Madam Ban. After we leave your house, I will immediately have my old Zhao send soldiers to all parts of the city to clarify the matter. We will never let anyone misunderstand Miss Ban."
Hiss, the Ban family is really about to pinch themselves!
Mrs. Zhao still felt that what she said was quite good, and she said to Mrs. Cui, "Madam, I am going to your house to give you a generous gift to apologize. I hope you will not be angry about what Old Zhao and my eldest son did when they went to the fried goods store to rescue Mi Sanlang."
"At that time, I really didn't know that the Mi family was so evil. We were also used by the Mi family. We also blame them."
The Ban family members immediately turned cold, and Madam Cui also glanced at her sideways. Madam Zhao belatedly realized what was happening and stopped talking. She stood up again, bowed to Madam Cui, and said seriously, "Madam Cui, my husband said I'm too stupid and that this won't work and will cause trouble. So he told me to learn more from you. Please teach me."
After begging for a long time, Mrs. Cui remained silent. Mrs. Zhao was so anxious that she fell to her knees and kowtowed three times, saying, "Please teach me something."
In their village, kowtow is the most effective way to ask for help. She and Lao Zhao have been using it since they were young. It is very effective and it will definitely work this time.
Madam Ban Zong, Ban Funiang, and all the servants in the house wished they were blind... How could the wife of a deputy general kneel down and kowtow in public?
How can you go out again after doing such a shameful thing!
Haha, Madam Cui sneered and pointed at her, saying, "Your kowtow is a form of coercion, not begging."
Madam Zhao was stunned and hurriedly explained, "I'm not forcing you. I just feel that kowtowing is more sincere. And you're the elder, the princess. It's not beneath my dignity to kowtow to you."
"Help your wife up." Madam Cui instructed the maid beside Madam Zhao.
After the two maids helped Madam Zhao up, Mrs. Cui asked her, "What do you want to learn from me?"
Mrs. Zhao was confused but sincere: "I don't know. My old Zhao asked me to learn from you, so I came to ask you for help."
Not to mention the Ban family, even Mrs. Cui was left speechless by her.
But Madam Cui came from a family of military generals in the northwest, and she had seen many women like Madam Zhao when she was a child... At that time, His Majesty Taizong had just ascended the throne not long ago, and the female elders around her were almost all women like Madam Zhao.
They made a lot of jokes, and many women from noble families laughed at them behind their backs. The banquet was divided into inner and outer venues. The ladies who were awarded titles for their military merits were arranged in the outer venue, while the women from noble families were arranged in the inner venue.
When the ladies of the dukes and marquises heard about it, they made a scene and wanted to settle accounts with the ladies of the aristocratic families. However, Emperor Taizong and the Empress said that the world needed scholars and officials to rule. Instead of helping the ladies of the dukes and marquises, they asked them to learn more about the rules.
Her grandmother was so angry about this that she became ill, saying, "You're living a rich and prosperous life, why aren't you happy at all? You might as well go back to your hometown in the northwest."
"In my guest house, there are several governesses who used to come from the palace. You can go back and discuss it with Deputy General Zhao. If you really want to learn some skills, you can invite one of them back to take care of her." Madam Cui finally softened her heart and took on the responsibility of taking care of Madam Zhao.
"Okay, OK. I'll ask my husband, Mr. Zhao, when I get home." The matter was done, and Mrs. Zhao was happy again.
Mrs. Ban Zong: “…”
Someone from the Mi family has died, and your deputy general Zhao's abuse of power has been reported to the capital, and you are still smiling foolishly?
Alas, Mrs. Ban Zong was also convinced.
……
After Mrs. Zhao went home, she told the matter to Lieutenant General Zhao. Lieutenant General Zhao immediately asked her to prepare a generous gift to hire a nanny and promised that the Zhao family would provide for the old nanny in her old age.
He also arranged for someone to clarify to the public that his family had never had any contact with the Ban family, and that they had just trusted Mrs. Mi and were deceived.
In addition, with the help of Madam Cui, no rumors unfavorable to Miss Ban were spread in the Taizhou Mansion.
