章 47: Swallowing Her Words

Fortunately, Madam Meng reacted quickly and explained with a smile, "No, I just happened to remember you and Meng Wan when you were both younger. I must be getting muddled that I actually said such things in front of Miss Qiao. Miss Qiao, you won't mind, right?"

Qiao Xi said, "What if I say I mind? Can you take those words back?"

Gu Zheng: "…" This woman would never allow herself to suffer.

Madam Meng's expression froze for a moment. Perhaps she did not expect Qiao Xi to not take her dignity into consideration at all. Even so, she quickly reacted. "Right, right, right. It's normal that you would mind this. As your elder, I was insensible. How could I bring up matters of the past to upset you? Let me apologize to you, alright?"

She was lowering her status and mentioning her identity as an elder. If Qiao Xi continued to pester her, then it would seem that she was too unreasonable and unforgiving.
