While waiting for Su Qingli, Mrs. Xiao was a little nervous, as there were many rumors about Su Qingli in the capital.

She forcefully broke off her engagement with Prince Zhao, defining him as an ungrateful, white-eyed wolf. She knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times, begging Concubine Zhao not to embarrass Old Madam Su. Her every move was a fight to the death against Prince Zhao's Mansion.

Mrs. Xiao was afraid that after Su Qingli came, she would be extremely powerful and would force Yin Chi to pay a price, which would make her lose face.

Just when Mrs. Xiao was feeling uneasy, Su Qingli came. She was wearing a thin, alizarin-blue peony-patterned long skirt with a simple hairpin inserted in her hair. As she walked, the hairpin did not get messy at all.

"Greetings to grandma."

"This is Madam Xiao. She was entrusted by the great General Shenwu to come and apologize on behalf of General Yin's brother Yin Chi. Do you know what's going on?" The old lady explained Madam Xiao's identity and the reason for her visit in a few words.

Su Qingli's heart brightened as she bowed to Madam Xiao. "Greetings, Madam Xiao. Please tell General Yin on my behalf that Yin Chi and I only had a quarrel, which was harmless. I am very grateful that the general did not blame me."

Mrs. Xiao's worried heart finally returned to the distance. She originally thought that if Su Qingli was unreasonable, she would use the old lady's power to suppress her and make sure to resolve the matter. She never thought that Su Qingli was so tactful.

"Miss Qingli is generous, worthy of being the daughter of a prime minister. She has an extraordinary demeanor."

"It was just a small matter, but it caused General Yin to worry and Madam Xiao to work hard. It's Qingli's fault. Please forgive me, Madam." Su Qingli acted appropriately, which made Madam Xiao think highly of her.

Rumors are misleading. How could such a girl who knows when to act and when to retreat and who understands etiquette end up having her engagement broken off? I'm afraid she won't be able to find a good family to marry into in the future.

"I just spoke, how can I say that I worked hard?" Madam Xiao handed over the gift entrusted by Yin Ze. "This is General Yin's gift of apology. I hope Miss Qingli will accept it."

Su Qingli didn't take it, but looked at the old lady. The old lady smiled and said, "It's common for children to quarrel and bicker. There is no etiquette for accepting gifts from others. Take the things back and don't worry General Yin."

Madam Xiao pondered for a moment, then had the gift taken away. "In that case, I will take the gift back and pass on a message to General Yin, asking him to rest assured that Miss Qingli, the Prime Minister, is tolerant and will not bear a grudge against such a small matter."

"Mrs. I'm here."

Grandma Gao went to see Madam Xiao out of the house. The old lady then looked at Su Qingli and asked, "What's going on?"

"Grandma, it's really a small matter. Yin Chi is good friends with Mu Bai, and Mu Bai has never liked me, so he made a few sarcastic remarks to me. I was so angry that I just said a few words to him."

The old lady suddenly felt puzzled and had a few words with him. Why did General Yin go to such great lengths to ask her family to come and apologize?

"Nothing else?"

"That's all." Su Qingli said affirmatively. She was a person who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment. Besides, this matter did not succeed, so she would not vent her anger on Yin Chi. However, if Yin Chi fell into her hands next time, she might not show mercy.

"Yin Ze is favored by His Majesty, but he is a ruthless and vicious man. People in the capital fear him like a wolf. You are just a weak woman. Don't get involved with him, or you will be implicated."

"Granddaughter, don't bother." Su Qingli answered obediently. She hadn't even dealt with the people in the mansion yet, so how could she dare to provoke such a person? The reason why the other party asked someone to come and apologize was just for the sake of King Zhan.

If it was her who captured Lu Wei, she probably wouldn't come to apologize, but would instead lead an army to hold him accountable.
